Spcct.il to tho Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. Feb. 21. The top!c of the tlay'3 discussion in the State Conlerence of Charities and Corrections was "Reformatory Work." ami was opened by Prof. Thomas J. Charlton, superintendent of the State Reform School for Roys. Speaking on the necessity of manual training In all schools he deprecated the fact that there were enrolled In the public schools of Indiana more than a half million children for Whose Industrial education, outside of Indianapolis, the schools are doing nothing. Miss Sarah Keeley, superintendent of the Reform School for Women anl Girls, spoke of the work cf that institution, as did Miss Laura Ream from the standpoint of a State trustee. Ex-Judge Mack, of this city, maile things lively for a time this morning when ho enured Into a discussion of the shortcoming of the reform prisons of the State. He charged that girls who went to the reform school became corrup by association. Mrs. Charles M. "Walker, president of the board, had Just said: "A STlrl who had been at the reform school is expected to be perfection In every sense while we do not expect that much from our children." When Judge Mack made his assertion, there was a feeling that he had been too pointed in his comments. Rev. R. V. Hunter, formerly of Indianapolis, said no one had a right to make such a broad attack. Mrs. Walker and Miss 'Keeley followed In defense of the Institution, the latter saying: "We turn out many good girls, and few of them are very bad. The bad ones you hear of, but the good ones disappear and find their own homes." It was decided to hold the next conference the third week in April. l&a.. at Fort Wayne. guamj lodge a. o: r. iv. iirnntl Oflleer Kleeted Meet Next Year nt South Henri.

Case Before the Supreme Court Involving Enforcement of a French Decree. WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. It is said by the legal authorities about the Supreme Court that the status of the contention between Prince and Princess Colonna may bs materially affected by a case soon to be heard before the court. The differences between the Prince and Princess have rec:ntly attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic, and have been intensified by the Princess's escape with her children from France to this country, in spite of a decree in the French courts giving the custody of the children to the Prince. The case soon to be heard in the United States Supremo Court Is a to the extent to which the judgment of a French court can be enforced in the United States. The case Involves a Judgment for about $400,000 given by the - French courts against Hilton, . Hughes & Co., of New York. The French Judgment Is being contested on the ground that the cas2 should have been tried in thL. country, where the American defendants could have received a full and fair Jury hearing. It has also be?n urged that French courts give no recognition to the decrees or judgments of American courts, and tfcat if an American wants redress in Franco. he must go to France to get It. Should the Supreme Court sustain the French judgment, it is said that the precedent will be established governing the Colonna case and other international litigations. Prince Colonna has the decree of a French court favorable to Ms custody of the Colonna children, but the Princess has removed the children from the Jurisdiction of the French court. If, however, the precedent Is established that foreign decrees can b certified to the court3 of this country, and th;n enforced. It would permit th French decree as to the Colonna children to be given effect in this country. It is said that this Is only one of a number of cases Involving International domestic entanglements which would be affected by a ruling favorable to enforcing the judgments and decrees of foreign courts. 31ISS POLLARD'S AGE.

The rebsl cruiser Ar;uldaban left the bay at 4 o'clock this morning in order to join the rebel war ship Republlca, having on board, according to report. Admiral De Mello, and which was then said to be at the entrance to the bay. The Aquldaban got under way during the darkness, and at a speed of eight knots she steamed through the channel and toward the harbor entrance, as if no such things as torpedoes and submarine mines were in existence. When nearing the forts at the entrance of the bay the rebel ship was discovered and, the garrisons being called to arms, a hot fire was soon directed upon her. Rut the Aquldaban steamed steadily ahead and succeeded in passing the forts, although she was struck several times. The forts kept on firing at the Aquldaban until she was out of range, but it Is not believed that any serious damage was Inflicted upon hsr. When some distance from shore the Aquldaban met her consort, the Republlca, and both vessels steamed in a southerly direction. It is reported ashore that the two war ships have Ktne In search of the Nlctheroy, and that the latter is not far off. It is understood that an American hip nnd one or mora foreign vessels are to follow the Aquldaban and Republlca in order to witness the engagement between these vessels and the dynamite cruiser. According to one story, the Nlctheroy Is bound for Desterro. According to another story she is off Santos. The Armacao batteries which were destroyed by the rebels during the battle of Feb. 9, when the governm-nt lost, it now appears, over seven hundred men, have. been restored.

The Insurgent war ship Republlca, with Admiral De Mello aboard, attempted to reenter Rio bay to-night, but was prevented by the heavy fire of the forts. Yellow fever is rapidly spreading here and hundreds of deaths from the disease are reported daily. Three officers of the government army at Santos, who were suspected of treason, have been shot. The authorities are compelling foreigners to perform military service. The foreign consuls have lodged with the government energetic protests against its action. ArrcNtH of AnurclilNt.

When the Republicans elected Jackson Stat treasurer last fall by a plurality of lCS.l-M, it was believed that this would serve as the hishwater mark for years to come. Before the election It publican leaders said they would be satisfied If they could show up lOO.eoO votes to the good, whUe the Democratic leaders, who made an active campaign, were confident that the Republican plurality could be kept below SO.OeO.

Confession of Four Witnesses Who Perjured Themselves for tho Swindler. JACKSON, Tenn., Feb. 21. The federal grand jury to-day found Indictments against Gleason, Rrockway, Hcatley and Smith, the four witnesses held here charged with petJury in the late Howard case. The young men were taken from the jail and brought into court this afternoon. They all confessed their guilt, and their testimony created quite a sensation. They tsld the whole story of how they were taken In by Howard. Heatley first testified. He ald he met Rrockway at the St. Clair Hotel to confer with him in regard to an advertisement in a New York newspaper for clerks to go South. Rrockway had been previously pppointed by Howard to confer with all applicants for the position. Subsequently he met Howard. He told him that he desired the services of four young men to assist hint in his law olflce in Memphis, and that he would pay $7 per week for such service. Heatley accepted his proposition, and not until he reached Grand Junction did he hear of Jackson. Heatley said further that Howard wanted him to testify to the location of Raj' Waters road, Nottinhill, London, and to describe William Lord Moore; al to swear that he worked for him. The startling feature of Heatley's testimony was that he was in constant fear of Howard, lest he would take his life. Howard remarked several times that he would kill any one vho would attempt to interfere with his business, at the same time producing a revolver. These threats intimidated tht young men into servile obedience. LOXINO EXIIMMIUX. Boston Spirts Entertained by Many Three-Round "Mills." ROSTON, Feb. 21.

NIAGARA HARNESSED

Electric Power ofctlie Groat Falls About to Be Utilized. An Enormous Plant Which Will JDistribute the iSnbtle Current to Towns Throughout New York State. New York Evening Post. Buffalo and Niagara Falls have been disputing a bit lately as to which shall b? known as "The Electric City," but there is an interesting fact, not generally known, that ought to settle the question long before time has bad a chance to put an end to it by making the two cities one. That fact Is that the great tunnel which was first put in use at Niagara Falls on the 2oth of last month, and the main wheel pit. now nearly ready for use, will not be employed in creating electricity for the city of Niagara Falls, except In small quantities for Incidental use in manufacturng processes. The New York capitalists who have put between $3,0eyj00 and already Jd.OXVXW greatest Into this enterprise, by far the rower plant ever built, and involving the most interesting and significant experiment in electricity ever tried, have not been free to talk about it, and the result has been the circulation of a surprising amount of misinformation on the subject. For instance, it has been asserted persistently at Niagara Falls, until recently, at least, that all the electricity generated there would be used there, and the statement made at the beginning of this article will probably cause surprise. As the early distribution of electricity from the falls to cities at a distance deiends on this point, it would be well to make It plain to begin with. The present tunnel, on which 200 to 1,500 men were employed nearly three years, and v. h!ch is more than a mile and a quarter long 7.000 feet, if one has a taste for figures will carry the water required to generate lCkj.OOO horse-iower. When the tunnel is used to its full capacity, about 0,000 horse-power will be created for the use of mills at Niagara Falls, but it will be chklly water power, not electric power. The other r0,000 will be transformed into electricity In the iower house, cn which the finishing touches are now being laid, and will be distributed in Buffalo, twenty miles away, and probably in other cities and towns of western New York. Buffalo already has a contract for a minimum of 10.000 horse power, and companies have been formed to take power Iron the falls in Rochester, Syracuse, Schenectady. Albany and other cities and distribute It to local concerns as soon as it can Ik? sent from the original source. A company has also been formed by Thomas C. Platt and others to try the lower on canal trolley. There is nothing In the contracts binding the parent power company to supply power at any stated time, but tha prospects are said by members of the company to be that most of the mill-wheels in western New York will be run by Niagara Falls in two years. The main wheel pit at Niagara Falls and the electrical machinery and turbines now being prepared for It at a total cost of about sl.Ocu.Oud are almost solely for the distribution of power by electricity outside of the city of Niagara Falls. Tne water power for local consumption will be created In smaller pits, like tnat of the Niagara Paper Company, already in u?e, which will be sunk along the tunnel to suit tenants. The fifty thousand horse power which It is expected will be generated evenutually by the turbines in these pits, i3 a3 much a3 is used at present by the entire city of Ruffalo with its SiXi.OOO inhabitants. But most of the?e plans are fcr the future. The beginning of the production of water power for local use was made two weeks ago, and the beginning of the production of electric power for" distribution abroad will be made' on the 1st of June next, if the great dynamos now being built by the Wesingthouse company in Philadelphia are ready In time. Only flfteen-thou-san!;-horse-power is to be transformed Into electricity at first, and it Is the intention to send nearly all of this to Buffalo. Ho.v much water power will be generated outside of the main wheel pit this year will depend on the mills 'which are to be buiit at the head of the falls tunnel. It is known tnat M least four large concerns have contracted for power and are about to erect mills there. TRANSMISSION RY WIRll It was expected at first to transmit the electric current in a subway, but a conduit built a third of a mile as an experiment proved too expensive, and it has been decided "to send the current along wires carried on poles, although better devices than any at present in use will be required to ln3urethe safety and certainty of a current of this magnitude. Mr. Edmund Hayes, president of the Buffalo company, which Is to' distribute the electricity, says he expects power will be ready for use In this city before the end of the year. But the most interesting part of the enterprise, in the eyes of the manufacturers the price of powerhas not yet been definitely determined, and cannot be until It is known how much electricity will be lost in the transmission and in changing the current back to motive force. It is estimated that power can be sent to any city in the SUto at a cost of not more than $13 or $14 a year ier horso power, twenty-four hours In the dav. and that the cost of power delivered at the city line in Buffalo will not be more than $12., This, however, does not take into account the cost of local distribution in each cily1 and the lo?s of transforming the electrieity.i Skeptical manufacturers say the ultimate cc.n or tne electricity will be zs reat as steam, which they can- produce in large quantities at the rate of i'2j a year per horse power, twelve hours in the day. Dr. Col man Sellers, president of the Niagara l'.u's Power Company, and one of the inott distinguished engineers In the country, says they can do nothing of the sort.und that their mistake arises from failure to take into consideration all the faerors of cost In the production of steam power. Although the production and tran.smIs-j.ion over lonpr distances of a ..unent s: large as that to be generated at Niagara has never been attempted belo.v, and is. therefore, an uncertain undertaking, the be.n engineers and electricians of Europe and America have marie the plans for it, and are confident that in time in less than a -decade -power from the falls can be sent fven a3 far as a thousand miles In every direction without loss sufficient to bring the price up to that of steam. Nikola Tesla even went so far as to say: "The current from Niagara Falls can be taken as far as New York city without any great Joss, and I believe that before long we will be able to take it to any distance." The general confusion of the Niagara Falls Tower Company's huge experiment in the production of electricity for transmission to a dirtar.ee. and its slrt;ple and certain means of producing water power for local uso, has led to the supposition that the opening of the tunnel on Jan. 25, and the .successful generation of 2.0') horse power In the turbines of the largest paper mill in the world, were the final tests and were of great scientino significance. Editorial artic.es apparently based on this supposition have been printed in newspapers from one end of the country to the other, but It will be sepn that the real test will come when the dynamo3 ' are set to whirring .some four months hence. a o.ii ictiiurt; kjl ihv ar rangements for producing water power at Niagara Falls is the scale on which they are made. They are easily explained. The power plant is situated at the head of the tunnel, a miie and a half up the river from the American fall. An inlet canal leads up and back from the river two thousand feet, and alonjr the sides of this canal are massive sto::e gateways, some of which already lead, ani others will lead, to wheelpits down which the water from the canal will be carried through steel pipes called penstocks, some of them seven feet in diameter, into turbine wheels at tho bottom of the pits, and thence on through passage ways connecting the bottom of each pit with the main tunnel which carries the water directly underneath the busiest pirt of the city, at, an average? depth of' two hundred feet, to the rortal, one thousand feet below thr, American falls, ;'.nd almost underneath the- new suspension bridge. Th'"! tiinnel is shaped Pke a horseshoe, being IS feet and 10 inches wide at the broadest: part, and 11 feet and inches wide at the bottom. It is 21 f.et high, and has a downward pitch varying from four to seven feet In one thousand. It i i!n-d at the lower end with heavy sle d platfs. c.r. l the rest of the way with from four to six tines of brick especially pn oared ta withstand the wear and tear of tne water for man:-' generations to come. Enough limestone rock was dug out of th tunnel to ::ia!'e rome twenty acres of m-w lc.r.d worth at bast $.".va an acr. al-jg the snore or ire .Niagara. item in ine t on 5: ruction of the tunnel and tlt way that it cost, in all, mini whe?l-twenty-sevt-n lives.

This pit. deep, 21 feet wide and 110 feet long, and is lined witn heavy masonry. It has been practically completed for several munns. In fact, everything is ready except the dynamos, and there la some prospect that these may be ready even before the 1st of June. If nothing ls done towards stringing the wires to Buffalo until the dynamos are tested it will be about four months later before the iower can be delivered to the local distributing rou'ttanv. The future of the city of Niagara Falls Is assured, for it rests on no experiment with an unknown quantity. The generation of water powr has be?n shown to be a certainty, and if the well-'al l schemes for el?trical distribution "gang, a-gley," tho main wheel pit can be used for the generation of pawer for local consumption. But the plans of engineers of international fame, such men as Sir William Thomson (now lord Kelvin). Prof. Unwln. of lonlon. Colonel Turretlnl, of Geneva, Switzerland; Professor Mascart, of Paris; Mr. Clemens Herschel, Ma. George K. Buri-ank anl kr. Coleman Sellers, can hardly fall. These plans have in view a iover plant which may be very properly called stupendous, and of which the present work is but the comparatively bumble beginning. It is proposed to take W!0 horsepower from the great cataract and send It broadcast to turn mill wheels, licht streets and supply heat in so many cities and at such a distance that even to specify them makes one feel as If he were laying himself open to the charge of being a visdonary. , . Rights already have been secured for another lW.O1) horse jower tunnel on the American sld?, and also for two tunnels on the Canadian side, each to carry away1 the water required to generate 12T.0 horse power. These tunnels wee nru phmncd to exist only on paper, for th-1 Cataract Construction Company is under contiact to produce power on the Canada side In less than three years, nnd is now paving r?nt for the privilege. Work will b? begun on the nr-t cf these Canadian tunnels as soan as the demand for power fr.m th? Arnerlican plant warrants the undertaking, and it Is considered likely that rround will be broken some time next year. The conditions on tha Canadian s'.da are much more advantageous than on this sld and the first tunnel to b? built there will have to be scarcely more than four hundred feet long. It is expected that the power house will be built at too brink of the horse-r-hoe ff.l!. at the foot of the blnff directly below Falls View Station. The tunnel will extend from underneath the Eower house to a point Just below th2 orse-shoe fall. It will be seen that the total amount of horse power which it Is planned to generate eventually H 4-"o.0f0. an amount which can be better appreciated when it 5.-'. considered that the total horse power iw used for oven' purpose In the State of New York is . t .

DEATH FK0M GLANDERS. A Woman Contracts (lip Disease from a Horse That Sneezed In Her Face. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 21. Mrs. Sophia Beresford, wife of a prosperous drayman, died last night of glanders. Four weeks ago the woman's husband unwittingly purchased a diseased horse for the family to drive. A few day3 later while Mrs. Beresford was standing near the horse's bead, the animal sneezed' in her face. Soon afterward she was stricken with chills and pains, swelling of the forehead. She finally became so bad that she was removed to the hospital and there the true nature of the disease was discovered. The whole upjvr portion of the woman's face ,'as taten away by the disease. The husbund and children have also been exposed and their condition is being clos-eiy watched. The health authorities killed the hcrse and will cause the arrest of the traders who roid it to Bercsfcrd at a price that was ridiculously low. TOTAL RECEIPTS $2o, 105,157.
