Strict Silence Maintained.

Strict silence is maintained in official
circles regarding the Bundesrath Incl
dent but the correspondent Of the As
sDciated Press learns that the affair
has created an extremely painful i'm
preston in political circles. Energetic
diplomatic steps were Immediately
taken in London and the inadmissibility
of the right of a British cruiser to
search a German mail steamer on the
high seas has been emphatically as
serted. The government is awaiting
LOndcn's response before taking
further action.
The press continues to point out the
innovation involved in Great Britain s
action in Selling a vessel between
neutral ports and searching for con-
ira band destined TO further transpOr-
tatiOn in order to work the enemy.
The owners Of the Deutschland deny
positively that she contained persons
or goods justifying seizure. The Ham
burg chamber of commerce reiterates
this, expressing at the same time a
firm conviction that satisfaction Will
be demanded and accorded Hamburg s
trade is suffering through such Incl
dents and this increases the anti
British sentiment there.

WILL BE- TWO REPORTS
IN The ROBERTS CASE
Minority Of the Investigating Committee Will Ask
That Utah Congressman Be Seated
Sessions Will Be Resumed Thursday When the accused
Man Will Be Heard In His Own Behalf

Washington, Jan. 2.-The report of
the committee of the house Of repre-
sentatives which is investigating the
case of Mr.. Roberts of Utah viii be
made soon after congress Teassembles,
and there is reason to believe the ma
jOrity report will recommend that Rob
erts be excluded from the house and
be not permitted under his credentials
to exercise any prima facie right Of
being sworn in.
Whether the report viii be unani-
nous is open to doubt, as three of the
members Of the committee are not
counted on as positively favorable to
the course indicated, and this may re-
suit in the submission of minority
report. The minority view, if submit
ted, probably viii deal with the prima
facie right to be sworn in on creden-
tiaIs which are regular, and VIII rec
Ommend that Roberts be sworn in and
thereafter expelled.
The committee viii resume its hear

testimony is closed, however, Chairman
Tayler of Ohio having learned that the
remaining witnesses in Utah VIII not

It is expected, therefore, that Thurs
day will be given TO Mr.. Roberts for

Chicago, Jan 2.-The S33, 100000 ca
nal at present used for sewage, but ul-
tiraately to be a ship canal, is in use
today after seven years OF hard work
by the trustees of the sanitary district,
which is the name of a corporation in
GLIDING the larger part Of the city Of
Chicago and many Of its suburbs. At
least, the Chicago end Of it is in use,
but the water has not yet reached the
other end at LOckport. H., and will not
reach it for several days.
Probably never before has the COM
pletion of a public work of such mag
nitude been marked with such absO-
lutte lack of ceremony. There were no
speeches. no exercises, no cheering.
About s a. 10. the sanitary district trus-
tees and engineer gathered at the
scene. Besides a few workmen there
were not a dozen spectators. There
was no grand rush of water to be fol-
lowed by the cheers Of spectators. In
deed, the opening Of the canal resem-
bled more the tiny stream of water

Cleveland, o., Jan. 2.-According 20
the Cleveland Leader, information re-

to President Mckinley and Senator
Hanna, is to the effect that not only
will Senator Hanna be the chairman

PRAISE FOR THE TROOPS.
All England Delighted Over the
Achievement Of Colonials.

London, Jan. 3.--The morning papers
are unanimous in praising the gal
lantry Of the Canadian and Colonial
troops. The Times SAYS:
THE mother country viii share with
the Canadians and Australians in the
pride ana qualification they must feel
at the fine qualities displayed by their
troops in this dashing little engage
ment.'
The Standard says: THE Canadians
and Australians had been spelling for
a fight. Now they have had thelr-9D-
portunity and they have greatly dis
tinguished themselves by their GOODNESS
and discipline. From the view point
Of imperial unity, the little fight may
fairly be described as one Of the most
gratifying events recorded in the recent
history of the British Tace."
Although the continuance Of minor
successes gratifies the British public
it is not forgotten that the larger
aspects of the campaign are unchanged.
As the Daily News remarks, 1T is a
day of small mercies."

French's and Colonel Pitchers victories

HOW THE FIGHT WAS WI
Great GallantTy Was Displayed /

Belmont, Cape Colony, Monday, Jan.
IA dispatch from Dover Farm, dat.
ed Jan. 1. says: 1.-THE colonial troops
who have been longing TO be allowed to
meet the Beers have at last been given
an opportunity to do so and scored a
brilliant success. The raid conducted
by Colonel Pitcher was very difficult,
owing to the fact that the movements
of the troops We're Immediately COM
municated to the Beers by the MAJ
tives.
IN order to prevent this Colonel Pill
cher, in making his forced march from
Belmont, left a British trooper at every
farm house with instructions not TO al

natives hourly in order to prevent their

and Private Butler gave up his horse

range.
Another private whose horse had
bOlted plucNily returned to render as

was received with great satisfaction.
The company rushed forward until

a great hole in the wall OF edrth.
That is the way the great canal was
opened. This method was used to
avoid the danger Of a sudden rush of
waters, but it robbed the opening Of
all impressiveness.
Letting In the Water.
What is called the collateral channel
has been completed for some time from
a branch Of the Chicago river in the
southwestern part Of the city to within
fifteen feet of the canal. Monday night
a big steam dredge began to cut away
this wall of earth, but the work had
not been finished when the sanitary
district trustees arrived on the scene
this morning.
Shortly before 8 q. m. a small stream
Of water was flowing through the hole
in the ffteen-fOot wall. It backed up
against a sluice gate and at O'Clock
the gate was opened. Then a small
stream of dirty water flowed half way
to the canal and stopped. BY this
time the dredge had cut away some
more earth. and more water came over
the dam. This. with what had gone
before, trickled out on the ice-covered
bed of the main channel, and the great
canal had been opened
The men at work on the earth dam
tried a charge of dynamite to remove
an ice jam that was interfering with
the flow Of water, but the opening was
not enlarged At last the dredge
worked itself close up to the dam Of
earth, and with a few sweeps of its
arm, cut a big hole in the dam. Quite
| a stream of water came through, but
the dredge continued for hours to cut
away the fifteen-fOOt wall Of earth.

Carries Great Amount of Water.
The dredge continued at work all
day. so as to make the discharge So
600 cubic feet or more a minute. The
canal has been built to carry 100000
cubic feet a minute, but only about
so. 600 feet a minute will be admitted
until the channel is full. IF the Chi
cago river had been turned into the
empty canal at the rate Of 100000 feet
minute the engineers would have
feared for the safety Of the numerous
bridge piers in the canal channel and
for the controlling works at LOclpOTt
and the city of Joliet, forty miles away.
| There would have also been great dan
ger in the Chicago river from a sud-
rushing from Lake Michigan.
About Wednesday at noon the water
| is expected to reach LOckport, and
/ about four days from the time the

of the chief engineer, the canal will be
| full and the water viii begin to run

stream, which is so Objectionable in
