J. |. Pearce, Jr., Independent, 6S6.
+. Howard Collier, Independent, So.
Total, 2S7, 434.
HarrisOn's plurality is 1856, and his
majority over all others 2,222. The
complete returns from all wards show
the election of twenty-three Democrat
ic aldermen. six Republicans, and five
Independents. As a result the Dem
ocrats will have a majority of eight
over all in the next council, with a
Democratic presiding otficer-the ma
yOr.
The municipal vote of the league
formed two years ago for improving
the complexion of the city council
succeeded in electing only seven out
of the twenty-one of the endorsed can
didates. According to the record of
the vote the Democratic ticket was in
creased through the Republican
strength being thrown to them by the
machine Republicans such as Con-
gresham Mortimer, State Treasurer
Hertz and Sheriff Peace, who in the
final round up feared the election of
Harlan, the Independent candidate for
mayor. The Democrats were also
aided effectively by eX-machine poll
ticians who quietly separated from the
regular organization after the recent
bitter contest for the United States
senatorship. The strongholds of Mar
tin h. Madden. who was defeated in
the Republican caucus for senator
went for Harrison for mayor, although
heretofore heavily Republican. One
consequence of the overwhelming
Democratic victory viii probably be
the formation of a new civic party
along non partisan lines.

the waves shall work it up and down,
and the force of the stream of water
thus propelled may be used either di-
rectly for operating engines or be car
ried to reservoirs and used from these
for producing energy. Mr.. Fletcher's
machine consists, first, of a strong
metal rod, the lower end of which is
held stationary at a fixed distance from
the bottom of the sea by means of
chains and anchors. Near the upper
end, and built so that it can slide on the
rod, is big, round, hollow float, shaped
like q cheese box. Attached to the
lower side of this float, one on either
central rod, are the barrels of two long
pumps whose piston rods are made
fast to a cross-piece on the central rod
below. 1t is evident that if the central
rod is held firmly, the rise and fall of the
floating cylinder at the top will work
the pumps. The difficulty to be over
come lies in the fact that the central
rod would naturally rise and fall with
the float. To overcome this tendency
Mr.. Fletcher has carried the lower end
of the central rod down into the sea be-
low the zone of wave action, and there
fastened a fat disk to the rod. This
disk offers so much resistance to move
ment that it holds the central rod prac-
tically still while the float rises and
falls and does the pumping. A small
machine which was used at Dover had a
float about four feet in diameter and
stroke to the pump of four feet; and
this when in full action developed 81
horse power.
A plant is now being built which is
intended to develop 300 horse power
when it is fully opeI Ated by the waves.

USING WAVE POWER.
A Machine Built to Get Wovk Out of
the Seas Currents,

B. Morley Fletcher, an associate men,
Der of the British Institute OF Civil En-
gineers, has been engaged for some time
in carrying on experiments in England
looking to the utilization of the force
developed by the rise and fall of the
waves of the sea. Many attempts have
been made to use this enormous power
for mechanical purposes, and it has
been estimated that a very small frac-
ton of the energy developed in the sea
by the winds would suffice for all hui
man needs. Mr.. Fletcher has succeeded
in making an experimental machine
which promises to be of real utility for
many purposes.
The machine is simply pump ar
ranged in an ingenious manner, so that

A VICTORY FOR DIR. GRANT.

Applicant Endorsed by Him Appoint
ed to Office.
Eddie Green's organ doesn't get a
straight tip from Washington.
The following from the Houston
Post tells a different story from that
published in the Daily Express:
Washington, April 5.-Special.-If
the appointments made today are any
criterion, it can be set down that Dr.
Grant; the Republican National COM
mitteeman from Texas, will control
the patronage for the Lone Star state
DR.. Grant has been rather modest and
has refrained from Boosting of his
standing with the powers that be and
during the past few weeks he has been
saving wood and saying nothing, pre-
ferring to let the opposition do all the
talking. The nominations of John w.
Bell to be postmaster at Beeville,
and Patrick b. Gibbons, to be post
master ut Paris, which were sent to
the Senate today, show that the doc
tor is in on the ground floor. Repre-
sentative Hawley, the lone Republi-
Nll NDUSltSSdlllh llOlll
State chairman Green, backed by Sen
atOr Quay, made test case of the
Paris pOstoffice. They Endorsed, it
is said, man by the name of Rus
sell. and urgently pressed his appoint
ment. DR.. Grant, however, had in
his favor the moral support of Hanna,
and the result was that the doctors
applicant p. B. Gibbons, secured the
plum.
1t is said tonight in Texas circles
that appointments to Federal positions
in Texas. save of course the pOstotti-
ces in Congressman Hawley's district,
will not be made without DR.. Grants
Endorsement. In other words, Presi-
dent Mckinley and Mark Hanna will
keep faith with the men in the south
ern states who bore the brunt of bat
tie in securing Mckinley delegates to
the st. Louis convention.
1t is learned on good authority that
TO changes will be made in the FEEDER
al offices in Texas until the expiration

Dents.
