important resolutions yesterday bearing
on the war with Spain. The resolutions
approve of the war and offer to the Gov

They encourage the enlistment of Jewish
soldiers in the army, and view with satis-
faction the large number of Jews who
have already enlisted. The rabbits offer
to furrish religious literature, with the
assistance Of Government. to the Hes
brews In the field. The resolutions re-
quest the President to appoint at least
two Jewish chaplains-at-large to look af-
ter the welfare Of Jewish soldiers. y

extravaganza.
Sd far as they go, the explanations are
fair enough: but in their sum total they
do not show why the Board spent al
the money it did. The main argument
Il that over half the Budget consists OF

no control. Its responsibility for extrav-
agance or credit for economy IS there-

AMERICAN WOMEN
Characteristic Scenes on the
Departure of the First
New York.

More han usual interest is attached to
the departure of the First New York
Regiment of Volunteers, which passed
through this city on its way to the Philip
pine Islands, as told in yesterdays Ter
sey City News The First IS d provision
al regiment, made UP Of companies from
various cities and towns in the interior of
New York State. There were between sew
en- hundred and a thousand people gath
cred in the big yards to see the brave
boys in blue off on their long Journey.
A large percentage Of these people came
from these interior towns Of the Empire
State TO bid perhaps a last farewell to
brave, patriotic loved ones, whom per-
haps they may never see again. An or
binary observer could see that the general
make up Of the regiment was not that of
city bred men. Handsome, stalwart
youths, many of them were, but the tilt
Of their army campaign hats, the general
swagge Of the hamlet dude was notice
able.
At least onp-half wore the old dirt and
grass-stained uniforms Of the New York's
National Guardsmen, in which they have
been knocking about in camp and at vari-
Gus forts since their enlistment. The new
uniforms, furnished by the National Gov
nme were packed neatly on their
backs and reserved as the frugal Ameri-
can farmer or townsman is wont to do
with his best 'bib-and-tucker'' for Sun
day or special occasions, when he is at
home. In the eyes of all glowed the light
of health and patriotism. Another char
acteristic of the event was the presence
Of many gray-haired. sober-faced women,
evidently the mothers of many OF these
brave boys. Then, too. there was a large
number Of really handsome, buxonl,
neatly dressed young women, who were
evidently struggling to look brave under
the circumstances, but whose smile died
out as the train sections, one after an
other, pulled out from the yards. AS they
turned from the yards their eyes were
Dewey.
1t is said thai quite a number of them
were the recently made wives of some of
the soldiers who married after enlistment.
The train of cars which was occupied
by The regiment was in four sections.
Of ten cars each. The officers travelled
in Pullman sleepers. and the men in tour
list sleepers. The crowds in the yard
scheered the soldiers as they pulled out
from the yards. The Henderson, Grove
and Erie street, Jersey avenue, Coles,
Monmouth and Brunswick street cross
ings were lined with patriotic citizens who
also cheered the boys in blue as they
swept through the lower section OF the
city. The soldiers carried igh days
cot. These were dogs, goats, an owl and
other nets.

The Water Specifications.

The hitch over the water specifications
yesterday was very painful in its effect
on the public mind, and it is fortunate
that the Board quickly recovered itself
took definite action. This water cues
tion is going to figure as the principal is
democratic party forced it to the front
in the contest in which Mayor Hoos was
elected. Besides reproaching the Repub-
]ican administration for incompetency, If
not corruption, it committed itself to def
mite promises on the subject. In repeated
speeches, Mayor Hoos guaranteed that he
would see to it that the water problem
was solved, economically and permanent
ly, but above all promptly. The Street
and Water Commissioners now in the
Board have, one and all, when candidates,
given similar pledges.
Now Mayor Hoos' term is well N to-
wards its completion. Two Democratic
Street and Water Commissioners go out
of office with him, next May. The election
for SUCCESSORS for all, and for Mr.. Midlige
as President of the Board of Aldermen
and member of the Board of Finance, will
take place in the early part of April. In
that contest. which win be waged in
March, 1899, just eight months from now,
the water question win be the one upon
which, above all others, the Republican
agitators will dwell. If the Democratic
party has to come before the people again
with more promises and nothing done, we
feel very certain it will nave an uphill
road to travel.
The specifications now adopted appear
to be very good ones. The faults in these
instruments are generally pointed out
only after the mischief is done; but at
any rate a number of the old and ascer-
tanned faults of former prospectuses have
been eliminated. The strongest positive
merit is that all the bidding is to be for
one thing. There is no Plan A. B or c
Mnonsense. The nature of that one thing
seems to be pretty definitely set forth,
besides. Thus something like a real COM
petition may be expected, and common
eense views may be formed as to com
parative merit and c~heapness among the
bids. This will simplify the process sof
award, and will make the operations OF
the certlorari gang more difficult whensa
contractfs given out. On the whole, there

further the plans for the annual feast,

CURED in order to produce some of the
large events.
A feature of his years fest will be the
aquatic sports. This part of the pro-
gramme has not vet been perfected, but
from the descriptions given by some of
1.-THE members. that part of the sports is
sure to be successful. There will be boat
races and fencing in boats. prizes being
awarded to the winners. In addition to
this there will be shooting for medals,
and bowling for cash prizes. In all the
S-chwabenfest of the year promises to
eclipse any former events.
