SOLE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
SCHEMES TO DEFEAT THE
 PROJECT.
Mayor Snyder and Councilman Hutchinson on the Alert and Working for the Pub
 lie Interest.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, June 9.-The water question is again becoming the sole topic of discussion in municipal gov ernment matters and within sixty days its settlement will be effected in this far-the point will be decided as to whether or not municipal operation of the plant will be obtained.
 A strong effort is being made to com- plicate and confuse the public mind by injecting into the fight at this juncture a proposition for partial ownership by the city of the lighting plant. Mayor Snyder and Councilman Hutchinson are thoroughly posted on this scheme and have taken a bold stand against 1t. They state that when the water question is disposed of then they will favor the city purchasing the full and complete lighting plant and operating the same not only for the city, but for private customers who may be best served by the city's plant.
 In few days there will be joint meeting of the City Council, directors of the water company and Mayor Shy der to discuss matters and make one last effort to arrive at an understand ing. Very little hope Is held out that anything can be effected.
 E. Woltman, representing Kessler & Co.,, the New York bankers, who have made a proposition to the city to take the present plant clear of all legal diff faculties and operate it, has returned from New York to renew and further explain what his principal will do to secure thirty years lease. During the next six weeks there will be some busy times here in the water imbroglio and the outcome cannot be predicted.

 THE SCENE.
All Foreign Residences Along the Yang-Tse Destroyed-Reported Murder of Three
 Missionaries.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, June 9.-Oriental ad- vices are to the effect that China and Japan are having trouble again. Com plications have occurred in China, one after another, and now the Japanese consulate at Shashi has been burned down.
 It seems that rioters at Shashi raided the Japanese consulate, set fire to the building and also destroyed all foreign residences along the river Yangtse. A Shanghai dispatch says the rioters are believed to have been instigated by Chinese officials who were recently dis charged from service. On receipt of the news of the riot the Minister of the Navy issued instructions to the con- manders of the cruiser Ia Kao at Shanghai and the gunboat Maya at Sa- zecho to immediately proceed to the scene of the disturbance for the protec- tion of the Japanese residents.
 H. M. s. Esk has also been ordered to the scene of the outrage.
 A major in the Russian army ac- companied by number of non-com- missioned officers has been negaged in a typographical survey of Haamg Yong and Kai Won, Korea. The party re- gently arrived at Wcnsan and is re- ported to have committed gross out rages on women and others along the road. They murdered Korean and afterward proceeded to police station and killed one of the sergeants. After this they attacked a church where French missionary lived, but were re- pulsed by the latter, who fired pistol al them.
 It is reported that three missionaries of the International Missionary Ali ance have been murdered in the prov ince of Bunan. The name of one of the victims is given as MT. Chapin, son or a former missionary of the American

CONFERENCE OF HEBREWS.

NEW YORK, June 9-An important conference of members of the Jewish faith of this country and Canada, which may effect important and radical changes in that religion, is sitting in the Spanish and Portuguese synagogues here. The conference is the outcome of great deal of discussion among the orthodox Jews, who have felt for some time that too many of the younger ele- ment of the faith were slipping away. The conference, it was said, may result in radical departure from some of the observances of the Jewish faith that have obtained for ages
