 The Hudson river tunnel connecting New York City and Hoboken by a pas sage made far below the river bottom was formally opened today when Pres ident Roosevelt pressed the button and the governors of New York and New Jersey made speeches. But the tunnel received it's real christening tonight, when on the stroke of midnight it was opened to the public and d regular ser vice of eight-car trains running under the river with minute headway, was installed. The early trains were op- erated without hitch. While the first niShters were paying the Hudson Tunnel Co. it's first returns on the S60. .0OO 900 investment, the promoters of the enterprise were dining the exec utIves of New York and New Jersey at SheTry's.

Washington. Feb. 25.-Currency leg islation was the chief topic before the senate today.

 Do you have reason to think that some of the officers of tEc navy may have inspired the a;tacks2' asked MT Tillman. Converse said he did gested an attack, but he explained that officers make reports on various sub jects at the request of the secretary of the navy. He said that two of these articles which he had seen had con- tained criticisms Cf the construction in line with the article by Reuterdahl. He was instructed 10 name those au- thorities. He said that one report was made in 1903 by Sims. naval aide to the president. He had made reference a to the characteristics of the Missis- sippi and the Idaho. which were to be built. and another article had been written by Hill in regard to the loca- tiOn of the armor belt. He said that Reuterdahl had made criticism of two features of construction in almost the identical terms employed in the article in question.
 Then said MT. Tillman. without a knowledge of all the facts Reuter- dahl may have gotten his impress sions of the weakness 6f the navy fpf. I, cers?"
 "I cannot say as to that replied the admiral. Tt may be that he secured the impression from others with whom these officers talked"

 IL was explained that he was with the battleship fleet on the cruise to the Pacific, having been permitted to start on the voyage before the publi- cation of the article
 Recurring to the subject of the re- spcnsibility Of naval officers for crit icisms of the navy. MT Tillman asked the admiral if he knew of any officers other than Sims and Hill who had written reports or made criticisms shich afterwards were made the basis of attacks upon the navy

 Was there any difference of opin- ion among the members of the board of construction in regard to matters such as the position of armor belt. turret construction, and ammunition hoists?" was asked.
 'The members of the board were unanimous in approving the designs used was the reply. The admiral stated that a change has been made in turret construction in the Delaware type. which is now building. In that the two-stage ammunition hoist had been authorized. He said that this change had not been made with any idea of additional safety. but because of the greater speed possible.

A REPUBLIC
 ], FOR PORTUGAL
Is Still the Hope of a
 large Element
Outsiders Are of the Opin- ion That the Country is Not Ready.

Lisbon Feb. 25.-Whether or not republic is soon to suDDlant the mon archy in Portugal it is practically the unanimous opinion here that the near future will witness a violent political struggle in which the life of the mon- archy may be at stake. The compara- tive tranquility since the assassinations is simply breathing spell in which the forces of the monarchy on one hand and of popular government. on the other, are being marshaled for the fray.
 Since the assassination of King Car los and the crown prince the republiz cans have been joined by the dissident progressists and they intend to make a campaign for a change of regime openly in the coming electoral contest. The exposure of political corruption and the manner in which an army of clients was maintained at the expense of the public treasury and above all the secret advances made to the royal family they claim. have destroyed for ever the prestige of the monarchy. Disinterested opinion. however, does not consider Portugal ripe for a re- public. It believes in fact, that if the country were under a popular regime. in .ts present backward state. the masses would become the prey of am bilious politicians and like the Central American republics would be without stability under the present circum- stances. The cobrse of the young king is most dangerous. as he has placed the destiny of the throne in the hands of the leaders Of the two discredited old parties. men whose past prevents them from meeting their adversaries in the c1en field of political discussion and who. people will insist, must be disciplined.
 The real weakness of the monarchy in Portugal seems to be that it is top heavy. With it's territory shrunken. it's wealth withered and it's people crushed by taxes. it's national credit bankrupt: the court is maintained on a scale almost as extensive as in the days of the Portuguese world domin- ion, and the Splendor of seven royal palaces is kept up with all the eX- pense involved by the constant trans fer of g large court from one place to another The court itself is an heir archy and has a ceremonial etiquette second only to that of Russia and Aus tria and it's personnel is certainly larger than that of Germany. It Is here that the pruning hook must be

Washington. Feb. 25-Two experts in naval construction, Rear Admiral Converse, retired, and Rear Admiral Capps, chief of the bureau of construc- ton and repairs, were before the sen ate committee on naval affairs today in an investigation of the charges against the navy made by Henry Reut- erdale in a recent magazine article. The charges were taken up in the or der they appeared in the article. and at the conclusion of extended refuta- tion by Admiral Converse, it was stated by Senator Perkins that the apologies of the committee. were due the officers for having called them to answer such charges.
 Chairman Hale asented to this view and no member of the committee took issue. This incident, at the conclusion of the first days proceedings, il is thought indicates that the inquiry would be short. It has not been de- termined whether the committee> will enter upon the investigation of any subject except those embraced in the criticism of battleship construction, but if other questions are takeh up it is certain that no long continued dis cussion will be permitted. IL is likely that the entire inquiry will be con- cluded before the naval appropriation bill is taken up.
 A development of principal interest in the testimony of Admiral Converse was that two Of the charges made by Reuterdahl were in language similar to that used by. Lieutenant Command CT Hill and Lieutenant Commander Sims, on duty with the general board of navy, in articles which they had prepared and submitted to the secre- tary of the navy at his request Ad- miral Converse disclaimed any pur- pose to indicate that these adticles or statements of those officers had been the inspiration for the Reuterdahl at tack upon the navy. Nevertheless these officers are to be called before the committee in the near future. Sec '. retary Metcalfs will also be witness No decision has been reached as to when these witnesses wiT be called.
 At the navy department during the day Lieutenant Comma nder Hill sub mitted to Secretary Mctcalf his reply to the questions addressed to him and Sims as to their knowledge of the source Of information alleged to have been furnished 10 the writers who have criticized the constrUct:on features of the navy. Hill declined to discuss his reply.
 Converse supported by Admiral Capps. was the first w-It=:--ss called be- fore the committee. Mr. Hale called upon COnveyse to take up the Reuter- dahl article and give his view of the charges contained there. The admir- al characterized some of the charges as very unimportant," some to "sO stated as to give a wrong impression, and some 70 be absolutely false"
 Senator GaIlinger suggested to the admiral to state who Reuterdah is. The Iuthor of the article was de- scribed as an artist who had been em- ployed by the navy department for d

tleship had been due to the open tur- ret; that all accidents had originated at the breech Of the gun and that the obvious remedy is in additional screens between the breech and the ammuni- ton charges prepared for reloading.
 Mir. Tillman here suggested a re spOnsibility which Converse was not willing to assume. You. as an eX- pert. deny the charges that Reuter- dahl brings. Are you willing. to back mp your position with your experience and the knowledge you posses of the construction of battleships in other navies and cross- -eXamine Sims and Hill if they should come here and at tempt to substantiate their views?'' the senator asked.
 No. sir: l prefer not to do that" replied Converse with emphasis. He made clear that he did not care to be brought into controversy with fellow naval officers in such manner. MT. Tillman explained that what he in tended was that the admiral should give to the committee pointers on which To cross examine witnesses who had attacked the navy.
 Capps will be heard tomorrow. Just before adjournment Mir. Perkins said to the naval officers: We ought to apologize to sou for calling on you to refute such articles as this"
 That's true" said Chairman Hale. but it is written in such a vein that a layman could not understand how absurd the charges are. It has at tracted the attention of the whole country, and we had to investigate it.''
