News was brought by the Empress of India to Victoria, E. C.. yesterday, of the murder of Hoshi Toru. He was stabbed tao death at the city hall at Tokyo by Iba Botarlo. The murderer Is a man of in- fiauence and well to do. He entered the hall while Toru was chatting with the snayor and others, and plunged the knife 3'epeatedly into his aide, wounding him five tImes and making each wound deep and snortal. The assain, when overpowered, said h~ had been waIting to commit the deed, an had resnlved to sacrifice life and property to. murder the man. The murderer Is fifty- cane years old and president of the Japan Bank of Tokyo. Child Badly Emit.

GAT DIBTRIBIINIG CAPACITY More Money Needed for the Filtration Plant WILL PREVENT DISEASE It is anticipated that by October 1 next the city of Washington will be receiving its water supply from its new reservoir, now in course of construction near 1st street northwest, just southwest of the Soldiers' Home grounds. The work upon the reservoir and its sub- sidiary basins is being pushed with all possible expedition. The reservoir basin proper is rapidly nearing completion, while the work of constructing the clear-water basin adjacent thereto, is also being rush- ed. Almost a hundred men and a multi- tude of teams are busily engaged in build- ing the gates and other structures incident to the main water receptacle, while many laborers are also at work in perfecting the clear-water basin. By early fall it is expected that the water supply will be placed in this reservoir, from which it will be distributed via the new route in contemnplation. The Filtration Bed. During the coming session of Congress every effort will be made to secure an ap- propriation for the completion of the big filtration bed which is planned for con- struction contiguous to the reservoir And clear water basin. Roughly estimated the sum of $475-,00 has already been expended upon this project, but it is figured that a sum in the neighborhood of $l,325,xK more will be necessary before the work can be finished, bringing the total cost of the plant up to $2,040,000. It is hoped that at the next session a liberal sum may be appropriated so that the work can progress during the forth- coming year without hindrance or interrup- tion. It is estimated that it will require two years' time to complete this plant, so that the cngineers in charge are extremely anxious that there be no delay in the mat- ter. The new reservoir when completed and ready for occupancy will have a receiving and distributing capacity calculated to be in excess of the amount reuuired by the city at any and all times. It will be cap- able of handling in the neighborhood of 75,000,IWK0 gallons of water a day. and in view of the fact that the normal demand for water from the District is only about 50.EM,4MM), more or less. each day, the total amount ready to be furnished is regarded as of entirely sufficient quantity. The Big Reservoir Basin. The big reservoir basin proper is located east of 1st street and the clear-water basin, the latter lying between the street and the main basin. Nearly all the masonry inci- dent to the construction of the larger basin has been completed, and a stone facing about eighteen inches thick has been con- structed around its sides, sloping from bottom to top, a distance of about twenty- five feet. Practically all that remains to be done before the water is let into this basin is the removal of vegetable growth between the crevices of the side masonry and upon the earth at the bottom. Ad- joining the basin upon the east is the clear- water arrangement. which is not so nearly cmpleted. but which will be finished, it is expected, within a few months. This receptacle is about of equal depth. It will be used as a supply basin, being connected with the reservoir proper by four forty- eight-inch pipes. When the filtration bed shall have been completed the water sup- ply of the city will be let into that plant by the immense rpips of the Lydecker tun- nel from the distributing reservoir in West Washington, a distance of several miles, After being filtered the water will be passed into the clearwater basin, and then pumped through the big mains to the city. The amount of water to be contained in the clear-water basin from day to day will be almost up to the limit of the total ca- pacity, so that in case of emergency there shall be a sufficient supply at ready call. A new pumping station of immense power -a full description of which was printed in The Star some time ago-will be sta- tioned upon the southern bank of the reser- voir basin and in conjunction with the in- creased natural pressure on the water fur- nished by the new location enough force will be developed in distributing the water to effect a much stronger flow at every spigot in the city. In addition to this all the water will be allowed about five days for sedimentation before being pushed through the distributing pipes, so that after the completion of the entire system, including the filtration plant, the water supply will be both forceful and pure. The Slow Sand System. When the proposed filtration plant is established it will be conducted along ihe lines of the English or slow-sand system of purification. It is to be hoped that Congress will open its purse in order that this work may be continued without delay, and there is every reason to believe that it will do so. The small sum of $25,000i Is about all that is now available for expenditure, and more money will be needed in the immediate future if the work is expected to progress rapidly. According to present plans the new filtra- tin plant will be capable of purifying i'm,- 000,0 gallons of water a day. The method co-ntemplates the percolation of the water through a .bed of sand four or five feet thick. fly this means all bacilli and other impurities will be removed, and the water when distributed will be as near to purity as it is possible to attain. Area of Territory. An area of forty-live acres of territory has been placed at the disposal of the en- gineers now constructing the plant. Thirty- three acres of this ground is intended for occupancy as the plans now stand, al- though plenty of latitude will be allowed in case an extension is deemed advisable. When this filtration plant 1s completed it is expected that the city of Washington will be in position to receive the benefit of one of the finest of such institutions in the world. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBLE. Claim Growing Out of Tiber Sewer Construction. A claim growing~ out of the construction of the Tiber creek intersecting sewer through the Capitol grounds and the south- ern part of the city has been filed with the District CommIssioners. The United States Electric Lighting Company enclosed to the District authorities a bill against J. K. Murphy, the sewer contractor, for repairs to the electric conduit on B street and Delaware avenue southwest. The dam- age was due to settlements along the line of the sewer construction. The company states that it has been unable to get a satisfactory settlement with the contrac- tor. 0. L. Ingalls, assistant engineer in the sewer division, states in a report to the Commissioners that Contractor Murphy is clearly responsible for the restoration of the conduit, and should defray the ex- penses incurred, ie recommends that Mr. IJlurphy be called upon to pay this bill at once, or. in the event of his failure, show cause why the same should not .be paid by the District and the amount deducted from any amounts due him for the construction of the sewer. The Commissionerra have approved this recommendation. Owing to the ill-health of M. Jules Guer- in, who was sentenced by the French pn- ate to ten years' confinement int a tortler place for conspiracy against Ithe govern- ment, the government has now commuted Guerin's period of imprisonn ent to ban- ishment. Guerin wvas taken fom his cell in jail and subsequently put on board a train going in the direction of Basle; Switserland.

A Vienna cablegram says: Deputy Blau- mann has been commissioned by the rep- resentatives of the boot and shoe trade to question the statthalter in the lower Aus- trian diet as to what that body intends to do with regard to the threatened invasion of the Vienna market by an American syn- dicate. The local boot and shoe men con- sider that American competition menaces the very existence of the whole local ini- dustry. Eclipse Observations Failed. Prof. E. C. Barnard, formerly of the Lick observatory and now connected with the Yerkes observatory at Williams' Bay, Wis., has returned from Sumatra', where he went to observe the total eclipse of the sun on May 18. Prof. Barnard report, that all the astronomical expeditions sent out by vari- ous bodies and institutions were failures In a great measure, They have added little to the stock of astronomical knowledge. This result is due to the cloudy Weather that prevailed at all the stations but one, which happened to be imperfectly equipped be- cause It was expected the clouds would be thickest there.

Mrs. Mary Hunn, who lives at Fort Myer, while on her way home yesterday, going west on M street between 32d and Potomac streets, attempted to guide her horse clear of a *agon belonging to Calvin Marcey, which was standing near the curb. She did not steer far enough out in the road- way to avoid a collision and was thrown out of her surrey to the asphalt pavement. She sustained painful bruises about the head and limbs and was removed to the Georgetown University Hospital for treat- ment. Later she was taken to her home by her husband. William Alexander, aged twenty-six, a soldier, was taken in custody yesterday afternoon on a charge of stealing several coats, three shirts, a pair of pantaloons and a sweater, valued in all at $27.55, the prop- erty of William Blackwell, a waiter at Schladt's Hotel, who sleeps in a rear room of an adjoining frame house. Alexander was found with the clothing near him, he being intoxicated. A stolen razor was also found in his pocket, for which -in ad- ditional charge, that of carrying concealed weapons, was entered. Pat Mcauliffe and Pat Feeny, employes at Georgetown University, became involved -in an argument yesterday afternoon, the outcome of which was that McCauliffe struck Feeny in the head with a stone, for which he was arrested. He was later re- leased on $10 collateral. McCauliffe says Feeny used harsh and abusive language toward him and dared him to fight, and his patience was exhausted. Last evening nearly 100 people assembled in St. Ann's Hall and enjoyed a game of progressive euchre, one of the regular weekly series being given at the hall. The playing was to have been held on the lawn surrounding the rectory, but owing to the threatened rain storm the tables were ar- ranged in the hall. The proceeds of the affair will go to the new church building fund. The contract for furnishing the bread to the District militia at camp near Leesburg has been awarded to Fred. Stohlman of this place. About 1,500 loaves a day will be re- quired to feed the soldier boys. The funeral of Martha M. Carter was held this afternoon from her parents' resi- dence, at Tenleytown. NEW POLICE REGULATIONS. Commissioner and Police Chief Re- view the Revision. Mr. Henry B. F. Macfarland, president of the board of District Commissioners, and Maj. Richard Sylvester, superintendent of police, have just completed a careful and complete review of the revision of the po- lice regulations, as arranged by the com- mittee consisting of Messrs. Francis Nye and Daniel Curry. The regulations have been reclassified snd changed in verbiology in some instances, while all the amendments made up to date have been inserted in their proper places. Maj. Sylvester made a number of recom- mendations mn regard to the regulations, and these will be incorporated in the forth- coming edition. No radical changes have been made anywhere in the regulations. Mr. Macfarland stated that the Commis- sioners will gladly consider any sugges- tions that may be made by citizens who have given the matter attention and will forward their recommendations at an early date. The regulations will probably be placed in the hands qf the printers in about two weeks. Pubie or Private Alley? Mr. A. B. Duvall, attorney for the Dis- trict, has written to the District Commis- sioners stating that he has received the papers and request for an opInion as to whether the alley in the rear of premises 3073 M street is a public or private alley. Mr. Duvall says there is nothing in the papers to show the existence of a public alley at that point. The report of the san- itary inspector shows the existence of an alley and refers to the "Brewer" plat (un- official). "There is nothing on the plat to indicate the alley," says the attorney, "but I as- sume it to be the space south of lot 12. Before any determination can be reached it will be necessary to have some data re- specting the actual occupation, improve- ments, &c., of the space claimed as an al- Iey. I would suggest a reference of the matter to the proper officer to ascertain: First, what space is used by the public, and the period of time such use has con- tinued; second, what improvements, if any, have been made by the public authorities and where; third, what actual control over the same has been exercised by the public authorities."
