Are Now Connected.
LAST EARTH REMOVED TODAY
Interesting Event at Chicago Wit
messed by Few Persons.
MEANS MUCH TO THAT CITY

CHICAGO, January 2-At 9 o'clock this
morning water was turned into the s33, ,OOO,-
0OO drainage canal, and began to flow
toward Lockport, where it will fall into the
DesplaineS river, and thence through the
Illinois and Mississippi rivers to the Gulf
or Mexico. What is termed by the canal
engineers the collateral channel has been
for some time completed from the Chicago
river, in the southwestern part of the city,
to within fifteen feet Of the main channel
The fifteen-foot wall of earth. with two
sluice gates behind it, has been all that has
kept the Chicago river and Lake Michigan
out of the canal. At 10 o'clock Monday
night steam dredge began to cut away
this wall of EARTH and few minutes be-
fore o'clock today the water in the col
lateral channel was against the sluice gates
and only a few inches of timber remained
to be removed before Chicago was to realize
her dream of years and see the great canal
in actual operation.
How the Work Was Done,
When the water began to back up against
the sluice gates the timbers were knocked
away and the first water from the Chicago
river ran into the canal. The engineers of
the sanitary district have cut q channel to
carry 100000 cubic feet of water a minute,
but today the water was allowed to flow
into the canal at the rate of only $4,000
cubic feet minute. The effect of turning
100000 cubic feet of water minute into
the empty canal would be like the bursting
of a reservoir and would tear away every
bridge over the canal and wreck the con-
trolling works at Lockport. Therefore the
water will be turned in gradually. Prob
ably week Will elapse before the canal is
full uf water and is carrying away the
sewage that cow flows into the Chicago
river.
Few Spectators Present.
An occasion that might have been made
one of the most memorable in the eventful
history of Chicago was suffered to pass by
unimproved, because the trustees of the
sanitary district were intent only on their
great aim-the opening of the canal Aside
from the trustees and the engineers of the
board, there were less than dozen specta-
tors present

No Indication That Gen. Otis Looks
for an Uprising.
NOTHING BEYOND STREET TRIOlSLIKELY
Natives, 1t is Believed, Will Yield
to Fair Treatment.
THE NASHVILLE AT MANILA

There has been nothing in the official re-
ports to the War Department from Gen.
Otis to Indicate any apprehension on his
part Of an uprising of Tagals i'll Manila.
With the considerable force Of United
States troops already in the town. with
the formidable fleet of naval vessels lying
with the town right under their guns, and
with a large army along the line of the
Manila-Dagupan railroad, which could be
speedily concentrated in the town, an at
tempt at an uprising on the part of the
natives would seem like madness. in the
opinion Of the officials here. 1t is, there
fore, believed that the extent of the dis
orders contemplated would be limited to
mere street rioting in some of the outlying
suburbs, and perhaps covert attempts at
assassination of American soldiers.
An officer who has only recently done
provost marshal duty at Manila is authori-
ty for the statement that the relations be-
tween the natives and the United States
forces have vasly improved, and while he
says that a close scrutiny must be kept
upon the Tagals for some time, he is con-
fident that the fair and Just treat tment
which the American soldiers are according
the natives will soon remove all cause for
differences.
The Nashville Mt Manila.
The gunboat Nashville arrived at Manila
saturday, making the fourth of the five
vessels recently ordered to Manila at the
suggestion of Admiral Dewey. The Nash
vile was the first of the feet to get away,
sailing from San Juan de Puerto Rico Oc-
tober IA. The Brooklyn, the Newark and
the New Orleans, all starting at a later
date, have arrived out, leaving only the
little Marietta to complete the voyage.
The Marietta left Norfolk three days later
than the sailing of the Nashville from San
Juan, and is about that distance behind
her. 1t was not to be expected that either
of these vessels should make as good time
on the long voyage the Brooklyn and
New Orleans, owing to their inferior size.
Admiral Watson will now be in position to
actively support General Otis in opening
up the ports in the southern Philippines. in
accordance with instructions from the War
Department. The smaller vessels which
have been sent out to him will be particu-
larly serviceable in doing duty as guard
ships in the smaller ports.

About That Open Secret.

Col. Sands organ, which Mr. Nc
Kay is presumed to edit, has finally.
with the consent of the Archbishop
OF course, tried to reply to our query
concerning the removal of DR.. H. G.
Campbell from the Pension Board.
We say he tried to reply, and that
Is all, for there is no defense that can
be made to such bold political
scheming.
The Archbishop's organ refers us
to the Commissioner of Pensions
who, he says, may open our eyes &c.
We desire to say that we have re-
ceived communication from the
Commissioner of Pensions and the
records OF the Pension Department
have been thoroughly examined
without finding flaw or blot upon
the official record of DIR. Campbell
To the contrary, the commissioner
relates that the Doctors record
shows him to have been one of the
most conscientious and painstaking
pension examiners in the service.
The records also show that The re-
moval of DR.. Campbell was the work
OF malice and spite, and was the
grossest piece of ingratitude in the
history Of politics in this neck of the
woods. Mr.. Sands-McKay knows
that he is saying what is false if he
means to insinuate anything against
the official record of DR.. Campbell.
III the organ of the Archbishop IS
timid about publishing what it seeks
by inuendo to imply, the DEMOCRAT
Is open to Bro. Sands-McKay to
make the charges boldly and ex-
plicitly. The DEMOCRAT feels that
1t is doing good service for its party
when 1t thus opens the gates to our
harmonious Cd brethren of the on
position to air their soiled linen. We
recognize DR.. Campbell as one of our
bitterest partisan enemies, who has
never shown us any quarter in the
battle of politics, gentleman in
manner, but persistent foe to Demo-
cracy and we feel that he is entitled to
a hearing,when assailed by the organ
OF his own party, censored by a man
whose political life has been check

decisive. While the result in Maine

its ability, discredit to the country at
