LITTLE OLD NEW YORK
 10 BE A WAY STATION
A Link Connecting New England with
 the South and West is Now Assured.

New York. Jan. I4.-Vast changes in transportation relations of New Eng land and the southern and western por- tions of the country will result from the agreement just reached. after four years of negotiation. between the city of New York and the Pennsylvania railroad. This agreement assures the building of the Connecting railroad: it means more to the country at large than to New York. for the connecting line, completing a loop around Man hattan, will be a new link joining North, South. and West more effect lively than ever before. It will make New York city a way station. and trains between Boston and Washington or St. Louis will pay the metropolis the courtesy of only a few minutes rstop.
 Beginning al a point near the bound- ary between the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens the Connecting railroad will run through Queens and cross the East river on a high bridge to a junction, with the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad in the borough Of Bronx over the Connecting railroad, through the Pennsylvania's tunnels un- der the East river. under Manhattan Island and through the Hudson river tunnels will pass passenger trains be- tween New England and the far south- ern and the western states.
 The revolution in the carrying of freight in the metropolitan district will be quite as wonderful as the change wrought on the passenger route When the Connecting railroad and other i'm provements on Long Island are finished through freight will skirt the city by way of a gigantic loop around Brook | lyn and Queens. without interfering with either land or water traffic.
 The Pennsylvania railroad is build ing a new tidewater terminal at Green vile. N. J.. on the western shore of New York bay. The Long Island will soon have a station at the foot of Six ty-fOurth street, South Brooklyn. on the eastern shore of the bay. Floats that now have to pass up and down the crowded East rivet will go straight across the bay. carrying cars to and from the Pennsylvania. the Long Is- land. and the New York, New Haven f1dTNAbIu LODS will be connected with New Jersey by a short and direct water route and with New England by the Connecting rail- road-it will be an island in name only | Along the line of the Long Island railroad and the Connecting railroad from the freight terminal at South Brooklyn to the East river, will be dis tributing yards for the handling of the freight originating in or destined for Long Island. Land hitherto unde- veloped will be built up with dwelling houses and factories.
 The methods by which the Pennsyl- vania obtained the Connecting railroad franchise are being held as a model of how corporations should deal with city authorities. The railroad stated its proposition frankly and announced its desire for the most thorough public discussion of it's claim. This position was maintained in the face of many discOuraging obstacles; the result. af- ter a long delay. is that great public improvement will soon be under way and the city will be well paid for its franchise.

ABSORBING THE GOLD
 OF THE WHOLE WORLD
In Spite of the Huge Sum Carried Out of the Country by American Tour ists.

| Washington. Jan. 5, Special Corres- pondence of The Republican)-The United States is fast absorbing the gold of the world. Our stock of gold has increased Ss76, 900. 900 in the last ten years. Of this amount S74,0O00O0 came from our own mines, but We drew from { the rest of the world sl52. 100000 of it's gold. In the same ten years our ex- cess Of exports over our imports amounted to S5,14S, ,245, 900. Had the world paid for all this excess of ex- ports without any return, the world outside of the United States would | have been made bankrupt and all it's markets paralyzed. But we send to England and Europe great sums If gold, of which no record is made, or can be made accurately, in the way of what American tourists spend abroad l (and this is a vast sum), in interest and for the redemption of American securities held abroad and freightage to foreign ships for carrying Ameri- can products. All these sums go to offset, in part, the enormous drain we would otherwise make on the gold re- serve of other countries. It is esti- mated that American tourists, interest on American securities. and freightage to foreign shipowners have taken back to foreign countries the enormous sum of si,9O0OOO.OO0 in ten years.
 
 It looks as if in congress on the pro- posed increase of congressional salar- les it is a case of "one's afraid, and 'tother dassent." The house backed out when 1t came to going on record, and it was with the hope that the senate would put the increase in the bill, and it would then be left there by conference. The senate referred it to the committee, the committee to a sub committee. and the sub commit tee has reported it back to the full committee without recommendation. The house was afraid, and evidently the senate "dassent," yet it is a prop CT measure in every respect. The in- crease proposed was s2,50O for each senator and representative, a total of $l ,20O.O00 in round numbers. It can be easily pointed out how congress can save about one half of that sum- that is now wasted. Cut off the s242, 900 ap- propriated for free seeds. and by do- ing so also save the S250,0O0 it costs the postoffice department to carry and distribute the seeds. Thus, practically one half the proposed increase can be saved.
 Delegate Smith of Arizona believes that separate statehood will be given to Arizona and New Mexico within the next five years. for the reason that the developed resources and increased population will demand it. He pre- diets that five years from now the population of Arizona will be doubled and that there will be four hundred thousand people there instead of the two hundred thousand at present, MT.
