Chairman J. Edward Simmons of the newly appointed Board of Water Supply this morning submitted' to the Board of Estimate the report and recommendations made by the commissioner with reference to securing a better water supply for tbe City of New York. It Is an out-and-out approval of the plan to bring water from the Catskill and the Esopus watersheds by means of an enormous aqueduct, constructed at a cost amounting to more than $100,000,000. In the conclusion of the report the commissioners recommend that "the Borough of Brooklyn should look for Immediate relief from the water famine conditions existing lo the water collected and stored in sands of Long Island, and should use every effort to make these sources available." The proposed water supply will yield, In the opinion of the engineers and surveyors, something In the neighborhood of 600,000.000 gallons of Water a day.

October 12 A resolution making It a misdemeanor to catch scallops In Peconlc and Gardiner's bays of a less dimension than 1 Inches across was passed by the Suffolk supervisors at a meeting held here yesterday. The penalty is a fine of $50, Imprisonment for not less than two months or more than six, or both fine and Imprisonment, In the discretion of the court. The supervisors were led to take this action after being addressed by Captain Robert W. Penny, of Flanders, and Captain Benjamin H. Jones, of South Jamesport, who stated that they represented 300 scallopers, who desired protection for the small scallops that now abound in the bayB named.

Captain Penny said that there were great quantities of little scallops and If let alone for two months would provide a money making business for the baymen all winter, as the small ones would grow to a good marketable size in a little while. Me added, though, that at present some Irresponsible Polish people were dally taking up the little ones In from twenty to fifty bushel lots and after opening a few of the larger ones the balance were dumped Into a shell heap, thus catiBing great waste and making it probable that all of the set for this and another season, too, would be destroyed If some law was not nassed protecting the small stock. The supervisors were considerably impressed by the speakers and in less than two hours framed and passed a law, which takes effect immediately. Half of the flno imposed goes to the person furnishing the evidence. Before concluding his remarks Captain Penny stated that In ordinary seasons the scallop industry In these two bays was worth $200,000 lo the baymen.

The magnitude of the business is a surprising fact to most people, even though they have lived in this section many years.

closes 49 (Midnight) 48 erage temperature to-day 61 Mayor McClellan said this morning to an Eagle reporter: "I am unreservedly in favor of pure water for the people of Brooklyn. You cannot quote me too strongly in that respect. Pure drinking water Is of the highest importance to every community and any administration which should attempt to stand in the way of securing to the city an absolutely healthful supply of water, as free from germs and pollution as possible, would be guilty of a grave error. Rather, any administration should do everything In Its power to obtain such a supply. It Is a vital problem to every city and town, for upon the quality of Its drinking water the health of a community, to a large extent, depends.

"There is no question In my mind but that we are wuy behind the times In the matter of our water supply one of the very things In which we should be abreast of the times. The problem of the sources of supply is now In a fair way to satisfactory solution through the medium of the Water Supply Commission, a non-partisan body appointed In the present administration. The problem of filtration, on the other hand, is one to be solved by the city authorities. "Many as are the views held as to the practicability of sand 01 nation, that system seems to be the best ouo so far devised. It is not in the experimental stage; it has been adopted in many cities, both in this country and abroad, with gratifying success.

I am convinced that filtration Is what We must have, not only in Brooklyn, but in the other boroughs, as well. Commissioner Darlington has been urging the need of it for some time. "The installation of the sand filtration svBtem, or whatever system Is deemed by the proper authorities the best, Is going to cost the city a lot of money. There can be no doubt about that. But, still it has got to come.

A city of the size and wealth of New York cannot hesitate over a reasonable outlay tor such a highly urgent Improvement. It must have, not only an adequate supply of water, but water of the best quality, as well. The people should not be permitted to drink Impure water. "In keeping Its watershed free from pollution the city is up against a harder proposition than most persons imagine. Along the Manhattan watershed wo have the power to eject any nuisance that may appear.

If it Is on land not owned by the city we resort to condemnation proceedings, as the law empowers us to do. The result, I am sorry to say, is that frequently a person is no sooner evicted from one place than he promptly starts a nuisance at another point, knowing full well that to get rid of It the city must condemn the The watershed nuisance has become a thriving Industry. "In the case of the Brooklyn watershed, the situation Is no less exasperating. To remove a nuisance from there, complaint must be made to the State Health Board, and, If the contention 1b sustained, long-drawn-out legal proceedings must follow. It sometimes takes a month to get a final decision In the case.

"I believe that the Eagle Is doing a good work In printing the facts as It finds them, and In calling the situation to the attention of the Inhabitants of Brooklyn. It may say for me that I am heartily In accord with the proposition to secure pure water for the residents of that borough, and that, as Mayor the city, I will urge that whatever remedial measures are found, upon Investigation, to bo necessary shall be adopted within a reasonably short time."

From the Eagle Paris Bureau, 53 Rue Cambon, through the courtesy of Abraham Straus. The absence of Denis Donovan, the Democratic candidate for register, from the ratification meeting of the Washington Club, Deputy Water Commissioner Thomas R. Farrell's organization in the Eleventh Assembly District, last night, which caused some surprise because of the fact that Mr. Donovan is a member of the club and because he was nominated as a concession to the friends of James Sbevlin. was explained to-day.

It appears that Mr. Donovan had charge of two election districts at the recent primaries in the Eleventh District, in the Interests of Mr. Farrell, and that Mr. Farrell was beaten in those districts by 10 votes. After the primaries, the men who represented Thomas F.

Byrnes, Mr. Farrell's opponent in the districts captained by Mr. Donovan, arranged to have a little celebration of their victory over the candidate for register. They engaged Saengerbund Hall for the occasion. When Mr.

Donovan was nominated, his former opponents concluded it would be a good Idea to invite him to the affair, and they did so, Mr. Donovan attended the celebration laBt nlgbt, foregoing an engagement be had to speak at the Washington Club In order to be there. He got a great reception from his former opponents. Thomas F. Byrnes was there, too, and he made a speech praising Mr.

Donovan and telling what a fine young man the candidate for register was. Mr. Donovan made a speech, in which he urged all Democrats to get together, no matter what their factional differences In the past may have been. In support of tbe Democratic nominees. So the affair that had been gotten up to celebrate the victory over Mr.

Donovan, at the primaries, was really turned into Jubilation over his nomination for register. Mr. Donovan's friends say he Is doing much to make the Democrats of the Eleventh District forget that they ever were engaged In a primary contest. According to the Citizens Union men of the FiiBt Assembly District, the regular He-publicans of that district held a meeting In their name last night, indorsed the slated Republican candidates for tho Assembly and Board of Aldermen, and when the few Citizens Union men who were there protested that it was hb't'a meeting or at all, and certainly not a Citizens Union affair said: "Ah, gwan," and passed their slate. All this- was done at the Flerrepont Assembly rooms.

To-day, therefore, the Citizens Union of the Heights Is thoroughly aroused, Is publicly disavowing what they are supposed to have done, and are breathing anathemas against the regular Republicans. It was told this morning how Alexander M. White, of tho Heights, banker, son of William Augustus White, and son-in-law of Colonel Willis L. Ogden, stepped out of the meeting last night after protesting to R. Ross Ap-pleton privately and In public upon the floor that it had been illegally called.

"There were not more than five members of the Citizens Union organization there out of eighty present, not more than five that either I or the secretary knew," said Mr. White to-day. Alexander M. White, la chairman of the Citizens Union organization of the First Assembly District. Mr.

White's demands met with no attention, however. After his withdrawal the meeting indorsed the expected Republican nomination for Assembly of Thomas O'Neill and R. W. Downing for alderman. Mr.

White was emphatic and definite in his denunciations this morning. Ross Appleton, Dady and others," he said, "have been trying to commit the Citizen's Union to the indorsement of the Republican candidates for Assemblyman and Alderman in the First District. In that they have failed. We are not going to Btand for the meeting of last night. It was not a Citizen's Union meeting.

There was scarcely a Citizens Union man present. There was no roll call. Thirty or more men came in late from the Republican aiclermanic convention and voted. It was a packed meeting, sir." Mr. White showed no excitement, but ha spoke with great determination and energy.

"All of this is very important," he said. "The Citizen's Union will not stand for It. It was not our meeting. It was held under the susplces of R. Ross Apnleton.

Ha was present and directed it. "It was a snap meeting and nothing but that, of alleged Citizens Union men, Both privately and publicly I tried to force Mr. Appleton and the others to stop It and await a regular meeting of the Union that we would have next week. But they refused. Then, of course, I withdrew.

"The notices for this meeting were In many cases received only twelve hours In advance. No roll call was held. Those of us who were there from tho Citizen's Union could not Identlfyy most of the people. If ever a meeting was packed this meeting was packed and by Dady and Appleton. The climax was capped When at least thirty men came in from the Republican aldermanlc convention, and voted, "O'Neill, the slated Republican candidate for the Assembly, and Appleton, declined mjr offer as chairman of the Citizens Union district organization to hold a regular meeting next week after the Republican and Democratic conventions In order to decide which nominees the Citizens Union should support.

"The notices for this meeting were not sent out by the officers of the organization. We knew nothing about the calling of this meeting until we got the notices. The one I received was dated October 9, but its postmark showed It was not sent out until October 11. These notices were signed by ten. petitioners R.

Rnss Appleton, J. Warren Greene, Frederic P. Bellamy, Josenh 0. Harris, M. B.

Last week the delegates and alternates from the First District to the City Convention of the Citizens Union met and voted not to resmniend the re-nomlnaMon of O'XelM to the Renuhlleans. but to adlourn until after the conventions of both parties. "In response to Mr. O'Neill's request for a general meeting I offered to call such after both conventions. It lis only proper for the Citizens Union to decide the candidates to sunnort after nominations on both sides have ben mad, then nicking the best msn." Mr.

Apnleton on bolne' asked what had to say nhout these Citizens Union charges answered: "I hive absolutely nothing to say. It was a meeting of regularly enrolled members of the Cltrzens Union." Thomas O'Neill said: "fo they're talking us. are thev? Well, nil this Is a very simple matter. We asked for a meeting. They Ignored us.

Last week the delegates. HIGH WATER. IDurafn of in length and four miles wide, with a storage capacity of 1,750,000,000 gallons of water. The cost, as specified, is to Include a complete and as nearly perfect filtration plant as can be secured for the filtration of all water before It Is distributed from the reservoir. The commission had caused to be drawn a large wall map, which was placed in the Board of Estimate room in the City Hall.

It gives a plan of the present water system, snd the proposed water system. It is a correct reproduction of the surveys already made, and shows the counties through which the aqueduct would pass, and the sources from which the city would receive its water supply. Chairman Simmons did not read his report, Mayor McClellan saying that was not necessary at this time, as the report would have to be carefully considered in detail by Engineer Nelson P. Lewis. Upon motion it was received and retained by the Board of Estimate, pending a public hearing to be held on October 27, at which time a public hearing will be had.

In the meantime complete reports of the proposition will be published in two papers of every county through which the proposed aqueduct is to pass. In a short report which the commissioners made to the Board of Estimate a comparison of cost of large water works for New York Is Included. The comparison does not nearly Include the full report, but gives Interesting facts and figures In connection with the proposed plan. It Is as follows: "New York city is growing so rapidly and Is already so great that a mind, even of large caliber, cannot readily comprehend the magnitude of her public works. Whenever figures are stated giving costs and capacities they are so stupendous that the uninformed or misinformed are likely to exclaim about extravagance.

This Is particularly true of the works for obtaining an additional supply of water from the Catskill Mountains. Geographically, New York Is unfortunately situated with respect to water supply, although this disadvantage Is partly counterbalanced by tho ease with which she can dispose of her sewage. "Several sources of water supply, which, as far as the actual conditions are concerned, could be utilized for the supply of the city, are prohibited because the streams are situated partly or wholly in other stotes. Legislation has forbidden the city to enter centaln counties in New York State which might furnish water. Hence the city Is forced to go about one hundred miles for an increase to Its supply, which can be obtained most economically from the Catskill Mountain watersheds.

The tabular statements below Indicate that although the estimated gross expenditure for these works Is very large, the unit cost for the quantity of water to be supplied compares favorably with that for works previously built for the city. Furthermore, when the difficulties and distances are considered, the cost- is found to compare not unfavorably with that of works constructed under favorable natural conditions In Massachusetts. Much of the territory In which the Catskill reservoirs and aqueducts must bo built Is mountainous, rocky and Inaccessible tor transportation and construction work.

Delcasse from the ministry of foreign affairs, Inspired paragraphs Indicate-that they have produced a most unpleasant effect among th members of the German government. The manner In which the statements attributed to M. Delcasse were received In England is far from satisfactory, and their prompt repudiation in an informal manner by the British government was what the German government desired. It Is ex-peoted that when questioned on the subject the British government will deny in Parliament the Matin's speclfto utterances about British offers of military aid. The British government, It la learned, gave Germany satisfactory assurances last June that no offensive or defensive alliance existed between Great Britain and Francs.
