Indeed, it is no exaggeration to assert that until five years ago France. Germany and Italy had no means of communication with their transpontine depen dencies save by the English submarine cable?, which, of course. Is equivalent to saying that they would have been cut off from all telegraphic Inter course With their colonies In the event of their happening to become involved in war with Eng land. Now. however, thanks to Emperor William. Ger many has two independent cables of her own with America, has completed an arrangement which gives her a predominating voice in the laying of cables intended to connect her Pacific and Far Eastern possessions with the Dutch East Indies and to form part of a great non-British telegraphic system, while during the present year the Kaiser proposes to lay a cable between the Azores and his West African colonies. In fact. Emperor William has almost completed the scheme whereby he has rendered Germany entirely independent of Great Britain in the matter of submarine cable com municSifon. ECONOMIES AT THE VATICAN. Those devout Catholics in America who contribute so generously to the support of the Papacy by means of the Peter Pence, will be gratified to learn that the present Pontiff has inaugurated an alto gether new financial regime at the Vatican, where he has been cutting down expenditures in every di rection, the economies t-ffected thus far amounting to 1,000.000 francs, that is to say, $200.0<X>, a year. It has all been done in a quiet, unostentatious way, and while, of course, there has been an immense amount of grumbling among those prelates and lay dignitaries who have been deprived of their per quisites, little has been heard of the matter either in the Italian or foreign press. In his pro gramme of retrenchment Pius X is ably seconded by his Secrrt?ry of State, who, being possessed of a considerable private fortune of his own. disdains petquisites and sinecure-. There has always been a certain uneaslnesH among Catholics In this country as to the manner in which their donations to the Church were ad ministered at the Vatican, and while it must be admitted that taring the reign of Leo XIII un fortunate investments and the malfeasance of of ficials were the causes of considerable losses, the subscribers to the Peter Pence may now rest assured that every cent subscribed will be care fully husbanded, turned to the best account for the good of the Church, and that nothing will be squandered or wasted in disastrous speculations. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that the Pope has no right to all the back payments of the annuity of $600,000 awarded to him by the Italian government at the time when it seized Rome, thirty-five years ago. The Papacy has never yet accepted this money from the Italian Treasury. But at the time when it was granted, this attitude on the part of the Vatican was foreseen, and it was expressly stipulated that at the end of every five years the accumulations of the undrawn annuity should revert to the Italian government and be therefore lost to the Papacy. Should, therefore, Pius X decide during the course of the ensuing twelv# months to accept the annuity, he will be entitled, not only to the SfiOO.ooo for the cur rent year, but also to the accumulations of the last four years, that is to say, $3,000,000 altogether. KING EDWARD'S CLOCKS. It is doubtful whether there is any sovereign in the world who possesses such an extraordinary number of clocks as King Edward. He has always had a hobby for collecting clocks, and when he succeeded to the throne he inherited an Immense number from his mother. Some of them are of great historical value, as. for instance, the one at Windsor given as a present by King Henry VIII to Quern Anne Boleyn on her wedding day. It is only four inches deep, and ten inches high, for merly belonged to Horace Walpole. and was pur chased by the late Queen Victoria, when his ef fects were Eold at Strawberry Hill, for about $600. This love token of England's "Bluebeard" mon arch remains the same after nearly four centuries. The clock still goes. Strictly speaking, it should hare stopped forever when Queen Anne was sent by her husband to th<- scaffold after four years of marriage. The weights are beautifully engraved. "H. A." and a true lover's knot on one, and "H. A."' alone on the other. The chief curiosity in the way of clocks at Buck ingham Palace is the Negress Head clock, made by Leplne, whom Voltaire befriended, and engaged to establish a watch manufactory near Geneva. In this clock the hour numerals are shown in one of the negress's twinkling eyes, and the minutes la the other. It stands 2 feet "■» inches high, the head and bust being in ormolu enriched with magnificent decorative features. King Edwards clocks number nearly two thou sand. At Windsor there are more than five hun dred alone. They are all carefully inventoried in a number of large volumes in the, possession of the Lord Chamberlain's department, which is responsi ble for the care and lor the custody of the collec tion.

NBW-YOBK DAILY TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1566. CITY OF THE FUTURE. 1 Nelson P. Lewis Describes It as Greatest in the World. Nelson P. Lewis, chief engineer of the Board of Estimate, delivered an address as the retiring presi dent at the annual meeting of the Society of Mu nicipal Engineers, last evening, at the hall of the Chemists* Club, No. 108 West 55th-st. He said, In part : "We have been shown during the year how the work , done by members of this society for the Board of ( Education has made the buildings of. that depart- i rrent. as well as Its curriculum, contribute to the ; uplift of the city and its people. Your attention ■was called in my former annual address to the vast improvements being made by the Pennsylvania and | the New-York Central railroads in the construction of great terminal stations. _ .. An admirable illustration of the education erf the I public taste for more creditable structures and the ; responsiveness even of railroad companies to this ; demand is furnished in the revised plans of the New-York Central Railroad Company for Us terminal station, which h.iva recently been sub mitted to the city oflicers for their approval. Th« > original plans contemp!:U< d the erection of a sta- I tion building which might prove profitable to the j company by its use for other than .station pur- I poses, and it was proposed to Include in it a hotel, j a theatre or other place of amuscnent. offices for rental, and possibly a large department store or a series of shoes. In fact, the station was to be a huge building, wliich would represent a maximum of eamina; ca pacity by the rental of space not needed for rail road purposes. Upon more mature consideration, ; however, the railroad company has decided to erect a monumental building, which will be one of the j most notable additions to the architecture of the j city, and which will be nothing but a great, rail way station for the accommodation of the public. Another evidence lately given us that public ser- ! vice corporations are manifesting a willingness to I assume voluntarily large expense for improvements • which neither the city nor the State could compel ] them to undertake is the recent action of the New- i York, New- Haven and Hartford Railroad Com- : pany in planning to convert its Harlem River ■ branch into a modern, six track, electrically op erated railroad, and to eliminate every grade cross- • ing along its line within the limits of the city. The situation has been a peculiar one. Many of the streets crossing this line did co at grade. To carry them over or under the railroad would hare Involved the depression or elevation of their tracks, as well as the raising or lowering of the streets. Numerous complaints of these dai'gerous crossings had been received, and it was realized that the im possibility of carrying additional streets across the tracks was retarding the development of the adja cent territory. I 'will not assume the role of prophet, but In i striving to look forward to the New-York City of the future. 1 fancy I can see the greatest city of the world, greatest not only in area, population and wealth, but in those attributes which go to make up the truly great metropolis — greatest In her public buildings, in h«:r temples consecrated to re ligion. music and the drama, in her institutions of learning;, in her provision for amusement and recreation, in her zealous and efficient care for the public health, In the wisdom shown in her public and private charities, for the care of the unfortu nate and helpless, and In the Justice, combined with mercy, shown in her treatment of- vice and crime. I see a great city welded into a homogeneous whole by easy, rapid anil ample facilities for transportation, enabling the residents of each por tion to reach any other portion with comfort and speed, and where provincialism has given way to a broad metropolitan spirit: where great public works are undertaken, not in response to ill con | sidered and hysterical public clamor, but in con formity with carefully considered plans made I after mature study by experts in the permanent service of the city, and which will not be changed at the caprice of those holding office for brief periods. — / In their execution a policy of broad liberality, without extravagance, and economy free from nig pardliness. will prevail. You ask me what potent influence will result in the creation of such con ditions and produce an enlightened public senti ment which will demand them. My answer i? a simple one; if the municipal engineers of the city of New- York will live to the highest standards of , their profession; If they will .iemoristrate their | efficiency and devotion to the highest ideals; if they : will serve the city with cjnKit'ness of purpose, and I give to i: the best that is in thorn, not stopping to | consider whether they are giving in effective work I more than they are receiving aa compensation, the ! public will Boon learn to believe in them, will rely upon their judgment, and will demand that the control ol our public works shall he placed more , and more rrmplptely in their hands When this shall have been <lorie. T am optimistic enough to believe that the conditions I have endeavored to d°scri!-*> will result. GOVERNOR HIGGINS GOES HOME. Albany.

LOCKHART HEIRS DIVIDE. Daughter to Receive Share of Estate Estimated at $150,000,000. [BY TELEGRAPH TO TUB TaißCSra.] Plttaburs, Feb. 2.— Mrs. W. S. Flower, daugh ter of the late Charles Lockhart. who was practically disinherited by her father, getting only the Income of- $300,000 for life, according to the provisions of his will, will be taken care of by her two brothers and two sisters, and It will not be, therefore, necessary for her to at tempt to break the will. Instead of getting $300,000, Mrs. Flower, who offended her father by eloping- with a poor dentist years ago. will receive, it is said, something like §30.000,000, the share which would have been hers had she not offended her father. It is announced to-day by a friend of the fam ily that the brothers and sisters have had sev eral conferences since the will was read, and it has been decided that each of the four fortunate onea will hand over to Mrs. Flower enough to make her share the same as their own. This will mean about $7,600,000 from each of the brothers and sisters, as the estate of Mr. Lock hart is now estimated at not less than $150,000; 000. It is said to-day that for years his quar terly income from Standard Oil stock alone was or $18,000^000 yearly. From a close friend of the family to-day comes the story that it was not the elopement which caused Mr. Lockhart to out oft his daughter, but the fact that she did not name her first child lor any member of the Lockhart family.

On Tuesday, February 14. an actor named Aldora Shem is going to present this town a valentine, aa a token of his regard- but whether of his regard for this town or for Aldora Shem remains to be seen. He is going to play "Hamlet" at tbe New- York Theatre at a matinee.

Mrs. Helen Potts Hall, who obtained a decree of divorce from Blakely Hall some years ago. got an order yesterday from Justice Scott, in the Supreme Court, directing Mr. Hall to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court for hi* failure to pay her the alimony of lob a month which the decree awarded her. She complained that for the last three months Mr. Hall had omitted to remit her her alimony, and that arrears of $JSO had accumulated. Mrs. Hall declared she was entitled to the whole estate of George F.

FIRE IN NORFOLK NAVY YARD Blaze Destroys Building in Torpedo Boat Reserve Station. \ [BT TELSGKAPH TO THE TH!H< I Norfolk, Feb. 2.— Fire, which started at 3:30 o'clock this BBorntna in the boiler room at the United State-* Reserve Torpedo Boat station at the navy yard, threatened for a. tin*© the property of the government. There was great delay in fighting the flames, owing to the failure to reach the en gine companies of Portsmouth by telephone. Finally a messenger on foot was dispatched for the city firemen. The apparatus became stalled in the snow on the -way to the scene. The sailors from at. Helena Station assist In extinguishing th.- tire, which destroyed the building in which it originated.

Das Rhein^old" Again. ? illness of Mr. Goritx worked some mischief to th« performance of "Das Rheingold." at the Metropolitan Opera House yesterday afternoon, in (cmpelling the employment of inefficient repre sentatives of Dormer (Mr. Dufriche) and Fasolt (Mr. Greder) in order that Mr. Munlmarm might b« moved into the place of Mr. Gorits as All>«Tich. These changes, however, were a smaller hindrance to an understanding and enjoyment of Wagner's purposes than the stage management, which, in the first scene e-»p*cialiy. was xhamefully inadequate. Barring the flrst representation of this season flve weeks ago. it can truthfully be said that the prologue to Wagner'a Nibelung tragedy never had so poor a performance at the Metropoli tan Op-ra House. Not for a. moment In the first scene were words and action in consonance, ;ind all the delineative purposes of the music were lost. It was pitiful that such admirable impersonations aa Miss Fremstad's Frlcka, Mr. Burgstallers Loge. Mr. Van Rooys Wo tan and Mr. Blass's Fafner should have been weighted with such clogs as the stage manager put upon them. Mr MUhlmann acted the part of Alberu-.h for the first time. What ever he may have done in the way of action in the first scene was done in impenetrable ilarki. no matter how much he had tried h<- could not have presented the dramatic Incidents of the, scene, for t)i" manipulation of thp Rhine daughters made it impossible. But Mr. Mtihlmann declaimed his lines ad7nirably. A PIANOFORTE RECITAL.
