PLANS COMPLETED.
The Electric Commission Asks for Bids for
the Power House.

The Electric Commission ASKS LOT Bios tor
the Power House.
The Executive Committee Of the Elec-
trio Light Commission met at the Office
of the Gas Board yesterday afternoon
and examined the amended plans OF the
power house, submitted by Architect
Franzheim. The plans were approved,
and the secretary was instructed to ask
for bids, proposals to be received
until o'clock p. m. on the 27th
inst. The advertisement appears in an
other column of this paper, and will
also be inserted in the Pittsburg Post
and Dispatch. The plans will not be
ready for examination until noon Fri
day, the draughtsman asking for time
to make a tracing and blue prints Of
the drawing. Aocopy will be mailed to
Engineer John A. Seeley as soon as
possible, he having telegraphed for the
plan. Bids will be received for the
building as a whole, and also for the
iron work as one part, and all the re-
mainder OF the structure as another.
As amended, The boiler house now ex-
tends S. feet inches from east TO west,
and is 80 feet inches wide. This gives
ample room for all the boilers contract
ed for, and will also give room for addi-
tiona boilers, should more be needed
in the future. There will be little work
on this building, as the only solid wall
in 1.-THE south wallis already up to
Il sufficient height. A part of the west
end wall, the supporting iron columns
for the roof, the sliding doors on the
north, and the roof itself are
about all that is needed. No
change worthy of mention were made
in the main building-for engines and
electrical machinery-it remaining sub
stantially as first shown. The ex-
east to west, Is Io1 Iccu- u rHv.~-J -
the width from north to south, is 103
feet s inches for the main building and
80 feet 6 inches for the boiler house. A
twelve foot driveway, under the roof,
will separate the boiler house from the
engine room.

WHILE the primary object OF the
tests OF the new Watervliet twelve-inch
gun the other day was to prove various
kinds OF powder, rather than to prove
the gun itself, incidentally the great
power of the gun was demonstrated.
The projectile was fired twelve miles
with accuracy, and the range OF the
gun is fifteen miles. This one type gun
illustrates the extent Of the job recent
ly perpetrated upon the Government oy
the award OF the contract to private
manufacturers. The Watervliet gun,
successfully tested, cost $4,000, and
the Government factory is prepared 10
turn out the twenty-five just ordered by
the Government at cost of about S4s,-
600 each, and probably less, within less
than three years. For type gun, like
the one just tested, the Bethlehem COM
pany, which has been awarded the Gov
eminent contract in the face of the law
and decency, is to receive S106, 900. and
il will not furnish 1t for trial until
April, 1894, and for the remaining
twenty-four guns it is to receive S54,5OO
each, and they are not all to be furn-
shed before 1892

NE NEEDS WATCHING.

On his way to Bennington, VT, Presi-
dent HARRISON yesterday made several
rear-platform speeches. The first
stop was at Newburg, \. Y, where
HARRISON delivered himself of brief
but neat and patriotic little speech, in
which occur these sentiments:
We have great common interest as
people. And while we divide in the
methods by which we form the national
Drosperity. I am sure we are all devoted in
heart 10 the country that has obtained so
much for us. The country for which brave
men have died and for which brave
men will vet die, II occasion
should call for their sacrifice. In
the interest Of government we are one, d.
1-ided sometimes in the method by which
II il obtained. we are consecrated in the
one purpose this shall Dc administered that
an IN, people shall share its BENEFITS and that
no f1rorcd class shall Wslrp nc bcneatS, be-
ing for everybody equally, spreading sun
shine in all homes and upon all law aold-
ing people
HARR1soN has given utterance TO sound
patriotic Democratic sentiments, The
first was at Omaha on his Western trip.
Roth times he was away from the lead
ing strings Of his political advisors in
Washington.
The Republican National Committee
should not let Mr.. HARRISON wander

DIR. Frank j. l.. Hupp's Case.

At the Presbyterian Hospital last
night DR.. Frank j. L. Hupp said that
Hugo Eitel, the hydrophobia patient,
had made "a good recovery" While
the case has been most perplexing
one, it is quite certain that it was not n
well-defined case OF rabies.
The history of the case, he added.
was a most interesting one. The lad
had been bitten by the dog, and while
the animal was unqueStionably not mad
at the time of inflicting the wound 1t
was certain that the virus commuDi-
Gated to the boy contained trace Of
hydrophobia sufficient to make itself
plainly manifest in a person so consti-
tuted as young Eitel, he being puerile
in mind and afflicted with heart
troubles of an organic nature.
Now that the patient had made a
good recovery. DR.. Hupp said the ques-
ton had been raised as to whether he
would be apt to suffer relapse In case
he were talked TO by his friends and
relatives in the same manner he had
been worked upon by them prior to
the attack which had occassioned his
being admitted as patient in the Pres
byterian Hospital.
That such would be the result was al
together probably, and it was not at all
unlikely that the second attack would
prove to be much more serious than the
original one.
| As in the first instance the trouble
had arisen very largely from the ex-
tremely sensitive condition of the pa
tient, so that condition was likely 70
prove a superinducing cause Of re.
newal of the attack from which he had
made so good recovery, in the event
of his being again subjected to the in.
| fuences referred to.

THE sugar production on which
bounty will be laid is now estimated
from the figures in the applications, at
eight million pounds of maple, twenty
nine millions Of beet, and over five hun
dred and sixty-six millions Of cane su-
gar. With due allowance for over esti-
mates by producers the bounty will
amount to eleven millions OF doll ars in
stead OF eight, as formerly estimated.
What do the farmers think of this plan
of taxing the man who grows potatoes
to pay a premium TO the man who has
a sugar plantation, and taxing the man
who grows cotton for the benefit Of his
neighbor who grows cane, and taxing
the man who grows corn for the benefit
Of his neighbor who grows beets?
What is the particular merit in maple
trees, cane and beets, over potatoes,
cotton and corn?

IT WAS physically within the power
Of the late JAMES Russell LOWELL to
have changed the political history of
the country in 1876. He had been
elected Presidential elector by the Re-
publicans of Massachusetts. The post
election proceedings convinced him that
SAMUEL J. TILDEN was lawfully enti
tied to the votes of majority Of the
members Of the electoral college, but
was to be defrauded of the election.
His vote would have stopped the fraud.
Mr.. LOWELL deliberated and decided
that he had been chosen an elector
merely as trustee to cast ballot for
the State OF Massachusetts,, and that
the original conception OF the electors
function had long been abandoned. His
views were communicated at his own
request to Mr.. TILDEN, who approved
of them, and the electoral count stood
lS4 TO 1S5.

Instead of boasting OF the increase OF
duties implicated by the MCKINLEY
law, the Republican newspapers con-
tinue to pipe the other lay, and to dis
claim about the abolition OF duties.
Reference has frequently been made in
these columns TO the course OF the es-
teemed but muddled Intelligencer in the
matter, but it is quite in line with other
journals of its party in the effort to
make out at this late day that the gen.
eral tendency of the MCKINLEY law
was to remove the restrictions upon
foreign trade rather than to make them
more burdensome, the latter having
been admitted freely enough before the
last election revealed the state of popu-
lar feeling on the increase Of duties.
Here is the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette saying:
$50 great has been the growth of our
manufacturing industries that the last
Congress, in the Mckinley bill, was able,
without inflicting any injury or any danger
upon our people, TO enlarge the free llst.
They might have made it still larger, as
we are growing towards that position
when we shall be successfully competing
with the manufactures of Europe, not
withstandlng the difference against US IN
the matter Of labor"
Now, what were the sort of articles
which the Mckinley lew added to the
free list that the Republicans should
point to them with counterfeit salts
faction? Acorns, Alizarine dyes, art
educational stops, beeswax, books in
other languages than English, braids
composed of straw, willow, ETC., suit
able for making hats, chlcory root, blue
clay for making crucibles, crude coal
tar, dandelion roots, floor mating made
of straw, currants, dates, glass disks for
SpectacleS, jute and other kinds OF
textile grasses in manufactured form,
grease for wire drawing or dressing
leather, human hair not drawn, refuse
India rubber, moss and sea weed, oil OF
nuts and olive oil unfit for eating, crude
opium, nickel ore and nickel matte,
shotgun barrels, sand, Surphur oil, sui
phur acid, tar and pitch Of wood
and pitch of coal tar, tinsel
wire, tobacco stems, and spirits of tur-
pentine. The list practically includes
everything placed on the free list by
the last Congress, except raw sugar,
and in some cases the limitations and
restrictions qualifying the concessions
rob them of much value. Upon run
ming his eye over the names Of these
articles anyone can judge for himself
how much benefit he is deriving from
the much boosted additions to the free
list. All the relief the public obtains
from the whole of them, raw sugar in
Guided, must be more than out-welghed
by the additional burdens which the
law places upon textile fab
RIGS alone.
Instead of pointing with pride to the
'act that the Mckinley law has abolish
ID the duties on dandelion roots and
hickory and crude opium and human
lair, the friends of the measure, If they
lave the courage of their convictions,
,bout everything we wear or use.

observations on the Use OF Koch's Tuberculn In
the Treatment of Pulmonary tuberculosis" was the
subject of the stated meeting Of the Academy Of Medi-
cine last night Dr. Francis p. Kinnicutt told about
the experiments at st. Luke's Hospital. The result
has led him decide that the benefits from the lymph
are limited the early stages Of pulmonary tubercu
lOsis. The Of the tuberculin he said, entailed
much anxiety the part Of the physician. He be-
neved that il capable of doing good In prl-
mary phthiss than anything that had yet been tried.
Dr. Alfred L. LoOmis after reading his observations Of
thirteen Of tuberculosis at Bellevue, said that he
thought longer and careful experience than they
had was required to the lymph TO advantage. lie
thought that after the profession understood 1t better
would prove a most valuable aid for the cure of pull
monary phthisis.
An account of the experiments in Mount Sinai Hos
ptal was given by Dr. II. n. Heineman. Some OF the
patients had been cured on some the lymph had had
no effect and in the case of others the treatment had
20 be abandoned. DR.. E. L. Trudeau's paper on the
experiments In the Adirondack Sanitarum was read by
Dr. G.. L. Quimby, as DR.. TTudeau wac unavoldably
absent. The paper showed that out OF eight patients
one was cured four were much improved, two were
not affected, and one injured DR.. Trudeau
thought the tubercun could not be used for all KINDS
Of phthisis. In certain forms the lymph had an In
jurious effect. DR.. Qumby gave his observations on
the of the tuberculin in connection with the pneu
matte cabinet The papers were thtn discussed by
Drs. Abram jacob, K. c. Wendt, S. Baruch and H. B.
