Located in Wild Region of the State | and Creates an Enormous Reservoir. The completion of the Shoshone dam in Wyoming, the highest in the world, is announced by the reclamation service as having; occurred at li a.m. Sundav. January 16. This structure has a total height from base to parapet of 32S.4 feet. It Is located in the profound canyon of tiie Shoshone river. In one of the wild est and most picturesque regions of north ern Wyoming. The walls of the gorge are nearly perpendicular and rise nearly 2.000 feet above the stream. At Its base the Shoshone dam is 70 feet across; on top it Is 175 feet in length, and on the bottom the dam is 10S feet wide. The contract was let for this structure September 18, 19f>5, to Prendergast & Clarkson of Chicago for $515,730. The contractors defaulted in August, 15(06, and the work wa? then taken up by the surety, the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company of Baltimore, which iias finally completed the structure. Surface Area Ten Square Miles. The Shoshone dam creates an enormous reservoir with a surface area of ten square miles and an average depth of seventy feet. Its capacity expressed in gallons is 148,5.88,512.000. The work of construction has been attended with dif ficulty and danger from the beginning. Its location is in a section which was inaccessible until the government exca vated an expensive road into the canyon, many miles of which were cut from the solid rock. The purpose of this structure is to con trol for all times the groat floods of the Shoshone river and to provide an ample water supply for the irrigation of more than 100,000 acres of exceptionally fer tile land in the valley below. A portion of this land: is now available for settlers under the terms of the reclamation act. IN GUISE OF SAILORS. Aliens Coming to United States Con trary to Law. Fully a^rare that aliens in the guise of sailors ^-e coming into the United States fraudulently, the immigration officials are unable to prevent such practice. Petty officers of transatlantic vessels permit the enlistment of foreigners and when they reach American shores they are given shore leave. Desertion fol lows and the aliens remain. The sub ject will "soon be brought to the atten tion of Congress with a view to remedial legislation. An effective remedy for the practice, it is said, would be to subject seamen to the pro\ islons- of the immigration laws, and to require them to have jdocumental proof that they are American citizens be fore allowing shore leave. By the decision of the Supreme Court a year ago in the case of the United States against Taylor the service, it was stated, received a damaging blow which was partly responsible for existing con ditions. The court held in that case that the immigration laws were not intended to apply to aliens engaged bona fide as sailors on transoceanic vessels, that it was a maritime custom to permit sailors shore leave and that the master had no idea when this was granted that the man intended to desert.

IN EFFECT WITH NEW YEAR; Number of Native Councils Are Largely Increased. UNREST J)UE TO EDUCATION Movement for Self-Government Similar to Uprisings in Rus sia and Turkey. BY WII.r.lAM K. CURTIS. Written for Th?> St:ir nn<1 the Chicago Uocorii Hrral<l. The British government in India has just passed throngli an alarming crisis which excited the gravest apprehensions, and to allay the unrest uj" the native population has granted a comparatively liberal degree of self-government which took effect at the New Year. As de scribed by the viceroy in his official an nouncements, "the concessions involve constitutional changes of no small mag nitude, and the governor general in coun cil feels that they constitute a generous fulfillment of the gracious intention Tore shadowed in the king-emperor's message to intrust to the leaders of the Tndian peoples a greater share in legislation and government, and he looks forward with confidence that these extensive powers will be loyally and wisely used by them in association with the holders of execu tive authority, to promote the prosperity anl contentment of all classes of the in habitants of this jrreat country." The unrest in Tndia is due to the same causes that have produced similar con ditions in Russia. Turkey and Persia? an awakening of the consciousness of the population to the fact that they are not allowed to participate either in the fram ing or the enforcement of ill? laws by which they ate governed. This awaken ing is caused by education, to the ac quirement of knowledge which has en abled the people to reason among them selves concerning their rights and the extent to which they have heen deprived of them. The same is true in Turkey and Persia, where education has produced the same inquiry, the same consciousness and the same desire for self-government. It Is the inevitable result of education and the American missionaries, by their schools in Turkey, in Persia and in India, have in a larse measure been responsible indirectly for the unrest and for the concessions which have been made to trar.quillze the people. The British Policy. The policy of the British government in India has been to perpetuate the power and authority of the native princes under the supervision of English "resident-?," or official advisers, who are the power be hind the throne. It has been considered best to keep the natives in the same con dition in <Vhich they have been livitiK and to avoid all interference with their habits, customs and particularly their re ligion. The terrible mutiny of 1857 was due to British contempt for the laws of caste and other sacred traditions of the Brahmins, and that taught a lesson which has been impressed upon every of ficial in the empire that the native ways are not to be interfered with. This policy is so extreme that when Henry Phipps of Xe.w York, who discovered that there were no Pasteur institutes in India, al though more than 50,000 natives die from snake bites and similar causes every year, offered the sum of $5000j0 to es tablish them where they are most needed, the British government refused to ac cept the gift because of the native su perstition concerning snakes. Mr. Phipps had a hint from 1/rd Curzon to turn the money over to an association oi benevolent and scientific men who have no official relation. For the same reason I.ord Curzon would not permit the native princes to wear European garments. He insisted that thev should always appear in the native dress, and at the courts of all the rajahs and maharajahs the ancient customs ami ceremonies are required to be observed. This policy is intended to preserve and stimulate the sslf-re spect of the native races. The government does a great deal for the material advancement of the people, but very little for their education. It has expended vast sums in building railroads, developing irrigation systems and en couraging manufactures, but has never established free public schools. The edu cation of the people is left entirely to the native authorities, most of whom do Utile or nothing in that direction, and to the mssionaries. who do a great deal. As a consequence, the illiteracy of the masses is appalling, only about one# in three hundred of the native population being able to read or write. There arc many secondary schools, institutes and professional schools of various kinds, and five universities supported by the rajahs, the municipalities, local private benevo lence or the missionary societies in Amer ica or England. The late Mr. Tata, a Parsee merchant and manufacturer of great wealth, left several millions of dollars to found an institution similar to Johns Hopkins University for original researcu at Bombay. But the plan has not been carried out, for the reason that there is no demand for such an in stitution. There is no class of profes sional students in the empire who could make use of it. but it is believed that sooner or hiter conditions will develop which will justify the school. "A Little Learning Dangerous." The wise man of the ages tells us that "a little learning is a dangerous thing," and that has been thoroughly demon strated in India, where the "habtis" or partially educated natives are becoming too numerous for the demand for their services. Formerly they were needed in the government offices and In the count ing rooms of business firms and corpora tions, but the schools are turning out so many tjiat the market is oversupplied, and when a Hindu or a Filipino, just like many white men and negroes in the United States, learns to read and -write he usually refuses to do manual labor. These half-educated Hindus have a very exalted opinion of their importance, and those who cannot obtain employment blame the government and stir up sedi tion as far as they are able to do so. Thev organize political societies and clubs: they publish newspapers in the na tive languages, and engage in conspira cies which havo been followed by many assassinations which you have read about in the daily newspapers during the last two or three years. Most of them have occurred since l>?rd Curzon ?as re called and I^ord Minto became viceroy. As the latter has a more conciliatory disposition than his predecessor, the trou ble has been attributed to what they call li!sN "weak and vacillating administra tion. "? A similar condition in 1R05 was stopped by the summary action of the authorities who hanged every man engaged in a -po litical conspiracy within twenty-four hours after his capture. But such, sum mary proceedings are not likely to be approved by the British parliament or the British public in these merciful days. There was a most dastardly assassina tion only a few days ago. when Mr. Jack son. one of the ablest and most in fluential of British officials, a profound scholar and amiable gentleman, highly respected and beloved, was murdered as be stepped from a native theater in the city of Nasik, notorious as the residence of Brahminical fanatics. It afterward turned out that his assassin, a boy of eighteen, was sent by a native political club in Aurangabad for the purpose of killing. Mr. Jackson In revenge because the latter had passed a sentence of trans portation for life upon a Brahmin named feavarkar for a political offeuse. Every other assassination has been traced to a similar cause. They are all political, and are committed by fanatical sttldents and I other youn# men. of anarchistic tend 1 Drink Beer whichyoaxDoti is properly A6ed Perfect maturity is needed to bring out the full flavor of beer.

Many Hindus dream of political inde pendence like that which was to follow the mutiny of '57, and to quiet the asri tators and at the same time to Rratify nearly a million loyal natives, the gov ernment has increased the numbers and extended the jurisdiction of the native councils in-the several provinces and the imperial council which sits at Calcutta with the viceroy as presiding officer. These councils have been in existence for many years, but nearly all the mem bers have been appointed by the Brit ish government; and their jurisdiction has been practically limited to the re view and approval of the acts of the ex ecutives without much initiative or Inde pendent action. The following statement will show the total numerical strength of the old coun cils and that of the new. and the num ber of members who are to be elected by the people and the number who are to be appointed by the government: Membership. Old. X^vr. Appointed.Eleiled.

Formerly a candidate for one of the councils had to be approved by the srov ernment before he was allowed -to run, and that was regarded by native pandits and other educated men as too great a humiliation for tlieir dignity to endure. Instead of reserving a veto power over the personnel of candidates the govern ment has adopted certain rules by which undesirables are disqualified for members of the council. No man who is of un sound mind, or who is insolvent finan cially, or who has been dismissed from the government service, or has been sen tenced by a criminal court for crime or misdemeanor, or has publicly declared himself to be an enemy of the govern ment, or has been disbarred from prac tice before the court, or has been de clared by the governor general in coun cil of such reputation and antecedents that his election would be contrary to the dignity and the interests of the govern ment and welfare can be voted for. These disqualifications are sufficient to rule out every agitator or anarchist. Upon taking his seat every member of the council is required to take an oath of allegiance to his majesty the king, Em peror of Tndia, and to his viceroy, the governor general. Hitherto the tend of a member of tiie council lias been two years; hereafter it is to be three years. Manner of Elections. The elections are conducted under the rules prescribed by tlift British ballot act. the same as on England, Scotland and Ire land. and the "corupt practices act," which prohibits the use of money, in timidation or trickery of any kind, and conviction of a violation of this act not only forfeits the seat, but Involves a line and imprisonment. Formerly the election of a member had to be ratified by the viceroy as a precaution to keep out char acters dangerous to the state, but here after the choice of the electors is to be final. . Suffrage is limited to landowners, taxpayers and persons who can read and write. Professional, commercial and Industrial organizations and uni versities have representation as in the house of commons. Mohammedans vote separately and have their own repre sentation. which Is In excess of their numerical ratio. The sdfety of the government lies in the hatred that has always existed and always will exist between the Mohammedans, who consti tute one-third of the population, and the Brahmins, who constitute two thirds, but the Mohammedans are a much better class from every point of view, in intelligence, education, wealth and industry. The total number of voters under the "India councils act" is about l.250,00*> out of a. population of 300.000.000. Of these 283.00O are native Christian for eigners and Eurasians, the children of foreign and native parents; 103.000 ate Mohammedans; ??8r>,0?N> are Brahmins, and the remainder are Buddists, Jains, Sikhs. Parsees and membe-rs of otlu-r religious faiths. The total member ship of all the councils in the empire is 284. Of these 127 are appointed by the government; sixteen represent com mercial and industrial associations; five represent universities, and the remain der, 1.16, are representatives of the peo ple. natives at large. Results Satisfactory. The result of the elections has been surprisingly favorable to the govern ment and the class of men who have been elected to the councils is so much superior to what was expected that there is general rejoicing. In several cases Englishmen have been elected by the natives. The representation of the city of Bombay will be one English man. one Parsee, nine Hindus an.l six Mohammedans; that of Sind will be on Englishman, one Hundu and two Mohammedans; that of Calcutta, one Englishman, four Mohammedans, and nine Hundus; in the Punjab, all of those elected are Mohammedans; in Madras, five of the successful candidates are lawyers and five are substantial landholders. The Punjab I'nlversity elected a Hindu barrister, while tin; Punjab Chamber of Commerce elected Mr. Jamee Currle, a Scotch merchant. Marxian Mohan Mulvlya. a pandit, or learned Brahmin of Allahabad, who Is the leader of the har In that province and is perhaps the most conspicuous advocate of Indian independence in th< empire, whs also elected to the imperial council and will undoubtedly take a conspicuous part in the proceedings. ?
