in House of Congress.
London, April lathe Times will
print tomorrow tie following despatch
from its Athens correspondents:
"Sober persons here doubt whether the
raiders have done the cause of Hellenism
any real service. It is inexplicable how
the Ethnike Hetairias forces continue
their operations without any base. Their
numbers alone require that they receive
constant supplies Of provisions and
munitions of war. II is highly probable
that thsy will soon find themselves in an
extremely critical position. should they
succeed in the advance into Macedonia,
the army will insist upon following.
Should they fail tnen their defsat must
be avenged.
I'm. DeIyannis, however, clearly sx-
plained to me today that If the Hetairia
had not undertaken to cut she Gordian
knot. the governments would have been
obliged to take decisive steps within q
few days. Grssoe, he added, In the
present state of her hnanse could not
maintain an army of 80. 900 men under
arms any length Of time without
enormous sacrifices, SO that If there Is to
be lighting 1t must come Immediately.
"The government forewarned by the
Armenian mnssacres has been saving
gold for the last two years. and up to
this point has not bsen compelled to have
recourse 10 the money market. The rate
Of exchange, therefore, has not risen and
there is no intention of increasing tue
amount Of forced currency. Nevertheless,
additional funds must be provided imme-
diatcly and AN international loan Is pro-
posed. 1t will probably bs covered. The
government has no news from the
frontier of later date than yesterday eve
ming and the inference from this is that

The waterworks system in the Capt
toll park at Madison has been com
pleted and the capitol building now
has ample protection from fire. -Four
four-inch pipes have been put in the
building, three Of them extending
through the roof, and twenty
places to connect hose have been pro-
vidcd. Connection with the city sys-
tenn is made for fire protection, and
the water from the university will be
used for sprnkling.

FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

The question of water works for
Mineral Point was decided by II vote
of our citizens on Tuesday.
The vote stood 2l2 for, and 2l0
against.
The Democrat is glad that the ques-
toned carried; and while it has no
fault TO find with those Of the OPPOSE
ton who acted according to their
convictions in regard to the matter, it
would have greatly regretted the fact
had the proposition to secure fire pro-
lection for the city been voted down.
We believe that when the plant is
put in, and Is in working order, no
argument will be needed to convince
the people that the movement was IN
the right direction.
il is true that the amount TO be cX-
pended ut present for water works
not more than $5, 600 Is not sufficient
IL also true that the system provides
for future extensions, and the plant
will be constructed with such extern
sions in view.
Tho city stands in dire need Of pro-
lection against fires, and that the con
contemplated water works will, when
secured, afford such protection, in n
large measure, to property in all
parts of the city, no one will deny.
Tuesdays action IL only n step in
the right directions: but it indicates
that We intend to keep abreast with
our neiGhboring villages and cities in
the march of progress.
The slight increase in taxes; ON ne
count of water works, will be more
than offset by the increase IN the val
uo of property, and the lower rates OF
insurance, brought about by the con
struction of such waterworlis.
a large portion of the expense of
putting in The system will be borne by
High street property owners; but the
amount each property owner viii be
dallcd upon to pay will not be near SO
large as the amount added TO the
value Of their property by It's being
protected against fires.
The proposed sytcm, M we have
heretofore said IL no experiment, but
IL In use in more towns and cities
any other system. It's adoption here,
we believe, will In time be sanctioned
by all our citizens, and will prove to
be the beginning of great advance
in our city's history.

Another break in the ranks Of old
settlers was accustomed by the death
of this lady on Sunday morning,

to Wisconsin, crossed the sea when
Il young woman, and resided in this

upon this world and finally sank to
rest as screnely ms she had lived.
