THE VOTE IN KENTUCKY—NOT A REBUKE TO THE AD- ‘MINISTRATION—CLEVELAND STRONG IN THE STATE— WATTERSON FOR CLEVELAND—THE ALLENTOWN CONVENTION—THE OHIO CAMPAIGN. Speaker Carlisle 1s in the city, accompanied by Mrs. Carlisle. A Stam reporter, sent in quest of the Speaker to-day, found him at his room at the Capitol, whither he had gone to look after some of his correspondence. The Speaker looks well, and has benefited, physically, by his rest during ‘the summer, “I.came to Washington,” he said in response to queries of Tax Stax reporter “to look after some matters in the departments; matters of interest tothe people of my State. I shall call upon the President, of course.” HE HAS HEARD OF XO CONFERENCE OF DEMOCRATS TO BE HELD BEFOKE CONGRESS MEETS, ‘THE STAR reporter reminded the Speaker of the report persistently kept alive that the leading democrats of Congress had determined to hold a private conference prior to the session, to map out a plan of legislation with regard to the and otuer important questions. “If any such conterence has ever been arranged,” replied the Speaker, “I have not been advised ot it. I have heard nothing on that subject except what I have seen tn the papers. I can assure you that I have not come to Washington to attend any conference.” ‘The Speaker added that bis visit here had nothing to do with any matters that may come before the next Congress. ‘THE VOTE IN KENTICKY NOT A REBUKE TO THE ADMIN- ISTRATION. «some of the newspapers,” remarked THE STAR Teporter, “construe the vote in the recent Ken- tucky election to bea rebuke to the Administra- tion.” “Then they misconstrue it entirely,” said the Speaker very emphatically. “The democratic vote, as Iremember the figures, was about 8,000 less than in the last Presidential election, ‘That falling of was largely due to the certain convic- ton that the State would xo democratic. In view of that certainty thousands of democrats did not go cut to vote, “After the election I visited an ad- joining county on business, and a friend, a man Well informed in politics, told me that he could count forty-seven democrats in his own vicinity who had not voted simply because they did not regard it as necessary to go 10 the polls. it was so ‘all over the State. ‘The democratic voters are all there and Teady for service when called upon. Next year, with a Presidential election upon us, if I am not greatly mistaken, there will be AN INCREASED DEMOCKATIC MAJORITY. In the last election we carried Fayette County, for the first time, Ibelteve. We lost several members of the legislature fn the mountain regions of the ‘State, but the losses were due to local issues, In ‘one county, at least, local option was the fssue. ‘They had local option, and the impression got out j that if the democratic candidate was elected he would vote against it. ‘There was no political significance in the few changes in the mountain ion.” “But did hostility to the Administration cut down the democratic vote?” asked ‘Tus Stax re- porter. ‘NO, sir, it did not,” answered the Speaker. “The democrats of Kentucky heartily support the Administration, and I know of no democrat there who is not sincerely in favor of Mr. Cleveland's administration, WATTERSON FOR RENOMINATION. ‘Henry Watterson,” the Speaker sald, ‘who has criticised the President, told me recently that he earnestly favors the renomination of Mr. Cleve- land, and that could be direct the course of the arty it would be to renominate our President. ‘hy during our late canvass the President and his administration Were commended from every stump, and the mention of Mr. Cleveland’s name Rever fulled toeliclt the most hearty applause, None of our canvassers anything but good ‘words for the President.” PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF. ‘The subject of the Pennsylvania democratic con- vention at Allentown to-day was mentioned, and the Spéakerexpresses gratifioation~at the appar- ent Of tariff reform ideas in that State.

He thinks the demo- crats can well afford to let the republicans discuss “war tssues,” the return of battle flags, &., while they (the democrats) devote their attention to the tari, improvement of the laboring classes, and ‘other pending issues. Se ces. a End of the Ute Troubles, THE GOVERNMENT COMES TO THE AID OF THE IN- DIANS—CIVIL AUTHORITIES DIRECTED TO RETURN ‘THELK BTOCK—AGENT BYRNES AND MAJOR RANDLETT. AGKEE UPON THE SITUATION. As stated in yesterday's Srar the Ute Indian, ‘situation was carefully considered at the Cabinet meeting, resulting in action by the Executive to prevent further hostilities, In addition to the telegram from Gen, Terry, suggesting instructions to Agent Byrnes to remove all intruders from the Ute reservation, the President had before bim a telegram trom Indian Agent Byrnes to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, stating that Colorow and his foliowers are now at the agency, and express a willingness to remain. Major Les- Ue took possession and run off about 300 head of the Indian horses that were grazing on the public lands near the reservation line. ‘These horses were corralled at Rangeley, Colorado, by Major Leslie, who informed Licut. Burnett that he would hold them until certain Indians were delivered up to him. The ot requested that authority be obtained from thé War Department to allow Col, Randlett, commanding Fort Duchesne, to send a detail of men to bring these horses on the reserva- tion, The Indians, when pursued by Sheriff Ken- all, were ‘compeltea to abandon 2,000 sheep, be- side large herds of goats, which should be re- covered with the horses. ‘The Indians, when at- tacked tn Colorado, were on & peacerul huntin expedition, and they believed that they had a righ under the’ treaty of °74, and as understood with them and the commission, to hunt upon lands in Colorado, ‘After the Cabinet Acting Secretary aie My Cain nn Ang See graphed Gov. Adams, requesting him to take all roper measures to ‘deliyer the coralled Indian forbes to ‘Agent Byrnes, @nd to co-operate with ‘the agent in collecting’ the sheep, goats and other property of these Indians with a view of restoring the same to them on the reservation. Commissioner Atkins also telegraphed Agent Byrnes to remove from his reservation all persons found there contrary to law, and prevent unlaw- ful encroachment or entries thereon for any pur- pose, He was informed that the military would co-operate with him in enforcing the instructions, Alek to the War Department from Major Randlett at Fort Du Chesne, through Gen. Terry, received yesterday afternoon, confirmed the ac: count of the situation furnished by ‘nt Byrnes, and saidin addition that the stock which was seized by the militia and cowboys was: ing on the land claimed by the Indians as belonging to thelr reservation, and where they have been per- mitted by their agent to live for years. Colorado settlers have claimed location there, und have at Jast succeeded 1n driving Indians in. ’Colorow has not before this trouble been on the war path, and has now made his way to the reservation, avoiding hostilities as far as possible. CO-OPERATION OF THE MILITARY. ‘The telegrams which were sent to Gov. Adams and Agent Byrnes were forwarded to Gen. Terry from the War Department with instructions trom the Acting Secretary of War to take all measures and tssue all fea cece see nothing r whe itary than to co-operate with. in removing all intruders from the THE CITWS WATER SUPPLY. Annual Report of Major Lydeckers MORE MONEY NEEDED FOR LINING THE TUNNEL— FUNDS ENOUGH ON HAND TO COMPLETE THE NEW RESERVOIR—IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY AT GREAT FALLS AND THE RECKIVING RESERVOIR TO SECURE PURE WATER, ‘Major Lydecker to-day submitted to the Chief of Engineers his annual report on the increase of the city’s water supply. He states that the work of increasing the water supply involves raising the dam at Great Falls; extending the Washington Aqueduct from the distributing reservoir to the hew reservoir near Howard University, by means ofa tunnel under pressure 20,700 feet long, con- structing at the tunnel outlet a reservoir of about 300,000,000 gallons capacity and connecting the new reservoir with the existing system of water mains in the city. Operations during the year Were confined to the tunnel and reservoir, ‘The total length of the dam as completed is 2,877 feet, of whch 1,094 feet ts comprised in the old dam closing thé Maryland channel ‘The new of the dam rises from 4 to 20 feet high. At the be ginning of the fiscal year no work was in progress THE TUXNRL, operations having been suspended February 1, 1886, When the original appropriation was ex- hausted, and the suspension continued until after the passage of the general fleficiency bill, August 4, 3380, whieh ADprODFlavod $395,000, tor the compie- tion of the tunnel When the work was resumed it was with the endorsement of the board of en- gineers for ining where necessary. Up to the close of the fiscal year the votal length of tunnel Anes was 6,110.5 feet, Operations were conducted without loss “of lite ‘or. serious accident. of any kind. The estimate of $395,000 to complete the work was made when but little More than one-half of the tunnel had been exe- cuved, and it assumed that only about one-half the tunnel would require lining. Nearly all the rock penetrated since resuming operations re quires: lining, and a quantity of rock, considered rm and compact when the estimate’ was made, has since developed imperfections and elements of Weakness such as to seriously threaten the sta- bility of the tunnel if left unprotected by’ lining. It is, therefore, necessary, Major Lydecker says, to SubuiC an estimate involving the lining of a much freater length than was contemplated, and at a igher price Uo the extent of the difference of cost between rubble masonery and dry-stone packing, the former of Which it bas been found necessary tO MORE MONEY NEEDED FOR THE TUNNEL. ‘Tho total estimated cost of the tunnel now sub- mitted 1s $1,181,582.55. The amount already ap- Propriated 1s $999,534.55, making an additional appropriation $182,048 necessary, on a close esti- mate, but Major Lydecker urges ‘that the amount ‘6f $60,000 be appropriated in order that he may be prepared for unseen emergencies, and therefore avold any further delay in completing the work. ‘The completion of the tunnel involves the least amount of lining compatible with security, but it 4s a serious question, he says, whether he’ should Bot go Turtuer and areh all Ue rest of the tunnel to prevent the possibility of its r blocked “by a fall of rock. To do this will cost about $120,000 in addi Uon to the estimate submitted. He is of the opin- fon that in consideration of Une great importance of doing everythin, ible to insure the stability of the work, it would be wise economy to increase the appropriation to $320,000. When the water supply 1s ually passed into the tunnel, he says, and the cities have become dependent upon It, any accident that might call for a recurrence to the present inadequate system would cause Serious trouble, and he therefore thinks that it may be well to'let the Uunnel fil with water when the money now available 1s exhausted, and pump AU oUt after the near appropriation becomes avati- able, thereby making actual test of the stability of tiie work before the community becomes de- Pendent upon It for its water supply. “At the same time,” he says, “{ cannot urge too strongly an appropriation, at the earltest possible date of the fuil amount now estimated as meces- ‘sary for completing and realizing the advantages of this great work, which affects so closely the comfort and health of nearly 200,000 people in this district” ‘The progress made by the con- tractors on during the year, Major Lydecker says, has been slow and entirely unsatisfactory, the working force having been too small, as a rule, and the lant insuMicient and in condition. Durti Ee year 101,186 cubie yards were excavated: and the dam thereby practically completed; the tater- cepting conduits completed; tue slope pay: on the west and north extended over a Senge of 1994 feet and 942 feet of road gutters graded and. paved. “The original appropria. ion of $431,273.75 for this work was exhausted early in the year, but theadditional ap- Bropriation of $160,000 provided by the general lefictency bill of August 4, 1886, permitted the continuance of the work, and the contract bas Deen extended to October '31, 1887, at which time AU 1g believed che contractors’ will Have completed what 1s required of them. MONEY ENOUGH FOR THE RESERVOIR, BUT NONE FOR THE GROUNDS. After this 13 done, the construction of the gate house, with its distributing con- duits on the bed of the reservoir, and its connection with the affluent 75-Inch main will put the reservoir in condition to receive the water sup- ply. Thts can all be accomplisued with the pres- ent appropriation during the current tlscal Year, and before completion of the tunnel, It does not appear that any additional appropriation will be required for completing the essenUal features of work, Major Lydecker says, Dut it 13 likely that additional money will be heeded to properly finish up Ube grounds about the reservoir. No appropri- ation for the purpose is asked, but It may be made the subject of a special communication at a later date. ‘Tue balance available for conunuing and completing this work at the close of the hscal Year Was $116,907.08, the total appropriauons inade being $591,273.75, The only work done on the main ‘counectiuns during the year was the calking of the 75-Inch outlet main’ from te Rew reservolr, Tho original appropriation was $165,400, and the balance available 1s $2,008.50, Wwhica will probably suffice to complete tuis part of the Work by making proper connection with the gate-house when bulit, IN RELATION TO THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT, Major Lydecker reports that the outflow of water from the distributing reservolr, as measured during the twenty-four hours endingat 6 a. m., June 25, 1847, was 20,878,424 gallons, being 1,335,948 gallouls more than the outfluw about the same ume in the preceding year. ‘The water Supply as it passed Lhe eluent gute-house of the distributing reservoir was clear on 256 days, slightly turbid 30, and very turbid 22; an improve: ment i this respect over the previous year, durit which clear water, the effluent on only 14° days, The water level at the inlet to the uqueduct avGreatFalls has varied from a muximum of 3 feet to 8 minimum of 0.7 feet above tue crest of the dam. ‘This fs the first in a long series of years that the water-level has Dot fallen below the crest of the dam, the natural result of its extension and completion to the Virginia shore. ‘The average Water preasure for the year in te supply mains at the crossing of Kock Creek was 31.03 pounds per ‘square inch, the maximum being 35 pounds and ‘the minimum 28.5 pounds. The average pressure during 1886 was 5204 pounds. ‘The amount re- quired for enginecring, maintenance and repairs Of tue aqueduet for we Year ending June 30, "89, 18 $20, NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS TO SECURE PURE WATER, ‘This, as shown by long experience, Major Lydecker says, 1s only sufficient for the annual maintenance and current repairs, but in oraer to insure the water supply against any danger of lution, and to allay the fears of the comuiunity that respect, he thinks it 4s highly desirable that means should be provided for making certain improvements at Great Falls and receiving reser- Nolr. “These improvements. provide for iuercept- ing and diverting streams and surface drainage which now enter the receiving reservoir, tor dredging the reservoir and for riprapping its ‘Danks, and also tu acquire and fence in a few small tracts of land in the Vicinity of the reservoir, and Of the inlet of the aqueduct at Great Falls, which are now occupled by private parties, in such a way as to give rise to tears concerning the purity Of supply.‘The cost of the work will be $125,000, and Major Lydecker recommends that an addt- onal estimate of that amount be submitted by ‘the War De] ut to Congress as an item of ‘the sundry civil bi Ex-Secretary Lincoln Talks.
