LINDENTHAL WITHDRAWS PLANS.
THOSE OF BLACKwELL's ISLAND BRIDGE
TAKEN AWAY FROM MUNICIPAL ART
COMMISSION. WHICH WANTS
NEW SET
A NEW Sc

Commissioner Lindenthal of the Department of
Bridges yesterday withdrew his change Of plans
for the Blackwelrs Island bridge from the Mu-
nicipal Art Commission. to which it referred
Tuesday. 1t is not definitely known what this
change the part of the Commissioner means,
positively refused TO discuss the affair but it is
understood that H. F. Hornbostel the architect
wishes TO make some further changes, and will
submit to the Art Commission within few days
complete set of plans covering the architect
ural fea atures of the entire bridge.
Mr.. Hornbostel had a long conference with the
Commissioner yesterday morning. and It after
this conference that the move made. The
plans that originally sent to the Art Com
mission were hardly more than rough pictures by
Mr. Hornbostel. It understood that the Art
Commission did not feel JUSTIFIED in taking any ac-
ton without knowing exactly what the changes in
the plans were, and consequently called for a new
set of complete plans.
The exact time of the return of complete plans
TO the Municipal Art Commission is not determined.
The commission holds its monthly meeting on July
and il is thought probable that the plans win be
returned in time for the commission to study them
before the meeting. In the change of plans now
contemplated the Commissioner will make eX-
tensive alterations. Besides narrowing the bridge
he will change the plans for the piers and the
architectural features of the bridge Will also be
materially altered.
Meanwhile, Ryan & Parker, who have the con-
for building the piers for The new bridge are
keeping their work and ignoring Mr.. Lin
denthal's orders to suspend operations. Mr.. Ryan
change the plans and that his firm would carry
out its contract.

TROLLEY INVASION OF ENGLAND.
MEN TO BUILD s2O.0Oo.oOO SYSTEM FROM
LIVERPOOL TO MANCHESTER.

Orange, N J., July 2-Thonas A. Nevins Of
Holly Hail. Harrison-st.. East Orange is to sail
for England on the Lucania Saturday, to
look after the interests OF large traction en-
terprise the building Of trolley line from Liver
pool to Manchester, with connecting lines to
many populous towns. The road is to be built
and financed by Mr.. Nevins mis- father and
other Americans, and will cost S200O0OO0.
Mr.. Nevins said that the road would have
trackage of 147 miles The territory covered
has a population of three and a half millions,
and included some of the largest towns in Eng
land. He added:
I am not at liberty to divulge the names of
the gentlemen who interested in this plan,
but will say that many of them are associated
in the control of the Metropolitan system, IN
New-YorE and the New-Jersey road, here. The
money will come from Americans. We already
own and operate the trolley lines in Cheltenham,
which have proved a good investment This
new system. the South Lancashire Electric
Traction and Power Company. Limited, is
consolidation of several lines some of which are
built, but the greater portion of which remain
to be constructed. 1t includes the South Lanca-
shire tramways, extending for eighty-four miles;
the st. Helena tramways, twenty-five miles; the
Liverpool and Prescott Light Railway, three
miles, and the proposed extensions of the South
Lancashire system, including the Bolton and
Darwin Light Railway, twenty-three miles.
In Liverpool the roads belong to the munich
pality, and Manchester is beginning to build
lines under municipal ownership. but the major
portion of the country between is undeveloped.
Our lines will extend between these two places
down to Warrington, with its population of
63.OOO, and up to Blackburn, which has 1873 0O0
and Aggrington, with $1,000. OF course in
some Of the towns there are small lines already
in operation, but most of the route will be new,
ana, besides the population in the towns. there
is large intermediate population, sufficient to
make up a total of three and a half millions,
which will be served by the projected system of
tramWayS.

Two visions essential every life that would

sets the life right, humblng the soul and then lift

forth INTO service. The vision of humanity is that
which comes TO the soul when we look on men as
Christ looked on them, realizing the preciousness

IRISH QUESTION UP AGAIN.
HEATED DEBATE OVER THE RENTS q,
LORD DE FREYNEs ESTATE

London, July "A long and heated aabats an
the Irish land question was precipitated in tba
House of Commons tonight. Thomas w prs
sell CLiberal moved the adjournment q, +ba
House to discuss the pending evictions from ,ba
estate of Lord de Freyne. in Roscomnnon Conn
ty in connection with which Lord de Freyne re-
Gently had writs issued against large number
OF the Irish Parliamentary party, whom he
charged with conspiracy in the matter Mr.
Russell declared that unless the government
interviewed to prevent these evictions an era of
trouble and turmoil would be inaugurated IN
the West of Ireland where there was trouble
enough already. He said that he had visited the
De Freyne estate three times. and that he was
thoroughly convinced Of the injustice under
which the tenants of the estate suffered The
people in question were the poorest Of the poor.
Continuing Mr. Russell said he believed one
word from Mr.. Wyndham. the Chief Secretary
for Ireland. would settle the whole trouble. and
that he thought the reduction of the rents col
lected on the estate by 33 per cent would not
be excessive for these boglands, which were
now renting for more money than was obtained
for decent arabic land in Ulster County.
MIR. Wyndham replied to Mr.. Russell with
some aspeTity that he surprised to find the
latter siding against law and order. The rents
from the De Freyne estate, he said had been
reduced 81 per cent in the past twenty years,
and that he knew some of the organizers were
making money out of the agitation His advice
to the tenants was TO pay up. This statement
was greeted with groans from the Irish men,
bers. Hundreds had done so, said Mr.. Wynd-
ham, and this remark received with Con-
servative cheers. and many more would like to-
but were intimidat ted Mr.. Wyndham said Il
was Impossible TO carry out the land purchase
scheme in Ireland when it was interrupted by
agitators who desired to make government there
impossible.
John Redmond the Nationalist leader in the
House, characterized Mr. Wyndham's statement
paltry and ffippant. He declared that what
ever money paid in rentals on the De
bV p ODYYIo
tion working in England during the harvest
season. and he cOntended that the government
was directly responsible fer the happenings on
the De Freyne property.
After ither members Of the House had spoken
on the subject Mr.. Russell's motion for ad-
journment was defeated by 231 votes TO 132.
