the floating ice will not interfere with
the regular operation Of the plant.
The work has begun BY the conStruc-

miles from Montreal. The. main dam
Of the work, running out from the
shore, consists Of series Of isolated

horsepower each, making a total of
1900 horsepower all the year round.

looms.
Kite flying Is no longer merely a
sport in this country. A number Of sci
entifc men have turned to the kite as
an economical means of taking meteor
illogical observations, which may prove
to be Of great benefit to science by Sc
curing an accurate and constant record
of the conditions in the atmosphere at
attitudes where observations have al
ready been taken. For example, dur
ing recent kite ascension ut Blue
Hill, maximum height Of nearly 9,4OO
feet was attained, while q meteoro-
graph record was kept of the atmos-
pheric conditions for more than three
hours about mile from the earth. II
such records were constantly obtained
the -ience of forecasting the weather
might prove to be much benefited.
The work Of photographing from
kites has already been tried in this
vicinity with much success. This has
led to an interesting experiment by the
war department with an idea of util-
i1ing the modern kite for military pur-
poses. In an experiment at Governors
island in New York harbor last week
a large kite was sent up bearing a
dummy soldier. It is understood that
the test was SO successful that within
a few weeks real soldier will be sent
up in the air by means of one of these
kites to show the feasibility of substi-
tuting the modern kite for the war bal
loon.
The use Of war balloons in Europe
has now become general on the part
of the military departments of the con-
tinent. These balloons are sent up for
the purpose of keeping watch upon the
movements Of an opposing army. The
test made by the United States war de
partment, however, seems to show that
kites can be employed for the same
purpose with about the same success.
It is still possible that the modern kite
will supplant the balloon for the pul-
pose of taking observations from con.
siderable altitude, for both as regards
convenience, and MS regards economy,
the kite seems to be preferable to the
balloon for such purposes.-Boston Ad-
vertiser.

A reporter was strolling along a
prominent thoroughfare on Walnut
Ellis the other day when he came upon
business room that was being re-
modelled and improved preparatory to
occupancy. The carpenter who was do
ing the work was one-armed man,
and not only managed his Ratchet and
saw skilifully, but was quite intelligent
In conversation. He did not appear to
bemoan the fate that had deprived him
OF q good strong arm, but regarded it
with the air Of philosopher. He said
that he was not the only one-armed
carpenter In Cincinnati-that he knew
Of four orsflve others.
Another one armed man familiar to
residents Of the Hill whose misfortune
would seem to interfere with his voca-
ton, but does not, is the driver Of one
OF the big oil tank wagons. He does
everything required of man with two
arms in such position, from driving
the team to measuring out the oil and
delivering 1t to his customers.
Judging from the following instances
published in an English journal, it
would seem that the absence of one, or
even both arms, need not interfere
with one earning ones bread and but

WASHINGTON, d. C.. July 1s-The
price to be paid for armor plate for the
three new battfeships now in course of
construction was the theme of extended,
and at times, lively debate. in the
senate to-day. Late in the day an
amendment to the deficiency appropri-
alton bill was agreed to, restricting the
price OF armor plate 20 $500 per ton. or
sl25 less than the amendment reported
by the committee and recommended by
the navy department as the minimum
rate acceptable to the annor contrac-
tors. Another amendment inserted In
the bill directs the secretary OF the
navy to investigate as to the establish
ment OF government arrnor factory
and to report to the next session of con-
gress.
During the debate Mr.. Hale urged
that the failure to equip the battle
ships with armor would humillate the
United States In the eyes OF the world,
and would lessen our naval power at a
time OF possible foreign complication.
After inserting the armor amendments,
the deficiency appropriation bill. the
last of the great supply measures was
passed.

the National Flint Glassworkers' con-

workers committee. which was read the
day before. was the FIRST matter taken
up. The report recommended changes
and reductions IN certain lines, but the
only material reduction was on the
cheaper class OF goods. The report was
adopted after some discussion. In the
afternoon the report of the mold max
ers' committee was taken up and dis
cussed at length. II was finally adopt
ed with but little change. a little life Is
being injected into the coming election,
which will likely be held tomorrow af-
ternoon or Friday morning. The repfe-

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 1s.-The pro-
verbal calm before the storm is likely
TO be carried out in the miners strike
situation. Throughout the day every
thing in the district has a peaceful look.
all the mines but two or three were
closed down, and both operators and
miners appeared to be resting on their
oars as 1t were. Tonight, however. 1t
develops that u number of the operators
have been quietly planning a coup
which is expected to bring dlsmay to
the miners. 1t Is the intention Mt once
to equip the mines with machines and
do away with great many diggers.
When the mines are ready to start,
miners viii be imported and put to
work under heavy guard, and the prem
ises barTicaded after the manner pur-
sued by the Carnegies during the great
iron strike oft92. With the corporation
OF the other operators, ]. a. Beldler, OF
the Webster Gas Coal company, located
on the Monongahela river, will take the
initiative. The operators claim that this
plan becomes necessary. because the
West Virginia people are gobbllng all
OF their contracts. 1t goes without say
ing that the diggers will resort TO every
possible means to prevent the carrying
out OF the proposed scheme.
From present appearances the Sickle
Hollow tragedy Of '94, when seven strik-
ing miners were killed, Is likely to be
repeated soon. This mine is In the
Washington Run district, and was re-
ported yesterday as closed. The man
ayers deny that 1t has closed for an
hour They are determined TO continue
work, and have made preparations for
trouble. II was reported at the miners
headquarters here tonight that 2, ,000were
ready TO march on the mine and bring
out the 400 men working there. The at
tempt is to be made on Friday or Satur-
day. This mine is shipping daily 100
cars, and is a menace to the success Of
the strike. A movement Is also on foot
among the strikers along the Pan Han
die to march 10 the Boone and Allison
mines and compel the minors there TO
quit work. II these threats are carried
out there viii probably be repetition
OF the bloody scenes that characterized
the closing days Of the strike of 1894. 1t
is probable that Eugene v. Debs will
spend few days in this district The
local officials are making an effort 10
have him address several meetings here
before he goes to West Virginia.

WASHINGTON. d. O., July 1s.-The
tarIff conferees find themselves to-day,
apparently less certain than at any pre-
yious time as to the date when they will
reach final agreement. though pro-
Tossing 70 hope that the time will soon
come. They are gradually dIsposlng OF
one problem after another, but still
have several left upon which there are
such marked djsagreements as to justi-
fy no predictions as to the result. There
is even at this early date talk among
Republican senators OF the probable
necessity for another caucus to deter
mine the course to be pursued with re-
ference to the conference report. There
are several senators on that side OF the
chamber, who, 1t is feared. will vote
against sustaining report which in
creases the pine duty and who claim
that they cannot be bound by the action
of former caucuses which devoted their
attention simply to schedules.
With reference to articles placed on
the free list by the senate contrary to
recommendation of the finance COM
mittee, the understanding about the
senate to-day is that a compromise Is
likely to be reported placing u very
moderate duty on them. The Demo-
Gratis say. however, that no duty likely
to be agreed upon in Republican con-
ference will be small enough for them

Special Dispatch 70 the IntellIgenoer. -
sIsTERsYILLE, W. Va, July 49,
The worst oil fire ever known In the
sIstersville field is now raging out in
the Elk Fork district, and the indIca-
tIons are that before the aames have
been extinguished the loss will amount
70 great many thousands OF dollars.
and there may be some loss of life, as
there Is more than six hundred barrels
OF burning oil running down the little
creek on which the burning wells are
located.
Last evening Treat & Crawford drill
ed in their No. on the Farrel farm %
the northwest of developments in the
Elk Fork district, and when the top OF
the sand was reached the well COM
Inenced to flow at the rate OF twenty
barrels an hour. Before the fire In the
boiler could be extlngulshed and the
boiler moved back the oil and gas
caught hre and the tank was instantly
| burned.
and save the engine house and the rig
from burning. but It was not success
| full and the entire OUTFIT was burned. AT
the time the fire started the TOOLS were
hanging In the hole and they are now
at the bottom OF It, and they. too. will.
in all probability, be q total loss. All
OF last night there was large crowd
OF workmen busy trying to put the flre
out. but without success and this morn
ing the Henry oil Company's No. on
the Williams farm, which Is located but
! a short distance from the Farrell well,
also caught fire and the rig. tanks, en-
glne house, ETC., were burned.
The Williams well and the Farrell are
two OF the largest wells In that field and
at the present time they are producing
about seven hundred barrels OF OIL All
OF this fluid as fast as II comes out OF
the well, Is jgnJted and Is flowing down
the little run near by rolling, Kissing
mass OF the hottest fire one could i'm
agine. The burning oil makes very
pretty spectacle, and is very suggestive
OF the molten lava which an active era
ter OF a volcano emits.
Both the Henry OIL Company aud
Crawford & Treat are doing all In their
power TO extlngulsh the flames and shut
in their wells, but 50 far they have been
unsuccessful and there is great uanger
to a number OF other we1.s which have
been drilled in in close proximity TO
their wells. There are also a number
OF wells drilling close by and many of
these are In great danger. Should any
more wells catch fire the loss will
amount TO a great many thousands of
dollars.
None OF the wells In the section
where the burning wells are located are
very far apart and II one OF them should
catch the entire lot could not be saved.
The loss which will be sustained by the
FIRE so far is variously estimated. but II
Is believed that 1t will amount to more
than $4,000, with first class indications
for It becoming two or three times that
amount
