HEARD THE CITY.
Generally Believed. That the Big
Scheme Will Go Through,

Generally Believed: That the Big
Scheme Will Go Through.
The new water power scheme was
generally discussed in engineering and
other circles in the city yesterday. In
the former there was disposition to
accept the statements credited to Mr..
Willard in good faith. AMI though there
exists much difference of opinion as
to the utility Of a single
dam at Meeker's island, this is not re-
garded as an evidence that the scheme
is unfeasible. The opinion was ex-
pressed by several practical engineers
that it would be necessary to build
dam at or near Fort Smelling in
order to gain sufficient power to
operate such plant as that proposed in
the Willard Manifesto. There seems to
be general impression that the scheme
Is good one, and that it will 90
tnrough with the same certainty that
attends the contamination of any
scheme in which the big mogul Of the
Northern Pacific has hand.
1t was generally accepted throughout
the city that Mr.. Willard fully intended
to push his project to completion, and
that ne was man who would never
have shown his hand in the matter until
hts position was absolutely secure.
His control of the electric light
plant has already been given in
the GLOBE. and it is generally
believed he has gained control of the
gas light company. Crawford Livings-
ton is absent from the city, and it is
authorltatively stated he Is now con-
ferring with Mr.. Willard on this very
matter. 1t is also said on the best
authority that the syndicate Of which
Willard is the head is looking out for
valuable property in st. Paul, to be
utilized in connection with his scheme.

Future.
The Scheme Of Thirty Years
Ago Is Revived by the
Big Financier.
What Is Thought Of the Plan
and It's Connection With
Navigation.
Circumstances Corroborating
the First Outline of the
Project.

The realization of the scheme evoked
over thirty years ago for the utilization
OF the immense water power offered by
the Mississippi river, below St.Anthony
falls, for milling purposes and for the
production of cheap power generally, is
close at hand, and Henry Willard, of
New York, is the man who is to bring it
about. Mr.. Willard is stated to have Sc
cured an option on the property granted
by the government to the Mississippi
River Improvement and Manufacturing
company in 1857, granting that company
the privilege of damming the river at
the head of Meeker island, constructing
locks and other necessary works. The
stock of the company IS owned in the
Twin Cities. and Capt. Blakely. of st.
Paul, is president. Ezra Farusworth, of
Minneapolis, is also large stakeholder.
The charter was granted the company
ly a grant of 100000 acres
was made to the state of
public lands to be selected in alternate
odd numbered sections. with the pro-
vision that not more than one section ue
selected in any one township, and that
the lands should be at the disposal of
the state for the purposes mentioned.
A provision was also made that the
work should be done under the superin-
tendence of the engineering department
OF the United States, and that if the
locks and dams were not constructed
within two years from the acceptance
of the grant the lands should revert to
the government.

unnecessary for the transaction of their

esterday from the Northwestern gem
eral passenger agent, at Chicago,
stating that Mr.. Hazard, Chairman of
the transportation committee of the N.

Traffic association yesterday and pre-
| sented the matter of half rates to the
| convention next July. The passenger
| agents were all favorably disposed. but
| owing to the fact that the general man
| ayers meeting, then in session, necessi-
tated the adjournment of the passenger
agents before they could decide upon
the matter, 1t was deferred for an
| other meeting. The trunk lines in the
East have not as yet given half rate,
but they have meeting this week at
| which Mr.. Hazard will be present.
Among the letters received by Secre-
tary Sherin was one from DIR. Cutting,
president of the college department of

W
An amendment to the act granting the
land to the company was passed in 1865,
section of the amendment making
provision for the forfeiture of all grants
and privileges by the company to the
government in the event of the stinu-
lated improvements not having been
made within five years from the time of
the passage of the act. There having
been no declaration of forfeiture of any
kind, however, it is conjectured that
the charter is still in force. On March
8, 1873, congress appropriated the sum
OF S25, 900 to begin the proposed lock and
dam at Meeker's island. undertaking to
construct the same, provided that the
state rellnguish all the land granted by
the previous act, the provisO being that
this must be done before the govern
ment incurred any expense in the mat
ter. AS up to this time no rellnquish-
ment has been made by the state, the
money still remains uneXpended.
MEYER IS MUM.
Urias Meyer, of New York, well
known civil engineer of that city, who
has been at the Ryan for some DAYS
past, was visited by a GLOBE reporter
last evening, it having been stated with
much positiveness in certain circles
that he has been engaged on behalf of
MIR. Willard in making a survey
of the site of the proposed
dam. Mr.. Meyer was found
in his room, having retired for the
night. In reply to question as to bis
connection with the Willard scheme,
Mr.. Meyer stated that there was nothing
to be said. He should refuse to be in
terviewed on that subject, or any other
which he considered to be his private
business and not public matter.
''Do you deny that you are making a
survey of the river at this point on be-
half of Mr.. Villard?' was asked.
Il deny nothing"
''DO you admit that YOU are working
in connection with the scheme to dam
the river at Meeker's Island, and that
you are civil engineer from New
York. and that you are acquainted with
Mr.. Willard and"
II will admit nothing whatever. I
refuse to say word on the subject in
any way. l am here on matter which
concerns myself, and which l do not
feel called upon to make public.
THE TUNNEL SCHEME.
Maj. Jones, of the United States En-
cheering corps, was visited in regard to
the practicabiIity of the scheme. He
saw nothing to prevent the CARRYING
out of the idea, but stated that more
than one dam would be necessary.
The expense of constructing such
dams as those projected, and
upon which estimates have
been finished will not be less than ST.
100000 for each dam. Mai. Jones
thought the McAnulty idea of tunnel
a bright one, but questioned whether
the soft sandstone through which 1T is
projected to bore in the construction of
the tunnel, would prove sufficient re-
sistance to furnish permanent
channel for so rapid stream. Engineer
Mcnamara thought the tunnel idea not
feasible, for similar reasons. saving that
it would be necessary to line the tunnel
with brick, or some such material.
which would involve an enormous ex-
penSe,

NOT MUCH OF a CHRISTIAN.
DIR. Ball Savageiy Scored by an
Eloquent LAWYER.


BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. 6.-The argu-
ment in the libel suit of Rev. DIR. Ball
against the New York Evening Post
was begun to-day, the evidence having
closed yesterday. John G. Milburn first
summed up for the defense. He for one
regretted, and many good men would
regret, that this case had ever come to
trial. After Mr.. Cleveland had admin
istered the affairs of this country with
ability and manlineSS: had taken to
himself wife who had won not only
the admiration, but the affection of the
country for the dignity, courtesy and
simplicity with which she presided over
the White house. it was to be regretted
that the old feelings of 1884 were TO be
raked over by this minister in his greed
for money. 1t would be wrong to Mr..
gone by, but the veil has been lifted a
little. Now, this action was brought
for defamation Of character to get
money, when it appears that he has
not suffered at all, in either character or
purse. What an opportunity for miu-
lister to be gracious and say that, as the
campaign was past and the heat of it
over, he would let the matter drop.
But no, he must drag it into
court, and rake up things so pain
full to many. MIR. Milburn then called
attention to reference made by Mr..
Mott in his opening address to the effect
that Mr.. Parnell had received $4,000
damages from the London Times In
libel suit. But" argued Mr.. Milburn,
lin this case the Evening Post was not
the libeler; it was DR.. Ball who was
flooding this country with his letters,
and the Post was only trying to strike
down this libeIer, who was endeavoring
to destroy the character of the governor
of the state of New York. A minister
should not preach the gospel one day in
a week and play the part of detective
the other six" This afternoon Adelbert
Moot began his summing up for the
prosecution,
