that the latter shall, after the tunnel is
finished and cars are running. act as the
distributing agency of passengers con-
veyed through the submarine shafts.
1t was pointed cut that without trac-
tion system TO connect with the tunnel
cars on the Jersey side the traffic would
be hardly worth while seeking.
1t is accordingly provided in the con-
tract that when the tunnel is completed
the tunnel company shall furnish cars for
operation in it, but the traction company
shall do practically everything else in its
operation
The trolley company will supply the
motive power and the lighting current
The cars will of necessity have to be
smaller than any used on the traction
company's system. That is due to the
fact that the old tunnel is too small to
permit tracks of standard gauge to be laid
through it.
The traction company will assume the
active management of the tunnel cars,
and the cars of the various lines to ter
inmate at the tunnels jersey end will
receive passengers from the under-river
cars.

the state of Georgia $4,000 for supplies

The government has returned all the

loaned have also been sent back. The
amount now owed is for provisions, tel

has not been collected because all the
necessary vouchers have not been sent
in. Some of the officers who made the
purchases did not secure proper vouch-
ers for the articles and others who are
in the Philippine islands with the
army have made no returns to the
state.

A FLOOD OF PENSION BILLS.
No Limit to the Superintendent Flow of
the Bounty Fountain.

Even the liberal chairman of the
senate committee on pensions stands
aghast at the food of special pension
bills with which both branches of
congress have been inundated during
the current session. Chairman Gal
fingers commmittee has been asked to
consider and report upon nearly 5000
special laws designed to grant pen
sions to persons who had failed to Sc
cure them from the pension bureau.
So complaisant has congress been in
regard to measures of this sort that
the old soldiers have been advised by
pension attorneys to ignore the pen
sion Office and make their application
direct to the law-making power. The
new Corners in the ranks of bounty
seekers have been materially increas-
ed by the results of the Philippine
campaigning, and the problem OF keep
ing the pension appropriation down is
still difficult. Notwithstanding the
heavy inroads of death upon the civil

lition of the volunteers, as accomplish

M'ARTHUR LET'S THE
CAT OUT OF THE BAG.
GENERAL IN PHILIPPINES REPORTS
THAT PACIFICATION is SLOW.
Things Are Not as the Administration
Represents Them to Be. May
Cause Split in the Re-
publican Party.

A Washington dispatch says much
comment IS being made by the sena-
tors and representatives on the re-
markable discrepancy between the
Taft commissions and General Mac
Arthur's reports as to the condition in
the Philippines.
Secretary Root has sent to the SEN
ate among the correspondence relating
to the deportation to Guam of A Ma
bini, who while prisoner of war was
found to be maintaining a correspond
ence with insurgents engaged in arm
United States, dispatch from Gener-
al Macarthur, dated December 18th
last, which says:
"Our expectations, based on the re-
suits of the presidential election, have
not been realized"
The report of the Taft commission
dated November Both, almost month
before, said
"Since the result of the national
election was announced there has been
great decrease in insurgent activ-
ity."
General Macarthur says in his mes
sage:
'The progress of pacification, while
apparent to me, is still very slow. The
condition is very inheXible and is like
" to become chronic"
The commission says:
From all information we can get it
seems clear that the great majority of
the people long for peace and are en-
tirely willing to accept the establish
ment of government under the SUI
premacy of the United States"
These and the other differences of
opinion between the members of the
commission and military government
in the Philippines are seized upon by
the anti-lmperialists and they propose
to call the attention of congress to
them. They will probably furnish
much further argument for Senator
Spooner's proposed investigation of
the Philippine affairs by congress
sional committee during the coming
summer.
Senator Spooner's determination to
push the congressional Investigation
of the Philippine war, for which he
made motion some time ago and
after which he has brought out testi-
mony from General Macarthur which
practically impeacAes the Taft com
mission report, which was evidently
made to suit Mckinley, emphasizes
the split in the republican party.
Mr.. Spooner has been considered
modest man, and has not hitherto
pushed himself much, but in this in
yestigation he has behind HIM the
large and respectable element of the
republican party which does not APP
prove of the Philippine war and Sc
verely condemns the policy of McKin-
lev.
