MAY WORK THE WHIRLPOOL

MAY WORK THE WHIRLPOOL.
What may result in the development
of another power project at Niagara
Falls is attracting the attention OF the
Aldermen of Niagara Falls, Ont,
through statements made by an en-
gineer named Nj chell. At the sugges-
ton of prominent citizens MIR. Mitchell
took levels of the lower Niagara river

the Cantilever bridge to the whirlpool

side, had their attention called TO the
power possibilities presented at the
point referred to, and have also taken
levels which go to show that the drop
is from As to so feet. These possibili
lies were presened to the board OF trade
o, Niagara Falls, Ont, who passed a
resolution pointing out the advisable
of the town council making some ar
rangement with the park commission
ers, the controlling body, whereby the
town might be given rights on the
property for the purpose of developing
the power. At its last session the Par
lament of the province OF Ontario con-
ferred on towns certain powers for the
development of power, and it is felt by
some that upder the rights so conferred
he town of Niagara Falls, Ont, may
obtain from the Park Commissioners
,ome heed to their desires.
Despite the fact of the fall in the
level OF the water of the river between
the two points referred to, the canti-
lever bridge and the great whirlpool,
it remains for further evidence, based
on more careful examination by en-
sineers, to prove whether or not the
development of power at the point
could be made profitable. The spot is
at the side of the whirlpool rapids,
and the current and the rapids are
very fierce for the whole distance be-
tween the points. 1t is probable that
any pan adop ed would mar the beauty
OF the Canadian river bank, but Ger

AMOUNTS TO A THREAT OF WAR

A London Interpretation of the Protest
of Japan.
LONDON, July 28.-The St. James
Gazette, commenting upon Japan's
protest in the Hawaiian matter, says:
According to European usage It
amounts to q threat to resist the trans.
fer of the archipelago by force, and is
equivalent to warning the United States
that they must give up their views as to
Hawaii or prepare for war. 1t does
mean just SO much in the mouth Of ia.
pan, though the Americans do not seem
to think so. But they have such odd
ideas Of diplomatic language that they
are no great authorities.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: We
have said for some time that it is nc
concern of Great Britain whether the
United States annexes Hawaii or not
but Japan's protest should give the
American jingoes something to think
about 1t remains to be seen whether
American opinion will ratify the annex.
alton policy. If i: does the matter will
become important, for Japan has a
powerful navy; and if it does not, Sec
retary Sherman, and at any rate Presi.
dent Mckinley, will think twice before
inviting the japanese navy to do the
mischief it undoubtedly could.
