Special to the Herald.
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 22.-An impor-
tant conference of leaders of the In
dependence League throughout the
country assembled in this city today.
The purpose of the conference is to
decide upon the part that the Hearst
followers will take in the coming
presidential campaign. In view of the
fact that Mr. Hearst has declared that
he will not be candidate for the
presidency, there is believed to be
but one contingency that would re-
suit in the independence League put
ting a ticket in the field. 1t is GER
tain that no steps will be taken in
this direction until after the Denver
convention. 1t is assumed that should
the democrats fail to nominate VII
liam j. Bryan for the presidency, the
independence League would imme-
diately hold a national convention
and put third ticket in the field with
Mr.. Bryan's name at the top of it.

line of tunnels and tracks which will
be opened for passenger traffic dur
ing the summer. The route of this
section is from the terminal, at the
foot of Ferry street, Hoboken, under
the river to Morton street, up Green
witch street to Christopher, across
Christopher to Sixth avenue, and up
Sixth avenue to Nineteenth street

and Pennsylvania railroad terminals
in Jersey and connection with the
Fulton street station of the Subway
Another line will extend from the
Pennsylvania terminal to Newark
These sections of the system will be
opened in few months.

New York, Feb. 22.-The north
tubes of the Hudson & Manhattan
Railroad company, commonly known
as the McAdoo tunnels, running under
the North river from Hoboken to
Morton street, Manhattan, will be
opened to the public next Tuesday.
This will mark the completion of the
first section of the gigantic $780,
100000 tunnel system, and the event
will be signalized by a fitting celebra-
ton. President Roosevelt will press
a button in the White House at Wash
ington which will start the first train
moving, and it is expected that Gov
ernor Fort of New Jersey and Cover
nor Hughes of New York will take an
active part in the exercises.
The McAdoo system, which has fire.
quently been adjudged to be the
greatest and most costly engineering
feat of the century, as well as the
most comprehensive traffic arrange
ment ever devised, was first started
in 1874. De Witt Clinton Haskin, a
California civil engineer, who had
been active in the construction of the
Union Pacific railroad, drew the
plans and made the surveys at his
own expense.
But at that time neoD1e laughed AT
the project. 1t was the scheme of
dreamer with a disordered mind they
said, and even engineering experts
shook their heads. Capitalists would
have nothing to do with it. The early |
promoters of the project completed |
about 1000 feet of a TUNE, under the |
Hudson, and then failed. Ten years
later others took hold of the scheme,
built about the same number of feet
and again failed. From 1892 to 1902
there was nothing doing in the tun-
mel line under the Hudson river, so
far as this scheme was concerned.
Then it was that William G. Nc
Adoo and his associates took hold of Il
the work that others had failed to I
carry to successful termination.
Now the dream of former years is
about to become an accomplished fact.
Within a few days passenger trains
will be running regularly beneath the

 Just wan punch put Roche away; There are tears from Louth to Derry
 Wirra, wirra, sad the day, Sure, tis hard on all the country;
 If we eat we've got to poach, For We sold our pigs and cattle
 And we put the coin on Roche. Sure, 'tis sad tonight entirely

 On us all; my poor colleen, Get the jug, I'll drown me sorrow
 With a sup of old potheen. And our Jem was such a daisy
 At the Londonderry fair; No gossoon In all the country
 Could stand up ag'in him there. Wirra, wirra, what difference
 To be bate by one Canuck. On the seventeenth, Chuesday-
 May the devil sind him luck. Sure, we thought the fairies hit it
 When we took the lad away: Oh, bad cess to him that did 1t,

Editor Democrat:
 Being an old sport, noticed on page II, sporting page of the Demo- crat, last evening, an article entitled "Old Story Rehashed," by one Sher- wood, who is trying to bring one George L. Lilley in winner. All old horsemen like myself will agree with me that this man Sherwood has gone lame bad in this particular race, He asks indulgence to present the character and record of this man Lilley from his standpoint.
 The sporting fraternity and the public would be pleased to know this man Lilley's record when he brought on his horse "Graystone. Ask some of the old horsemen about Lilley's character on the race track, and how his actions has proven wet blanket up and down the valley ever since.
 I would also recommend that when you have any more of that rot from the like of Sherwood please don't put it on page II, as we want nothing there only true sport.
