MORE WATER FOR BROOELYN.

Relief of the water strineency in Brooklyn ap-
pears to be at hand. despite the open or secret
opposition of the RamaIo plotters and to an
extent which should make il impossible for
them, even with all their unrivalled effrontery

ough. Thanks to the persistence and energy of
the Brooklyn League and the Manufacturers
Association, general scheme of extension and
improvement is now being pushed toward COM
pletion in accordance with the reports and
recommenda tiOns made by the engineer of the
Water Department in November last Public
attention has of late been chiefly attracted TO
single feature of this scheme namely. the pro-
posed new distributing reservoir-and the alto
gether erroneous impression has consequently
prevailed that the efforts for improving the
water supply are confined TO the securing of
reservoir room in Forest Park. AS we have
hitherto argued, such an increase of distribut
ing reservoir capacity would in itself be useless
without n corresponding increase in storage
conduit and pumping facilities. These latter it
is gratifying to observe, are now being supplied
Work is being pushed on the new conduit
more than half a mile of 4S-inch pipe having
been laid at the MlIburn end. AS soon as
this reaches point where it can be connected
with the brick aqueduct there will be a small
yet appreciable improvement in the borough's
supply, though the full benefit of the new con-
duit will not be enjoyed until it is completed in
its entire length. The partial relief should be

~s1EGFRIED" AT THE OPERA

The third evening in the cycle of the Nibeungen
Ring at the opera house brought grievous disap-
pOintment the Wagneran contingent in the
announcement that Mr.. Jean de Reszke was pre-
vented by continued indispostiOn from taking the
part of Wagner's youthful hero in "Siegfried"
None the less they enjoyed an admirable perform
ance of the work-one that lacked indeed. some OF
the distinction that Mr.. De Reszke not only in
parts to his impersOnations, whatever they
may be. but seems also able 10 inspire in greater
less degree in those of his associates on the
stage, but it that full. if not Of poetry.
of life and energy and dramatic spirit. Mr. Dippel
appeared as Siegfried- His impersonaton has been
made familiar in former years 70 frequenters Of the
opera. and showed last evening no essential diff
ferences from his previous attempts. He fills the
part with buoyant life. and presents picturesque
figure. in which the characteristics of ebullent
youth are always accentuated- His voice. however
does not keep company with his ambition and the
general plan of his conception; it lacks sustained
power. and before the end Of each act shows signs
of WEAKNESS. He sang the forging with
spirit, though with such af1uence Of vocal
power to make il produce all the thrilling ef-
feet it should. Mr.. Edouard de Reszke as the
Wanderer; Mr.. Bispham. AIberich; Nine Nor
dica, as Briinnhilde. and Frau Schumann-Heink. as
Erda, ali among the best known and the best
Interpreters of their respective roles that this
public has and heard and their cooperation
last evening wrought most poteutly in raising the
artistic value OF the performance 10 high level.
Mr.. De Reszke was in admirable voice. and when he
is at his best he is impressive and impOs-
ing a figure the Wanderer as Wagner could
have Neutrality-suspicious. and OF truly godlke repOse.
His performance is welcome erasing from the
memory the wrongly conceived ideal left by Mr..
Van Rooy's Wotan OF last year Mr. Hubbenet as
Mime did not reach the best traditions OF this
difficult and thankless part. Mr.. Blass as Fafner
and Miss Frtzi-Schef the voice of the bird were
to their tasks here, and both made highly
favorable impression. Mr.. Damrosch has put better
work his credit than he did last evening in his
conducting. He allowed the orchestra to I'LL too
much of the tonal picture. and there was needed
more OF poetic detail and dynamic meditation to
show forth AL the wealth of beauty in Wasners
score The audience one Of the largest OF the
season. and the fact may be taken as an evidence
OF the charm exerted upon the musical public 9y
the work itself apart from the potency Of the spell
of the great singer who was kept from joining III
the performance.

AMBASSADOR WHITES PLANS.
BELIEF IN BERLIN THAT HE WILL REMAIN AT

the plans of United States Ambassador White. To-
day the ambassador said that nothing had yet been
decided regarding his stay in Berlin during the
next administration OF President Mckinley. but
that he had not handed in his resignation.
II he remains here he must leave his present
handsome quarters, his lease has expired APP
parently he does not intend to leave, he is al
ready considering offers of quarters. Those
nearest 10 him express themselves confident that
he will continue his stay during the admin
istration and that. in any event. it depends upon
himself.
Mr.. and Mrs. White may leave for a stay in
South Germany about the middle Of March TO re-
cruit the ambassadors health, but the plans have
not yet been definitely arranged.

In the brisk rivalry which has been kept up
for years between the cigarette on one side and
the combined forces of the cigar and the pipe
the other the cigarette has been assailed so
hercey by the legislatures of many States
and by the local authorities of many cities
and villages that IL seems to be losing ground
from end of this country TO the other. But
tobacco growers and tobacco dealers do not
seem to be seriously alarmed They are inclined
10 believe that If the demand for the manufact-
ured product in one form falls off, the increased
use OF the leaf in other ways will fully
pensate for the loss. Were II possible to wean
the race from its worldwide fondness for to-
hacco-as it probably never will be-what would
take its place a sOlace for leisure hours or
source OF revenue to governments? And yet it
may be remembered that no cigars We're served

SOUTH AFRICAN BOOM.
Mining Operations Being Resun ed
Around johannesburg.

NEW YORK. May B-Evdenee is,
not lacking, says the Tribune's London
correspondent that there will be a South
African mining boom before many weeks.
Johannesburg is gradually filing, the
mines are reopening. and arrangements
are making for the reorganization of the
government of the town. The reopening
or the 'haffir circus would have al
least one good result-it would engross
the attention of the capitalist class. and
allow it less leisure for Needing in the
government Of the new British colonies.
Some Of Sir Alfred Miners recent
in the Transvaal have ex-
cited much criticism The eight pow
erful groups of capitalists have been
represented too conspicuousIy in those
appointments, and a feeling of distrust
has been created, which tends to retard
the pacifeation of South Africa. It Is
said that General Botha. as soon as he
learned that Sir Alfred Miner was about
TO leave South Africa, sent a mounted
to General Kitchener with a
view to the reopening of peace negotIa-
tons. Botha wanted TO communicate
with Mr.. Kruger, but Lord Kitchener
said he could have no dealings with the
ex-PresIuent.
