THE CITY WATER.
1t Was Expected the Connections
Would be Made This Morning.

The work of connecting the new city
pump with the l street main was COM
menced early yesterday morning and
continued until nearly nightfall, when
it was found that in running the lines
a variation of nearly an inch had been
made, and that new section of pipe
six feet long, with slight curve, would
have TO be made. All hands were called
off to work at the contractors shops,
but it was stated last night that the
water would be turned into the main
early this morning.
The difference could have been over
come by moving the end of the old
main fraction of an inch to one side,
but the City Taper would not allcw
it to be moved, lest the strain might
weaken it.
While there was much personal in
convenience experienced from the shut
ting down of the water, there was at
no time any danger of a great con-
hagration.
A water train stood on the railroad
track during the whole day near the
Police Station, and the pumps at the
railroad shops were kept going at their
full capacity, supplying some water to
the main.
All the supply tanks were full, and
had an emergency arisen water enough
was at hand to put out any fire that
could possibly arise or to supply any
other need.
The new well at the Capitol was being
pumped from during the whole day,
and it supplied the building with ali
I ha OF f.,
drinking purposes.
OF course the legislators were away
and sampling the San Francisco LIQUID.
but there was enough being pumped
out to not only insure the safety of the
building, but to supply the needs of
the whole crowd.
Look at these hands, said Judge
Henry yesterday afternoon. L forgot
to supply my office with water in ad-
vance, and here l am with dirty fin
gers and can't go out to where I can
wash them. I never saw a water
famine before"
The Judge had to wait in his office
on business and could not do like an
other official did, who got up to the
| tank opposite School Superintendent
Howard's room and laved his hands in
the filtered water there.
All around town there was a lack Of
water for internal absorption and ex-
ternal application while the rain was
pouring in torrents and the streets We're
flooded till the sewers were run full
On Fifth street saloon man forgot
to supply himself with enough water
with which to qualify his whisky. SO he
collected the water from the drain pipe
on the curbstOne.
Two men were seen washing their
hands and faces in the fountain at the
Plaza, and they had soap and towels
with them. Another man got down on
his knees at the corner Of Third and
K streets and washed himself in the
lake between the street car tracks.
Everyone had been notified that the
water would be shut off, but somehow
everyone was shy" on water, one man
so much 50 that he washed his face in
the drippings left below keg of steam
beer in saloon and appeared glad of
the chance

THE new LABOR EXCHANGE,
Its Interests Discussed at Yesterdays
Meeting.
Speakers Dilate on Some of the AL
legged Advantages of Co
Operation.

A meeting of Sacramento Branch, No.
1S1, of the Labor Exchange, was held
In Pythian Castle yesterday afternoon
AS the day was stormy there was not
many present.
The melting was called to order by
! George T. Boyd, Chairman Of the or
ganization, who stated its object and
called on persons present for remarks.
Mr. Widerman gave quite a long talk
on the advantages of cooperation,
showing how people can do away with
the rental and interest systems, and
gave many Illustrations of how labor
saving machines could be advantageous
to the masses, rather than injurious.
He also mentioned the advantages Of
fered in a large building III the city
offered to the organization. This build
ing contains large storerooms ana other
rooms which would make comfortable
homes for its members and others, ana
storerooms would be an excellent place
for depository.
: He stated that number or the mem
bers and others had aVailed themselves
of this opportunity by paying at once
for rooms, so as to secure the ad-
Vantages referred to.
Ex-ASsemblyman Bretz of Alameda,
who has spent much of his life in the
interest of his fellow-man, was pres
ent and lent much interest to the pro-
ceedings by his forcible remarks. he
was listened to very attentiVely by all.
He said that everybody, from the Pres
dent down TO the humbleSt citizen, IS
bound down to the money power, and
that there is not a citizen who has
made an honest investigation but must
confess that the free coinage of silver,
as long as we have metal money, is
one step to reformation.
He spoke of the growth of the diff
ferent branches through the State, and
said that men of means We're inVestl-
eating the merits of the Labor EX-
change, especially one at Red Bluff,
who is thinking seriously of Joining
the branch there, and who Will lend
all his aid and influence. He thought
the local branch had had a liberal
proposition offered, and that the mem
bers should avail themselves of the Of
fer He stated that he had no doubt
but that he could get business men of
San Francisco or Oakland to furnish
the house. and had no doubt that there
We're business men in Sacramento who
would be glad to do the same.
One of the members spoke of how CO.
operation was helping the masses in
some parts of the old country. He
spoke of Glasgow, Scotland, where the
people have control Of the sewage sys-
tenn, the gas and water works. There,
he said, citizens obtained their gas for
cents and their water for 13 cents per
1000 meters.
After a few closing remarks and sug-
gestions by the Chairman, and the an
nouncement that there would be an
other meeting in the same hall next
Wednesday evening at 40 o'clock. the
meeting was adjourned.
Many of the members present availed
themselves Of the opportunity for OBJ
tanning rooms. 1t was the general eX-
preston Of those present that the meet
ing was a profitable one, and that each
would make an effort to better the con-
ditiOn of his fellow-men.

shipping O member of the cabinet ano
the local marine Office at London pays
ont $500, 900 annually in the way OF
salaries, the United States simply main
tains bureau of navigation at cost OF
about $40, 900 per annum. Against this
intrenched position and immense ad-
vantages which British shipping enjoys
and under these unequal conditions
nothing but strong protective policy
IN favor Of shipping will avail.
The United States has become indie
pendent of all the world in everything
on land. We can produce all that is
needful for the wants of a great people,
but when we come to the sea, notwith-
standing our coast line, our position and
natural advantages, we are helpless, i'm
potent and dependent
The United States appropriates an
nually millions Of dollars to improve
its harbors, largely for the benefit of
foreign shipowners. Foreign steamship
companies carry nearly all Of our for
eign commerce and own or control most
Of the valuable water fronts in our ports
Some Of the British steamship lines
pay as much as 800, 900 year rent for
dock privileges in New York. In look
ing over miles Of docks in the harbor of
New York only foreign flags flying from
the masts of foreign ships are seen,
while the American flag is rarely seen
and for the most part floats only over
ferryboats, river and coastwise vessels.
The bill simply imposes an ad valorem
duty Of 10 per cent in addition to exist
ing duties. or, in case of no duty, duty
Of 10 per cent on all goods, wares and
merchandise imported into tho United
States in foreign vessels. If these same
products should be imported in Ameri-
can ships, then there is no additional
duty, and If these products are now free
they would still remain free if brought
in American ships. The bill does not
prohibit or exclude foreign vessels from
carrying our foreign commerce, as the
navigation laws Of Great Britain did
once. The bill leaves to the importer
the choice Of bringing his goods in for
eign ships and paying an additional
0oty Va Az lSA SOie Oh ehOAA NoAdO AoA
this privilege or of bringing them in
American ships and paying no addi.
tioual duty whatever.
The passage Of this bill would pro-
vide business for our ships which they
do not now have and cannot get under
present conditions Under the provision
that this act will not take effect for 15
months after its passage, ships can be
built and got ready for the new business
that will come to them.
The revival Of American shipping, &c
long neglected, is not the cause Of any
party nor Of any particular interest; il
belongs TO no section; it concerns the
whole country, its future prosperity and
welfare; it has become the cause of TO-.
600. 900 Of people. Henceforth they will
take care Of it; in their keeping it will
no longer languish; it will not die.
Sooner or later the patriotic canse OF
upbuilding American shipping will tri.
umph, and Amricans will enjoy and use
their common share in the oceans of the
world and have their part in its carry.
ing trade.
