Underground Roads That Will
Ee Wonders of the World.
British Metropolis Honeycombed
With These Subways.
A BIG UNDERTAKING.
May Some Day Be Connected
W itu ast Underground City.
Causes That Led to This Delving
Beneath the Surface.
New York, June 16. The great tunnel
that is to bring- rapid transit joys to
the hearts of N'ew Yorkers is the first
extensive step in the direction of mak
ing use of the region beneath the sur
face to supply deficiencies that the
crowded condition of the level ground
has made it impossible to fill except
by unusual means. Xew Yorkers are
very enthusiastic about their, tunnel, as
they have a right to be. for it will be
the greatest underground passage in
the we -id. Laborers are flocking from
the ends of the earth to help construct
the tunnel, Contracts and subcontracts
and su o-subeoiurat ts. are bt::',j; given
out, models of the new road, ia numer
ous - 1 ' re windows, are always sur-rutiro!-d
by curious thrones, the ilius-tiat.-
1 r .-s is presenting i ictuies from
iVery imaginable lev. pull. t of the tun
n 1 as it wii! appear when 4'inished,
and the air is iiiied with tunnel talK
and co-i jratulati- r.s that this great pro
ject is to ;e cairieu out in America,
the country oi s'.uper.d'ius undertak
ings. And jet in London, as the Londoners
are mituiy leminding us, there is being
constructed a variety of tunr.-Is. so
vast and complicated, sl immeasurably
superior in extent and engineering
peculiarities to that which America is
to possess that to begin to describe
them is a task that can only be ap-
T'.iiiiloi a iter careful study of the
subject with the aid of maps a.d dia
giams. The accompanying illustra
tion give som faint ilea el th- vast
sysp rn of tunnels :u London. The Brit
ish m-ctropciis is. -so honeycombed utio
;h.-P.f underground roads that at some
joints it is necessary to go down nearly
a hund.ed fe-t to find the real soiid
earth. Tur.iu-is cross tunnels, one-under
.he mhi-r. in layers. It makes cr.e
:nuddt-r to think of the c"ns quenc-es
of a sudd-n cave-in where these under

cf hundreds of passengers traveling by
p,ui-s d-ep in the earth, to their homes
or plates of business in the overgrown
t. i l Y
I-. r years the w ork that is shown in
the accompanying picture has cc ?n go-
ing on in London. At one of the busi
j est sections of the city the explorer of
i in- urc!'-r:rou:id system first strikes a
su'ovay taint t enable the toot passen
gers to cross in safety a spot where
many great thoroughfares meet and
w here it is almost impossible to steer a
pathway duria-j the busy part of the
day. In this, passage the pedestrian is
separated from the roadway overhead
by but two feet of com rete and steel
plates so that the roar of the road traf
fic is' still heard and the thud of horsi .-'
h iofs is a reminder that he is stiil near
the surface of the earth. Beneath this
subway runs another to which access is
n it open to the general public. This
second subway is for the gas and water
p pes. as well as for tne innumerable
wires of the electric system.
Beneath this subway again is to be
fcund the tunnel cf the Central London
railway, the ity terminus of which is
some TO feet beneath the surface. To
!,'" 0L--r

rfcis station the passengers wiil descend
by means of eievatois. Down in this

latien 11 the more sootftmsr to tne
pervt s of those who do not love the din
o::' traffic that some call harmony. The
pisset ger who passes down this eleva
tor shaft to the underground station
will pass unconsciously a network of
undeigiound pipes and sewers all hav-
ing their share in the great system, i
while the Londoners go about their bus- j
i liifs. overhead and the swarms of hu
J ! manity below rhe surface are whisked
t. tneir various uesii.aatio::
Jn some paits of London there is stid

another tunnel that dives beneath thf
second one, while on each side of the:
road cellars and sub-cellars are dua out
to an extraordinary depth in the efforts
of the people tor secure elbow-room on
land that Is worth" a small fortune a
square foot. It m supeested by a frenius
with a pleasant imagination that it will
be possible some day to connect these
sub-eeiiars with the underground roads,
and have the whole electrically lighted,
so that the underground life of London
will be as pleasant as that above. The
EURcestion is that the householder or
business mar. whose residence or store
adjoins one of the numerous tunnels
uiil able to step out of his sub-cellar on
to a promenade where he may meet his
neighbors for social converse or recrea
tion, catch a train without going to the
surface or repairing to cne of the sta
tions, or walk by the underground route
to any section of the city that is con
nected by means of the railroad. The
'A 4rJm S tf I
e "t X A f r -rr
idea is a far-fetched one, perhaps, but
so rapidly is London becoming an un
derground city that is is not improba
ble that th future may see haif the
population living, moving and having
its being- far beneath the surface, like a
colony of ants or cave-dwellers.
Three great causes have brought
these underground roads into existence
the piessing need for more rapid tran
sit, the invention of the Oreathead
shield, and the improvement in electri
cal locomotion. The very congestion of
activity on the streets, which makes
raiiivaj- communication so desirable,
renders their construction by any ordi
nals" means almost impossible, owing to
the ioss anil inconvenience entailed. The
solution at present being carried out
makes no interference with London's
existing traffic. Tunnelling through
London clay has been rendered a com
paratively easy matter by the late hit.
C-reathead"s invention. In the case of
j one a circular steel shield, 7 feet in
; length, was employed. Steei chisel-,
j shaped teeth form a continuous cuttinj.
edge in the roremost end ot the shield.
! which is forced forward about 10 inches
I into the ciay by hydraulic rams. The
! clay is cleared away, and before the
j shield is again advanced a section of
I the castiron tunnel is buiit up inside the
i rear portion of the shield. It is from the
! flanged edge of this new section that
I the rams force the shield forward again
As the ehieid is thus slightly larger
than the tunnelling a space is left all
round the tube. This is subsequently
fHied up with cement, which is forced
into position through holes in the plates.
Th electric locomotive now employed
j picks up the current w hich actuates ita
T -
t 1 91
motors from a th!r3 rail running in the
cenjer of rhe track.
The shield wRl probably be used in
the building of America's bier tunnel, al
though the rocky nature of New York's
foundation will make drilling more nec
essary than diereing. When this big
underground passage is finished we
shall possess the greatest tunnel in the
world but not the most complex system
of tunnelling-. London leads in that re
spect as the illustration shews.
IIASNA'S CHOICE.
Thinks the Man "Who
Eullt the Ore- '
gon" Would Be AU Right
Indianapolis, June 16. A special
to
the News from Washington says:
"I don't care who else gets the nomi
nation for vice president, but I am
against Timothy E. Woodruff and Gov- 1
-i-vr-- r?f r -4
y 1 ! 0 i t It 1 v 1
! ernor Roosevelt." said Senator Hanna,
with ali the empnasls of which the em
phatic Ohio boss is cap-abie. "I am
against these two men. I am against
Woodruff because., hit is incompetent,
and. against Roosevelt because he says
he didn't want it. I don't think any
man sht iild be nominated if he says he
don't want it.' Any other man will suit
me. but I am against those two. isay
so? Certainly you can."
"But. Senator," ask-d the correspond
ent, "whom do you favor?"'
"I have no choice: no particular
choice. I do not believe anybody will
know who is to 1h? nominated until at
least one ballot has been taken."
"Then you look to see the convention
stampeded for anybody?"
"Xo, I don't expect that."
Senator Wolcott's name was men
tioned and the senator drummed
thoughtfully with his fingers. "He is
a irooJ fellow and will make a fine
speech." Then added: "But what
would you think of the man who built
the Oreg-vn? Wouldn't that sound
pretty well?"
"You mean Irving C. Scott, president
of Union Iron works, of San Francisco,
and drop Senator Allison?"
"Oh, well. I don't know that Allison
is a candidate. He is a superb man,
and if the convention wants him and
he desires it. nothing better could be
dne. As I said I am willing that any
body should have it except those two.
Senator Spooner says he does not want
it. And Mr. Hitt: he is another good
man. There are plenty of good men.
Let .the -convention decide. I don't ex
pect to know and do not expect any
body will know until the balloting be
gins. But the man who built the Ore
gon? Isn't that a slogan which would
stir the country?" The senator asked
the question with much enthusiasm. and
if appearances go for anything Scott is
this day Hanna's candidate for the vice
presidency.
DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
General Average of Prices Slowly He
turning to Normal LeveL
Xew Y'ork, June IS. R. G. Dun &
Ca'a Weekly Review- of Trade says: A
season of declining prices is not wholly
agieeable to business men whose stocks
are lo-sirg their value. Yet there are
times when return to the highest pros
perity in business is not possible except
through readjustment of prices. The
highest prosperity the country had ever
reached, prior to the panic, was in 1S92.
with prices averaging not quite 75 per
cent of their average in ISoC'. After
great depression for several years, the
highest point reached with last year's
recovery was 80 per cent in March 16,
but the gradual yielding has already
returned the aencral average of prices
to a shatle less than 75 per cent, prac
tically where it was during the greatest
prosperity in l'-.:2.
The output of iron furnaces June 1
was 26.:ii6 tons weekly", an increase of
2.f.2 tons, making the yield only 1,63
tons less than at the highest point ever
reached. February 1. But the increase
of unsold stocks to 3XS!.4!0 tons about
94. f;t tons in May. discloses a larger
decline than was expected in the new
business upon which nearly ail the
works and furnaces have now to rely,
and reports that furnaces of consider
able capacity have already been closed
this month seem likely to be correct.
Within a week or two the labor orga
nizations and theemployers will be dis
cussing new demands for higher wages
and shorter hours, and the closing of
many works for lack of order will have
much irt'u -nee about that time. Prices
are gradu. Uy changing, anthracite Xo.
1 to $2U and Pittsburg grey forge to
17.50, and sales of bars are reported
tfeere at S1.50. After the closing of fur
naces and works has more nearly ad
justed present supply to the demand,
the fact that many large operations are
held back until prices have been read
justed, will have its proper influence.
The boot and shoe branch has been,
hindered more than any other manufac
ture this year perhaps by difference as
to prices. Hides at Chicago and to some
extent in eastern markets, have yielded
for months past, giving to dealers in
boots and shoes a belief that the high
prices demanded early this year would
j not be held. The leather companies,
- Vv
ok :.-:- . . " ji. r .i
V
however, have at times made large con
cessions, but in general have resisted a
decline, with the reasoning that the real
difficulty is in the scantiness of buying
demand, and it is urged that wholesale
and retail dealers have on hand too
large stocks taken when the great ad
vance was in progress.
Reconstruction gives slowly in cotton
poods, though a few quotations are
slightly reduced, the uncertain shifting
in the market fur raw cotton having
some innuence, and the halting of ex
ports to China on account of the inter-
strife there. "As Luropean manutac-
lurc' ls "keiy to he aftected m the same
who look for lower prices in the goods
market. No further change appears this
week in the wool markets, although
their stagnation, with irregular prices
for goods beyond the most favored sta
ples, still indicates a downward tenden-
' '
isilk and hemp have also gone low
er, and tne recent fall in rubber helps
new business.
Wheat has been advanced nearly
three cents, with accounts of injury to
growing grain, and the exports from At
lantic ports. Hour included, have been
in two weeks of June. 5.!CS7.l!7 busheis,
against 3,5-6.801 bushels last year.
Pacific exports 1.515.2SS bushels,
against 1,055.512 last year, and corn ex
ports 6.00O.462 against 5.S12.959 last year.
The active movement frcra the farmers
seems to discredit many accounts of in
jury, although receipts have been some
what smaller than last year.. Failures
for the first week of June were, in
amount $11S.S18. of which $1,092,870 I
were in manufacturing and $.333,236 in
trading concerns.
Failures for the week have been 162
in the United States against l:i6 last
