City Engineers Department.

1t appears that the total expense and
the salaries of this department in Min
neapolis are much larger than in either
Milwaukee or Detroit, and with the ex-
ception of Providence, are much larger
than any of the five cities next smaller
than Minneapolis. We do not, however,
consider that the amounts expended in
this department in this city are in any
way unreasonable or exorbitant. Min
neapolis has a system of specIBl taxa
ton, which adds great deal of work
and expense to the department of city
engineering, and, with the exception of
Omaha and st. Paul. the comparison in
the table is made with older cities.

information from Minister Young in
Guatemala concerning the arrest OF
Menage. the Minneapolis defaulter. 1t

served him well beyond the allotted
time of man, but disease, which
lays hold upon the seemingly strong
IS we'll as the certainly weak. has
borne him away.
In spite of the fullness of Il life
covering II generation of remarka-
bic activity IN the public service, it

twenty years the junior of Glad

A giant has fallen. The world
has lost one of its great minds; his
country Il kpatriot whose genius,
learning, energy ond courage shed
lustre on her history and COM
manded for her new place among
the nations of the earth.
The boyhood of James G. Blaine
gave no promise of the career which
the man was to achieve. The col.
lege lad was studious, serious; that
was all. He did not come out
near enough to the head of his
class to attract attention. After
few years spent in strength
ening his foundation, he entered
journalism. From now on his
rise was rapid. He had matured
quickly, and each new opportunity
found him ready to embrace it to
the full. This is the real sign of a
great mind and strong character.
At twenty-three he was already
man of note in Main, though a new
conner in that steady-going COM
monwealth. At twenty-five he was
leader and a power. At twenty
nine he was a member of the legis-
lature and soon the speaker Of its
house. AT thlrty-two he was elected
to Congress, and at thirty-nine,
younger than any of his predeces-
sors, was chosen to preside over a
body containing some of the most
brilliant men of the time who had
been prominent before he was
heard of. At fortysix he was SEN
ator. at tifty-one secretary of state.
He never held an office that he
did not fill to the full, in which he
did not win new laurels. And so

Important Test Case.

WASHINGTON May IAN interesting test
case has been in argument before the court
of claims for the past three days involv-
Ing the decision of large number of cases
how pending before that tribunal This is
suit brought against the Creek tribe of
Indians and the United States, under the
Indian depreciation act of March 8, 1891,
claiming indemnity for property alleged to
have been destroyed by the Creeks in Geor-
gia and Alabama in 1895 during the Creek
war incident upon the forcible removal of
those Indians from their home Several
points of interest to the legal fraternity
have been argued at length. Two of these
questions are: Whether or not there was
an actual Indian war in Georgia and Ala
bama in the year named, and, whether, if
the Creek Indians were ever liable for the
depredations committed, such liability was
not RENTED by the treaties of 1856 and

amnesty lis granted them for all past

of the mississippi.
BELLEFoNTAINE, o., May 4.-The Lewis
ton reservoir broke and section of the
lam about 100 feet long swung back and q
body of water containing 1900 acres
started down the Miami valley with a
roar. The first thing it struck was COW
tired bridge 100 feet long. 1t carried the
stone supports from under it and it fell
with crash and was carried down with
the current. All bridges in the valley
within seven miles of the reservoir were
swept away and II large tract of land, in
GLIDING the towns of Lewiston and Lake
view, were entirely surrounded, their only
means of communication with the outer
world being by rowing across the reservoir
above the dam, and even that can only be
done with difficulty on account of the
swift current.
The breach III the dam is abont 10 feet
deep, and in 10 hours the reservoir has
fallen only 10 inches. This will give some
idea of the amount of water in it and the
time it will take to empty it. Men are
entirely powerless to do anything to check
the water until it has spent its force. The
inhabitants of the vicinity Of the threaten
Ing danger worked as only those who see
their homes in danger can work. Brush
wood and logs were carried and piled in
front of the dam in hopes that the water
might be held back and their homes saved,
but they were at last compelled to retreat
from the gap and watch the waters sweep
over their homes and farms. This is the
second time the dam has broken within
the last 10 years, and although their is no
blame attached to the officials who have
charge of it, since the recent heavy rains
were the cause Of it, yet there is general
feeling here that the reservoir should be
abolished

LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 4.-The river
mt this place still continues to rise. Much
driftwood is coming down the stream.
Several large barns and Outhouses went
down the stream. Very little apprehen-
sion for the safety of bridges is felt as they
are all substantial ones. Reports received
from Saline county say that all farms in
Perkins township are overfowed and crops
ruined. The water is within foot of the
top of the bank ut the Brisson place, and
is pouring into fields along the river as far
west as Conway, doing much damage to
cotton crops.

The entire fire department of the Worlds
fair was called to the Casino Mt the south
end of the Peristyle on the lake shore. 1t
was caused by electric wire men attempt
ing to enlarge an anger hole with n redhot
bar of iron. The workmen in the base
ment seeing the flame and smoke curling
through the hole turned in general
alarm at the nearest box. The blaze was
M insignificant one in point of damage
done, but it was sufficient to afford n few
thousand people the opportunity which
may never come again of witnessing the
eXpostion's fire eXtinguishing system in
operation. When the alarm of fire was
given the hose reels and engines dashed
out of the stations towards the Casino.
from which volumes of smoke were seen
to issue and roll towards the lake. The
fire tugs lying in the adjoining lagoons at
once steamed at full speed to the scene of
the smoke, and the crew got ready to
throw water from the lake and lagoon
into the place. All the available guards
were summoned to the Casino and acted in
the capacity of police rs we'll as firemen
for brief time The fire started in pile
of shavings, but was eXtinguished before
the firemen arrived. The damage was
trifiing, but the fire showed that the fire
fighting forces of the fair are we'll organ
lied and trained for their work.
Pennsylvania Building Opened.
The Pennsylvania state building, one of
the great attractions in the north end of
the exposition grounds, was thrown open
to the public. Since the liberty bell was
put in place in the rotunda only that large
room has been open to visitors. The Phil
adelphia policemen are OH duty day and
night guarding the Independence bell and
answering a thousand questions put by
hD nj MI Of .,,,l,t a..
consider their exposition excursion fail
ure if they had not looked upon the ma
tional relic.
That awful and much dreaded visitation
of the fates which have conspired against
the Worlds fair-a general strike of the
walters i'll the restaurants-is still one of
the fearful possibilities of the future At
the Casino, the largest restaurant, no
trouble was reported. At the lunch coun
tiers the force is composed of girls. Down
on the Midway plaisance the restaurants
are presided over by natives. The swarthy
Turk who dishes out turkey to valorous
guests knows naught of working cards or
walking delegates, and the dark skinned
Javanese are equally in the dark regarding
American customs of service. Accord
ingly, every one who visited the restau-
rants found the white aproned gentlemen
on hand rs usual.
The following order was issued by Di-
rector of Works Burnham and approved
by Director General Davis: ITO whom it
may concern: All work must he finished
by May IL, both installation of exhibits
and construction work. Work of absolute
necessity not completed at that date must
be continued after the hour of closing the
exposition and discontinued at the hour of
opening"
