street Tuesday morning.
The general is looking in excellent
health. A representative of THE
GAZETTE inquired Of him as to the pro
spects of early departmental action upon
the proposed harbor improvements.
General Smith said that nothing will be
disclosed until the commission sends in
its report to the Chief Engineer Of the
department at Washington. When
ready the Chief Engineer will send his
comments upon the subject to the River
and Harbor Commission which will,
in turn, report to Congress.
For the past seven years General
Smith has recognized the need of these
improvements and has advocated them
in his annual reports. He realizes Will
mingtonis ability to build government
cruisers and recognizes the soundness of
our builders position in asking that the
river be permanently deepened, in order

tracts being taken up here, be removed.

New YORK, Feb, 20.-There was a
collision Mt Z o'clock this morning be-
tween two trains on the avenue tunnel

gotten under control and the work OF
rescue began. At 1890 five dead and
seven injured had been removed. The

Hospital. None of the passengers are
known TO be among the killed or in
iured. They are all believed to be EN-
ployes of the road. The passengers in
the New Haven train were badly shaken
up but beyond some slight cuts and
bruises none of them were badly hurt.

train, said when Mt Seventy-second
street he got the white signal, which

strongly protest against French artists
exhibiting works of art at the coming

the art centre Of Europe and thus eclipse
Paris, which city now claims to be enti-
tied to that honor.
