QUAY WILL RETIRE.
When the Pennsylvania Senator's Term Is
Up, He Will Take q Rest.

When the Pennsylvania Senator's Term Is
Up, He Will Take Rest.
Senator Quay intends to retire from
the senate at the expiration Of his pres
ent term, two years from next March.
He says he will not be a candidate for
reelection. He is tired Of public life
and wants q chance to rest and to build
up his private fortune a bit before old
age overtakes him. Mr.. Quay is, COM
paratively speaking, a poor man. Fifty
or seventy thousand dollars repre-
sents his accumulation. He has spent
several fortunes in politics.
OF course Mr.. Quay hopes to keep his
grip ON the Republican party Of Penn
sylvania even after he shall have left
public life. He means to name the sue
cessor to Mr.. Cameron and then name
his own successor two years hence. My
guess is that young Mr.. Penrose will be
the one and Governor Hastings the 9TH
or. Instead Of being a senator from
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Quay wants to be
both senator's. He will have his men
to represent him while he spends half
his time fishing. Mr.. Quay is great
man, but he is lazy. Walter Wellman

TO HARNESS A RIVER.


Immense Water Power Plant to Be Dc.
veIoped Near Massena, N. Y.
Word has just been received by Stewart
g. Co. of New York, that has been en-
gagged in financing scheme to develop
an immense water power plant OH the
st. Lawrence river near the little town
of Massena, N. Y, that bonds to the
value of $3, 900, 900 have been placed in
London, thus insuring all the capital
necessary.
The concession was obtained very
quietly from the Legislature last May
and shortly afterward passed into the
hands of Mr.. Stewart. The plan is to
build canal 500 feet wide and % feet
deep from the st. Lawrence river at a
point opposite Long Sault island TO the
Grass river at Massena, distance of
about four miles. For nearly all Of this
distance the country is q natural pla-
teau, but there is drop Of 30 feet just
at the Grass river, and electrical power
is to be developed here by means of tur-
bine wheels. The plan now is for the
development Of about 800, 600 horse
power.
The st. Lawrence Power company.
which ia yet to be formed to operate the
concession. owns 1900 acres Of land III
the neighbrohood, and 10 is intended
that factories shall be erected there and
q town built. Massena is on the line Of
the New York Central and Grand Trunk
railways. John Bogart. formerly state
engineer. is the consulting engineer for
this enterprise. He thinks the canal can
be finished within year. New York

III. Ossts says 1hsss ARs 0nly TAsss
Genuine Nll1ienAlres In the Senate.
There are not more than three genu-
inc millionaires in the senate. These are
Mr.. Cameron. Mr.. Mcmillan Of Michi.
gan and Mr.. Wetmore Of Rhode Island.
Mr.. Boyer. Mr.. Jones Of Nevada, Mr..
Stewart and Mr.. Elkins have deal of
speculative wealth. and IL they could
realize upon their expectations they
might be considered millionaires also,
but they are not rich men like Mr.. Nc
MILAN Of Michigan, who has his money
invested in what Mr.. Micawber called
portable property, and Mr.. Cameron,
who owns rolling mills, railroad stock.
coal mines and is interested in other big
profit paying enterprises.
Senator Sherman is wealthy man.
He is probably worth $3.50. 900, al
though he has the reputation of being q
millionaire. His money is largely in
vested In Washington real estate. He
bought great deal Of land in this city
in the early days of its improvement,
and still holds large part OF IL, which
has rapidly increased in value. But his
wealth has always been overestimated
by the newspapers.
The wife Of Senator Hale inherited
several millions from her father, the late
Senator Chandler Of Michigan, and he,
of course, enjoys the income with her,
but 1t is not his money. Senator Shoup
Of Idaho has large interests and was per-
haps worth more than 81, 900, 600 before
the depreciation Of silver mining pro-
party. Mr.. Lodge Of Massachusetts,, like
Mr.. Wetmore Of Rhode Island, inherited
fortune, and also married rich wife.
Perhaps they have s1, 900. 900 between
them, and it is invested in gilt edged
New England property. William E.

A MODEL FORTRESS.

Fortihcations Board Planning to Make
Fort Wadsworth Such . One.
There will soon be at least one thor
oughly modern and complete fortress in
this country. if the Notifications board
can secure the assent of congress to it's
plans.
At the monthly meeting at Washing

entrance Of New York harbor. on this
basis. The plan is to complete this for
tress Immediately by concentrating work
upon 1t, and to make It a model fortress
in every respect, where may be thor
oughly tested all Of the modern scientific
devices, such as range finders. converter
boards, underground ways, telephone
and telegraph systems and even theories
of defense.
All Of this, il is claimed, can be done
at an expense Of about $40, 600, in addi-
tion to the sum already allotted for the
reconstruction OF Fort Wadsworth.
Congress will be asked to make the ap-
psopriation.
