WATER METERS FOR PIPz ORGANS

WAITER COMMISSIONERS RECEIVE
COMPLAINT OF POOR WAITER
SUPPLY FROM LOCAL FIRER1EN.
AT the meeting of the Water Depart
ment yesterday afternoon the commits
sioners' attention was called to the
small amount Of water that the fire.
men wer able to obtain at the Twee0
are yesterday morning
nc commissioners were unanimous
in their opinion that water ssrvics Tor
use at fles must be kept in the best
possible condition, and an investlga-
ton was ordered to ascertain IL there
was not some obstruction in the Plugs
which are on a large main. It is prob
able THAT larger water mains will be
laid in some sections OF the city, as
the present ones are entirely too small
to furnish a sufficient supply OF water
in many CASES.
Beginning with January the depart
ment will place msters on pipes lead

are used for pumping large pipe or
gans. The meters will measure the
water used for THE motors only, and
the other service will he charged at the
present rate. The department has made
SEVERAL tests concerning this matter
and find that. if anything, this plan
will tighten the walker rents Of the
churches, about twelve OF which are
using motors.
The application for a six-inch water
main at Eleventh and Monroe streets
made by the Equitable Land Company
was granted. The street beds are not
yet the property of the city, but they
have been condemned by a commission
and soon viii be secured by the Street
and Sewer Department. The balance
in bank is S1O2, 1896, and the weekly
payroll of 1851 was passed.

While on his way from New York to
Washington it would pay General Gar
cha Ito stop off in Wilmington and take
look at our Cuban junta It hasn't
spilled more than a barrel Of blond in
the cause OF Cuban freedom, but II
can point with pride to the number of
Indignation meetings held before the
declaration OF war. It is surprising TO
us that the membtrs OF this junta are
nit making arrangements to give Gar

be theirs, not his, and might serve to
reinstate these long-distance friends OF

Officer Maioney what kind of pl
the building WAS. The question y
put simply that good look at {
man might be obtained.
Stewart replied with an cath q

protected during the night, but to
him into custody later in the day.
AT the hearing this morning Maion

NEW REVENUE STAN PS
Bureau of Engraving and Printing Working
Night and Day.
The Difficulty Will BE i'm Getting the
Stamps Distributed by
July 1.

The bureau of engraving and printing
now has thre4 shifts of men and every
available press at work on the internal rev.
enUe war stamps. Secretary Gage has
given orders that not a minute is to be lost
and Chief Johnson is straining every point
TO get out the necessary stamps so that
they may be distributed before July 1. Mr.
Johnson today delivered to the treasury
between 100000 and 100000 stamps, turned
out since yesterday afternoon, when ur-
gent orders were given to get to work
From now until July millions of internal
revenue stamps for all purposes provided
by Congress will be turned out.
Rushing the Printing.
Yesterday Secretary Gage sent to Con-
gress a recommendation that the time for
beginning the operations of the stamp tax
be extended from July 1 TO July Is, as it
would be practically impossible to get the
stamps printed and put in circulation by
July 1. 1T was feared that business inter-
ests would suffer and business be seriously
checked by failure to get the stamps on
time.
The Senate committee on finance notified
Secretary Gage that it would not be well
to change the time. This caused renewed
activity.
Despite the fact that eyery minute of .be
day will be utilized in the printing of the
stamps, of which there are twelve distinct
varieties. containing twenty colors, there
is serious doubt whether the bureau of en-
craving and printing will be able to supply
the demand after July 1.
Distributing the Stamps
The most serious question with the Treas
ury Department, however is that Of get
ting the stamps distributed by the time
the law goes into effect. AS fast as possi-
BILE the stamps will be sent to collectors of
Internal revenue, who will send them TO
stamp deputies for sale The great trouble
is ttat there are few stamp deputies In
each state, and business men will hay.
trouble in getting what they want. There
is almost sure TO be delay and loss to bus
freSS.
The first consignment of stamps will be
sent TO the remote states. The states near
esl 10 Washington will be supplied last
1ne stamp tax provides for a tax of 2
cents on bank checks and other banking
end legal papers. The printed stamps
must be gotten to collectors of every state

WAR CLAIMS.
Damage Alleged to Have Been Done
During the War.


In the House in committee of the whole
yesterday Mr.. Mahon secured considera-
ton Of bill to send to the Court Of Claims
alleged claims for property of citizens
taken or destroyed by the confederate
troops in their several invasions into the
border counties of York, Adams, Cumber-
land, Franklin, Fulton. Bedford, Somer-
set and Perry, Pennsylvania. The object
Of the bill, it was pointed out, was merely
to secure decision from the courts, an
appeal to the Supreme Court being pro-
vided for, upon the questions of validity
of the claims and liability Of the govern
| ment therefor.
The bill precipitated lengthy debate
| many members, notably Messrs Moody Of
Massachusetts, Terry of Arkansas Cannon
of Illinois and Brown of Ohio opposing
and Mr.. Mahon and Mr.. Richardson of
Tennessee favoring it. Mr.. Richardson
supported it on the ground that every per-
son beleveing he has a claim against the
government should be given the privilege
| of having its validity determined and Mr.
Mahon, in addition to the foregoing, sup
ported the bill incidentally on the ground
| that the people in the counties named
should be recompensed quickly for losses
| incident to confederate invasions. The
home guards had been called in to protect
| the capital of the general government.
| thereby leaving Pennsylvania exposed to
| invasion, against which the government
had covenanted in the Constitution to pro-
| tect the states in return for their militia.
| The opponents of the bill candidy de-
clared their opposition upon the ground
| that the bill suggested Il proposition so
| monstrous as to deserve no consideration.
There is no legal claim, there is no
| equitable claim, there is no just claim,'
| detained Mr.. Cannon. and proceeding in
| line with Mr.. Moody, he declared the
| recognition of the principle advocated by
| Mr.. Mahon would lead to the filing and
| payment of claims from Maryland, Ken
| lucky, Ohio, Missouri and all other loyal
| entered
| Pending disposition of the measure, the
| committee rose, and at 4:43 D. m the
| House adjourned.
