UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS.
4 London Association Will Build Two
 Across the City.

1 Across the City.
 LONDON, Nov. 24. -[Copyright, 1886, by the Associated Press. IA meeting of the Metropolitan District Railway Stock holders association was held here in furtherance of the project for construct ing two deep level tunnels for an up and down service of express electric trains between Earls court and the Man sion House.
 The stockholders have indorsed the action of their directors in approving the scheme. and the necessary powers will be asked for at the coming session of parliament. That they will be granted is a foregone conclusion.
 Parliament has already sanctioned six metropolitan underground projects and two will be sanctioned at the forthcom- ing session. There are still others in the air. all electric. Most of these lines are planned to rectify the extraordinary want of foresight which practically for bade the terminus of the great railways to advance beyond what was in the days of their building, the suburbs of London. The result has ever since been that the 1 traveller consumes as much time in get ting from one great terminus to the other on the other side of the metropo- lis as would suffice to carry him 50 miles on his journey.
 All of these new lines are of necessi- ty buried far below the street level h some cases the arrival and departure platforms of stations are 50 feet below the sidewalk, while the lines descend lower in many places, dividing under ground sewers and underground tun- nels, abutments of the Thames bridges and embankments and under the Thames itself. The engineering feat ures of these projects are therefore the most interesting.
 The great head shield is the most prominent of these. It was first tried ill the construction of the City and South London railway, the first electric underground line in England.
 The eontrivance is an airlock system of tunneling, which is not hindered by any sudden bursts of water that might be encountered while boring. The bor- ing is accomplished by means of steel cylinders, fitted with curved knives, which are forced forward by hydraulic jacks. When the shields have advanced about IS inches the soil inclosed in the cylinders is removed and cast into rings and are built up in segments inside.
 When the shields are again moved forward there is, of course, a span be- tween the outer surface of the rings and the inclosing earth, which is filled by the forcing of the semifluid cement through holes left for that purpose. The tunnels thus consist of iron tubes. These tunnels are constructed at the rate af IS feet per day.
 Passengers are conveyed from the world below to the world above by hy- draulic lifts. The current that works the line is to come from the generating house along copper cable. Each train will consist of six or seven cars. The cars are of American construction.
 The cars will seat 48 passengers-24 on a side-a total of 288 or 836 passen- gers per train. The speed is to be miles an hour, including stops. The service is to be train every two and one-half minutes and the capacity of the lines per annum is 75,0OO,Ooo pas sengers.

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, February 26:-In the
Senate to day Allen of Nebraska re-
turned to the tariff question by re-
ferring to the statements of Morrill,.
Sherman and Plat during the excit.
ing debate yesterday. Allen said he
had believed it was the honest pur
pose of the Republican party to enact
law placing gold and silver on equal
terms. But the debate yesterday de-
veloped that the Republican leaders
under no circumstances would en-
act free coinage act. Under the
circumstances he would submit a
distinct proposition to the chairman
of the Finance Committee and that
he (Alen) would assure sufficient
Populist votes to give a majority in
the Senate if the passage of the tariff
bill was accompanied by free silver
amendment. He criticised the finan-
cial record of Sherman, and said the
Republican party could not escape
from the attitude of declining to re-
monetize silver.
"The Populist Senators are ready
to swallow your nauseous and unjust
tariff measure" said Allen. "if you
will place silver on equal terms with
gold but you will not do it." He had
read from the desk the speech said to
have been delivered by Mckinley,
containing severe criticism against
the characterization of silver.
In conclusion, Allen held up the
bill, exclaiming: @Now, to test your
integrity and good faith, I offer this
bill. 1t is your tariff bill. and l say
to you if you are ready to show good
faith in your assertions for silver and
link it with the tariff bill, we pledge
you six Populist votes"
Baker of Kansas asked if Allen
would agree to deliver six Populist
votes for the tariff bill with an amend.

production of American mines.

table temporarily.
