Prof. HawOrth's Report.

Prof. Erasmus Haworth of Law
renee, state geOlOgist, has submitted
an exhaustive review of his investiga.
tiOns and conditions bearing upon the
possibility Of a water supply for the
city Of Wellington. The report COW
ers twenty-one pages, typewriter. 1t
bears mainly upon the three most
vital points of interest to Wellington:
First, an adequate water supply;
second, desirable quality Of the water
to be obtained; third, the cost Of OBJ
tanning the supply.
The professor in his Introductory
remarks, states that If water Of a
desirable quality can be found In an
available locality it will be useless,
manifestly, to invest money for pro.
curing the water unless the supply is
adequate for all demands made upon
1t by the consumers in the driest sea-
sons. This point is Of great impor-
lance to Wellington. Again, it would
be mistake to invest money If the
quality Of water is undesirable even
be the supply ever so good. Although
the cost Of obtaining water is Of great
Importance, it must be confessed that
1t is subordinate in Importance to the
question Of supply and quality. Cities
must have water or they cannot long
exist as cities; it is a question of life
or death with them.
Prof, HawOrth thoroughly describes
the geologic conditions of yelling ton
and vicinity, proving conclusively
that it would be the height of folly
for the city to attempt to procure a
good and lasting supply Of water
nearer than eight or twelve miles Of
Wellington on the upland. He thinks
the Minnesota river valley at Zyba
contains sufficient water to supply
Wellington through the driest seasons.
The quality Of water obtained at
that place, Prof. Haworth says, is all
that could be desired. The water
there is pure, clear, cold and 10 un-
limited quantities.
OF the feasibility Of securing the
supply from this point, Prof. Haworth
is In no doubt whatever. The dis.
lance from Wellington to the Mime
scah valley where the wells would be
sunk (fOr the professor thinks wells

While Only Three Republicans Voted
Against the Administration Meas
ure-The Populist and Fusion Vote
Was About Equally Divided.
Washington, June 16.-By a vote of
2Oe to 81 the house of representatives
yesterday afternoon adopted the New
lands resolution providing for the an
nexation of Hawaii. The debate, which
has continued without interruption
since Saturday, has been one of the
most notable of this congress, the pro-
posed annexation being considered of
great commercial and strategic i'm
portance by its advocates and being
looked upon by its opponents as in
yolving a radical departure from the
long established policy of this country,
and likely to be followed by the in
auguration Of pronounced policy of
colonization, the abandonment Of the
Monroe doctrine and participation in
international wrangles. More than
half hundred members participated in
the debate.
From party standpoint the result
was awaited with the keenest interest.
The Republicans presented practically
a unanimous support to the resolu-
tons. but three Republican members
voting in opposition. In the Demo-
cratic ranks the division upon the ques-
ton was more marked, Is Democrats
voting for annexation. The vote in
support of the resolutions was made up
Of 179 Republicans, IS Democrats, 8
Popullsts and fusionists. The vote
against annexation comprised II DEM
ocrats, Republicans, Populists and
I fusionists.
Yesterdays session began at 10
o'clock, and the debate continued seven
hours. Few members were upon the
floor until late in the afternoon, and the
galleries had few occupants. AS the hour
for voting drew near, however. mem
bers began taking their places, and
there were few more than a score of
absentees when the first roll call was
taken. The announcement of the vote
upon the passage of the resolutions
was cheered upon the floor and APP
plauded generally by the spectators.
The resolutions adopted, in a pream-
BILE, relate the offer of the Hawaiian re-
public to cede all of its sovereignty and
absolute title to the government and
crown lands, and then by resolution ac-
cept the cession, and declare the ISL
ands annexed. The resolutions provide
for commission of five, at least two of
whom shall be resident Hawaiians, to
recommend to congress such legislation
as they may deem advisable. The pub
lie debt of Hawaii, not to exceed $4,- |
0Oo,CCO, Is assumed, Chinese immigra-
ton is prohibited. all treaties with other |
powers are declared null, and it Is pro-
v.ded that until congress shall provide
for the government of the islands, all
civil, judicial and military powers now
exercised by the officers of the existing
government shall be exercised in such
manner as the president shall direct,
and he is given power to appoint per-
sons to put in effect provisional gov
eminent for the islands.

VOLUNTEERS FIGHT REGULARS.

The Former Object to Criticism Re-
garding Their Military Training.
Hampton, Va. June ia fight in
which 100 regulars from Fort Monroe
and as many Maryland troops stationed
at Old Point participated took place
between II and - o'clock Tuesday night
at Phoebus, suburban town a mile
below this city. Several of the Mary
land men were painfully injured, but
no one was dangerously hurt. The
regulars assembled near a saloon
shortly before II o'clock, and half an
hour later were attacked by the volun-
teers, who threw stones and other mis-
siles at the house The regulars re-
piled by hurting empty beer bottles
through the windows. The attacking
party was finally driven off, but the
fighting was renewed later, and num-
Der Of men were hit by stones and
beer bottles. The police were power
less. A detachment of volunteers
finally appeared and put the bellig-
erents to fight. The trouble was the
outcome of uncomplimentary remarks
concerning the military training of
the Maryland men. Seventy five men
were sent to the guard house.
