AS the Mayflowef anchored every

salute of 81 guns The secretary of
the navy and his staff went on board
the Mayflower and at the same time
the presidents flag was hauled down
from the yacht. Then the Mayflower

anchored. AS the presidents yacht
anchored, the presidential flag was
again broken out and as it was car

Meyer returned to the Mayflower, at

Alfred Parrish, an American, Tells
in New York Of His Plans to
Develop Electricity in
Old Country.
HARNESS EBRo RIVER
Caught Many Ideas From the keokuk
Development and Has Employed
an American Engineer to
Make Alterations.

NEW YORK, Oct. ian Ameri-
can who has lived the greater part OF
forty years in Europe, and who now
lives in Rome, Italy, and is getting
ready to build big hydro-electric
plant near Barcelona, Spain arrived
a few days ago at the Wolcott In the
person of Alfred Parrish. Mr.. Parrish
has been taking look at the Mis-
sissippi dam at Keokuk, Ia, and he Is
so impressed with the way the work
has been done out there that he Is
taking an American engineer to Spain
to make alterations in the plans for
the dams to be constructed there, and
to supervise their construction.
II have been interested for many
years in introducing street railways
in Europe" said Mr.. Parrish, first in
the old ho-se-car days and afterward
when the electric street car came
along. Lately | have been attracted
to the question of hydro-electric pow
er. I have been connected with the
street railways in Barcelona for some
time, and knowing the country there
abouts and seeing what has been
done In this sort of development has
made me realize that there is the I'm
est water power in the world, bar
none. in the river Ebro. Sites exist
all along the river where it comes
through the coast range of mountains
to the rolling plains of Aragon.
Great Work Contemplated.
I'VE shall put up three dams, with
an estimate ability to supply 100000
horse power This trip of mine wa;
undertaken mainly to look at the Mis-
sissippi dam and one at the Susque
hanna The former, which I hay,
just visited, is a marvel of accom-
plishment. The conditi, ms to overcomt
are similar to those that confront US a
Barcelona, in some respects. Gu
sites are near Barcelona, Tara goni
and Valencia, besides four or fv
smaller cities. We expect to com
plete the work by the summer of 1871
though considering the rate at whic
the work has been pushed on the Mis-
sissippi dam, we may beat that time.
