WIRES ". IN The 4 !. J. HOLE
The St. Ry. Tunnel IS an Ambi-
tious Project.
A DEEP SUBWAY FOR FEED MAINS
The Main Dsi4trribution Point Above
Ground Would BE Mt Tenth
and Hennepin. A.

A large tunnel, from fifty to sixty feet
under the surface, and extending from the
power station at Second street and Third
avenue N to a point at or near Tenth
street and Hennepin avenue, is the am
bilious project of the street railway COM
pany, suggested by the mysterious test
hole being drilled at Tenth street and
Hennepin avenue. This is the first move
in the preliminaries. The tunnel is to
provide a means for carrying the COM
pany's feed mains from headquarters on
Second street to some main point OF dis
tribution outsi b the business district, In
order to avoid the expense and 1ncon-
veniences of surface cOnduits.
What with gas and water mains, sewers
and conduits for other purposes, the
streets are already pretty well occupied.
The street railway cOmpany's wires carry
heavy loads and their presence In a
street conduit would be constant
menace to gas and, water mains through
the electrolysis resulting from escaping
currents, and repairs would be difhcult
and expensive on account Of the Interior
ence with public traffic caused by the
tearing up of paved streets. The COM
pany desire to obviate all this expense
and annoyance, and has settled upon q
tunnel as the best means of accomplish
ing 1t.
Naturally the company would desire to
locate it's distributing point farther out
of the business district than Tenth
street. but this is impossible on account OF
the formation Of the limestone and sand
stone lodges underlying the city. AT
Bassett's creek on the north and the Lor-
ing park region on the southwest, these
lodges dip sharply downward to depth
of perhaps $50 or 200 feet.
For the distance proposed, about one
mile, it is estimated that the undertake
ing will cost not less than 100000.

LOWER TARIFF
Senate Committee Adopts
Sweeping Amendments
to Philippine Bill.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate COM
mittee on the Philippine islands to-day
had under consideration the house Phil
ippine tariff bill, but upon the request OF
the democratic members for more time
adjourned until Monday without reporting
the bill.
All the amendments suggested by the re-
publican members were adopted. The
most important reduces by 25 per cent the
rate upon Philippine articles coming into
the United States, and provides for a
further reduction equivalent to the export
duty on such articles when shipped from
the Philippines.
Another amendment permits the en-
ployment Of foreign vessels in the inter-
island traffic as we'll as in the traffic be-,
tween the United States and the islands.
Another strikes out the house provision
authorizing the Withholding of the cost
of collecting Philippine taxes and dut les,
thus requiring the gross amount in
stead of net amount to be deposited in
the special Philippine fund. An amend
ment suggested by the treasury depart
ment was added as follows:
Merchandise in the custody and control OF
the officers Of the customs, upon which duties
have been paid. shall be entitled, On ship
ment to the Philippine islands within three
years from the date of the original arrival.
to return of the duties paid, less l per cent
and merchandise upon which duties have not
been paid may be shipped without the pay
ment of duties to the Philippine islands
within said period under regulations pre-
| scribed by the secretary of the treasury.

CAPT. MORGAN IN IT.
FILIPINO SURRENDER AT TAAL
1t Was Probably in Part Due to the
Captains influence With
Natives.

Captain George Morgan, U. S. A., Is
probably entitled to much credit for the
important surrender of a large Filipino
command at Taal, Batangas province, last
Tuesday. The dispatches do not mention
him, but Captain Morgan was acting aide
to General Bell, was in command at Taal
and had conducted negotiations for long
time looking to the surrender Of the in
surgents in his territory.
Those who remember George Morgan as
a boy in this city and later as military in
structor at the university can readily be-
lieve that it was Cue to his diplomacy,
good judgment and kindly disposition that
his troops are not fighting instead of be-
ing engaged in receiving prisoners.
In afleter to his brother, Lieutenant AL
fred S. Morgan, U. S. A.. at present in the
city, Captain Morgan says the friendliest
relations had been established with the
natives, and it was believed that the in
surrection would soon come in. Mention
was made of Colonel Marisigan as dad
man" and one of Malvar's ablest and most
active lieutenants.
The dispatches state that Colonel Mar
isigan brought with him three. lieutenant
colonels, five captains, twelve lieutenanta
and 245 men with numerous arms. The
country about Taal has been completely
pacified. ..als o..

Powers Attorneys Planned "Sur

HILL AND MELLEN sUBPoENAED
They Are Summoned to Appear on
January 25 Before Commits
sfoner Mabey.

It develops to-day why the attorneys IN
the case of Peter Power against the
Northern Pacific Railway company were
so secretive when they secured an order
naming Richard Mabey commissioner to
take testimony. They were after no less
personages than James ]. Hill, president
of the Northern Securities company, and
G. S. Mellen, president of the Northern
Pacific. 1t was their desire to get sub
poenas served on these gent lenren before
the newspapers got windsof the condition
Of things. -.
Subpoenas were served yesterday on
each of these men to appear before Special
Examiner Mabey at 10 o'clock on the
morning of Jan. rs in Minneapolis
The legal representative of Mr.. Power
and associate counsel in this city knew
the difficulties with which they were to
deal and acted accordingly. George A.
Lamb, personal counsel Of Mr.. Power
slid into town Tuesday morning. He did
not register at a hotel, but proceeded to
Judge w. A. Lancaster's office and went
into executive session with himself. When
The Journal representative dug him
out, Mr.. Lamb was extremely urbane and
seemed deeply interested in what amuse-
ments might be at the theaters and not
at all In the Power case. In fact, he ap-
peared to have come west simply to at
tend performance given by his old friend
Lew Dockstader. The sphinx might bow
In Difference to Mr.. Lamb meanwhile.
An order was obtained Of Judge Lochrer
in st. Paul appointing Richard A. Mabey
special examiner. This was filed late
Tuesday afternoon, supposedly after the
papers had gone to press. Subpoenas were
at once issued and served as soon as
Messrs Hill and Mellen could be found.
Yesterday Mr.. Lamb left town as
quietly as he entered it, leaving matters
In charge Of M. H. Bout ellie and Judge
Lancaster. Nothing can be learned except
that Mr. Lancaster will return at once
and that Mr.. Lamb will probably come
back for the hearing.
There Is a probability that the frs
hearing will be postponed, as Charles w

Pacific, must appear before the Interstate
commerce commission at Chicago Jan. q

ABOUT BALZAC'S COMEDY
George Henry Lewes Has Made Eng
lish Version of 1t.
Columbia Literary Monthly.

Columbia Literary Monthly.
It is upon this one comedy, "Mercadet, -
that Balzac can lay any claims as dra-
matte artist This was first presented at
the Theater de Gymnase DrAmat1que on
Aug: "a, 1851. In 1869, in threeact YER
sion, it was added to the repertory Of the
Coincide Francaise-"the proud and Sc
we're guardian Of Gallo stage traditions. .
The play was revived a few years ago
with M. de Fcrandy in the title role, orig
inally created by Geoffroy
Mercadet; Spectator and company
promoter, who is supposed to be very
rich, has been ruined by the flight of his
partner, Godeau, in whom he had the
greatest confidence. He makes a strong
effort to maintain his credit, and almost
succeeds-thanks to his ingenious inven-
ttons. Indeed the first act and the scenes
representing his meetings with his cred
itors are very clever. He tries to get out
of his difficulties by marrying his daugh-
ter to a noble who is also ruined but
manages to hide he fact in the belief that
Mercadet Is rich. When they discover that
poverty Is a mutual friend. they do not
lose their wits; on the contrary they use
them in new scheme. The gentleman
is to pass himself off as Godeau, come
back from America wealthy, and Merca-
Diet, thus recovering his credit, will be
able to find his feet again. But Godeau,
on the Wigs OIL d uSuS eX LUdCQlQ6, aCtu-
ally returns home and brings a fortune.
Mercadet. Of course, is considered very
honorable member Of the human race.
On the surface this may appear as a
successive number Of comical situations,
but the play is far more than this. 1t Is
a cynical protest against modern business
methods. Mereadet and the firm of Nu-
Ginger, so conspicuous In LA Coincide
Humane" are the best examples Of Bal
in int n ho ri nj lac
of Paris. Prehaps they are not very diff
ferent from those Of the day. The char
acter of Mercadet deserves to take place
with Balzac's egotistical Eugene de Ras-
tignac, the ambitious little souled Casar
Birotteau, or the pathetic figure Of
Cousin Pons. Mercadet is the only char
acter in his plays worthy Of q place be-
side these immortal characters. 1t is a
compliment to the play that so admirable
a connoisseur as George Henry Lewes
should have made an English version of

3'U" ENGINEERS At WAR
Freshmen and SophomOres battle for
Place for Banners.

Freshmen and sophomores battle for
Place for Banners.
Freshmen and sophomore engineers Of
the university, ever ready for a scrap,
are at it again. The freshmen yesterday
haated a huge banner bearing the sign,
'ENG. '05,'' from the top Of the 100-foot
chimney Of the new electrical building.
The only means Of mounting the chimney
is by ladder inside, and the "sophs'
found the way blocked by several fresh
men, The sophomores built fire of tar
paper in the furnace below, and the fresh
men were obliged to come down. bold
soph then went up and cut the rope, al
lowing the banner to fall to the ground.
A lively scrap ensued with the advantage
in favor of the sophs. This morning the
sophs thought to cinch their victory by
floating their own banner from the Chin
ney at point several feet from the top,
but an ingenious freshman lowered a
TORCH saturated the banner with kerosene
and set fire to it. This evened matters
up until noon, when the freshmen sue
ceeded in again floating their banner, sus-
pended this time thirty feet from the
top by means of an iron chain. Sopho-
mores VOW it shall not stay. =

ROOSEVELT WAS SWORN
Incident That Prevented the Making
of a Historical Picture.

InC10ent That freVenteO inc NA&%AAAf5
of Historical Picture.
New York Sun. 49,.
A New York man who was present when
Mr.. Roosevelt took the presidential oath
at the home of Ansley Wilcox in Buffalo
relates this:
.There is no photograph in existence Of
any vice president taking the oath as
president. When Johnson succeeded Lin
coin the art of photography was not 50
swift as it Is now. When Arthur took the
oath as Gar1eld's successor it was In
private house. No artist was present.
These facts were stated to Mr.. Roose-
welt when he reached Buffalo to become
president. He was asked II, under the
circumstances, he would permit a photo
graph to be made while he was taking
the oath in Mr.. Wilcox house.
Sat first he was inclined to protest. At
the earnest solicitation of several persons
who were. to be present he d1nally con-
scented, but it was with the distinct un-
derstanding that the photographer was to
keep himself in the background. Nothing
was to be done which would mar the dig
nifty of the occasion. Secretary Cortelyou
was to arrange that. .
"a young man who had accompanied
President Mckinley on the California trip,
and had been with him in Buffalo up to
the time Of the tragedy, was selected to
photograph the scene in the Wilcox resi-
dence He was there with his camera in
advance Of the Roosevelt party and was
concealed as we'll as he could be.
when he got there he found anot her
one Of his profession in the room, who
had camera big enough to take sky
scraper. Just how he got in shall not
say, but he was not there officially. How
ever, he insisted on remaining.
just as Mr.. Roosevelt was about to
take the oath the big camera collapsed
and caused a racket. This naturally
grated upon the occasion, and Mr.. Roose-
Welt seeing the other camera, permission
for whose presence there had been given,
he asked that it be removed.
"And that is why there is no picture
Of that event, except as it was made from
imag ination or description. 1t was mat
ter Of regret to those who arranged for
what would have been historical pic
ture. but they could not insist. and the
opportunity was lost.
II have never seen any explanation of it
given, although no secrecy was entoined.

MODERN ROMANCE
To He Discussed by DR.. Richard Bur
ton TO-niEht.

Tomorrow night at Stanley hall, Dr..
Burton will use Gilbert Parker's How
Valmond Came to Pontiac to illustrate
what he thinks of modern romance. He
gave the same lecture in st. Paul last
fall to "a crowded house which showed
the most enthusiastic appreciation.
DR.. Burton believes that this work is
by far the strongest and best Gilbert Par
ker had done, although popular judgment
may not attest It. DR.. Burton's reading
Of the book IL said to be revelation. He
reads entire the wonderful chapter In
which Valmond eonquers the skeptical
sergeant of the "Old Guard" and de-
clares that in nothing else that the au-
thor has written has he approached the
absolute genius Of this chapter. He be-
lieves that the introduction, in the end
Of the book, after Valmond's death, Of the
letters proving Valmond to have really
been a son Of Napoleon, Is masterful
invention, being the Justification Of VAL
mond in all that had gone before, and
making it a really great book.
