WILLIAM II. BALDWIN HOME AGAIN.
THE PRESIDENT Of THE LONG ISLAND ROAD RE
TURNS FROM A TOUR OF INSPECTION
OF FOREIGN TUNNELS.

OF FOREIGN TUNNELS
Among the passengers on the steamer ST. Louis.
which arrived Friday night. was William II.
Baldwin president OF the Long Island Railroad.
Mr. Baldwin spent more than two months abroad
inspecting ;he various tunnels In European cities.
His mission had particular reference to the pro-
posed tunnel under the East River and the de-
preston OF tho tracks Of the Long Island Rail-
road. While in England he went through all the
tunnels In London and Liy>soool. with the differ
ent engineers.
Mr.. Baldwin thinks that the two important tun-
mel. that bear upon the problem confronting the
residents OF Brooklyn and New-York are the
Blackwell tunnel. under the Thames and the Cen
trail London tunnel The latter. with It's stations
at frequent intervals, IL similar to the proposed
construction between New-York and Brooklyn.
MIR. Baldwin thinks that the railroad service on all
the frst-cass roads In the United States is In ad-
vance OF the best on the English roads. which are
concededly the best In the Old World
He feels confident that all distractions will be
removed within few months and then the work
Will go on.
