THE HARLEM SHiP CANAL.
The Produce Exchange Asks that the In
tereats of the RnIIroads be Protected.

WASHINGTON. Juno Ex-senator Hoar. in be-
half of Senator Evarts. who was absent. pre-
sonted q petition to-day from tho New York
Produce Exchange urging that further appro-
priarons for tho Harlem River Canal be made
contingent upon the consent OF the State that
railroads shall be permitted to raise thoir
grales so rs easily to pass over the bridges
spanning the canal. The petition says:
Rapid transit between the UPPER and lower
parts OF the city is u vital necessity to the
growth and prosperity OF New York. Every
means OF communication between New Eng
land and the West and our city should be kept
open and increased. The Harlem River Canal,
as projected, although OF great importance 70
the commerce OF New York, Mt the same time j.
OF MINOR importance compared with such rapid
transit within the boundaries ofthc city and free
communication between our city and New
England and the West. The New York Produce
Exchange believes that the projected enlarge
ment Of tho Harlem River and Spuytcn Duyvil
Creek should be made dependent upon tho
railroads being carried across open bridges
under conditions which will afford tho least in,
terruDtion to tho transit OF passengers into and
out OF New York city"

Tho Practical solution OF tho Rapid
Transit Problem.

Tho report OF tho very able Commits
sion appointed by Mayor GRANT to consider
tho problem Of rapid transit clearly demon
strates ono fact, and this fact Is that tho
proprietors OF the existing elevated lines
hold the key to the question, and possess
virtual monopoly Of swift urban transport
NatIon In this city. They own the most
available central routes, and what is equally
important, II not more 30. tho one impor-
tant terminus at the southern end OF Man.
haitian Island; and they have fixed rate
az faro for the entire length OF the oity
which any new company must adopt ana
which is 90 low that no line that Is very
costly to build or to operate, can be sure OF
living on 1t. Especially will this be found to
hold true Of any line which would have to
buy its right OF way for any considerable
part Of Its length.
There are Just two practicable methods OF
giving to this city the Increased facilities OF
rapid transit which 1t requires. Ono OF these
Is the construction Of subterraneous line
under Broadway. whore the company would
not have TO pay for the right OF way,
and tho only extra expense would be for
the construction Of the necessary conduits
for water works, gas pipes, telegraph wires,
and the like There railway Of four tracks
might be built, two for through trains and
two for way trains; and the structure might
be lighted and ventilated In way to obviate
the objections which exist against ordi-
nary underground railways, such as those
In London. At the same time, the Broadway
underground would afford q central and
convenient line, not too expensive to be at
tractive to capitalists, with the restriction
OF five-cent fare and no more.
The other method OF meeting the exigenoy
OF the situation Ia simpler and easier and
should first be taken In hand. 1t consists In
changing the existing elevated lines into
two-story structures. This would involve
building them over anew and more substan-
TALLY, so as to mako them sufficient to sup
port a system Of way trains on the first floor
and one of through trains on the second and
SO as to remove the posts from the middle
OF the streets and place them outot the way
on the curbstones.
Such an arrangement as this would do
much more than double tho present capaci-
ties OF the elevated lines; and when 1t Is
supplemented with four-track railroad
under Broadway, we may count upon its an
swering the necessities OF the metropolis
for an indefinite period.

The Privilege of Appointing Hin Costs the
Supreme Court Justices VexRtien.
The Justices OF the Supreme Court got tho
Legislature Of 1889 to amend section 99 Of the
Code OF Civil Procedure 80 that they could each
designate an attendant to act as clerk to the
Justice Provision was made for increasing
the salary of such attendant clerk by $500.
The Justices then went to the Board Of EST
mate and got S. 900 added to their estimate for
this increased salary for seven men.
The whole arrangement was upset by the
Legislature of 1890. Ii WAS Academia ally upset
tually. Frederick W.. Hoffman, the interpre:
ter OF the City Court Is the innocent cause Of
all the trouble. He thought he would rather
be q Supreme Court inter prefer at o.. 800 year
than a City Court Interpreter at 81. 500. As
there was no place in the Supreme Court he got
n lawyer to draft q bill amending section SO OF
the code SO as to give the Justtces power TO sp-
point 81. 500 interpreter. The lawyer referred
to copy OF the code that did not contain the
amendment OF 1889. and. drafting his amended
section left out the provision giving power to
designate attendants as clerks at an Increased
salary.
The Justices at meeting yesterday decided
that as the attendant clerks have been desiR-
mated. and their salaries appropriated for the
year. they need not be disturbed until the first
OF January. Mean while they are not much dis
posed to mako an Interpreter out OF Hoffman.
