INVESTING IN CANADA.
New Workers Have Put $50,000,000 Into
Canadian Electricity.

New York. Dec. 31.-New York men
have now acquired control of the great
er electric power plants of the United
States and Canada. says the Herald.
According to the census the total
electric power in America in 1900 was
311,016 horse power. Great additions
have been made since. The additions
on the American side of Niagara Falls
are $4,000 and $1,000 horsepower plants,
to be installed as fast as each 5000
horse-power unit is completed, prob
ably by next August. On the Canadian
side. 0O-horse- power is in process
of construction for 1904 by one COM
pany At Sault Ste Marie, Mich, 81
900 additional horsepower has just
been turned on.
At Niagara Falls the financial sup
port of the Niagara Falls Power and
the Canadian Niagara Power Co. is
Furnished by New York capitalists.
At the 500 the MichiganL Lake Su-
perior Power Co.. with $1,000 horse
power on the Michigan side, and the
Al2oma Commercial Co.. Limited, with
20000-hOrse-power on the Ontario side,
are owned by New York men.
The Great Falls. Mont, Electric Pow
err Co. is backed by j. P. Morgan and
James J. Hill.
In California the longest electric
transmission system in the world is
largely financed by a New York capt.
talist. ard the Pixies Peak Power Co
of Colorado. is largely owned by New
Workers.
In addition there are upwards of sc
electric power plants, operated by tur-
bine water wheels, having total OF
1900 miles in circuit in which New
York has heavy financial interests. Ar
estimate of $5O,OOO,OOO is believed to be
the minimum of New York's cash in
vestment in electric power plants.

murder of Miss Agnes McPhee OF

WE ACCEPT SILVER. !
United States Believes China Unable to
Pay in Gold.

Washington Dec. 31.-The state depart
ment has been officially advised through
it's fiscal agents in China that the second
instalment of the Chinese indemnity fund
which falls due tomorrow, must be paid
in silver or rather on silver basis. The
first instalment of the indemnity, which
was due, July last, was likewise pad
on silver basis, the nations receiving
the money reserving the right to reclaim,
the difference between silver and gold
basis. Therefore tomorrow the depart
ment will have placed to its credit $685.
COS, for it has without hesitation decided
to accept the payment on the basis pro
posed.
Some idea of the extra charge thai
would be imposed on China did she yielo
to the almost general demand of the pow
ers for payment of these indemnities on :,
gold basis may be gathered from the fact
that whereas the Chinese tael, which vas
the basis Of the calculation of the indebt
edness, was worth "A cents at the tlInt
the agreement was signed in Pekin, is
now worth only 81 cents. The impression
prevails here among persons who have
taken part in these settlements that liz
indemnities demanded by the powers. ar,
far beyond China S ability to pay. '
