No Signs Of a Truce.

There has been a marked reduction
In the prices asked for stone ballast
within the past few days
Yesterday the matter reached what
is believed In shipping circles to be
the climax The extent TO which the
ballast war may go before "A flag OF
. truce Is sent up from the mast head
by the steycdores. is problematical.
Prom present indications it would
seem that II is simply n game OF the
survival or the fttest
Rock ballast sold for so cents a ton
yesterday. The great reduction from
the regulation 81 rate is ascribed TO
actiye competition alone. For the
past few months there has been q
constant reduction in the price OF bal
last delivered TO the ships side.
The advent OF the Japanese has
been the principal cause OF the cut
rates being promulgated. At the
present time there are about seven
teen japanese firms and four or FIVE
white men supplying ships with bal
last. The Oahu Railroad Is also &C
lively engaged In the business.
The prediction is made along the
mater front that the price may drop
TO thirty cents a ton. aud even lower
before the bottom will be reached.
Il Is generally conceded that there is
very little money IN the business for
white man at the prevailing price.
The Japanese. however. are meeting
all the cuts made by competitors and
besides cutting the rates OF each 9TH
er they are going their white brothers
one better every time there is a cut

awaited with interest Meanwhile

DR.. William C. Woodward, the District
Health officer, went to New York yes
terday in company with Senator Nc
MILAN and Representative Babcock,
Chairmen, respectively, of the Senate and
House Committees on the District OF Co.
lumbia. The purpose of the trip is to OBJ
tain opinions of experts concerning the III
tration Of water, and especially on the rel
alive merits of the English and American
methods of filtering. There are several
men of national repute in New York who
have given exhaustive study to the ques-
ton Of water filtration on large scale
with reference alike to the removal of silt
and of disease germs.
As explained by DR.. Woodward in re-
cent conversation with Times reporter
the District authorities are confronted
with a double proposition in the matter of
establishing a filtration plant for the Dis
trict. In the first place the Potomac wa
ter is full of impurities which make it APP
pear muddy. These can be removed best.
! he thought, by system similar to the
| old-fashioned sand filter. The idea is to
strain out the earthly matters and to leave
the water clear for drinking and domestic
purposes. The other phase of the ques-
tion is to strain out the disease germs.
This also can be accomplished by the me-
chanical system or slow filtration process
III the consideration OF the subject so
far in the District two plans for hltratlon
have been suggested. One is the English
| method so-called which is modification
OF the sand filter. the water being cleansed
by the mechanical process, as 1t is called.
The other is known as the American sys-
TEN, in which the filth of the water is
precipitated by the use of chemicals, prin-
cipally alum. and this is sometimes called
the rapid method OF filtration. 1t is claim
ed that each of these methods has Its i'd
vantages, and the advocates are loud IL
the praise of the system that they favor.
1t Is said. however. that while the Ameri-
can method has certain advantages in the
way of rapidity the use OF alum in the
water for the purpose Of taking out the
impurities is Objectionable. 1t is claimed
that while little may be gained in this
way even trace of the alum left in the
water would be harmful. The American
method is also cheaper. but 1t is matter
of doubt whether the system has any ad-
vantage over the English or mechanical
method in the matter of the removal OF
disease germs
It is with a view to settle these ques-
lions that the opinions of disinterested
experts in New York is sought. The tes-
timony given at the hearing will be
used by the District Committees of Con-
gress in deciding the question of estab-
fishing filtration plant within the Dis
trict.

clined or unable with the force at their

troops sent against the banditti showed
sympathy for them, many OF them
having formerly been soldiers. They are
better armed than tho troops, In a
recent conflict hundred soldiers
and officers were killed. The troops
Of Yuan shih Kai, Governor OF
Shan Tung, are the only ones that
can be trusted to act The result OF
