GREAT RESERVOIR INCREASES
AREA OF SUGAR CULTIVATION
Nile Dam at Assauan Completed
Stands at the Head of Human
Achievements Land Will Bear
Two Crops a Year.
Cairo, Dec. 10. The completion of
the great Nile dam was celebrated at
Assouan today with great ceremoni
ous pageantry, in the presence of the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught, who
appeared on behalf of King Edward
VII., the khedlve and delegates from
cities tnrougnout Egypt. The cere
mony ot inauguration, which was per
formed by the Duke of Connaught
consisted in laying the last coping
stone and opening a number of sluices
to let tho water flow down the Nile,
Following the ceremonies the ducal
party and other guests left by special
boat for Asslout to Inspect the sup
plementary dam which has been built
at that point.
Today's ceremonies at Assouan
mark tho completion of the greatest
work of the kind ever attempted. As
a triumph of engineering the Assou
an dam stands perhaps at the head of
human achievements. The dam Is
l'i miles long. It is pierced by 180
openings, 23 feet high and seven feet
wide, which have steel sluice gates
Ther supplementary dam at Asslout, a
few miles up the river, is intended as
a reinforcement of the great dam to
resist the force of tho spring floods
and restrain them in a local reser
voir capable of Btorlng more than 1,-
000,000,000 cubic feet of water. The
Irrigation works supplied by this great
reservoir will enable wide tracts of
land to bear two crops a year instead
ot one, will bring waste districts Into
tillage, and will greatly Increase the
area of sugar cultivation. The work
ot construction was performed by the
English firm of John AIrd & Company
and It Is estimated that the total cost
will amount to a little over $25,000,
000.

They quarreled, and the mother laid
a footbath full of scalding water she

Minister Bowen Calls Upon Venezuela to Release the Prisoners War
ship Boliver Captured at Port of Spain Customs Houses of Laguayra
Seized.
London, Dec. 10. Thc Venezuelan
question was brought up In the house
of commons today.
When Kier Hardie asked the gov
ernment to make known the cause of
the coercive measures against that re
public, Under Secretary Cranbourne
said the details would be disclosed In
the papers as soon as they would be
submitted.
Among other matters, he said were
the unjustifiable Interference with
British trading vessels and the im
prisonment and ill treatment of Brit
ish subjects, seizure and destruction
of the property of British subjects.
He said the ministers of both coun
tries simply followed instructions,
which were that unless concessions
were made forcible action would be
tesorted to.
The seizure of Venzuelari war ships
It might he added, was probably true,
but the government had no advices
detailing tho arrest and imprisonment
of 200 British and German subjects at
Caracas. They were arrested yester
day, but the government was able to
secure the release of most of them.
They were now working to effect tho
freedom of tho remainder.
Safe From Mob8 In Jail.
While England and Germany will
not walvo damago rights for tho ar
rest of their subjects at Carracus,
they aro pleased at the occurrence,
as it obviates tho possibility of mobs
getting beyond control and attacking
the citizens.
Customs Houses Seized.
Washington. Dec. 10. The stato de
partment this afternoon received a
cablegram from Minister Bowen,
stating that the German and British
forces had seized the customs

He gave a graphic description of
how he was injured many times in
the mines. He said that one of his
legs was no better than a wooden one;
he had only one eye, his hands had
been crushed, ribs broken and skull
fractured. The company gave him
nothing until alter the employes took
up a collection for him, then he was
given $50 after being on the Injured

In answer to other questions, he
said he was one ot tho 13 evicted by
tho Markle company. The only rent
he owed was for the months during

whose methods caused a murmur of

that it was a matter of educating tho
managers and owners of big proper

further said that each side should bo
