ADMISSION OF WARRINGTON
IN THE SENATE.

Washington April l, the hour of 2.
o'clock arriving, the Washington Terri
tory bill was laid before the senate, and
Dolph resumed the floor and continued
his remarks 10 favor Of the admission of
the territory. He said if it was admitted
it would soon become one Of the most
important states of the republic.
Morgan supported the bill. He said
he was informed by Senate Stanford that
= line Of British steamers was now adj
vertised for regular fortnightly trips be-
tween British Columbia and Hong Kong.
We should, he said, be competitor with
- & .;;;ss;a Il. 10 commerce of the
Pacific ocean.
Frye said the senator from California,
(StanfordD ought also to have informed
Morgan that Great Britain did not pay
that line two cents letter for carrying
British mail, aud did not have post
master general who vetoed an appropria.
ton which would have paid ten.
Morgan admitted that was true. He
was sorry people could not agree, Blu,
there would be no difficulty in agreeing
about Washington Territory.
Committee amendments to the bill
were then voted on seriatim, and
sgreed to.
Dolph moved an amendment. which
was agreed to, exempting from the prosis
ion that required school lands not to be
cold for less than So an acre, certain
laads already disposed of for the same
purpose at lower price. Dolph ais,
moved an amendment providing that ths
counties of Idaho that are to become
apart of the state of Washington shall
not BY the change be released from re,

Our Canadian nelghbors are seriously discussing
another gigantic engineering scheme, a plan to con-
meet Prince Edwards Island with the main land by
means Of submarine iron tubular tunnel, The
plans for this work have been laid before the Do
mnon government, and will form the subject Of
debate at the approaching session OF Parliament.
-Four lines have this been surveyed across the
Straits OF Northumberland which has resulted In
finding plane OF plateau on which the tunnel.tube
be successfully laid. The proposal IA to build
on each side piers inside the "bordce" into which
the tube 10 laid some 800 feet making the full length
Of the pipe or tunnel o. miles, or about 6N miles
nautical between the piers. The bottom shows q
very good road-bed, varying In depth from &c feet
on the plane side about so feet in the CENTRE and
thence ashore on the New Brunswick side TO lOtS
feet The tunnel is to be is feet in dlametcr to be
made OF heavy sections OF chilled white cast iron,
inches thick or more, according to depth The
sections are boted together by inside ianges making

necton with the surface can be maintained by a
vertical shalt II desired, but as railroad can be laid
through the tunnel fast 1t is built, ali the ma
teral used can enter that way and plenty Of air and
communication be maintained with the shore.
Where the depth OF water will allow OF the obstruc-
tion to the chaanel, the tunnel win be laid on the
natural bottom otherwise a channel will be dredged
The advantages claimed for this method over those
heretofore used arc that 1t brings the grade much
higher than any tunnel through the solid, especially
In trcacherous material. All excavation 10 done
from the surface, by dredging, and no compressed
air Is used. The difference, as explained by Pro-
fessor Bull between this tunnel and the Mersey and
the Thames tunnels Is that In the latter cases the
tunnels were dug through the ground, while In the
present scheme an iron tunnel will be constructed
resting beneath the Straits OF Northumberland. Pre-
micr Sullivan says this is the only scheme which
Will secure an uninterrupted communication between
the Island and the Dominion. Immense sums OF
money have been thrown away on the Northern
Light and other steamers which 1t was expected
could force their way during winter through the
fields Of Arctic ice. They have broved failure,
and the l25ooo islanders practically shut of from
communication with the outer world during the Icy
months Of winter. When the island entered the
confederation one Of the articles OF the agreement
was that communication should be kept up with the
main land all the year round. Premier Sullivan oi
Prince Edwards Island, has gone to England to lay
the grievances Of the Islanders before the Imperial
authorities. Unless the submarine tunnel Ia built
they threaten to secede from the confederation

Between the Commissioners and the School
Trustees the people Of the District are gen.
orally on the side of the Trustees. There
would seem, however, 10 he middle ground
which would be safe TO stand upon, and we
trust the new Commissioners will give the
subject thorough and patient consideration.
They have always been really supreme
through their absolute power of appoint
ment and removal Of Trustees, and II any
evils have crept into the school administra-
tion they can easily be cured without de-
stroying the usefulness of the Trustees. The
latter have generally been intelligent, pub
lic-spirited citizens, giving much time to the
interests Of the schools. None of the Com
missioners can claim TO possess their inti-
mate knowledge of the schools and their
needs. The Trustees should not be mere
fgure.heads, as contemplated by ex Commits
sioner Edmonds, nor, on the other hand,
should they be independent of the Commits.
soners. The Trustees should have the sole
power of nominating teachers, and the Com
missioners the right to say yea or nay TO
such selections. In matters of school sites
the selection should be left to the Trustees,
subject TO the approval of the Commissioners,
and SO in regard to other expenditures. In
short, in all matters of patronage, building,
supplies, or changes Of textbooks, the Trus.
tees should have the initiative, subject to
the approval of the Commissioners. In mat
ters relating 10 the conduct of the schools
and the studies to be prosecuted the Trustees
should have full powers. There is no doubt
that the services of the Trustees have been
of great value, and that but for them the
general inclination Of former Commissioners
to slight the public schools for the purpose
of spending more money on material i'm
provements would have been more injurious
to educational interests than It has been
The District Commissioners have too much
other work to do to give the necessary atten-
tion to the details Of management of the
public schools, and 1t is not likely that they
can secure the 90 operation of suitable per-
| sons to serve as Trustees If the latter are to
| be shorn of all power. The grim logic of
pursue. Either abolish the Trustees en-
tirely, and place upon the Commissioners
the sole and direct responsibility of a per-
sonal management of the schools, or give the
Trustees the necessary powers to render
their control efficient.
