from cutting off the water supply of.-the
big concern Copies Of the restraining or
der were served on the Street and Water
Commissioners early this morning.
The injunction was procured because
President Hauck of the Street ard Water
Board had notified the company that he
would cut off it's supply at noon today
unless balance of 81 GOO for water was
paid by that time. The company's action
will not take the case into court for set
lement The balance which the city
claims is due is ten per cent. of the COM
pany's bill, which has been withheld by
advice of w. d. Edwards. When the city
needed money very badly the Sugar
House was the first to respond, paying to
the city about s60,000
At that time the company maintained il
was being charged too much for its wa
ter. The company is charged 500 per
million gallons, but holds that $50 is all
IT should be asked IN view of the fact
that it is one of the city's largest cons
Suners-
Corporation Counsel McDermott will
sue the company for the balance of 81 600
as soon as the injunction proceedings are
disposed of.
President Hauck said today that he pro-
poses putting the screws on the small con-
sumers who are in arrears as soon as Inc
large consumers are gotten rid of.
Harrison was to have paid Its bill of

WAR LEGISLATION.


WASHINGTON. June 8. 1S9S-Soon af-
ter the Senate convened today, Mr.. Hale
(Me.), chairman Of the Naval Affairs
Committee, reported favorably bill to
organize hospital corps of the United
States Navy, to define its duties and reg
ulate its pay. The bill passed Under
the bill the pay of hospital stewards
shall be $50 month, hospital appren-
tices, first class, $50 month, and hos
pital apprentices, $40 month, with the
increase on account of length of SER
vice as is now, or may hereafter be al
lowed by law to other enlisted men in
the navy. The House provision that the
application of the act be limited to the
duration of the present war with Spain
was eliminated from the bill.
Mr.. Mason l(Ill.) reported from the
Committee on Postoff1ces and Post Roads
a bill extending the ranking privilege
through the malls to the officers and
men Of the army and navy during the
existing war, the privilege to extend only
to frst-class matter. each piece weighing
not more than one ounce.
Mr.. Platt (Conn.) regarded the meas
ure as very sweeping In its provisions
and while he desired, he said to extend
all proper privileges to American sol
diers and sailors, he could not let this
bill go through without exception. On
his objection, the measure went over.

relating to the war. The foreign repre-
sentatives have not even been advised OF
Spain's recent protest to the powers
against the alleged violation of inter-
national law by this country.
Secretary Day was the nrst caller 70
greet the President today. He spent about
half an hour with him On leaving ne
said there were NO important dispatches
and no developments In the war SITUATION
One story that was current during the
day at the White House was that Capeaan ,ssaa.
killed by a shell fired by the SpanlaIds
in the recent bombardment. The Presi-
dent was in consultation With Senaror
when he received press despatch TO that
effect. He promptly handed over the des-
patch to be read and remarked that 1t
was nonsense" and that there was no
Admiral Simpsons official despatch,
announcing no casualties. and said IT the
report was to be given credence he would
have been wired immediately.
Throughout the forenoon there was a
long line of callers. Practically all Of
them sought war appointments. Sena-
tors Lodge. Turpie. Frye. Fa1rbanlxs.
Platt, Thurston and White were among
the callers.
The President has signed the war meas
ure keeping life saving stations along
the Atlantic coast open throughout the
year.
In reference to repeated assertions that
William A. Pinkerton of Chicago had
been to Washington to con1er e. rfsrenl wftn 5ne
to spies in this country, it g authorita1
lively stated at the Treasury DeparIme1 1f
that Mr.. Pinkerton received no such call
as has been reported. He visited Wash
ington principally for the purpose, 1t IS
said, of assuring the various heads OF
departments that his agency was not en-
gagged in working for Spain.
The fact that his people had been en-
ployed to make investigations in connee-
ton with the filibustering expeditions be-
fore the present war broke out, and the
necessarily intimate relations that had
existed between the agency and the SPAN
ish representatives in this country, led
to a belief in some directions that he had
continued In Spanish employ after hos
tilities began. and 1t was for the pur--
pose of explaining the exact attitude Of
his agency and of expressing his loyalty
TO the Government, 1t is said, that Mr..
Pinkerton came to Washington.
The employment of the Pinkertons to
do any work in this connection, it is
said, has never been thought of, inasmuch
as its own secret service under the. di-
rection of Mr. Wilkie is doing excellent
work and, further. that there is legal
bar to such employment.
Secretary Alger has sent to the House a
request for an appropriation of $4,000 for
machinery. ETC., for the Springfield. Mass;
arsenal, for the manufacture OF spare
parts of rifles and carbines, now in the
hands of the troops. without interfering
with the present manufacture OF COM
plete rifles and carbines.

BRAVE JERSEY CITY BOYS.
Three March Away to Fight fol
Their Country.

The young men in the neighborhood of
York and Warren streets are all getting
the war craze and already three Of
them have enlisted in the Infantry and
one of them is already at Tampa, Flor
ida About four weeks ago William
Blakey, the oldest son of Samuel J. Bla-
key passed the necessary examination
at the recruiting station at No. AZ Mont
gomery street, and was taken to New
York to the headquarters at Ninth street
and Third avenue, where he was given a
furlough to come to Jersey City and bid
his parents farewell.
He had no sooner informed them OF
what he had done when his oldest sister,
Maggie, and her cousin went over to
New York and told the officer in charge
of the recruiting station that Blakey was
under age and did not have his parents
consent to enlist. The lad was taken
home by his big sister
When Mr. and Mrs. Blakey heard what
their daughter had done they upbraided
her. They are very proud of their sons
desire to serve his country and yesterday
morning Mrs. Blakey went with him to
the recruiting office in New York and
gave her consent to his enlistment.
Clifford Garrison of Barrow street,
went to enlist at the instigation of his
friend, Walter Miller. When the Ser
geant asked the two boys if they were
ready to go to New York, Miller said he
wanted to go home and bid his parents
farewell He went away, leaving Gar
rison to go into the army Garrison
stuck to it. however, and on Saturday
night started for Tampa. His Jersey City
friends were at the Pennsylvania Rail-
road station as he passed through and
gave him a great send off.
Another young man, named John Smith,
ehum of Blakey and Garrison, enlisted
yesterday morning and the three young
men are being praised by their friends
all over town for their bravery. They
seem to scorn Miller for the part he has
taken The boys in the neighborhood of
the Academy of Music intend to give
Blakey and Smith a grand reception
when they pass through this city on
their way to the scene of the battle.

NO WATER CONTRACT TODAY
Street and Water Board
Doesn't Know What the
Mayor Will Do.

The Street and Water Commissioners
will not award water contract at this
afternoons meeting. Commissioners Bolt
wood and Heintze are just as firm as ever
in their support of the Rockaway and
Hudson proposition. President Hauck and
Commissioner Nolan are determined to
award to Flynn, and Commissioner Smith
is on the fence. He favors rejection or
the pending proposals, but it is possible
that he may at the last moment be won
over to the side of Hauck and Nolan.
An award might have been made today
but for the fact that the Finance Com
missioners could not be found by Presi-
dent Hauck. If Finance Commissioners
Bailey, Heppenheimer and Midlige say
they will concur in an award to Flynn
the Street and Water Commissioners will
accept Flynn's 35. 100000 gallon plant for
Sc, S45, 900. Robert Davis is still absent from
the city. He is expected to return on
Friday The action of the Street and
Water Board i'll future will depend upon
the advice of Mr.. Davis. The fact that
Mayor Hoos has come out for the Rock
away bid has disturbed the Finance Com
missioners who do not care to go ahead
until assured that the Mayor will ap-
prove their action.
At present nothing can be expected from
the Street and Water Board save an
award to Flynn. If Flynn does not get
the contract all the bids will be thrown
out and new proposals called for. Finance
Commissioner Midlige was with Mayor
Hoos for more than an hour today. The
water problem was discussed. Mr.. Midlige
spoke favorably of the Flynn $6.345 900
plan. Efforts to draw the Mayor out were
of no avail. Mr.. Midlige tried his hand at
it twice and finally gave up in despair.
Engineer Vermeule was the Mayors next
visitor. What Mayor Hoos said to Mr.
Vermeule is not known. After leaving
the Mayor Engineer Vermeule had long,
serious talk with President Hauck.
The officials are worried They are
more convinced than ever that Mayor
Hoos is an uncertain quantity. Commis-
sioners Heintze and Boltwood declare that
they have positive Information that Hts
Honor will not approve an award to
Flynn. Their confidence disturbs their
colleagues.
