TUNNEL UNDER EAST RIVER
Between New York and Brooklyn Is
Opened for Railway Traffic.

New York City.-The first of the
series of tunnels under the waters
that divide Manhattan from Brooklyn
on the one side and from New Jersey
on the other was opened for traffic
late last night when the first passep-
ger train left the Bowling Green sta
tion of the Interborough subway, ran
down the inclined tracks to the Bat
terry, far below the surface of the East
river and went the length of one of
the long steel double tubes which par
allel each other under the river to
Brooklyn
The opening of this tunnel, which is
in effect the extending of the present
subway system to Brooklyn, is regard
ed as a long step toward the solution
of the rapid transit problem of New
York-one that brings New York and
Brooklyn closer together and gives an
outlet to Manhattan's millions by
bringing the comparatively thinly
populated territory of Long Island
within easy reach of the center of
business. The opening of the Battery
tunnel will serve to relieve to some
extent the Brooklyn bridge crush"
by DETECTING thousands from the hui
man tide that rushes each day in and
out of the funnel entrance of that big
structure.
No official ceremonies marked the
opening of the tunnel. An express
train picked up a crowd of Brooklyn
ties eager to make the first trip and
then darted away through the bright
ly lighted tube to Brooklyn, where it
stopped at the Borough hall station,
the present terminus of the line in
Brooklyn. Later the Brooklyn section
will be completed to the Flatbush sta
tion of the Long Island railroad, thus
affording connection with all points
on Long Island
The Battery tunnel is equipped with
a series of unique safety devices de-
signed to make traffic under the East
river absolutely safe. Experts believe
that these inventions, which are on
trial for the first time, will revolution
iZe the movement of traffic in sub
ways and at the same time preclude
The possibility of serious accidents.
One man will be complete master of
the tunnel at all times, with the aid
of an illuminated electric diagram,
which will show the movements of
trains.
While train crews will not take or
ders from him, 1t will be within his
power to stop any or all trains within
the tunnel by touching a button, and
In the same way he will be able to
shut off the currents and control the
movement of any particular train. A
telephone system has been installed
in the tube and there are alarm boxes
from which passengers, in case of ac-
cident, cal themselves shut off the
electric current

NO DOUBTS OVER HERE.
Americans Know the Capacity Of the
Men on the Fleet.

Cable dispatches tell of keen in
terest in Europe in the American bat
tleship fleet voyage to San Francisco,
not from a political point of view,
but from the standpoint of navigation
and fleet management The question
whether or not the enterprise will be
successful" appears to rise in the
mind of many observers and commen-
tators. Amusing references are made
to Rodjestvensky's ill-starred journey
from Russia to the Straits of Fushima
as furnishing the only parallel to
this expedition. While no one seems
disposed to rate the American ca
pacity as low as that of the Russian
in this regard, the mere fact that the
Rodjestvensky voyage is mentioned in
dicates that there is an idea, possibly
hope, that the present trip will prove
as slow, as costly and otherwise as
ridiculous as did that silly venture.
1t must be acknowledged that no
thought of possible failure or any
thing less than entire success has thus
far crossed the American mind seri-
Ously. From the outset the only ques-
tion discussed has been as to the po-
litical wisdom and the stategic neces-
sity of such a move. That fleet of
battleships, GO instead of 16 if we had
them. could circumnavigate the Horn
and pass in good order from Hampton
roads to the Golden Gate has been
taken for granted There has been
unspoken confidence il the seaman
ship of those in command, and IN the
seaworthy qualities of the vessels.
The whole affair has been regarded
in too broad an aspect to permit the
people to get down to the technical
questions of whether it will be prac-
ticable to maintain a good pace, to
coal the ships at sea, to navigate the
Straits of Magellan and otherwise to
preserve good order and to progress
briskly from start to finish.
Probably back of this unexpressed
confidence is the recollection of the
Oregon's inspiring performance nearly
ten years ago. OF course, there is a
marked difference between speeding
one battleship from coast to coast
and sending a fleet of 16 over the
same long route. Even the landIub-
Der has an inkling of this difference.
But he has dismissed all thought of it
with the proud belief that Admiral
Evans and his captains are quite up
to their work in every respect. 1t
must be confessed that the European
commentators are much more worried
| over the matter than the Americans

NEED OF MONEY FOR ARMY.
Parsimony in Military Matters Would

Chairman Tawney of the house com.

statement which contains some sug-
gestive figures. The estimates for the
present fiscal year submitted to con-
gress last winter aggregated $S96,000,.
900. Those just submitted for the
next fiscal year foot up 1897 900, 600
In the opinion of the chiefs of the diff
ferent departments the requirements
of the government have grown II per
cent, or S100,000,000, in one year.
The estimated revenue for the next
fiscal year is $S7S, 100000 These es
Inmates at long range are sometimes
far out of the way. They may be seri
ously affected by unexpected changes
in condition. If the money asked for
by the departments were to be voted
and the estimated revenue were col
lected, there would be deficit, after
making all allowances. of $S3, 100000.
Chairman Tawney's commentary on
these figures is that they show the
practical impossibility of congress at
this session undertaking new projects
or authorizing new governmental serv-
ices, the appropriations for which
would have to be met out of the rev.
enue for the next fiscal year.
AS the increase in the estimates in
good part is due to the larger sums
asked on behalf of the army and navy,
it is conjectured that the committee
on appropriations will cut down great
ly the figures submitted by the war
and navy departments. But some in.
crease in appropriations for the army
and navy is necessary. 1t is claimed
by the men familiar with army condi-
tions that it will be skeleton soon
unless the soldiers are better paid.
Congress must maintain the efficiency
of the army.
There should be no extravaganza in
appropriations. There should be a
serious attempt to harmonze receipts
and expenditures, so that there may
be neither deficit nor a surplus. The
present surplus is altogether too large.
But the pruning knife need not be ap-
piled exclusively to the military esti-
mates, even though there is no war
in sight. There may be eXuberant
civil estimates which will furnish the
committee on appropriations an oppor-
tunity to display it's skill in keeping
down expenses.

OF obligations. Loss as a result of
the boilermakers' strike last fall is
given as partial cause for the finan-
cial straits of the road. 1t was also

during the last ten years the road has
spent $l9,000,000 in reconstruction.
The petition for a receivership was
filed on behalf of the stockholders and
the finance committee.

Western owes $10653, ,413.71 now due

last ten years in rebuilding the road
New steel has been laid, double tracks
have been built, grades have been re.
duced and new bridges and terminals
have been constructed. There We're

tons due during 1908 is $3,342, ,545.
Mr. Kellogg said that the Great

tion, owns in fee without mortgage,
lines of railroad in Illinois, Iowa, Min
nesota, Kansas and Missouri. 1t also
owns a terminal lease of a line from
st. Paul to Minneapolis.
In addition the Great Western owns
all the stock of and operates the Ma
son City & Fort Dodge railroad, a line
about 400 miles long. This line is
mortgaged for $12,000,000 or 62 per
cent. of its cost. The Great Western

terms of which the Great Western is
to guarantee the interest on the bonds
