WALK UNDER HUDSON RIVER.
Tunnel Connecting Manhattan Island
and New Jersey Completed.

iunnei connecting Manhattan island
and New Jersey Completes.
New York, Sept. 13. Fifty men
walked underneath the Hudson river
through the north tube of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tunnel, thereby opening
officially the greatest undertaking of
its kind ever accomplished in this coun-
try
While thunderstorm ragged over the
river the fifty men walked dry shod
and comfortable under the river and
emerged at the Manhattan end of the
tube at the foot of West Thirty-third
street. The party started from Wee
hawken.
In spite of the heavy downpour a eel
ebration intermingled with speeches
and cheers was held at the Weehaw-
ken entrance to the tunnel. Three
hundred men gathered there, including
officials of the construction and engi-
neering work. Charles M. Jacobs.
chief engineer of the tunnel, was called
upon for a speech He said:
Il am proud to have been offered the
honor of leading the way on the first
Journey underneath the waters of the
Hudson river through the tunnel of the
Pennsylvania railroad
Preparations were then made for the
trip. Two hand cars, decorated with
colored electric lights, were shunted to
a track leading to the tunnel entrance
at Bergen hill, and as many of the par
ty who could find room seated them
selves. The cars were pushed through
the tube
From the time that the Pennsylvania
railroad announced it's plan of tunnel
ing under the North river five years
ago the work of building the tubes has
been one continued series of engineer
ing triumphs. Among other things, the
rapidity of the work has been unprece-
dented.
The North river division of the Penn
sylvania tunnel Improvements extends
from the terminal now under construc-
tion in New York by two main line
tracks under the river and Bergen hill
to the Hackensack meadows, west of
the Palisades 1t has total length of
1900 feet.

tubes that were to meet under the
river, began on the New York side

twin tunnels met Sept. II, and it is ex-
pected that the shields in the south

TELEPHONES IN THE COUNTRY

The feelig of eompanionship which is
brought into the country house by the
telephone is wonderful. The old dreary
loneliness and sense of isolation has dis

The Cubans regard the arrival of the
cruiser Denver with wonder and per-
plexity. Many of them think that it
presages intervention by the United

means just the contrary and that the
sending of the warship is simply for

local banks had refused to make fur

the planters, realizing that they will
be unable to pay their help until the

their men to join the insurgents, as
that would insure them food until
work can be resumed.
