The notched board must be high

at each end OF the trough and nailed
the trough to the stakes. Then we ran
the notched board lengthwise Of the

A Unique Dinner.

and all the other edibles mentioned by
Mother Goose. The guests were paired off
by mating rhymes. For instance, il the

THE LOCAL WATER SUPPLY.

Col. Miller Begins Preparations for
Filtration Operations.
Col. Miller, the engineer officer in charge
OF the washington aqueduct, has COM
menced the construction of a clearwater
reservoir on the track Of land near the
Howard University reservoir recently pur-
chased by the government for filtration
purposes. Steady progress Is reported in
the work Of repairing and completing the
tunnel-conduit and the Howard University
reservoir. The lining Of the shaft at
Howard University has been completed,
and work Is under way at the east and
west shaft gatehouses.
The principal work under way at present
10 the construction of a circulating con-
duit. leading from the main gatehouse to
the north end OF the HowardUniversity re-
servoir. That work is in progress continu-
ously night and day, in three shifts of
hours each. in order that each 3O-foot sec
ton once begun shall be carried to compile
ton without stop, thus giving a perfect
monolithic construction of the Portland ce-
ment concrete. The 8O-foot sections are
united by rings Of iron EMBEDDED In the
concrete and extending four inches into
each OF the adjoining sections Col. Mil
Ter says that the plane of weakness thus
formed has already given good practical
results In allowing for expansion and con-
traction due to the setting Of the concrete
and the changes of temperature.
According to Col. Miller the water served
to the District Of Columbia was clear
every day during the month Of September.
The consumption and waste of water dur
Ing the "a hours ended at am. September
27 amounted to 52.512.5s gallons. Various
improvements to the Washington aque-
duct system are reported, including the
erection Of a stone wall for the protection

WANT THE CANAL BUILT.
People of Nicaragua Also Want
America to Control 1t.

NEW YORK, October 13.-Bishop Pereira
of Nicaragua. who is returning from visit
TO the pope. was a passenger on board the
steamer Lucania, arriving here today.
In regard to the Nicaragua canal project,
the bishop said that his people all hoped
that 1t would soon be realized as it would
undoubtedly bring much good to the little
republic.
LAS far as Nicaragua is concerned" the
bishop said, the matter is entirely out of
our hands, but note with satisfaction that
Congress VIII take up the question next De-
cember, and l can only hope that 1t will
then be promptly disposed of. We favor
American control and fortifications, as our
country else might be the stamping ground
of foreign armies.
"Of war Nicaragua has had its full share
during the last ten years-in fact, ever since
the time of Evaristo Carazo. Our poor
country has suffered severely as a conse-
quence, and we have seen a weaker coun-
try In the south, Costa Rica, march past
us to prosperity under the blessings of un-
broken peace
Bishop Pereira will sail from this port

CUMBERLAND, Nd October 13.-A can
vass Of some Of the larger plants Of South
Cumberland, the industrial center, has
shown e. condition which the republicans
claim is very gratifying to them. OF the
900 employees OF the Baltimore and Ohio
shops and yard about 450 are voters OF this
number go have expressed for Mckinley,
and besides these a number have not yet
decided how they will vote. The n. & q.
Taylor in plate mills also make a good
showing. or the $50 voters employed at
the pant over 100 have declared for Nc
kinley and Roosevelt Eighty per cent OF
the employees of the Queen City glass works
are for the republican ticket, and 26 of the
~ employees of the Queen City Brick and
Tile Company have likewise expressed a
preference for Mckinley. OF the 400 new
ly registered voters in South Cumberland
1t is confidently claimed that 30 per cent
are republicans. The republicans claim the
situation In the mines is clearing and that
a normal republican majority is assured In
the region.

Democrats Preparing to Make a Stir
ring Fight.
4 MATTER OF CONJECTURE
Few Believe That Bryan Has Any
Chance in the State.
VIEWS OF THE OBSERVING

The conference recently held in New York
some other Ohio democrats Is taken to mean
that the democrats are preparing to make
the most determined fight possible in that
state during the closing weeks Of the cam
paign. Whether this 10 with the idea that
they have q possible chance Of carrying
the state or whether It is for the effect
upon nedghborng states Is a matter Of in
ference. Some Of the democratic shouters
OF Ohio are proclaiming that they are go
ing to carry the state for Bryan. This
claim is based upon q calculation which
adds about go per cent of the vote cast for
Golden Rule" Jones at the last state cleo
tion to that cast for John r. Mclean for
governor which would make majority of
the votes cast The men who are making
these claims, however. are generally Of the
class who before every election are loud in
their predictions that Ohio is going demo-
cratic, and who are therefore not in good
standing as political prophets. Republicans
merely ridicule the suggestion, and 1t Is
safe to cay that few soberminded demo-
Gratis have any idea that Ohio can properly
be classified as a doubtful state.
An Observing Democrats View.
An Ohio democrat, who is not an active
poltlclan, Dut VINO Keeps Well posted on the
politics of the state said to a Star reporter
today that he attached no Importance to
democratic claims. He thought McKinley's
majority in Ohio would be reduced below
what 1t was in '96. but that was all the
efforts Of the democrats would amount to.
II know" he said, that the claim Is made
that 50 per cent of the Jones vote will go
to Bryan, but / think that Bryan will be
doing well to get 40 per cent Of that vote.
McKinley's majority may be reduced to ten
or fifteen thousand. but do not think he Ia
in danger Of losing the state"
A Gold Democrats Belief.
A gold democrat Of considerable promi-
nence, who supported Bryan in 80, and who
still stands by him, told Star reporter that
he was much discouraged at the outlook
for democratic success He said that he
could not figure out how Bryan could be
elected. unless he carried New York, and
that from talks he had had with New York
business men he did not believe that it
was possible for the democrats to carry
New York. number of business men who
had voted for Bryan in so had, he said,
told him recently that they were going to
vote for Mckinley this time. The impress
sion he got was that the business men were
more united in their opposition to Bryan
this time than they were in so. He said
he thought Bryan might carry Indiana, but
did not believe he could carry Illinois or
any other Of the states in the middle west,
and was sure that he would lose both
Washington and Wyoming. Until two weeks
ago, he said, he had thought the democrats
would carry Maryland, but he now thought
1t extremely doubtful.

President FavOrs Paying Families of
Murdered Italians.

President FavOrs Paying Families of
Murdered Italians.
The President will recommend to Con-
gress the payment Of an indemnity to the
families Of the four Italians who were the
victims Of mob fury at Tallaluh La, about
two years ago. The national government
has made such inquiry into the case as 1t
could with the machinery at It's command,
and about the only result was the produc-
ton Of q report from a special agent Of
the Department Of Justice. which clearly
established the fact that the men were
killed by the mob and that none of the
perpetrators of the crime was ever pun
ished in any way by the state authorities,
notwithstanding the Representations Of the
national government. The governor Of
Louisiana caused an investigation to be
made and there were the usual proceed
ings before g. grand jury. but the result
was that nothing was accomplished, and
the national government found itself bound
to make some sort of reparation in answer
to the Italian governments representations.
That will take the form of an indemnity
for each OF the persons killed who were
italian citizens at the time Of their death
Similar reparauon would be expected from
the Italian government in case an Ameri-
can citizen lost his life in Italy In the hands
of an italian mob.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

Representatives of the Canadian
Government Here After Information
Roger c. Clute and George Simpson,
chairman and secretary, respectively, Of a
committee appointed by the Canadian gov
ernment to investigate the subject Of Chi
nese immigration into Canada, called at
the Treasury Department today and had a
conference with Assistant Secretary Tay-
lor and the officials Of the immigration
service. These gentlemen represented that
the Canadian government wac becoming
somewhat concerned about the fmmigra-
ton Of Chinese into the dominion and had
appointed this committee to make an ex-
haustive investigation and report their
findings to the Canadian parliament. Their
principal purpose in coming to Washing
ton was to obtain copies Of our Chinese ex-
clusion laws, the reports of committees Of
Congress on the subject and such other
general Information as was obtainable here
From the conversation had with the Cana
dfans 1t was apparent there is a growing
feeling in Canada in favor of legislation
excluding all immigrants who are suffering
from contagious diseases or otherwise OBJ
jectionable as citizens Of the dominion.

This Government Sees No Reason to
Surrender Loot Taken at Tien Tsin.
Our government has decided to hold in
trust for the present at least the sum Of
s2IS0OT realized from the bullion taken by
the American marines from the Chinese
subtreasury at Tien Tsin. This bullion
was deposited in one of the eastern banks
by Admiral Remey, and the certificate of
deposit stands in his name, though subject
to the draft Of the Navy Department The
Chinese authorities have never made appli-
cation for the restoration Of that sum. But
the provisional government Of Ten Tsin.
comprising the representatives of Germany,
Russia, England and the other powers,
learning that the United States forces had
taken charge Of the money, have made a
request that it be surrendered to them. Not
seeing any good reason why the money
should be given to foreigners and regard
ing itself as a good trustee IL the money is
to be held for future disposition, the United
States government has decided to hold 1t
for the present 1t has not been shown
that any Of the loot similarly taken from
Pekin by the armies of the other powers

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY
RUSSIAN PROPOSAL INDoRSED BY
THIS GOVERNMENT.
Divergence of Views to he Submitted
to the International Court
of Arbitration.

The Russian suggestion that the interna-
tional court Of arbitration of The Hague be
given Jurisdiction over Emergencies OF
views arising on the question Of Chinese
indemnities was submitted to Secretary Hay
by NJ. de Wollant the Russian charge
d'affaires in Washington, in note dated
October 3. 1t has now received the adher-
ence Of the American and French govern
ments. which. with the Russian govern
ment, give the suggestion the approval OF
three Of the foremost powers, and gives
strong assurance Of its general adoption.
M. de Wolant's note has not been made
public 1t can be stated, however, that 1t
was the result of extended exchanges be-
tween the French and Russian govern
ments relative to the six proposals in the
French note. 1t expressed approval Of the
various proposals. and then added this new
suggestion relative to giving The Hague
tribunal Jurisdiction OF indemnity in case
there should be divergence of views. Not
being formal proposition, but merely an
incident to the approval Of the French note
1t has not called for formal reply of ac-
ceptance, but the Russian authorities have
been furnished with copy Of the American
reply to the French note, wherein our ap-
proval Is given to the Russian suggestion.
SO that 1t Is none the less effective in giving
American adherence to the plan. 1t is un-
derstood also that Austria and Italy. and
pIoDdpiy Japan, look with 1avor upon The
Hague suggestion.
The movement promises to give the first
practical realization to the czar's movement
IN bringing about the international congress
OF Ihe Hague. While that congress did not
rulhll his expectations in regard to inter-
national disarmament. it took a step in that
direction by establishing the court Of arbi-
tration. The court has now received the
approval Of the various governments repre-
sented at The Hague, and its formal organ
lzatlon Is in progress. The Importance the
united states attaches to 1t is shown in
the choice Of ex-President Harrison and ex-
senator George Gray Of Delaware as the
