at the close of September was felt over
the entire japanese group. A vast
amount of property ashore and afioat
was destroyed and there was heavy loss
of life. Hundreds of houses were blown
down, flooded or otherwise destroyed.
At Toxic three lives were lost Two

out to sea and all are believed to have

wrecked off Karaura. The steamer

company had a very trying voyage while
bound from Yokohama. to Kobe. Con-
siderable damage was done aboard the
vessel Some of her boats were smashed
and her rails were swept away. The
vessel shipped two heavy seas, which
placed her in serious danger for a time.
At Yokohama the wind blew forty miles

destroyed.
J. C. Hemment, one of the passengers
returning on the Empress of Japan, was
present at the taking of the Peitang
forts by the Germans and Russians. He
says the French artillery was present
but did not take part, and the British
arrived after the Chinese guns were ST.
fenced. The Russians opened at 2 a. m,
and fired six shots before the Chinese re-
piled with shrapnel. which burst among
the attackers. AS the advance con-
tinued several mines exploded and two
mounted officers and ponies were blown
into the air. The gunners got the range
about a. M, and landed shells in the
forts, which were soon ablaze and the
Chinese guns silenced.
Passengers who arrived from the ORR

residences and stores at Tien Tsin and
Pekin were looted by soldiers, CORE

ADDITIONAL TEST ORDER.
Santa Fe Takes Fifty More Dodson
SIGNAL Lamps For Trial.

An order has been given for fifty more
DodsOn signal lamps, which are being
given a full test by the Santa Fe. This
brings the number that the Santa Fe
are using in the trials up to 100 They
have given splendid results thus far and
their ultimate adoption may be expected.
These lamps have double reflector, set
at slant angles toward each other, but
not meeting and the wick occupies what
would be the converging point. This ar
rangement permits of the use of a very
small wick, allows the lamp to be burn
ed continuously for five days before it
needs attention, and consumes only
about third as much oil as the lamp
in present use, at that

LOOK AT THE PIPES.
Waterworks Experts Show the
Council Samples.

Council Samples
The waterworks committee Of the
council met last night in Mayor Drew's
Office and examined a section OF the pipe
which had been removed from the jack
son street water main under the direc-
ton of the hydraulic engineers. The
committee was assured that the full re-
port of the engineers would be handed
in before the next regular meeting of
the council, which will be held on No
vember s.
Tuesday afternoon the mayor and sew
eral members of the committee went
with the engineers while they made their
last examination of the pipes and mains.
Excavations were made in different
places and the pipes were found to be in
fairly good condition. Not q pipe was
found which had been effected in the
least by. electrolysis. although it was
feared that considera BILE damage would
be found from that cause. It is rather
strange that the water mains should be
exempt from electrolysis in Topeka In
sandy places 1t was found that coat
ing a, quarter of an inch thick had set
tied upon the pipes, and that it acted as
a preventative. The coating was formed
of lime and iron which was in the soil.
A microscopic examination showed that
the coating was mostly lime.
The pipes have been in the ground
nineteen years, and when the time is
considered they are regarded as being
in remarkably good condition. The
council should see that the examination
of the pipes is thorough. The engineers
viii now figure up their estimates, and
when that is done they will try to get
together upon the total value of the
plant. Should they be unable to do so,
a third engineer will be called, but it
is thought that this will be unnecessary.
While there has been no written agree
ment that the city will purchase the
waterworks at the figures agreed upon
by the engineers, it is generally under
stood that it viii do so, and no difficulty
in that direction is looked for.
