The water supply Of Toxic. Japan, is by the
wooden water pipe system, which has been in
existence over 200 years, furnishing at pres
ent a daily supply OF from twenty five to
thirty million gallons. There are several
types of water pipes in use, the principal class
being built up with plank, square, and Sc
cured together by frames surrounding them
at close intervals. The pipes less than six
inches consist Of bored logs, and somewhat
larger ones are made by placing Il cap on the
top of log in which very large groove has
been cut. All the connections are made by
chamfered joints, and cracks are calked with
an inner fibrous bark. Square boxes are used
in various places to regulate the uniformity
of the llow of the water, which is rather
rapid, for the purpose of preventing aquatic
growth. The water is not delivered to the
houses, but into reservoirs on the sides of the
streets, nearly 1900 in number Scientific

Reward for the wbiteehapel Murderer
LONDON, Oct. 2-The lord mayor of Lon
don has offered ESQ reward for the arrest
of tbs Whitechapel murderer. Drs Forbes
Winslow and Sir Risdon Bennett, and other
medical experts, express themselves con-
WINGED that the perpetrator Of the crimes is
homicidal lunatic
The excitement occasioned by the latest
Whitechapel murders has increased rather
than abated. The police have made no pro-
gress in their efforts to establish a clew to
the murderer, and have further lost public
confidence in their efficiency by the fact that
persons arrested on suspicion of connection
with the tragedies were released for want o f
even scintilla of evidence upon which to
Justify their retention in custody. They
profess to be hopeful Of success, how
ever and many people are inclined to hope
with them IN the absence of any suspicion in
their own minds, even remotely defined, as
TO the criminals motive, calling or identity.
The private rewards offered for his arrest,
added TO that of the lord mayor, bring the
total sum up to 81 200, and it is likely that ii
will soon reach &, 900 The stock exchange

testimony which will Re given at the inquest
will prove that in one case the victim,

murderer and have not been found.

The letters of President Cleveland and
Gen. Harrison substantially differ only
on the tariff or the surplus which the

day. A message from the president announc-
ing his approval of the Chinese exclusion bill
was received and read. The message justifies
the bill, and charges its necessity to China
which has rejected the treaty, although it
had formerly agreed to the whole principle
involved in it. The Chinese government
also wanted an amendment which would
have put Chinese officials in control of the
whole matter of exclusion The message
recommends that Chinese who are now on
their way here be admitted under
the old treaty, and that the bill appropriat-
ing s27B 900 to indemnify Chiness for their
persecution by mobs, be passed. The message
