on the natal morning, destroyed some
lace curtains and window shades, but
fortunately Mrs. NJ, with an ever
serviceable dishpan of water extin-
guIshed the flames, just as they were
preparing TO reduce the whole house
10 ashes.
The water company is having the
de'ils own times with It's pipes Sun
day afternoon the l2inch iron main
at the west approach Of East bridge,
just opposite the theater, developed
fracture which necessitated shutting
oil water from a large portion of the
service, and the process Of repair WAS
retarded 10y the driving rain storm and
the approach of night.fall during one
OF the shortest days of the year. On
Tuesday, the waste WAS partially
stopped by clamping large patch of
boiler iron over the break, which was
about q foot in length extending
lengthway of the pipe. This WAS only
partial success, but it enabled con-
sumers to get supply for time and
for possibly future use. A lead joint
on the Westside main gave way Tues
day morning, said to have been caused
by increased pressure from shutting
OF the gates leading to the reservoir,
which necessitates a still further short
supply until repairs can be made. A
" sleeve joint" has since been received
from Hoquiam and the break per ma
nently repaired.
The mass meeting held in the court
room last evening to again agitate the
water supply question was anything
but success, if numbers indicate pop.
ular feeling, which was intended to be
advisory of the City Council on its
proposed action of making a new con-
tract with Mr.. Heermans. There were
just forty people in the room, by care
full count, which does not seem to be a
very fair representation Of a popula.
ton of ten thousand people and over
two thousand taxpayers. John Byrne
was chosen chairman and P. NJ. Troy
secretary. Mr.. lngham, from the
Council, stated that a satisfactory
agreement had been made with the
present water company in everything
but rates, which for the small consum-
ers was lower and the larger ones high
er than existing rates. A running
debate then ensued, at times acrimon.
ious. in which the chair took the
larger part, and it lasted about two
bours, when a vote was taken on Mil
lard Lemons resolution for the city to
construct new water works. which
stood, by rising count, II for,7 op-
posed and 16 not voting. As the meet
ing, from inception of the movement
of which it is a part, has been to sup.
plant the present company, the failure
of attendance OF more than handful
is an indication that the public
utility hobby is very poor nag.

distaste for Cuban rule, he thinks they
have acted very unwisely in the way
they have forced the issue and run the
risk of embroiling this government
with Cuba, without any ultimate good
TO themselves.
There are indication that Congress,
through the Senate, is disposed to
practice canal building itself for lit
tie while and take the matter out Of
the hands OF the President. The lit
erary secretary, or press-agent OF the
Canal as Mr.. Bishop has been called,
appear to have been the straw that
has tipped the scale and changed the
Canal status. Mr.. Bishop. it will he
remembered, az journalist was on the
editorial staff OF Republican paper,
had given the Canal question much
study, had written much about it, and
was considered by the President main.
~ on account Of his thorough acquain-
lance with the Canal enterprise. His
salary was $4,000 much more than
that of any Senator or member
OF Congress, but not more than Mr..
Bishop had been getting in New York.
Doubtless q number of Senators are
more or less angry with the President
for reasons or prejudices quite unre-
lated to the canal, as for example
Railroad Rate Liquidation, and for
various requests and favors never
granted. Senators are only human
aad when one OF them going from an
executive committee OF the Senate
said, The President will find that he
cannot build the Panama Canal by
reciting the Ten COMMANDMENTS" il
is not impossible that he may have
found the Presidents too strict adher'
ence to those Commandments in the
way of his own schemes and those Of
| his clients Dem.
