The electric light and water-works
plant is now nearly completed. and with
the exception of the stand-pipe has been
tested to the entire satisfaction OF
the engineer, MIR. Burton j. Ashley
Of Chicago, Ills, under whose
personal supervision it has been con-
structed. When finished Wellington will
have one Of the most complete and eco
nomical systems in existence, and at the
lowest possible cost, which reflects great
credit on the mayor, council and the en-
gineer, who by their persistent and un-
tiring labors have brought about such
splendid results.
The machinery and equipments are q

length OF stroke being 20 inches and the
piston head IA Inches. The circumfer-
ence Of the large pulley is 26 feet and
1915 inches. The engine weighs over
six tons and rests on foundation cover
ing 260 SO. feet Of bed surface and is I
feet deep made of brick laid in hydraulic
cement. The engine is capable Of deliv-
ering $50 horse power.
Arc Light Dynamo.
This machine Is a direct current ma
chine capable Of operating 60 arc lamps
Of 1000 candle power each, and requires
about 40 horse power to operate it when
running full load.
AlternatOr.
This machine will operate 1000 16 can,
die power lamps at one time, but can or
diDaTily accommodate from 1900 to 150(
lamps, as it is not at all probable that
the whole installation would be burning
at one time. The machine forces pres
sure Of 1000 volts, but the current is con.
vert0d down to 100 volts by means Of
transformers before entering the build
ings to which it supplies current fol
lighting.
The current from both machines is
controlled by the various instruments
and appliances attached to the marble
switchboard.
Distribution System.
The water mains are made of soft cast
iron from the ores of Tennessee, are sub
jected to tests of 400 lbs. pressure to the
square inch at the foundry and to a
pressure of $50 pounds after having been
laid in the trenches. There are As doub-
lie nozzle fire hydrants, each nozzle hay
ing a two and half-inch opening.

Steam Fittings.

With regard to this part OF the work
the convenience can only be appreciated
by the'engineer who operates the plant.
The combinations therein contained are
numerous and ample for the various en-
ergencies that are likely to arise and
too complex to be satisfactorily de-
scribed in words.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-10-05

The test on the mains for breakage and
leakage was made at the plant was made
at the plant on Tuesday evening under
the direction Of the engineer, with re-
markable result Of but four revolutions of
the pump in ten minutes, the guage
registering from 145 to 165 pounds. The
mains were afterwards shut off and the
pump itself given the same pressure,
with result of three and One-half reyO-
lutiOns of the engine in the same time.
This would show but one and one-half
revolutions due to shrinkage in the
mains in ten minutes, giving due allow
ance for possible waste at the hydrants
by reason of their valves not being closed
sufficiently tight.
The engineer has so much as indicated
that he would use this result as a stand
ard in the writing Of his future specih-
cations for such work, the test being SC
satisfactory.
Steam Pumping Engine.
This machine is automatically governed
to operate with any pressure desired, is
capable Of pumping 100000 gallons
per day and supplying water for fire
purposes by operating as many as foul
one-inch nozzels at the same time. Will
one hundred pounds steam pressure IL
the boilers, the pump is capable Of oper
ating against pressure of one hundred
and fifty pounds. The five streams tha
were thrown Thursday afternoon during
the exhibition and test on the squar,
were produced by a working pressure o
ninety pounds at the pump. The heigh
attained by the smaller streams was ap
prOximately eighty-fve feet. Th
greatest distance water fell from nozzle
was about one hundred and fifty feet.
Standpipe.
The standplpe is made OF the bes
'Flange" steel which is only one grad
below 'FirebOx steel, the best made, an
has tensile or pulling strength of &C
600 pounds per square inch and yet sui
ficiently soft that the one half inc
plate could be bent fat on itself withOu
showing any fracture on the bent poi
tion. When full of water it will pre-
duce pressure on the mains Of abOu
! 45 lbs. and will be amply sufficient t
handle nine-tenths Of the fires. In cas-
Of disastrous fires the standpipe can b
cut off and the pressure put on direc
from the pump.

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1898-04-22

The US. Senate wanted to reCOg,
nize the Cuban government against
the advice of President Mckinley,
and also that of Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee. who had just returned
from Cuba, and claims that that the
insurgents have practically no gov
eminent to recognize, and in fact,
are at present incapable of self gov
eminent. The House of Representa-
tives stood loyalty by the president,
and in SO doing, certainly showed
rare judgment. That there is an
open rebellion in Cuba, which has
been in progress for more than three
years, no one denies, but the idea of
recognizing government where
none exists seems to be mere folly,
besides it is contrary to the unwrit-
ten laws of nations, and were we to
dip in and get too gay in this mat
ter we might lose some of the res
pect as well as friendship of neutral
nations who do not like to
see such a precedent established.
Thousands of the people are starving
in Cuba, and the U. S. is simply in
tervening in their behalf as a matter
of mercy, and it is little difference
so us what kind of a government the
Cubans have SO long as they have
decent treatment. The lower house
deserves great credit for standing
for what was rights as against the
notriety-seeking Senate. President
Mckinley is all right and the reas-
enable men of all political parties
are admitting it.

that will kick; in fact there has al
ways been an element among the
better class of members of each party
who believe that there should be
some we'll defined principle on
which to base a political party as
we'll as the spoils of office; these
fellows have been asserting their
rights from time to time, but have
never been able to cut much ice.
Yet the sentiment is growing in both
parties and is making a whole lot of
independent voters, and this year, if
a combination of the pops and denis
(and of course there will beg there
will be a much larger falling away
from the coalition than ever before.
The pops who still insist that there
are some wrongs in the government
which should be righted by legisla-
ton also insist that their demands
can never be met until they cut
loose from all the unholy alliances
and launch boldly out for themselves;
many insist that the pop party can
never be party of any national i'm
p, rtance as long as it is playing sec
ond fiddle to the defunct democratic
party, while others kick on going in
partnership with corpse on any
terms. And so it goes, The facts
are that these two political parties
have done business together about
as long as they can, and as each us
busy accusing the other of all kinds
of meanness, we may look for some
fun when the office-holders and of
ice-seekers get together on a combi-
nation ticket this fall.

President Mckinley yesterday
signed the joint resolution passed by
both houses of Congress in behalf of
the Cubans; he at once cabled the
Spanish government to Withdraw
her troops from Cuba and gave her
till tomorrow to comply. No one
thinks that she will do so, and the
chances are that before Monday

ba with reference to enforcing the

"The republican politicians of
Kansas are having lively time now
trying to settle upon a nominee for
governor. 1t may not sound very
fusionistic to the averagespie hunter,
but 1t is the solemn wish of this
modest newspaper that good, clean
man may be selected by the republi-
cans, and the ignorant old brute
who now occupies the place, which
ought to be one of dignity, sent TO
the stable. If the populists of the
state had the manhood of ten-year
old Arkansas boy they would see to
it that Mr.. Leedy and his entire
gang of pap suckers were turned
down in their state convention, and
the good name of their party, if
there be any of it left, thus saved;
but the populists of Kansas are out
of print and will not run their own
convention when il meets except as
Leedy and his democratic allies sug-
gest."

EXCURSIONS,

The Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company has a delightful trip scheduled
for those who want to spend the coming
Sunday away from the city-a trip by day
light to Fortress Monroe and Norfolk
Those who have never taken the daylight
sail from Washington to the mouth of the
Potomac and from there down Chesapeake
bay to Norfolk cannot imagine what a
thoroughly enjoyable outing this is. The
ride, although long one, is never tiresome
for the scenery along the entire river is
very beautiful, and the boats are so COM
Portable, with their easy chairs, handsome
ly furnished saloons and coy state rooms
that every one enjoys every moment of the
trip. Excellent meals are served on board
which will doubtless be enjoyed by all who
go, and whose appetites will be doubly
sharpened by the sail in the bracy, salty
air. Steamer Washington will leave 7th
street wharf at o'clock Sunday morning
and arrive at Fortress Monroe and Norfolk
the same evening. Passengers may return
on the night steamer, leaving Fortress
Monroe at 6:45 pm, and reach here early
Monday morning. Or they may remain over
night at Old Point and take the steamer
Washington for the daylight trip to this
city on Monday.

NEW RAILWAY CHARTERED.
President Approves Bill for East
Washington Heights Company.

President Approves Bill for East
Washington Heights Company.
The bill creating the East Washington
Heights Railroad Company has received
the signature of the President and is there
fore now a law. 1t is the purpose Of those
named as incorpcrators. at as early date
as convenient, to organize the company by
the election of officers. 1t is the evident
facilities for that section of the suburbs be-
yond the eastern branch which lies prac-
tically on each side Of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. extended
Under the terms of the law the new road
is to start from the western end of the
bridge over the Eastern branch, on the line
of Pennsylvania avenue. The company is
not given authority to use the present
Pennsylvania avenue bridge, but is author
lied to build a bridge or trestle over the
branch at one side of the present struc
ture ard according to plans approved by
the Secretary of War. The new company
is authorized, having thus effected a cross
ing of the branch, to lay its tracks through
the subdivision known as Pennsylvania
Avenue Heights and on to the bounds of
the District, with lines extending north and
south, one to the subdivision known as
East Washington Heights and the other to
the settlement of Good Hope.
1t is required that the road be equipped
with what is known as the double trolley
and that no pole or dynamo be connected
with the earth, this requirement being
made for the purpose of preventing the
current from being distributed through the
earth. The work of constructing the road
is to be begun within one year from the
passage of the act, and is to be completed
in two years from the same date. The is
sue of stock and bonds is not to exceed m
the aggregate the cost of right of way
construction and equipment.

Congress Heights Association Grateful
to National Legislators.

At meeting last evening of the Con-
gress Heights Citizens Association resolu-
tions were adopted by an unanimous vote
thanking Representative Babcock, chair
man of the House District committee. for
the many evidences given by him during
the present and past Congresses of an
earnest desire on his part to secure needed
legislation for the welfare of the people of
the southeastern part of the District One
Of the speakers said that on a recent occa-
sion, when bill of interest to the District
tee, 1t was found to be inconvenient to have
a meeting Of the committee. Mr. Babcock
had poll taken Of the views of the mem
bers thereon, and finding the majority in
favor of the bill reported it to the House,
by which 1t was later passed, and it is
now pending in the Senate.
Mention having been made that Mr.
Richardson Of Tennessee and Senator Nc
MILAN were always alive to the welfare of
the people of Washington, resolutions
thanking them also for their interest and
aid were adopted.
memorial to Senator Mcmillan, as chair
man of the Senate District committee, was
adopted, urging the Importance of the pass
ing by the Senate of some bills affecting the
District which have passed the House. and
are now before the Senate committee One
of the most important of these is d bill to
permit the running of rapid transit cars
between Congress Heights and the busi-
ness portion of the city, SO that passen-
gers can travel between those points with
out having to transfer at the navy yard
gate.
