FALL OF ROCKS IN THE TUNNEL—THE WANT OF FUNDS INCREASING THE COST OF THE WORK. Major Lydecker, in his report to the chiet of engineers on the operations for increasing the water supply of Washington during March, states that no work was done on the dam at Great Falls, No work was done towards com- pleting the tunnel, and operations were limited to pumping to keep the tunnel free from flood- ing during the suspension of progressive work, which has continued for two months. A recent inspection shows that considerable falls of rock have taken place in the drift from the east shalt and tn places a gradual erumbling and, slipping of the rock is reported. ‘The liability of injury resulting from these causes will prob- ably Increase with the period of suspension of ‘operations, and the ultimate cost of the work is correspondingly tncreased, for every yard of ‘this falling rock must be removed and replaced by masonry and stone packing, During April it ls expected that in the absence of funds operations will be substantially the same as during March, Work on all parts of the reservoir was car- ried on during the month. On the 30th and Bist one of the heaviest raintalls experienced since the beginning of the work occurred, the water accumulating to such an extent that for seventy-eight hours the 12-inch drain pipe ran full. It is expected to proceed with the Work in all parts during April.

The Controversy in the Ascension Par- ‘The members of the vestry of Ascension chureh, who voted for the resolution adopted by the vestry January 26th last, calling upon Rey. J. H, Elliott, rector ot Ascension parish to resign, have prepared, published and circulated among the pew holders astatement of their complaints against the rector. At the Easter Monday election, when the successors of four of the present vestry will be chosen, the members of the parish will decide by their votes whether they will sustain the action of the majority of the vestry, or the rector. ‘The statement which has been circulated is intended to inform mem- bers of the parish of the reasons that influenced the majority of the vestry in asking for the rector’s resignation, It reviews at length what has been done at the various meetings of the vestry since January, and has already been given to the public through Tie Srar, and | presents @ statement of the financisl affairs of thechurch during the thirteen years that Rev. Mr. Elliott has been successively associate rec~ torand rector. A table sho the revenues of the chureh during those years is as follow In 1874, $4,164.90; in 1875, $4,147.61; in 1876, $6, 374-055 10 1877, $5.7: in 1878, 879, 35,507.0) 7,530.3 35,984.0 $5,670.93, and in 1885, $5, ment asserts that the revenues during the past two years fell short by $500 of the expendi- tures. The statement urges “that withouta vitalizing anew of the parochial intere: parish will ere long have but a memor: jormer prosperity and harmony.” In to theassertion that the building debt bad de- terred many from becoming members of the parish the statement gives figures to show thi Of the 132 holders of pews or seats eighty-five have been added to the church during the past five years, when the agitation of the debt was | active, and during the past three years, when | the agitation was at its height, the nunber.of | additions has been seventy-five.’ Still, torsome | cause, it Is argued, the church cannot those’ who from time to time join it. “W is the cause?” is asked. “It has not been th debt, for, as already shown, the great majority ot your present number has been added to the parish in spite of thedebt. Not to delay ai Swer to this we reply: The present rector of the parish is this cause. What are the qualities of the successful rector of a parish such as ours? For answer, recall your late beloved and still lamented bishop. To test our rector by the high standard of his predecessor may be con- ceded scarcely fair; buvhow near the adminis: tration of hischarge has approached that stand- ard we may yet inquire.” Complaint is made of the action of the rector in various ma ters. It is alleged that after being refused an associate rector by the vestry, on the ground that it was not needed and the ‘ministrati the church in respect of religious servic not seem so burdensome as to require more than one person to discharge, Dr. Elliott ap- ied from the pulpit to the congregation, ask- ing Voluntary contributions tosupport an assist- ant, It is charged, also, azainst the rector, that at the last Easter Monday election, after one meeting had organized and elected certain ves- trymen the rector organized a new meeting and had chosen acertain vestryman in place ofageu- | tleman whom the rector dislixed. It is alleged that the rector has, in various ‘reprehensible ways, asserted and miaintained his dominance in the parish; that from time to time there have been created between bim and individual | members of the vestry strained relations to the | extent even ot involving questions of veracity; that it has been the rector's practic of foresta’ ing the action of the vestry asa body by inte: viewing beforehand those of its members whom | he thought safe to approach; that he sought to | accomplish the severance of the official relation to the parish of an incutnbent, whose positio: as he has admitted, he intended rendering distasceful as to provoke a resignation, and that the existence of a pastor in the parish is all but | unknown to the hearts and homes of the gre: body of the parishoners. The statement closes | by saying: “From considerations that must | suggest themselves to all, and make even this | tardy discharge of our duty more painful than there is need to say, we have until now endured | and overlooked ull that is here suggested, but | in the light of more recent events. and feeling that we have at last arrived at a point at whien our continued silence could no longer com- mand the approval of our consciences, as it long ceased to command that of our judgme We reiterate the declaration of our resolution: “Phat in the opinion of this vestry the Interests ot the parish will be best subserved by a change An its rectorship.’” ‘THE MINORITY PREPARING A REPLY. The minority members of the vestry of Ascension church propose to prepare a reply to the statements addressed by the majority to the members of the parish. ‘This reply will be | ready in a few days, and one of the minority | said to a Sra reporter that the figures giv. show the decay of the chureh could easily shown to be Incorrect. It could be shown, on | the other hand, that since the debt question has been settled the church has grown and. pro red. “The statement prepared by the ma- Jority,” he continued, “white It Is well written, is mere wind, and we will show that it is such,” sets imo Women as Senators. MR.EUSTIS DOESN'T WANT FEMALE COLLEAGUES, In the Senate yesterday Mr. Eustis offered an amendment to the Washington Territory bill to restrict suffrage,if the Territory be admitted, to male citizens, He made a humorous speech against woman suffrage. He said the bill clearly recognizes the right of female suffrage in Washington Territory, and if passed the Senate migut have a woman knocking at_its doors with full credentials as Senator. She ight be admitted, said Mr. Eustis, and that would solve the problem of secret sessions. He also intimated that it would be difficult to get information as to the precise age of ladies com- ing into publie lite. nator Beck said, soto voce, that the ques- in S624: S67 st 1ss0, in 18s4, ‘The stat + tion of retirement on account of age would never arise. ‘Mr. Eustis continued, saying that as long as the ‘right of; woman suffrage existed in that Territory he would never vote for its ad- mission, Senators Hoar and Edmunds defendea woman suffrage and conceded the right of the people of a state or territory to determine this Matter for themselves.
