Ido net tnink tbat he would wilfully or knowingly misrepresent tbe abilities of otber observers, professional or otherwise; and 1 aa sure that if he ia permitted to oondnct a series of experimenta with Contra Costa water in conjunction with Professor Bow-hill. Professor Cunningham aad myself, he will cheerfully abide by the result, whatever It may be. and Join with us In an honest report of the result of our testa.

a chaixuok. "Now I will make this proposal to Dr. Wythe, and it may be also regarded as a direct and explicit challenge to the Contra Coata Water Company. Let Dr. Wythe, Professor BowhiJI and Professor Cunning ham go to Lake Temescal and Lake Chabot and secure eamplee of thoae waters, with-oat interference or surgeetion on the part of anyone, the interested corporation, or those opposing them.

Let each of these experte make individual and independent experiment and then compare the results of their investigations. I will abide by the Joint report of theee gentlemen and I am eonfident that Dr. Wythe will not dissent from the analysis. "Let us have a further examination to finally decide whether the water furnished by the Contra Costa Water Company of Oakland hi "of remarkable purity aad ax eelience aad free from all unsanitary conditions, as asserted by D-. Wythe, or whether it is "unfit for human aa claimed by Professor Canning-bom and Pro feasor Bowbili.

What do yoa, think Wauklya woull report on water in tnat eonainoa -n aa aori a report would Dr. Wythe, conscientious experimenter that he ia, make, do you suppose "The water supply of London la tltared at Hampton Court. Wauklyn's analysis of the water above-that point shows that it contained .28 of albaminoid ammonia. 8nch ia the raw material with whien the water companies of the great metropolis have to deal. This water ia filtered by the best processes in existence and carries to tbe consumer containing .03 to .09 albaminoid ammonia.

Comparing the water of Lake Temescal. one of tbe sources of the Contr tfAt linnlv. I find a condition much worse tnan thstof the Thames above Hampton Court, or .3 parte per million of aibuminoia ammonia. iimoiu wo-ion that it will bs impossible to purify the water Lake Ttmeical unless the oausee of its impuritv are radically removed and the water subjeoted to the most perfect filtration without the use of alum." A TSAIHIU CHZ3O0T. Dr.

Wythe, lacking more substantial argument, hae referred slightingly to the scientific knowledge of the experts who have thue unequivocally condemned the water supply of the Contra Coata Company. For the information of the citizens of Oak and, who are to decide eventually on tbe merits of this controversy, It saay be tbat Professor Cunningham waa educated in his profession at the University of Ed nbnrgh in the school of medicine. He waa afterwards cheaaiet for the Lanark (Scotland 1 Oil Ha waa for four years chemist at the American Sugar Refinery in San Francisco. For two years be was adjunct to the chair of ehsmistry at tba University of California. He is now professor of chemistry of the veterinary department of tbe University of California and consulting chemist of the Children's Hospital of Ban Francisco.

Winslow Anderson, who indorses tbe report of Professor Cunningham and Professor Bowhiil, ia one of the leading authorities in the medieal profession of California, and bis assertion tbat the water furnished to the city of Oakland by tbe Contra Costa Water Company ia Impure and unfit for human consumption will sot be questioned by physicians, chemists or analytical bacteriologists. ztmotic ozaiis. When questioned concerning Dr. Wythe's flippant reference to himself and his associates in the report condemning the water supply of the Contra Coata Company, he dismissed that witty dissertation on the microbee of orthography in tbe spirit of humor that inspired it and confined bis commas to the more serious Question of tbe effect upon the healtb of this conn munity by the continued use of Contra Costa water.

It has only lapsed, however, for want of ammunition. Tbe agents are just as ready to cut each others' throats and policies today as they were when the campaign opened six weeks ago. They are not crying "quits," but bae simply exhausted their supply. The field has been so thoroughly covered that nothing remains to be done now but tbe cleaning up of tbe mass of office wnrk that has accummulated during tbe fight. The war has bsen one of the bitterest ever precipitated in this county.

It baa resulted in deeper cuts than has ever before been made for business and some phenomensliy low rates have been quoted where risks ate good and competition has been keen to secure tbe business. Tbis was notably indicated in tbe tight that wss made to reinsure the city and county buildings. These policies were cut to a minimum. Most of this business was rewritten at a cut of 75 per cent. Tbe prevailing rate, however, daring tbe war wag on tbe basis of a 50 er cent slash in rrgular rates.

This was very generally maintained, but In hard cases, a trimming on tbis figure would be mde, rather than lose the business. That tbe public as fully aware of the war is evidenced from the fact that tbe reinsurance of Oakland has not lelt anything to be written. On ail sides the work has been done with a completeness that has practically swept tbe city from one end to the other. Xbere will bo very little inmr-tnce written in Oakland during tbe next three years, unless a tremendous building; boom should strike tbe city. One of tbe features the present war has been tbe (treat number of long torm policies 'hit have been made out.

Tue major portion oi tbe reinsurance of everything but tbe business portion of the city was written for three years. There are very few policies upon improvements out side tbe main business center tbat have not been wnt en lor at east that lenetb of time Downtown 'he rifcs are all for shorter term, with ome exceptions. Even in tbe business district the competition for insurance has been so keen tbat three-year policies have been written. Ti ia is rarely done wht-n conditions are normal. ta nearly all tbe offices work is confined mainly to the settling up of business connected with tbe war.

There 11 a great deal to be one In tbis direction, and it Will be some weeks before the offices will be running again in first-class order. A nu- ber of tbe local agents have been so wrought-up over the cam- paien tbat is just beine concluded thai their appetite have bean whetted lor iresh iields of conquest. Tbe possibility and, in faot, tbe proba ility tbat tbe war will spread is vsry imminent. Tbe agsnts are gazing across tbe bay with a keen eye. They anticipate an outbreak of hostilities tbere within a week, and if some of them do not enter the battle it will be very surprising.

WAST TO GET EVEW. The Oakland agents would like nothing better than a chance to play even to some extent. Some of them already have lue.r erips packed, and propose to move to the seat ot war just as soon as Hostilities commence. It now seems very likely that an open outbreak will occur in Ban Francisco before many days. The Board of Under writers is on tbe eve of dissolntion.

About one-half tbe companies doing business on the Paciflo coast are out of the compact, and some of those stilt standing by ths combine are ready to with draw, two ot tbe largest companies in the union nave witain a ween given novice that they will resign their membership. As soon as the constitutional time has elapsed it will find these companies out and ready to cnt along with many other non-board companies. rne result will manuest itself during the coming week. The combine is now oa the eve of dissolntion and insurance men sav there is noth ing to prevent a general stampede within a week. As soon as this comes, rates in San Francisco will be at the merer of policy holders, and a repetition of the Alameda county war will be enacted.

Oakland will be well represented in the fray, for not a few local ageota are awaiting the signal to change their base of operations during the coming war. With rates open in San Francisco, there ia utue doubt tnat the war will spread to the entire coast. Announcement was made this morning that the Board of Underwriters would meet in San Francisco today for the last time as an organization. This would appear to mean that the insurance war acros a tne oay wui ae precipitates immeaiataiy. The 'Tether of Waters; is not mora malestie than tba -march of Dr.

The Contra Costa Water Company is en-; deavoring to defend itself against the assertion of scientific experts that the water supplied to the people of Oakland by thai corporation is "an fit lor human consumption," and is publishing an advertisement, Indorsed by Dr.

J. H. Wythe, claiming that this gentleman, la Septem her 1893. made a chemical and biological examination of the Contra Costs water, resulting in the discovery that this water "ia of remarkable parity and excellence, and ta free from unsanitary conditions," It will be observed tnat this alleged ex-' ainination of Contra Costa water waa made two years ago. It Is also noticeable that Dr.

Wjthe does not aay that be took his samples, personally, from the reservoirs or faucets of the i- Contra Costa Com pany he may have been fur Dished with samples for his tests by the "corporation, a party directly and vitally interested in the result. Moreover, be -makes-no reference to the number of the samples experimented with before one was found satisiactory to the corporation. Again it is peculiar that the corporation has concealed this valuable information Tintil the present time althouiU it ia not strange that they should now attempt to palm on oa the public a Deck number re-. port oa the quality of their water, hoping to beguile tneir patrons into tbe belief that the water tkey are now drinking is "of remarkable purity and excellence aad free from all unsanitary conditions."

This adrertisement of their water pub lish ed by tne Contra Coata Water Company is a defense against tbe report of Professor Bowbili, Professor Cunningham and Dr. Winalow Anderson, that the water, furniaued by tbe corporation is "onflt for human consumption." 4 In-tne latter instance tbe samples of water tested were taken personally by the experts from tbe reserroirs and mains of "'the Contra Coata Water Company. 4 Tbey were samples of up to data water tasted in 1896, being a portion of the water tbat some of the people of Oakland are drinking every day that tbey will drink tomorrow and the next day.

"Tnese ailments, always serious, and frequently tatal, are due in tbe first instance to the impure water supply and secmdsrily to the inhalation of sewer gases. "The ana ysis by Professor Bowbili and ProfeS'Or Cunningham are conclusive evidence, tbat tbe water furnished by the Contra Cota Company is excessively impure and utterly uulit for bumsn consumption. Acute infectious diseases may be water born and tbis is particularly tbe case wi typhoid fever. But it is not necessary tbat tne animal organlams in water used for drinking purposes should produce specific disease, to be deleterious to the health of a community. These organisms, constantly entering tbe human system, in the quantities shown by the analysis of the Coutra Osta will produce a weakening effsci.

TYPHOID COSTA MIK ATI OH. "Tbe excretions of a single person afflicted with typhoid fever would contaminate all the water in Lake Ohabot and Lake Tenaesoal," Dr. Anderson continued.

"Tbe disease of every person residing on the water sheds of the Contra Oosta supply is a menace to the health of every parson who drinks the water of that Company. Oakland baa had one severe lesson of this sort in typboid epidemic emanating at a milk ranch in the saburba, the cans of which were rinsed with water into which bad passed the excretions of a man affictad arith that disease. It may be that tbe inception of the eoidemie was emphasized by the use of water in the mile, as ia the custom of some dairymen who seek to improve the quality of their milk by thte dilution. I don't think that even Dr. Wythe will contend that the epidemic emanated directly from tne milk and I am of the opinion that he will agree with me that tbe bacteria of typhoid may be readily disseminated through the water supply of a city.

"As regard! tke filtration of water through the carcass of a dead opw, I will sav tbat the resullaftt saicM not be a disease germ in the sense that the microbe of diphtheria or typhoid la a dUeaee germ, but the effect would be emphatically deleterious, as In the oaae af every chemical alkaloid.
