Mr.. Belmont Confcsses on the Oc-
casion of Tunnel Trip.

New York, Sept. 26.-The first
official trip made under the East
River in the north tube Of the Bel
mont tunnels to Long Island City
was delightful. The car almost en-
tirely fills the space in the single
tracked tube and as result pushes
air ahead of 1t and draws more In
behind. This keeps the air sweet,
and keeps 1t cool.
Not the least interesting event of
the day was the rather pointed speech
that August Belmont made at the
luncheon afterward in the Hotel Bel
mont. Here is part of what Mr..
Belmont had to say:
The transportation problem must
be treated from the standpoint of q
reasonable return for money invest

GARFIELD BILL NEVER PAID
Government Still Owes For Funeral o.
Martyred President.

Government Still Owes For Funeral OF
Martyred President.
Washington, June 20.-The govern
ment has never paid for the funeral
expenses of President Garfield This
fact developed when the will Of VIII
liam R Speare, the veteran under
taker who conducted the services, was
filed here for probate.
Soon after the Garfield funeral, &C
corning to Mr.. Speare's brother, con-
gress passed bill appropriating a
sum of money with which to defray all
expenses. The bill carried the pro-
vision, however, that all those present
ing claims file receipted bills for the
full amount of their claims, and with
these bills a general disclaimer agree
ing to accept whatever amount should
be awarded by the commission.
The iCea of sending receipted bill
to any one and telling the debtor that
any amount agreeable would be ac-
cepted in full payment did not appeal
to Mr.. Speare's sense of right. Conse-
quently he failed to comply with the
provisions of the act, and the bill was
not paid.
