IN TIE HOUSE.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE House will
begin !he second week of the session
with the consideration of private pen
sion bills. Monday having been made
pension day.
On Tuesday, the resolution opened by
the judiciary committee to impeach
Charles Swayne. judge of the northern
district of Florida. will come before
the House as special order. its con-
siiCration having been deferred by a
resolution at the last session to that
day and authority given the Judiciary
committee to take further testimony.
All the evidence taken, including that
heard since the last session has been
printed for the use of members of the
House. A supplemental report has
ben submitted 10 TIE House by the jul
dietary committee, advising the House.
of the additional testimony.
1t is probable that the appropriations

CARLETON POND
Will Furnish Augusta
Water Supply.
China Lake Too Far Away and
Silver Lake Too Small.
Charter Will Have to Be Amended to
Include the New Source.

IT talking with 4 trustee of the Au.
gusta Water District, Saturday. in re.
gard to the progress made by them to-
wards obtaining new and pure water
supply for Augusta. ne said that tn
board of trustees had given the various
possible water sources careful and ex-
haustive examination. They find that i;
is impracticable to take water from any
of the ponds on the east side OF tn
kennebec river. an1 that the cost of
going to China lake removes that
source of supply.
A great deal of time and expense has
been devoted to the Silve, lake source.
but after a most thorough investiga-
ton the trustees have relunctantly
been forced to abandon that source on
account of an insufficient supply of
water.
And now. after four months of tests
by competent engineers. the trustees
nave practically concluded to go to
Carleton pond. as a source which will
furnish sufficient supply of pure wa
ter.
This pond, which is situated in the
towns of Winthrop and Readiield. east
Of the Stanley road, covers an area of
about two hundred (20O) acres. and has
a depth equal to Silver lake. with a
gravel and sandy bottom and shore.
Carleton pond is eight and one fourth
$50 miles from the reservoir in Au-
gusta and has an elevation Of about
tive feet above the reservoir.
The trustees of the Water District
have given the subject OF a pure water
supply constant attention. and are
working with view Of having the ma
terial here and commencing work as
soon as feasible in the spring, hoping
70 have the new source of pure water
supply for Augusta by the close of an
other season
1t VIII be necessary for the trustees
to ask the Legislature, when it assem-
bles, for some new legislation in order
to enable the Water District to go to
Carleton POND for water.

scene Of the accident.
Until the investigation has been
made it is beyond the province of any
one to say just where lies the blame.
When the first reports came in there
was much question as to whether the
conductor Of the electric ear had gone
ahead ard looked up the track to see
il the line was clear, many arguing
that if this had been done there would
have been no crash. 1t was learned
later that the rules OF the Portland
Railway do not require this. The rule
is that on a diagonal crossing where

18th CONGRESS-.
Two important Events
Scheduled for Week.
Senate will Decide Philippine
Civil Government, Friday.
Swayne impeachment Case COMING Up
in the House.

washington, Dec. 1.-THE PRINCIPAL
events scheduled for the Senate during
The present week is the taking of the
vote on the Philippine civil govern
inent bill which is set down for 9
O'Clock. FRIDAY. Under the agreement
TO vote the bill remains the unfinished
business OF the Senate until that date
and 1t will have preference of all other
questions in matter of debate each dav
after O'Clock.
After the vote on the Philippines
FRIDAY. the Senate Will adjourn until
the following Monday. and it is con-
sidered doubtful whether much more
business OF general Importance will be
undertaken until after Christmas. 1t
rad been the original intention of the
senate to press for an adjournment as
early as the 1th inst, but there is now
manifest q disposition to allow the
House to have its way in fixing the
dat" for the 21st, even though the Sen
ate remains only technically in session
as Will be the case, seeing no import
ant outlook.
1t is the intention not to transact
much business other than the Philip
pine legislation during the present
week. senator Hepburn, Monday. will
make an effort to secure considera ton
OF the pure food bill. but if he succeeds
in getting it before the Senate it will
not be seriously proceeded with before
the holidays. 1t is believed that the
statehood bill will not be reported from
the committee before the holidays.
The vacancies on the Senate commit
tees probably viii be filled during the
Week.
