There was unloOked-for activity in Bridge
legislation yesterday, the Assembly acting IA
vorably on two important measures. The first
of these, known as the Sullivan BILL is sub
stantlally the Birkett measure over again. This
was passed by vote Of SO to 15 The large
majority revives the hope that the Senate also
may take like action, since the Birkett bill was
defeated in that body by only single vote
After this the Assembly passed the bill establish
ing an East River Bridge Commission-also by
a large majority. The measure was approved
by the Senate several days ago. If the Sullivan
bill becomes law the Bridge Commission will
not find itself overburdened with work, as the
company now seeking charter offers the only
bridge scheme that is likely to assume practical
form for many years.

He Does Not Like TO See Russia In the
Dardancilcs.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-The question OF the
Dardanelles becoming a passageway for
Russian warships to the Mediterranean
just now exceeds In interest even the war
In Chilli. Well authenticated rumors says
that the foreign Office will not stand idly
by and see the Mediterranean invaded by
Russian feet under the guisQ of volun-
teer transports or otherwise. The main
question seems to be whether England
| will have 20 protest alone or be sustained
in such a course by the powers Of the triple
alliance
No doubt Is entertained that Russia has
been encouraged TO her present aggressive
attitude by the understanding with
France, and feels safe with France as a
friend against any unsupported action on
the part Of Great Britain.
