what Goes Into Dam.
Frnm Leslie,s Monthly.

The ordinary layman who sees the
results of such labor as the dam across
the Hudson river at Glens Falls cannot
grasp the details with shy comprehen-
sion. To say that 10000 barrels of ce-
ment were used in making the con-
crete in which the huge blocks of gran
ite were laid; to state that 100000 tons
of this same granite were built into
the wall; that 10000 trees were cut for
the woodwork; that $500 men labored
three years to complete this narrow
barrier stretching across the river,
represents only a series of ungraspable
ideas.
The cable ways used to transport
buckets of cement and blocks of stone
were the largest in the world, the big
gest 2,400 feet in length. 1t needs 11,4O0
feet, or fully two miles. of wire to run
this gigantic aerial road.
The finished dam-it will probably be
completed early next spring-will be
], 400 feet long, exclusive of the 400-foot
wall of the canal built to conduct the
water to the turbine vheels. The great
est weight will be 154 feet, with a
width along the top of II feet. There
are one or two such constructions
slightly larger in sizesJbut none that
bars so mighty and powerful river.
The power developed will be $4,000
horse power at times.

CUBAN CONGRESS
AGAIN IN SESSION
President PaIma's Message Treats of Cuba'S
Relations With the United States

Havana, April 6.-Congress reas-
sembled at o'clock this afternoon and
will probably continue in session for
three months on account of the neces-
sity for the enactment of many laws
before all the departments of the gov
eminent get throughly under way.
A message from President Palma was
read at the opening session. The
President congratulated the country
on the maintenance of peace and order
since the strikes last November He
recommended new legislation concern
ing municipalities and sanitation.
The message then says:
our relations with the United
States continue to be close and cord
ial. Much more gratifying is the
noble and resolutely favorable atti-
tude of the President of the great
Republic. 1t is not enough to remem-
Der the obstacles which the stubborn
will have overcome in negotiating the
reciprocity treaty and obtaining the
ratification thereof, and his firm pur-
pose to summon a special session of
Congress to definitely approve it. Be
sides the sympathy and respect which
We inspire among the American peo-
pie by our exemplary conduct as an
independent people, who realize the
duties and responsibilities of citizen
ship, these circumstances powerfully
contribute in solidifying the good un-
derstanding by both nations.

COTTON ON A JUMP
MAY FUTURES WE'RE FORCED AS
HIGH AS 1898
BY THE SHORTS COVERING.
BULLS TRIED TO DISCOURAGE THE
ADVANCE.

Demand for July and other Months
Was Also Strong and All Showed
an Advance-Weather Conditions
and Supply Accountable for the
Rise in Prices-ThOugh There
Was "a Big Jump in the Morning
1t Continued in the Afternoon.
Closing Strong.
New York, April 6.-May cotton was
again the feature of a sensational cot
ton market to-day selling up to lO.3Oc,
a new high record mark. in the first
half. other options advancing from l
to points.
There was again very strong de-
mand for July which, next to May, was
most active. The bulls maintained
their attitude of last week and did
what they could to discourage the ad-
vance, but were helpless in the face of
unusual conditions. over 100000 bales
are due Liverpool, and the visible sup
ply in this market is barely half of that
of last year. Good weather improved
cables, and the great excess of exports
which the shorts find impossible to
overcome.
The top price for May was reached
several times in the first hour. July
went to 9.S3c, and other options were
correspondingIy strong and active. The
market maintained its firm tone all
through the first hour.
There was a renewal of the rumor of
last week that plans are being laid to
organize a corner in July. Further buy
ing by the shorts advanced the price Of
May cotton to 10.34c at 1870 o'clock.
July was quoted at 9.S5c and August at
SAC. The bulls were still apparently
Indifferent to the further advance,
which resulted almost altogether from
short covering. In spite of the earn
est efforts of the bulls to check the adj
vance, May sold up to 1O.35c, before the
end of the morning session.
Offerings were decidedly light and
the maintenance of high prices was
due almost entirely to covering of short
contracts.
May cotton touched 1O.3Sc, the top
price of the day, in the early after
noon. There was no special news to
account for the further advance, other
than that the shorts were still fear
full OF the SITUATION ana continued 10
cover The bull faction appeared to
be we'll satisfied with conditions and
sold May moderately.
The market became somewhat unset
tied toward the close, with prices
generally below the top, although the
reputed leader of the long interest was
reported to have purchased something
like 5000 bales of May cotton at a
price very near the high figure.
The closing was steady with these
bid and asked prices: May, 1880
1880; July, 9.92@993c; September, $50
0S.S3c, and November, S.42@S.43c.

change made in the entire West by the
extended use of alfalfa.
of course, fundamentally each man
will yet find that the chief factor in
determining his success or failure in
life is the sum of his own individual
qualities He cannot afford to lose his
individual initiative his individual will
and power; but he can best use mat
power if for certain objects he unites
with his fellows. Much can be done by
organization, combination, union among
the wage workers; finally something
can be done by the direct action of
the state. 1t is not possible empirically
to declare when the interference of the
state should be deemed legitimate and
when illegitimate.
The line of demarcation between
unhealthy Over-interference and un-
healthy lack of regulation is not al
ways we'll defined, and shifts with the
change in our industrial needs. Most
certainly we should never invoke the
interference of the state or nation un-
less it is absolutely necessary; but it
is equally true that when confident of
its necessity we should not on acad-
emic grounds refuse it.
''Of course the national government
has but a small field in which it can
work in labor matters. Something it
can do, however, and that something
ought to be DONE Among other things
| should like to see the District of
Columbia, which is completely under
the control of the national government,
receive a set of model labor laws.
Washington is not a city of very large
industries, but still it has some. Wise
labor legislation for the city of Wash
ington would be a good thing in itself,
and it would be a far better thing, be-
cause standard would thereby be set
for the country as a whole.
I'm the field of general legislation
relating to these subjects the action
of Congress is necessarily very limit
ed. Still there are certain ways in
which we can act. Thus the Secretary
of the Navy has recommended, with
my cordial and hearty approval, the
enactment of a strong employers liza
bility law in the navy yards of the
nation. 1t should be extended to similar
branches of the government work.
Again, sometimes such laws can be
enacted as an incident to the nations
control cover interstate commerce. In
my last annual message to Congress
l advocated the passage of a law in
reference to car couplings-to strength
en- the features of the one already on
the statute books so as to minimize
the exposure to death and manning
of railway employees. Much opposition
had to be overcome. In the end an
admirable law was passed to promote
the safety of employees and travellers
upon railroads by compelling common
carriers engaged in interstate COM
merce to equip their cars with auto
matte cOuplers and continuous brakes
and their locomotives with driving
wheel brakes This law received my
signature a couple of days before Con-
gress adjourned. 1t represents a real
and substantial advance in an admir-
able kind of legislation"
At the conclusion of the address, the
presidential party was driven to the
Great Northern Depot, and the special
train left for Yankton

READING IN BED.

Receipt Telling How Much Good
Can BE Got Out of 1t.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The doctors will tell you that reading
in bed is a bad practice, and so it is
if you do it in a catch-as-catch-can
way. But done properly and syste-
matically, it is one of the most health
full of exercises, especially for those
sedentarily inclined. 1 myself have
read in bed these many years, and L
believe my fine physical condition is
due as much to this practice as to any
other cause. But l have a carefully
devised system to which 1 adhere with
unremitting persistence.
l never read in bed by gaslight. The
flicker is bad for the eyes, even if the
bracket is located in the right place,
which it seldom is. l prefer Kerosene
lamp, placed on a small table beside
my bed.
After standing my pillow on end to
raise my head to the proper position ]
draw the covers well up and tuck them
closely under my chin. Then 1 insert
my arms in my nightingale" an in
genious device which a feminine friend
recently made to take the place of the
old pair of trousers, or kindred gar
ment, which l formerly used for the
protection of my arms and shoulders.
Now, having arranged myself with
due regard for my health and comfort,
| suddenly remember that l have not
wound the clock. So / undo my sWath-
ings and bounce out of bed.
When / am once more carefully tuck
ed under the covers. l begin to feel an
irresistible desire TO smoke. Somehow,
at this particular time more than at
any other time the pipe seems to be the
fitting companion to the book. So l
hop out of bed again and feel my way
down the dark hall to my study, where
my smoking materials are kept. Vari-
ETY. is lent to this performance accord
ing to the number and character of
articles against which / stub my toes
and bat my shins. But it all acceler-
ates thought and induces a free flow
of language, which is one of the Incl
dental purposes of reading in bed.
Having lighted my pipe and returned
to the adjustment of my pillow and
coverings, / am prepared for the real
enjoyment of nay favorite author. l
take the book from the table q some
times vary this by getting up and go
ing to the library for IT. and open IL
at the particularly interesting chap
ter. Then / find have left my read
ing glasses somewhere, / do not know

Paris, April 6.-Mrs. Horace Porter,
wife of the American ambassador here
died suddenly to-day of congestion of
the lungs, following chills. She return
ed from Switzerland only a few days
ago, after a stay of some weeks there
for her health. Mrs. Porter appeared
much improved in health, but was still
suffering from influenza, which finally
brought on a chill. This in turn de-
veloped into Inflammation of the
lungs. but it was not until to-day that
her condition was regarded as really
serious. Gen. Porter, Mrs. Porters
brother Gen. Winslow, and attend
ing physicians, were at the bedside.
The ambassador is completely pros
trated.

TT is in our interests to cultivate
these sentiments, and we cannot do SO
better than by carrying out obligations
to the Washington government, eHpe-
ditiously, frankly and correctly, wheth-
er it be by granting what we ought to
grant or refusing what we consider
ourselves justified in refusing.
1T is unnecessary to recall the fact
that in the naval station agreement,
which is in the hands of the Senate,
the United States has obtained sites at
Guantanamo and Bahia Honda, after
asking also for Nipe and Cienfuegos.
1t being impossible to elude carrying
out our duty in accordance with the
Plhtt amendment, the executive be-
lieves that the convention has been
made the most favorable possible, and
recommends a speedy appreciation, so
that 1t may be possible to negotiate an
additional agreement to establish the
price of the leases and other condi-
lions and details regulating the pos
session of the stipulated areas of land
and water.
THE government is at present oc-
cupied with the Isles of Pines matter,
and it has reason to hope that the set
tlemen thereof will be satisfactory to
Cuba"
President Palma expresses the hope
that the question of Incorporating in
to the treaty all provisions of the
Platt amendment will soon be settled,
and adds that after this has been done
1t will seem unnecessary that the
Platt amendment should remain any
longer part of the constitution.
President Palma points out that the
cash balance at the treasury amounts
to $2638, 900, and advises that it
should always be kept at $1,50O, 900 to
De prepared for emergencies.

Aberdeen, S. D., April 6.-President
Roosevelt to-day traversed South Da-
kota and made more speeches than
on any other day during his present
trip. He began with two speeches at
Sioux Falls this morning and ended
his twelfth speech this evening at
Aberdeen.
The speeches were confined for the
most part to the tariff, and to the gen.
eral prosperity of the country. In all
his speeches to-day he followed close
~ the lines of his former addresses
on these subjects.
The President was accorded a cor
dial welcome at the stopping places,
and at many stations where the train
did not stop, the crowds gathered and
cheered as the special train sped by.
One feature of the day was the large
number of children in the various au-
diences, and the President referred to
them several times, saying that he
was glad to see that the stock was
not diving out.

AGAINST NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Action Is Begun to Render Pre-
ferred stock Retirement Null and
ViOd.
New York, April 6.-Action against
the Northern Pacific Railway Company
was begun to-day in the United States
Circuit Court to declare null and void
the retirement of the preferred stock
of the road. The plaintiffs are George
C. Hackett and Charles A. Chase of
Philadelphia and the firm of Wolf
Brothers, stock brokers, of this city.
The complaint alleges that the direc-
tors were without legal power or au-
thority to pass the resolution retiring
the stock, and that the attempt to
retire the same was in violation of the
plaintiffs right in the matter. The
complaint alleges holders of common
stock were accorded certain advan-
tages to the exclusion of the preferred
stockholders.
