Whichever horn of the dilemma the
Schley prosecution may choose, it
would seem that il must involve the
resignation either of Admiral Sampson
or Secretary Long, or both.

behalf is made in this instance that

HARVESTING NIAGARA.

Some alarmlsts are fearful lest that
peerless attraction of Uncle Sans do
main. Niagara Falls be dried up
through the diversion Of the mighty
current for use in generating electrical
power for industrial purposes, The
water that can be so utilized must
come from the stream before it tum-
bles in that giant cascade which has
been the wonder of centuries. and the
fear is that this will so lessen the vol
ume of water as to ruin the Falls as
thing of grandeur A scientific con-
temporary gives us re1zstr3nee on
this score, however:
Perhaps the apparent flow over the falls
is not less now than it WAS when white
men first discovered Niagara river. Tho
effect of using the current fer power has
not yet been perceived. The fail Is as
broad as ever, the waves that roll seeth-
ing from the upper verge of tho preeipiee
to the depths below are not to the sight
less in volume than they were hundreds
of years ago.
Bur the fearful scientists demonstrate
that theoretically the falls are driving up.
Already franchises have been granted by
New York and Canada covering prospect
i've developments of 330o00 or i09.ea0 horse
power. Perhaps many of the corporations
holding these grants exist only on paper,
but they will become valuable from year
to year and will not be allowed to lapse.
1t is estimated that the total productive
value of Niagara falls is 100000 horse
power but it may be ten times that, for
science has no plan of measurement by
which it can be even approximately esti-
mated 1t is as difficult as it would be to
calculate the dynamic energy of all the
waves of the ocean.
Still. it would be wise for the govern
ments controlling the franchises to be
economical in dsposng of them. Genera
lions ago we supposed that our great for
ests were iraxhaustible. but their shade is
NOW becoming limited. The countless
herds OF buffalo have been killed off. Sa-
gacious men begin to calculate as to how
long the coal mines will last.
All the admonitions of experience tend
to show the importance of saving the
water powers of the country. They will
be useful for the generation of electrical
power when coal becomes scarce and so
high in price as to be unavailable in the
industries y little anxiety on tn" subject
of the value and duration of Niagara

THE SOUTH SIDE.
Traces of the Flood Rapidly Disap-

Traces of the Flood Rapidly Disap-
pearing and the District Taking
on It's Old Appearance.
Last evening nearly all traces OF the
flood had disappeared from the South
Side streets and the district was taking
on its old appearance, but it will be sew
eral days before the water will have
disappeared from the cellars and bust
ness fully resumed. Last evening the
only streets remaining under water were
Market, from Twenty-f1fth to Twenty
seventh streets, and Wood at Forty
third, and the water will have disap-
peared from them by this morning and
street car traffic can be resumed. Yes
terday street cars were run blow Four
tenth street to Twenty nth, from
Twenty-seventh to Forty eighth, all on
the uptown tracks.
The water yesterday disappeared
from the street car barns and the cars,
which were standing on Chapline street
near Twenty-second, were taken back
to the barns.
Early in the day the water left the
Niagara engine house and the appara-
tus and horses were again installed in
their old quarters.
AS fast as the water went down the
residents of the inundated districts
cleaned their pavements and the city
followed close behind with big force
OF men and cleaned the streets. Last
night the majority of the residents had
cleaned out their houses and in many
cases had moved in again. Work was
resumed in all the industrial plants,
with the exception of part Of the La
Belle The loss in this vicinity is very
small.
The sewer at Forty-ffth street has
caved in and it will take some time to
repair it.

The wall ct the Pennsylvania depot
has caused riyermen and shippers great
inconvenience, and the general verdict
is that the city should provide mer-

Capt. Crockard stated yesterday that
he had merchandise on the boat from
last Friday. the merchants being unable
to get near the boat ON account OF the
high water. If this wall were not in
the way, the boat could be pulled in
and no inconvenience would be caused.

Gaylord.s Cancer Di.covery.

Professor Gaylord's discovery OF the
true cause of cancer marks the begin
ming OF a new. era in the management
Of this hitherto fatal and agonizing
class Of diseases. His first and author
itatiye publication will appear in the
American Journal OF the Medical
Sciences for May, 1901, (Lea Brothers
& Co., Philadelphia}. In it he will give
fuii description Of the organism, IL
Illustrating 1t with II full-page plates,
and VIII make the first complete re-
port OF tine production OF cancer in ami
mails by incubation with pure culture
OF the germ. This will be followed
with summary Of the length of life
and gross LESSONS of ~ animals SO in
oculated. Such transfer of the dis
ease to animals with germs derived
originally from human sufferers and
cultivated outside of the human body,
in connection with the positive identi-
flcation OF the disease in the animals,
constitutes scientific proof, and clears
the way for preventive and curative
measures. DR.. Gaylord furthermore
shows the correlation of the findings
of various Investigators in hardened
tissues with the different phases OF the
living cultivated organism, as web as
the relation Of the organism Of cancer
to the protozoon Of small pox. The
author will conclude his first paper
with a consideration of the fungus
theory of cancer.
In the subsequent issue Of the Amer
lean Journal of the Medical Sciences,
DR.. Gaylord will give an analysis OF the
patho- astrological findings in the It's
sues OF the II inoculated animals, thus
clinching his proof with the micro
scope. He will review the literature
and summarize the work Of others bear
ing on the subject.
Great as is this epochal discovery, it
has a still further interest from the
fact that the methods by which it was
achieved can be applied to the investi-
cation of other diseases caused by ami
NAL parasites. Investigation is rapidly
bringing unexpected numbers of the
most violent and painful human dis
eases into two classes, bacterial (caus-
ed by vegetable parasites) and proto-
goal (caused by animal parasites). The
discovery OF the germ of the disease
and the ability to separate 1t and Gull
tivate 1t furnish the steps towards the
prepa ration OF preventive and curative
agents.

The situation Still Continues Dad,
But the Streets VIII Probably Be
Clear This Afternoon.
The situation at Benwood continued
bad yesterday, but the prospects for to-
day are brighter, and it is probable
that this afternoon the streets will be
free OF water Last night at Whitemans
in North Benwood, the streets were
still fiooued and in the houses there
was from one to two feet of water.
In Central Benwood some of the
streets were clear in the middle of the
town, but McMechen, upper and lower
Main ard sll the cross streets we're still
flooded to a depth of several feet, and
very few houses in this district were
free of water. On upper McMechen
street the water had disappeared and
the residents had their houses about
hxed up again. SkiT riding was still
popular and numerous accidents were
reported. but none resulted seriously.
At the Wheeling Steel and Iron

and nothing can be done. At the Riv-

The only way to avoid trouble of this
sort in food time is to shut the gas
of at the street when the water begins
to fill UP the cellars, and turn 1t on again
when the fall commences. A gas meter
won't work while under water. and a
half pint of water in service pipe
means all kinds of tribulation By the
way. 1T wouldn't be bad idea for peo-
pie In districts of the city exposed to
floods to have their gas meters set up
on me first floor or above. There is no
reason why the meter should invariably
be in the cellar, and its elevation would
obviate much of the inconvenience re-
sulting when the water comes in. ANY
old place will do for meter. Why not

normal. There were exceptions. how
ever. Along Vermont, FLORIDA, Elm,
Fink and South Front streets there was
still good deal OF q mess yesterday,
and the conditions in the old fair
ground regions were not quite desirable.
To-day will largely mend matters, how
ever, and bright day or two will heiD
out materially. One OF the worst local
tiles Oh the Island was under the steel
bridge viaduct. on Ohio street. Yester-
day afternoon it was a regular mess,
with all sorts Of debris floating about
in the muddy water, and a number OF
boys desported themselves on improvls-
cd RATS. The low ground below Ohio
street was also very nasty, great pools
OF water standing in lots, where the
drainage was BAD. On South Front
street the residents cleaned off
the sidewalks, and force OF
B. p. w. men kindly removed
the rubbish from the street car
track, in many cases throwing 1t back
on the grass plots along the pavement,
to the great annoyance OF those who
had cleared the pathway. There was
considerable indignation last evening
about this matter.
The street railways did not get into
complete working order during the day,
but made a distinct gain and reported
progress. To-day all lines will prob
ably be running as usual, and there
will be no further trouble on that
score.
Only one or two isolated cases of real
distress were reported, and while the
aggregate loss from the freshet was
large, there is no case of suffering.
Many are temporarily Inconvenience
however, and in scores OF cases there
will be unexpected expense which resi-
dents can i'll afford to stand. A little
time will adjust these losses, however.
The general situation is by no means
as bad as it was three years ago. when
the water was several feet higher, and
is not half as bad as in 1891.

were for cloudy weather, with little or
no rain. AS matter of fact there was
little sunshine along about noon, and
quite good deal OF rain at night, the
hours from nine until one o'clock this
morning being particularly disagree
able. The temperature ranged from 43

barometer was 99.40 inches at ten
