COLLAPSE OF A WATER TANK.
Eighty Thousand Gallons Spilled
Into the street.

New York, Jan. Am immense water
tank, made of seasoned planks and bound
with iron bands, on a platform fifty-feet
high, of the elevated railroad structure in
the yard at One Hundred and Forty sixth
Street and Eighth Avenue, burst about 6
o o'clock this morning.
Three men narrowly escaped drowning
and girl of fourteen years was almost
drowned and seriously injured. She is Kate
McShane, of No. 275S Eighth Avenue.
At the southeast corner of One Hundred
and Forty-sixth Street and Eighth Ave-
nue. is the yard OF the elevated road. The
two tanks we're on a strong platform, each
twenty eight feet high and eighteen feet
wide, and each filled with 10000 gallons
OF water. They were covered with roof
them.
Just before o'clock people in the neigh
borhood and some distance away heard a
peculiar whirring noise. very loud, and fol-
lowed several minutes later by a sound as
of a tremendous explosion. They at once
jumped to the conclusion that there had
been a head-on collision and boiler ex-
plosion.
Directly opposite the platform on which
the tanks stood is the hotel of Martin Wolf
where he lives with his wife and two chill
dren. He and his wife were awakened by
the first unusual sounds and listened until
the great noise came. Then the water was
dashed against the hotel, coming up to the
windows in great volume, but not break
ing them. When it fell back a lot of
debris was left about.

Representative James Hamilton Lewis.
Nho returned 10 Washington yesterday.
has lost no time in plunging into The thick
of the fray.
Yesterday he introduced a joint resolu-
ton which assumed that an investigation
into the army beef scandal would be made
by Congress, and directed the committee
of the House which shall, by appointment,
inquire into the War Department, TO also
especially inquire:
First-what meat or beef contracts
were made by the War Department and
persons or contracting companies.
Second-What was the condition of the
said meat or beef furnished by the persons
or contractors TO the soldiers OF the army
of the United States by the War Depart
ment.
Third-If the same was decayed or pois-
oned or in proper condition to be furnish
ed the soldiers.
Fourth-If the condition of such. when
supplied by the furnishers. if known to
them, should not, if decayed or unfit to
be supplied, cause the forfeiture Of any or
all compensation provided for such con-
tractor.
Also, whether the facts discussed should
or should not demand the submission of
the subject matter and persons connected
Herewith to an appropriate grand jury
OF the United States to inquire into and
present such indictments or presentment
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses or for the cheating or swindling of
the United States or Of any Of its depart
ments or citizens.

A new bill that the United States sub

and back, in that respect differing ma

new notes-all OF them one dollar silver
certificates-had been paid out yesterday
morning at the New York subtreasury
Treasury notes and United States notes
of the design will also be issued. In the
case Of the one-dollar note an American
eagle is pictured in the centre. Its wings
are outstretched. and it is guarding the
flag. Below are small portraits of Lincoln
and Grant. In the corners are bold fig

PEACE TREATY RECEIVED
Referred to the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
IN MR.. MORRILL'S MEMORY
Senator AlIison's High Tribute to
the Dead Senator-Sennte May Adj
journ Today Until Mondny-Sen-
ator MorEan's Desire to Continue
the Nicaragua Canal Bill Debate.

The peace treaty between the United
States and Spain was transmitted to the
Senate yesterday together with brief
message of transmittal from the Presi
dent. Aside from referring the treaty to
the Foreign Relations Committee the SEN
ate passed resolutions of sorrow at the
death of Senator Morrill, and adjourned as
mark of respect to his memory.
The session, which lasted but fifteen
minutes. was opened with Senator Frye in
the chair, Vice President Hobart, who has
been suffering since his New Year re-
ception with the grip, being too i'll to at
tend.
Senators Davis, Frye, and Gray, mem
bers Of the peace commission, were cor
daily greeted by their colleagues on en-
tering the chamber. Senator White of
California was present for the first time
this session.
The prayer of the chaplain was touch
ing tribute to the memory of Senator Nor
rill. He said:
We come together with of grief at
the absence OF the senior senator from Vermont,
whose presence and whose counsel shall more
thee for his noble - for his example so wise,
courageous and benefcent. and we pray that the
influence of his character may abide within
these walls to inspire with strength and sweet
exalted wisdom everyone ol u.s.
On motion of Senator Davis, the reading
of the minutes of the last legislative day
was dispensed with, and Major Pruden.
the Presidents assistant secretary, who
had been waiting with the treaty under
his arm. was recognized by the Chair and
announced, Il am instructed to deliver to
the Senate a message in writing. A mes
sage from the House was also received
and before they reached the desk, Senator
Davis moved an executive session. The
galleries were cleared, and the treaty was
referred to the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations without being read to the Senate.
Senator Davis proposed motion to have
the treaty published, but withheld it at the
request of Senator Allison. The executive
session lasted but four minutes, when the
bells were rung for an open session, and
Senator Allison took the floor to pay
tribute TO the memory of the late Senator
Morrill,. After noting the fact of his death
he spoke slowly and with seeming diff
Guilty, as follows:
Senator Morrill, was the Oldest senator in the
body. lie had served here longer than any
other senator, and including his service in the
House had longer continuous service than any
He came here AT the opening of this session
Of Congress and took part every day in the
deliberations until the day OF the recess, and
although enfeebed in body, his mind was clear.
and his mental vision not dimmed. TINS led ms
to the belief thht ne would be spared 20 ,ne
service of his country for long time. But the
inscrutable Providence which guides the desti-
nies of men and of nations in their progress and
development and decay and otherwise, ruled that
he should pass from among us. His passing was
sudden. giving us i shock OF sorrow and bcreave-
