island, he will find a new canal, $50
feet in width and LOO feet long, con-
Quoting a lazily flowing stream Of
water away from the main body and
leading it to handsome limestone
building of pleasing though plain
architectural design. On entering
this building, he will discover that
the interior is one long room, where
in are placed IN a single row running
centrally throughout the entire length
ten mammoth electrical generators,
revolving in all the majesty Of in
herent power. And this is the result.
Of all the planning and designing the
fnanciering mad legislative delibera-
ton; this is the central source from
which the hundred new industries at
tracted to a new manufacturing
center obtain their power, and upon
which Buffalo, fifteen miles away de-
ponds for the operation of many of
its street railways and mills. That
canal which so unostentatiously takes
its fraction from the Niagara river
has a capacity in its twelve feet Of
depth to serve the station with water
sufficient for the generation of 100,-
900 horsepower, twice the capacity
Of the present electrical installation.
The power station is nearly 500 feet
long, and is built over an excavation
in the solid rock ITS feet deep, which
runs it's entire length-a mammoth
cellar This is the wheel-pit wherein,
at the bottom and directly under the
dynamos in the room above, are
placed the immense turbine water
wheels which change the energy
stored in the falling water into me-
chanical rotation. The turbines and
generators are directly connected by
shafts made of 38-inch steel tubes, 81
inch in thickness, narrowing down to
short, solid sections, occasional to-
pass through guides which maintain
the vertical alignment and terminal
ing in 11h-inch hollow-forged dy-
namo shafts at the upper end. The
immense weight of this shaft and of
the revolving parts of the water
wheels and dynamos is supported by
the water impinging against the
blades fthe wheel and the upward
thrust of the water against a balance
piston, which is formed by the car
rier of one of the rings of turbine
blades of the wheel and the upward
vertical thrust is taken up by a thrust
bearing near the dynamo floor. The
pen-stocks, which conduct the water
from the canal to the turbines, con-
sist of 71a-foot steel tubes running
from the head gates at the surface to
the turbine ''deck" 40 feet below,
paralleling the connecting shafts No
draft tubes are used on the other side
of the water-wheels, the water after
leaving them, simply dropping to the
bottom of the wheelpit where a,
short, curved passage conducts it to
the exit tunnel, and it flows at the
rate of about 20 miles an hour to the
river below.-William G. Andrews in

A Rebuff for Spain.

"Curiously enough" notes the New
York Press, ''the Spanish government
cherishes the delusion that it holds
a brief in favor of the religious or
ders in the Philippines. A recent
diplomatic note to the Vatican pro-
testing against the threatened conf1s-
cation of the property of the friars
and beseeching the pope to use his
authority to prevent this spoliation
was met with so sharp rebuke that
the attempt on the part of Spain to
intervene in the matter is not likely to-,
be repeated. If the authorities of the
church should settle the differences
between the Fflipinos and the friars
in manner satisfactory to the former
they would relieve this government
of great embarrassment"

RIVER AND HARsoR PLANS.
House Committee to Accord Hearings
to Parties Interested.

Washington, Dec. 17.-The advocates
of a deep-water channel between ST.
Louis and Cairo will be given an OPP
portunity. If they desire. to be heard
before the house committee on rivers
and harbors. Chairman Burton of
that committee, stated Sunday that the
committee would take no action until
after the holiday recess. but that when
the work was finally undertaken all of
the projects would be considered as
new. The old bill, talked to death
in the senate at the last session, will
be used as model. but all of the plans
and projects will be considered as new
measures. In response to a question.
Chairman Burton stated that public
hearings would be granted on the diff
ferent projects and that advocates of
the deep channel project south from
ST. Louis would be heard If they de-
sired. He stated that all the hearings
would be necessarily brief.
While Mr.. Burton is disposed to be
liberal in the matter of appropriations
for river and harbor improvements, it
lis understood that the committee will
limit its appropriation to 100000 or
less. This is in compliance with a
tacit rule of the committee and also
with the wishes of the secretary Of war,
who is known to be opposed to many
Of the projects under consideration.

CONFIRMATION OF KNOX
The Senate Ratifies His Nomination as
Attorney General,

Washington, Dec. 17.-Just before adj
journment last night the senate con-
firmed the nomination of Hon Philander
G. Knox to be attorney general OF the
United States. The discussion Of the
attorney generals nomination turned
upon a motion made by Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, TO recommit the nominal
ton to the committee on judiciary, in
the meantime publishing the testimony
bearing on the case. Speeches in favor
of this proposition were made by Sena-
tors Jones and Turner, and in opposition
by Senator'S Hoar and Pettus. 1t was
contended by the two senators last
named that the only evidence presented
against confirmation had been filed by
members OF the Antitrust League and
was very vague and indefinite. The sem
ators fayoring the motion said that IL
this were true, there could be no objec-
ton on the part of the friends of the at
torney general to placing all the facts
within the reach of the public, and the
more time the committee should give
the subject the more thoroughly the
public would be convinced of the fair
ness of its position, when ultimately
taken. They dwelt at some length upon
the charge made that the attorney gen.
eral, previous to entering upon the du-
ties of that office. had been attorney for
the United States Steel Corporation and
the armor plate manufacturers. In re-
Ply to these accusations, II was said that
1t was legitimate for an attorney in pri-
waite life to represent any interest In his
professional capacity, and It was argued
that his position as counsellor for those
interests could not be used iegitimately
against him in connection with his new
position under the present administra-
ton. So long as he had conducted him.
self with propriety, his relationship as
an attorney should not be used to his in
jury as an official. The vote on the mo-
ton to recommit was lost. The ballot
stood 40 to Z. There was no roll call on
the motion to confirm, which immediate
~ followed.
