RIVAL TO STANDARD OIL.
An Independent Pipe Line Soon to
BE In Operation.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-An inde-
the seaboard is expected to be in opera
tion by October 1. the complete right OF
way having been secured. The project is
the undertaking of the United States PIPE
Line Company, which has been at work on
the line for more than two years. The
company has capital of $4,000, ,OOO all
of which is subscribed. and there is no
stock or bonds of the concern on the mar
ket. Joseph d. Ellis. of this city, has
been acting for the company in the matter
of obtaining rights of way and securing
wharfage property for the steamers TO De
operated by the company.
The company now has in operation a
five-inch pipe for refined oil and four
inch pipe for crude oil from Bradford to
Freemansburg. distance of 800 miles,
with capacity of 27,OOO gallons per day.
From Freemansburg the pipes will be ex-
tended eastward to Marcus Hook. Della
ware County, distance of sixty-hve
miles. The right of way for complete
line to the eastern terminus at Marcus
Hook has been secured. and riparian prop
erty with 1000 feet frontage has been
purchased from the Reading Railway at
Marcus Hook
Mr.. Ellis states that the chain is now
complete and that by next fall the inde
pendent company will be shipping oil to
foreign ports in it's own tank steamers.
The cOmpany now ownc four of tho IarFaSt
tankers, each $50 feet long. and by the
time the line is completed it will be in
possession of a full complement of vessels
and go extensively into the export oil
trade. Who the officers and stockholders
OF the company are Mr.. Ellis will not
state, but he declares that all the capital
is In hand and that the concern will be
one of the principal factors in the worlds
oil trade.
The adjoining property on the Delaware
River front has been purchased by the
Union Refining Company. which is at pres
ent erecting works there. This concern,
while au independent corporation, will CO.
operate with the new pipe line company,
and is also expected to be ready for busi-
ness by October /. The Union Refining
Company is corporation organized by
Bradford and Warren capitalists. with
A. c. Woodman as its president. 1t has
no connection whatever with the new pipe
line, those iSEerested state, and Will SIM
ply enter into a business arrangement
with the pipe line for mutual advantages.
The refining company has recently
purchased a plot of ground, 450 feet along
the river. and 2.eC0 feet deep from the
Reading Railroad Company. The wharfage
privileges have been secured. and both
the new corporations have excellent ship
ping facilities. The new pipe line will
run through this section, several miles
west of Philadelphia, and will reach the
eastern terminus by a short and direct
route. Mr.. Ellis says the line is as direct
as the topography and the geography of
the country through which 1t runs would
permit and when finished will be the
most complete in the world.

the Northern women were won to their

SYRACUSE. June 1O.-Mrs. James Small

THE QUALITY OF JAPAN.

Some surprise is reported to be expressed in
Europe, even In England. at the conduct or the
japanese in the operations leading TO the relief
of the legations at Picking. It is observed with
establishment that their commanders showed
great skill in all the ways and means or the
most highly civilized warfare, and that their
soldiers showed the most approved valor and
discipline Moreover, they were temperate and
humane, and. in brief they compared well with
any other troops in the world.
Our own surprise in the case is more at this
surprise than at the cause Of it. We had sup
posed that the war between China and Japan
had given the nations Of Europe just idea Of
the quality of the japanese in warfare, and that
the marvellous development and progress OF
that country in the arts and sciences and In
the humanities had shown sufficiently the char
acter Of Japanese civilization. True, people
have been saying that Japanese civilization is
only skin deep, mere varnish over ineradica-
BILE barbarism. II so, the varnish seems to be
uncommonly durable. 1t is weatherproof 1t
does not wear off You cannot, as a rule,
scratch Jap and find Tartar.
This prejudice against the Japanese and this
incredulity concerning their real civilization,
must be regarded, it seems to us, a survival
of the ancient race and creed hatreds Of the
dark ages. There is an old, old lesson, which
the world has not fully learned. Richard
might have learned 1t from Saladin, and Bona
parte from Toussaint, and KRUGER from Khama-
1t is to be hoped that one of these days it will
be learned, and that we may all come to realize
that-pdce the German Emperor-men may be
good soldiers even though they are not Chris
tians, and may be humane in spite of having
yellow skins and diagonally set eyes No doubt
of the Caucasian race are the people But
we are not sure that quite all of chivalry and
virtue will perish with u.s.

ONE GUN RTs

When England stole our clubtopsafl It's an
probation Of our invention was too compli-
mentary for resentment, and when American
yachtsmen adopted the English one gun start
they were well aware that they annexed a good
thing. That all the yachts Of a class should
make active a start as possible with the con-
sequent advantages going TO the vessel which
adroitly places itself in a position to get awav
first, is proposal that has 50 much reasonable
ness in It that II is difficult to see the value of
counter argument We under the impress
sion that in the hundreds Of yearly regattas
sailed in Eastern waters the one gun start is
now universally used, as it certainly is in all the
Journeys Of the Long Island Sound Association.
and in the recent sailing OF the best American
yachts good many smart amateurs have found
it rather tiresome to have to go back to an al
most obsolete custom in the send Off OF racfnR
vessels
In the competition for the Astor cutter c1In NJ
Newport last Monday the vessels were allowed
i've minutes In which to Cross the line after
the starting signal was given. Within this five
minutes the difference in the starting times Of
the various yachts was 70 be calculated at the
finish. The consequence that no one could
tell how the Yankee stood in the contest she
having crossed into the race over four minutes
behind the leading boat, and it was only when
the yachts turned the lightships that they could
be accurately timed, and their true relative
positions discovered after resorting to a tiresorna
calculation Of figures In this case the first
mark over seventeen miles from the start
and in the long time occupied in beating that
distance one. not even the committee knew
whether the Yankee. a most interesting boat
was being defeated or winning. At one time she
seemed to be gaining the leaders and within
her difference of time on the start but that. af
ter ALL was merely long range guessing.
For the inexpert spectator. who naturally
thinks the leading boat is winning, this system
requires more explanation than most people have
the patience to give even II II were understood
when given When the Mneola was finishing
the last sixteen mile one could tell with
certainty whether the Yankee had or had not
caught up sufficiently TO win the timed start
and we have hesitation in saying that this
method damages the interest even for the most
expert In races Of this kind where the close
computation of seconds Is necessary. the com
mittee alone Possesses the official times Of the
starts. and perhaps a thousand spectators are

FILTERING CITY WATER.

noteworthy and characteristic example of
the inslncerity or the ignorance OF the city Of
fcials who are, consciously or unconsciously,
working IN the interests of the monstrous Ram
apo grab scheme is furnished in the utterances
upon the subject of filtration put forth the
other day from the office Of the Water Com
missioner. Filtration for the whole city" 1t
was said, els simply impossible. No city in
''the world has a complete system OF hltra-
''don." We do not know how many average
readers are so unfamiliar with the facts In the
case as to be deceived into accepting such a
statement as true. Certainly every one who
has paid any attention to the subject of urban
water supplies must know that It is false In
general puTport and false in particular detail
There are many large cities using q large
proportion Of filtered water. London is one Of
them. Berlin is another. with very large and
elaborate filtration system Budapest is a third;
filtration having been introduced in a large
part of it after the cholera epidemic of 1892,
with the result that cholera entirely disap-
peared and the ravages OF typhoid and scarlet
fevers and diphtheria were and have since been
greatly lessened But these only partial
examples The city Of Altoona has for more
than thirty years filtered all Of its water sup
ply. The city Of Brunswick does the same.
The city of Breslau gets all its water from the
Oder River and filters every drop Of it. But
perhaps the most noteworthy case is that of
the great city Of Hamburg The cholera cpl
demic of 1892 convinced 1t of the necessity of
purifying its water supply. It went to work
with splendid energy, and by May, 1898, had a
complete system Of filtration, the largest and
most perfect IN the world. The water is
taken from the Elbe River as unclean as that
of the lower Hudson. In 1898 it was swarmng
with millions of cholera germs to the cubic
inch But 1T was run through filters. every drop
Of 1t, and came out as pure as the water that
gushes from an Alpine glacier Since that time
the entire supply Of Hamburg has been thus
filtered and made almost as pure as distilled
water, and water Of that quality is now used
for every purpose even for washing the streets
and for flushing the sewers
And IN the face Of such facts, perfectly well
known and easily accessible to all, city officials
Of New-York have the effrontery to say that it
is impossible to filter New ork's supply and
that mo city IN the world has complete system
of filtration! In the name Of RamapoI
