SOME ENGLISH VIEWS.

London, January 29-The morning
papers comment upon President Nc
Kinley's speech at the banquet Of the
National Association Of Manufacturers
Thursday evening. characterizing it as
Impressive and high sounding, but
vague and on-committal," and as
''giving little hope of bold stand
against the silverites."
The Morning Post says:
The speech was evidently intended
to mark the line of battle in the COM
ing Congressional election. Every one
interested III American property will
rejoice if the Republicans frankly
ADOPT the policy suggested.

STOPPED THE FIGHT.

Philadelphia, Pa, January Is
mysterious" Billy Smith and Charlie
Johnson met at the arena tonight in
what was programmed as a six round
bout. Before a minute Of the first
round had elapsed the affair was stop
ped by the referee, assisted by the po-
lice. In that time Smith had cross
buttocked" his opponent, hit him
while he was lying on his back and
then kicked him in the side. In the
first clinch Smith repeatedly fouled
his man. He was then summarily
elected from the ring and afterwards
from the premises.

EAST JERSEY
Street and Water Board
Decides to Put Meters at
Belleville.

The Street and Water Board Commis-
sioners, at their meeting yesterday after
noon, decided to meter the supply of wa
ter received daily from the East Jersey
Water Company. Hitherto the city has
been taking the figures from the com
pany's meters. The Board ordered three
of the meters, and their total cost, with
fittings complete, will be about $4,000.
The Commissioners, in arriving at the
decision to meter the city's water supply
have simply in mind the business principle
of checking goods received. They do not.
of course, mean to imply in the slightest
degree that the figures hitherto given by
the East Jersey Water Company were
purposely misread, bur meter readers are
but human and are liable to err. The
situation was explained by one of the
Commissioners thus
you know we pay the East Jersey Wa
ter Company a large sum of money quar-
terly per month for water from their
Pequanneck shed. Now they read their
meters and charge US with the amount,
and we have no means Of checking their
bill. They might easily make a mistake
and we would have no opportunity to dis
cover it. In view of this state of things
we think the city should know precisely
what water it is receiving, and to do tnae
we must put in meters
The meters will be placed on three
pipes running into the main at Belleyille.
