The London County Council have signed
a contract for the construction of the much
debated tunnel at Blackwall. In three
years the completion of this work, which
will be of incalculable value to that busy
and populous portion of the metropolis
which lies east of London Bridge, may be
looked for When the Metropolitan Board
of Works received its guietus. the County
Council began de novo to consider the best
means of communication across the river.
They consulted Mr.. Wolfe Barry, who
recommended bridge; but, after a thor
ough examination of all the pros
and cons, the decided upon a tun-
mel q feet in diameter. Mr. Binnie,
he chief engineer to the County Council,
has prepared the plans and specifications.
On the north side the entrance to the tun-
mel is in the East India Dock road, quite in
the heart of a busy and densely populated
district. On the south side it will debouch
on Greenwich Marshes, about mile and a
quarter from Greenwich Hospital. The
heavy traffic from the docks will be able to
reach Greenwich, Deptford and.the popu-
lous districts of South London by way of
the tunnel, instead of making the circuit of
London Bridge-a saving of at least ten
miles, The gradient, of which so much has
been made, will not be serious obstacle.
1t is less than that of the roadway at st.
Martins Church, leading from the Grand
Hotel to the corner of the National Gal
!ery

were far behind the European engineers in
their ability to transmit such power to 3
long distance. Buffalo is the largest town
within easy reach of Niagara, being some
Is miles away. This was where the power
company wished first to get, but by any Of
the methods used in America the loss of
power was so great that it would not pay.
In this emergency DR.. Coleman Sellers, OF
Philadelphia, was asked to visit Europe
and see what he could learn there that
would enable the company to do what it
wished. He found that the Swiss were
transmitting water power very cheaply and
effectively, and that in Paris and Birming-
ham compressed air was being used with
great satisfaction.
But even after seeing all that he could, he
did not feel equal to making plans with
which he was entirely satisfied He, there
fore, at the expense of the company, organ
lied an international commission, with Sir
William Thompson as Chairman. On this
commission besides Sir William were DR..
Sellers representing America; Colonel
Turrenttini, Mayor of Geneva, representing
Switzerland; M. Marichas, of the French
Institute, and Prof Unwin, of London.
This commission received plans from all the
greatest electrical engineers in the world,
and awarded prizes aggregating. 5,OO0
These plans showed that to take the power
to Buffalo was entirely feasible, and that
while the power could be sold at great
profit on the spot at $40 per annum per
horsepower, it could also be sold in Buffalo
at price very much under the cost OF steam
generated there in the usual way.

WOMEN WHO vO TIE.
Some efshe Election bay Inci-
demta Ont In Wx0lmlmg.


Wyoming was the only State in the
Union where women voted for q Presi-
dent OF the United states on election
day lest. Ii is safe 10 say that 95 per
cent. Of the women Of the State availed
themselves Of the privilege. In the
country districts many Of them rode
seventy miles going 10 and returning
from the polls.
Women have been voting in Wyom-
Ing for twenty years. but for the great
er portion OF the time have taken but
little interest IN elections or politics.
1t therefore became part Of the political
machinery aud work of both parties to
provide carriages on election days Ms
one Of the Inducements to have them
come 10 the polls.
At several elections the Republicans
in the Cheyenne district almost ami
hiIated the forces Of the Democracy by
hiring months In advance, at fabulous
prices, every back and livery team In
the city.
AT the present time the usua. price
Is $50 per team for election day, and rs
forty to fifty teams are used in the city
the Item of carriage hire is an im20r-
tant u and should be charged 10 the
debit side OF the woman suffrage ques
tion.
Many of the women of both parties
are casting off this one feature Of de-
pendsnco and now walk boldly to the
polls the same as their fellow suffrag-
isis, the mtn. This was particularly
30 at the recent election, and very few
women who were able to walk came in

The great strike at Homestead was
ended at a meeting on Sunday night,
after "a lockout of 144 days. There
were left $500 men of the $500 strikers.
With no work, winter coming on, and
starvation staring them in the face the
best that could be done was to apply
for their old places. Many of the lead
ers have been black-iisted and will not
be employed and the Others have to
take their chances for positions not fill
ed and agree to not join a labor organ
izatioa. The costs put upon Allegheny
county by the strike is fixed al 5000, 900.
The loss to the Carnegie Steel company
is variously estimated at from 81 ,000,-
900 to 50, 500, 900. The loss 10 the old
employees has averaged $4,000 per
month, making the total for five
mouths 1925, 900. AT least thirty-6ve
deaths were directly or indirectly caus

One Of the most unique and success
fui features OF the Winter Season in the
City OF Philadelphia is the curse Of en-
t~ertainme,Is given BY the great Dry
Goods merchants, Messrs. S~trawbridge
d Clothier, TO their employees aud fam
lilies, ct absolutely no charge, what.
ever, for admission tickets or reserved
seats. The Academy If Music is ell
gagged for the purpose, and all the ar
rabgements are laid upon a broad and
libesul foundation. There is nothing
sensational about the entertainments,
nor anything tina: SAVIOR Of advertising.
The tickets are distributed among the
employees with the greatest care, and
the interest that is shown and the de-
light manifest by the recipients must
be ample repayment to the firm for all
the money and time expended.
As illust rating the class OF artists
who have appeared ut these entertain
mcnts, the following are selected from
the great number who have appeared
upon the course, which entered upon
its eight year this winter.

Fisher, the glorious basso, have sung
before this great audience, and among
iileiecturers John b. Cough, John L.

meiited Daniel Donaherty have ap-
peared. The long list OF eloeu,ionists
and humorists include:
Helen Putter, Nella F. Brown, A. p.
Burbank, J. w. Macy, Marshall r.
Wilder and j. s. Burdett.
Sure this list of artists IS sufficient to
mark this Course of entertainments as
overlapping any similar course in any
American city.
A unique feature of these entertain
meits is AS follows:
Although regular coupons for re-
served seats are issued, at 8 O'Clock
promptly, a gong in the corridor is
struck, When all seats not at that time
occupied. are thrown open to holders
| of admission tickets. This is II novel
feature that might be readily adopted
