LONGEST TUNNEL IL rar. WORLD
Pennsylvauia Railroad Plans 20 Bore
Seven Miss Through Mountain.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
eontemplates the construction of the long
est tunnel in the world. For years 1t has
been rumorea that the famous horseshoe
curve would have TO be sacrificed to the
growing demands for a shorter and less
PERCEPTIONS line between Altoona, Pa,
and Pittsburg. The proposition now Is to
avoid both the circuit and the grade by
tunneling under the mountains at the
points where, both east and west the
worst of the curves and the grade are
encountered. Chief Engineer Brown, who
has been figuring ON this proposition for
long time, few days ago sent his COM
plete scheme TO the 4ompany's offices IN
Philadelphia. IT. tunnel will be about
seven miles long.

President Roosevelt's first message to
Congress viii break one Of the time-hon-
ored traditions Of the republic. 1t will
be short. 1t will not contain 2 long :
view of the detailed work of the various
departments of the government For more
than a hundred years Presidents have fol-
lowed the example, first set by George
Washington, of making their annual mes
sages sort of history of the government
during the preceding year. In many m
stances more than BALI Ci the space hlled
by message has been occupied with
summary of the reports of heads of de-
partments-a repetition in condensed fern
of the same facts and conclusions those
officials had themselves submitted either
to Congress or to the President. Mr..
Roosevelt sees no necessity for this sort
of thing. Fl will eschew the review,
confirming his mention of the reports Of
the members of his cabinet to those sub
jects about which he wishes to make rec
concentrations. In this new departure
President Roosevelt hopes not only to
shorten his message, but to make it what
a modern message intended for the read
ing of nearly 100000 Americans should
be--a compact, direc., modern document,
Win iHOuSut anu oA@N
not incumbered with dry detailed re-
view, which is read, if read at all, as
matter of duty and not of choice.

Four hundred and ninety-fye persons,
firms and corporations want 100000
from the United States for damages done
to their property in Cuba during the last
Instruction against Spain. The last
claims have been filed with the Cuban
claims commission, and an examination
of them shows that most of them think
the United States will pay high prices
for low commodities. The largest single
one is SALT ,69S.S5, which was present
ed by Cuban sugar company Incorporate
ed under the laws of the State of New
York. From this sum the claims run
down to $1,000 or $S,000 although such
small mounts are the exception, the av-
erage claim, not counting those filed on
account of the disaster to the bttleship
Maine, being between 100000 and $780,
900. Most of the claimants evidently
think Uncle Sam is about the easiest
picking" the world ever knew. The
statements they have FLED with the com.
mission setting forth the damages they
have suffered might well rank as humor-
Gus literature. An examination of some
Of them furnishes more entertainment
than MARK Twain's" sketches.
