TUNNEL THEORY REVIVED.

New York, Aug. 5.-The Hudson riv-
er tunnel project to connect New York
and New Jersey has been revived. The
plans are now being perfected to re-
sumo construction which was dropped
five years ago. The first step win be
the filing of foreclosure papers by the
law firm that represented the English
bondholders, against the tunnel prop
erty: 1t will be sold and bid in by the
stockholders and then everything will
be legally cleared for a reorganization
and the issue of bonds. Engineers
say that an expenditure of 81, 500, 900
Will complete the work. Four million
dollars have already been spent be-
lore the work was abandoned at
whlch time there were 1916 feet of
complete tunnel going east from the
smart in Jersey City. One thousand
teet OF this distance extends east of
tne middle of the Hudson river. In adj

vices brought by the Australia When
the annexation proposition was MADE

cipal clauses was that Chinese imml-

this direction the Hawaiian govern
ment has decided to issue no more

WANTS TO SELL OUT.

New York, Aug. 1.-The Journal
says:
Because of what he considers an ex-
cessive assessment by the authorities
of Mt. Pleasant township, in which his
Tarrytown property is located, William
Rockefeller has placed the property on
the market. He sold his summer place
at Greenwich, Conn, about eight years
ago, on account of what he claimed
was excessive taxation, and is now said
to be looking toward Newport as a re-
treat from taxation.
Mr.. Rockefeller is now in Europe.
He sailed on June 80, and a real es-
tate agent of Tarrytown. who has
been acting as agent for Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, in contesting the assessment valu-
alton of a year ago, now announces
that before sailing, Mr.. Rockefeller
authorized the sale of his property for
sS5O,000 The assessed valuation is
$2,533,s05. That of a year ago was
$l,O0O,00O. The purchase price was
$l25,O00 and the Improvements have
cost about $350,000.

advent will be Nyack Heights where,

DIsTILLERs ORGANIZE.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-According to sto-
ry printed in the Times-H Herald this
morning the efforts of leading distil-
lers and distributors to form a COM
bination to control the production and
price of spirits have at last been sue
cessful. The final details of the plan
of agreement, it is said, have just been
decided upon, though frequent meet
ings have been held, mainly in Chica-
go, New York and Cincinnati during
the last six months.
The combination is on the per CEN
tage allotment plan, with special
rules, regulations and forfeitures inn
posed on the distributors. Each dis
tiller producing more than his per CEN
tage allotment pays monthly into the
pool a certain sum on the surplus.
Each distiller producing less than his
allotment draws out a similar sum for
each gallon short. The executive and
arbitration committees include in their
membership every important interest
in the country and will control the new
association.
Samuel Woolny, who is here, said:
"The object of the association is to
conserve and manage the spirits in
dustry. The agreement has been sign
ed by everybody in the business and
1t is such that it is likely to stick. The
nature of the agreement 1 cannot de-
fine other than to say that the ASSOC
citation is an entirely voluntary one.

the Herald from Rio Janeiro, via Bue-
nos Ayres says:
The lates official advices from Can
udos state that 1000 government SOL

James H. Allen, of the latter COM
pany, when asked If there was cor
ner, replied: This is the end of the
cotton season of 1862, and spot cot
ton is mighty scarce at all the leading
points between New Orleans and ST.
Louis. We have over 5000 bales in the
warehouses and we are holding on to
it, as nearly half of that cotton is two
years old. 1t is well seasoned and then
the crop of two years ago was finer
than last years growth"
