ON A PROJECTED TERMINAL SCHEME.

HARBOR LINE BOARD HEARS ARGUMENTS
ON PROJECTED TERMINAL SCHEME.
The Harbor Line Board yesterday gave hearing
TO Edward F. Cragiu and representatives OF the
New-Jersey Riparian Commission regarding Mr..
Cragins proposition to make island on the
shoals between Ellis and Bedows islands, upon
which elevators may be erected ocean steamship
slips established and piers for the deepest draught
liners provided
Mr.. Cragin also proposes to deepen the channel on
each side of the proposed island in order that
ocean steamships may pass up in safety. Should
the grant be approved by the Harbor Line Board 1t
is said by Mr.. Cragin that the Central Railroad OF
New-Jersey will extend its tracks across the Com
munipaw Cove which is now being filled in. to the
new island This would enable passengers this
line to step off the train and take the steam
ships right at the piers.
Colonel Robert asked If the granting of the ap-
plicaton would interfere with infringe upon the
holdings of rips rian owners, whose land had been
granted previously by the State Mr.. Record said
that it would not, deep channel would be
established on each side of the new island.
John d. Herman said that it necessary to
the maintenance of New-York's supremacy in the
commercial world to extend in every way possible
the ports terminal pier ard wharf facilities.
Commerce and steamship lines leav-
ing New-York because of lack of these facilities"

nature are imperatively necessary to care for the

ork with the proposed canal extension ana It's
growth of traffic, which has made it the second
great port commercially in the world There is
immediate demand commercially for the establish
ment of this island. The port charges of New-York
at present enormous 1t is nonsense for to
spend millions canal extension TO neglect proper
terminal facilities. New-York has utterly failed
to comprehend this situation and to make adequate
provisions for increased traffic.
Amasa Thornton said Mr.. Cragn had the capital
ready go ahead with the improvements proposed.
Chief Engineer A. Is. Fry of the Treasury De-
partment said the Department desired at least
fifty-foot channel between the two islands, owing

Southwesterly portion of Ellis Island.
James b. Vredenburgh, representing the Pennsyl-
ment of the island, on the ground that it would
be serious obstruction to the railroad Companys

as scheme which the Riparian Commission is
ashamed OF and of which it wishes TO get a
spectacle Endorsement"

BRYAN AND THE G. 4. r..

The Kansas City Journal thinks
Mr.. Bryan should improve his oppor
tunity while addressing the Grand
encampnent at Chicago this month
to affirm or deny his authorship of
the following editorial. which APP
peared in the Omaha World-Hera1d
while he was the responsible editor
of that paper
Mr.. Bryan has never denied re-
sponsibihty for the editorial, nor has
he denied that he entertains the SEN
timents expressed in the article. AT
ter calling attention to the fact that
the forthcoming session of congress
would be called upon to appropriate
not less than $1S6, 900, 900 of which
$50, 1000, 900 was a deficiency for pen
sions, the editorial continued:
s'This tremendous sum would in
itself be enough to run a reasonable
government. One would not com
plain if it were an honest debt, be-
cause it was never earned by any act
of patriotism OF heroic service. The
government is held up and despoiled
of no mean portion of this, and it
seems helpless to defend itself One
cannot help being curious to know
how many more years it will take to
exhaust the generation which feels
itself injured by the war. It is safe
to say that never did generation
display such remarkable longevity"

The idea Of n FESTIVAL of Republic

the Republican national committee

nittee. Festivals will be held
throughout the United States from

will be in the nature of publications.
over the prosperity enjoyed during
the four years of President NIcKin-
ley's administration.
The committee at its meeting de-
reaching the conclusion that it would
be one of the most effective of cam
paign features. The idea of holding
sort of political circus first origin
ated in the mind of Congressman
Lorimer, of one of the Chicago con
gressional districts in 1898. In that
year he carried out the scheme and
found it most effective in furnishing
some life to what is often a dry polit-
zeal meeting, as well attracting
voters and interesting them IN the
issues of the campaign.
D. W. Mulvane and E. G. Culp, of
Kansas, laid before the committee a
plan for the holding of prosperity
festivals" in Kansas and other West
ern states. The members of the ma
tional committee familiar with Hi
nois politics recognize the plan as be
ing on the same lines as the Lorimer
idea, only mere amplified and en-
belished. It was decided that what
would be good thing for Kansas
sas would also be of service in other
states, hence the action of the com
inittee.
Arrangements are being made to
secure colossal cinematograph that
will turn out huge moving pictures

this immense instrument, which will
be taken to the festivals Of prosperity
the participants will be enabled to
see wheat fslds in harvest time, busy
factories in operation, ships carrying
the products of the country
cross the oceans and many other IL
Illustrations of the prosperous things
being enjoyed.
These pictures of actual scenes will
be- interspersed between political
speeches in various cities of the coun-
try and will be shown at the festivals
in the smaller towns where it is the
in tention to make the festivals as
much of an attraction as a successful
country fair. In some places the en-
tertainment will conclude with a dis
play of fireworks in which a golden
tree of prosperity will be shown. It
is the intention of the committee to
interest the state committees in the
idea of holding festivals in all parts
Of their different states
