and travel from passing through
the Highlands of New York, to build
up her own seaport town. But between
the tide water of the Hudson at Alba
ny and Troy there is the, Hoosac Noun
tain before one reaches the Connecticut
river. To haul frelghts over this noun
tain is expensive; and togo roundit is to
visit New York, not Baston. That an
easy grade, donble track, direct TO Bos-
ton Harbor, from the great lakes,
rivers, canals, and railways of the West,
Will be eminently beneficial, not only
to the old Bay State, but all New Eng
land, admits of hardly doubt. The
life and capital invested in this indus
trial undertaking are small as compar-
ed with those sunk in war, but they will
prove vastly more fruitful of good.

THE HOOsAC TUNNEL.

peace hath its triumphs no less
than war" Among the triumphs of
industry, art and science, that of per-
forating Hoosac mountain distance
of twenty-five thousand and thirty-one
feet lover four miles,, constructing a
tunnel large enouYh for double track
railway, is not the least deserving of
commentator. The work has been in
progress with varying success nearly
twenty years. When undertaken by a
railway company, it was estimated to
cost some three million dollars; but
after one or more failures, the State of
Massachusetts took the matter in hand,
and has thus far expended, including
work done by others, some so, 300, 900,
requiring perhaps 100000 to complete
the enterprise. 1t is not easy to learn
N advance, what impediments may be
encountered in boring four miles
through very unlike strata of rock,
some of which must be support
ed by solid masonry over the rail-
way track, and some may yield so much
water as to drive out the workmen be-
fore any outlet is made. Both Of these
difficulties proved very formidable and
expensive. There are two ridges In the
mountain with a deep depression be-
tween, supplying a favorable point for
a central shaft to ventilate the tunnel,
and remove the large mass of rock IN
part. that must be carried out to pro-
duce an opening of "a feet wide, and
26 a part of the way, and from % to 26
feet in height. This central shaft is
1,O3O feet deep, its conjugate diameter
is 81 feet: its transverse diameter is Is
feet. For purposes of drainage, the
track descends either way to the portal,
or where it enters the mountain, on the
east and west sides. But before an out
let was reached from the central
shaft, it required a steam engine of
eighty-horse power to lift it out of the
mountain and give the miners chance
to work. The combustion of so much
coal in close and deep pocket would
rapidly contaminate the air, and render
extra ventilation indispensable. Seven
million brick have been used in arching
the west part of the tunnel, where it
was expected the natural rock would
need nothing of the kind for support,
1t is something to the credit of engi-
neering skill and science that in run
ming lines two miles and over deep in a
mountain from opposite sides, the ex-
cavations should meet within fve-six-
teenths of an inch in direct contact.
When backed by men and money, sci
ence always wins, only give it fair time.
Since the completion of the Erie canal
in 1926, Massachusetts has sought to
| divert a part of its immense trade

THE trouble with the United States
is not the only one which Spain has On
her hands, which is becoming serious if
not threatening. There is also quar-
rel with Prussia. 1t grows out of the
seizure of two Germanmerchant. vessels
in the Sooloo Archipelago, for which
PREPARATION is demanded by the German
government. The case of these mer-
chantmen seems somewhat similar
to that of the Virginius. 1t is even
stronger against Spain, because the
territory near which the vessels were
captured owed no allegiance to that
power. and no blockade of the harbors
had ever been maintained.

NO INVESTIGATIONS.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Commercial says it is
evident there is a determination on the
the part of those in power to prevent
Investigations of any sort during the
present Congress. An extreme sensl-
tiveness to criticism is observed IN Con-
gressmen generally, and especially
those who are understood to have been
barely missed by the Investigations OF
last winter. The plan by which inves-
LEGATIONS are to be prevented is reveal
ed in Ben. Buffers resolution offered
on the 4th inst, which provides that
in all cases where a resolution de-
handing an investigation Is offered, 1t
shall be referred to the standing COM
mittee to which the subject matter of
the proposed investigation belongs, and
the author of the resolution shall be re-
uuired to state to the committee, IN the
fullest manner possible, and in minut-
est detail, all One EedSOlls Ill'tO nave III
PEELED him TO move his resolution, and
that the committee shall then report to
the House whether, in their opinion,
the matter is worthy Of further atten-
ton. The correspondent adds:
The unfortunate gentleman who
moves an investigation is, it is under
stood, to be subjected to cross-examina-
ton and otherwise harTied as the pros
cutting witness in a Police Court. There
is good reason to believe that Butler,
in proposing this method of preventing
Investigations Of corruption, is the
mouthpiece of a strong party that is
prepared 90 to extreme lengths to Sc
cure its adoption. If itshould succeed,
it will. in connection with the Senate
Press Committee-which is understood
TO be device for the purpose OF init
midating newspaper correspondents
,ro far to the establishment of state
0f affairs under which the people can
be kept in comparative ignorance of
matters vital to know, and which other
wise would be fully ventilated.

CHARLESTON seems to be terribly IN

cago Air Line Railroad to the southern

Active preparations are making for a
railroad convention which Will be held
there, under the auspices of the Cham
Der of Commerce, on the 18th inst. A
large number of prominent railroad
men and private citizens have been IN
vited to attend the convention, and the
