nallroad-A Denial OF the Report
That MOntauIt Point Terminal for
Transatlantic steamship ! line Is Planned

THE Sun learned yesterday that the
Pennsylvania Railroads plans for sub
terranean railroading include a second
tunnel under the East River in addition
to the tunnels already announced from
Jersey City, under Manhattan Island TO
Long Island, The tunnel now projected
will extend under the East River from As
toria TO some convenient point on the main
land, and will be built for the purpose Of
connecting the Long Island Railroad with
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
road. thus giving the Pennsylvania an
outlet to New England.
BY means Of this tunnel the Pennsyl-
vania will be able to carry passengers
from the extreme West to the extreme
East without change Of cars The trains
will pass from the State Of New Jersey
to the tunnel under The North River. through
the tunnel under Manhattan Island and
under the East River 10 Long Island; then
on top of the earth again for "A short dis
tance to the other tunnel under the East
River. out of which they will speed through
n part of New York State and on into New
England.
This arrangement OF tunnels will, OF
course, give the Pennsylvania Railroad
the most complete transcontinental con-
nection of any railroad in the United States.
The man who gave this information TO The
SUN made this comment on the whole
scheme
"One can never tell what those Penn
sylvania people will do, They're the smart
est devils in the world. But all of their
tunnel plans are the product Of the brain
Of President Cassatt. He has always been
a great believer in tunnels Fourteen
years ago he offered TO guarantee 4 per
cent. on $50 .OoO,OOO TO be used in building
a tunnel under the North River to run into
a great station between Twent y-first and
Twenty-third streets and from Seventh TO
Tenth avenues. At last he has got Others
TO agree with his notions asto the profit TO he
made out of such n system
The popular mind will az once connect
this announcement with that of Yesterday.
