UNDERGROUND TERMINALS.
President Cassatt of Pennsylvania
Railroad Announces the Plan.

President Cassatt OF Pennsylvania
Railroad Announces the Plan.
New York, Dec. IA. j. Cassatt,
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. to-day made public his plan
for securing a New York terminus for
his company. He made the following
statement to the Associated Press:
1.-THE Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is now prepared to carry out its
policy, long since adopted, of extending
its railroad into New York city, there
in establishing a suitable passenger
terminus for the accommodation of
the public. To accomplish this on a
comprehensive plan, the Long Island
Extension Railroad Company will
withdraw it's application for powers tc
construct it's terminal railroad, and in
lieu of such independent construction,
it is now proposed to build, under the
charter of the Pennsylvania-New York
Extension Railroad Company just or
ganized, and New Jersey Railroad
Company, about to be organized, a
through underground connection be-
tween the Long Island Railroad and
the Pennsylvania lines in New Jersey,
and to construct a proper and commo-
dious joint underground terminal sta
tion in New York city for the Penn
sylvania and Long Island railroads.
After years of exhaustive study,
the conclusion has been reached that
a tunnel line, operated by electricity,
is in every way the most practical,
economical and the best, both for the
interests of the railroad company and
of the city. The line as adopted will
traverse the city of New York from the
Hudson river to the East river, and be
underground throughout, and at such
depth as not to interfere with future
construction of subways by the city
on all its avenues, similar to the one
now building along Fourth avenue

which both the coastwise and West In

Orders for coal. both throughout

find themselves unable to make ship
ments owing to the scarcity of coal at
tidewater. This condition, in a great
measure, is due to as carcity of cars
to carry the mineral from the mines.
Vessel owners. becoming aware of the
existing conditions at this port, are
sending their vessels south to New

England ports. hoping to get return
cargoes in better time. Only a few days

and other Chiefs.
Manila, Dec. 1.-THE Women's Peace
League. organized under the leader
ship of Senorita Poblete, a Filipino,
has transmitted letters, with the per-
mission of Gen. Chaffee, urging peace
upon the insurgent Gen. Malvar and
other Filipino chiefs.
These letters remind the Filipino
leaders in the field that the war has
destroyed innumerable homes and de-
vastated large territories, all of which,
while it abundantly proves the tenac-
ity of the insurgents and their faith
in their cause, does not remove the
fact that the operations of American
soldiers throughout the islands daily
demonstrate the resolution of the peo-
pie of the United States to make their
sovereignty respected throughout the
archipelago. The league urges the lead
ers to make peace to avoid greater
evils.
The Women's League has received
a cablegram to the effect that the
Filipino Gen. Lukban, who is in Sa-
mar, is pleading for a discontinuance
of hostilities.

1t stands to-day, before the nation
