Washington, March 29.-Representa-
tive Corliss, of Michigan, was given
hearing before the house committee
on judiciary Friday on his resolutions
directing the attorney general to in
stitute proceedings against the Com
mercial Cable company for alleged
combination with other companies.
Mr.. Corliss declared that there had
been deliberate violation of the laws
against combination, and that the eff
feet was to advance the cost of cable

word.
Chairman Ray said the resolution
amounted to direction by congress to
the attorney general to do his duty,
when there was nothing to show he was
remiss in his duty or knew anything
about the matter. He suggested that
Mr.. .Corliss should go first to the at
torney general. Mr.. Corliss remarked
that he had not come to be advised as
to what he should do, but merely to be
heard on a state of facts. If there was
to be no action he desired to have the.
committee share in the responsibility
for non-action.
The committee then went into ex-
ecutive session and unanimously re-
ported against the resolution on the
ground that Mr.. Corliss had not pre-
sented a case calling for the action

Back of the purchase lies a very pretty
little Christmas story. Riverside chapel

to the needy of the city, bringing to their
Christmas entertainment such supplies as
they could afford. One beg, Having de-
sire to get something, set out to search
for coal along the railroad tracks. His
efforts resulted in the collection of three
pounds of this years much sought black
diamonds. These he took to the enter
tainnnent last evening little thinking that
his coal would prove one of the most val
liable contributions of the evening. He
did not even take the trouble to leave
his name and for that reason it cannot
be given. -~.s>a

INCREASE IN INCOME
Shown by the Report of the City
Water Department to the
City Council:
Receipts for the Year About $780,
000-Per Capita Consumption
= Is Decreasing.

Registrar Frank J. Moody of the city
water department, has about completed
his annual report. His department is
one of the few revenue producing offices
and the reports are the more interesting
on that account That the year which
closes to-day was a profitable one is
shown from the following: ~ -. g.. =
1.-THE water department during the
year has sustained the customary in
crease in all lines except the extension of
new water mains, this branch Of the de-
partment did very little compared with
former years. The cause for this was the
extra ordinary expense incurred in build
ing the new Northeast pumping station,
there being no available funds for pipe
laying. The approximate collections Of
the water department for water, etc., dur
ing the year will be $240,00O, an increase
of $4,000 over the previous year.. There
were laid 1-5 miles Of new mains, max
ing a total of 275 miles in the city. The
previous year there were 1854 miles laid.
There were set twenty EIGHT new fire
hydrants, making a total of 1887 now
available for fire protection. Twenty
two new gates were set, making 2,363 in
the city. $50 D.. 49,.
There were pumped during the year
approximately 7,036000, 900 gallons Of
water, being per. capita use Of IS gall
Ions. In this connection it can be said
that the per capita use has gradually de-
creased from about 1875 gallons to the
present figures. This result has been OBJ
tanned from various causes, the waste Of
water has been curtailed to a great extent
by the quite general use Of water meters,
there being now about 5000 in use in this
city, or about 80 la per cent of all taps.
OF the above number 1900 meters was set
during the year. a- ..~51 Il.
{ The new Northeast pumping station is
now nearing completion and it is hoped
that the city can be supplied from this
source during the coming season, the cost
OF the station to date has been s1S1, 1873. So;
of this amount s126,s55.1s has been ex-
pended during the year, contracts have
been awarded for two Holly engines for
pumping, each having capacity of 49,
100000 gallons Of water each twenty four
hoursA The cost of these pumps will be
