The Committee on Elections OF the
Executive Council has declared The Co
rozal registration which took place on
the I4th instant void and illegal. The
fact upon which this decision is based
are that the judges who took the regis
ration were acting illegally aud that
me places at which the registration was
taken we're not the officially designated
places for polling purposes. According
TO the Republican judges of election at
Corozal, the Federal Judge, one in each
precinct managed to obtain possession
Of the registration books and FORMS.
and instead of convening at the polling
place officially designated they went to,
other places aud there appointed two
more Federal judges to act with them.
The republicans claim that they did not
earn of the trick till later. The Toa
Alta registration is now beng investi-
gated aud will probably be settled
within a few days

In Chicago about twelve miles of
tunnel has recently been constructed
beneath the city's principal streets,
without the opening of manhole or
the obstruction of traffic for an hour.
The tunnel is for the accommodation of
a new telephone system but it is ex-
pected that the scope of the plans will
be greatly enlarged, and there is some
talk that the tunnel may eventually
amount to a. rapid-transit subway for
freight. The passengers already con-
structed are from twenty-seven to forty
feet below the surface. They are six
feet wide and seven feer six inches high.
Their lining is concrete, and they are
lighted by electricity. A narrow tram
way is laid on the floor over which
mules haul cars to the Shafts. Most of
these open, not into the streets, but
into areas back OF business houses. Two
gangs have been engaged in the digging
throughout the t1enty-four hours Of
each day since the work began several
years ago. The earth is a soft clay,
which is scraped off By hand aid SHOW
eled into the nlnle-cars. At the shafts
elevators carry the earth to the surface.
All the hauling is done at night Teams
begin at eight o'clok, and work until
six in the morning. The excavated
earth is dumped into the lake.

night about O'Clock. from fracture

ance in that order.

row from the Methodist church at Z 80
