but I must give him the need of praise
due him when great men in the senate
are mentioned. He is an orator of
great power, and one of the most ready
debaters thh. senate has ever known.
He is learned, and yet always learn
ing. He Is q hard worker, and his lit
erary efforts bring him in more than
5000 every year. This work is all
done, somehow, without interfering
with his senatorial work. Prejudice
against him for defeating the state
hood bill cannot blind ones eyes to his
great intellectual gifts.

not a specialist. He is one Of the most

MANlLA's WATER SUPPLY.

It's New Source to Insure Greater
Purity and Much Larger Quantity.
Manila and its outlying districts are
shortly to have a new and more ex-
tensive water supply, which will In
sure greater purity and an increase OF
quantity equal to three times the pres
ent supply, says the Manila Times.
Surveys are now in progress and are
being rapidly pushed to completion.
The surveying is under the charge OF
Major Case. formerly of the Fortieth
infantry, assisted by Captain II. II.
Pitcairn of the Forty seventh volunteer
infantry. The necessity of improving
the water supply of the metropolis has
been evident ever since the recent chol-
era epidemic. Since that time the mill
tary and constabulary have been active
in patrolling the Mariquina river from
the intake up to its source, also in
guarding the single pipe line from Ell
Deposito to the city, in order to check
mate the threats of many desperate
characters. The civil. commission, real
izing the urgent need for more per-
feet system Of supply, decided some
time ago to give the city what 1t needs
and also eliminate the hardship now
imposed upon the natives above the in
take.
These people have from time imme-
mortal looked upon the Mariquina rtv-
er as their personal property, to use
as they like, for bathing themselves.
washing their clothes, wallowing their
carabaos and draining their sewage.
The new source of supply will be
moved up the river some forty miles
and two miles or more above Montal-
ban. At the proposed point of intake
the country is unlnhabited near the
banks of the river, and the nearest
population consists of few Igorrotes,
who live well up In the foothills and
mountains, so that the danger Of a con-
tamination of the water is reduced to
a minimum.

This would not occur probably In the

is always present where the consumer

Rapid system of Electric Postal

A scheme is being promoted in Paris
for constructing a system of subter-

id transportation of mail matter and
parcel freight and express, says the
Engineering News. The proposition
has been brought to the notice of the
government, and official trials Will be
made of models. The system employs
electricity as its motive power, and its
inventors represent that they can
transport cars weighing ton over any
given distance at a speed of 100 miles
an hour. The system is styled the

A metal duct is to be constructed of
a width of not exceeding thirty inches.
which will be wide enough for double
track to accommodate trains going in
opposite directions. The cars would
be simply sheet iron cases supported
on two or four aXlcs and carrying the
electric motor. The central compart-

twenty cubic feet, would he reserved
