Reply Thereto.

When the Street and Water Board were
looking around for an expert engineer 10

new water supply they thought of Cen
eral Egbert L. Viele, of New York. Gen
eral viele is an engineer of national rep
utation graduate of West Point, and
won his military title by services render
ed the United States Government during
the War of the Rebellion. His standing
as an engineer has long been known in
this State, of which he was for many
years State Engineer. In connection with
Prof Cook late State Geologist, he made
a complete survey of this State and had
charge of the Typographical section of the
work. While thus engaged General Viele
had every opportunity to study the water
sheds of New Jersey, their capabilities
and adaptability for furnishing the cities
of the State with pure and wholesome wa
ter supplies. He made the most of these
opportunities and it is safe to say that
no engineer is more able or better quail
fed to deal with the subject of furnish
ing Jersey City with new water supply
than General viele. The city authorities
appear TO have had some idea of these
facts for the Mayor wrote the General

venient for him to meet committee OF

Taylor, administer to Spain, tonight
made the following statement to the
Associated Press:
AS certain journals have deemed it
necessary to assert that the present ad-
ministration is in no wise responsible
for my acts as a private citizen, I
deem it my duty to ratify that state
ment. The recent publications signed
by me, and based upon data accessible
TO everybody, were made upon my
sole responsibility from a grave sense
of public duty which 1 cannot doubt is
fully appreciated by the people as a
whole, who are entitled to my testi-
mony. l am sure that the present ad-
ministration is doing it's entire patri-
Otto duty and / have for it no adverse
criticism whatever. On the other hand,
i cannot believe that any one authoriZ-
ed to speak for it has ventured to crit
icise me in any particular, as all know
that / have discharged every obligation
due to it, whether personal or official,
with punctilious fullneSs.

Little Rock, Ark, November 6.-The
supreme court of Arkansas today
handed down a decision which is Of the
greatest interest to the public in gen.
eral, as we'll as to the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers in particular.
1t is well known the locomotive en-
gineers are all employed under con-
tract by which seniority of service
gives priority of right to employme mt,
so that when slackness of business
demands that one or more engineers
shall be discharged, the last engineer
employed shall be the first dismissed.
One of the senior engineers having
been discharged, he brought suit on
the ground that he was discharged
without cause and in violation of his
contract of employment. 1t was con-
ceded that his contract gave him the
right to quit at pleasure and the court
denied his right to recover on the
ground that no contract can be valid
that gives only one party thereto the
right to terminate it. The court holds
that the right to rescind or terminate
a contract must be mutual. The deciS-
ion is far reaching. affecting, as it does.

The text Of the treaty will not be

that the general purposes of the treaty

Norfolk, Va, November 6-The Mer-
chants and Miners steamer Gloucester
arrived about o'clock this morning,
after an exciting sixty mile run with
part Of her cargo ablaze. The fire was
first discovered about l o'clock this
morning, when the ship was off Hog
island, the smoke Of burning excelsior
being detected by those in the engine
ROOM An investigation was immedi-
ately made and the fire was discovered
in the hold Of the vessel under the for
ward hatch, deep down among innu-
merable bales Of excelsior and leather
1t was blazing fiercely and filling the
hold with smoke.
The instant 1t was discovered that
the flames could not be extinguished
by ordinary means, Captain Howes or
dered steam turned on the cargo and
had the ships speed increased to her
full capacity.
There were thirty-one passengers on
board. but such GOODNESS and caution
was exercised by the captain and his
officers that not one of them knew
there was anything the matter until
they reached Norfolk and some of
them do not know even now.
About o'clock, after it was found
that the fire was too stubborn to be
handled successfully by the crew the
Norfolk fire department was notified
and by II o'clock Chief Ryan had put
the flames out, using six tanks of the
chemical engine to do it.
