NIT his project for a peace congress
at The Hague to be postponed indeti-
nitely by the reluctance of Russia to
participate until the war with Japan
is ended. The feeling is that action

the appreciation OF London and Par1s,
will push the matter forward, largely
because American craftsmanship IS
convinced that the chief direct benefit
from the congress will be an lnterna-
tional moral pressure upon Russia.
As secondary advantage, 1T is point
ed out that in the remote contingency
of ultimate Russian success, the naval
powers of the west would desire to be
in position to restrain the victor from
exactions calculated to disturb political
affairs in the far east. The latter sug-

AMERICAN TAKES
WARSHIP TO GAR
Burke Roche OutWits Germans
and Delivers New Torpedo
3D.. Boat to Russia. =.

New York, Nov. l9.-A remarkable
story comes from the Glasgow CORE
spondent of the American to the effect
that .torpedoboat destroyer of great
speed, built in an English shipyard, has
been delivered to the Russian govern
ment and that. Burke Roche, ex-member
of parliament from Ireland and a few
years ago well known in society and
club life in New York, had command of
the boat during its voyage thru the
KEEL ship. canal to Libau, on the Baltic.
According to the correspondent, de-
tails of the matter were brought t.
Glasgow by members Of the boat s
crew, who have returned from Russia
aboard a merchant vessel.
The dispatch asserts that the build
ers of the craft were led to believe that
certain persons in New York desired to
purchase it for the purpose of racing
against a steam yacht owned by a mil
ionaire sportsman. They built a tenn
porary deckhouse, concealing the lines
of the war vessel, the torpedo tubes
were sheathed over and the boat. was
to be fitted out more completely in an
American port. By this method, it is
alleged, the builders supposed they
were merely aiding in establishing a
great record for their creation; but &C.
cording to the story now told, the little
war vessel took an entirely different
course, and, manned by a picked crew,
made a quick run to Libau. There is
no official confirmation of the story.

WORLDS BUSIEST CORNER
Four Car Lines Pass Over and Under
the Ground.
New York World

You can choose among more kinds of
street transportation today at Thirty
fourth street and Park avenue than you
can, perhaps, anywhere else in the
world, and as soon as the new Penn
sYlvania- Long Island tunnel is completed
there will be no fewer than four distinct
systems Of electric car lines passing that
busy intersection.
Not counting the electric vehicles, au-
tomobiles and ancient horse-cabs that
ply past this busy corner, the choice Of
electric cars is now confusing enough
to embarrass stranger. There are the
Thirty-fourth street cross-town cars to
low them, running north and south thru
the good old tunnel in which ancient
horse-cars used to crawl, are the smart,
up-to-date Fourth avenue electric cars,
in which one can fly thru space at the
rate of mile in two minutes.
Below this tunnel is another-the new
subway, with it's four tracks, occupied
by way trains and express trains, which
dart north and south at lightning speed
or will dart, as soon as things settle
down. =~,~
And work is already we'll under way
upon the new Pennsylvania Railroad
Long Island Railroad tunnel, traversing
below the new subway. Electric trains
along this route will carry the traveller
from the west down beneath ground in
Jersey City, under the Hudson river, un.
der Manhattan island, under the East
river and so out upon fair Long Island.
TO really enjoy these four electric
transportation systems one should live
in the Princeton club or at either of the
other corners. There the deep rumbling
of the overground and underground troll
ley cars and trolley trains can be heard
without ceasing by day or by night as
long as our civilization endures and New
York is New York. Park avenue and
Thirty fourth street will be one of the
few places in the world where quiet
can never be had, where the travellers
will never cease from travelling and
where the weary can never be at rest.

and the law clerks in the controller g
office took sides on the question, some
contending that he went out Of office
the day set in his letter Of resignation,
and others that this date should be dis

his successor not having qualified. The
