ernment occurred under the contract
last year. There should be no secret
private contracts as to bonds. Bank
ers should have the same rights and no
more than the men having money in
the savings banks. Mr. Teller also re-
ferred to the offer of the New York
World to take a million of these bonds
at 3 per cent.
81 venture to say" interrupted Mr..
Hill, that the offer of Mr.. Pulitzer is
the only one that has been made. No
bank in the country has made such an
offer. l do not believe that there is
single bank in this country that will
take these coin bonds at 8 per cent"
Mr.. TELLER PROCEEDED
to show that bankers throughout the
country were ready to take these bonds.
He recited specific offers at the time Of
the last issue.
The Senator denounced the "imbe
cility, or dishonesty" of the executive
branch in making this secret contract.
Ii amounted, said Mr. Teller to a mis-
appropriation of public funds and the
public would so judge the past and the
coming transaction.
Mr.. Hill replied that this talk of al
lowing the public to take the bonds was
for political effect; it smacked of dem
agoguery Let the people of Colorado
come forward with their gold. Let the
gold come from any source and see how
quickly it would be accepted. Instead
Of offers there was assertion and crit
icism.
At this point Mr.. Hill paid a tribute
to Mr.. Carlisle, repeatedly calling him
by his full name-John G. Carlisle
which attracted marked attention.
"Imbecile, incompetent, dishonest, is
what we hear" said Mr.. Hill. John
G. Carlisle incompetent? One of the
greatest public men that this country
ever produced. John G. Carlisle dis
honest? And yet, thirty years in pub
lie life and poor man to-day, living on
his salary. Imbecile, dishonest, is
what we hear hissed across the Sen
ate"
Mr. Hoar spoke of the calamitous
conditions, unparalleled in the history of
the United States. presented by the
present transactions of the controlling
executive authorities.
A SHARP COLLOQUY
occurred between Mr.. Hoar Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Sherman as to the use of the
reserve fund for meeting current eX-
penses. Mr.. Hill contending that the
use of United States funds was strictly
in law.
Another equally sharp passage oc-
Cured between Mr.. Hill and Mr. Haw-
ley when the latter referred to the pros
poets of a free silver rider TO the bond
bill
At 5;15 o'clock Mr.. Aldrich rose to
state that as it was apparent no vote
could be reached tonight, he would
move an adjournment
Mr.. Elkins demanded roll call and
there was a chorus of seconds to his
demand. On the call the Senate voted

Superintendent George NJ. Varney, Of
the Water Department of the city gov
ernment, has completed his report for
the year 1895, for the inspection Of the
Water Board, and a glance over it shows
an immense amount Of work done dur
ing the year by the department. Much
of this work was done in the direction
of the extension Of mains, and replacing
small mains with larger pipe.
During the year twelve new fire hy-
drants were placed, nine old ones were
moved, and fifteen were repaired. There
are now 367 fire hydrants in the city,
scattered along more than forty miles
of mains. Thirty-nine valves or stop
cocks were placed during the !&ar, and
eight old ones repaired. Thirty-nine
leaks were also repaired, thirteen OF
them being on large mains. Twenty
three Sm.th-tapper connections were
made. During the past season 1920
feet of main was put down, weighing
254 tons in the aggregate. This pipe
was divided as follows:
Water street, below Eleventh, 120 feet
of 10-.nch.
Ohio street, South Penn to South
Front, 1872 feet of 4-inch.
Forty-eighth street, 252 feet Of g.
inch.
Wetzel street, 1886 feet of 4-inch.
Woods street, Eighteenth to Nine
teenth, $50 feet of 6-inch.
Jacob street, Twenty-fourth to Twen-
ty-sixth, 537 feet Of 4-.nch.
Wetzel street, Th.rty-third to Thirty
sixth. 15 feet Of 4-inch and S39 feet Of
6-inch.
EoT street, FortyAhird to Forty
fifth. 10 feet Of 4-inch and 915 feet Of
6-inch.
Market street, Twenty-frst to Twen-
ty-th.rd,. 1900 feet Of 16-inch.
Twenty-third street, Market to Eoff,
A feet of 4-inch and 625 feet Of 16-inch.
Eoff street, Twenty-third to Twenty
sixth. Is feet of 4-inch and 100 feet Of
16-inch.
Twenty-s.xth street. SO feet of 1O-inch.
These figures make a total of 1,75S
feet of 4-inch, 2,511 feet of 6-inch, 156
feet of 1O-!nch and 3025 feet Of iG-inch
pipe. OF this amount, 2,706 feet was to
replace small pipe taken out, leaving
an increase in the length of distributing
mains of 4,614 feet, and a grand total
length of mains Of 40.5 miles.
When t come to the amount of water
pumped during the year. the totals are
a little startling. The gross amount for
the twelve months was 2.773, ,S5S. .192 gal
Ions. an increase over 1894 of 210,337,-
90S gallons. The amount pumped dur
ing 1895 was divided by months as fol-

winter early in 1895. when many con-
sumers allowed water TO run day ana

Another cause OF the increased con-
sumption was the increased number oil
