Water is Turned Into the Big
Sanitary CaEal.
TIDE OF THE RIVER

Michigan
POurs Its Waters Down Toward
the Gulf of Mexico.
TIDE OF THE RIVER

Chicago, Jan AT 9 o'clock this
morning water was turned into the
5000. 900 drainage canal and began to
flow toward Lockport where it will fall
into the Des PLANES river and thence
through the Illinois and Mississippi
river to the Gulf. What IS termed by
the canal engineers the collateral
channel" has been for some time COM
pleted from the Chicago river in the
southwestern part of the city to within
fifteen feet of the main channel of the
canal This fifteen foot wall of earth
with two sluice gates behind it has been
all that kept the Chicago river and
Lake Michigan out of the canal.
At 10 o'clock Monday night a steam
dredge began to cut away this wall of
earth and a few minutes before o'clock
today the water in the collateral chan
mel was against the Sluicc gates and
only a few inches of timber remained
20 be removed before Chicago was to
realize her dream of years and see the
great canal in actual operation When
the water began to back up against the
sluice gates the timbers were knocked
away and the first water from the Chi
cago river ran into the canal.
The engineers OF the sanitary district
have cut a channel to carry 800, 900
cubi, feet of water a minute but today
the water was allowed to flow into the
canal at the rate of only 5000 cubic
feet 3 minute. The effect of turning
5UU,UO0 CUBIC teer OF water a minute INTO
the empty canal would be like to burst
ing of a reservoir and would tear away
every bridge over the canal and wreck
the controlling works at Lockport.
Therefore, the water will be turned in
gradually. Probably a week will elapse
before the canal is full of water and
is carrying away the sewage that now
flows into the Chicago river.
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 one great aim
the opening the canal. Aside from the
trustees and the engineers OF the board

In the senate caucus Senator Harold
created a sensation by making an al
legged exposure of the anti-Goebel lead
ers, declaring that he had been ap-
preached by J. H. Whallen, of Louis

caucus. The money, he said, had been
placed in a box with the Louisville

passed up to Senator Goebel. who was

Manila, Jan. 2.-The firat movement
of a general advance occurred when
two battalions of the Thirty-ninth in

on the south side of Laguna de Bay.
Two Americans We're killed and four
were wounded Twenty-four of the en-

which was made under the enelny's
shrapnel fire. The enemy evacuated the
place before the charging Americans,
retreating to Santa Rosa, to which
town they were pursued.
Heavy fighting occurred along the
road to Santa Rosa which was occu-
pied by the insurgents retreating south
toward Slang. The Americans burned
the country between and around Ca

thousand Filipinos who intended to rise

also found showing a distribution of the
