HARVESTING THE NILE

Engineering skill is to rearrange ma
lures surface on the Egyptian from
tier, and pond back into Nubia BODY
of water hundred and forty miles
long, crossing the tropic of Cancer and
extending southwark nearly to Koro-
sko-a goodly step on the journey to
Abu-Simbel and ,Wady-Halfa-by
means of a great dam across the Nile
at Assuan The Pyramids and the
Sphinx have borne testimony through
the centuries to the grandeur and pow
er of execution which dwelt within the
Nile valley and what more fitting now
than that the same valley be the thea
tire of gigantic engineering exploit
audacious perhaps, but certain of sue
cess, and ministering to mans neces-
stiles, rather than to his vanity.
AS building achievement the
scheme is on scale worthy of
Rameses or a Pharaoh. To create in the
heart Of the African desert lake hav-
ing from two to three times the super
fetal area of Lake Geneva, in SWitzer-
land, and control it with scientific
precision, so that the impounded flood
may be turned into distant channels at
will, is stupendous undertaking.
But the engineers claim that their
plans can be carried out to the letter.
they have estimated the exact cost of
the dam, computed almost to the gall
Ion the volume of water that will be
and figured the necessary
resistance to be provided at every point
of the masonry. In Cairo, the experts of
the ministries of public works and
finance, likewise, have calculated to a
nicely the sum from taxation that will
come into the public treasury through
the country's augmented productive
ness.

Is no especial news to be given out
about the stock, but it has been carried
up with the general speculative move
ment, which advanced the price of other
leading stocks during the past two
months. The feature of this week was
the advance in the bonds of the Interna-
tional Silver company. The promoters
of these securities in December were
rather anxious to press sales on the
market, starting at about 1902 IL and in
terest, the price was dropped to par and
interest The last week in January the
market was absorbing them quite rap
idly. All at once the Connecticut deal
erS' orders more than absorbed the
amount on hand and on going to the
New York and other markets it was
found that very small amounts were for
sale. Prices Immediately advanced from
101 to LOG and 107. The common stock,
which originally had a nominal quota
ton of 33, but dropped to IS, has now
advanced to "a and 35. AS an establish
ed business, the stock will undoubtedly
earn considerable over 6 per cent. and
not pay less than this figure and the
price would seem cheap. Diamond
Match company holds steady at 149,
Boston Electric Light company re-
mains unchanged at ITO asked with no
bids or sales during the week.
This is the last day to subscribe and

ROW IN A SALOON.
James Burman Badly Cut
By a Beer Mug Thrown
by Thomas Hanlon.

Thomas Hanlon, wire drawer, was
locked UP at Station l yesterday after
noon for assault with a dangerous weapon
on James Burman, a barber living on
Southbridge street Burman was taken
to the City Hospital in the police ambu-
lance, which was summoned by DR..
Trip, a South Worcester physician, who
became frightened at Burmans condition
and ordered the ambulance summoned.
The doctors at the City Hospital, after
examining Burman's cut, decided that it
was slight injury and would not result
seriously.
They laughed at Dr.. Trips precaution,
and DR.. Francis Shaw, the ambulance
surgeon, was surprised that a physician
should summon the ambulance for so
slight an injury.
Burman, after being taken to the City
Hospital and treated, was discharged. his
cut being sewed up. The accident hap
the corner of Southbridge and Southgate
streets. Both men were drinking freely,
and a quiet discussion as to the qualifica-
lions of barber arose.
Without the slightest provecation,
Hanlon, who was Slightly intoxicated,
struck Burman on the left cheek with a
beer mug and cut a cash about an inch
long; A blood vessel was severed, and
Dr. Trip stopped the hemorrhage AS
before stated he summoned the police
ambulance unnecessarily and the injured
man was taken to the City Hospital. He
was not unconscious as an evening pa
per stated, and was able to go to his
home an hour later. Officer Whalen said
that Mcmahon G. Scanlons saloon had
never caused him any trouble before
Burman was resting comfortably at his
home last night, and when seen by The
Spy reporter laughed at the attempt at
sensa tionalism in the evening paper He
said that he was not unconscious, and
never for moment expected that Hanlon
would attack him as he did.
Hanlon has a wife and six children and
has been arrested several times When
sober he is quiet man, but when under
the influence of liquor is unable to gov
ern himself.
Yesterday afternoon he was drunk and
said last night that he did not know why
he struck Burman. Both proprietors Of
the saloon have for the last two years
conducted one of the quietest liquor stores
in Worcester, and never before has there
been trouble in their place. In fact, it
has been considered one of the most re-
putable places in Worcester, A number
of years ago Burman and Hanlon had
some trouble over unionism, and the fight
yesterday was the result of an old sore

The MAD RACE is ON
Candidates For Alder
men Appear in All
Quarters.
SWEDISH VOTERS WANT A SEAT.
A Second Term For Ken
dali May Spoil Han
sons Chances.

While there seems little doubt of the
ability of C. F. Hanson to represent
ward and incidentally the Swedish
American voters of Worcester IN the
aldermanic board, republicans in ward
2 are unwilling to say that Sanford c.
Kendall is not entitled to another term.
Then, again, the Swedish voters in
ward would like to see Francis o.
Dahlquist elected, if they are to be rep
resented in the board. A leading Swe-
dish republican said yesterday that his
people are not so much DESTROYS of
having a representative of their race
elected to the board as they are in Sc
curing the nomination and election of
men fitted for the position. Either of
the men mentioned would be satisfac-
tory. All that is wanted is a good man
for the place.
The announcement that Aldermen
Brannon and Huot would withdraw
this year, in addition to the vacancy
caused by the death of Alderman Wall
and possibly other vacancies, leaves
plenty of room in the upper board for
ambitious candidates.
Louis ]. Kendall announced himself
several weeks ago as willing to repre-
sent ward g. and his friends claim he
will make a strong candidate. Still an
other candidate who is said to be feel
ing the public pulse in the eighth ward
is Frank B. Hall. In ward l, Charles
A. Vaughan wants another term, and
will doubtless be returned. There has
been some talk of Frederick w. White,
president of the common council, stand
ing for the office, but prominent men in
the ward say that Alderman Vaughan S
reelection is assured.
Councilman Fred D. Johnson is I'M
decided as to whether he will try for
the nomination in ward 7. Mr.. John
son says he has been approached by
several who want him to try for the
office, but that business matters will
influence his decision.
The terms of several members of. the
common council expire this year, and
there will be dozens of candidates for
these offices as we'll as for places in
the school board.
The Massachusetts Progressive Asso-
citation, the local organization of col
ored voters, is increasing it's member
ship steadily, and may try to place
one of its members in the city coun-
Gil this year. w. M. Coshburn of ward
and George A. Busby of ward l are
the men most talked Of

The feature of the celebration, the
parade, will start promptly at noon,
but previous to that will be the pres
entation OF watch 10 Admiral Dewey
at city hall, in behalf of the city OF
Boston, and then the singing of over
10000 school children on the common.
After the procession, the ceremony at
tendant upon the transfer of the colors
Of the Spanish war to the state, and
in the evening the state dinner to Ad-
miral Dewey, at the Algonquin Club.
FLORAL GIFT.
When Admiral Dewey arrived at his
suite Of rooms in the Hotel Touraine
this evening, he found a beautiful floral
design fully six feet in height, the gift
of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution, of Massachusetts. The piece
was made up of the choicest American
beauty roses arranged like an enor-
nous bouquet. The long stems are tied
with ribbons of blue and white. the col
ors Of the society. In the ribbon bow
twined around the base are two silken
flags. the stars and stripes and the adj
mirals colors.
FLAG PRESENTATION.
One of the most interesting events
connected with the visit of Admiral
Dewey to this city, but one to which
the public will not he admitted, will be
the presentation to him by Frederick F.
Hassam Of Hyde Park, of a flag used by
Commodore Moore us the Texas navy
more than half a century ago. The last
public display of this flag was in 1852
when 1t was thrown across State street
at the exact spot where the Boston
massacre occurred. 1t is swallow tailed
in shape and dark deep red in color.
Il was woven on hard loom and was
presented to Mr.. IIassam by a naval
rf'icer who was on the vessel with Com
pt7dore Moore. The presentation to Ad-
lairal Dewey will be nls de in behalf uf
Mr.. Hassam by J. Reed Whipple al the

President Daniel ]. Foley of the Jour

cused of being under cover while the
parade Of local labor organizations was
being held last week Friday. A signed
communication depicting the horrible
example of president who did not
march in the parade, has been published

which has resulted in his vindication.
The writer of the communication has
