RAILROAD AND FINANCIAL TIPS.

Within short time the Pennsylvania Rail-
road will have at Jersey City, for transporta-
ton of passengers, baggage and freight, a
double-decked ferry boat, the upper portion
being for passenger cars, which viii form on
the New York side close connection with
the elevated railroad system, A ear by this
method could land its passengers on the New
York side, where an elevated car could carry
them to other parts of the city, thus enabling
travellers to reach their destination in the
East without the delay of jaunt across the
city. The facilities for travelling are now
very great, but in the near future every
large city will no doubt have means by W fi.n
cars themselves can be run through the
municipal limits without change. 1t will not
probably be ten years before cars will be run
from Bangor to San Francisco, passing
through cities without change.

THE BEHRING SEA QUESTION.
A British Admiral Says It 10 Too Late to
Head Us OF.

VICTORIA, BE-, July 1S-H.M.S Warspite,
flagship OF the North Pacific squadron, with
Rear Admiral Hotham aboard, arrived here
yesterday. The admiral stated emphatically
that he had as yet received no instructions
to send any Of the feet to the north to protect
British vessels from seizure by American cutters
or to retake any that might be seized in Behring
sea.
Admiral Hotham said he could hardly see
how the United States could establish a tenable
claim to close Behring sea and thought that
Canadian interests must win in the diplo-
matte fight progressing. Had England any
intention of sending one of the fleet to Behr-
ing sea this year to prevent seizure Of schoon-
ers flying the English flag it was presumed
that orders would have come long ago. Now,
If one did go. it would be practically
too late in the season to accomplish the end
aimed ct. He certainly should make no move
in the matter without ample instructions so to
do

MUST PAT FOR THE GRANITE sLocr

MUST PAT FOR THE GRANITE BLOCKs.
Some days ago Capt. RosseH wrote letter to
the Engineer Commissioner relative to the
right Of railroad companies TO take granite
Hooks on paved streets and use them in paving
between their tracks The matter was referred
to the attorney for an opinion and today he
rendered one in which he says that the mate
ri i composing the pavemen.s Of the streets Of
the city is the property of the District and that
while the law requires the several street rail-
road companies of this city to keep the spaces
between their tracks and for two feet outside
OF the outer rail thereof at all times paved and
in good order this does not mean that the rail-
road companies may appropriate any material
that they may find IN the street with which to
do the work. He SAWS IN the case Of the Ana
costa and Potomac River Railroad Company
they should be notified that they must return
TO the District in kind as many blocks rs they
have used from the old pavement or else pay
the District for those used.

THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL.
1t VIII Probably BE the Last Measure
Considered by the Senate This Session.

There ID q sudden silence among Senators a
to the federal election bill and the proposition
70 change the rules Of the Senate. A very
general assumption from this fact IL that
the friends Of the measure have
nearly given up hops Of securing ito
passage. This assumption does not appear TO
be we'll founded, however. Pressure IL still
being brought to bear on the Eve or six rspub-
lican Senators who are most determined in
their opposition to the measure. Meanwhile
the features Of the bill are being considered by
the committee on privileges and elections. with
the view Of its being called mp for considers
ton. The republican members Of this com
mittee held
CONFERENCE TO-DAY,
going over the details Of the measure and dis
cussiug them at some length TO determine what
amendments. Il any, will be recommended.
1t is the purpose of the Senate, so far 40
there 10 any set purpose, TO dispose of the APP
preparation bills and the tariff bill before taking
up this subject of federal elections.
Judging from the time consumed in legit-
innate debate on the sundry civil bill, it wall
probably take considerable time yet to dispose
OF these measures.
THE DISCUSSION OF THE TARIFF
will probably not be begun until after the ap-
preparations are disposed of, and there il no
telling when it will end.
The indications are that the federal election
