Ex-Governor Foraker fairly took New-York by
storm on Tuesday right. There have been good
many rousing meetings of Republicans in the
city in the course Of this campaign but none OF
them has surpassed in interest and enthusiasm
the one addressed by the brilliant Ohio orator.
The people who thronged Cooper Union could
not get enough Of Mr. Foraker After he had
spoken nearly two hours the audience still in
sisted on hearing mere, and they got It. II was
a remarkable and inspiring sight. Some of our
Democratic adversaries who fancy there is good
deal of apathy in this campaign should have
been in Cooper Union on Tuesday evening.

fairly started yesterday, and for the next two
days that city will be the scene and centre OF
unparalleled excitement. The number OF Wis

official capacity have been welcomed with true
Western hospitality. The feature of to-day's
exercises will be the great civic parade in which
it is said that 100, 900 persons will take part
Tomorrow the climax will be reached, when
the military parade and the dedication OF the
Worlds Fair buildings will occur Chicago has
made good beginning and has thus far been
fortunate in point of weather.

| the knife-edge cuts and tears up
! the mud or silt, which falls into the
hollow of the drum, whence it is
j caught up by the suction and
brought to the level of the scow,
which it traverses until it reaches
the pipes on the pontoons, into
which it passes through flexible
joints 1t is then passed across
The interval of water between the
scow and the dry reef a distance
of 500 to 1000 feet, where it con-
tinues its journey by pipes on

across the reef till it reaches
the dumping enclosure into
which it runs and it is left to set
tie the water, passing away by the
percolation and the solid matter
being deposited on the reef, within
a sea vail, where many acres of
valuable building ground are made
for the future necessities of Homo
lulu.
Of the engines it is only neces-
sary to say that they are condens-
ing engines of the best type, and
with every modern improvement.
The surface condensers supply the
boilers with hot fresh water and
ensure every economy Of labor
and fuel, with the fullest develop

AZ stated in our previous article,
the dredging work has been carried
on very rapidly and successfully,
without a mishap of any kind.
And it has demonstrated that the
bar may be dug out the entire
width of the channel, say six hun
dred feet, as well as its entire
length of 1900 feet, and that the
work may be done in six months
of favorable weather, at no very
great expense.
HONOR TO WHOM IT IS DUE
Great credit is due to the con-
tractors in undertaking the job on
the conditions imposed by the
Government, which were to exea-
vate the channel in six months,
and to return the dredger in good
condition, for which they were I'M
der bonds to the Government in
the sum of $4,000. In addition
to which they were under bonds to
the Government in. the sum of
s31 900, that the plant would con-
form to the requirements Of the
contract.
To Mr.. John Dyer, agent Of the
Risdon Iron Works, and to Mr.. L.
G. Young, the engineer, every
praise is due for the manner in
which the work has been carried
out, and who have had to shoulder
the responsibility of the under
taking which is no doubt appre-
ciated by the respective concerns
which they represent, and they
most certainly deserve the thanks
of the Government and the public
of this city.
The sketch at the head Of this
article gives a fair representation
Of the excellent machine which has
so admirably done its work here,
and which is probably capable Of
doing as good service in deepening
any bar or harbor, wherever it may
be tested. We are indebted to our
artist, Mr.. J. T. Stacker, for the
illustration accompanying this.

THE HYDRAULIC DREDGER.
Buiit BY the Risdou Iron Works
of San Francisco, For Deep
enins the Honolulu Ba<.

As the dredger used in excava,
ting the Honolulu bar was con.
structed on new principle, known
as ''the hydraulic method, " that is,
for pumping up the material and
transporting it through pipes, an
account of it's working will prove
interesting to those who are not
acquainted with it. We condense
tka following from an article which
appeared in this paper year ago,
from data furnished by Mr.. Dyer.
All the machinery from which the
dredge was built was supplied by
the Risdon Iron Works, and the
work of constructing the hull and
Of putting in and erecting the ma
ehinery was done here, the con-
tract price being $4,000.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEEDGER.
The principal feature Of what we
may call the stern OF the scow are
the huge spuds which hold her in
place while at work. There are
two of these, but only one being in
use at time, it serves for a pivot
for the whole machine to swing on,
the cutter at the opposite end of
the scow having to be shifted from
time to time as it cuts it's trench
along the bottom. Each "spud" is
q huge vertical pile of timber,
sheathed and pointed with steel,
and derrick is provided which
viii lift the spud out of the bottom
and drop it again where it may be
necessary Next come the two
boilers, abreast of each other,
which are of the locomotive type.
We need not partieularize all the
engines, merely renarking that
while at work, the cutter, the sue
ton pumps, and the chains for al
tering the direction of the cutter
are all under the control of the one
engineer, who from his pilot house
overlooks the whole, and with his
throttle valve and levers within
reach works the whole machine.
The main engine once in motion,
the various separate engines can be
started or stopped just by the lever
commanding a friction, just as
in a factory each individual ma
chine can be set in motion or at
rest, while the engine itself keeps
steadily on.
HOW THE MACHINE WORKS.
The outward or bow end of the
scow is secured by two lines lead
ing to anchors or other fastenings,
one on either bow, and thus it is
obvious that veeFing on one line
and shortening in on the other will
point the cutter, which is in line
with the keel Of the scow, in the
direction desired by the operator.
Now we come to the cutter, to
the action of which everything else
is auxiliary. Projecting from the
''bow" or seward end of the scow
is huge fabric which looks, but
that it is so much heavier and
substantial, so powerfully braced
and cross braeed, like a big pile
driver slung horizontally. Through
the length Of the construction, in
the center, lies the cutter shaft and
underneath and little below the
shah IS the suction pipe. at the
extremity is the cutter itself, a huge
drum with cast steel blades ar
ranged spirally on the outside.
To set the whole dredger in &C
ton, the seow being secure in the
chosen spot, the engineer lowers
the cutter down till, by its own
weight, it lies on the ground to be
removed. It is now set revolving,

THEY WILL GET THEIR DESERTS.

Two Swindlers Who Worked the Cen
trail Railroad For Small Amount.
Friday afternoon q negro man calling
himself Lucen Davis, called on Paymaster
Robertson OF the Central railroad, and
asked for his money due him. Mr.. Robert
son knew the mans face. but could not re-
call the name. He paid the money due
Lucien Davis to him, and In short while
another negro called and asked for
the money, claiming that his
name was Lucien Davis. Mr.. Robertson
refused TO pay him the money and detained
him while he went in search of the first
Davis. He soon found him and discovered
that his name was William Simmons, and
that upon the instigation of w. II. Hen
oerson, another negro, he had forged
Davis name.
Mr.. Robertson had both Simmons and
Henderson arrested. the former for forgery
and the latter as an accessory before the
fact, 1t was very bold game, but it didn't
work worth a cent.

The mayor refused 70 give the permission,
and the fight will have to be held else where
than In Savannah. The mayor takes
the position that such exhibitions are
both brutal and cruel, and that as mayor
he should prevent all such entertain

hibltions are prohibited In most cities and
the mayor is carrying out welLexpressed
sentiment on the subject when be refuses
permission for the contest
The fight, as announced, was proposed to
be only "Rlove contest" or q scientific ex-
hibition OF the art OF manly defense. IL was
not to be fight TO tie flush, but there was
intended to be purse OF $500 for the sue
cessful man. This fact, among Others was a
pretty clear indication that there would be a
regular old-time fight, and sports have
been In high anticipation Of the approach
ing event until the mayor sat down on it
50 heavily.
The contest will be held, however, at
Thunderbolt, or some other place near the
city, the time and the place being yet to
be decided upon. owing TO the mayors de-
ciston. Another application was made by
McRae some days ago for permission to
have a contest with Luby, well-known
Charleston pugillst, but the mayor with
held his assent In this case also.

In the meantime, the land Just south OF
