At 0 o'clock this morning wator was turnod Into tho (33, 000,000 draiuago canal and began to How toward Lookport, where it will fall into tho Dos Plaiuoi rivor, and theuco through tho Illinois nnd Missis sippi rivers to tho Gulf. What is termed by canal engiucors tho collat eral channol has been, for some timo, coinploted from Chicago river in tha southwestern p.irt of tho city to within. 15 foot of tho main channel of tha canal. This 15-foot wall of earth, with two sluico gates behind it, hns been nil that kopt tho Chicago river aud Lnko Michigan out of tho canal. At 10 o'clock Monday n steam dredge began to cut away this wall of earth,. aud n fow minutes before 9 o'clock to day tho water iu tho collateral channel was against tho sluico gates, and only n few inches of timber remained to b removed boforo Chicago was to roaliza hor dream of years and seo tho groat canal in actual oporatiou. When tha water began to back up against tha sluico gates, tho timbers were knocked away, and tho first wator from tho Chi cago rivor ran into tho canal. Kuglncor of tho sanitary district hnvo out n channel to carry 1100, ()0t cubic foot of wator per niinuto into tho empty canal. This would bo liko the bursting of a reservoir, and would tear nwny ovory bridge over tho canal nnJ wreck the cntrolllng works nt Look ort. Therefore, tho wuter will bo turned In gradually. Probably u week will elapse before the canal is full ol wator and is currying away tho sewage that now Hows into tho Chicago river. An occasion that might havo beon one of tho most memorable in the eventful history of Chicago was allowed to pass by unimproved because the trustees of tho sanitary district worn intent on their own groat itim the opening of tho canal. Aside from the trustees and engineers of tho board,, there wore loss than u dozen spectators present. PITCHER'S EXPLOIT. HurirUnit thu llottr mill 1'urly l'rNouort. Oiipturad London, Jan. 4.
