THE WORK RETARDED
RAINS INTERFERE WITH THE
FILTRATION PLANT.
The Contractors Conducting Operations
on Large Scale-Railway
Track Laid.

Colonel Miller. the engineer officer In
charge of the District water supply sys-
tenn, has made a report to the chief of
engineers in regard to the progress of the
work for the establishment of the Ultra
ton plant near the Soldiers Home. 1t
appears from this report that the contrac-
tors. COwardin. Bradley. Clay Co.. are
conducting operations on an extensive
scale. but that they have been somewhat
retarded In the progress Of the work OF
excavating by frequent and heavy rain
storms. The contractors have continued
excayating with wheel scrapers on squares
ii and Is on the sites of beds No. 10 and
"a. They are also using thirty-ton steam
shovel. carrying IA cubic yards bucket.
This shovel started near the southern
boundary of square 49, and excavated n
trench running a little east OF north, al
most to the northern boundary OF the
square. where 1t curves toward the east,
and then to the southern part OF square
H. where 1t runs into the area excavated
by the scrapers. The bottom of this trench
is at elevation about 1893. The material
eXcavated from the trench was hauieo
away in dump wagons.
A standard gauge railroad track was
laid in the trench and continued to the
south along the side of the ravine just
north of Baltimore street. Two trans VI
eight cars each, the cars each having a
capacity of A.. cubic yards. are now used
to remove the excavated material ana
deposit it in the ravine. The eXcaFatlnS
is being continued by widening the trench
to the north and west.
Grader" in Operation.
A New Era grader with an estimated
capac city of 500 cubic yards per e1ght-hour
day has been put into operation on square
IA. the material being hauled away in dump
wagons traction engine furnishes the
motive power for this machine. second
steam shovel of JO-ton weight and one
and one-half yard bucket has been put IN
position on the site of the pumping station
and third shovel of Cotton weight with TWO
and one half yard bucket, is also being put
in position.
Col. Miller says that owing to the mex
perience of the operatives and the 1nitlai
shyness Of the mules hauling the dump
wagons the grader has not developed IT'S
full capacity. but it is believed that 1t Will
be able to do so in a short time The trees
on the site of the filtration plant west OF
LIST street are being removed and cut into
railroad ties and other lumber by porta-
BILE steam saw mill. The iron fence around
the Washington reservoir is nearly COM
pleted.
According to the report. the water served
to the people of the District during the
month of June was clear fifteen days and

RUMoRs OF COMING WAR.
Japan and Russia Moving Steadily on
Toward a Certain Result.

The following dispatch has been received
from Tokyo, June 25 via Victoria, b. C.,
July r.:
The political atmosphere Of Japan during
the last week has been thick with rumors
of impending war.
The immediate cause of the angry senti-
ment Is a SUCCESSION of reports OF Chinese
diplomatic intrigue with Russia at Picking
and Of the Russian encrOachment upon
Corea. Several secret cabinet meetings
have been held. On the 18th there was an
extraordinary cabinet meeting. at which
Admiral Baron YamamotO, minister OF the
navy who has been testing the efficiency
OF all the Japanese naval ports. was pres
ent and it was rumOred that the cabinet
was unanimous for a positive policy. haV-
ing for its object the checking of Russia by
an appeal to arms II necessary.
Grave Political Crisis.
On June %, at a conference of the older
statesmen, an ex-officio political power in
Japan was called before the throne. Mar
auis Ito. Field Marshal Marquis Yamagatia.
Field Marshal Marquis Oyama. Count Mat
sukata and Count Inonye were present. and
the premier and ministers of war and the
navy and foreign affairs Joined. The grave
political situation was discussed at length.
Japanese papers point to the conference as
showing the increasing gravity of the sit
uation.
The compelling cause Of these secret
conferences was the announcement from
Picking that a secret convention had been
concluded between the Russian minister
and Prince Ching and signed on the 10Th
1t was said that when the Japanese minis
ter Intercepted him on June ; the prince
fatty denied the existence of any secret
agreement with Russia.
Later it was announced that the agree
ment. containing four parts. had been for
warded to St Petersburg for imperial sane
ton, whereupon 1t would go into immediate
effect. The belief is that The convention
exists. but that it was concluded between
the Russian minister and the Chinese min
lister. 80 that Prince Ching will be able to
ence.
Russia Holds It's Own.
In the meantime. it Is stated. Prince
Ching informed Mr.. TOwnley. British
charge d'affaires at Picking. that Vice Min
lister Lien Feng had been comforting with
the Russian minister, and arrangement
wholly satisfactory to the powers concerned
would be concluded shortly.
Russia still maintains it's grasp on the
timber cutting provinces on the Yalu. and
has sent formal note to the Corean gov
eminent maintaining its right there.
RusSiaS military preparations near Ya1u
are being continued On June IS 400 Rus
sian cavalry, with one gun. arrived at An
tung Huien. being the advance party of nu-
merous artillery and cavalry which left
Lao Yang for the Yalu. These reports are
confirmed by official advices received at
Peking.

building. The japanese were seated on
one side and the Americans on the other.
The interpreter took his position between
the two down on his knees. not daring to
look at either party, but merely repeating
the communications as an automaton or
machine might have done. Our grand old
commodore, with his imposing presence and
