sey City and Steil of Hoboken; com mittees from the legislatures at AL bany and Trenton and from the boards of aldermen of the three cities, the presidents of great railroads and many other notable guests slipped out of the station at Nineteenth street and Sixth avenue on the first all rail trip from Manhattan to New Jersey.
 Cars Supply Own Light.
 While the 800 persons who compris- ed the party on the special train were taking their places an operator sat at his key in the Christopher street station of the new tunnel waiting for the signal from Nineteenth street. As the last man boarded the. train the operator clicked the words "All ready over a special wire to the presidents office Then the chief executive touch ed the button which flooded the tun- nel with electricity, and the party was off.
 The train which carried the guests to New Jersey consisted of eight of the splendid all steel, fireproof cars, which will be used exclusively in the tubes. The guests noticed when they entered them that their incandescents were burning brightly, but this light was not from the operating current. Each car supplies it's own light from storage batteries, and today there was no operating current in the third rails until President Roosevelt gave the signal to put it in. Unlike the cars in use in the subway, those which go un- der the river do not have to depend on operating current for lighting.

Foraker Is Beaten In Fight For
 .-.. Brownsville Troops.
 Washington, Feb. 26.-That the shoot ing in the affray at Brownsville, Tex, on the night of Aug. 13 and 14, 1906, was done by some of the negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States in- fantry and that the testimony taken before the senate committee on mili- tary affairs fails to identify the guilty parties is the opinion of eight members of the committee. Four members of the committee voted against this deci- sion, and one member did not vote.
 The resolution declaring the guilt of the negroes was submitted by Senator Lodge and was adopted after five reso- lutions by Senator Foraker, one by Senator Dupont and one by Senator Scott all of which were offered as sub stitutes, had been voted down.
 The vote was reached after prolonged investigation extending over two ses- sions of congress and evidence had been taken covering thousands of pages. Practically every negro of the three companies of infantry dishonora- bly, discharged by President Roosevelt testified in his own behalf, while evi- dence in support of the president was given by many army officers and citi- zens of Brownsville.
 Throughout the entire controversy, which in many sections of the country had been made a political issue, the antiadministration side has been direct ed by Senator Foraker. In the final vote in the committee majority of the Republican members came to his sup port The Ohio senator expressed him. self as gratified at this, as 1t was ap- parent from the outset that all of the Democratic members were convinced that the negroes did the shooting.
 The fight will now be carried to the floor of the senate, After the reports have been made to the senate it is ex pected that Senator Foraker will press the matter to a vote there.

 Governors Make Addresses.
 When the plans for the opening cere- monies were originally announced, it was arranged to have Governor Fort of New Jersey and Governor Hughes of New York leave the shores of their respective states simultaneously and meet on the boundary in the middle of the Hudson and sixty feet below the rivers surface and shake hands. This arrangement was changed to the simpler one of having Governor Fort come to New York, take Governor Hughes to Hoboken and then have Governor Hughes bring Governor Fort back here. The boundary line between the two states will be marked in the tubes by circle of red, white and blue incandeScents.
