tons Tor o new water supply. which wcro pre-
pared by c. c. Vcrmeule and Gnrwood Ferris,
expert engineers, submitted n report last night
recommending that no action be taken on tho
veto, and sharply criticisinE his objections to
the specifications. The report says that tho
committee has arrived at this conclusion for
tho reason that it believes that it would ho
futile at this time to override the veto. The
committee, however, feels that tho public
should he made acquainted with the effect tho
adoption Of the recommendations made by the
Chief Executive would have upon the water
question and that the less alteration made in
the specifications, as Mt present constituted, the
better for the interests of the city.
The report says that his Honor's objections
TO the three. plans proposed seem TO be aimed.
first, at any plan which does not deliver the
whole supply, without pumping, Mt high SER
vice, Notwithstanding that the city does not
use more than ope-ffth OF its supply at O high
service cleration: secondly, at any plan which
permits of the exercise OF great economy by
building works at first just sufficient for tho

The committee says that II his Honor's rec.
ommendation TO confne the bidding entirely
to plan A Is adopted, the result will BIO to put
the city absolutely at the mercy OF the East Jer.
sey Water Company, and to bis claim that q
supply Of 81, 900 900 gallons daily for the city
is entirely inadequate, II %retorts that last year
the city used 20, VOC 900 gallons daily, while
since then the city has lost Bayonne, using
100000 gallons daily, which should reduce
the consumption, to $4,000. 600 gallons daily.
THE natural deduction from the line of rea-
soning followed out by your committee, in con.
sidering the objections OF his Honor the Mayor
says the report, lis that TO adopt his sugges-
tons would result, in the main. in placing the
city absolutely Mt the mercy OF one OF the water
companies. Your committee cannot and will
not believe that the Mayor realized the effect
his veto would have upon the matter, or 1t
would not have been signed by him.
Your board may err In declaring in favor Of
specifications so perfect from the standpoint Of
fully protecting the interests OF the city as to
make a bidding by any company or contractor
impossible, but it can never afford to err by
adopting specifications so drawn as to make
bidding impossible for any one but one com.

The general meeting Of the Yacht Racing
Union of Long Island Sound will be held at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel on Tuesday evening. Dec.

feature that will be brought before the body:
Action on amend ments to the general and racing

In the general racing rules the topics relative
to the definition Of a "corinthian will be dis
cussed, as well as tho meaning Of a sloop or
cutter as defined by the Yacht Racing Union.
The new name OF the organization, THE Yacht
Racing Association of Long Island Sound" will
be adopted with the representation clause that

each 100 or fraction Of 100 members. provided,
however. that no club shall be entitled to more

Another feature of the new rules is that
where, in any case. owing to peculiarly OF rig,
the sail area of u yacht cannot in the opinion of
the measurer OF the club be fairly measured in
the customary way, he may with the sanction OF
the Race Committee take such measurements as
will enable him to compute the actual area OF
sail carried or that may be carried on the spars
used. The prescribed method OF measuring sail
area will. however, be used in all cases where
practicable, and the Eysrtng Isa" Tlm Of a

Few alterations have been made in the classil-

The investigation by the members OF the Re-
publican County Committee from the Twenty
ninth Assembly district into the charges OF
James Yearcance that one-third OF the Republic
can enrolment In that district is fraudulent,
was continued last night at the Twenty ninth
District Republican Club, sos Lexington ave-
nue.. The investigation was made on the evil
dence produced by the Plaza Republican Club
by invitations addressed to enrolled members
could not be found.
The work last night covered twelve election
district associations. and produced no evidence
Of fraud. In many cases the invitations were
wrongly addressed; in a great many more tho
men to whom they were addressed were out OF
the city and their houses closed. Others, not
half of those To be accounted for, had moved
from the election district since the regular
purging OF the rolls in June. Among the invita-
lions returned was one sent to Charles II.
Strong. the Cit leader Of the Assembly district.
It was Endorsed mot found" although he re-
sides in tho district. Nearly one-halr Of those
Investigated were Of this character.
Only one election district Chairman refused
to produce his roll. taking tho ground that,
under the constitution Of the County Commit
tee. the investigators had no right to demand
its production. There were forty Invitations
returned Endorsed not found" from his dis
trict. Several other Chairmen who were sum
moned did not bring their rolls. but promised to
do SO tomorrow night. Among them was DR..
II. J. Jackson, candidate for Coroner at the re-
cent election, whose district Mr.. Yereance said
made the poorest showing with seventy re-
turned invitations.
John S. Tebbetts, Secretary Of the Plaza Re-
publican Club, said that it was discovered last
night that some one had entered the club rooms
during the day and tempered with the evil
dence. The returned Invitations were found in
great disorder. He said that twelve had been
from one e~le ,tion district, and fifteen without
Endorsement had been added TO another. Mr..
Tebbetts laid all this at the door of an un.
known man who, under the guise of q work.

yesterday morning on the plea of repairing

There are, in all the world, 1000 submarine

ttonal ownership in cables, to which the United
states are the only conspicuous exception, Is
tries control of the telegraph service IA under

cables may be needed for war purposes.
In addition to the cables owned by Govern.

William Brookfeld, who has opposed tho

defeated for reelection as President of the
County Committee in 1898. and who has been
loudest in denouncing 1t as fraudulent: and in
his demands for u new Republican organiza-
ton in the county. is disposed to listen to the
pacidcatory propositions Of President Quigg
looking to a harmonious union of all Republi.
cans. He said yesterday:
IF the machine 10 really willing to abandon
its present rolls and have an entirely new en-
rollmcnt under the direction of a committee
composed of disinterested men, OF such charac-
ter and reputation as will inspire confidence in
the work when completed, it seems to Inc not
impossible to secure party harmony. The
union cannot. however, be brought about
through the columns of the newspapers, nor can
the matter much longer be delayed. Another
organization Is sure TO be formed, unless the
machine gives positive evidence Of its sincere
purpose to abandon its present attitude"
Tho Executive Committee OF Mr.. Brookfeld's
faction will meet at Lyric Hall tomorrow night
TO consider the matter of a further extension of
the organization. and a union with other Re-
publicans who have recently expressed a desire
Tor u separate organization. II was said last
night that MIR. BrOokieid may suggest "a post

ConEressmnu McEwsn OF Jersey City at Odds
with the Republican OrEaniEation.
Congressman Thomas McEwen. who is at odds
with the Republican leaders Of Hudson county.
N. j., held a primary on u doorstep in Jersey
City last night in an effort to prevent being
turned down. The Congressman's delegates
won. but as the delegates Of Freebooter Fred
orick Stuhr. who held an opposition primary,
also claim a victory, there will be two sets Of
delegates, and as the Stuhr crowd is backed by
the machine, the Congressman will be in all
probability ignored.
Primaries were held throughout the county
last night for the election OF delegates to the
General Committee. Congressman McEwen
and Freebooter Stuhr were rivals for the lead
ership in the Twelfth ward. They marshalled
their forces early. When the McEwen crowd
arrived at the polling place, 50 Congress street,
they found it closed and were informed that
the Stuhr faction had moved TO Han
cock avenue and South street. 1t was
then that Congressman McEwen organized
the primary on the doorstep-the ballots
being cast In n paper boX-and elected his dele
gates. The Stuhr faction did likewise at their
polling place, the rear of a saloon. Tho protest
which will be MADE to the County Committee
and the probable turning down of Congressman
McEwen will further widen the breach between
him and the Republican leaders of the county.
