Shortly afterward Superintendent Walling offered a guard of police, and before ncon Colonel Baker, representing Secretary Lincoln, asked the liberty of detailing a company of United States soldiers to act as anescort. Senor de Lome declined each of the offers, saying that 1t was the widow's wish to have the funeral as qulet as pos- sible. ‘The remains were taken to the vessel Nor- mandie, ‘The remains will be taken directly from Havre to Madrid, where state funeral services will ‘be held.

ADVANTAGES OF THE TUNNEL AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE SURFACE CONDUIT PLAN OF CONSTRUCTION SET FORTU—WHY. HIRED IAPOR IS PREFERRED TO THE CONTRACT SYSTEM FOR THE WORK—THE PRO- POSED NEW RESERVOIR, ETC, In the beginning of bis report on the water works extension, an abstract of which was printed in yesterday’s Stan, Major Lydecker quotes the act authorizing that extension and the plan or project it presents. Witheut going into minute detalls, the report states that the subject of ex- tending the aqueduct from its present terminus to the high ground north of Washington, where the ew reservoir 1s to be located, has beon given most careful study. ADVANTAGES OF THE TUNNEL PLAN SET FORTH. He submits that “the construction of a tunnel from the distributing reservoir to the hich ground named will accomplish the destred object in the best and most substantial manner, at the least cost and in the shortest time practicable. There is no reasonable doubt that this tunnel cin be car- Tied through soll1 rock in a direct line between the terminal points, and with the perfected ma- chinery of the present day its construction would become a simple piece of engineering work. The cost and rate of proress would depend almost en- Urely on the character of machinery in use and on the degree of intelligence with which the work is directed. Based on the known cost of completed Work of like character, elzht dollars per cubic Yard for the excavation would be an outside est!- Mate; it would, in all probability, cost less. ‘The length of tunnel wilt be about 21,400 feet, re- quiring “a total excavation, Including shafts, of about 66,250 cuble yards ‘Estimated at $8 ‘per Cubic yard, the total cost reaches about $530,000, leaving a balance of the amount appropriated (thé Act appropriates $599,534.55 for the aqueduct ex- tension) of $70,000 avaliable for contingencles, such for instance as lining for the tunnel wherever found necessary, It the tunnel can be driven in solid rock (and every indication favors this as- sumption), it 1s apparent that we can rely with certainty Upon a continuous progress of the work of construction, regartless of season or weather; upon its permanence, without expenditure for re- Pairs, and upon its easy subsequent enlargement at small expense. OBJECTIONS TO A SURFACE CONDUIT. The only alternative to a tunnel would be a sur- face conduit, which would offer none of the advan- tayes referred to above, while the natural features would require a very considerable increase in its length, in order to avoid excessive excavations and complicated engineering @ifficuities, such as Would follow its constructiomdn a direct line. Be- sides, the surface conduit w@uld demand the ap- Propriation of a coutinuougstrip of land, which Would not be the case if the Work is made entirely in tunnel, and iv 1s very doubtful if the land could Bs aaateon for the sumallotted for that purpose,” 1, “with these views,” says Major Lydecker, “T have no hesitation in recommending the adoption of the tunnel system, leaving minor detalls to be determined upon after obtaining the conclusive data that will be supplied in sfiking the initial shaft at the site of the new reservoir. If compact, solid rock 1s not reached within a reasonable limit the project can be modified before arriving at any ¢Xpenditure approximating that which would have been required for a series Of preliminary bearings suMcient to warrant a positive solution of the question, THE WORK SHOULD BE DONE BY HIRED LABOR, and the purchase of materials in open market, a8 that Is tne only way in which its rapid and eco- nomical construction can be obtained. The char- acter of the work 1s such that its details must ‘na Inarked degree be determined during Its progress, and they cannot be intelligently specitied before hand. The contingenctes involved belng matters of speculation would advance a contract to the highest probable figures, 19 this way forbidding to the work any possible due to the absence of suspected dimiculties. preasing demand for the immediate beginning:bf, the work and its ace complishment in the shor/vst ‘possible perio} and in the most perfect manné: are opposed to delays necessary for advertisement and awards, attended by the risk of getting fina¥y-an ineflcient or irre- sponsible contractor, Thé werk is so extensive and requires so much outiay for proper machinery that itis doubtful if any competing bidder would possess the requisite capital, experience and en- ergy.” THE SITE TOR THE WEW RESERVOIR 1s next described—in the depreasion east of the grounds of Howard university and the area to be Procured 1s 66 acres, It cannot now be stated Whether the sum appropriatedis suMictent or not (the sum appropriated 1s $35,250), In the reservoir, 80 located, the excavation ‘and embankment re- quired in its construction are equalized as nearly as practicable, being approximately 500,000 cubic Faras The sum appropMatod (431,278.75) 13 be- leved to be ample. This work will be done by contract after advertising Ii the usual way, RAISING THE DAM AP GREAT FALLS, Detailed plans for ral and extending the dam at Great Falls have not yet been prepared. ‘The work will be similar to the present dam and will be carried on by hired Ixbor and purckases in open market.

AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE BROTHERHOOD. The rooms of the brotherhood at the onal hotel were well flied to-day with the strikers, and there uppeared io be no lack of backbone. The fact that the skirmishers succeeded in capturing the W. U. operator at the B, & P. depot this morning gave them some encouragement, this being the second W. U. man picked up at the depot stand. Itwas pay day up to the Western Union office to-day. The proceeds of the base ball game and the excursion Monday last foot up about $400. THE STRIKERS NOT DISCOURAGED. “Are the boys discouraged at all?” a Star re- porter asked of one of the leading strikers to-day. “Not a bit,” sald the striker. “We had the lar- gest meeting last night that we have had at any time during the strike. Yesterday the Western Unton company brought three men here and we captured teem all.” AN ALLEGED DESERTER. “It ts stated that there has been a deserter from your ranks,” sald the réporter. “Yes,” laughed the operator, “there was a young Doy—you can hardly call him an operator—who earned $20 a month. He ts a good boy, and insisted upon golng out with the Strikers. His father, how- ever, threatened to take him to Baltimore and make lim learn the machinist’s trade If he did not go to work, $0 he went back. He came to us with tears in his eyes and told us about it. We couid Not encourage him to disobey his father.” “Whatis there in the reports avout operators cutting and obstructing wires in other cities?” asked the reporter. “J don’t know where the reports come from, but don’t believe them,” sald the operator. “I am sure that the Washington assembly would expel any man caught doing such a thing.” AID FOR THE STRIKERS. Capt. A. D. Bgock, in behalf of the telegraphers, has made a canvass of the Government Printing Office for subscriptions for the telegraphic strikers, and has received a total of $317.

THE MOVEMENT TO PROVIDE FOR A SYSTEMATIC LAYING OUT OF STREETS AND AVENUES TO CON- FORM TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN OF THE CITY. The District Commisstoners, in reply to a pett- tion of 8. P. Brown and others, asking that In the ‘extensions of the city northward the original plan of the city be observed in laying out the streets, &c., say: “That the views of the petitioners are in entire accord with those expressed by the Com- missioners and engineers of the District in the annual reports frem 1879 to date; that since 1880 a small appropriation has been annually made for the purpose of making surveys with reference to the extensions of streets and avenues t) the Dis- trict line.” These surveys have now covered about one-fourth of the area of the District, and include the territory just north of the city where the irregular and unsymmetrical sub-divisions re- ferred to by the petitioners are being most ex- tensively made. Thedata compiled by the sur- veys 1s being compiled into a map at the present time, which will probably be completed within the ext three months. On the maps the proper sub-divistons for the territory covered by it should be indicated, and if the plants approved by Con- gress a law should be passed to compel future sub- divisions to conform toit.
