the Park-ave. tunnel. although the disaster was
due 10 New-York Central managernent. as the
train was then directly under New-York Central
control
This plan Of using the Pennsylvania terminal
has been under discussion for some time. The
Hongested condition of the New York Central
tracks between Mott Haven and the Grand Cen
tral Station has been a powerful incentive to
those working upon plan of relief There is
not any more room in the Park-ave tunnel and
the yards of the New-York Central than that
road needs for itself The New Haven under its
lease has to be cared for, however. and until
the plan of diverting the New-Haven traffic to
the new station was touched upon there seemed
10 be no relief for the New-Haven. although
various plans had been discussed. including the
use Of the Second-ave. elevated line for soms
OF its incoming trains
Just what will be done as 10 the route is not
yet determined, although the plan which has
received most favorable consideration contem-
plates the union OF the New-Haven with the
Pennsylvania in Long Island City by way OF
Wards Island. thence through the new Penn
sylvania tunnel 10 the Thirty-third-st station
in Manhattan. Other routes are under consid-
Grafton. but the question will be decided in due
time.
Some time ago The Tribune pointed out that
the interests controlling the New-York Central
and the Pennsylvania acting jointly were
dominant in the New-Haven. It was said at
the time that it probable that in the
future the New-Haven would be divided be-
tween the New-York Central and the Pennsvl-
vania in way satisfactory to both railroads
This is regarded a development of the
future, however, and the immediate question
is an arrangement which will afford change
OF route for the New-Haven and the use OF the
new Pennsylvania terminal. II is said that the
New Haven will be able 10 get an exceptionally
satisfactory arrangement with the Pennsyl-
vania
Just at present the through traffic OF the
Pennsylvania to New-England is much i'm
peded. II is necessary to transport passengers
entering Jersey City for New-EngIand points
on floats to Mott Haven. where a junction with
the New-Haven is effected. Cars so hoated
around are delayed materially IL is believed
that the new arrangement viii greatly assist
both the New Haven and the Pennsylvania in
quickly handling trains from and 10 New-Eng-
land points.
II was stated yesterday that William K Van
derbilt and directors OF the New-YOTz Cen
trail were heartily in accord with the plan. as
II would give great relief in the Park-ave- tun-
mel and the ,New-York Central yards. with
drawing heavy percentage Of t-afhc from that
badly congestsd section.

NEW-HAVEN IN P. R. R. STATION
RELIEF FOR THE CENTRAL TUNNEL AND YARDS WHEN THE
NEW TERMINAL IS FINISHED.


The New-York Nev-Haven and Hartford
Railroad will the station of the Penn
sylvania Railroad in Thirty third-st. as a ter
minal for many. if not all. of its trains. when
that station is finished Plans for the use Of the
Pennsylvania terminal by the New-Haven are
in an undeveloped state as yet but representa-
tives OF the two railroads have been in consulta-
tion, and the terminal station will be built
with the idea of affording space for the New
Haven trains. Two years, or possibly longer,
must elapse before this new station will be
finished, and there is plenty Of time for complet-
ing details The only fact determined upon so
far is that the Pennsylvania station viii be the
terminal of the New-Haven. What trackage
rights, tunnels. elevated structures and changes
of route will be necessary to enable the New
Haven to get into the new Pennsylvania ter
minal are yet to be determined but these details
will be adjusted and the Grand Central Station
will be abandoned as a New-Haven terminal
for at least great part of it's train service
This change in terminal facilities does not
mean rupture between the NewYork Central
and the New-Haven. In fact. the plans under
consideration are being studied by the controll
in, interests in each of the three roads interest
ed-the Pennsylvania, the New-Haven and the
New-York Central-and whatever decision is
reached will be entirely satisfactory TO all
The relations between the New-Yor< Central
and the Pennsylvania of the closest and
most friendly character. They own Jointly the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and other prop
critics When the Pennsylvania purchased the
Long Island. the New-York Central was asked
70 take a half interest. The Central did not care
TO do so for reasons satisfactory to itself When
the New-York Central leased the Boston and
Albany the les Sc was not entered into until A J.
Cassatt president of the Pennsylvania, visited
the offices of the New-York Central and under
stood the provisions of the lease. Therefore,
when the subject of the New-Haven using the
Pennsylvania station a terminal was
broached the New-York Central interests were
consulted and an harmonious agreement is TO be
effected. II may be stated that interests domi-
nant in the New-Yorb Central and the Pennsyl
vania respectively. but acting jointly and har
mOniously dictate tire policy of the New Haven
to-day.
The New-York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad is nothing more than a tenant of the
New-York Central in the of the Grand
Central Station. The New-Haven pays rental
to the Central for a partial use of the station.
The New Haven delivers trains to the New
York Central d Mott Haven and pays for track
age rights TO the New-Yo Central for trains
brought into the Grand Central Station through
the Park-a tunnel. 1t will be recalled that II

SENATOR PROCTOR NOT AN ADVOCATE OF
ANNEXATION.


Burlington. Vt, March 15.-In a letter 10 The
Free Press" Senator RedfeId Proctor denounces
as a fraud a letter recently published and at
tributed 10 him. favoring annexation as the So
|, luton of the Cuban problem. The Senator de-
clares that he wrote such letter. and that Il
wholly misrepresents his position. He says:
on my return from Cuba four years ago this
all / said about annexation: I not in
favor Of annexation: not that 1 would apprehend
any particular trouble from IT, but because II is
tongue and without any strong American ele-
ments.
II the objection stated in that sentence wers
removed" continues Mr.. Proctor. there are
other reasons Why We now cannot properly adj
vocate annexation. We have promised Cuba in
dependence. Her government is soon 10 be in
augurated We must keep our promise strictly
and give her fair opportunity for self-govern-
uent So long as she complies with the require-
ments Of the Platt amendment We have no right
to interfere in her affairs II she succeeds in es-
tablishing a stable and well conducted govern
have no occasion to interfere. II at any time
part of this country, they will say So and then
them into the Union or not II is plainly for
them TO say first that they wish to come Until
they express that wish il does not come with
good grace from us, and it is not fair in view
Of promise 10 them, TO talk about annexa-
ton II is neither good morals. good manners
nor good policy. We must first give them the
fair chance for self government we have guar
anteed. and TO bring any pressure 10 bear upon

London. March Is. l a. m.-War news has re-
mained suspiciously light since J rrd Methuen's
defeat and release Military men do not conceal
their anxiety TO hear what has become Of Colo
mel Grenfells column, which waiting for
Lord Methuen's force south of Lichtenburg, and
was exposed TO an attack by De La Rey after
the capture of the convoy. They assume that
Colonel Grenfe1 has either been strongly rein
forced or has retired on Itchtenburg or Pot
chefstroom and they forecast the concentration
of the British forces in the Western Transvaai,
since the presence of a strong driving column
is longer required in the former hunting
ground of De Wet and Steyn.
While the censor obviously suppresses details
Of this kind. there will be a feeling Of relief
among military men when the safety Of Colonel
GrenfelTs column is assured.
Lord Wolseley's departure for South Africa is
still explained as due TO private reasons. and
devoid of military political significance. His
literary work on his memoirs VIII probably oe
facilitated by two long voyages.
Lady Methuen's return 10 South Africa on the
day Of Ier landing at Southampton is one Of the
most pathetic episodes Of the recent history Of
the British military misadventure
The Queen Regent Of Spain has called upon
senor sagasta to reorganize the Cabinet. as vas

Forecasts of Mr. Wyndhsms Irish Land bill

ants into small landowners. T. W. Russell who
was responsible for the last land purchase
scheme will be net half way. His indictment
! of the Land Court will be justified, but the com
pulsory principle will be rejected
While the reform procedure will be welcomed
as release from litigation. It is doubtful
| whether anything short of compulson will clear

! tematized agrarian agitation upon which the
| Home Rule movement has always been de-
| pendent.
