The german voters will take an act i've and influential part in the muni- cipal election in New York City this xear. The German-American Reform Association claims that out of 646,154 votes polled in the Greater New York last fall, there are 21s.277 Germans registered as voters. This shows a German per centage of about S4 per rent. of the whole vote Formerly the rr,sh- Americans were fin the ascendant sn the metropolis, but now it is the rermans. The German voters are much divided on the question of city government and administration. They amer radically from the bulk of tho reformers on the Sunday and the excise aneations. To gain their support par fially wide-open Sunday is advocated bv some of the anti-Tammanyites.

Senator Quay takes, the position that s.st ia better to nominate good man m third time than to experiment with \ new and untried man." and on that theory he professes to. be in favor of giving Mckinley another term, not wlthstanding the latters positive re- fusal. As The Savannah News well says, Quay's argument would justify inc reelection of a man as long as he lived, and we do not believe the Amer lcau people are ready for that kind Of thing. Besides, the Republicans natur- ally hope to win and they would hard as dare go into the contest, with un- broken tradition. and the illustrious ex- amples of Washington and Jefferson against them. There will be no third term foolishness, unless it is forced wsn the Republican Party by still great CT foolishness on the part of the Dem ecrats.

done to adjacent property through defect
i've drainage upon premises 1906 Bladens-

an inspection showed that the roof of q
two-story frame stable drained upon the
adjacent property. He says the stable had
no floor, and for the reasons stated no
tice was sent to the owner Of the stable to
connect his property with the sewer in
Lewis street. Mr.. Ball says that spouting
has been put upon the stable roof, but that
the water from the down-spout still flows
upon the property adjpining. He there
fore recommends that the owner be served
with a notice that the work of connecting
the premises with the drainage sewer can
not be delayed longer. The Commissioners

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
REPORT OF DISTRICT sEALER FOR
PAST FISCAL YEAR.
Receipts Sufficient <s Make Office Self
Sustaining-Scaies Sealed and
COndemsned.

". c. Haskell, theasealer of weights and
measures. submittedshis annual report to
the District Commissioners late yesterday
afternoon He states that the total re-
ceipts during the year were $1,000. % which
amount fully covers the expenses of the
office and makes it se1f-sustaining. During
the year 1862 scales were sealed. Twenty
six scales were condemned outright, and
eleven condemned for repairs. Six hundred
and forty-four weights were sealed and
twenty-eight condemned. Sixteen hundred
and ffty-two measures were sealed and LAT
condemned. Continuing, Mr.. Haskell says:
The city has been very thoroughly cam
vassed and the rigid examinations and reg
ular inspection of scales and measures has
had the desired effect Of diminishing the
number of false weights and measures.
During the year repeated efforts have
been made to regulate the proper use OF the
dry and liquid measures. liquid quart
contains 57.75 cubic inches and dry quart
6I.2 cubic inches. Many dealers do not ap-
preciate this difference in capacity and are
themselves as frequently the losers thereby
the consumer. Aside from this. we find
improved conditions and fewer prosecu-
tions, for the use Of false measures or
tampering with scales, have resulted dur
Ing the past year. We also find kindly
disposition on the part of the general pub
lie to assist US in our efforts which we have
at all times appreciated.
Care In Weighing Coal.
more care Is now taken by the persons
engaged in weighing coal at the several
coal yards and the public and coal dealers
are both benefited thereby. We will con-
tinue to take up coal carts and wagons
loaded with coal and test the weight OF
the coal from time to tine as In the past.
The scales used on ice wagons have also
received their share OF attention and are
generally in good condition.
Il have the honor to renew my previous
recommendation for an annual inspection
Of measures, the fee for same to be mere
nominal one, and also the adoption OF
metal measure with open meshes at the
bottom for oyster measures, recommended
in my annual report for the year ended
June 80, 1900
THE first of August we commence the
inspection and sealing of milk bottles or
Jars, used in delivering milk or cream
throughout the District and also milk cans.
For some time past this matter has been be-
fore us, but, owing to a lack of assistance.
we have been unable to take 1t up before
this time Our need in this direction was
called to the attention of Congress and at
its last session we were granted an assist
ant for this work.

Sharp Explosions startle People in n

Two sharp explosions, at intervals about
twenty minutes apart. startled people In
the vicinity Of The Evening Star office this
morning between 8 and 10 o'clock They
were caused by gas in the conduit Of the

pounds situated In front Of Harris Shaf-
ers store. was thrown several feet i'll the

the pavement 1t was replaced and was
again blown off when the gas accumulated
again In the conduit. Fortunately no one
was struck by the escover in either instance
Several days agorthere were three or four
similar explosions along the same conduit.
1t is thought that there is leak in one
of the nearby gas mains, or pipes, which
permits the gas to- escape into the conduit,
and efforts are being made to, locate it.
