TO OPEN MAIN
Several Hundred Cellars Filled with
Water Because of the OBJ
struction.

After three days and two nights
of frantic effort, blockade of a
sewer main on Thirtieth street was
removed at 1890 O'Clock last night.
Between 200 and 800 families
were affected by the stoppage of
the sewer, and the cellars of as
many homes were filled with water,
resulting in the loss of hundreds
of dollars worth of food and coal,
stored for the winter. Soon after
the obstruction was removed from
the pipe, the cellars were free Of
water, and there were expressions
of gratitude from all sides. The
city viii have all the cellars wash
ed out and disinfected to preclude
the possibility of infection.
The sewer main was tapped in
three places before the source of
the trouble was found The last
opening was made at Fifth avenue
and Thirteenth street last night,
the sticks were inserted and the
obstruction was found three feet
south Of the opening.
A wad of leaves was removed.
and Immediately there was a rush
of water which filed the hole to
depth of five feet. Leaves and
sand were main cause OF the trou-
BILE.
Failing to effect an opening
Thursday, the aid of the fire de-
partment was enlisted and an en-
CINE pumped water all Of Thurs
day night, but to no avail.

Senator Mckinley made his maid
en- speech in the United States SEN
ate this week in support of the
treaty of peace with Germany. On
the final rOll-caIl Senators McRfn-
ley and Mccormick voted for rati-
ncauon or the pact, both taking
the ground that the acceptance of
me treaty will stabilize world con-
dldons and operate toward a re-
sumption of trade between this
country and Europe
Senator Mckinley in his address
urged that the United States main
tam its present quota of troops on
the kline, denying that the soldiers
are homeslck" for a return to
American shores.
l have visited Europe three
ames during the past So months, -"
senator Mckinley said" and have
formed this impression: Leaving
out entirely the moral side, the
world interests of the United States
are too great, the world itself too
small, and the means of communi-
cation too quick and easy for rs to
stand by and say to Europe. Go to
1t and fight it out; it is none of our
affair."
IF keeping 5000 American SOL
dlers on the Rhine will tend to
restore the equilibrium in Europe
and bring back a market for the
excess products of the United
States. it seems to me a good bust
ness investment to keep that Amer
lean representation over there
nations abroad toward the Amer
ican troops, the Illinois senator
said:
THE French, the Belgians. the
British-in fact, all the allied ma
tons-want US to be represented
because, so long as there is one
American soldier on the Rhine. it
IS notice TO the world that the
American people will stand for no
more wars of ambition or agrees
sion, and that one soldier will be
backed by 100000 or 10000 900
more if necessary. TO maintain the
peace of the world"
