that country people in the parts he

CHICAGO'S BIG DRAIN.
WATER WILL BE TURNED ON AT
NOON TODAY.
The Amount Of Earth and Rock Removed
Would Load a Train of Cars That
Could Enoircle the Globe.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Residents along
the drainage canal below Lemont,
will be treated today to the sight of
a great volume of water rushing from
that portion of the big ditch which has
heretofore been dry. From the point
where the Santa Fe road crosses the
canal to Lemont, to a point 215 miles
east the canal has been completed for
several months and the ditch has been
filling with surface water. The water
is from 8 to 10 feet deep and at the
eastern end where the contractors are
still at work it is feared the flood will
overflow and interfere with the work
men. With the exception of the
space 100 yards wide at section 8,
at Lemont, under the Santa Fe right
Of-way, which has not been touched,
the work of excavation is practically
complete from section to section Is.
a distance of ten miles. On section
IA, near Lockport, pair of big pumps
have been placed with sufficient ca
pacity to keep the ditch free from sur
face water.
Chief Engineer Randolph decided
some time ago to tunnel under the
Santa Fe tracks in order to release
the body of tsagnant water collected
above. The tunnel work will be
completed this morning and about
noon the last charge of dynamite will
be fired to blow out the head of the
tunnel allowing lie water to rusl
through at the rate Of II 900 cubic fee
a minute.
A number If engineers ami othe
guests have been invited by the drain
age canal officials to witness the free
ing Of the food and it is expected tina
crowds of people will watch the seen
from the banks of the canal. TIL
great engineering feat fcreating tn
giant waterway is rapidly nearin
completion. Nearly 95 per cent O
the excavation is now finished. Nj
Randolph said yesterday that as tn
result Of the rough estimate he find
that the mass of earth and rock n
moved would form If loaded int
freight cars with 40 tons to the ca
and a locomotive for each forty car

to encirele the earth at the equatC

RESIGNATION ACCEPTED
Young Binns May Now Fight
With the People.

DUNG bluus Mdy NOW IlSuI
With the People.
Washington, Oct. 2S.-The
president today accepted the res
ignation of Second Lieutenant
Joseph r. Binns, of the First in
fantry. This is the young man
who, enlisting as private from
Minnesota in 1890, obtained a
commission as second lieutenant
by civil service examination in
1893 and recently sought noto-
riety, in violation of the articles
of war; by publishing a letter in
Chicago newspaper assailing the
president and the army; and pre-
dieting revolution, and saying
that as he was satisfied the army
was going to be used as a weap
on against the people, as repre-
sented by Bryan, and as he
did not wish to serve against the
people but with them; he resign
ed his commission. The war de
partment declines to take notice
of these utterances, and accepted
the young mans resignation in
stead of putting him on trial by
court martial.
