WATER PIPES TOO SMALL.
A Large Supply Will Necessitate
Changes

If ever a larger supply of water is
brought to the city it will not be service
able to the people through the pipe lines
until the defects in the distributing sys-
tenn are remedied. City Engineer Kelsey
last evening, when Councilman Robert
sons resolution pertaining TO the subject
was under consideration, that wherever
three and four-inch pipes feed tubes Of
larger diameter. much dissatisfaction eX-
lists because when there is q heavy draft
il is impossible to force enough water
larger ones. On the north and east bench
and in the southeastern part of the city
the pipes are all lateralS, and or mains
there are none. Ultimately, and the SOON
er it is done the better, the engineer add
ed it will be imperative to lay a series of
large mains to feed the laterals- Evident
~ the system had been constructed by
guess-wOrk rather than on calculations
from scientific basis
Another matter demanding earnest at
tention is the need OF storage reservoirs
as a part of the pipe system The en-
gineer spoke of the hole in the ground at
the head of First South street The eX-
to store 100000 gallons of water. The
cost will be about $4,000.
The committee requested the engineer
to prepare q statement or the deIectS IN
the system and an estimate of the cost or
remedyng the shortcomings, so that a
recommendation covering the matter
could be submitted to the council. Coun-
Gilman Patrick asked where the money
was coming from TO pay for these much
needed bettermentS, and his colleagues,
puzzled over the problem, shook their
neads in reply.

ALGER's HOSPITAL PLAN.
Proposed Combination of Division
and Regimental Hospitals.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29-Import-
ant results are likely to follow the ex-
tensive tour Of inspection of the mill
tary camps just completed by Secre-
tary Alger and especially in the mat
ter of reOrganizing the hospital ser
vice in the field. The secretary confer
red closely with commanding officers
and medical officers at the camps, but
especially with the IS cOlonels whom he
met, looking to the ascertainment of
their views upon the relative merits of
the division hospital and the regimental
hospital
The defect of the division hospital, in
the mind of the soldiers, is the separa-
ton of the soldiers of the same regi-
ment, causing great discomfort, low
spirits and encouragement. The men
will often go to great lengths to con-
cea1 real illness in order to escape be-
ing sent to the hospital. Against the
regimental hospitals, it is urged that
the men cannot be properly taken care
of with troops on the move, with no
female nurses. and with a lack of every
sanitary and medical device that mod
ern practice has come to regard as es-
sentiaL Nowhere We're the complaints
of neglect and insufficient accommoda-
ton for the sick SO numerous as in the
cases of these regimental hospitals in
the early stages OF the war
Secretary Alger has framed a pro-
1ect for the amalgamation of hospitals,
in such manner as TO retain the most
desirable features of both. His plan is
TO have the division hospital arranged
in sections of tents, lying in wings
branching off from a central aisle.
These can be very easily made by the
Use of a few flies and a proper con-
nection of the common A tents Then
The sections are to be allotted to the
different regiments in the division, each
IN care Of one Of the regimental doc
tors, yet receiving the attention Of high
class talent and female nursing which
is possible only in the big division hos
pitfalls. In this way the men would pre-
serve the individuality of their COM
mands and the idea may be carried out
so far as to subdivide the sections
into smaller sections, assigning one to
each company in the regiment. and
thus enabling the sick men to make
sure of falling in with their mates
when they go to the hospital.
Secretary Alger believes that the SOL
diers would thus be reconciled to go
ing to the division hospitals. where
they can secure the best of food ara
1uxuries, lie alongside of their compan-
sons and receive the benefits of iaun-
dries. kitchens. etc.

European Clothes Precipitated the
Crisis at Pekin.
DEATH TO REFORMERS
SIX WERE EXECUTED AND THE
EMPEROR MAY FOLLOW.
Dowager Empress Will Appoint a
Figurehead As His Successor and
Continue to Rule-Is Opposed to
Russian Aggression-Turks In
Crete Trifle With the Powers.


Pekin, Sept. 81 (via Shanghai, Sept
29).-The developments of palace af-
fairs confirm the belief that the en-
peror, by the radical reforms which he
had decreed, prepared himself for the
blow struck by the dowager empress.
The successive edicts furnish a his
tory of the trend of affairs. The en-
peror's chief adviser, Kang Yuwei, OBJ
tanned unbounded influence over him
and inspired the reforms. The official
classes opposed him and consulted the
dowager empress as to means for null
lifying these reforms.
The current story is that the immedi-
ate cause of the emperor's downfall
was that he appeared one day in Eu-
ropean clothes. This Offense, it Up
pears, was aggravated by the arrival
in China of the Marquis Ito, the Jap
anese statesman, which alarmed the
palace officials, as foreshadowing jap
anese influence in the empires coun-
ellis. Thereupon the dowager empress
acted with wonderful promptness and
deposed her nephew before the Pekin
people were aware she had left the sum-
mer palace. Kang Yuwei, foreseeing
trouble, fled two days before the crisis.
His followers were arrested today.
Hsuying- 'Ouei, whose dismissal
from the Chinese foreign Office was Sc
cured by the British minister some
time ago. on the ground of bad faith,
has been reappointed.
The announcement of the emperors
death is expected soon, and the daw-
ager empress is likely to appoint a fig
urehead as his successor, retaining the
real power herself.
One report says the empress has
strong views regarding Russia's ag-
gression in Manchuria, and though she
is likely to restore Ii Hung Chang to
power she is not likely to countenance
his Russian leanings.
