PROGRESS OF ARTIC EXPLORERS

1t seems to me that the law requires

Mr.. Gum, i'm his letter, says: "Your

at any time Of selecting any books
from our catalogue that they may wish
to have used in the public schools of
the Territory" The existing contract
provides that: said Board of Educa-
ton shall. during the five years next

Company. from publications issued by
II, all Of the books required in the gov

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March 29.-The bill
to prevent the pollution OF the Potomac
River above the dam at Cumberland was
killed in the House yesterday by a vote OF
81 70 "A.
The bill was aimed against the West
Virginia Paper and Pulp Mil Company.
and Mr. Graeh. its au: lor, fought vigor-
Ously fOr its passage. He contended that
the bill was demanded by the people Of
the city of Cumberland for the publication
Of their drinking water.
The other members Of the AIlegany and
Garrett county delegations we're opposed
to the bill. Frorl the introduction Of this
bill it has engendered more bitterness than
any other measure that has come before
the house. The debate was a war; one
and some unexpected charges were made
against those opposing the N
Mr.. Wilson, Of Garrett spoke at length
In opposition TO il. He was followed by
Mr. Robinson. of Baltimore city. who also
protested against its passage. The latter
asserted that some OF the peopIe,of Cum
berland polluted the river with their own
sewage above the dam from which their
water supply is taken and that the entire
sewage OF Cumberland was permitted TO
flow down the Potomac to Washington,
where the water was used for domestic
purposes by residents of the National Cap
ital.
Mr.. Long, Of Washington, made an ear
nest plea for the passage Of the bill He
was not a resident Of Cumberland, he said,
aud did not get his water supply from the
Potomac. That il was an important mes
uhe he left TO the consciences Of the mem
bers. Here are 5000 persons who are
compelled 10 use water contaminated ia
every conceivable manner by those who
live farther up stream. They appeal TO
this Legislature for relief.
The fact that four members OF the Ale
gaEy delegation are opposed to the meas
ure. while only one favOrs it, does not in
dicate to me the wishes Of the Cumberland
people. The four members who oppose the
measure are not residents OF Cumberland
and are not. therefore. compelled TO use the
contaminated water"
He asserted that he knew some OF the
people who had come here from Auegany
in opposition TO the bill. and that some OF
the members OF the House dared not lift
up their voices in favor OF the measure was
explained by the fact that they we're con-
trOlled by corporations and individuals who
did not wish the ball passed.
Several members took exceptions TO the
latter statement. AID Speaker Wilkinson
remarked that the ehar,,e was a little 100
broad 10 be- made on the hoor of the House
Mr. Long-epologiEed for his words. and
concluded his remarks by daring the mem
bers OF either the majority or minority par
