Copies Of the report made to Water Comrnis-
sioner Dalton by Robert Van Buren,, chief engineer
of the Brooklyn supply. concerning the
present conditions in and n eds Of that borough
were given out by Mr. Van Buren, yesterday. Inc
report is long enough to fiji FIVE newspaper col
umns, and IS an exhaustive compilation and review
of reports that have been made for a number OF
years. 1t Is now old story-the needs OF Brook-
lyn-and there will be nothing new until the De
partment decides to act upon some OF the susses-
tons made by the Brooklyn engineers
Concerning the plan for getting more water
which IS now relied upon most eagerly Tor perHia-

EARLY CLOSING OLD RUSE
POLICE OFFICERS BESIDES CROSS AND

TO SPEAK AGAIN.

Chief Devery's motive in Issuing orders for the
closing OF saloons at l o'clock Is generally we'll
understood. 1t is merely part OF the policy that
Tammany has adopted when reform movements
have become particularly strong. 1t has been Tam
many's aim always in such times to shut up the
saloons in the expectation that the large body or
the community would rise against the restriction
which they would feel most But while the saloon
keepers have received orders to close. Devery s
ostensibe crusade has yet been applied to those
vicious resorts against which public resentment
is primarily directed.
A meeting of the Police Board was held yesterday
afternoon, but it's close the newspaper repre-
sentatives informed that the business of the

Mr.. York admitted that he had received the afl-
davits which Bishop Potter had forwarded to the
Board but said that it had been decided not to
make their contents public until they Were pro-
duced evidence at the trial of the two officers.
The inference to be drawn from Mr.. York's
plies would seem to indicate that there is founda

WHAT IS NEEDED IN PHILIPPINES.
COMMISSIONER TAFT WRITES TO A FRIEND
IN CINCINNATI OF OPPoRTUNI-

TIES THERE

Cincinnati. Nov. 27-Judge Taft, president Of the
Philippine Commission. in letter TO friend in
this city, speaks of the and needs of the
islands follows:
With these islands completely paci1od they are
far and away the best possessions in the Orient for
purposes of trade and development. Their climate is
better than the climate of any tropical country
know and the capacity for agricultural, mineral
and commercial development would seem 10 be I'M
limited Even with the unsettled condition OF the
country it is the tonnage of the vessels coming
into the harbor of Manila. excluding the Govern
ment transports. is double what 1t ever was in
Spanish times. and the same thing is true Of the
fntersland tonnage. With the construction Of roads
and railroads through these islands the opportuni-
ties for development cannot be exaggerated. These
people are a people who take to the luXuries of
life, enjoy good clothes and comforts. and markets
among them for cotton goods, canned goods -four,
petroleum and machinery can be created in Won
derfully short time.
one the things that is needed here is the intro
duction of American business methods. The estah-
lshment of two three large American business
houses here retail wholesale. carrying into bust
ness the same methods that prevail at home. would
do wonders for the business standards of these
islands.
