New York, January 10.-If President Mckinley had not forbidden it, Gen. Adna R.

 He knew exactly the location of this treasure in the forbidden city, and had planned to take possession of it, he said, when the President vetoed the proposi- ton. It was his intention to hold out any amount that might be settled upon as q proper indemnity and return the remain der to the Chinese government.
 We and the Japanese had the honor of guarding the gate to the forbidden city," said General Chaffee, "and so have had to endure the modification of having been charged with allowing great ! amount of footing but it is a fact that the forbidden city was not footed to the amount of $500.
 within those walls, however, was the greatest treasure in the Chinese empire, including the jewels of the Empress Dowager So great was it's volume that it took hundred Chinese soldiers twenty days to transport it from the inner palace to the house where it was secreted. This was done by night the soldiers taking roundabout and little-used streets to reach their destination. and if it hsd set been for the enterprise of an American, whom will not name, and for the venali ty and greed of the Chinese soldier in command of the proceeding, the secret might never have become known.

Washington January 10. = Secretary Moody has been called upon to pass judg- ment on one of his own acts when a member of congress While representing the Sixth district of Massachusetts he introduced q bill to remove the charge of desertion from the record of Charles Amos, one of his constituents. The bill was referred to the house committee on naval affairs and has just been taken up for consideration by that committee.
 Following the practice in such cases
 the bill was referred to the secretary of the navy for examination and report. It was received today and, still following the routine practice, was referred to the judge advocate general If that officer should make an adverse report Secretary Moody might be placed in an embarrass- ing position as he could not consistently decide that bill for which he had as stunned responsibility was without merit.

 Water Works Question.
 "The question of municipal ownership of a water works system is a very serious one, and affects not only Birmingham put the entire county. I think it wouiu pe infinitely better if the legislature Woulo give increased powers to the courfy saili- tatlon commission, and let that pous' Il" which I have the greatest conhdehce' sift the entire matter to sound business basis and give it's opinion, dnd in my judgment the commission will determine that the county and city together shouiu build a water works system that VIII pe sufficiently large to make the grand trunk sewer a great success and give sufficient water to all the towns aoJacehe to Birmingham. My idea is, as the entire county is to be benefited, the city of Dr. mingham should not be taxed with the cost of building water works system sufficiently large for the county.
 "I think Birmingham has sufficient water supply at present, and am aware that larger supply will be heeded In the future; but this matter should be most carefully considered and investigat- ed on business principles. In my Judg- mcnt, the entire county is interested in the matter, and if Birmingham should have an epidemic of any kind, as cholera in 1873, it would effect the whole county.
 "The bonded indebtedness of the city is nearly two and half millions Of dol lars, and the bonds for water works system would be an increased burden. l don't think the city alone should assume this burden; but if the commission should decide it was a good thing the county should join with the city in se- curing it"
