WATER QUESTION
A Flat Rate is inc Only Thing to Settle It For Good Some L-
 People Think.

The water question is still with us and it is likely to remain until it is finally disposed of by the adoption of a flat rate. Whether that will put an end to the wrangle is something that will not be known until the public has had trial of it. Under the pres ent system substantial reduction has been made to the small consum- CTS, but the change almost doubles the price to those who use water in large quantities and while no protests have been made in public way it is safe to predict that they think the bills bulky enough now and would be apt to make big "holler' if another change should be made which would make it still higher on the factories. In the discussion which took place last night it was suggested that if possible change should be made which would reduce the present price to the small and the large consumer, but it appears to be very hard to do this and raise sufficient revenue to meet the running expenses of the de- uartment. A flat rate of one cent per one hundred gallons would do it, but whether this would meet the cost of maintaining the system is something nobody appears to know, but such in formation can be obtained from Su- perintendent Kennedy and the com mittee appointed to state the case to the city fathers should inquire into that before they call upon the powers that be.

LITTLE TO SAY
Military Men Are OUmbfouDded By the Situation in the / %,- .. 5E
 (. N. G.
UNUSUAL CONDITIONS

New. Haven, Conn.,, Nov. S.-Mili- tary men have very little to say in regard to the claim of the brigade or ganization of the Connecticut Ma tional Guard that the repeal of Sec tions 3OO6, 3OO7, 3OOS and 3OO9 in 1905 virtually legislated out of exist ence the officers of the regimental company and other infantry bodie: and the battery of artillery, although it is admitted that interest is keen over the situation. The military blue book for 1907 does not contain the four sections mentioned, the sections jumping from 3004 to 3010. It Is pointed out that the officering of the infantry commands of the state was provided for in general orders from the adjutant generals office under date of March 12, 1906, which in ef- feet is a promulgation of the law as brought into conformation with the acts of the general assembly of the previous year. These orders set forth that the organization of the National Guard of Connecticut shall be under the command of a briga- dier-general, whose staff shall con- sist of one assistant adjutant-gen- eral with rank of l1eutenant-colonel; one inspector with rank of major; one judge advocate with the rank of major; one quartermaster with the lank of major; one commissary with rank of major; one inspector of small arms practice and ordnance officer with rank of major; two aides de camp with rank of captain, all to be nominated by the brigadier-g gen eral, who may also enlist the follow ing: One trumpeter with the rank of sergeant-major; two orderlies with the rank of sergeant; two or derlies with the rank of corporals.
 The brigadier-general is to be ap- pointed by the governor with con- sent of senate.
 The regimental and battalion off, cers iand staff and on-commissioned staff shall be as follows: For each regiment, one colonel, one lieutenant colonel, one adjutant (captain) one quartermaster,- (captain) one con- missary (captain) one inspector small arms practice (captain) and one chaplain. The non-coms are to be: one sergeant major and one quar. termaster sergeant, one commissary sergeant, two color. sergeants. For the battalion the officers shal be: ono major, one adjutant, one quartermas- ter, one commissary and one sergeant major.
 It is stated that theduties of the special board of officers which has just made report to the effect that the brigade organization was legis- lated out of existence, were to see if the organization of the National Guard as set forth in the orders of March 12, 1906, conformed to the re- quirements of the national law un- der the so-called Dick bill. It finds that there is no authority for brigadier-general, as the Dick bill does not provide for a brigade or ganization in the National Guard.

HILL WILL BE NAMED

 to Berlin.

Washington, Nov. S:-Secretary Root announced to-day that DaVld Jayne Hill,. American minister to the Netherlands, and former assistant secretary of state, will be named as ambassador to Berlin to succeed MT Tower, who is about to retire on ac- count of ill health MT Hill has had great experience in the diplomatic service. He speaks German fiuently and it is said his appointment will give great satisfaction to Germany. President Roosevelt first offered the post to Assistant Secretary Bacon, who declined it, as he preferred to remain at his present position at the state department.

ROOT OUT OF RACE.
Member of Cabinet Who Has Had
 Enough of Politics.

Washington, D. G., Nov S.-The boom for the republican presidential nomination for Secretary Root, start. ed by Senator Scott of West Virginia has been nipped in the bud by the secretary of state himself. To in quiring friends he has stated that he will shortly retire from public life and again go back to the legal pro- fession, in which he distinguished himself for many years.
 MT Roots health and his disin- clination to remain in public life are the basis of his present intention to retire as qickly as possible. He IS not a sick man in the sense of being organically unsound. He has, how ever, worked so hard that his nerv- ous system is in anything but a sat isfactory condition. Rest and exer- else for month the last summer ben efited him much, but resumption of arduous mental work has brought on a return of the symptoms. His clos est friends have informed him that he needs rest; at any rate change, which he can find to better advan- tage in his law offices than any other way. He is of the same opinion.
 Elimination of MT Root from the contest for New York's delegates to the next national convention narrows the fight down to Hughes and Cor telyou, assuming that the governor of the state will permit his friends to go into the scramble. The presi- dent, it may be stated on excellent authority, is by no means averse to Cortelyou having the delegation if he can get it without such a fight as would be detrimental to the party The president will not try to force his Taft preferences upon New York, where, strangely enough, he apparently has less influence than in any other state in the country. If Taft cannot be nominated in the next convention he will, as 1t now looks, have no objections to Cortel- you, and the latter would make a splendid start with the votes of New York back of him.

EARLY MORNING FIRE,
Arthur Griswold Awoke to Find
 House in Flames.

About 2:30 o'clock this morning Arthur Griswold of Pearsallville was awakened by the barking of his house dog and after a short investigation discovered that the building was on fire. Word was telephoned to the Burton street engine house and the firemen went up there and extin- guished the flames, using water from the Forest park pond, which was forced on the blaze by means of the engine. The damage will amount to between S6O0 and $700. Chief Snagg says he thinks the fire started in a closet under the stairway. It made quite blaze and many thought that the building was reduced to ashes. but this was not so.
