The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1897-07-03
report Of Local Engineers on the New
Location OF Dam No. 10 Sent In.

The local engineers have been busy
for the last week on the surveys re-
Gently ordered by Major Powell. These
are TO furnish data to the Major need
ed in the preparation of a report to
the Secretary of War on the location
of dam No. TO- The survey is COM
plete and the report was forwarded
yesterday evening to Pittsburg. The
Major will at once examine it and If
he finds that conditions warrant it he
may recommend that the location be
made above town. The local engi-
neers of course do not know what he
will do in the premises but think that
it may be done according to the wish
es of the residents of the town. For
many reasons we want the dam to
go above town and sincerely hope that
it will be located there.
All reports that the location has
been changed are all bosh for the rea-
son that until Major Powell receives
and examines the report he will make
no recommendation Until the rec
ommendation has been received by
the Secretary of War and examined he
will not order the change. These facts
together with the fact that the report
of the local engineers the first link in
the chain has just been sent and has
not been examined in Pittsburg shows
how absurd is the idea that anything
definite has been done as yet. We
hope by the time of the next issue of
this paper to be able to tell all our
readers just what has been done.

BOSTON MAN WINS.

New York. March Ask thousand
people were packed in the Broadway
Athletic Club tonight TO witness the
25-round bout between George Dixon
the champion feather weight, and
Frank Erne. of Buffalo. These two
matched to meet at 122 pounds. but
though Dixon was at the weight, Erne
was easily 10 pounds heavier than his
adversary.
After the % rounds were completed
Dixon was declared the winner. He
received an ovation. Erne led seldom
and Dixon forced the lighting all
through. When some of the light
weight fighters offered to take Dixon's
place. on account of Erne being so
much over weight. the Boston boxer
said mo. no; not on your life. I don't
care IL he weighs a ton; 1 can lick
him" Tom O'Rourke, Dixon's man
ager. asserted before the gloves were
donned that there was evidently some
Job up and he declared all bets OFF.
Dixon never looked better in his life,
and his work in the ring was worthy
of his best days. Tonights contest
showed plainly that the decision rem
dered against him in favor of Erne
last year was not merited by Erne's
fistic prowess.

MORE CHEERFUL.
Is the News From the Big Flood.
Though the River Still Rises.

Memphis. March 24.--The river bulle-
tin issued by the weather bureau to-
night announces sllght fail OF the
river at Memphls-a tenth Of a foot.
This has been the record for the past
three days, including today. The
gauge therefore, registers 3s.s feet.
The bureau predicts that for the next
"a hours the river will remain about
stationay, The fact that the river con-
tinues 10 rise at Cairo Is sufficient evil
dence that no considerable fall may
be expected in the immediate future.
The situation is practically unchang-
ed since yesterday. The fact that
the levees below the city on the Mis-
slssippl side remain intact and the
good news that they will probably with
stand anw further rise Is calculated
to make the outlook more cheering.
The dispatches giving good news con-
cernlng the condition OF the leyees be-
low this city may be relied upon az
authentic. being received by railroad
officials from their agents at the vari-
Gus places. In addition TO those there
is a conhrmatory message from Ma
jor Debney, he himself having COM
pleted a personal inspection Of the sys-
TEN of levees below Memphis on the
Mississippi side.
The work Of the relief committee con-
tinues without abatement. The conf
mittee is kept busy providing for the
wants OF 5000 destitute people who are
here dependent upon charity, nor has
the stream Of newcomers ceased. While
the relief boats do not make as many
trips as they did during the first few
days following the overflow. nor do
they bring back as many refugees at
each trip, they always bring some
addition to swellthe crowd Of refugees.
The continued fair weather Is most IA
vorable, and each day Of sunshine is
welcomed as a harbinger OF good It'd
ings to the extent that with no un-
toward rainfalls occur TO swell the
mighty volume of water. the end may
be sooner than expected.
Notice has been received by Engineer
Fitch that the levee on the Arkansas
side has broken in two places below
Memphis. one at Dawson. which is
about 1SS miles below Memphis. and
one not far below Modoc. The report
concerning these breaks seems authen-
tic. Engineer Fitch has acted upon
them with promptness. He has sent
boat with barges and skiffs to the
assistance of the people in the country
affected by the breaks.
Details concerning the break at Daw-
son are meager, The break near Mudoc
was not unexpected. as the levee there
seemed to be weak. several braks hav-
inv occurred in spite of every effort
TO prevent It,

From the Daily Historian, Jan. 26, 1897.
Perhaps one of the best indica-
tions Of the power which Is behind
Mr.. Hammond. and the foundation
upon which the future Astoria is to
be builded is furnished in that portion
Of the ninety-nine year contract be-
tween the Astoria & Columbia River
Railroad and the Northern Pacific for
the use Of the latter's track between
Goble and Portland. 1t appears that
one OF the conditions is that the
Northern Pacific shall Immediately re-
lay that portion OF its system with
steel rails of the heaviest manufac-
ture. and It is further provided that
the Astoria road shall have and en-
10Y the same terminal facilities, union
depot and otherwise. now owned by
the Northern Pacific in Portland"

TARIFF DEBATE.

Washington, March 24.-The third
day OF the iarin debate in the house
was almost rs dull as the first two.
There were :yo notable speeches. one
by GrosvenOr and the other by Nc
MILAN. bur the rest Of the speeches
with the possible exception Of Walkers
hardly created a ripple in the monoto-
nous sea OF speech-making Grosve-
nor and Mcmillan were dlstlnctively
the orators Of the day. The other
speakers were Fox, Simms. Williams.
Terry. Sayers, johnson. Evans. Mad
dox and Adams.
The night session was devoted to set
speeches. There were only two fea,
lures Of the session that caused atten-
ton. Kerr severely criticised the recl-
procity features of the bill, which he
predicted would wholly fail to secure
valuable concessions for the surplus
products of agriculture. I'VE should
adopt the Mckinley plan of reclpro-
city, he said, the plan born in the
brain Of James G. Blaine" He char
acterized this as the fatal defect OF
the bill
The other feature was the statement
OF Castle that III Rome had her Cat
aline. America had her Hanna" The
speakers were Livingston, Bedford
Burndadge. Bromwell. Castle. Bedford
Kerr and Olmstead.

Washington. March 2a-The senate
comittee on privileges and elections
has received the brief In the claim
OF Henry W. corbett. Of Oregon. TO n
seat in the senate. II argues that
equality OF representation Of the sew
cral states In the federal senate was
an essential feature In the scheme OF
government provided BY the rranssrs
Of the constitution. and that this
equality Is destroyed when any state
has but one senator. The appointment
OF Corbett is held 20 be strictly within
the terms Of the constitution providing
for appointments by the governor II
vacancies occur By resignation or
otherwise. and many authorities and
precedents are cited TO sustain tS!s
view. As 10 the recent failure Of the
oregon Legislature TO organize and
elect a senator. the brief says: what
ever equity there may be In holding
the state responsible for the maifeas-
anoe or nonfeasance OF a regularly
organized branch OF the state govern
me1t. we earnestly contend that It
would be the srossest injustice to hold
the state responsible for the nonfess-
ance Of individuals who had been cho-
sen TO represent certain districts in
the legislature. but who did not quail
ify as legislators and were In the mi
nority OF those entitled 10 sit IN the
