The Superintendent of the Water De-
partment recently received a letter from
a Baltimore firm asking that tine spcciii-
cations for the water gates for the Trum-
bull Street pumping station be changed
so as to admit of the use Of parable! face
valves. The claim is made in the letter
that combining the specifications TO taper
seated valves, the Commissioners will
shut out all competition. e-,-t..v-
The Superintendent of the Water De
partment, in reporting upon, the matter
states that the specifications for the wa
ter gates call for wedge SHAPED valves
and he states that while this prevents "A
bid from the Baltimore firm he thinks
that almost every other rlanufa etui"r cf
large valves is in position II offer pro-
posals. In his opinion, Therefore, the
competition. He thinks that gates of the
dimensions of those to be used in the
Trumbull Street station should be of a
single piece of material. 1t is recon-
mended that the Baltimore firm be in-
formed that no charge can be made in
the specifications ~ printed. He states
that in these specifications the Commits
sioners reserve the right to waive infor-
mallties in the bids received If they so
elect.

THE PACIFIC CABLE
This Country Curiously Hampered by
 the Paris Treaty.

Washington. Oct. 1.-There were five of the eight members of the cab inet present at today's meeting, Knox, Long, Hitchcock. Wilson and Smith. The principal subject discussed was a cable to Hawaii. Guam and the Phil ippines. Propositions have been made to lay a commercial cable from San Francisco to connect with those isl ands. The question under discussion was whether under the peace treaty with Spain the United States could au- thorize or in any way encourage the laying of such a cable by private par ties.
 Under a franchise obtained from Spain some time before the late war, the exclusive right to cable connections with the Philippines was secured by a foreign syndicate. Under the treaty of Paris the United States obligated it. self to protect all property rights in the archipelago. The question now at issue is whether permission to land the proposed cable at Manila or some other Philippine port would be a viola ton of the terms of the Paris treaty. The attorney general will prepare a statement for the president covering all the questions involved.

THE FRISCO STRIKES
One Ended and the Other One is
 Waning.

San Francisco. Cal, Oct. 1.-The strike situa ton in this city. as far as the machinists are concerned. is clear ing. Men are going back to work in large numbers, some of the larger plants giving work to old employees The men are returning to work under simewhat improved conditions, the hours being cut from ten to eight and one half. with ten hours pay The backbone of the strike is apparently broken. It is generally believed that the Risdon and Union Iron works will come to an amicable agreement with their employees. It is believed that d. dozen or more establishments will re- open tomorrow with their former workmen. Thoss who followed the strike since its inception look upon it as ended and predict that all strikers will be at work within two weeks.
 On the water front there is no espe- cial change in the strike situation. The streets are clear and union pickets are more free from disorder than at any time since the strike began. No cour- tesy is now extended to the strikers. The police regulations are so vigorous iy enforced that business is moving practically without interruption.

AN N. P. MEETING.
News of Who's Result Is Awaited with
 Interest

New York, Oct. 1.-In Wall street much interest attached to today's an- nual meeting of the stockholders of the Northern Pacific for the reason that it was the first meeting since the great contest between the Hill and Hartman factions for the control of the property. The opinion prevails that there were developments at the meeting which will fully demonstrate which party is ac- tually in control It is significant. however. that nothing affecting the fu- tuie mana cement of the road was spe- cified in the call for the meeting. Im- mediately after the contest the sugges- tion was made that the Hill party would rout their oponents by retiring the preferred stock and issuing bonds in lieu thereof. thus depriving the liar riman faction of its voting power. It is now generally understood. however, that such action was not contempla ted.

THE CASE OF THE COLON
Evans Told Schley of Sampson's Flu tile Attack on the Shore Batteries at San Juan-schley Bearing the Responsibility for the Safety of the Fleet Declined to Attack tie Colon.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The Schley court of inquiry made good heaoway again today concluding with the Evans nearing and three new witnesses, al- though the testimony of one of them was not concluded when the court aa- journed for the day.
 Evans testimony was along the same general lines as his statements yester- oay, but some points were presented in greater detail Tn response to questions by isaynor. The new witnesses were Captain Sigsbee, who commanded the scout St. Paul during the campaign; Tncmas M. Dienaide, a newspaper cor respondent who was on the Texas dur ing the battle of July 3, and chief yoe- man Gus.ave Becker, who was clerk to Sampson during the war.
 Sigsbee's testImcny covered the com municauions to Schley upon the latter'S arrival at Santiago on May 26 and sub sequent dates, and dealt with the state of the weather at that period. He was asked a great number of questions by the court.
 In answer to a question by MT. Ray nor. Admiral Evans declared that ha had not charged Captain Philip of the Texas with attempting to run away at the battle of Santiago, and denies that he ever said II shot the bow off the Fulton. the stern off the Furor. raked the Teresa and knocked out the Viz caya. Upon being questioned about the conference ol the officers of the flying squadron aboard the Brooklyn on May 29, he said that he had told Schley an account of Sampson's exper- fence ab San Juan but he aid not favor attacking the shore batteries alone. but if the Spanish fleet was in the har- Dor. something must be done to get at them. Schley responded that he fell the country held him responsible, and the ships must not risk the fire of tt.e shore batteries until the spanish, fleet was discovered.
 Raynor read from McCalla's report as follows: During the time the com- manding officers were on board the Brooklyn Captain Evans asked Com modore Schley if it were his intention to steam at the enemy's ships in case they started to come out. The com modore replied certainly and added words indicative of his intention to at tack them as they came out of the har- bor-" IL was also shown that Schley gave orders to concentrate the fire on a portion of the enemy's ships. Al this was for the purpose of showing that a plan Of battle had been arranged by Commodore Schley prior to the arrival of Sampson.
 Captain Sigsbee was the next import ant witness. He was questioned close ly concerning Schley's statement of his.
 having been assured by Sigsbee that he did nos think the Spanish fleet was in Santiago" Sigsbee declared that he. did not say that he believed the fleet was not there, but that he had nos seen if.
 Dienaide described the loop of the Brooklyn as seen from the Texas. Becker testified to the dispatches sent by Sampson to Schley.

THE SHAMROCK LED
When the Wind Died Away Leaving the White Winged Racers Only Half Way on Their Course With But an Hour to Run Home. Lipton's Boat is Now More Alarm. ing to Americans Than Ever.

New York. Oct. 1.-Today'S attempt to sail the second of the present series of international yacht races for the blue ribbon of the sea proved a dismal failure. Between 25,0GO and 1000 peo- pie who crowded the pleasure fleet off Sandy Hook lightship with hope of seeing a repetition of the thrilling sport of Saturday, witnessed instead more of a drifting match than a race. The wind was exceedingly light and variable, at times falling so low that the gossamer wind pennants. light aS thistle down, hung limp against the Inasts of the big single stickers. The wind with the crews lined up on the ice rails. was not sufficient at any time 10 make the racing machines heel to their lines. At the end of four and a half hours the two yachts had covered less than one half the prescribed course of thirty miles. and as there was no possibility of their finishing within the time limit the regatta committee de ciared the race off. When the gun was fired announcing this decision the chal- lenger was about half mile ahead of the defender. To that extent today's trial was q victory for the Shamrock. But the fluke demonstrated little as 10 the question of supremacy between the two boats. except that perhaps the
 
 gerous in light airs than was supposed. This morning at 9:15 the wind was blowing twelve and a half knots an hour. and promised well. Before 10 o'clock. however. 1t had died away to seven knots. and indications were for a drifting match over the triangular course of ten miles to the leg. At the start the Columbia out -jockeyed the Shamrock and crossed the starting line at-11:00:10,. 12 minutes in the lead At 1:30 they had sailed three and a half miles of the first leg and were all most becalmed. At 12:45 the breeze picked up a. bit.
 At 1:50 ?. m. the first mark was two miles away. the Shamrock leading by four lengths and holding the windwaTd berth.
 At 2:10 p. m. the Columbia overhaul ed her competitor and gained a lead of two lengths. though still in the leewar:i berth The wind light and fiukey.
 The Shamrock at 2:20 caught a fay bring breeze and began to rapidly over haul the Columbia. A few minutes later she drew ahead of the Columbia. and rounded the first mark well in the lead. The official time of the round Ing of the mark being Shamrock 2:41:36 Columbia 2:444s.
