Water supply at Navy Yard.

Reporting upon complaint Of Command
er Perkins that the water supply in the
washington navy yard is inadequate Mr.
W. A. Mcfarland. superintendent of the
water department, says steps have recently
been taken by his department to supply
the south side Of Capitol Hill with water
independently of the Pinch main now used
to supply the navy yard. When work al
ready authorized has been completed, says
the superintendent. the Pinch main from
and to East Capitol street to the navy yard
will be entirely disconnected from the do
mestic service mains. This work will prob
ably be completed inside of the next two
months, and 1t is believed that this change
In the system will aRord substantial relief
to the navy yard and 1t Is submitted that
this is all the water department can do to
afford the relief asked for.

1890 against loss of 2,415 and an insur-
ance of ,925 for the previous month"; and

have no officers and hold no stated meet
ings There are two German groups IN
New York, one in Manhattan. Both are
known the International Club Freiheit
and John Most is their recognized leader
These two groups have a membership OF
about $50. There is Spanish group
without any regular meeting place
in Brooklyn, of which PEDRO Stern.
the Paterson anarchist, is the lead
er. and which has about 200 members
and there is large Italian group, which
meets in hall in Bleecker street. Manhat-
TAM. of which Count kurico Malatesta mas
been the leader. 1t has about 300 members
In Paterson. 1t is estimated. there are near
ly 500 anarchists. chiefly Italians. The an
literature. Mosts Freiheit is the best
known of the papers, and has a circulation
of about 5000. 1t is published weekly.
There is little communication between the
groups. except for some specific purpose, as
when the fund for tunneing into the jail
in which Anarchist Bcrkman was imprison-
ed, was raised, or when some master agi-
tator like Count Malatesta comes to the
country. Then a convention of the leading
anarchists may be held to arrange for con-
certed action. 1t IS a curious fact that
nearly all the intellectual leaders of this
movement, which aims at the destruction
of all social order. have been aristocrats-
Bakonnne the founder of the cult, was of
a noble Russian family; Prince Krapotkin
is related to the cZar; Malatestas family
is one of the noblest in Italy. and Dr.
leader. who visited this country few
years ago. is also of noble family.
War on Sweat Shops.
The war against the sweating system in
the cloakmakng industry, which hereto
fore has been carried on by individual
cloakmakers' unions in the industrial CEN
tiers Of the country, will be made interna-
tional. concerted movement for the
abolition Of the sweating system has been
decided on by the cloakmakers' unions of
the United States and Canada. The cam
paign against the sweating system in this
and other large cities of North America
will be directed by the officers of the Inter
national Union of Cloakmakers. who have
offices in this city.
Navy Yard Clerks Ask Vacation.
The clerks employed in the different de-
partments at the Brooklyn navy yard are
making strenuous efforts to induce Secretary
Long to grant the clerks of the local and
other navy yards a short vacation of one or
two weeks They point to the fact that
every other department Of the government,
including the postmen, receive a vacation
of from fifteen to thirty days each year
The clerks have drawn up request to this
effect and a number of the House commit
tee on naval affairs have 81 gned 1t.
The first electrically equipped train Will
be run on the Manhattan elevated railway
as early as September Il. according to a
statement by w. f. Baker. superintendent
of electrical construction. The engines and
generators are now being pushed to COM
pletion, and the first engines will have their
trial trip on the I'd avenue line in less than
six weeks. The change from steam to cleo
trcity, which is costing the company

1t ought not to detract from the gran
deur Of such a position to entertain the
thought that perhaps Gen. S{erman's de-
votion to his friend Blaine may have had
something to do with the radical attitude
which he thus assumed. He was no
doubt influenced by some such feeling,
at least to some extent. So he was, 70
doubt, by his consciousness that he had
then reached an age which ought to call
for his retirement. AS he himself e2e-

eooo zeal Of consideration has been
bestowed upon the condition of affairs
at Nome since renorts have anneared
IN the press regarding the prevalence of
epidemic disease in the new mining camp.
1t IS evidently with view to disproving
the truth of those reports that the state
nleht mas oeen made, public setting forth
in detail the deaths which have taken
place since the first day of last June.
me record of those deaths show the
total number 20 be seventy-one. This to-
tai may be regarded as relatively great
or small, according to the extent of the
population of that interesting community.
But it is in the statement of the causes
Of the deaths thai the greatest public
interest must lie Out of % cases Of death,
the causes of which are known. % are
recorded as resulting from pneumonia.
four involved suicide and four murder.
This is record which tells with pitt
full eloquenee of the conditions attending
the lives of the people who have been
led by the thirst for gold to cast behind
them all the comforts and most Of the
restraints Of civilized life. Pneumonia is
a disease which results chiefly, i not
entirely, from hardship and undue ex-
posture. When all other records Of deaths
besides those from that complaint in
volve either murder or suicide a condi-
ton Of affairs is shown which seems to
demand the intervention of responsible
authority.
If local government in Nome Is no more
effective from the hygienic or police re-
quirement than is suggested by this re-
cord Of mortality among the residents
Of the place, it is time that some respon-
sibIe authority should assume control,
and put an end to a state of things which
seems shocking travesty on civilization
itself. The authorities of the federal
government cannot make this affair their
concern any too soon.
