AUSTRIA AND GERMAN SUB
JECTS ADVISED TO
LEAVE ITALY.
Italian Officers of All Arms Called
to Colors-Greece May Also
Take Decisive Action.

LONDON. March 21, 1880 D. m
The relations between Italy and Aus
tria are believed TO have reached an
acute stage. A dispatch from Rome
says Austrian and German subjects
have been advised by their consuls 10
leave Italy In the shortest possible
time and that a number OF Germans
who recently arrived In Italy are be-
Ing watched because OF the suspicion
that they are military spies.
There have been reports for some
days that Germany's efforts TO secure
the continued neutrality OF Italy by
inducing Austria to cede Trent and
other territory TO her were not meet
ing with success. Italy. Il was said,
was demanding that the territory be
handed over to her at once. but that
the Teutonic allies desired TO make
the transfer after the war.
Following this came reports that
Austria had commenced STRENGTHENING
her southern frontier. and, according
TO a dispatch received I'm Paris from
Rome today. Italian officers OF all
arms belonging TO the first line. who
have been on half pay have been call
ed TO the colors. In military circles
here this order Is considered signIf1-
cant. IL being contended that these
officers belong 10 the public admins

LOOKED At THE PUMPS
SOUGHT EXPERT VIEWS
From thursdays Daily.

II. r. Blomqulst. city engineer:
George n. Bradley, city councilman,
and X. E., Brown, manager OF the
Consumers Power company, are
back from their trip to Minneapolis,
where they went yesterday TO look
into the relative merits OF the CEN
trifugal and piston pumps, with n
view TO recommending, to the city
council which should be installed at
the Mankato pumping station II any
change Is made at all from the pres
ent system OF having the pumping
done by steam power.
They went To the Minneapolis
pumping station OH the east side oil
the Mississippi river not far south OF
the city limits. Here they were cordi-
ally received by Chief Engineer York.
The visitors were informed that the
water was being pumped very salts
factorily by means OF centrifugal and
motor driven pumps. Mr.. York said
that centrifugal pumps had an effici-
pncy of siNy-nine To seventy-two per
cent Of the power that was used OH
them Each of the two pumps had
capacity Of 2O.OOOCOO gallons day.
Tho water was pumped against pres
sure OF loo pounds To the square inch.
This is the some pressure against
which the pump works at Mankato.
The reservoir is located 1T Columbia
Heights. 4 fiterlng plant Is there.
Looked Over Small Pumps.
The Mankato delegation also look
I'd over some of the smaller centrifu-
gal pumps Of the General Electric
company at Minneapolis. They were
informed that those pumps required
less attention and less repairs than
the piston pumps. They talked with
Mr. Thompson. first engineer at the
General Electric cOmpany's power
plant.
Mr.. BlomQuist remarked today that
smaller pumps. such as would be
used AT MankatO. would have a small
e. per centage OF efficiency, but the
manufacturers guaranteed an efiici-
ency OF sixty to sixty-five per cent.
The efficiency of the piston pumps is
eighty TO ninety per cent. But lie
said the up-keep cost OF the centriI-
ugal pumping plant would be less
than that OF the steam plant. He
said II might be possible TO unite
the electric motor system with a
piston pump. but then some power
would be lost in the gearing. per-
haps six TO seven per cent. AS the
gearing became old this loss Of power
would grow greater.
Mr.. BlomQuist stated that he was
not prepared 10 say just what he would :
recommend TO the city council along |
this line. He said the matter would !
be taken up with the insurance men, ,
to see how the different plans pro- |
posed would effect insurance rates
in the city, and how the insurance
men thought the various plans would :
affect the fire risks. He said II was
doubtful how the insurance compan-
les would look on the proposed new
plans in the light of their effect on
the efficiency of the fire department. :
He said this question would he taken
up with Mr.. Fisher OF Minneapolis.
representing the Fire Underwriters
association. Many points. he said,
Sad to be carefully figured out be-
fore making a decision.
