Anujo.IrIsh Tunnel.

Not only is it thought that the long
talked.of tunnel between. England and
FSance Will be constructed at no r.
mote date, but there Is also talk Of a
tunnel between England and Ireland.
This would restore to slight extent
the geographical union that existed b.
tween the two countries in one geologi-
cal age, thousands and thousands Of
years ago. Great Britain and Ireland
We're then separated only by great
valley.
It Is proposed to carry the tunnel
from some point on the coast Of Lam
cashire to the nearest point In Antrim
or down on the Irish coast, a subma-
rine5 langth. of "a miles. One Of the
great benefits Of the tunnel would be
that it would shorten the transatlantic
Journey by at least 48 hours. It would
also help the Irish cattle trade and the
shipping of perishable goods, especial.
" fish, to English markets. Estimates
of the cost OF the proposed tunnel vary
from $4,000, 900 70 $soOoo,ooo.

a CGtholic institution at Wabash ave
nue. and Thlrty-fifth street, with dyna-
mite and. start series of fires and
bomb outrnges that might have led to
II city-wide conflagration, was assert
ed by Mayor Thompson to have been
responsible for his action In calling
out the troops during the race rioting
here. AS evidence of the. plot, he
pointed out, the information that came
TO the mayor and his aids was to the
effect that attempts would be made TO
shut ont police and firemen from the
threatened areas. Guy wires removed
from trolley poles were to be stretched
across the streets at height above
the ground where they would sweep
police and flremen responding to
ALARMS out Of their apparatus or We
hicles, 1t was declared.
The plotters, knowing the trolley
wires carried no current on account
of the street car strike, removed some
guy wires and fixed them across sew
eral streets.
Thus far the race feud that has
killed thirty-two men and beaten,
kicked, stoned, stabbed and shot more
than 300 others, still shoulders.
With G,000 state troops, reinforced
by hundreds of police, patrolling the
riot centers. the district was calm,
with the exception of Disturbances in
the stockyards region. There the first
serious clash occurred between rioters
and the militia. Other districts which
heretofore have been the center of
stirring battle scenes were orderly.
but the battle between troops and
white rioters at the yards promised
serious consequences until the soldiers
eowed the mob with bayonets.
Two companies of the Third infan-
try, awaiting orders at Garfield boule-
ward and Winthrop avenue, dispersed
n mob of whites attacking colored res
idents near Garfield boulevard and
Normal avenue shortly before noon.
Two mounted policemen, discovering
whites stoning negro homes and fear
ing arson, galloped down Garfield
boulevard to the soldier post, asking
aid.
The troops piled into motor trucks,
made quick run down the boule-
ward, posted their machine guns and
their lookouts-but the white rioters
had fled.
Machine guns, with their crews
posted and belts filled with ammunl-
tion ready for action, were placed to-
day at four street intersections by of
ficers and men of the Eleventh regi-
ment of reserve militia.
Despite the vigilance of the soldiers,
howev number of clashes oc-
CURED between whites and negroes.
Three white men were shot down in
revolver battles, receiving critical
wounds. A white man and colored
man were sent to the county hospital
when they were severely beaten.
There were a number. of arrests made.
The troops have done excellent
work. Adjutant General Dickson said
he was proud of them. Their COM
manders said they acted like veterans.
They saved many lives, protected
property; and they were cool and
steady facing angry mobs that out
numbered them many times.
