J. S. Archbell, Thomus J. Monroe and W. A.

We see upon land the re- produced monastery of La Rabida, upon the water the historic caravels, those brave little craft. frail in structure and diminutive in sizo, which yet rode tho waves long enough to penetrate the mystery of the seas, to reconstruct the map of the world and shed upon the gloom of the dark ages the light of & modern c¢ivillzation; those vi sels which brought to our shores the illus- trious navigator who broke the shackles of superstition, calmed the fears of timid men and gave a new world to commerce, to s and to civilization. From the pro in the past, who can tell how fa republic will be 400 years hence from domi- nating the policy of the world. This nation was not born among the fabled tales and mysteries of barbaric ages, but planted fully equipped upon this virgin continent. It has boen woven of the stoutest fibres of other lands and nurtured by a commingling of the best blood of other nations. America has now thrown off tho swaddling ciothes of in- fancy and stands clothed in the robes of majesty and power in which the God who made lier intends that sho shall henceforth tread the carth. ‘Foday she may be seen moving at the head of the procession of the world's events, leadiug civilized and Chris: tianized countries, Shoulder to Shoulder. *Tn the working out of her destiny wo feel assured of the events of this memorable day that Chicago and New York will always be found laboring in common for the nation's @ood. and in all things pertaining to our national prosverity,moving forward with one purpose, stanaing shoulder to shoulder and locking their shiclds together like the men in the Roman phalanx of old. *‘We of New York are proua to find selves today. within the confines of mighty city of the northwest, a city in which busy thoughts and vivid imaginations crowd tho mind, in which no ‘man shapes himself betimes to idleness ;' acity which is not a sepulcher of buried ages, but the birthplace of modern ideas, a city which is: not lighted by the smiles of dying embers, but by the gleam of future elories. Our two cities were contestants for the exposition. Chicago fairly_won_the prize uud todny the people of New York come to greet you with hearts untouched by Jealousy, with souls unmoved by rivalry, to cry out to you with one acclaim ‘God bless Chicago; God speed,the great fair. " Agnes Booth then read the voem ‘“New York to Chicago,” composed by J. L C. Clarke of New York. Chauncey M. Depew. When the features of Chauncey M. Ue- pow were seen a chorus of clheers went up and the distinguished New Yorker was kept bowing and smiling for several minutes be- fore he had a chance to say a word. He said: “Among the most iuteresting and im- portaut incidents of thiz mammoth and marvelous exhibition has been the celebrations, national, state and oivie, While the governments ol Europe are imposing additional burdens on already overburdened people to inc their great military and naval forces, while all the worid outside of the United States i: eithor an armed camp or enguged in hostilities, these emulous and friendly me ings of conflicting races demonstrate the possibil the hopes of the world for ¢ peace.

New York has got 50 big that she hus passed the possi- bility of exhibiting her interest or enthusi- asm. Things happen 1n New York and pass unnoticed which take rank with and earthquakes in other places. time when the press in thi nd abroad was filled with the prodigious growth of the towns of the northwest there was a develop- ment eoing on in real estate west of Central park, which in the increase of population, the cost of doustruetion of buildings, and advancement of value of land was greater than in any three or four of the booming towns of the country. The period of rivalryof cities in the United States has passed. the period of the competition of municlpalities for com- petitive trade has gone by. 1t was possible years ago for one great city, by increasing by liberal appropriations its rail and water communications, to sidetrack arrival. “New York knows that the attractions of gravity and opportunity have made Loudon and Paris, the best products of literature, of the professions, of the arts, of the dramatic and ' of the lyric stage, scek fame and fortune in She knows that she is and e become potentially b center of North ani ity, every thriving cor condition ‘of remarkablo enterpr nursery for New York.

Concluding Exercises. Keller's American Hymn was sung in ex- cellent style by tho great Columbian chorus and vhen Hon. John R. Fellows of New York roso and paid another glowing tribute to Chicagoand the fair. ‘The stirring notes of the **Battle Hymn of the Republic,” the song which first fired the hearts of tighting men over a third of a century ago, rang out. It was o much for the vast audience,which joined in the swinging martial chorus with fervor, Hon, Seth Low, president ot Columbia col- lege, then spoke’ briefly, *My Country, 'tis of Thee” was sung, and the day’s exercises closed with the benediction delivered by Archbishop Corrigan. As the voice of the prelato died away the vast crowd began to scatter, in fact several hundreds of iireverent people began the scattering process while the bishop was speaking. With the last echo of applause following the exercises in Festival hall the throng rushed frantically toward -~ the stock pavilion at the south end of the fair, where the parade formed. In the military display the Old Guard, with o display of gray beards and showy uniforms was the feature.

PROPOSED PROJECT MET WITH FAVOR Mr. Rosewater's Komnarks on the Nuhject Clty Auorney Connell Advances an Opinion-—General Lisoussion on the Question—-No Definite Action. Last night the Commerclal club considered the question of voting $1,500,000 for the con- struction of the Platte river canal, There were present some of the citizens with the most extensive property interests in the city, and the discussion continued uutil mid- night. President Gibbon catled the meeting to order and stated that the object in inviting the ciulzens to attend was to listen to the presentation of facts and a discussion of the proposition as to its feasibility and practica- bility, ana us to whether it would bea finin- cial yenturo that should bo undertaken. The president called upon Mr. S. L. Wiley as representing the canal ccmpany, and who was familiar with the entire macter. . Mr. Wiley read from the reports of the engineers who have passed upon the foasi- bility of the construction of the canal. Don- ald Campbell, one of the engineers, in his r+ port, said that no difficulty would be experi- enced in construction. . He haa checked up the mates of Engineer Howell and found them libe In Mr. Campbell's estimation the enterprise is pronounced a good one, and capuble of o the station in the center of the ity 19,715 horse power, whis at a cost of §160 per horse power deliv cheap. He finds that to bring the Papillion creek will cost less than §72. Mr. J. T. Fanning, another of the hydraulic engineers, in his report to the company. proved of the plans and profiles of linguneer Howell, and recommended the adoption of the routo that lands the power at S&ymour park. i City Engineer Rosewater, who had ex- awined the surveys and plans, was called for. His attention was first called to the scheme some four years ago, when he wont to Kearney to make an examination, Then the guagings he made showed about G0 horse power, or 400 actual delivered. He mentioned the attention directed %o Kear- ney by reason of the canai enterprise, and inquired if 600 horse power would do so much for & town of that size, what would 20,000 or 25,000 horse power do for Omaha. He said the questions to bo determined are wneth the plan is feasible, aud if so is it advi ble for the city o enter into such an ente prise. Mr. Rosewater reiterated the st; ments in his repoct 10 the county comm sioners regarding his investigations of fea bility and his gauging of the Platte viver to determine the flow of thestream. He swered the question as to why the power planted seven miles outside instead of brin, ing it into the city. To do this would r quire the addition of avout fifteen miles, 1ud as the city is 140 feet above the Papillion river it would be impossible to construct the canal withoutan aqueduct three-fourths of a mile long across the Papillion valley, Tnd the viaduct would have to be constructed at the rate of 500 pounds to the square foot, an expensive structure. He regarded it as'im racti le to bring the canal into the city, and no poiut could be found which would furnish a_suitable place and altitude for the planting ot the power. He quoted iust: of the successful transmission of electr| horse power over wires and estimated the loss from the theorctical power by transmission. This travsmission of the power he regarded as practical and reterre success attained by compress and bespoke for that syste edence of all others for power especially when transmission is n Ho entered into an_exhaustive exy of pressed air and its usages and a- tions in other s of this country and Europe.

The total of these, Mr. Kosewater estimated, would make u rato of O per cent on the investment. Mr. Rosowater explained that the freezing of the water would not greatly reduce the flow, and that with proper s: guards against contamination the wls would be suitable for domestic purposes. Mr. Wiley inquired whether a larg nount of horse power could be economically cured than now talked of if such was sub- sequently desired. Mr. Rosewater replied it uid by iwcreasing the capacity of the canal. Mr. Edward Rosewater inquired into the legal problems involved, and inquired of Mr. Counell as to wigt proportion of the funds”could. b deyoted to the plan ae mapped out Mr. Conncll replied that the lezal ques was 1ot to be called up av the mee President Gibbon said o ot conteny the leg sod.

He fuvored the scheme and bel it o be a good one. 1u reply to a ques ion from ) Ir, Congell stated that in his 10 divect authority onstiruction of 4 cal bonds, if voted, couid not be directed to the ruction of a canal in sed, and he did not believe the ould enact laws that would au- bad beon Rosewater, 1 and that the logislatu thorize the same after the bonds voted. Dr. Miller gave a brief history of the in- ception of the canal scheme, and expliinea that it was the grandest scheme ever sug- gosted for Omaha. He told of the visit of the committee from the unewvloyed and the suggestion of members of thit commitioe thut the city construct the canal, aud of the willingness of the company und ‘subsequent tarning over of the pluts, profiles wad all other mutters bearing upon the subject. Dr. Miller suid that this was the first tme the suggestion of the city constructing the canal was mude. Ho stated that in case the city failed to coustruct the canal that the company would do so in tume. The doctor explained thav while the city was not yoring bonds to coustruct i canal, that the munieipal authorities had by ordinauce eated 4 commission. composed of the stockholders of the company, and that to them would be entrusted Lhe construction of tho canal to within ten miles of the city, aund when completed wili be turned over to the city at a consideration of §l. Dr. Miller asserted that be was acting disiuterestedly ; it was his desire Lo see the city progressive aud enterprising, aud that was bis reason for supporting the nal proposition. He predicted that the #inal will be in operation within five years, the city owning its wathr works and electric light plant. Mr. Foppleton's Oppositivn, Mr. W. 5. Poppleton. who 0pposes the provosition, said that the question was nok 10 be looked ot from the point of feusibiliLy, but from o finsucial slandpoint. He read the proposition submitted to the people, and oharacterizéd it as loose and nnfiunflufl. He insisted that the council would not under obligation to construct the canal, and could purchase the plant of either the water works or electrio light companies, If the matter was loft to the commission named, he felt satisfled that every penny would be honestly expended, but ail that would be sary would be for the council to repeal the ordinance creating the commission and get its hands on the money. His chief odb- Jection, as stated, was the placing At the disposal of the city council u sum so vast proposed, with the absence of safeguaras, v vea olution passed by the providing that the board of hail acquire the necessary ground the canal for the city, the $am0 10 be turned over to the city at cost, Mr. C. H. Boggs urged that the propost tion submitted 0 the people should be oxplicit, and the necessary safeguards should bo thrown around the same, and when that is done ho expressed the belief that the bonds would be voted. Mr. B. H. Robison raised th tions regarding the absence of the proposition. Mr. Edward Rosewater said mat Aid same objec- afeguards In that the or was in an unfortunate condition. He ot believe that 1t is possible to do that indirectly which is not directly provided for. He favored the purchase of the water works plant as soon as possible, He showed that §1,500,000 would not purchase the water wor under foreclosure, as it now stands. I'han there would be left the one and one-half miltion of dollars, and it would be preposter- ous to think of paying that amount for an electric light plant. Mr. Rosewater said that he was in favor of the canal, and would subport a proposition o vote £.000,000 it there was assurance that that amount would construct the canal and be eco- nomically directed for that purpose. He did not believe the bonds could be devoted to the construct’on of the canal if voted under the present proposition, and in his judgment what is needed is legislation, which he be- could be sccuired in January as he special session of the legisla- time. Mr. Rosewater and Mr. Poppleton insisted that e safeguard should be provided wlien 0 vast a sum of mouney is placed in the hands of the councit to prevent jobbery. Dr. Miller defended former councils and thought they were free from jobbery or cor- ruption. Tne m ting adjourned without an expres- sion of sutiment from those present.
