GIGANTIC IMPROVEMENT.
Erie Railroad Proposes to Lay Out Mil
lions on Its Road.

New York, May 5.-Semi- official an
nouncement is made of the improve
ments planned by the Erie Railroad
Co. which will cost several millions.
1t is proposed to rebuild the pier at
West street and to build Il new ferry
house which will be reached by bridge
over West street. A vast History
building to be used as general offices
will be built at West and Chambers
street.
Iii West 23d street a new ferry house
will be constructed similar in design to
the Pennsylvania ferry house at that
point At both the Chambers street
and West 23d street ferries provision
will be made to accommodate the new
double boats being built by the COM
pany. In Jersey City the company will
build a new station and will lay out
new tracks and yards. giving it a mod
ern terminal for it's freight and passen-
ger service A new three track line eX-
clusively for the passenger service is
part of the plans.
The present station of the Erie road
in Jersey City will be transformed into a
freight yard. Five ferry slips will be
built for the new passenger station, all
opening into a main concOurse of two
floors. The low one will be a drive way.
The upper one eight feet above the lev
ell of the station platforms, will be for
foot passengers.

THROUGH THE EYE.
Herbert Booth Has An Original Way Of

New York. May 5.-To teach the gos-

gious theatre, is the plan of Herbert
Booth, son of General Booth, whose
resignation from the Salvation Army is

rectly from Zion City, the headquarters

winter in the Gulf of Paria and at
Culebra the warships coaled directly
from GOLFERS.
1t is not proposed to depart from
this procedure during the summer
maneuvers. Prince Henry has declared
that. however rough the weather, the
| ships will be required to coal. In
heavy weather coaling from GOLFERS is
difficult and hazardous work, as was
| found by the American ships operating
on the south coast of Cuba during the
war with Spain, and there is a posi-
bility that the collier or the warship
will sustain damages that will unfit it
for further service. If the German
squadron goes to the Bay of Biscay,
it will certainly find strong sea. The
coast sweeps in at this point, the north
ern shore of Spain and the western
shore of France forming a large tea
cup, into which sweeps the northwest
wind and the north wind that comes
through the English channel. Marin
ers having no business at ports lying on
this bay avoid it. But if Prince Henry
goes anywhere near the French coast,
the Paris government may take excep-
ZION to the maneuVers on the ground
that they are designed to prepare the
German fleet for operations against it's
shores. 1t is believed here that such a
protest will be avoided by the squad
ron lying far out at sea or conducting
It's operations in Spanish waters.
AS an indication of what the Ger
man ships can do in the way of coal
ing, the navy department has been in
formed that on one occasion, while in
port, the Kaiser BarbGrossa received
$50 tons in one hour. This perform
lnce established a new record, which,
Of course, cannot be attained at sea.
The best record made last summer by
L French battleship was $50 tons an
hour by the st. Louis; the English bat
tleship Majestic slowed away 206 tons
in the same time.
Lieut.. Comdr. T. M. Potts, the Unit
I'd States naval attache, in Berlin, will
,ndeavor to obtain all the information
lie can regarding the conduct of the
German ships. 1t is doubtful howev-
9r, if he will get many facts of i'm
0ortance, as the Germans are chary
about distributing information to pow
ers that one day may be their enemies.
AS an indication of the secrecy thrown
about German maneuverS, it is only
necessary to quote the last naval an
nual, which gives everything that could
De ascertained about the exercises of
1901:
THE German naval meneuvers for
1901 consisted principally of tactical
and scouting exercises, including no
arge strategic scheme. Little au-
:hentic information has been published
concerning the maneuvers. The tacti-
al exercises were carried out under full
speed, and as a course of instruction
hey were very valuable to those en-
gagged in them.
1t is feared in naval circles that the
reports of Lieut.. Comdr Potts will nee
essarily be as brief as that describing
the maneuvers of two years ago.

EVIDENCE AGAINST AMES.
Enemies Seem to Be After the *
Mayors Scalp.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 5-Former
Mayor Ames. was subjected to rigid
cross examination by the state, today,
while on the stand in his trial for brib-
cry and extortion. When confronted
by his written orders to the superinten-
dent of police with regard to making Il
list of disreputable houses, he declared
that the signature was made with a
rubber stamp and he had never seen or
authorized the order.
On redirect examination he declared
that he had never seen the list of such
houses found in his desk by Thomas X.
Brown, his secretary. He denied that
he had given Irwin A. Gradine $50 to
reimburse a woman who had been fined
in court although paying for protection
& At this point Brown was recalled and
asked about the publication of DIT
Ames' letter withdrawing from the con
test for the Republican nomination fot
Congress. DIR. Ames, on the stand, hao
declared that he had never seen the let
ter until it appeared in print. Brown
said that he had prepared the letter
after consultation with his chief. who
after making some changes in it, signed
it and authorized it's publication.
DIR. Ames then being recalled, admit
ted that he might have authorized thu
letter, but if he did so he did not re
member it. He had no recollection o
seeing or hearing of the letter until hi:
wife read it to him from a newspaper
Several Witnesses including DR.. f.. j
Clark testified that Ames' mental con
dition was bad DIR. Clark ascribed hi
condition to alcoholism, and said he die
not believe Ames was competent to dis
tinguish between right and wrong.
