The Work of Excavation for the Big Main Begun Today. 4 MONTE AHEAD OF TIME—THE PIPE WILL BE LAID FRow BOTH ENDS OF THE LINE AS RAPIDLY 48 POSSIBLE—CoL, ELLIOT TELIS BOW THE ‘WORK WILL BE DoxE. ‘The second act of the modern drama entitled “Washington's Water Supply” was begun this ‘morning when Contractor Thomes Cowle and & gang of twenty men went to work at the cornet of B and 4th streets northwest to dig the trench for the new four-foot main that is to connect the great reservoirs with the city's pipe system, ‘This is over s month ahead of the time set by Col. Wilson when he made his plans for the bert ae heelys shyy enh che ought Partof Col. Geo. H. Elliot, the present engineer officer in charge, to push the project to a com- ANOTHER GANG to bring water from the reservoir on the hills to the four foot main that runs up New Jersey avenue. When that be w @ guestion that Col. Elliot refused to answer mornin; while talking to a Stam reporter. There are so many possible obsta- cles, he explained, that may delay the work in unforseen Sere that it is not safe to predictthe date of compictidn, POSSIBLE OBSTACLES. “It isan unfortunate fact,” he said, “that the District government kept no record of the things that were put under ground, such as gas pipes, water mains and sewers. From the time of the Shepherd government down to the present time there is a perfect record of every project and we have an accurate map of the obstacles in our way that were planted dur- ing that gt one but beyond that we shall be groping in the dark, There is no telling what we may strike. It maybe a sewer or a grave- yard, It would not surprise me in the est if we run across a crop of bones before we get through, Such an obstacle as a sewer in our ath would inconvenience us badly,as we should ave to wait until we got it out of our way. The pipe must go on at all hazards, even if the sewer is blocked and turned into another course. We might take a dip under an obsta- cle, but that is not a good plan, for it gives a low spot in the main, where a sediment is eure to collect and impede the flow of water, There will be 4 BIG DIP where the pipe crosses Rock creek at M street, but we can remedy this by means of a blow-off, The plans for the crossing have not yet been jaite completed, but the pipe will be supported Between two large trusses, The pes 4 in 126 feet long. “We shall keep ahead with the work from now on and I can promise the folks here an in- creased water supply at the very earliest possi- ble moment. The materials are coming in at @ satisfactory rate and are of good quality, Our inspectors at the works are rejecting pipe right and left and allow none but perfeet work to be sent here. There was a carload of special castings smashed in transit a few days ago, but this will not delay the work at all, as we have others at hand and more coming. This loss will fall on the contractors and may be trans- ferred from them to the railroad company, so the government will not lose a cent by the ac- cident, It was due to careless packing and handling. THE TRENCHES. The trench which was started this morning to be excavated for the 48-inch main will ex- tend from the distributing reservoir along the Conduit and Canal roads to Foundry branch, and from 37th and M streets along M to New Hamp- shire avenue, and Ri street, thence to 4th. The trench for the 30-inch main, which will not be dug until the other is completed, will be excavated from New Jersey avenue and B street northwest across the Capitol grounds to East Capitol street, and thence along this street to 11th east. There will also be a 24-inch main on 14th or 15th streets—probably the latter—from K to L streets northwest, The trench for the 48-inch main will be gen- erally 73¢ feet deep and at least 5 feet wide on the bottom and7 feet at the surface of the ground. The lina will follow the curb instead of the center of the street, and the excavated materials will be so piled that at least half of the footway is clear. At street crossings bridges will be built TO ACCOMMODATE CARRIAGE AND FOOT TRAFFIC. The pavement is tobe cut neatly along the edges of the trench and the pieces piled out of the way of travel, There will be about 20,000 lineal feet of trench for the 48-inch main, 5,400 feet for the 80-inch and about 400 feet for the 24-inch. The rate of btgr-gr in the work of excavating is fixed at 400 lineal feet a day, but the en- ‘ineer in charge has the right to diminish this as to conform to the accommodation of the pe layers and to inconvenience the public as ittle a8 possible. PRO BONO PUBLICO. The object of Col. Elliot is to have the trenches stand open as short s time as possible in order to prevent the ill effects eminating from newly dug soil, and he will keep the pipe layers hard at work to fill the excavations as fast as possible. There will probably be no more than three squares open at once. The pipes wil be laid directly on the ground, except in cases where the soil shows such | of softening as to render foundations advis- able. In all other cases the earth will be packed down solid with rammers before the pi laid. Each joint of pipe will be fitted into the other with a calking of jute yarn and lead. This will require about 4,000 pounds of jute and 100 tons of lead. — THE COKE WORKER’S STRIKE. The Hungarian Miners Still Make Troue ble and Prevent Work Going On.

D., says: “The report extensively circulated that Con- gress must ratify the Sioux treaty before the lands are thrown open is a mistake. It will only need the President’s proclamation after the commission reports to make the lands a part of the public domain.” This dispatch is poree me There are two laws relative to the opening of the Sioux Indian reservation, Both bear the date of March 2, 1889, One law provides for the ratification of the agreement made with the Indians by Congress, and the report of the com- mission will be sent to Congress and action must be taken by Congress before the President can issue a procjamation an- sraneeg. that the lands are open for settle- ment. it will be a year, and perhaps longer, before settlers can go on the land, and the misrepresentations that have been circulated 80 Saearey are either the result of ignorance orare in the interest of those who would profit by having crowds of expectant settlers ing along the bounds of the reservation. New States Not Entitled to a Share. In 1887 Congress passed a bill providing for agricultural experimental stations for the sev- eral states, but failed to make an appropria- tion. At the last session of Congress an appro- priation of $600,000 was made. The question came up under Controller Durham as to whether the territories were included in the original bill. The assent of the states was nec- essary to the plan for the establishment of the stations, and Dakota having assented Judge Durham decided that she was entitled to come in. The estimates sent in b the department were for $15,003 for each of the thirty - eight states and Dakota, anda similar sum for a station in | | connection with the department at Washington. The question has been raised before Controller eters whether the new states os any of the rritories (except Dakota) were entitled to Today he decided that the estimates providing for only the thirty-cight states, the department and Dakota, none of the new states could claim any of the money. The Condition of Maurice Adler. ‘There was no change reported to-day in the condition of Maurice Adler. The favorable conditions following the recent operation have been more than offset by the increasing weak- ness of the sufferer and a tendency to drowsi- ‘ness and stupor.

There was & consultation of the physicians this morning at which it was decided to make no change in the treatment until there was some change noted in the condition of the wounded man.
