OFFICIALS PLEASED.
President Smith Says That
Contractors Can Now Go
On With Work.

The city officials, those at least who
had anything to do with the award Of
the contract for a new water supply, re-
ceived the news Of the defeat of the APP
plication for writ of certiorari with un-
feigned pleasure. To all it is source of
relief that at last the vexed water ques-
ton is settled.
Mayor Hoos remarked that he was
pleased the matter was in such shape
that the work of construction could pro-
ceed.
Colonel r. q. Smith, president Of the
Street and Water Board was equally
gratified at the decision. All thought the
proceedings of the water question, from
the advertisement for bids to the consid-
GRAFTON of the Flynn offer and the ex-
animation of the shed from which the
supply comes, Colonel Smith has taken
deep interest in the subject.
Il am glad it IS all over and the con-
tractor can go ahead with the building
of the reservoirs without any further de-
lay or interruption. Our Board gave
great attention to the Flynn bid and we
had innumerable consultation on the
whole subject with competent men We
acted for the interests of the city and
naturally feel gratified that, after the
tests in the Supreme Court that body
has upheld the contract against the criti-
cfsms of others

THINKS II IS WAR


SEATTLE, Wash. Aug. 3d. 1893. David
L. Wilson. who claims to be an agent of
the British government. and to have i'm
portant papers for the home official, has
arrived here en- route to London from the
Transyaal. Mr. Wilson says he has no
doubt that there viii be war.
Il have been three years in the Trans
vaal and know the leaders of the Boer
government we'll President Kruker does
not want war. He is now an old man.
As such he has not the control of the
cabinet that he had once. The cabinet

pendence and who, may say will never
give up until they have either attained
it or been wiped out of existence by the
English forces. This Is why ] say there

THE GOLD RESERVE TRUST.
Comptroller of the Currency Thinks
Congress Will Pay Tho Bill.

CHICAGO, Allg. so, 1S99.-Comptroller of
the Currency Charles G. Dawes, who was
in Chicago today, said:
TT is my opinion that Congress at the
next session will pass the House eau
Gus bill now in the hands of the Senate
Finance Committee, which embodies the
Presidents recommendations on gold
reserve fund. tJnder this bill from s125,-
100000 to $780, OeO, 600 in gold will be set
aside as fund for the redemption of
greenbaelks. The effect of this will be to
place about s1s5, O00, 900 between us and the
danger Of trouble.
1t amounts to putting the currency of
the country ma gold basis and cannot
be construed any other way. 1t is not
a contraction OF the currency or retire
ment OF greenhack, as some Democrats
argue, because, for every greenback turn
ed into the treasury an equivalent in gold
is issued and put IN circulation.
"The condition OF the banks the coun-
try over is more prosperous than 1t ever
has been and practically | the west and
south. This is due to good crops which
have resulted hi the liquidation of many
farm debts and to the general prosperity

Engineers Say There is Enough
Water for Manhattan and Bronx

NEW YORK. Aug 80 1Sss.-At the
meeting of the Board Of Public Improve
ment today, Controller Color presented a
report on the Ramapo water question en-
bodying his own views, and three reports
from engineers who he had engaged to
examine the condition Of the city's wa
ter supply, and the ability of the Ramapo
Water Company to fulfill the conditions
of the proposed contract.
The three engineers who made reports
were James r. Croes of the Arneri-
can Society of Civil Engineers; Eugene
e. Mclean. the Chief Engineer of the
Finance Department. and George s. Rice
The reports agree that there is suf1i-
cheney of water for Manhattan and the
Bronx until 1915. that the Long Island
and Croton systems should first be in
vestigated before a contract is entered
into with an outside company, that the
Ramapo Company would be unable to
fulfil the terms Of the proposed contract
and that. if 1t did, the supply Of water
furnished would be more than necessary
