OF the local authorities were unkind
enough to giggle.
For the next day or two voluminous exv
plantations over the signatures of Collins
Corbin counsel to the East Jersey
Company, relative to the erroneous esti-
mates of the companys engineers were
printed. The news of the failure of the
plant to do what had been anticipated was
lightning flash to the company, its
counsel said. Explanations continued, but
no sympathy was manufactured here. It
rather appeared that everyone was re-
lieved because the temporary contract
would not be foisted upon the city.
Mayor Wanser and the other officials
declared that the arrangement made
with this city had been nullified owing
to the failure of the company to fulfill
its agreement. The company, through its
counsel, made a most pitiful appeal to
the local authorities for an extension of
time III which to make good its contract.
1t offered the city. what water it had to
spare for nothing for a certain period,
and then agreed to furnish an adequate
supply for a specified time at about $40
a million gallons.
Not one of the offers was officially ac-
cepted by the city; in fact. no attention
was paid to the company's propositions.
Notwithstanding this fact the company
went ahead enlarged its Pequannock
plant, making it capable of not only de-
lsvering the 5O,000,0O0 gallons daily to
Newark in. 1900 but to deliver anywhere
from 100000 to S0,000,000 gallons a day.
With such a plant the company can
readily supply Newark, Jersey City, Bay
onne, Harrison, Kearny and all it's other
customers. Consequently if Newark can
be induced or forced to extend the time
for taking control of its plant for fifteen
years, and allow the company to con-
tinue to sell the surplus water, the East
Jersey Company will have, without go
ing to the expense of building another
plant, sufficient water to meet the de-
mands of Newark, this city, ali its other
customers and few more it is dickering
with now
The situation is being watched with
keen interest.

QUEsADA DENIES IT.
No Treaty Drawn Up for the Ending
Of the Cuban Struggle.

WASHINGTON, Jan. A. 1897.-Senor
Gonzales Queseda, the head of the Cuban
Junta In Washington, was informed this
morning that story had been published
to the effect that Secretary Oiney and
Minister De LONE had drawn up articles
to end the Cuban war, on the lines pro-
posed by General Gomez.
Senor Quesada emphatically denied that
any such action had been taken or
could be approved by the Cubans.t He
said the story was absolutely false, as
General Gomez had never proposed any
reform Whatever, nor was there Cuban
IN the Island that would accept anything
but absolute independence.
i 10 make his denial stronger Senor Quas-
ada quoted from the decree issued by
GeneTal Gomez some time ago which it

one IN Cuba bringing overtures of peace

Catholic Hierarchy at Washington
Discussing University Affairs
Episcopalians, Christians and
Other Religious Gatherings.

Washington, Oct 20.-Defnite details
became available today concerning the
cablegram sent by Cardinal Rampolli,
secretary of state. expressing the de
sires Of Pope Leo concerning the case
of Mgr. Schroeder, professor of dog
matte theology at the Catholic Univer-
sity, which has seriously agitated the
board of directors of the University
during the present meeting.
The cable directs the delegate to COM
nlunieate IN q delicate way to the
board of directors of the university that
the pope desires that no change be
made in the status of Dr. Schroeder as
professor of the university at the pres
en- sine.
From reliable sources information
was secured of the fact that Rome has
spoken on the Schroeder case within the
last few days. While there is no doubt
that action has been taken at the vat
lean there is 4 wide divergence of view
between those Interested in the case
as to the effect Of this action and the
exact nature of it. 1t was stated that
the communication from Rome was
limited to an expression of diSappro-
val of the controversy within the uni
versity and a wish for its early ter
mination. Persons favorable to Mgr.
Schroeder, however, said the commune
cations were Of much more specific
character. The first is said to have
been a letter written by a distinguished
cardinal of Europe, setting forth the
result of an interview with Pope Leo
during which the status of Mgr. schroe-
der was discussed. The cardinals let
ter is said to have stated that the pope
did not wish Mgr. Schroeder removed
Later than this, however, and within
the last few days. it is said that Mgr
Martinelli, the papal delegate, received
q eableSram from Rome putting in Off
cial form the wishes of the pope re
garding Mgr. Schroeder, and that these
are favorable to the monsignor This
View is not shared by those who have
been most prominently identified with
the university, the prevailing senti-
ment with them being that the hearing
before the directors will certainly re-
suit in Mgr. Schroeder's retirement.
