An Underground Electric Railway.

London's electric railway runs from the
''city" to Stockwell, distance of four
miles, more or less, and lies buried in the
ground at depth of 300 feet nearly at the
city end and is reached by elevators. This
great descent is rendered necessary for two
reasons-first, the road goes under the bed
of the Thames, and second, the city COM
missioners of sewers, who had great say
in the matter, agreed that if it were so low
down they would only charge a small sum
for the ground.
The train consists of an engine and four
vestibule cars so that it is possible to pass
from a smoking carriage to nonsmoker.
and vice versa. The seats are not arranged
like our Pullman, but are fixed in the same
manner as are the seats in the electric cars
here.
The train is drawn by an engine with a
storage battery and works very well unless
the power gives out, when there is delay
sometimes of half an hour-not very agree
able in tunnel just large enough for the
train, admirably ventilated as the tunnel is.
Since the opening of this unique railroad
the fares have been altered and improved
terms made, for now you can go half way
i e., to the Kensington Oval-for a pen
ny, and the journey from Stockwell to the
city is regularly done in Is minutes. There
are no tickets, but you can get commura-
ton tickets for 3, G or u months at reason
able rates. The air in the tunnel is always
fresh, and even in summer cool.-Boston

THEY continue to discover new cases
in New York city, and the
health. authorities have now pronounced
the. disease epidemic there. The cases
thus far discovered have all been found
in crowded and uncleanly tenement
houses, and, as the disease is known to
be highly infectious and contagious, its
spread is not to be wondered at. ,Vigor-
GUS measures are now being taken to
stamp it out, and it is to be hoped that
they may succeed before it is carried
elsewhere. Meanwhile it would seem to
be we'll for other cities to be on their

In the meautima, some Of the members
of the Committees on Foreign Relations,
before whom the matter will eventually
come, are expressing their sentiments
with remarkable freedom.
Senator Morgan makes no secret of his
desire to acquiesce in the request of the
committee and annex the islands More
significant even than this, however, Is
the statement that Senator Sherman, the
Chairman Of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, In the course of the
executive session, spoke to the same pur-
pose. Mr.. Butler of South Carolina, who
is also q member of the same committee,
said this morning.
"Of course there can be no question of
the great desirability of the islands as a
naval station. Unless they are purchase
as were Alaska and Louisiana, it will be
necessary for Congress to pass regular
act of annexation, as with the
Republic of Texas. Hawaii would then be
q territory, but not, imagine with T
regular territorial government"

Committee, openly favors annexation

THE death of Justice Lamar makes
the fourth vacancy in the ranks of the
supreme court justices during President
Harrisons administration. This is I'M
President Arthur ap-
pointed two associate justices of the SUI
preme court, Gray of Massachusetts and
Blatchford of New York; Mr. Cleveland
appointed two, Chief Justice Fuller and
Mr. Lamar, Mr. Harrison has appointed
three-Brewer of Kansas, Brown of
Michigan and. Shiras of. Pennsylvania.
Justices Field and Harlan are the only
survivors of the supreme court of the
war period. Justice Field is dean of the
court in length of service. His commits
sion bears the signature of Abraham
Lincoln. He has been eligible for re-
tirement on full pay. for several years,
but he has preferred to remain on the
bench. Like many others who have
led active lives Justice Field believes
that idleness would be the death OF
him. He-Is past 70 and very active,
For long time Mr. Field was the only
democrat on the supreme court bench
When Chief Justice Waite died MI
Cleveland was strongly urged to pro
mote Justice Field to the vacancy, but
his choice fell upon Mr. Fuller, whose
name and fame were unknown to most
people. The political complexion of the
highest legal. tribunal in the land is moi
likely to change for many years tt
come. All three of Mr. Harrison's ap
pointees are in the prime of life.

ACCORDING to reliable authority the
heaviest income tax ever levied by q
civilized government was that imposed
upon the people of the United States in
1864. when, perhaps. for the first time
in human history, patriotism was SO
strong passion that men really paid a
tax which they might have evaded.
A. T. Stewards income tax in one year
was three hundred and twelve thousand
dollars, being fifteen per cent. of his in
come. One millionaire of New York
who, alarmed at the long continuation
of the war, so disposed of his wealth
abroad that for one fiscal year it yielded
no income, gave a true account of his
affairs to the collector, and, in accord
ance with the latter's advice, paid in
full a tax estimated on his income of
the year before

THE italian government is extremely
concerned about the measures already
taken and those contemplated In re-
gard to the restrictions upon emigra-
ton to America. Although not openly
avowcd, 1t is understood that this So
hcitude is largely if not chiefly of q
financial character. Thousands of Ital-
ians who have become affluent in Amer
lea have returned to Italy and helped to
increase the prosperity of their native
land. The returning emigrants, too.
have usually become trained and en-
lightened by their contact with Ameri-
can civilization and make better Italian
subjects. 1t is believed that Italy will
demand that at least no discrimination
shall be made against Italian emigrants
to the United States.

engagements made through CORE
spondence are becoming very common,
and frequently we hear of divorce cases
resulting where such alliances have led
to marriage. Stories of this kind are
always floating through the newspaper
press, the ending always being so ro-
mantle that half the silly young men
and maidens in the land have longed
for some excuse to chance upon just
such correspondence Such affairs of
the sort as have not worked to the salts
faction of all concerned seldom find
their way into print, but one of them
recently came by telegraph from Kansas,
the man being an Oklahoma ranchman,
and the maid French governess who
left situation in London and crossed
the ocean only to find that her GORE
spondent had changed his mind, and
that she was stranger in an unknown
land, and almost penniless, too. Some
things in real life turn out just as de-
scribed in stories, but marriage with

to be one of them.

COMMENT IN LONDON.
How the Press Regards the Move TOwar
Annexation.


How the Press Regards the Move Toward
Annexation.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Daily Graphic
says of the Hawaii revolution:
beyond dispute there has been mis-
government in Hawaii, but, except the
lurid stories published in San Francisco,
nothing occurred to our knowledge to
justify the Queens deposition. The rev.
olution seems to be purely the work of a
section of immigrants numbering Mt the
outside 1000. The fact that the revolu-
tionists were in SO great a hurry to petit
ton the United States for annexation
wears an ugly look"
The Morning Post says:
Annexation of Hawaii by the United
States might be regarded as n counter
move to fortifying Esquimalt. The bulk
of Hawaiian trade being with the United
States, we are not surprised that there
should be a desire for closer union with
that power.
The Daily Telegram says:
''The affair wears the aspect of a sue
cessful attempt by American intrigue rs
to subject the existing order of things in
favor, first of themselves, and next, OF
what is impossible, annexation. We
could not allow the United States to an
mex the islands, even if the established
policy at Washington permitted the idea
| to be entertained. This policy, however,
will not permit it.
"The Daily News says:
"The overthrow of the Queen appears
to be an American coup. Hawaii being
the key of the whole group, the Ameri
cans, once they possess it, would not find
difficulty in making themselves masters
| of the others.
Europe, however, has necessities in
the same quarter, Honolulu being the
only coaling station ON the mail rout
between San Francisco and Auckland"

FAVORABLE TO ANNEXATION.
The Foreign Relations Committee Are 6

The Foreign Relations Committee Are q
Unit on the Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The Hawaiian
revolution is the all-absorbing topic of
discussion. In the face of the general
protest stated to have been sent by the
deposed Queen declaring that she
yielded only to the superior force of the
United States, and appealing to the
United States to rev erse it's action and
reinstate her in her authority, it was eX-
pected that the specially chartered
steamer which brought the news of the
revolution would also bring some de-
spatch from Minister John L. Stevens
or Consul General Hy. w. Severance to
the State Department..
If any such advices were brought they
were apparently in Geographic form or
in such a shape as not to be, suitable for
publicity at the present time.
Secre tary of State Foster, when seen
this morning, asserted positively that he
had received no further information.
It was also expected that the COM
mander of the Boston would have trans
united to the Navy Department some de-
tailed report of his vigorous action in
landing his marines and practically tax
ing control of the revolution.
Both Secretary Tracy and Assistant
Secretary Solely, however, state that nc
such report has yet been received at the
Navy Department.
The inference, accordingly, is that de-
tailed reports from these officers are on
their way by mail, and may be expected
