Expedition From Stanford University
Coming Here.
PALo ALTO, June 26.-An expedi'
tion under the United States fish COM
mission will start from Stanford
university July to explore the rivers
of Western Oregon. DR.. G. N. Gilbert,
professor of zoology, has entire charge

sistants J. O. Snyder, instructor in the
geological departments; w. F. Allen,
90: F. W. Anderson, '02 and E. G.
Robinson '02. The purpose of the
expedition is to examine the streams
in order to find out what fishes live
in them and under what conditions
they live and to determine the char
acter of the streams.
This work is part of a complete sur
yey which is TO be made of the rivers
of the western coast OF the United
States. For the last four years DR..
Gilbert has been working along this
line, and has explored the streams of
California to the southern boundary
of Oregon. The exploring party this
summer will be out two months.

TOO MUCH MONEY

New York Bankers Have Trouble In
Finding Use For 1t.
NEW YORK. June 23.--The savings
banks of New York will make no
change in their rates of interest on
July 1st, according to the stateme nts
of number of bank officials. The
banks that have been paying 4 per
cent will continue to do SO, and those
that have been paying 81 per cent will
continue to maintain that rate. Sew
eral of the Brooklyn banks that have
paid per cent to the present will in
all probability reduce their rate.
The general opinion among banking
men is that those banks which have
been paying per cent will eventually
have to come down to the lower rate.
This belief is expressed even in those
banks where the 4 per cent rate is
being maintained. The greatest diff
ficulty that confronts the latter, ac-
cording to the statement of the presi-
dent of downtown institution, is how
to keep out money.

WAR PLANS
ARE SECRET
England's Plans in South
Africa Not An
nOuneed.

LONDON, June 25.-The rattling OF
swords in their scabbards grows more
pronounced, though the war Office re-
fuses all information regarding the
to confirm or deny the repeated cir
cumstan tial assertions of the closeting
of British military leaders or the dis
patching OF this or that regiment to
Cape Town. The ministers, however.
have been unable to parry successfully
the multitude of questions raised in
the ho1se of commons with the inten-
tion of getting some inkling of the
governments intention. A reply of
the parliamentary secretary of the war
Office, George Wyndham, yesterday
evening, is considered significant. He
was questioned as to the truth of the
report that the British garrison in
South Africa is to be gradually in
creased 10 10000 men. Had the gov
ernment wished to give answers with
a view of allaying the anxiety here and
at the cape, the question offered an
ample opportunity, but Mr.. Wyndham
replied in two words: "No, SIR"
The truth is that whatever plans the
government has decided on, the min
listers regard it as impolitic to contra
dict reports, however extravagant, of
its warlike intentions because of the
revibrations. These reports cannot
fail to produce at Pretoria an effect
which it would be foolish to impair by
hasty denials or ratifications. At the
same time daily, almost hourly, tele-
grams are arriving, announcing ener-
getic preparations in South Africa for
all contingencies.

Alger's Candidacy.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Secretary
Alger's announced candidacy for the
senate, coupled with his close associa-
tion with Pingree, may furnish a
method by which his retirement from
the cabinet can be brought about.
The administration will be very much
embarrassed by Alger's candidacy, as
it is closely identified with Mcmillan,
and will support him with all the pat
ronage at its disposal. The republicans
of the senate are almost to a man for
Mcmillan as against Alger, and the
republican national organization, 80
far as Hanna can influence it, will be
against Alger and for Mcmillan.
Alger seems to be without friends in
administration circles, and in Wash
ington. If he makes his campaign
upon the platform that an Endorsement
of him means an Endorsement of Nc.
Kinley, the president will be very
much distressed, as this will be little

POWER FROM THE NILE. !
Vast Possibilities Of Suitable Use Of I

Professor George Forbes, says L
don Engineering, is reported to hi,
said to an interviewer, in reference1
his Nile power scheme, that pow
could very easily be generated at
First Cataract, where Assouan, one
the most important towns in Egyl
Is situated. to supply electricity +.
pumping purposes for the irrigatit
OF Egypt proper. This would certail
~ pc the most important applicable
of 1t at this juncture, but the pow,
could also be introduced into the sugi
factories and other works at Assoua
and elsewhere, and also utilized fo
electric light, railways and tramways
which could be worked from there
With the facility of large pumping op
erations by means of electric power
1t would be possible to reclaim vas,
areas of good soil which are at pres,
ent above the reach of the existing
Irrigation canals. AT the Second Cata-
ract. which is situated just above
Wady Halfa, power could be develop
ed to any extent that is likely to be re-
quired. Its chief value here would
be for working the two railways that
have been built by the Sirdar-one fol-
lowing the course of the Nile toward
Dongola, the other running across the
desert TO Anu Hamid, and thence.
when completed, to KartOum. But in
order to work this last railway with
the best economy, it would be neces-
sary to make use of the Fifth and
Sixth Cataracts in addition. These
Professor Forbes had not examined,
and consequently did not know what
their capabilities We're. Near the
Third Cataract is a place called Kai-
ber. There reef of granite runs
across the river. and is entirely COW
cred by the water when in flood.
while in summer all the water flows
through three channels in the reef.
At this point dam could easily be
built. not only for impounding the wa
ter in reservoir, but also for assist
ing the irrigation at low water in
Egypt proper, and to work machinery
for generating electric power. This
would be applied partly to the work
ing of the first railway referred to
above and partly to pumping opera
tions in the Dongola province. This
province appeared to Professor Forbes
to be capable of being made one of the
most fertile regions of the world. Pro-
fessOr Forbes has submitted this re-
port to the Egyptian government. and
1t remains TO be seen what will be the
outcome.

Henry Bosse. who at one time was the
proprietor of horse slaughter house
on Long Island. Mr.. Bosse informed
President Murphy that the new pro-
vision company intended to slaughter
horses in North Dakota and sell the
horse meat throughout the United
States. The horse meat would be
dressed for the table use and shipped
from the west in refrigerator cars. The
company asked for permission to build
an icehouse in New York somewhere
In the Italian quarter or In the center
OF the Bohemian district, in the neigh
borhood OF Avenue A. In connection
with the icehouse they propose to have
building for the sale Of the meat.
Mr.. Bosse said that the national dish
in Belgium is horse meat, and that
many foreigners living in New York
prefer horse meat to the best western
dressed beef. He said the company
proposed to do its slaughtering under
the inspection of representative Of
the Bureau OF Animal Industry. He
said that 34.326 horses had been used
for food in Paris in 1897. President
Murphy informed Mr.. Bosse that the
board would give him hearing at
some future day.

Above the Clouds.

Airships have not yet been invented,
yet 1t is possible to sail for a day and
night In fairly comfortable steam
boat at height of over two miles
above the sea. The water on which
you accomplish this remarkable feat
is Lake Titicaca, which lies between
Peru and Bolivia. 1t is a huge lake,
120 miles long and nearly sixty wide
and is over 1000 feet deep. 1t is away
up in the mountains. above the clouds.
Nine rivers flow into 1t. besides vast
amount Of snow water. yet 1t has no
visible outlet. The 600-ton steamers
which sail on Lake Titicaca were built
in Scotland, carried over the passes in
sections and put together on the spot.
The fuel Is Australian coal, brought
from 1000 miles away. In the lake
are many beautiful islands and the
cliffs which line the shore, are mag
nificently rugged. In no place can a
ship anchor. The water, even sixty
feet from shore. is hundreds of feet
deep. The native boats on Lake tt
ticaca have straw sails.-Philadelphi
