STEAMERS WONT QUIT.
SIanting Piers or Floating Docks
Can Be Used for Big Liners.

The decision Of the War Department is a dis
appointment 10 the Cunard and American line
people in this city. The Cunard company is
building two SOO-foot steamships, to be the
largest and probably the swtftest afoat. mas
much as they cannot be anchored close against
the bulkheads. the SOO-foot piers on the North
River are too short for them. The Cunard Line
more. perhaps. than any other company. desired
an extension Of the pier line so as-to permit the
building Of piers 1000 feet in length in the
Chelsea district The Cunard. the American
and the White Star boats are 10 be grouped
close together In the Chelsea territory II suita-
bic arrangements can be made. and the de-
ciSion OF the War Department is something Of
a check to this general plan.
Powerful interests in Boston have tried TO in
duce the C4na-d people to arrange to make Bos-
the regular port for the big new boats
There is not strong probability that the COM
pany will try to divert trade from this city A
steamship man. in commenting on the decision
last night said:
The attitude Of the War Department is I'M
fortunate for the Cunard and White Star lines
but the question has been considered with great
elaboration and IL is doubtful If the War De-
partment will alter its decision. The Cunard
people will not leave this port They cannot
afford to do IL. Their new boats viii come here
and they viii be accommodated somehow. In
Glasgow and Liverpool there Is lack OF channel
room. and the piers built slanting thus az
fording long berthiDg room without extending
laterally into the channel to Objectionable
degree. Something Of that kind may have to be
done here, there could be floating docks.
The White Star people are running their boats
20 Boston I understand that they enjoy the
benefit OF a differential Of 81 So. but az that
they are not enthusiastic results. This Is
the great port, and here is where the big COM
panies must send their best boats The extern
sion Of the pier line would narrow the channel.
With the North German Lloyd and Hamburg
American Line boats on the Jersey side the
channel Is too wide The decision is
a matter OF inconvenience and expense the
steamship interests affected but IL will not
drive commerce away from this port.

NO FURTHER DELAY.
Canal Payments Likely To Be Made
the Last of This Month.

Washington. March 3L-President Roosevelt
and Attorney General Knox had a conference
after receiving information that the government
OF Colombia had lost its suit IN the French
courts against the new Panama Canal Com
pany, and that now there was no longer any
reason for delay IN the transfer OF the COM
pany's concessions and property 20 the United
States They discussed the situation carefully
After the conference Mr.. Knox announced that
there more reason for delay than
might Re caused by the transfer OF title % a
lot in Washington. He said the government
had been proceeding on the assumption that the
French court would take precisely the action
II had taken. and that at no time had serioU=
consideration been given 70 the proceeding in
stituted BY Colombia He added that the &C
ton OF the French court had disposed OF the
last legal obstacle IN the way OF the transfer OF
the canal cornpany's property.

TAFT VETOES PIER PLAN,
Refuses to Permit ErtensiOn into the
North Rirer.

Washington. March 31.-Secretary Taft to
day settled the question involving the extension
OF the piers in the North River used by several
Transatlantic steamship lines. ard known as the
Chelsea Improvement, by declining TO grant per
mission for the extension. In so doing he
adopted the recommendation Of the army eng
neers and followed the course OF Secretary Root
The action Of the department is based on the
broad ground that any extension of the piers at
that portion OF the North River would seriously
injure navigation. The Secretary's Endorsement
the application follows:
This is an application for al extension Of the
pier head line the North River between
CanaI-st- and ThirtieLh-st- for a maximum ex-
tension OF 1OT feet in order % permit the max
ing OF piers long enough TO receive vessels eight
hundred feet in length. A similar application
asking for maximum extension Of two hun
dred feet was made last year. and. after the
fullest Investigation was passed on by my
predecessor Mr.. Root, in a decision rendered
December O. 1893 IN which. following the
opinion OF the Board Of Engineers, he decided
that further encroachment upon the water
area OF the harbor at this locality should be per
mitted- The present application presents
new facts which call for reversal OF the de-
cision, and I find myself therefore in a situa-
ton requiring that l should deny this appIica-
ticn. which is in effect application for a
hearing
