improvements that will Make the New York
Division the Finest.
PHILADELPHIA, March Ian official
of tho Pennsylvania railroad stated to.
day that the improvements on tho com.
pany's line to New York'would be rap.
idly pushed to completion.
He said that when finished the New
York division will be the finest railroad
in the country, II not in the world.
Plans have been prepared on most
liberal scale, and the result will proba-
bly, be the reduction OF the running time
between Philadelphia and New York
from two hours 10 ono hour and three
quarters, and perhaps on one or two
trains to IN hour and hall.
Within the last week the company has
bought several pieces OF real estate in
Elizabeth and other towns along the
road. Upon this additional tracks
necessary TO make the road q four.track
line will be laid. About ten miles OF
third track and fifteen Of fourth track
are yet to be laid. These gaps are chiefly
in the city, where the land Is high, and
It's purchase was left until the last mo-
ment. These plots arc now being bought
up. But the great improvement will be
at Jersey City, where the surface tracks
running TO tho ferry will DO elevated. A
million dollars will be spent on this
work alone.
A charter has been taken out by the
company for railroad, called the Wav-
erly 4 Passaic Railroad, which will make
a detour over the Newark Meadows,
around Newark, thus enabling the com.
pany to send It's live freight by a short
line, and avoid running through New.
ark. Another road, the WaYerly &
New York Bay, will DO built from Wav.
erly to the National docks at Jersey
City, which will accommodate the
freight seeking that outlet. From Wav.
erly to Jersey City the present road will
practically DO given up to passenger
traffic.
"With all freight trains removed from
the route Of express trains, with an i'm
proved road bed, and better arrange,
ments for running fast trains through
cities, we expect" concluded the official
"that the elghty.eight miles between
Jersey City and Philadelphia can bt
covered in as many minutes, leaving
seventeen minutes for the ferriage across
the Hudson river"

LONDON, March l.-1reland has been

DR.. Tanner here entered tho House

ernment had placed Irish constables at

Mr. II, P. Copp (Radical) asked II Mr..

Mr.. Gladstone then resumed the de.
bate on the address in reply to the
Queens speech. He held that there
were three main issues raised in the
amendment under discussion. The
House was called upon entirely to dis.
claim the present administration OF the
Irish Government; 1t was asserted that
to this system was due the
aversion Of the people to Great
Britain; and finally the House
was asked to adopt measures OF concilla-
ton. They owed an apology to the peo.
pie Of Ireland for allowing the great
question oil the domestic government OF
their country to remain unintroduced
In the present Parliament. Still the
liberals were tolerably well satisfied
with the progress OF the question In the
favor ol the country, Cheers.
Mr.. Chamberlain told them that the
measure Of local government for Ireland
must be indefinitely postponed. That
meant that IN some future Parliament
possibly gentlemen calling themselves
Liberal Unionists might incline To look
up to an Irish government. At present
the votes Of that part OF the House were
OF importance as the main stay OF
