The Beriuw Tunnel Project.

With promises of aid from Ameri- can capitalists and engineers. accord ing to Loicqu de Lobel the Frenchman who expects to promote railroad tun- nei under Boring Strait, that scheme is now to be presented to the author tiles at St. Petersburg in the expecta- ton that the plan will receive the sup port of the Russian government. Ac- cording to MT. Lobel, sounding and a preliminary survey have already been made, the work of making the survey on the Alaskan side is to begin at once, and in November the formation of $250, 100000 company is to be un- dertaken. Two years are allowed in which to build the Alaskan side of the proposed line. threc years to build the Siberian side. and four years to complete the tunnel under BerinR Strait. In the five years time allotted for the completion of the enterprise. we are promised that 1t will be possi- ble to go from Paris to New York by rail. Altogether there will be about thirty eight miles of tunnel to be con structed, but as there are two islands to be crossed, this will make 1t pos s.Sle to sink two largo air shafts. and thus make the work really the con- struction of three twelve-mile tunnels Those behind the project state that the Russian government has granted d concession of eight miles of land on either side of the track in Siberia, and that they expect subsidy from the American government.

Improvement. progress, betterment Of existing conditions, and modern meth ods applied to business are so common that we accept them as matters of course, and feel that they are what we have a right to expect-and we do. But work in vain for them, especially in the case of public utilities.
 What does the average person care whether corporations catering to the public make a reasonable income on their investment. or pot? What the public wants Is good service, and 1t argues that it is up to the managers of the company to make good in its service and at the same time make a reasonable profit in the conduct of its business.
 A little more than two years ago, the present management assumed charge of the Montgomery Street Railway by acquiring its franchise and properties, with but very little of the latter, and that of the very poorest quality. and in such a condition as to be practically useless for the purposes for which it was intended.
 While the public knows in a general way what has been accomplished in the past two and a half years. 1t does not know that in round numbers $3Oo.- 900 have been spent by the present management in improving and extend- ing its lines, nor can it realize what an immense task it was to do all that has been done in so short time.
 A bit more than two years ago there were only thirteen cars in use by this railway, and today there are thirty nine--a gain of 200 per cent. Then the schedule was far from what one had & right to expect. while now every line is amply equipped with modern cars.

$3OO,OOO EXPENDED BY
 MONTGOMERY STREET RAILWAY
Company is Planning to Spend $l0O,0OO More in Improvements Something Of Progress
 Made by Car Line.

and the service is frequent enough for the accommodation of all classes.
 And yet the management of this rail- way is planning the expenditure of $1OO,0OO in further extending and inn proving its property, and will put forth every effort to see that it's patrons are provided with a street railway service that is second to none in a city of this size.
 With the purpose of providing the white citizens of Montgomery and this section of the country with place of amusement and recreation, and at the same time extending and improving its property, the management leased the plot of ground now occupied by Electric Park and has spent an immense amount of money in providing the nec- essary buildings and amusement de- vices, and must continue to spend large sums in its maintenance, with no other means of realizing a profit on the in vestment than by the fares that are re- ceived from the visitors to the Park going over its line. which has just been double-tracked the entire length so that 1t may operate it's cars rapidly and fre- Quently enough to accommodate every one who wishes to go to its Park.
 It Is believed by this company and all right thinking citizens that 1t alone has the right to profit by the passen ger traffic to and from its Park, if a; the same time 1t must bear all the bur den of expense in its investment. and its share for maintenance.
 Certainly no fair-minded citizen would dare maintain that it has nc rights over any other common carrier in the premises and it has a right te think that it will be supported by all who care for fair play and a square deal" adv.

 The Chinese Government, in answer to protestation. will take a benevolent interest in putting a stop to the boy colt of American goods by Chinese traders. The extent of the anti boycott effort will be best gauged by ensuing reports of our exports. The assiduity with which our officials shall enforce the more odious provisions of the Chi nese exclusion act will have undoubted effect upon Oriental procedure. As far as heard from the Chinese merchants appear to have the better of the contro- versy.

NEW SENSATIONAL FEATURE. Whisky Trust Said to Be Back of Pros
 cautions In North Carolina.

Greensboro, N. O., November 5.- What promises to develop into sen sational feature of the case of the gov. ernment against the Old Nick Williams Distilling company of North Carolina, charged with cheating the government out of revenue in the operation of their plant, was brought out yesterday when the character of their defense was made known.
 The attorneys for the defense claim that the so-called whisky trust Is the moving spirit in the prosecution with the intention of driving the Old Nick Williams company out of business, which is an independent concern.
 Lee Redman, the general manager for three of the largest dist'lleries in Louisville, was on the stand yesterday for the government as distillery ex- pert. Under cross-examination MT. Red man testified the distilleries he repre- sented shipped whisky to every state except North Carolina. The Old Nick Williams company is a large shipper in the state.
 Attorneys for the defense say they have enough evidence to prove their assertion.

LAYS THE BLAME
 ON THE MAGNOLIA
CAPTAIN OF THE ESPARTA SAYS COLLISION WAS DUE TO CON- FLlCTlNG SIGNALS BY BOAT CARRYING PRESIDENT.

Boston, November 5.-The collision on the lower Mississippi river on October 26 between the lighthouse tender Magnolia on which was President Roosevelt and the United Fruit company's steamer Esparta, was due, according to the re- port of Captain Rose of the latter boat, to conflicting signals on the part of Mag nolia.
 Captain Rose asserts that the Magnolia first blew two whistles and put her helm to starboard and then few minutes later blew one whistle and altered her course in the opposite direction. but not until the Esparta was unable to stop and the collision resulted.
 Captain Roses report to the company's headquarters in this city was made pub lie last night. The report is as follows:
 On October 26 at Il D. m. observed steamers light coming down the river. About 10 D. m. said steamer blew two blasts of the whistle, showing green light at the same time. This was prompt ly answered with two blasts by Arrey, who was pilot of the Esparta, and we proceeded up the west bank of the river. Immediately after answering his signal said steamer blew one whistle and show ed his red light which was answered by two blasts and the danger signal by the pilot.
 "The Esparta's engines were immediate ly stopped and reversed full speed astern. At 11:15 D. m. the two steamers collided, the Esparta striking the other steamer about 15 feet from stem on the port bow, and after going ahead for about 30 feet the Esparta stuck in the mud on the west bank of the river
 Upon inquiry 1t was found that the other steamer was the United States lighthouse tender Magnolia. She backed clear of the Esparta and in making to- wards the bank of the river, she carried her top hamper and boats on the star board side by fouling the overhanging of the Esparta's stern.
 An examination of the Espartas in- juries disclosed some slightly indented plates on the starboard bow and a slight leak caused by few rivets being started; otherwise the steamer was in sound con- dition as far as could be seen"
