torneys. acknowledging the receipt Of
the letters and blue prints and stating

pany did not agree to the locations
decided on by the department. Mr.

ter TO the City Solicitor. which was
done.

Lea letter, said he thought the mains
would be laid in places the board
thought would be to the best interest
of the city, Notwithstanding

FILTER PROCESS
IS SUCCESSFUL
Water Filtered by Means Of
Chemicals Is Freed From
Disease Germs
COST OF FILTRATION REDUCED

There has been much discussion recent
ly regarding the proper method TO be om-
ployod by which people Of Wilmington
could be supplied with good and whole
some water for drinking purposes ana
there has also been some diversity Of
opinion as to how water should be hlt-
cred.
When the subject Of the establishment
Of a filtration system and the building Of
new reservoir was discussed in City Coun-
eli MIR. Ross. member from the First ward
took considerable interest IN the subject
and even went so far as to make trip
west to ascertain methods used In that
section OF the country for filtration. His
observations were interesting. IL was
found that in st. Louis. Mo-, water for
city purposes was taken directly from the
Mississippi river. but although 1t was
very muddy before 1t passed through the
filtration process Il was as clear as crys-
tai when It entered the reservoir
The process used IN hitering In
st. Louis is different IN large extent
from that used In Wilmington. IL COM
sists OF a series OF basins, six In number
through which water passes before II en-
tors the supply mains. AS the water flows
through the intake pipe from les source,
and before Il reaches the inlet to the
first basin Il is treated with "a solution Of
sulphate OF iron and lime. BY the action
OF these chemicals the solids In the water
/ together with any germs that may exist
settle to the bottom Of the reservoir with
In a short radius from the point where
the water enters This spot is naturally
cloudy but beyond the water is clear as
crystal.
After leaving the first basin the water
flows over dividing sections Ia the reser-
voir until IL reaches the sixth and last,
where It drops distance OF three feet
thus aeriating it before Il passes through
the citys mains.

To-day the roads around here are filled

The Chinese greet the Russian sol

which ID repeated over and over again
Many OF their. homes have been devas
tated. but Notwithstanding they ex
press their Joy at getting back to the
peaceful and Industrious occupations.
Furthermore. the game OF neutrality
to each side which the Chinese have
been Obliged to play for 80 many
months has been hard one and peace
has brought relief from this strain.
Il is no exaggeration to say that the
Chinese are now the happiest people
In Manchuria.

Oyster Bay. L. l.. Sept. 14.-Presi'
dent Roosevelt has denounced as q
fabrication and as wholly without
foundation in truth the report Of an
interview with him regarding the
terms Of peace between Russia and
Japan published In the Petit Paris
ienne. OF Paris and cabled to America
and published here.
AZ soon as the purported interview
was called to his attention the presi-
dent directed Secretary Loeb to send
to the correspondent OF the Petit
Parisienne. who was received ct Sag
amore Hill. the following telegram:
Castor Richard. Hotel Lafayette.
New York City: The president d.
rects me to say to you that the al
legged interview with him published
In the morning papers is not only an
absolute fabrication, wholly without
basis OF truth. but that your conduct
In obtaining permission to see him
under false pretenses Is thoroughly
dishOnOrable. When you came to see
the president you informed him that
you were the grandson OF Marshal Au-
gereau; that you had been at the bat
tie OF Mukden with the Russian army
and with the Japanese army after
wards: that you understood thorough
ly that you could have no interview
Of any kind and that you simply
wished to pay your respects to him.
Under these circumstances the prssi-
dent received you and listened to your
account OF your experience with the
Japanese and Russians and spoke to
you also OF the deeds Of Marshal Au-
gereau and Of Napoleon's other gen.
erals The president had no cOnyer-
sation with you about the terms Of
peace and your account Of your al
legged Interview with him Is fabri-
cation from beginning to end. without
any foundation In fact: and both your
untruthfulness and your obtaining
permission to see him under false pre-
lenses the president considers highly
dishonOrable."

INTENDED DEPARTURE FOR HIS
HOME IN JAPAN Is INDEFi-
NiTELY POSTPONED.

New York, Sept. 14.-Three physi
clans who are attending Baron Ko
mura, the chief Of the Japanese peace
envoys, have decided that the baron
has typhoid fever. His intended re
turn trip to Japan, via Seattle. has
been postponed and nurses hastily
summoned to his apartments In the
Waldorf Astoria hotel. The baron's
temperature is 102 degrees and he is
said to be very Ill. though only In the
first stages of the fever. The decision
rs to his illness was reached after a
consultation of Doctors Delafield
Brewer and Pritchard.
One of Baron Komura's physicians,
DR.. w. b. Pritchard, announced later
that he disagreed with the diagnosis
that the Japanese statesman is suffer.
ing from typhoid fever. The typhoid
diagnosis. he said, was made by Dr.
Delafield, who was especially sum.
moned here from Virginia to give an
opinion on the case. DR.. Pritchard's S
own diagnosis is as follows:
my original opinion was that the
baron was suffering from an infiamed
gall bladder and l still hold to that
opinion. There is nothing serious in
the baron's condition now"
When DR.. Delafield was shown this
statement he still held to the typhoid
theory. but refused to discuss the case
further
1t has been decided that part of the
Japanese mission will return imme-
diately to japan as originally planned,
while Mr.. Takahira will remain in this
country with Baron Komura.
