Then in the report for the year 1901

language:

of the public, require the extension Of

The Pennsylvania Tunnels Will
Meet Under the Hudson River

New York, Sept 17.--After two years
and a half Of continuous work the
eastborind and westbound shields in
one of the 23-foot twin tubes, which
the Pennsylvania railroad has been
driving under the Hudson river to
connect New York and New Jersey,
have met. Now men may walk
through dry shod from one state to
the other. The second tube, a few
feet to the south, Is expected to join
about Oct.il7 The meeting of the
shields marks the beginning Of the
completion of one of the most aston
fishing engineering feats on record 1t
means the realization of the long time
dream of the Pennsylvania railroad
to land its passengers in the heart of
Manhattan island. Probably no feat
of railway strategy in the history of
the United States has attracted more
attention throughout the world than
this one. It's completion will mark a
triumph over difficulties of tremendous
magnitude, as this will be the longest
tunnel ever bored entirely under water.
For many years the Pennsylvania
railroad has brought its passengers
to Jersey City, and there they have
had to stop. The company looked
longingly across the Hudson river but
for decades it seemed impossible that
this longing could ever be gratified.
Engineers wagged their heads doubt
fully when the project OF tunnel was
preached, and financiers were over

building a bridge across the river.
Soon after President Cassatt took

Charleston Channel.

Charleston, s. c., Sept. IL. Much
work must be done at the new navy
yard here before 1t is altogether ac-
cessible to warships of the larger class.
1t has been found that the approach
to the station by way of Cooper river
will have to be dredged to the depth
of thirty feet at low water, and that

ened to admit the passage of vessels
of the deepest draft. There will have
to be survey of the river by the army
engineers before anything can be done,
but those who have been looking into
the situation insist that the dredg-
ing Of the approach viii have to be
undertaken without much delay If the
facilities of the new plant and the dry
dock are to be used by the navy. The
plans for the development Of the yard

appropriations for the next few years.
so that the place will soon become
useful as a repair station OF impor-
lance and capacity equal to the plant
at Norfolk. Those who are interested
in the installation feel that the pro-
gramme Is impeded by the delay in
getting to work on the approaches TO

ed capital. In the report of 1901 Mr..
Cassatt stated his views on this sub
ject as follows:
The cost of the work will be large,
but your board is satisfied that the ex-
penditure will be fully justified by the
results attained"
To carry through this extremely diff
ficult undertaking, the company desig-
mated its third vice president, Mr..
Samuel Rea, to take direct charge of
the work, to consult with the New
York City and state authorities with
reference to the rights necessary to
the project, and to appoint a commits
sion of five of the most eminent civil
engineers in the world to draw up the
plans for the work itself. The COM
mission consists of Col. Charles w.
Raymond, u S. army, chairman; Mr..
William H. Brown, chief engineer of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.; Mr..
Charles M. Jacobs and Mr.. Alfred No

Naval Estimates.

Washington. Sept. IL. The naval
bureau chiefs are at work on their an
nual estimates, which are to be ready
for departmental adoption within a
few weeks. There was chance this
year that Secretary Bonaparte would
depart from the method adopted by
Secretary Moody and permit the bu-
reau officials to make up their own es-
Inmates for revision by the department
instead of requiring them to submit
only such recommendations as the de-
partment chose to approve in advance.
1t is held that the bureau chiefs should
be allowed to make the estimates they
believe to be justified and that the de-
partment should then revise them and
