which they thought fair and reasonable:
All the speakers offered the excuse of
being u~nprepared to address the Beard,
and Miss Warwick caused great laughter
by saying she wished she was home.
President Mulvaney said 1t seemed to
him that If the teachers were as earnest
in this matter as the members of the
they would require no preparation.
He assured them that the Board will do
all Ii IAN TO further their petition and
will Certainly place no obstacles in It's
way.
s Director Birdsall sad he voted for the
budget of appropriations believing that
provision had been made in it for an M
crease OF saEnriess according to the schsd-
uie submitted blythe Teachers Club.
y superintendent Snyder explained that
the amount put In the budget was that
suggested by the Mayor, 1t being thought
to be guided by that instead OF by
the schedule of the Teachers Club.
President Mulvaney said it was very
doubtful If the teachers get even that,
but he advised them to take their good
looks and persuasive appeals to the
Board of Finance as the BOARD of Eduea--
ton is so tied that it can do nothing but
merely request.
superintendent Snyder made a graceful
acknowledgment of the real merit ana
valuable services rendered by the teach
erS of the schools In this city, than Whom
none better nor more faithful can pc
found and expressed the hope that their
efforts will be successful.
Director Egbert also spoke in favor OF
an increase of salaries of the teachers.
Four hundred dollars. he said, is a very
small salary for even the lowest grade,
and in asking for an increase the teachers
ask for nothing but what is just and fair.

JERSEYMEN IN CONGRESS
Mr.. Henderson May Pro-
mote Some Members
on Committees.

WASHINGTON, tune 90, 1S99.-There is
naturally some interest in New Jersey
circles as to where the members of the
Congressional delegation will be placed
on committees by the new Speaker. Had
Mr.. Reed remained In the chair, there
might nave been a few changes, with the
probabilities ~favoring the retention OF
most of the present advantageous posi-
tons, or gaining others equally good. 1t
is not believed from his u~tterances that
Mr.. Henderson will adopt a radical pol
icy of change in any respect. On the
contrary, he is quite likely to keep Speak
err Reeds appointees in, and fill up the
vacancies with the best new material at
command.
In the late organization the two Oldest
members in service, Messrs. Gardner and
Loudenslager held such eligible chair
manships as those of Labo and Pensions,
and Judge Stewart, besides getting q
small Craftsmanship, kept his place on the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce Com-
mittee. Mr.. Parker was promoted 10
membership on the Judiciary Committee,
a place thoroughly congenial to a lawyer.
Mr.. Howell secured what he desired,
membership on the Public Buildings ana
Grounds Committee. Mr.. Fowler was Wen
placed, for his principal appointment, Oh
the Banking and Currency Committee.
The new Speaker will not nave to pro-
vide leading positions for Mr.. P1tneys
successor. But on the other hand he Will
have more such places to bestow else
where. 1t is a question whether New
Jersey members will retain all they had
under Speaker Reed. And yet in gong
over the committee list, and recollectIns
that a good many old members were NOT
reelected, one does not see where a New
Jersey, man could be dropped, if the con-
seryative policy is rigidly adhered to.
Thus. for instance, Mr.. L~oudenslageF was
a member of the Naval Affairs Commit
tee. With Mr.. Hilborn and others not re-
elected, it would be natural to suppose
the reelected members would not be dis
turbed. The same is true of the Banklng
and Currency Committee, where Mr..
Fowler will be advanced. if not selected
for chairman, and the Commerce Com
mittee. unless Judge Stewart should ask
for another assignment. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Howell will wish to remain on
the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds.
DR.. George H. Bridgeman. of Elizabeth,
Minister of the United States to Bollvla,
was in the city a short while yesterday,
and called at the State Department.

TEACHERS SALARIES.
Ladies Representing All
School Grades Urge Their
Claims on Board Of
Education.

The meeting of the Board of Educatlon
,ast night was attended by a large dele
pation of lady teachers of the pubic
schools as a committee from the Jersey
civ Teachers Club, the object of whose
v;sit was to endorse the appeal made by
the club for an Increase of the salaries
ar All the teachers of the public schools
and urge the Board to take the necessary
action to secure if possible favorable ac-
tion by the Board of Finance Every
grade In the school was repres ented.
The speakers were Mrs. Heating, OF
School No. 6; Miss Horsley, Of No.
Annex: Miss Warwick. of School No. 70,
and Miss Ennis. of School No. l.
All emphasized the fact that they are
asking for an increase of salaries Of all
the teachers, not for any select. class or
grade. They spoke of the long and ardu-
Gus service many have rem dered, for
which their present salaries are not a
lust or sufficient remuneration They did
not assume to dictate to the Board. but
respectfully asked that their appeal re-
ceive due consideration. Ne " York and
other places nave recognized tine merit of
their teachers, and they belle we'd that now
or never they must ask for a like recog-
milton from this city. T'aey expressed
their belief that the Boar6I of Education
can do a great deal towa' IDS getting the
Board Of Finance to max ! the necessary
appropriation 10 cover this ) increase asked

MANHATTAN TUNNEL PLANS
Leading Features of the Work
Outlined--Tracks to Be
Under the Centre of
Chambers Street.

Tittle has been heard of the Manhattan
Tunnel Company, which was Incorporate
cd at Albany on May II with a nomina
capital of $40, 0G0, until Tuesday OF this
week. when an application for a franchise
for a route beginning IN Chambers street
and extending under the North River,
was made in behalf of the company to
the Municipal Assembly. The identity of
the financial interests behind the project
is still a closely guarded secret, but Fred
eric Martin Lande. who has drafted the
plans of the tunnel, yesterday outlined IL
some detail the leading features OF me
work.
Mr.. Lande's plans, which have, Deem
submitted to and favorably passed upon
by several of the most noted engineers III
the world, contemplate the construction
of a tunnel by the SHELF syster,-or,
rather. a modification of that system. by
which more rapid progress can De maue
and the expense lessaned. This tunnel,
which is to be partly ellipticdl IN shape,
is to be made just large enough TO permit
the comfortable running OF cars on Two
standard gauge tracks.
The location of the terminus on TINS SIDE
cannot yet be learned. On the New YORK
side the tracks will be under the centre
of Chambers street, and about thirty feet
below the street level. There Is TO be a
terminal platform, about seven hundred
feet in length, running from a point one
hundred feet east of West Broadway TO
one hundred feet west of Greenwich
street. The underground station of which
this platform will form a part will re-
semble in appearance the arcade of a
modern office building. 1t is intended to
arrange for access to the platform
through several stores in Chambers street,
moving stairways, perhaps. carrying the
passengers up and down, and at West
Broadway and Greenwich street, it is ex-
pected. elevators will be installed which
will convey passengers directly from the
| elevated railway stations to the under
ground roads station. There is to be no
t%earing-up of Chambers street, as the
| company will sink a shaft at some con-
yenient point and carry on ALI its excava-
ton from there. The tunnel will contain
| conduit for electric light and power
| wires.
1t is estimated that the cost of the en-
| terprise will be about $500. 900, and that
| about 300, GOO passengers a day will be con-
yeyed. The cars will be equipped with the
multipIe-unit system of electricity, each
| car having it's own motor; but it is
planned that during the rush hours ten
car trains will be run, which will make
the passage from terminal to termina in
| four minutes. The work of construction,
it is said, could be accomplished in from
eighteen to twenty months.
