Of the Dalecarlia Reservoir.

Maj. Morrow, the engineer officer in
charge of the District water supply sys-
tenn, has reported to the War Depart
ment the exhaustion of the available ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the removal of
sediment from the Dalecarlia or receiving
reservoir. This sediment had been ac-
cumulating for many years, and not only
affected the purity of the water supply,
but also interfered with the proper opera
tions of the service. The construction of
a dredge In the reservoir was found nee
essary for the removal Of the deposits.
Maj. Morrow reports that 10000 cubic
yards of material were removed by dredg-
ing. and that the existing project is com
pleted. In addition TO the dredging op-
erations it was found necessary to con-
struct retaining banks and to repair the
pavements on the reservoir banks which
had been damaged by the dredging. The
only extra work now in progress is the
building of wing walls a the southern
connection of the reservoir.

Wright Brothers Possibly May Ask
for Further Extension of Time.
Condition Of Engine.

A series OF misfortunes, each trivial in
itself. but sufficiently large in the ag-
gregate TO be decidedly annoying, has
been the fate of the Wright brothers
since coming here. Their aeroplane was
repaired yesterday after cracking a
skid the day before. and there was only
a little work remaining to be done in
the afternoon, when the new piece OF
wood that was bein put in cracked
while the machine was being lifted. This
put an end to hope of fight during the
afternoon so fresh material was procured
and the repair work started anew, to be
finished today. if possible. Wilbur
Wright's warning Tuesday that expect
ant visitors would be wise to postpone
their trips to Fort Myer seemed war
ranted. Comparatively few persons jour
neyed to the fort yesterday and by the
time they arrived ii was known that the
machine would not go up. A fight will
be made this afternoon if the repairs are
completed in time.
May Ask More Time.
1t is possible that the Wrights may have
to ask for an extension of time beyond
the 2Sth instant. If they do, it is stated the
request will probably be granted, as the
army officers consider the brothers have
displayed due diligence and fealize the
accidents have been such as could not be
foreseen or guarded against. II further
extension Is granted to the WrightS 1t
is regarded as probable that A. NJ Her
ring, whose time has been extended to
August 1, will desire further delay. Such
request will probably be granted also.
1t is said that the engine of the Wright
aeroplane, which had not been developing
the requisite power, is in a much more
satisfactory condition.
