Kiillowlng up the report mad. of work done In HI. Mary'a Hospital during the year past, an Astorlan representative yes terday vuilrd the Institution and through the klndm s of the sinters waa shown ihroiiKh Hie department, tta cleanly halls, public and private wards, opt-ratlnx room, pharmacy, dining rooms and kitch en were all "spli k and span." and a sweet and clean air pervaded th. whole. At present there are eleven Inside em ployes. Including sevm slater, and foin trained nurse i. Thero are four prlval. patients and eU:M In the gehoinl ward. No surgical cases nr. now In tha hos pital, and th. number of other patients Is unusually small. Just before the holidays every ward waa full. In answer to an Inquiry th. slater In charge slated that th. staff of physicians was composed of th. Doctor Fulton and Dr. Kstcs, but that th. hospital waa open to all physicians of th. city and that every patient had th. right to nam. his or her physician. At present Doctors Walker, Jensen, and lleckman each have private patients In the hospital. Th. sls- r spoke most kindly of th. physicians of th. city, and accorded themdeaerved praise for tht work done In the hospital.

Many Teople Worried by the False Alarm oi r iro Dummy Morning. Much comment was Indulged In Sunday and yestt rday on the streets on the fnlse alarm of fire which waa turned In from Hox 8 at I o'clock Sunday morning. Th Saturday evening 'papers had scarcely carried abroad their messages of the breakdown In the old water works sys tem, and enlarged upon the lack of water for fire purposes, when, amid the howling of a stiff eastern gale, the bells rang out on the night air an alarm which Is always a aourco of fear under the most favorable circumstances. Women, who were sick and naturally nervous, hnstcned out on verandas In their night clothes, some In great alarm, and othrr. who were confined to their beds with serious aflllctlona were thrown Into a dangerous state of excitement. Business men, who have large stocks of goods In warehouses hastened -on the streets, and canncrymen, many of whom have stocks nirgregntlng from $00,000 to JMO.OOO In un protected wooden warehouses, rushed down the street to look after their prop- erly. Many war. of th. strong opinion that a thorough InveatlKHlon of the matter should lie made and th guilty party or parties brought to Justice, It should b. an easy matter to trac. the guilty pirtlce a th. key which was aald to be No. J", waa found In th. bog from which th. alarm waa turned In, and a record la kept of all key distributed In private hands. It waa rumored yesterday that certain partlea only turned In the alarm "for fun," but under the elrcumatancee It would arm aa though It waa a, poor tlm. for that kind of sport, and 1 o'clock In th. morning under any circumstances would hardly h. oonsidored a proper hour for Ita Indulgence. Th. only Question la, whoa, key opened th. box? I'LUIUC I'AltK QCE8TIO.V. Th. Opinion of Mr, John Durke on Thla Important Subject. Mr. John Iturke, on. of th liondsmen of th. defunct I'aclflc Paving Company, who returned from Portland Sunday, gav. hla opinion on th. city park ques tion to aa Asiorlan miorter yesterday. "Whll. In Portland," aald Mr. Iturke, "I read th. account of th. first meeting of th. new city council In tha Astorian. and I hearljly concur In the rtxarks of Mayor Taylor on that all-Important top ic. A number of year ago th. same question waa before th. city of Portland, and had th. city acted as Ita short sighted cltlnns (Weired It present beau tiful park would not now twin the center of th. Nob Hill district. People said at th. tlm. that thla property would b. of no value fur years to come, but lots can not be purchased In this locality for love or money. "Th. same proposition now confront the city of Astoria. Soon th. large tracts now owned by Individuals will Im dlver sined and alt attempts at purchasing a sit. largo enough for the purpose will be useless. Astoria could well afford to procure such a site, though no great expenditure bo made upon It for ten year to coma. Th. message of Mayor Taylor shows plainly th. position of that gentleman on the situation, and It Is to be hoped, the councilman are of hla opin ion.'.' Mr. flurke thought Tong'i. Point would mak. about th. beat sit. for a park of any location In the city, and. while It could he purchased cheaply, he said he would deem It a wise mo.' to procure this property. PLENTY OF WATER The Supply is Now .More Than Equal to the City's Demand. .Mick Credit Die tke Water Conmissioi sad Sipt. Skidds lor Their rrootpt aid f tlcctive Actios. Since ealr Sunday morning the city haa had a supply of water which has been more than equal to the demand. An Astorian reporter visited the water worka between Grand and Harrison avenues, yesterday afternoon, and. although more water Is required on Monday than on any other day, the supply wa ample, , The most serious break In the system waa at the headworks of the old water work at Hear Creek. Before entering the pipe the water la carried for nearly a mil. In a flume, and when Albert Johnson, Superintendent Shields' assistant, made a trip to Bear Creek. Saturday morning, he found that 120 feet of this flume hsd been destroyed by a freshet, which is now raging In th. stream. Procuring the services of a man living In that vicinity, he set to work to make the necessary repairs, finishing Sunday evening. The water supply at present Is obtain ed by means of a surface pip. This pipe connects the new water works pipe at the powerhouse on the top of Fifteenth street hill, by which means power enough Is obtained to force the water over Cox comb hill. Kour-lnch pipe waa used as far as the bottom of the last-named hill, where two two-Inch pipes were utilised. These two plpea now give the city an ample supply, and are the only source of supply at the present time. Superintendent Shields yesterday bor rowed several hundred feet of hose fiom No. J's engine house, and In the after noon had a force of men cleaning the lame reservoir. As soon as thla work Is finished sometime today-the regular supply will be furnished. Hereafter the water will not be turned off at midnight, but will run all night. Much credit is due the water commis sion and Superintendent Shields for the nrompt and effective manner In which hla matter waa handled. A force of .:ien was atork night and day. and the iu"ch-tnlked of "water famine" proved to lie a tempest In a teacup. The remainder of the coping stone for he new system arrived Sunday after icon and was unloaded at the foot of Fourteenth street. Tennis were engaged yesterday In hauling It to the power house, and Mr. John Burke, who Is In charge of operations, says the coping and Iron fence will shortly be finished, as work thereon Is being rushed.

SIIARI' SALLIES AND WIT Kill Tslk"SiV5 He li is Active a .Heater ol tke Democratic ratty as Jkajr Ose, Washington, Jan. U.-Senator Morgan's speech on the silver bill waa th. event In th. senate today, although a aharp personal colloquy between Hill, Prttchard and Huller enlivened the, early hour. Morgan nnally addressed himself per sonally to Sherman, who sat acroaa th. aisle, and for two hour arraigned th. Ohio senator for th. aerlea of financial acta with which he la Identlfled. At time. Morgan waa bitterly personal. Jn the main, however, th. speech was a scholarly presentation of th. silver ques tion Hill' colloquy with the two North Car olina senators brought out considerable dlscutslon of the New Tork senator's political consistency, and waa amusing to th. crowded galleries, for th aharp .allien and witty rejoinders during th. triangular debate. I'rlt-hard made an address, defending himself against the charge of Inconsist ency on th tariff question, mad. by Hill last week, and attacked Hlll'a record for consistency, saying that he had been re pudiated by the Democratic party. Hill said he believed that h. waa as active amember of th. Democratic party, "when there la office." as anyone. He said It waa trne that he voted against th Wilson bill. He had reasons for voting against It. He believed In tariff reform, but not In that way. The Demo crats were all travelling toward th. Dem ocratic haven, but In different way. The other side waa travelling In th. oth er direction. Allen sought to question him, where upon the latter created laughter by re marking there Is "atlll another Richmond In the Held."

Independence of the South African Re publics. Baron Marschall von Blebersteln. min ister of foreign affairs, waa not present at the interview, although It Is customary for the foreign minister to be present upon evasions of an Imperial audience wllh the head of a foreign department of a regularly constituted government. It la reported on the Boers that Chan cellor Prince von Hohenlohe has offered to tender his resignation to the emperor. Nothing Is known ot this rumor at Hi. Chancellerle. AN INTERNATIONAL BANK. House Committee on Banking and Cur rency Considers the Project Washington, Jan. 13. The house com mittee on banking and currency today considered the project for an Internation al American bank, which was one of the suggestion of the pan-American con gress and was largely the. Idea of the late James Q. Blaine. Among the would-be Incorporators are Cornelius Bliss and Chaa, R. Flint, of New Vork City: T. Jefferson Colldge and Andrew Carnegie: J. a Clarkson, P. D. Armour and M. M. Estee, of California. The bill puts the capital stock at to.000,. ixxi, and authorises the hank to act as the financial agent of any government, stnte, or municipality or corporation; to handle bonds, etc., but bar It from Issu. Ing notes to circulate as money In the United States. Controller Eckles addressed the com mittee, stating that he favored the es tablishment of such a bank under proper restrictions.

Rov eter, Coitiaitt to . tie riblic )i4 ii GernaiT. (Copyrighted. 1KM, by Associated Press) London, Jan. 11 It seem pretty well established In the public mind that Em peror William did not mean to threaten i Mfua. o..a.iaiu oj nm mnHH. Oi j sympathy to President Kirger, of the Transvaal, and th. reports which were circulated a few day ago ot the Euro pean alliance back of Germany and against England And little credence. It seems to be accepted that the Oerman emperor almply Intended to expre. hi opinion of the Jamieeon raid in that mes sage and the temporary sentiment of Irri tation which It caused him. Thla Is th. general feeling, apparently, of the publio mind, and those organs of public opinion which are In touch with the government have undoubtedly sought to deepen thl Impression. But this still leaves th un explained and uncontradicted assertion that the German government did apply to Portugal for permission to pass marine through Portugese territory at Delagoa Bay to the Transvaal: nor doe It ex plain the unflagging preparation of war material and equipment of war force In England. The first feeling of assurance over, a better situation in the relation with Germany I met by note of warn ing that there are atlll possible aeeda of much rancor and danger In the situation In the Transvaal, and the Venesuelan question Is. after all, not settled, nor any basis s greed upon for It settlement. Interest in the great navU preparations, however, continue to absorb the publio mind. A report which has been circulated that the government Intends to mobilise the volunteer force is denied tonight: but It la certain that appeals from th. war office have recently been sent by circular -vi the commander of all vol unteer regiments, asking them to return the probable number of volunteers that can be mobilised, and to state the ar rangements that would be necesaary for doing so.
