resided Elijah Rice , his wife and fifteen
children. The eldest son , Louis , 22 years
old , recently became Insane and announced
himself as the "Prince of the Sand Hills"
and declared that Christ had appointed him
to reform the world. The mania extended
to the father , mother and the other chil
dren , who neglected the farm and spent
their time In singing and praying. Re
cently the father coneelve-d the Idea that
Louis was pursued by the devil and that
It must be beaten out of him. Louis was
knocked down with a leg of a chair , and

WASHINGTON , Nov. 15. The report ot
the commtesionfr of navigation for 1S8C.
after referring to the necessity for the
passage of a free ship bill , states our marl-
time rank on the Pacific le now threatened
by a new rival , Japan , which , under liberal
and progressive laws , has just established
a transpacific etcamstllp line to the United
States , and with the co-operation of Ameri
can capita' Is preparing to extend rapidly
the oervlce. In 1SSO the tonnage of Ameri
can vessels entering the United States from
the ports of Oceanlca and Asia was 2S3.895
tons , and of foreign vessels 442,251 tons.
In 1S95 the American tonnage entering was
305,451 tons , the foreign tonnage CD7.20C
tons. The large and profltablei carrying
trade , once conducted between Astatic and
European ports by American vessels , which
seldom entered American rorts , has almost
entirely paiced away. We have already
seen the An crican flag , commissioner
says , almost wholly disappear from the
mldatlantlc , save as borne by the mall
steamers of the American line , and thf
figures prci-ented show that the carrying
trade of the Pacific U slipping from the
United States. Before It Is altogether ,
Comnilssloi'er Chamberlain suggests that
congress Irqulrc Into the conditions or
transpacific tratspcrtatlon. For the control
of this trade , the United State * enjoys ob
vious nalvcal advantages. Within the last
five years Japan's seagoing steel steamers
have Increased from thirteen of 27.031 to
fiftj-three of 105.353 tons. The number of
steel and Iron steamers on the Pacific coast
Is forty-three of CS.C25 tons.
BY EXTENDING THE OLD ACT.
The report recommends an Immediate ex
tension of the act of 1892 under which the
steamships New York and Paris were ad
mitted to American registry and the steam
ships St. _ Louis and St. Paul were built In
the United States. Under existing law It
U Impossible to establish on the Pacific a mall
service even approximating our Atlantic
mall service under equal conditions with
those necessary to the recent creation of the
American line.
The report takes up at length the proposi
tion to Impose additional discriminating
duties of 10 per cent on all cargoes brought
to the United Staters in foreign bottoms. It
points out that every nation has followed
the principle of reciprocity In vessel mat
ters. Every other nation of considerable
maritime rank has adopted and now pursues
the same policy. Our total Import ? for 1 ! > W
wcro valued at $731.9C3.SG5. of which $590.-
.13S.3fi2 were brought In foreign vessels. The
discriminating duty bill would put an addi
tional charge of $59.000,000 on our interna
tional exchanges based on the figures for
1S95. an amount approximately equal to our
entire ocean freight bills on imports and
exports. In 1M)3 ) we Imported $95.000.000 of
coffee , of which $60.000.000 came from Bra
zil. At least nine-tenths of the $60,000,000
of coffee Imported Into the country from
Brazil , or $54.000.000. came In foreign ves-
, sels. for the extra sum , Mr. Chamberlain
says , which under the discriminating duty
project the American people would be re
quired to pay for Brazilian coffee alone ,
there could be established steicishlp lines ,
Including twenty-five steamers equal to the
St. Louis or St. Paul , or a much larger
number of the class required for South
American as Asiatic and African trade.
TREATIES ARE IN THE WAY.
The report quotes articles from our treat
ies % vlth the thirty-five principal nations
of the world , all of which. It Is contended ,
must be abref.-ated at the expense of a dis
turbance of our trade relations with the
world If the policy of discriminating duties
Is to be adopted by the United States. The
report alsi' favors the enactment of the
omnibus bills relating to navigation and
to American ocatccn in the form favorably
reported by the senate- committee on com
merce at the last session rather than In the
form In which these bills passed the house
of represent , lives. It renews the argument
for the repeal of compulsory pilotage on
coastwise sailing vessels , and poln'.a out
that cougresj has spent over $27.000.000 In
the Improvement of seventeen harbors , at
which compulsory pilotage Is still exacted
from domestic calling vessels. By the
abolition of useless registry bonds. Ameri
can ship owners have been saved $30.000
annually , and American lake ship owners
about $15.000 annually In Canadian charges.
Imposed for years In contravention of the
policy of reciprocity. The adoption of the
measurement law. the report elates , hre
effected a saving of thousands of dollaro
to American shipping In foreign ports and
In domestic lice-r.ses and charges based on
net tonnage , besides bringing our law on
this subject abreast of the laws of the
progressive maritime nations.

that tomorrow morning at that city the

asking for public subscriptions on a loan

loan was not to be made purposely for the

the bulk of the money would be used to
defray expenses of the conflict now going
on In Cuba. Minister dc Lome hao received
a ttlegram from an official source saying
that a private canvass has been made or

WASHINGTON , Nov. l& la the inaugu
ration of William McKtnlcy Washington
will witness the greatest military demon
stration since the grand review at the close
of the civil war. It' It sustomary at the
Inauguration of a prlfcldettt of the United
States for all of the states hailng organ
ized mllltla to be represented by troops
In the parade from the capllol to the white
house. With the exception of the states of
Pennsylvania. New York , Ohio nud Illinois ,
the contingents from the various states have
heretofore been small. This year , however.
the conditions arc different. The recent
campaign has stirred the people deeply.
and without any ouulde Incentive for pa
triotism the Inauguration would be attended
with an unusual display. The prospect of
trouble with a foreign power will but serve
to augment the national spirit. The desire
of patriotic Americans to make a display
which will convince European powers that
the nation which brooks wr with this coun
try will be undertaking a very large con
tract will not be discouraged by the of
ficers of the government should there be
any occasion for such a drcjonstratlon when
the day of the Inauguration rolls around.
That the disposition exists at present to
give a manifestation of the country's mili
tary strength on the occasion of the Inaugu
ration Is evident from the extensive prep
arations that the local committee on ar
rangements Is making for quartering troops
that are likely to come.
Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania , who
wcs In Washington several days ago , in
speaking of the Inauguration ceremonies ,
said that he would wait auu see what the
New Yorkers would decUTc about their mili
tary display. Pennsylvania , he said , would
not"be outdone. The pronabillty was that
her 8.000 soldiera would March down Penn
sylvania avenue. Should,1 New York order
out a similar number of 'troops these two
statc-s alone would furn'ih a respectable
army. * *
The total organized ctrccgth of the mlll
tla in the United State * Is 110.000. It Is
not likely that any of the regular troors
except these stationed- Immediately around
Washington , will participate. They , to
gether with the marines , number several
thousand. It will be rejadlly seer there
fore that If the preeea/ disposition to make
an unusual display should'taKe definite form
an crmy larger than .any single ermy en
gaged In the civil war would be mobilized
at the capital , and that , too , of splendidly
equipped Foldlers. ,
The war scare , which Is causing thin pa
triotic fervor , has not leal any of Its force.
While , as stated In the e dispatches last
night , there Is no prospct of a collision
between this country "and Spain , unlers
Spain should commit -some overt act , the
situation Is extremely'dellcate. There Is
a strong Imprcwloa here that If the hostili
ties between Spain cndj Cuba last much
lorgcr this country will feel compelled to
rcccgnlie the belllgcrenc/ the Insurgents.
Such action on the 'Jfert of the United
States would undoubtedly Incense the
Spaniards to such an extent that they woul.l
commit some act of riolence directed
acalnst this country. .That woull undoubt
edly precipitate war. All these changes of
collision between this , country and Spain
are belcg considered , by the administra
tion" . end this Is the ' expbinatlein ef the
work which Is now being aone to put the
country's cosst and harbor defenses In the
vcrv br.it possible condition.
During the past few- days the Oregon , a

NIAGARA FALLS SET TO WORK

BUFFALO , N. V. , Nov. 1C. At midnight
the turning of a switch In the blR power
house at Niagara Kails completed a circuit
which caused Niagara to flow uphill , so to
speak , by returning a fraction of Its rcstet-
ICM energy , which had already swept pant
the gates of Buffalo , back Into that city ,
twenty-seven miles distant. The harness
WM buckled that hitches the factory wheels
of Buffalo to the greatest cataract en earth.
Starting this morning the street cars of
this city will be moved by falls power.
Htrcafter the falls must worl ; enough to
earn their living. The buckling of the l.ar-
ne 6 could have- been done as well twelve
hours earlier , but owing to the fact that the
father of William B. nankin of New York ,
secretary of the Niagara Falls Power com
pany. Is a clergyman , and In deference lo his
wishes , the Niagara Falls power wcs not
turned Into the transmitting system at noon
Sunday , as had be > en expected. The con
nections \verv mhde at midnight.
The experts having the work In charge
were busy all of Saturday night and until
late las ! evening testing th ? various con
nections and going over the machinery to
make tsure everything wis In proper order.
When everything wta In readiness for the
switch to be thrown over , the electricians
were confident that there need be no cessa
tion of the current set flowing over the wires
of the Buffalo street railway system.
The distance covered by the line between
Buffalo and the falls is twenty-seven miles
ol the expert e-le > ctrlclsns who have the
wotk In charce estimate that the loss of en
ergy will be lew than in per cent , and may
not much ) exceed B per cent. Careful tesio
arc to be made In this connection , the tcsto
covering both night and day. and clear , as
well as rainy weather. The electricians
are paying particular attention to this test ,
as on the perfect Insulation of the carrying
line depends much of the future KUCCCSS of
the undertaking. The line that has been
built to carry the current-bearing wires Is
of a most FuhsUntlal nature. Unlike the
ordinary telegraph line , the poles are placed
* ery close together , and are braced In such
a manner as to be pronf against heavy
storms. At curves the poles are set double
ind nre guyed to numerous smaller poles to
prevent sagging. The overhead line extends
rrom the power house nt the- falls to the
: Ky limits of Buffalo , where the wires enter
cement conduits. On the overhead -line ,
slrss Insulators are found unequal to the
strain and porcelain Insulators were made
specially to hold the wires. The In ulatorn
were subjerte-d to a current of 30.COO volts
before being put In use. There are at
present on the poles elcht cables , each with
t carrying capacity of fT.OOJ-horse power , or
lo.OOO-horse power In all. The poles arw of
such a substantial character , however , that
; h. ' number of cables Is considered safe.
The only contract lafide so far for the
delivery of power In Buffalo by thepower
company Is that with the- Buffalo Street
Hallway company , for 1.000-horse power.
Under the'coatractwith the city , the com
pletion of the undertaking of delivering
powe > r In Buffalo was not obllcatorv before
next June. It was in order to secure the
contract with the etreet railway company
that the work was hurried through so far
ahead of time. Contracts with others de
siring to use the electrical power will now
be made and It Is thought that by the open
ing of spring the power will be well dis
tributed throughout the city.
Since the Inception of the undertaking , and
during Its carrying out. the company has
frequently called upon Messrs. Edison and
Tesla for advice , and these famous masters
of electricity have been frequent visitors to
the Niagara Falls power house to solve
technical problems. The power will sell In
Buffalo for J3C a horse power per annum ,
and under Ito contract with the city the
company must Increase Its capacity 10,000-
horee power per year , until the maximum of
50,000-horee power has been reached.
The switches were turned on exactly at
midnight by W. L. Bennett , chief en
gineer of the General Electric company.
Mayor Jewett was present and held the
watch. Everything worked smoothly.
NIAGARA FALLS , N. Y. , Nov. 1C. The
fact that at midnight was to begin the trans
mission of electrical power from the falls
to Buffalo for the first time drew a very
large crowd of people to the power house
of the Niagara Falls Power company. So
many were trying to gain admission to the
place that at ' . < o'clock last evening the
doors were closed. Those present In the
power house proper were : Messrs. W. B.
Hankln , secretary of the company ; W. A.
Brecklnrldge. resident engineer ; Paul M.
Lincoln , electrical expert ; I. H. Edmonds
of the General Electric company , and Hon.
H. W. Ely. Mr. Edmonds had charge of
the transformer house.
At 11:45 : Messrs. Hcnkln. Brecklnrldge and
Lincoln took posttlonc on the raised plat
form In front of the switchboard on the
main floor of the power bouse and arranged
the switches. Shortly before 12 o'clock Mr.
Brecklnridge noticed Mr. Edmonds In the
transformer house that the electricity was
ready for the transformers , ai.d a moment
later the swite-h was thrown and the power
was rushing out on the line and away to
Buffalo. Mr. Edwards pronounced the ma
chinery all right , and formally delivered It
to Mr. Brecklnrldge for the power com
pany. It wss accepted , and then the cur
rent was shut off for a brief space. Com
munication was had with the street rail
way company In Buffalo , and word received
from them that everything was In reajl-
ness at that end of the line. Mr. Rankln
then stepped to the platform , threw the
switch over , and Niagara's power was In
Buffalo. A salute of twenty-one guns was
fired by a battery stationed near the power

Governor Oatee voted for Mr. Bryan as the
nominee of his party , but has been and now
Is avowedly a gold standard democrat. The
election e > f Clements as speaker of the

silver people , but It revealed the strength
of Governor Dates and the gold standard
advocates. The caucus of the democrats
will decide the matter next Tuesday.

The next session of the Nebraska legisia-
turo will begin In a little less than two
months anil speculation Is already active m
regard to the nature of the legislation that
will be attempted during the winter. This
Is particularly the cake In Douglas county.
which Is most directly Interested In a Rood
deal of the law-making that la In prospect.
The policy that will be pursued by the Doug
las county delegation Is not as easily fore
casted as It might be If the delegation waa
less variegated In Its j > olltlcnl complexion.
It Is generally believed that the different
elements will assimilate , however , and work
together for the good of the people. This Is
asserted by those who are entitled to bo
considered the leading spirits In the dele
gation , and they declare that private inter
ests will bo laid asldo for the general wel
fare.
Naturally the first question in importance
Is the legislation necessary for the Tram-
mlssisslppl Exposition. The newly elected
members are confident that In spite of the
economical Ideas of many of the members
of the huuto and senate a liberal appro
priation can bo secured for that enterprise
They admit that It
will require careful man-
asemcnt and the
relinquishing of many per
sonal Interests. The exposition will have
to bo made the one great nlm of the dele
gation and bo given the right of way over
all other local legislation.
With regard to such legislation as affects
the eity of Omaha , the delegation Is eon-
fronted with any number of schemes. Sorao
or them have some elements of strength
while others are wholly visionary or parti
san. So far there Is no definite undemand
ing among the Douglas county members as
to the course to be pursued on specific mat
ters. Some of the members have been to
gether informally on several occasions and
discussed R general plan of action but with
out going Into details. There Is only ono
thing that teems to be conceded. That la
that the delegation will endeavor to secure
the passage of a law which will give the
voters tf Omaha the power to amend their
own charter , the amendments suggested to
be submitted to the voters at a special or
Kenen : ] election.
FIRE AND POLICE COMMISSION" .
It Is nlso a pretty general Impression
that ( some action will be taken relative to
the prevent Board of Fire and 1'ollce com
missioners. In this
cose the members are
eaibarrastcd by the desire of some of their
more radical supporters to reorganize both
the fire and police departments on a very
different basis fiom that on which they
now rest. A dozen plans have been sug
gested by way of changes in the present
law , but so far none of thejn have been en
dorsed by the delegation. Several of the
most Influential members-elect declare that.
they are opposed to any radical action In
this or any other matter. They IHicvo
that some features of the prcrent law
should be changed. The governor should
be vested with the authority to appoint the
commissioners and the mayor should bo
a member of the board. Others dcrlaro
that the members of the commission should
be elected by the people of this city , but
they were not favorably Inclined toward
any law that would legislate incumbent of-
flclcls out of olllcc. It was suggested
that If an amendment was parsed giving :
the people of this city the power to amend
their own charter It was not unlikely that
the fire and police matter would be pasted
over and left to bo adjusted by the people
themselve-s.
It goes without saying that this plan IB
not agreeable to many of the supporters
of the fusionticket. . There la n disposition
on the part of this element to use tno
power recently acquired to ilic full extent.
It Is seriously recommended that the cntlro
present fabric of municipal government
should be abolished and built over again.
As one reason for such action it Is urged
that It Is becoming the custom of most of
the larger cities to hold their city elections
In the spring In order that the Interest of
the people in electing good municipal of
ficers may not be eclipsed In the excitement
of a general election. These people want
to begin all over again by passing a law
that will authorize a city election next
spring to elect an entirely new eel of of
ficers and repeal such prvtenl laws ua
might conflict with such an arrangement.
COSTS TOO MUCH.
The Hoard of' Public Worl.n Is another
fruitful subject of discussion. For a long
tlrno past there has l > een a very apparent
sentiment in favor of a reorganization of
this department. This hae not been con
fined to curbstone opinions , but has been
Indicated by some very emphatic expres
sions from official sources. A number of
city oiflclalR have contended that as present
organized the cost of the board was all out
of proportion to Its UEefufurns. It has
been freely asserted that to pay fO.SOO a ye-a *
to three members of the Hoard of Publio
Works was a useless extravagance and that
the worl : now done by tlic hoard could bo
easily attended to by a board composed ot
the city engineer and two other city officials
and without any expense for salaries. This
opinion is held by a number of the legisla
tors and it Is altogether probable that some
legislation In regard to this matter will be
attempted unless fiufllcle-nt Influence la
brought to bear by some of the local cor
porations to choke It off. In tliU conn < > c-
tlon there is a good deal or talk In favor
of putting the entire Hoard of Public Works
department In charge of the city engineer
and making this an elective oftlce. The
plan Is oppeised , however , by ono or two
members of the delegation , who astert that
to make the office of city engineer elective
would detract very materially from the
efficiency of that official , as It would lie very
possible to elect a man who was entirely
incompetent to hold the office.
