At the reading of the minutes thero were present: .Attorney Gonoral H. E. Gooper, president, Dr. Em erson, Dr.' Day, Dr. Wood, Geo. W. Smith and David Koliipio, mombors; Charles Wilcox, secre tary; Dr. Alvarez, superintendent Ealihi station; Dr. Herbert sup erintendent lunatic asylum; llu dolph Herbs, sanitary enginoer. Tho president stated that ho bad invited Mr. Hering to be present to discuss with the board tho ques tion of filtration of the wator sup fily. Ho understood that Mr. Her ng placed a puro supply of water ahead of a sewerage systom in importance As Mr. Hering was a very busy man,t thoy would hoar him as the first business. Mr. Horing said that if they could got enough ground wator what is hero called artesian which has already been filtored by nature it would bo preferable to an oxtonsion of the gravity supply wimaruuuiui uiuuuuu. TGo conversation took a turn on (he question of tho purity of tbo artesian water. Analysis of this water had yielded no deleterious ingredients. Mr. Smith stated. All .. a . a that micnt be expected -was lime, from tho coral come in contact with. Mr. Horine had hoard it said that waste artesian water had boen noticed to develop a croen ish scum. This might be only nitrates, produoed by tho decom position of vegetablo matter. Ni trates wero rocoonizpd as a valu able plant food. Thoy wero tho result of tho transformation of oruanio into mineral mattor and tbo creen material did not necos sadly signify tho presenco of hurtful baotona. filtered sur faco water would produco tho very same manifestation. Ho repeated that if sufficient ground water could do ootainea, it ousui to be made tbe exclusive supply. If tho experience of other parts of the world was worth anything, there was muoh dancer in con tinuing to use Burtaco water-without filtration. Artesian" wator involved the question of expense for supplying it to tuo nigner levels, ior mnaD iting which thoro was. at present a etronc tendenoy. Tho natural sand here was not suitable for filters. Proper mate terial could bo made by crushing tho hard native rock. There was liability of tho water being Commissioner Coming to Hawaii For Material. Sajs He With Will Take Bishop Museum "Back Hfm Exposition From July to November. Mr, LyouB of tho Wentbor Bur u wyn tlila it "volcano weather, rendered hard from filtration through such artificial sand. It would take mote than tho three remaining woeks of Mr. Hering s stay, to make a desired experiment on this point. Dr. Wood'brought ap tho ques tion of raising water to tho liigh- oat levels probablo to bo sought for residence Mr. Horine told of an automatic system at New London, explaining thatit involv ed a certain loss of head to tuo general supply. Dr. Jmoraon inquired as to cost of increase in keeping with requirements of tho growing city. ruo answer was inai proper in formation would cost a great deal of work. Mr. Smith pointed out that Mr. Hering'a roport on filtra tion contained somo calculations in this regard. Could a Blow filtration systom bo constructed at Boon as a quick systom might be ttrdorod and brought out from Now York? Hardly. About all tho labor that could bo spared' hero would bo nuedeil on tho aeworago construc tion, Ono of tho two New York concords should bo ublo to put n enti nays INilltllilR'il on l'uti 8, Tho U. S. Transport Warren (formerly the Scandja), Hart cora mauder, arrived in, port and hauled alongsido tuo Occanio wharf at about 11:30 a., m. today, after a fino trip from Ban Francisco with over a thousand of Uncle Sam's soldiers tor Manila. Tho Warren eailod from San Francisco at about 3 o'clock on the afternoon of tbe '20th, two hours later than the Bio de Janeiro. Tho Newport sailod about two hours and a half before tho Warron, but took a moro southerly course on account of the heavy swell mot with on pass ing out of tbo Qoldon 6ate; Tho Warron went right into the worst of tho swoll and thereby mado quicker timo than tho 'Newport. Ihnt transport should bo along some timo this afternoon or ovon inc as she is about as fast a boat as tbo Warren. Tho Warren has aboard 1,189 men all told. Theso are divided as follows: Eight batterioa of tho Gth Artillery (947 mon), 50 hospital men and 192 recruits for otuer regimonis now iu me run- lppiueB.

Oloman, tho trans- Eort quartermaster, is ono of the est liked officers in the expedi tion. Ho was at one time tho chief commissary officer in Ma nila but was forced to leave his duties on account of bad health. He returned to tho States and, having recovered his health, iB now .returning to Manila as the quartermaster of tbo transport. It is not at all unlikely that he will be given a higher office when ho reaches tho land of tho Filipinos. Tho band of tho Gth Artillery is ono of tho finest that has passed throuch on tho way to Manila. As the Warron came around tho turn near the Ocoamo wharf, tho band boys stood ou the deck and played tunes that fairly mado fiooplo on snore danco witu ue ight. Tboy havo a very delight ful way of playing and their Bouza marches and rag time coon pieces cannot bo beaten. It is hoped that thoy will givo a con- cort ashore beforo they continue on their way to Manila. Thoro aro but few changes in tbo personnel of the officers of the ship. Captain Hart is still in command. Tho Chief Steward is now B. Peifer, who camo tlnough on tho last trip of tho Warren as Becond steward. Tho' tocond steward now is Thos, Madge. Coal is alroady piled up on tho wharf for tho Warron and work on .this will bo pushod rapidly bo that tbo transport will bo able to got undor weigh again on Saturday.

The Omaha oxposition will bo in tho nature of a colonial affair. Tho Govornmont has intorosted itsolf and will ship freo of chargo all exhibits from its uewly acquir ed territory to tho nearest seaport in tbo United States. Tho object of this Governmental encourage ment rests in the fuct that tho first opportunity will be given to Ame ricans of studying in full tbe re sources, exports and habits of tho peoplo of theso practically un known lands. Tho Philippines, Cuba, Porto Bico, the Lad rones and tho Hawaiian Inlands will bo represented at tho fair, not only by tho products, but by largo numbers of natives.
