CorteIyou Issues New Rules For

One of the first problems that con-
fronted Mr.. George B. Cortelyou when
he became secretary of the treasury
was that involved in the cumbersome
Rnd complicated examination by cuA-
toms officers of ocean travellers upon
their arrival in the United States, says
p Washington dispatch to the New
York Post When he first took up
the question he found. hundreds of in.
dignant protests from all over the
country, many women being among
the number, who complained of the
Delay and Inconvenience of baggage
Examination by the customs officials
Especially in New York and Boston.
1t was wholly characteristic of the
sort of man Mr.. Cortelyou is that he
should study this question carefully
before undertaking to find remedy
Not until he had personally witnessed
the confusion on board ship and on
the dock at several of the larger ports
was he prepared to reorganize the
system. The secretary made public
the new method which he has ordered
placed in operation and which should
be in full swing in time TO greet tile
home coming European travellers to
ward the end of the summer.
cit is a matter to which have given
considerable attention" said Secretary
Cortelyou before issuing the new In
structions, "and at my request Assist

out the details of the new system
which is radically different from that

new system shall take effect as soon

made. 1t should be in operation about
the middle of August"
In looking over a large number Of
complaints Secretary Cortelyou found

HUGE RAILWAY BRIDGE
Longest and Heaviest Steel One
In the World.
TO SPAN THE EAST RIVER.

Artistic Structure at New York Will
Link New England and the South.
Four Tracks, Two For Passenger and
Two For Freight Service.
Plans for the huge East river bridge
Of the New York Connecting railroad
were fled recently with the municipal
art commission for its approval. in
accordance with the provisions of the
charter granted to the company, says
the New York Tribune. The new bridge
will surpass all ever built or planned
to cross the East river and will be the
longest and heaviest steel bridge in
the world. First of all the bridges to
meet the eye of the passenger from
the sound three years from now, it will
sweep in a graceful curve over Hell
Gate, Wards island, Little He'll Gate,
Randalrs island and the Bronx kills.
When it is completed and the last
spike driven in the four railroad tracks
TO cross II, for the first time there win
be an all rail route through New York
between New England and the south.
Until the completion of the missing
transit link the trains, as heretofore,
will have to be carried down the East
river and across the harbor. Although
these ferries, with the tide in their ia
vor, easily beat an elevated train from
One Hundred and Twenty ninth street
to the Battery. the all rail- connection
will save fully an hour and a half or
more and much trouble.
