Austro-Hu- ngarian, ' Falls rower company turned the switch In the main power house of the company connecting the monster 5,000-hors- e power dynamos with the transformers in the transformer house, which are in turn connected directly with the Buffalo Tower Transmission line, and at that instant the electric power of Niagara was for the first time sent out beyound the confines of the city and direct to Buffalo, a distance of some twenty-tw- o miles. It was the grand finale in the power transmission to Buffalo, and It was a success in every sense of the word. The transformers and line has been previously tested by Mr. 1. It. Edmonds of the General Electric company, and, on being found satisfactory and in perfect condition, were turned over to Mr. W. A. Brackenridge, the engineer of the company. Mr. Rankine then went to the main power house and threw the switch. The first installment, sent out in a block of 1,000-hors-e power, is for use of the Buffalo street railway. The miles transmission line is twenty-twlong, 4,000 feet of which are underground, and the cables along which the power is conducted are 1,000,000 circular mills capacity. There are two transformers at this end, each of 1,250-hors- e power, the largest in the world, and three at the Buffalo end of 300 and power. Reaching Buffalo, the current goes " into the transformer, which reduces it from 11.000 to 320 volts, and then to the rotary transformer, which changes it into a direct current, in which form it is ready for use on the street cars. The lightning arrester is a very curious device, and is so arranged that if the wire is struck by lightning the current is shunted off to the ground Instead of being allowed to pass through the transformer. The current will )e kept on now continually. The problem of the loss In course of trausmission of the twenty-twmiles is one which has puzzled many of the leading electricians, but it is thought the appliances, etc., in the plant will make the loss small and the transmission commercially possible. Seattle Cut off From the Eaat by Fioo U and Storm. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 16. Seattle is completely cut off from communion tion by rail with the outside world On the two transcontinental lines run ning into this city not a train, freight or passenger, has arrived or departel hours. This rewithin forty-eigmarkable state of affairs is due to floods and storms. It has rained al most Incessantly for ten days. Rivers and small streams are swollen beyond their banks and in many the water K still rising. Reports from the southern part of the state are that Cowlitz river has risen above the highest water mark in its history, and that Castle Rock, a town of 500 inhabitants In Cowlitz county, Is entirely covered by water from one to three feet deep. All that portion of the Great North ern system from the Cascades west, in eluding the coast line, is paralyzed. On the coast line about three quarters of a mile of track has been washed out, and other serious damage has resulted in the Cascades, where the rain Skyhomish river four timet within a distance of two miles. Two railroad bridges are washed out in this locality, and much trackage is inundated where the roadbed follows the river. The railroad bridge over White river has been condemned as unsafe, owing to high waters, which are expected to sweep away the structure at any moment and this has shut off communication with the Northern Pacific, and likewise stopped traffic on the Columbia and Puget Sound railroad. Owing to the great landslide the Seattle & International, connecting with the Canadian Pacific, has been at a standstill for fifteen hours. The Northern Pacific is sending passengers ro-daby boat to Tacoma, where connection may be made with Portland. For several days all wires on i ,e Great Northern have been down, but last evening one wire Was got into operation again. No estimate of damage to the railroads property can be obtained now, but on the Great Northern alone it will amount to many thousands of dollars.

Judge Woods of the United States Circuit court last evening appointed a receiver for the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railway company, known as tiie Vandalia, naming as receiver Volney T. Malott, president of the Indiana National hank. The receiver was appointed upon the suit of Mark T. Cox, James T. ltlalr and Janies W. Paul, Jr., against the company and the ground for receivership was the admission of the company in court that il Is insolvent. The Vandalia has been known as one of the most prosperous railroads in the country until a year ago, when It passed Into the control of the Pennsylvania company, which purchased a majority of Its stock. It met Its dividends and all charges with the utmost promptness. During the hearing Judge Woods remarked In court upou the peculiar fact that all three attorneys seemed to desire a receiver and he did not make up his mind to appoint one until the evening. Some of the parties Interested in the securities of the system who were not made parties in Interest were declaring last night that the suit is a collusive one for tiie purpose of freezing 'them out and selling tiie system to the Pennsylvania at a low figure.

CLEVELAND IS HAPPY. Thinks the Republican Victory Vindicated Him. Washington, Nov. 14. In conversation with friends recently President Cleveland assumed that tiie result of the election was an indorsement and justification 'of ills policy and administration. Never before has a president found similar significance and satisfaction in the success of the candidate of the opposition party, but he argues that free coinage was the only issue before the people, and that the Republican platform represented his views quite as much as those of Major McKinley and the financial principles he has endeavored to maintain. On the other hand the platform of Ills own party, which advocated the opposite system of finance and was laden with both implied and direct censure of liis official acts was repudiated by the people by a majority of more than 1,000,000 votes. His administration was attacked by almost every Democratic speaker on the stump; he was denounced, condemned and criticised quite as freely and frequently as Major McKinley, and in some parts of the country even more so, but it had no effect upon the majority of people, and considers that they have indorsed him. 1 1 |
