water-power in New York.

1t has been estimated that New York
State has n greater wealth in her water
power than Pennsylvania has in her coal
fields. The State has, roughly, three large
plateaus from 1,2OO to 1000 feet above
the level of the sea, with mountain peaks
5000 feet high. From Al to A inches of
rain falls on these every year, of which
about 20 inches are lost by evaporation,
and % inches more run off 1t is estimated
that the streams of the State would fur
nish about / 100000 horsepower, or more
than double the amount of horsepower
of all the steam engines used in the State,
and representing from $25,O0O,O00 to $780,
100000 worth of coal per annum. The
surface of the soil is very favorable for
the development of the water-power.

AFTER smith, brown ana Jones naQ eucu
taken their turn in handling the company,
aniAthe men in ranks were tired Of that
kind of soldering, the awkward ranks
were broken and the election of officers
was in order.
JoCKEYING FOR SHOULDER STRAPS.
Now it was that the jockeying and wire
pulling commenced. Each locality had its
favorite, and each favorite expected his
friends to stay with him for the best posi-
ton in the company. The intense parti-
sanship manifested on many occasions of
this kind resulted in failure to elect Off
GERS; and if Smith, Brown and Jones were
elected jealousy would at times prevent
their ever being able to reassemble the
ranks some going with one, some with
another.
The men composing a company in the
volunteer service were permitted to choose
their commissioned officers, providing a
satisfactory agreement could be made
among themselves. OF course this relates
to the formation Of the company prior
to muster into the United States service.
After that no choice was given to MEM
bers. The 13 non-commissioned officers
of company were chosen by the officers,
and those were likely to stand good
chance who were friends or favOrites of
Of the Captain, or First and Second Lieu
tenants. Hence ii was not an uncommon
thing in the volunteer service that officers
of every rank were men badly qualified.
Strife and bartering for position was not
confined to. company organizations, but
regiments often suffered delay in OrganiZa-
ton on this account.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The Bookbinders Union of this city gave out an authorized statement regarding the controversy with which A. Miller. assistant foreman of the bookbindery of the government print by Public Printer Palmer on the ground that he was a non-union man and after ward reinstated upon order of the Presi- dent
 The bookbinders claim that when Miller first entered the service he made misrep- resentations to the effect that he had served a full apprenticeship which they claim he had not done, and they repeat the charges of marital Irregularities They explain at length the grounds for Miller's expulsion from the union which they saw was due to the fact that he made misrepresentation to Congress con- corning the work done at the government printing office with a view to securing a reduction of the nay of the binders. On this point they say: He was granted fair and impartial trial by his peers. He was given every right and privilege accorded by the constitution he had obligated himself to conform and and sup evidence that he had outrageously violated his obligations was so convinc- ing and overwhelming that he was de- nounced as unfit for membership in an organization composed of self-respecting men and they expelled him therefrom."
 They also deny as untrue the claim made by Miller that he has increased the output of his division at reduced cost.

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS
GOVERNOR OF LEPER COLONY GUILTY OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE
For Failure to Observe Simplest and Most Necessary Precautions. He is Removed from
 Office.

San Juan, P. R., Aug. 22.-Acting Gov ernor Hartzell has suspended Dr. Mater, superintendent of the leper colony and Jose Aldrich, his assistant on the strength of report of acting Director of Charities Geonaga, revealing a horrible and danger ous state of affairs at the entrance of San Juan harbor. According to this re- port chickens and pigs raised by lepers had been freely sold in the city and goats. rabbits, poultry and dogs had been herded in the patients quarters in indes- cribable filth. Some of the lepers had no clothing. 1t was added that paper money was circulated in the leper colony and that as this money might possibly be used in other parts of the island 1t was considered dangerous as likely to cause spread of leprosy. Intercourse between the leper colony and the mainland has been permitted. An old man who was not a leper was confined in the colony for years. All the regulations were violated. No physician's books or finan- cial books showing the state of the patients funds were kept.
 Aldrich has been arrested on the crimi- nal charge of transporting chickens from the leper colony and has been fined $50. Acting governor has ordered all animals in the leper colony to be killed today and has declared that he vii probe the scandel to the bottom and that none of the guilty shall escape.
 Only the prompt action of Mir. Hart zell has checked the reign of terror In San Juan. caused by the discovery of the chicken incident and the public are loud in their praises of the determined stand he had taken.
 The inhabitants of the city are much excited and are eager for further de- tails as heretofore.
