A SUGGESTION TO COUNSEL.

There wifi be no extension of tffe=eefi-
tract existing between the Watchemo-
ket fire district and the city of Paw

the latter with water. The decision of

demurrer is that the demurrer must be
overruled and the temporary injunction
heretofore granted is made permanent.
The opinion in the case, which is writ
ten by Chief Justice Matteson, seems
to throw doubt on the power OF the city
council or board of aldermen of Paw
tucket TO make any contract with the
Watchemoket fire district for supply
ing the latter with water

Inc DldlntlH CODtenOeu lndt the pIO-
posed contract was ultra wires; hrst,
because it provides that the city shall
furnish water directly TO the inhabit-
ants OF the fire district instead of to the
district itself; second, because IL pro-
vides that the city, and not the fire dis
trict, shall regulate the rates 10 be
charged for water furnished, and, third,
because IL delegates to the city the
power TO establish rules and regula-
tions as to the mode OF using the water,
which the eharter-of the district re-
serves to the district.
Concerning these contentious the
court says they must be sustained, as
. the only authority which the city has
TO supply water to the fire district Is
contained in the act Incorporating the
district, passed June 13. 1873. and the
scheme of which act is that the district
itself as a corporate body, should re-
ceive the water under any agreement
which IL should make, and should itself
regulate both it's use and the price to
be paid for such use, while the scheme
OF the agreement is that the city of
Pawtucket shall furnish the water, not
to the district itself. but TO It's in
habitants. charging TO and collecting
from them water rents for the use OF
the water at the same rates as charged
to it's own Inhabitants.
THE agreement. in effect" the opin-
ion states, delegates the powers which
are conferred upon the district by the
act to the city. and thus substitutes. in
place of the district, the city OF Paw
tucket to furnish water to the inhabit-
ants of the district and regulate its use
and the price to be paid therefor within
the district. We think that 1t Is clear,
therefore, that the act and the agree
ment are inconsistent, and hence. as the
only authority which the parties have
10 contract is found in the act. that
the proposed agreement is. AS contended
by the complainants, ultra wires and
void.

Washington, April 9.-Today brought no change in the Spanish situation and save for unconfrmed reports that the queen re- gent of Spain was about to issue decree of armistice, was the most uneventful since the present crisis began, and opinion has almost settled into conviction that hos tilities must certainly follow very soon.
 That an armistice would change the sit- uation is regarded as now improbable There is no doubt that the Spanish govern ment is seriously considering the granting of a complete armistce and ample relief to to reconcentrados with such relief cooper ation from this government as they see fit to extend The situation has been pending for the last four days. being vigorously urged by one element in the ministry and sfiercely resisted by another element. Some of the continental powers have cast their influences in behalf of the armistice, but an actual decision by the ministry, on the is suance of a decree had not resulted as far as known here When the officials of the state department left at o'clock they had received no notification that armistice was determined upon or was near at hand The Spanish minister was equally without infor- nation.
