NIAoARA's POWER SCHEME.
ia the Effort to Utilize It to Advantage
Failure?


The United States Investor gives cur
rency to a report that the Niagara
Falls Power Company has been misled
by their engineers in promising more
than can be fulfilled. This company, 1t
VIII be remembered was formed to
generate electrical power at Niagara
Fails, 1t being claimed that the power
could be carried at profit and sold at
much less cost than steam to Buffalo,
Rochester and other points, 1t is now
alleged that the tunnels are failure
and that the loss Of power in trans
mission would be so great as to make
the electricity cost more in Buffalo
than steam. The story is that the COM
pany must change their plans and en-
deavor to build up large manufactur-
Ing city at Niagara Falls and that in
this connection they have offered for
ty-five acres of land and all necessary
buildings to the General Electric Com
pany, to induce the latter to move its
entire plant to that point, and that
provision will be made through the
New York Central railroad to take the
General Electrics property at Schen-
ectady off its hands. There is UNI
doubtedly some truth in the report that
the General Electric wants to move its
plant from Schenectady and has Buff
falo in view But we very much doubt
the allegation that the Niagara Falls
Power Company cannot cheaply trans
nit their power to Buffalo, as such
improvements have been made within
the past few years that loss Of electrical
power in transmission has been re-
duced to a minimum. The probabili-
ties are that this story about building
up city at Niagara is bluff" in or
der to bring Buffalo to its senses, as
there has been decided inclination on
the part Of its city council to bleed the
Niagara Falls Power Company by
threats to unduly limit its scale Of
charges and length Of franchise. Were
there any foundation in fact for the
failure Of their ability to transmit
power to distance, the principle would
hold equally against the proposals Of
certain local parties to establish a
large water-power on the SusQuehanna
river, some forty miles from Baltimore,
for the purpose Of selling electrical
power to the lighting and traction bust
ness Of this city, But the genius of in
vention has given a new value to the
water-powers of the country. In Min
nesota capitalists are now engaged in
looking up long-neglected waterfalls or
rapids in streams where the power is
susceptible of utilization at a practic-
able cost, with a view to buying and
improving the same

Everybody has heard Of the great St.
Bernard dogs who in the Alps have
saved so many travellers who have fall
en- exhausted in the snow, and of the
great Newfoundland dogs who save
people from drowning; of dogs who
bark when they have discovered a fire
until they alarm the people in the
house. of dogs that have killed poison
GUS snakes to save some one they love;
of dogs who will carry baskets in their
mouths, and Of dogs who will go on err
rands. But l do not believe you have
ever heard of dog who would carry
his mistress dress in his mouth over
muddy places in the street. There is
such little dog in London. He goes
shopping and calling with his mistress,
and she pays no attention to her dress.
The little dog trots behind her with the
hem in his mouth. He never let's it

lives man who had well that needed
cleaning badly, but fearing the treach-
erous quicksand at the bottom he was
afraid to undertake it. He hung his
coat on post near the we'll and went
into hiding for few days. His neigh

near the well, surmised that he had
sunk beneath the quicksands, so they
worked with a will to find his dead
body. After the well had been thor
oughly cleaned out in their efforts to
find his b6EYt the wretch suddenly came

in these Christian modern times. A
commission of inquiry, formed of dele
gates of Great Britain, France and Rus
STA has been On the ground for some
weeks, and has actually visited the
scenes Of the deathdealing tortures.
All the other European powers are
ready to act with them.
There is little of previous history to
rehearse, little explanation to be made.
The story of the outrages stands out in
broad detail. The feeble defense has
been made by those close to the Sub
lime Porte that the savage and no.
madic Kurds themselves were alone re-
sponsible for these dreadful crimes.
That this is not so can be proved by
the fact that early in June, year ago,
the Turkish government commenced to
Nend brigades to Armenia and to rein
force them by attachments of savage
troops, men whom it was fondly eX-
pected would shoulder all the RESPONSE
bility for what was to be attempted.
In broad daylight the deeds were
done. At dawn the little villages of
Semal, Shenik and Avail we're attacked
by Kurds and by Turkish soldiers, dis
guised as mountaineers. There had
been no provocation, no excuse even
for retaliation. The day before few
Kurds had stolen some of the villagers
sheep, and the shepherds. naturally,
had engaged in a hand-to-hand con-
flict with them to recover their prop
erty. Four to one the Hamidiehs, the
Baxranlees, the Rishkotlees, the Xiii
anlees and ZiIanGes, together with the
disguised troops of the Sultan, outnum-
bered tho Armenians. In terror the
latter fed, leaving in their alarm the
old and wounded behind.
It was then the atrocities began. 1t

at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
and Third avenue, reappeared at One
Hundred and Twenty-third street, al
though when the organ-grinder had
moved away from One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street they had gone in
direction opposite to him. From One
Hundred and Twenty-third street the
musician and the woman went to One
Hundred and Twenty-flrst street, be-
tween First and Second avenues. There
the same two children turned up. They
always formed the nucleus for dane
ing party. The children were poorly
dressed and their toes peered through
the ends Of their worn shoes. Their
pale faces showed that they were very
tired.
"Are those your children?" asked the
reporter of the Italian.

girls of my friend"
When pressed with further questions
the Italian said that man whom he
knew in Spring street near Mulberry,
Ricardo by name, made practice of
hiring children out to organ grinders
whom he knew at 80 cents each for an
afternoon. The children liked the work,
he said, were we'll looked after, and
were always at home by 10 o'clock at
night. He believed the parents got
half of the money paid the agent by
the musicians. He did not think he
was doing anything in violation of the
law, for the children never complained.
The supply, the Italian said, was al
ways greater than the demand.
do you make money by this
scheme?"
For answer the Italian jingled lot
of coins in his coat pocket. This proved
that he was making money and that the
New York public loves children.

TRAFFIC IN CHILDREN.
Organ-GrInders Hire Them to Dance Ia

the Street.
The attention of the Society for tho
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children is
called to the singular traffic in children
which has been going on in this city
for some time, says the New York
World. It will not be difficult to gather
evidence ef 1t, as all that is needed iG

stow few nlckels on him judiciously.
On Friday afternoon reporters at

rounding an organ-grinder at One Hun

ington avenue. The man was accom-
panied by woman, who played tam
BORNE more or less in time with the
doleful walls Of the organ. In front
of them were several children dancing.
The crowd, out Of sympathy with the
little ones who we're apparently enjoy
ing the music so much, was not mig

five minutes the wandering minstrel

,cious Turkish soldiery. These atroci-
ties stand forth in the annals Of Chris
tendon as the very essence OF cruelty,
and as an instance of what the stu I'M
civilized Turk is capable of accom-
plishlng
The civilized world stood shocked and
appalled, and the great powers Of
Europe stepped in and began an inves-
tigation. Then followed a demand
upon the Sultan Of Turkey to put a
stop to these atrocities and to institute
such reforms in his brutal government
as would forever end another butchery
of his Armenian subjects. And now
the bloodthirsty Turkish despot defies
all civilized Europe and refuses to in
terfere to prevent repetition Of the
prosecutions and horrors Of Sassoun.
The story, brutal as it is, and eXhib-
iting in the minor telling Of 1t a lust,
.rapine and violence that could hardly
be imagined, is all the more remark
able because it is not war. Had the
Armenians been fighting His Majesty
the Sultan and resisting his fanatical
troops, some shadow of excuse might
there be. But, instead of this, when the
Turkish brigades appeared in the coun-
try the Armenian men and women ran
to them like little children and gath
cred under what they thought were
protecting wings against the ravages
Of the marauding, savage hill tribes,
the Kurds.
Without sign, without a signal,
while the peasants were yet hailing
them as the representatives Of govern
mental authority and as the military
delegates of their monarch, the Turks
cut and fired, cut and fired again. No
novelist's pen could depict a tale of tor
ture half SO graphically as comes down
in the simple ungarnished statements
of the few survivors that somehow
made their way beyond the reach of
bayonet, bullet and sword.
The blood that was shed has hardly
yet grown cold, but even now all Eu
rope is ablaze with shame and regret
that such cruelties could be perpetrated
