We. the Waterworks Committee OF

that We have personally inspected

We are confident that by making
the improvements as herein outlined
that the said dam will need no fur

time lasts. A smaller amount OF mon.

TOXIC SAYS ONLY mANEuvERs
Fleets Mission Believed to Be in Con-
nection With Tatsu Maru Incident,
China Reports Progress in Reach
ing Settlement Of That Affair-Will
Pay Indemnity.

Hong Kong, March 14-Information
has been received here from Formosa
that the first Japanese naval squadron
will sail today on secret service. The
cruisers Yaumo, Akitsushima and
Asama and fotilla of smaller vessels
have been coaled and ready to sail at
a minutes notice since March Z. At
Sasebo, the naval station, everything
Is exceedingly busy. The Tatsu af-
fair has caused sensation in the
navy, and some action in this depart.
ment is surmised.
A dispatch from Toxic March 8 an
.nounced that part of the first Japanese
naval squadron was to leave port ON
March IA. Coaling and other prepara-
tions for the departure were proceed-
ing rapidly. At the office of the adj
rniralty in Toxic it was declared the
squadron was about to begin a series
of maneuvers. 1t was pointed out fur
tner that this fact was announced two
months ago that therefore the actlv-
ity at Sasebo should not necessarily
be considered in connection with the
difficulty with China arising from
the Maru incident.

eRAFrERs ARE CONVICTED.
Pennsylvania Capitol Scandal Case R,

Pennsylvania Capitol Scandal Case Re-
suits in verdicts of Guilty.
Harrisburg, Pa, March 14.-All the
defendants in the notorious Pennsyl-
vania state capitol graft case We're
found guilty at s:53 o'clock last night,
when the jury completed it's delibera-
tions.
The state Of Pennsylvania has been
swindled out of about s9,000,000 in the
erection of its magnificent capitol An
effort was made by the defense to prove
that there were sno overcharges--in
some instances 200 to 500 per cent This
was unsuccessful.
Penitentiary sentences await four
"conspirators" in the notorious graft
case.
The convicted men are:
John II. Sanderson, a Philadelphia
furniture dealer and contractor; for
mer Auditor General w. P. Snyder,
former State Treasurer w. L. Mat
thues and James NJ. Shumaker, for
mer superintendent of the board Of
grounds and buildings, charged with
defrauding the state.
The arguments were concluded, and
Yesterday Judge Kunkel gave fin
al instructions to the jurors, who
have listened to testimony and speech
es since Jan 81. The present case
constituted one of the longest jury
trials in the history of Pennsylvania
courts, and it attracted much atten-
tion thruout the state.
The prosecution of the alleged capi-
tol frauds is the Indirect outcome of the
great political upheaval in Philadelphia
in 1905, which resulted in the fall of
that year in the election of w. H.
Berry. democrat, to the office Of state
treasurer. After Berry took office he
startled the people of the state by
charging that the books of the state
treasury showed that the capitol, in-
stead of costing s4oo0,OoO, had aetu-
ally cost $4,000.
A legislative investigation followed
and the findings of the investigators
