QUESTION DISCUSSED AT \ CON
FERENCE HELD At THE CHAM

HIGH DAM WAS IMPRAcTIcABLE.
Col. Abbott Explains to n Few Cen
tIenien the Two Systems Tn
der Consideration.

s.. Paul and Minneapolis have finally
Joined hands in the matter of con-
structing a dam on the Mississippi for
the purpose of supplying power to the
industries of the two cities. Yesterday
a meeting was held at the chamber
OF commerce in St Paul, at which
were present Senator Davis, Congress
men Fletcher and Stevens and Col
Abbot, chief of the engineer corps.
The much discussed question as to
whether the high dam is more desirable
than the two dam system, or vice
versa, was again discussed at length
and after listening to Col Abbot, the
gentlemen present cOnclued that the
high dam was impracticable and that
the two dam system was therefore the
most feasible and the most desirable
II was explained that here was a diff
ference of only four per cent in the
power between the high dam and the
two low dams.
1t was announced at the meeting that
st. Paul would now Join with Mime
apolis inhastening the completion of
the dams and it is likely therefore that
operations will begin in a short time

The New Bankruptcy Bill,

The senate has passed the Nelson
bankruptcy bill in substitution for the
Torrey bill; but it is unlikely that the
matter will be reached in the house I'M
til well along in the regular session
next winter, The Nelson bill is shorter
than the Torrey bill and was drawn
with a view to falling less heavily
on debtors. 1t makes provision for
both voluntary and involuntary bank
ences must be named at least four
months prior TO the filing of bank
ruptcy petitions, the sum of indebted
ness falling within the laws scope
being 5000 or more.
The provision governing involuntary
bankruptcy is as follows: IF any
debtor being a banker, broker, mer-
chant, trader or manufacturer who
owes $500 or over and who is unable to
pay his debts shall at any time within
four months of the time of filing of the
petition hereinafter mentioned, assign,
transfer, convey or in any manner
voluntarily incumber any of the prop
WY "llu llle ACTUAL intent ana Dur-
pose on his part to prefer or defraud
any Of his creditors, he shall be
deemed a bankrupt and may be pro-
ceeded against in a court of BANK
ruptcy, as hereinafter provided. A
creditor or creditors having debts
against such a bankrupt to the amount
OF $500 or more may, within four
months after the act of bankruptcy has
been committed, file in the court Of
bankruptcy in the district in which the
bankrupt resides, petition under oath,
setting forth among other things, the
acts Of bankruptcy aforesaid and pray
ing for an adjudication of banKruptcy
against the bankrupt and the distribu-
tion of his estate among his creditors. {"
Insolvents, however, have the right 10
a trial by jury whenever they so elect.
The hearing must be held within 30
days, the court or jury deciding wheth.
er the accused IL insolvent or not.

LIMIT OF HUMAN VISION.
rom the Chicago Record.

From the Chicago Record.
The longest distanse ever encompasced
by the human vision, so far as the records
go, is 1873 miles, between the Cncompaghra
peak, in Colorado, and Mount Ellen, In
Utah This feat was accomplished by the
surveyors of the United States coast and
geodetic survey, who are now engaged in
conjunction with representatives Of other
nations, in making a new measurement
of the earth, The observers on the Pa
cifc coast have been able to signal from
Mount Shasta to Mount Helena, a dis
tance of 1870 miles, but have never been
able to get response. Between the other
two peaks communication has been con-
tinuous for an hour or more on several oc-
casions. The Uncompaghra is 1890 feet
in height, while Mount Ellen is 3,400 feet
The longest distance that the human eye
ever reached until this record was made
was between Algiers and Spain, 16S miles.

Yesterday at Riverside Park.

When in a time of depression in busi-
ness and unrest in politics a people
with concerns so diversified as are
those of the American people can turn
from more Immediate interests and
with substantial unanimity, through
great demonstration and impressive
ceremonial, pay tribute to the memory
of one of the republics most illustri-
Gus defenders, it is convincing proof
that the fire Of genuine patriotism mas
not burned low. There arc those who
accuse us of being a .sordid and ma
terialistic PEOPLE; a nation of money
Eetters and money a pop
ulace largely bereft of the finer in
stincts which enter into the rounding
out of tie higher civilization.
Yet the nation thus accused, by spon-
taneous concert of its officials and its
common citizens. only a generation re-
moved from the bitter passions of a
fratricidal war, desists from its ordin-
airy vocations and enters with enthusi-
asm into the work of honoring a hero
sprung from among them; and he the
foremost captain in that civil strife.
The ceremonies at Riverside park yes
terday, at which were gathered the
flower of American citizenship and nu-
merous representatives of the friendly
powers, We're interesting and inspiring
in themselves: and constitute an occa-
sion which will live long in history
But more significant by far than the
occasion itself is the spirit which
prompted 1.-THE animus which eXem-
plifies anew the loyalty of the Ameri-
can masses to American Institutions
and traditions, and puts the stamp of
authoritative denial upon all impeach-
ments of American patriotism.
OF Grant the man we have already
given our estimate. or Grant the SYM
Dol, this majestic Commemoration elo-
quently testifies. Back Of all that he
personally was and did, and higher
far than any purely individual daserv-
ing, exalted as that was, this COM
memoration tells of a great peoples de-
votion to the principles Of liberty, and
evidences their cohesion in civic pro-
gress, 1t proves that the heart of the
nation still beats true, and that were
necessity to call for it there would
again be the incomparah popular re-
sponse which, under the guidance of
Almighty Providence, lifted UlN Sses S.
Grant from the ranks of the unknown
to the pinnacle of human responsible
tty and achievement.
