 q have not given the reservoir idea the study it deserves said M. c. Me Dougall. ''but it is very easily apparent to me that water storage is an absolute necessity. The late 1routh has cer- tainly demonstrated that fact. I am in favor of the plan and believe that the rsed is great enough to justify even a bonus of a quarter million dollars, if such were necessary to secure the res ervoir.'
 Another man interviewed, said: "I don't wish to be quoted for certain reasons. but I saw a remark in n pape, opposing the bonds to the effect that the water would have to be supplied through canals and canals were only common carriers. Herce the bonds would be only another scheme to aid the canals. You should answer then by saying that of course canal is g common carrier, therefore let the farm.

Henderson, Ky, July 29.-First Lieu tenant John WilburWard of the Thirty third infantry, now in the Philippines, which regiment was engaged in the chase of Aguinaldo. has written a letter to his father here under date of Cabu- gao, June IA, in which he says:
 The Thirty-third wounded and pos sibly killed Aguinaldo. He had gath cred up guerrilla bands to the number of about 800 men when the Thirty-third was ordered after his.

THE GERMAN VOTE
MT. Hull Believes it Will Be
 Republican
He Says Imperialism Is Not Proving a Potent Democratic Issue-Hcw Illinois Germans Are Being Re assured by Rodenberg.

Washington, July 29.-RepresentatiVe Hull of Iowa, chairman of the house committee on military affairs, speaks confidently of republican prospects in the middle west.
 ''So far as I am able to judge" he says, i've are in good shape for the fight before us. There may be a few German voters who. are disposed to support MT. Bryan, but I think they will be won back.
 Imperialism, from what I can judge, is not proving a success as a democratic issue. I do not believe it is going to influence the German voters. Repre- sentative ROdenberg, the republican member from the East St. Louis Qll) district has had an experience recently which serves as a good illustration. There are a great many Germans in his district. and he has been addressing them on the subject of standing armies in this country and in Germany.
 This country has a population of something like 7O.OOOGOO and Germany
Arizona republican., 1900-07-30

a population of about 46,O0O,O ,OOO, with a standing army as l recall it. of over 1.OOO. 900. Mir. Rodeuberg has been plac- ing these figures before his German audiences. and explaining that this country with almost twice the popula- tion of Germany, has much less than one-tenth as large an army when on a peace basis. our present military strength. counting volunteers and reg ulars. being approximately 100000 men.
 MT. Rodenberg's experience has been that the Germans. on hearing this universally declare that such militar- ism as ours has no terrors for them. Of course, we shall see to it that these comparisons are explained to Germans elsewhere.
 ''The labor vote always is to some ex- tent a doubtful quantity, but I have not been able to see any indications that the workingInen are going to desert us this year. The Debs element, to be sure, will be against us, but it always has been. Four years ago the working men showed some hesitation about vot- ing the republican jacket. They had only the statements of the two parties from which to form their opinions This year they have the results of a republi- can congress from which to judge what the republicans are able and willing to do for the country"

WASHINGTON ExPECTANT.

Washington, July 29.-There is a growing expectation at the state de- partment that news of the utmost i'm portance may be forthcoming at any moment from Pekin. Nothing was re- cciVed today. The few cablegrams that were received referred to minor mat ters and did not touch at all upon con- ditiOns in the Chinese capital.
 It is believed that the basis for this expectation is the knowledge of Ofi- cials that certain machinery hereto fore set in motion may result in the . opening up of communication through Ssome secret, but reliable channels. It is known that a second effort has been made by our own government to get another message from Mr. Conger and that nearly all of the powers also have resorted to private agencies in their own interests with like object.
 The fact has just been developed that one of the last acts of the late Col. Liscum before his death at Tien Tsin was to undertake to send dispatch to Pekin. General Dorward. the British commander at Tien Tsin. also sent out two messengers, and it is believed the Japanese did the same. Up to date not one of these messengers has returned to Tien Tsin, nor has there been a sim gle word from any of them. This fact. however has not caused the abandon ment of hope and this Is true in par tlcular of the messages expected from MT. conger.

The decree says the officials will answer with their lives for any failure to exc cute these orders.
 Commands are also given that not single foreigner shall be allowed to escape from the interior, where there are fully 2,O0O Europeans connected with missionary work in the isolated situations"

LACK OF A NAVAL BASE
Navy Handicapped in Case of a
 Chinese War.

Washington, July 29.-The navy de- partment is preparing for possible eventualities arising out of the situa- tfon In China. One of the great diff culties which would confront the United States in the event of naval warfare in Chinese waters is the lack of a naval base close to the scene Of operations Manila is 1000 miles from Taku, while some of the other powers have bases within striking distance. England has a base at Wei Hai Wei and a coalinS station at Che Foo; Rus s;a has a naval base at Port Arthur and Germany at Kalachaio. Besides, in case of naval war, the ports of China, which in ordinary times are open for the purchase of all ordinary supplies and stores, would be closed.
 The same difficulty confronted the department during the Spanish war, and, so far as coal is concerned the same method will have to be pursued to supply our warships. A fleet of col Hers will have to be utilized to take out coal for our ships and to ply back and forth between our squadrons and Ma nila. And even this plan has its ob- stacles, owing to the fact that foreign countries have gobbled up everything afloat which could be utilized for ship ping coal and stores. Germany and Japan have even impressed steamers. The result is that at the present time 800 per cent of our government freight for the orient is now being carried in foreign bottoms. Consequently prices have materially advanced. Freight charges on coal which the navy depart ment was able to ship to Manila for $7 a ton now cost S9. and the price of coal itself has materially increased. The department would, therefore, practi- cally be compelled to rely upon it's own vessels.
 AS precautionary measure the col Hers purchased during the Spanish war, which had gone out of commission are being fitted out for service. The water ship Arethusia, which was also purchased too late for service is also being prepared at the League Island navy yard. Modern warships need fresh water for their boilers. and the supply of fresh water is indispensable if they are to be kept in first-class con- dition.
 The Indiana and Iowa came to grief | during the Spanish war because they were compelled to use salt water in their tubular boilers. Owing to the lack of naval officers available the col | Hers on the Atlantic coast under orders for China are being equipped with merchant crews. There are sixteen ships in the collier fleet. Five others are either in Pacific or Asiatic waters. | The Saturn and the Alexander are loading at the Norfolk yard and will proceed as soon as possible via the | Suez canal.

supply. That supply can come only from a storage reservoir.
 Who will build it? Who will take the initiative to provide a way out? The Republican has presented plan where- by such results may be accomplished. The people are rapidly falling in line and giving it their support-not be- cause The Republican suggested it, but because they want storage and the proposition looks feasible. Among oth- CTS seen yesterday were B. T. GilIett. He said: ''I have been here for eight years and all that time I have been pa- tiently waiting for water storage I have had faith, faith in the valley and faith that some day water storage would be provided. I still have faith. but it is time for works to get in evil dence. It has become a vital question ana l would like to see the zOnds issued and the work inaugurated. An ample supply of water for this valley would De cheap at any price. We could well afford to give the $500, ,0OO if we never got cent back directly"
 MT. George Buxton, who is in prob ably as close touch with the fruit rais- CTS of the valley as any one, says the reservoir will doubtless be worth many times its cost to the fruit interests. as well as every other industry in the val ley. "The Republican plan is an excel lent one," said Mr., Buxton. and I can not understand how there could be any opposition to it, by any one who has the good of the valley at heart Any res ervoir proposition is a good one and it IS only a question of selecting the best one. With proper irrigation facilities this country will be made tke g;eatest fruit district in the world The crops this year have suffered greatly as every one knows. Apricots and melons were injured and now the orange crop prom

 Last night O'Hare met Mullen and some dispute took place, but it was soon apparently settled in d friendly way. Mullen was heard to say, That's all right. and l am done with it now.'' About ten minutes later, while O'Hare was standing in front of the livery stable talking to MT. Victor Schooley, Mullen came up from behind and struck him with a heavy club. Before the spectators knew what was going on Mullen had struck O'Hare three times over the head After O'Hare had fallen to the ground Mullen jumped on him,
 kicking him with brutal ferocity. O'Hare died about thirty minutes later without knowing what had struck him. Mullen took to his heels and made for the open country, when he was cap- tured. O'Hare was a volunteer during the Spanish-American war and saw active service in Cuba. Mullen is
