vINC 10 RE NEEDED.

When man like Colonel Washington A.
Roeblinp. under whose direction the New-i ork
and BROOKLYN Bridge was in the main con-
etructed expresses his deliberate judgment in
repar to the future use and possibilities OF that
great work, what he says is to De accepted as
auiboritative-at least until it is set at naught
by men of equal repute as engineers VINO nave
had equal opportunities for studying the Bfdge
in all its parts. as well as for understanding
the work which it now does and is capable of
doing. Some of the Bridge officials who have
had no tai ing rs engineers have IateIy been
talking about building another railroad over
the present one, with the idea OF thus doubling
The capacity of thc Bridge. Colonel koebllng'
who has given careful thought to the matter,
savs in a recent interview, and says emphat-
icalIv. that this can only be done with safety
Inv doing away entirely with the promenade.
To do this would, however, In his Judgment,
he very unwiSe policy to pursue, Tor IL would
not only destroy utterly one OF the hneSt Walks
in the world. but it would bring too great
voiobt to bear on the middle cables. while, in
fact il is the outer cables that should be sub
ected to the additional strain if il IS to be laid
anywhere. As to the proposal to strengthen
the cables, Colonel ROebling is convinced that
that is out of the question, as the anchorages
are not sufficiently heavy to bear any additional
weight.
We have little doubt that these views of the
man who is perhaps better qualified than any
other to express an opinion on the question IN
hand will commend themselves to the Judg-
ment and common-sense Of the great majority
Of the people who favor an increase in the
carving capacity of the Bridge. Certainly it
is not for body of laymen, as most OF the
trustees are. to set themselves up against an
engineer Of the highest standing, whose name
will he forever associated most intimately with
the great Bridge which had its inception in
the mind of his famous father. In connection
with this subject it is interesting to note
Colonel Roebling's plan for improving the
Bridge facilities He would have cable cars
run on the roadways, which certainly seems to
be a simple and practicable plan. Such cars
would be to all intents and purposes street
cars run by CABLE of course, they would travel
at a lower rate of speed than the present rail-
way cars, and the fare would be less. They
would interfere to very small extent, II at
all. with the regular travel on the roadwayS
and would greatly relieve the pressure in the
trains, even when larger number of these are
in USE The only difficulty appears to be in
the switching Of these surface cable cars at
the New-York end of the Bridge from ono
roadway to the other. Still we are confident
that this can be solved without increasing the
crowded condition Of Park Row. Colonel
Roebling's ideas are well considered and sug-
gestive. They deserve the careful and candid
consideration of all who are interested in i'm
proving the passenger facilities between New
York and Brooklyn.

HER NEW PROPELLER PUTS HER THREE HoURa
AHEAD OF THE CITY OF NEw.YoRK.

AHEAD OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK.
The question as to whether tho new propcllen ~
Gently fitted to the White Star steamer Teutono
would increase her speed has been answered in tbs
Affirmative. At :33 O'Clock yesterday afternoon tho
great ship was sighted of Fire Island. She passed
Sandy Hook at 40, and at 80 last night had
reached her dock, the victor by three hours In hos
ocean race with the City OF New-York. Her time
for the full trip westward was days. hours and %
minutes.
Captain Parsen fairly beamed with qualification.
To Tribune reporter he said:
For the first two DAYS OF the vovaxe wa had heavy
head winds and rough seas, which reduced our speed
from nineteen TO seventeen and onehaf knots an
hour Then, on Saturday, the weather grow consider
ably worse and remained until dawn on sunday,
speed being reduced to thirteen knots an hour AfDr
Sunday the conditions improved and we had toleraby
fair weather right up to the finish Tho new pro.
pellers increase the ships speed fully oneha knot an
hour, and she has yet ten pounds OF steam ard eight
or ten revolutions Of the propelers In reserve with
fine, clear weather, believe shall be able 10 do the
trip In five days and twenty minutes. This is our
fastest trip westward, but have yet to beat our
last homcward record, which was days, hours and
8 minutes"
An otherwise pleasant voyage marred by tive
deaths among tho second cabin passengers william
Horisch, age thiry-six, a passenger from Queens
town, and Michael Aherne age thirty five from
Liverpool both living In this city died from delirum
tremens. Ahern's mother had gone 10 the pier to
meet her son, and on learning of his death ADD burial

rection does not appear encouraging. 1t was
the costly land purchase scheme which really
preiudiced the English constituencies against
Home Rule in 1886; and now that the Con-
sentative Government seems to be drifting
toward the same dangerous shoal the risks Of
ultimate shipwreck are greatly increased. The
present Parliament can hardly last more than
two wears with the current of the by-clections
flowing steadily against the Government. Il
Mr.. Gladstone's life be spared, he will inevl,
tably return to power and Irish questions will
be permanently divorced from the issues OF
En- glish politics.

son also taught by many other States. The
general tendency Of popular decisions for the
last two years has been against Prohibition as
n means Of restriction. In most OF the states
the advocates of temperance legislation are
strong enough to sustain and strictly enforce
high-Iicensc measures, if they agree upon that
course. 1t rests with them to determine, as
conscientious men, whether they will leave the
liquor traffic wholly unrestricted, because a
minority of them wish to try still further the
unsuccessful attempt to extirpate it by Prohibi-

insulation is to be determined by the expert
employed by the Board, and upon him the re-
sponsibility for electriclight wire accidents"
will now rest. Adequate insulation is clearly
indispensable for overhead conductors so long
as these are used but the true relief from this
wide pread danger is to be had only by burying
the wires To that end the most earnest Efforts
should be put forth.

The first to undertake the job Of spring
cleaning and decorating is the house of ii,
j. Gillen and the work has been done this
week with characteristic thoroughness.
Handsome paper on the side walls of the dry
goods house with new paint on the entire
interiOr-ceiling, shelving, counters, etc,
gives new appearance to the house. 1t is
fresh and clean, it Is bright, flooded with
sunlight and altogether delightful to the eye
one of the neatest store rooms in the city.
The work will be finished this morning
when the new goods will be opened. Some
are already on the shelves, but the bulk will
be opened within the next two working days.
aud the stock will be immense, larger. finer
and more complete than usual even at this
house.
Mr.. Gillen opens his 25d year with loom
and by carrying alwaysa complete stock and
making prices on a cash basis will certainly
make it the most SUCCESSFUL Of his career
thus far.
