THE SYMPTOM TUNNEL.

/ i'm any part OF the world The Italian
and Swiss engineers have shown that

in boring the SimploH tunnels they met

have daunted most engineers.

Alps.
The Sinplou tunnel is twelve miles
| long and il cost million dollars a mile.
1 This cost is not as great as the cost of
some American railway work: for ex-
ample, Il part of the Lucin cutoff was
i
/ high in Italy and Switzerland and the
same amount of work here would have
| been very much more expensive. The
remarkable feature of the tunnel. how
ever, is not its cost but the fact that
it was bored at all.
The work was begun in November
1898. at the Swiss and Italian entrances
simultaneously. Ever since that time
men have been steadily boring toward
each other. The fact that the two par
ties met with only "A small error in
alignment is considered by engineers a
splendid tribute to the ability of the
men in charge of the undertaking.
1t is stated that the new tunnel will
bring northern Europe and Italy very
much closer together. At the same
time it Will cause the practical aban-
donment of an historic railway. This is

to the case. frequently pointed out from

UnimpeachabIe evidence. that Powers
has been fairly convicted. on at least
| two, and possibly on three of the juries
that convicted him there have been
Republicans, and in every instance the
verdict has been unanimous. On any
of these trials the Republican or Re
publicans could have prevented an
agreement. The fact that they did not
do so Is conclusive evidence of their
belief in his guilt.
Nevertheless. a United States judge
finds ground for taking jurisdiction in
the Powers case in the statement that
the defendant has been and is denied
the equal protection of the laws by the
state court having jurisdiction of the
case" and the further ground that the
Kentucky courts have so construed one
section Of the Kentucky criminal code
as to make it impossible for the con-
stitUtionaI rights Of the defendant TO
be enforced before the Kentucky court
of appeals, the states court Of last re-
sort.
II is quite possible that Powers will
secure either AN acquittal or a mistrial
in the federal court. He will be prose-
cuted by district attorney whose sym
pathies may be more with the defense
than with the prosecution. There will
not be the same vigilance the same
forceful bringing out of points against
the defendant that there were in the
state courts. Some of the important
witnesses for the prosecution may have
disappeared and the United States at
rorney viii hardly exert unusual efforts
to find them.
Indeed. it will be surprising. every
thing considered. If Powers is convicted
Aud then our Republican friends will
never get through talking about how
poor caleb Powers was prosecuted in
Kentucky and of how at last they saved
his neck from the moose.

figures include twenty-five life insur-
ance companies that have been in ex-

Some of the amounts are vast beyond
the. ordinary comprehension. For in
