Williamsburg bridge to the Battery in
Manhattan, by way of the rapid tran

been under discussion in connection with
plans for easing the great crush of trav-
ell between New York and Brooklyn, but
never before has it reached definite
shape. The moving platforms could be
easily operated across the bridge which
is now nearing completion but their in

Failure of Appea! to Powers to Prevent
Russian Aggression in Manchuria.

Pekin. Nov. 1S.-The ablest Chinese
admit the failure of the Thrones ap-
zeal to the Powers for their interview
ton to prevent Russian aggression in
Manchuria. Japan, however. steadily
assures China of her unaltered deter

occupy Manchuria, notwithstanding
the failure of Great Britain and the
United States to support her.
The Board Of Foreign Affairs is APP
parently completely hoodwinked by the

to believe that Russia will ultimately
restore the province to China. The
members of the board are in deadly
fear of Russia. The Dowager Empress

lack ability to choose her advisers.
though she is now pretending to be
considering a reversal of policy, and
war.

ing to devise means to arouse the NOR
