ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
Rippies on the Current of Life I'm the
MetrOpOlia.


Financial gossip in the metropolis Is In
sistent In claiming that President Harri-
man OF the Union Pacific has acquired
large tract OF land at the western end OF
Rockaway Beach. Long Island. with the
ultimate object of establishing a great
steamship terminal at Jamaica bay.
correspondent OF the Philadelphia Ledger
says the object OF Mr.. Hartman is to
allow steamships TO load and unload at
Rockaway. whence the contents may be
brought into the metropolis over the pro-
posed connecting road OF the Pennsylva-
mia system. across Brooklyn and Queens.
and by the bridge Of the Pennsylvania
system. now under way. TO the great de-
pot In Manhattan, for transmission thence
everywhere within the United States. This
interesting and magnificent paper project
is a modification of the scheme which long
ago contemplated Montauk Point as the
American terminus of ocean passenger and
freight service. In connection with the
Long Island railroad system.
According to the talk in the financial
district. the latest scheme is believed to be
a part of the Hartman plan to secure an
outlet on the Atlantic for his western
railroad. For many years Mr.. Hartman
has been engaged in an EFFORT to put
through a deal which would make of the
Union Pacific a transcontinental line. Only
recently 1t was reported that he had eff
fected an arrangement with the New York
Central. While that report was never
officially confirmed, the fact that he Is
now busy with a scheme for the devel-
opment of a steamship terminal would
suggest that there was at least some truth
in It, II Mr.. Hartman, either with the
New York Central or any other railroad
having its terminus In this city, has per-
fected an arrangement for a transconti-
mental line. he could easily make connec-
lions with the proposed steamship ter
minal at Jamaica bay by means of the
Long Island road or a system OF tunnels,
and thus be able to deliver grain and
other products from the far west in the
European markets at about half the pres
ent expense"

The steam railways, rapidly as they in.
crease their facilities. cannot keep up with
New Yorks suburban trafic. This has
shown the opportunity for the high-speec
electric railway. From the terminus OF
the subway at One Hundred and Seventy
seventh street a new road the New York

consist OF four tracks over private right,
of-way and with no grade crossings
This line will mark an epoch in suburban
transportation. 1t will be OF as perfect

tiful Westchester county. the road will
run to Portchester, on the New York
Connecticut boundary line, and to Whit,

Thedine is being built for electric expres
traffic at a mile a minute; locals win run
as fast as forty-five miles an hour. Tn,
whole line and branches cover only thirty
six miles. but its roadbed and equipmen
are the same or better than the steam rail
roads maintain.

Mr.. Ahearn, president of the borough of
Manhattan. which means New York City
proper, has issued an order that seemed
likely to produce visual paralysis among
the citizens who read It.
He has said to the street car monopoly
that pervades the streets of New York
that unless certain lines are overhauled
and put in shape. the cars cleaned up and
more adequate service given, he will
prevent the operation OF any Of their
vehicles over those lines.
He has informed the companies that
they have made no attempt to maintain
schedule in operation, which in itself is
violation of law; that they have utterly
failed to provide anything like a sufficient
number of cars: that the cars reek with
filth. have not received a coat of paint in
years and are In such a dila pidated condl-
ton generally to be a menace to life
and limb.
He declares that the people OF certain
sections have a right to their complaint:
that they have been treated with a dis
dain of rights that cannot be longer en-
dured.
His orders are peremptory and, as he has
power to make trouble for the companies,
they will no doubt be obeyed.

They tell in New York of a citizen who,
while coming home a few days ago from
a trip in Europe. sat in a poker game and
lost every dollar. Just then the vessel
on which he was a passenger got into
wireless communication with an east
bound liner which, the unfortunate gam
bier knew. was bearing to Europe a
wealthy friend of his. After an inter-
change Of messages the rich traveller au-
thorized the westbound purser to advance
$500 to his penniless friend. The latter at
once began to play again, won himself
''out of the hole" and landed on this
side several hundred richer than he was
on leaving London.

American liner during the week. Stock

hard up voyager. bound west, has bor-
rowed several hundred from a friend on
a ship going to Europe. This latter trans
action was carried on through the pursers
of the two ships. The borrower asked his
friend for the, money, his friend paid 1t to
the purser of his ship, who then notified
the purser of the other ship and directed
him to turn over a similar sum to the Dor
rover. The wireless marriage is yet to

Army tried to shoulder the Salvation Army off the

Soldiers. Marching as to War" The leaders OF the
rival Salvationsts said that the permit to the
American Salvation Army had been revoked and
refused TO leave the corner.
The Salvation Army continued their services
however.
According TO the police, the Salvation Army had
permission TO hold services the corner They got
the permit through Alderman Haggerty The Do
lice say that the permit expired while the alderman
was away attending the Democratic State Conven-

tive OF the American Salvation Army went TO see
him TO get permit for the corner The Alderman
says that the uniforms of the men who came to
see him were so much like the regular Salvation
Army that he gave them permit thinking II was
the same band 10 whom he had been giving the
permit for the last nine years
