NO FIGHT OVER TUNNEL
Believed Pennsylvania and New York
Central Have Working Agreement

New York, Dec. 21.-It is not be-
leved in railroad circles that the
Pennsylvania's underground plans
for establishing a terminal station IN
New York city will be hindered by
the New York Central. which has
long held the field here. One we'll.
informed railroad official predicted
that, so far from there being in
augurated any war of reprisal or
revenge on the part OF the Central
there would, instead, develop some
close working agreement between
these two giant lines. From this
0fhclals point of view harmonious
OF interests between the Pennsvl-
Vanla and the Central would be of
lncalculable advantage to both.
Declared just now from Long
| island, the Central might reach that
territory by means of the projected
| Wards island bridges, and the two
lines, pooling issues, might find
great mutual advantage in such
unity. He believed that the Penn
sylvania would benefit by getting IN
| touch with the Centrals powerful
| eastern connections, the New York.
New Haven and Hartford and the
Boston and Maine 1t may further
| profit by having the Central for an
ally instead Of an enemy, for that
powerful corporation has admittedly
large legislative influence, and it is
conceivable that it might employ
| this power to Obstruct the plans of
| the Pennsylvania, though it is not
: likely that it could Illustrate them
altogether.
In Brooklyn and on Long island
j everyone is talking Of the benefits
that will accrue to that populous
region when the new interhorougb
system Of communication has been
| established. William H. Baldwin
! Jr., president of the Long Island rail
road said that application would be
made to the state railroad commits
! sion before the first of the year for
approval Of the filed plans, and that

mission will have to be obtained for
the submarine bridges under the
rivers, but that is considered a minor
matter.

went on, Il don't think much of the
job myself, but it's soft enough. Amer

they've started. Most of their crews
are foreigners, but they want Ameri-

He gets $4,000 year AID his keep,
and the yacht is in commission only
about five months of the year. The
rest of the time she's in harbor and
the skipper lives in the port and looks
after her.
There's whole colonies of yacht
shippers and mates in some harbors
during the winter season. With moth
ing to do but draw their wages and
keep an eye on their boats. Even on
the small sailboats, if the owner goes
in for racing, he wants a good man
and will pay a fancy price for the
right sort. Yacht work spoils a man
for other sailing work, though. It's
too soft a snap. The ordinary man
isn't good for anything else after he's
had a dose Of it."
Doesn't the navy appeal to our
boys more than the ordinary sailors

Yes, the navy snaps up the few
boys who do want to go to sea. The

CHANCES FOR LADS AFLOAT.
The Way Boys Should Begin to
Achieve Command of Ships.

! Achieve Command of Ships.
Bowery and along the New York
wharves, but comparatively few of the
lads are Americans. The American
| boy doesn't run away to sea today. In
the first place, few American ships
| carry boys, and then steamers have to
a large extent driven out the sailing
vessels, even from coast trade. and
there's not enough romance about a
steamship to inf1ame the juvenile
mind. Your real boy wants bellying
sails and straining masts and wild
hazards up alOft in bad weather. At
least he thinks that's what he wants
when he has read the fatal number of
sea stories and has reached the run
ning-away age. What's the use of
running away to scrape paint and
clean metal on a steamboat? One
might as well stay at home and white
wash the back fence and polish the
| fence and polish the front door knob.
! On the whole, it seems rather a pity
| that the sea dreams do not thrive in
the brains of present-day young
America. A boy may do things much
| less rational than going to sea in
American ships, even though we
! haven't England's merchant marine
and a paternal government isn't keep
ing watchful eye on Yankee ship
boys, as the board of trade does on
the English apprentices.
There's no use in boys making
his sea debut on a steamer unless he
has been through a training ship ex-
perience and is we'll on his way to an
officers berth. The officers Of our
steamers have had their early training
on sailing vessels, have earned their
able-bOdied seaman title fairly by hard
knocks and broad sea experience.
Most of them went to sea as lads in
the old days when modern preiudices
hadn't overthrow the tradition that
the only way to make a man and a
sailor of ship boy was to abuse him
roundly during most of his waking
hours.
They made their record as seamen
and wandered the world over before
the mast. Some Of them were in trad
ing vessels. Others were on whalers.
Many belonged to the ranks of the
New England fishermen, who. for sea
craft, yield the palm to no sailor of
the world. They rose to officers
rank, many of them being captains
CT small boats. Then they drifted
into steamboat service, where the pay
was good, the trips short, the food
fair, the life easy. Then, as now, it
was easy for competent Yankee with
decent record to get a good berth;
for though even American ships are |
today forced to ship crews composed !
almost entirely of foreigners, the of |
ficers are usually Americans and the |
ship companies are eager to get |
sailors.
Tive only two Yankees on my
ship" said the captain of a vessel be-
longing to one of the most prosperous
American coast lines, "but they are
worth the rest of the crew. The
Swedes and Norwegians are good men.
but they don't think quickly. They
aren't the men for emergencies. I've
been at sea ever since l was IA, and
I've seen sailors all over the world.
