LONGER THAN BROOKLYN BRIDGE
The New Structure to be Built over
the Hudson.

NEW YORK, July 8.-Colnnel Thomas
Lincoln Casey of the United States Engi-
neer Corps, has received orders from Secre-
tary Whitney to call a public meet
ing next Tuesday in the army building, for
the purpose of having the plans for the pro-
posed bridge across the Hudson river, sub
mitted, and of hearing any arguments which
may be urged in opposition to the scheme.
Colonel Casey will preside, and all argu-
ments pro and con, will be reported by a
stenographer and forwarded to Secretary
Whitney. Colonel Casey made some meas
urements on the maps in his office, and said
Roughly measured, the distance from bulk
head to bulkhead at the place mentioned is
about $500 feet. This would be the length of
the span, and it would be some 1900 feet
longer than the span on the Brooklyn
pridge, ana IL the end spans are to
be 1900 feet, it would bring the first
pier on this side somewhere in the
neighborhood of Ninth avenue and Hudson
street. The height at its lowest point, as
mentioned In Senator Quay's bill, is 140 feet,
and IN suspension bridge this lowest point
would be where the cables leave the piers, so
that it would be from the very nature of
things much higher in the centre. The prob
able cost of such bridge, and whether such
a span can be built in safety, are matters on
which l am not at liberty to express an
opinion"

city, will supply a large portion of the capt.

formed people laugh at the idea of bull ding
such bridge at such figure, and say it will
turn out like the st. Louis bridge that Capt
James B. Eads said could be built for $1,000

WILD TALK BY THE ENGINEERS.
Threats to Tie Up Every Road Lead
ing to Chicago
Radicals Apparently in Control o.
Brotherhood Affairs
And Determined to Make Common
Cause With the Q. Men.

CHICAGO, July S.-A local paper says
IF the crisis in the affairs Of the two great
brotherhoods does not result in general
strike it will not be the fault of the radical
faction. Their leaders were busy yesterday
bracing up the more Conservative members
of the organizations. Chairman Hoge Is the
recognized leader of the Radicals and
voiced the general sentiment when he said,
''if the roads. through the dictation of the
Burlington are ready to delare open war up
on the Brotherhoods, we are ready for them.
1t Is claimed, and l am inclined to believe
the statement true, that wholesale arrests Of
men prominent In the present strike will be
made when Stone Of the Burlington, gives
the word. ] have said before, and say
again, If any such thing takes place. every
road in Chicago will be tied up inside Of 36
hours. The men are ready and willing to
make such move, and viii not tamely submit
to the consummation of such outrages. "This
kind of talk is not confined to the Burling-
ton strikers. During the evening, engineers
from the Chicago, Milwaukee u st. Paul,
and other roads called upon Hoge and had
long consultations. The complete failure Of
the strike has added to the rank of the radi-
Gals in all divisions. The 20" strike has
been the topic of discussion in every broth
erhood meeting held since the strike was de-
clared over. Four months ago the radicals
jumped at every pretext and sought to pre-
cipitate a strike. During the last two
months central organizations have
been quietly formed, embracing representa-
tives from every road leading to Chicago. 1t
has been impossible to ascertain the exact
nature Of the agreement existing between
the employees Of the various roads. One of
the prime movers in the organization
was seen and made the following state
ment after exacting a promise that
his name be not used. "a great majority OF
the Brotherhood men now recognize, as a
few Of us always maintained, that an awful
mistake was made when the bycott was
lifted. The o. men are licked as the mat
ter now stands. We know what that means.
1t means that another road will be selected
and made non-union as soon as the oppor-
tunity is presented. 1t means that the rail-
road companies have decided to abolish the
Brotherhood. The fight is bound to come
sooner or later, and if the defeated 'Q' men
are made the victims of a conspiracy, we
will take hand in it ourselves. The men
on our road are red hot. They would strike
tomorrow morning If l gave them the word.
We are making no bluff; we mean business.
Our existence as an organization Is at stake,
and If the fight must come, let her come"

WHAT THE LAW MAKERS ARE DOING.
Senator Hoar to Speak on the Fish,
cries Treaty Tuesday.
Wool and WooIens the Tariff Topic
for the Week.
Various Other Matters Reported
from the National Capital.

WASHINGTON, July s-Senator Cullan in
tends to call up tomorrow the bill to amend
the Interstate Commerce law. Senator
Hoar win speak on the fisheries treaty Tues
day. The army appropriation bill, which is
in an unfinished state, is likely to be the only
appropriation bill debated during the week.
The tariff and appropriation bills will en-
gage the House during the week. The COM
mittee on appropriations expect to report the
general deficiency and fortifcation bills. the
last of the regular appropriation bills yet to
come before the House, early in the week,
and will demand prompt action upon them.
Less than dozen pages of that part of the
tariff bill which fixes duties remain to be
acted upon, bun as they include the wool and
woolens schedules it is thought unlikely that
the bill will be disposed of this week
Congressman Burnes of Missouri a men,
Der OF the House committee on approDria-
tions. says in regard to adjournment: ~
think we can get away in six weeks from
now. The tariff bill will probably come to a
vote in about ten days. 1t will then go to
the Senate. The Republican substitute will
pass; a committee of conference will be ap-
pointed, and they can settle the question in
three days. For that matter" continued
Mr.. Burnes, "the conference committee can
agree to disagree in one day." Mr.. Burnes
feels uuite confident that Congress will ad-
J0urn by the middle of August.
