Chairman DfnRlcy's Statement Reas-
sures House Republicans.

SuTeA mouse hepuDAcanb.
The anti-sugar trust sentiment in the
House is satisfied with the sugar schedule
as adopted in conference. Mr.. Dingley's
statement has convinced the republicans of
the House that the House has really won
a victory.
Those best qualified to speak on the sub
ject for the antitrust republicans in the
House say that the Senate is merely try
ing to cover it's retreat. and that the diff
ferential in the conference schedule Is no
greater than it was in the House schedule.
They say that the fact is that the Senate
has been compelled to recognize the au-
thority of the House to originate revenue
legislation. and TO take its proper position
in such legislation.
They insist that it Is a decided victory
for the House and triumph for Speaker
Reed.
An effort is going to be made to reach
vote on the conference report in the House
before the adjournment of today's session,
and the expectation is that every repUbli-
can will vote for the bill.
1t is announced that the opposition in
the Senate will consume but little time in
debate when the report goes over to the
Senate.
1t is understood that they will be salts
fled to take vote almost at once on mo-
ton to recommit the report to conference
with instructions to restore white pine lum-
Der to the 81 rate. and perhaps to restore
some of the items taken by conference
from the free list.
II they are defeated on this motion 1t Is
not expected that there will be much de-
lay in the direct vote on the adoption of
the conference report.
Some of the opponents of the tariff bill
made hasty canvass of the Senate dur
ing the executive session of the Senate, and
expressed the opinion that it was possible
to defeat the conference report by one ma
jority if Il senator Is appointed to the Ten
neSsec vacancy.
To secure this. however, all the demo-
Gratis, including McEuery, who voted for
the bill. all those who refused to vote
either way, including Stewart of Nevada
and Mantle Silver republican,, who voted
for the bill. would be neceSSary.

Consumption and Waste of Water.

Capt Gaillard gives tables showing the
consumption and waste of water annually
from 1874 down to June 80, 1897. by the
police census of April 1, 1891" he says,
"the population of the District Of Column

Der Capt. Edward Burr. Corps of En-
gineers, assistant in charge of the distri-
button system of the water department of
the District, estimates from data in his
possession that 2G1, ATS persons are con-
sumers of Potomac water. Assuming
these figures as correct, and taking a mean
of the daily consumption and waste. meas
ured on June 1924 and $780, there is OBJ
tanned daily per capita consumption and
waste Of 1913 gallons for every inhabitant
of the District of Columbia, and of 173
gallons for every person using Potomac
water. Although the total daily consump
ton and waste in 1897 Is less than in 1893,
"a and '95. 1t is still largely in excess OF
what 1t should be. Careful and trustworthy
Investigations and measurements made in
various cities In the United States show
clearly that a per capita daily consump-
ton of IS gallons Is ample for all domestic
business and public purposes. and that any
considerable increase above this amount
must be attributed to waste, due to defec-
tive mains and service pipes, defective
plumbing and willful waste. As a rule

San Francisco, July 21-On Friday
night the patrons of boxing in San
Francisco Will nave an opportunity OF
witnessing a contest that partakes of
the championship class. On that day
George Dixon, the heretofore invinci-
bic little champion, win meet Dial Haw-
kins, the Californian. who whipped
Flaherry at Carson in Ga seconds in a
20-round contest.
The prospects of a whirlwind affair
is exciting a great deal of interest in
the San Francisco sporting world.
Dixon has been hard at work for
three weeks and is now in splendid con-
dition. He has been in training with
joe Wolcott, who is matched with
Green, and Jack Everhardt, who Will

plenty of Hawkins money, however,
and ii is not unlikely that the men will
enter the ring at nearer even money
than the prevailing odds. Hawkins
friends argue THAI his chances of sue
cess are better than DiXon's, iDasmuch
as the Californian beat Flaherty in one
round, while Dixon could do no better
than a draw with the Lowell lad on
three different occasions.

Tacoma, Wash, July 21-The Clon-

stage when every abte-bodied man in
the city is making efforts 10 find means
to get into the gold country. The sight
of sacks full of nuggets and yellow
dust brought down from the Ciondyke
by men Who a year ago We're penniless
is what has created the rush. Out-
fitting establishments here are crowded
with business-in fact, they cannot
handle the orders that pour in for

ing from this port is in no wise able
to care for the business that has sud

As an incident of the great excite
ment here a special meeting of the city
council was held today TO take action
concerning the necessity of raising the
pay Of policemen. So many officers
have resigned to go north that the de-
partment is badly crippled, and it has
been found impossible to get men to
take their places at present wages.
The fire department has also lost sew

by some boat to the mint at San Fran
cisco enough gold dust to pay off the
mortgage on his home, which is prob
ably the first real application of Clon-
dyke gold to that purpose. In his let
ter Mr. Jewett says:
1T is estimated that 1000 men came
into the Clondyke this spring. There
is plenty of work for all of them, and
next winter many more will be needed.
This is the richest district ever found,
and there will be millions of dollars
taken out during the next two years.
Seattle itself has been a wonderful
stimulus in business. The stores are
crowded all day long with men buying
their outfits.
