If his visit to the West has any political INAS atall, and I do not know that it has, itis merely to see to what extent he retains his hold on the people there, not to build up any strength.” Mr. Parker safd he did not think there Was any understanding between Mr. friends and. those of ‘Mir.

But if an agreement could be reached between them it would increase the chances of success for the republican party. ‘As to Mr. Cleveland’s administration, he said he thought the year to come would be a much more severe test of It than the two years past.

He had a better idea of what would be the ultimate result of a thing. A DECISION ON THE INTERSTATE LAW. A Federal Court Parti Long and Short Haul Clause. ‘would, he thought, take this year to determine Judge Deady, in the United States Circuit Court at Portland, Oregon, has rendered a decision which. virtually nullifies the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce act, so far as it effects railroads that are competitors of water routes. It makes the distinction between commerce wholly within the States and commerce between the’| States, and also explains the limitations of the act as to carriage of goods between States by lines connecting with but acting independently of each other, and not receiving goods for continuous car- riage orshipment, The case under consideration ‘was that of the receiver of the Oregon and Califor- nia Railroad Company, a road iying wholly within the State of Oregon. Judge Deady rules that the transportation of property from one State to another is interstate commerce, whether the carriers engaged in moving it or the vehiclesin which it 18 borne cross the line of State or not. ‘The interstate commerce act does not include or apply to all carriers engaged in interstate com- merce, but only such as use a railway or a railway and water craft “under common control, manage- ment)” or arrangement for a continuous carriage or shipment of property trom one State to another nor does. it apply to the carriage of property by rail wholly within the State, although shipped from or destined to a place without the States, so that such place is not in aforelgn country. In the case in judgment it is held that the Orego1 and California road and the steamers of the Ore gon Railway and Navigation Company in the car- Tlage of the goods in question are not “used under any common control, anagement or arrangement for a continuous carriage or shipment thereof,” to ‘andfrom San Francisco within theintent and mean- ing of the act, and that the carriage and handling of id 48 performed wholly within the State, and therefore specially exempted. by the terms of the act from its operation, provided the same are not directly shipped to and from a foreign country, ‘WHAT COL. MORRISON SAYS OF THE DECISION. A Stax reporter to-day called the attention of. Col, Morrison to the above decision. He merely Pointed out the seventh section of the law, and ‘said that the application or non-application of the act depended upon the facts in the case—whether they were two distinct lines in good Talth~or--not. ‘The seventh section provides: “That it shall be unlawful for any common car. rier subject to the provisions of this act to ent into any combination, contract, or agreement, éx- pressed or implied, to’prevent, by change of time ‘schedule, carriage'in different cars, or by other means oF devices, the carriage of frelguts from be- jug continuous from the place of shipment, vo the place of destination; andno break of bulk, sto} ‘page, or interruption made by such common cai ler shall prevent the carriage of freights from be- ing and being treated as one continuous from the place of shipment to the place of destina- ton, unless such break, stoppage, or interruption ‘was made in good faith’ for some n pur- and without any intent to avold or unneces- sarily Anterrupt such continuous carriage or to evade any of the provisions of this act.” MERRY EGG-ROLLERS, A Gay Scehe in the White House Grounds To-day. THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN ENJOY THEMSELVES IN ‘THE BRIGHT SUNSHINE. ‘The sunshine brought out the children to-day. ‘Thousands—some with nurses, some alone, some walking, and some wheeled in baby carriages, and all carrying little b: ts—poured into the White ‘House grounds this morning. A stranger might have thought that the President was In fora, grand Easter offering from the grateful public. But the children’s minds were not on the President, and they had no thought of a spontancous offering of eggs to the beautiful bride of the White House. What they were truly thankful for was the sun that shone on Easter Monday, green grass and Uberty, and what they carried in their baskets, ‘They were let loose in the White House grounds to roll eggs, and as early as half-past 9 this mornin; the sound of their shouting aa sport could te pean ed chased their gally-colored eggsdown enrd a ey ot Htagenty aterm ce pace was fury aue wrth tare and a ange munber or erown Poole old men With long white beards stop) and en- Joyedit.

A BREAK IN THE L-STREET MAIN AND THE CONSE- QUENCES—AT WORK ON THE MAIN TO-DAY—CaPr. SYMONS HOPES TO TURN ON THE WATER TO-NIGHT— HOW THE BREAK OCCURRED. ‘When the residents of lange areas of the city rose yesterday morning they were astonished to find that their water supply was cut off. On Capl- tol Hill and some of the higher levels in the north and northwest sections great discomfort was oc- castoned. In some localities during the day the discomfort became distress, as no provision had been made for such an emergency, and the over- Worked street pumps were soon exhausted, The cause of this inconvenience was a break in the large 36-inch’ main, which runs through L street and supplies water to a portion of the northwest aS ‘to Capitol Hill, and other high portions of e city. FINDING THE LEAK. ‘The first intimation of the break was the aiscov- ery, Saturday afternoon, that water was oozing from around the trees on L. street, between 21st al streets. Capt. Symons, of the District Engineer department, who has change of the WateE service, was immediately notified, and a foree of men were set to work hunting for the leak. After many hours of labor the break was discovered to be in the main on L, near 21st street, and early yesterday morning the water was cut off from this main while repairs were being made. ‘There was consequently no water all day yester- day in the parts of the city supplied by the main, Asaprecaution tn case of tire, Capt, Symons filled on 16th Street before turning off the water in the main. TRE MAIN in which;the leak occurred was laid about fifteen years ago, and it has been the cause of considera- ble annoyance. |The main where the break was found {s laid on brick in made ground, and Capt. Symons states ‘ulattte break wap cnunsa by the settling of the joint and the consequent “sag Which resulted cracking Srthe mera? CARRYING WATER FROM THE PUMPS. ‘There were many amusing scenes in the “dry” parts of the city yesterday. Many thrifty colored men enlisted for the time-being as water-carriers and thus turned an honest penny or two. Boys provided ‘with tin buckets, "pulls and Pitchers, Went the round of the houses asking “the lady oi the house” ir she wanted some water brought. AT WORK ON THE MAIN. ‘There was a busy crowd of workingmen at the scene of the break on L street to-day. A large ex- cavation had been dug, exposing tne big main for a distance of thirty or forty feet. ‘The ‘break was found to bein the form of a crack onthe under Haire aietets aetna ais an ‘and exten a distance of four or five feet, md JACKETS FOR THE BROKEN PIPE. Capt. Symons had on hand ready to be placed on the injured section of pipe plates of half-inch sheet-iron, rolled s0 as to fit over the pipe. This Jacket, he said, was similar to the one placed around the big main that broke above West Wasb- ington about a year First a thick sheet of lead is wound around the main; then the rolled iron Jacket is put on, and over this strong wrought fron Tings or clamps'are bolted on, WATER TO-NIGHT OR TO-MORROW MORNING. Capt. Symons sald at noon to-day that he hoped to have the work completed so the water could be ‘turned in at 6 o'clock to-night. In case of any de~ laysor difficulties he thought that there was no doubt that the water would be turned on before to-morrow morning at the latest. He sald he re- that the water had to be turned off with- Out notice to the public, but the emergency was such that any delay would have probably proved disastrous, and the Water might have been cut off for a week or more. When it was found necessary, about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, to cut off the water, he had tele- phoned to the Sunday newspaper offices to have hotice given, so that the people could at least know what the trouble was, but it was too late then to have the notice published, ‘The water in the Tain Was cut Off at the valve located in West 1@ aqueduct office, When the leak was yesterday moraing, and workmen had cut away” the concrete pavement ‘#nd removed some Of the earth, ihe wate rose to the surface in a great volume ‘anc the street in a torrent. Capt. Symons says that it the water had not been cut off quickly, as 1t wi the main would probably have been destroy for a considerable distance, and a long time would have been required, to repair the damage. This main, he said, was laid by contract, and during ‘the Stteen yedrs since 1t was laid there had been eight or nine serious breaks. On the other hand, there had been no troubiest all with the 30-inch main laid by day’s work. ‘THE L-STRRET MAIN. ‘The36-inch main 1s the largest in the city, ex- cepting ‘the 48-inch main recently laid from the new reservoir, When it was laid along L street, in the neighborhood of the break, that street had not been filled up to its present level, and the main was above ground, Supported, on brick piers 14 feet high. ‘The heat had the effect of expanding and bending the pipes, so that it became necessary to Insert, Wooden idcks oF wedges po the top of the. brick | plers e ce the “street las” been “filed Sup” "to grade, the main.

When the men began i 5 yesterday morning, they found that the made round Underneath and around the main was foose and much of it had been washed away. IN CASE OF FIRE. Capt.Symons said to-day that in case of a serious. fire while the main was closed water could be. foreed to any section of the city now unsupplied the other mains, but in order to do that the supply in all other Sections of the city would have to be cut off for a time. Tnis operation would, however, require considerable time. ‘The placing of the jucket on the broken main to-day may be in the nature only of a temporary repair, asit may be found necessary to replace the broken section of pipe with a new section. In such case ampla notice will be given and resi- dents wi have an opportunity to provide them- selves With water before itis cut off again, MENDING THE PUMPS. ‘The Water Department to-day sent out men to repair pumps that were put out of order by con- stant use yesterday. NO WHISKY—NO WATER—NO SIDE DOOR. One gentleman was overheard to say: “Ihave noobjection to.their shutting off whisky on Sunday, ‘but I do object to them shutting off tt water.” Another said: “This 1s worse than no whisky ‘shops being open, for their is a side door to them. but no side door to the water works.” oe . A “DRY” SUNDAY. Nearly All the Saloons Closed Yesterday THIRSTY CITIZENS EXHAUST THE STOCKS OF LIQUID REFRESHMENTS IN SUBURBAN BAR-ROOMS. During Saturday and Saturday night the police made ninety-one arrests, a large number of them being for intoxication. Yesterday and last night there were only twenty-four arrests, and only one was for intoxication. The strict enforcement of the law had the effect of closing, for the first time infmany years, a number of down-town saloons where eating and drinking bars are connected.
