Statement by President CassattTunnel to be Unlit by the Pennsylvania, Ktw ' York Extension Railroad Company ud a IV ew Jersey Railroad Company to be Organized Work to Begin and be Completed as Soon as Possible New York, Dec. 11. A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, to-day made public his plan for securing a New York terminus for his company. He made the following Statement to the Associated Press: "The Pennsylvania Railroad company is now prepared to carry out its policy, long since adopted, of extending its rail road into New York city, therein estab lishing a suitable passenger terminus for the accommodation of the public. To accomplish this on a comprehensive plan the Long Island Extension Rail road company will withdraw its appli cation for powers to construct its ter minal railroad, and in lieu of such in dependent construction it is now pro posed to build, under the charter of the Pennsylvania, New York Extens'oa Railroad company, just organized, and a New Jersey railroad company about to be organized, a through underground connection between the Long Island railroad and the Pennsylvania lines in New Jersey, and to construct a proper and commodious Joint underground ter minal station in New York city for the Pennsylvania and Long Island roads. "After years of exhaustive study the conclusion has been reached tha a tun nel line, operated by electricity, is in "every way the most practical, economi cal and the ttest both for the interests of the railroad company and of the city. The line as adopted will traverse the city of New York from the Hudson riv er to the East river and be underground throughout and at such depth as not to interfere with future construction of subways by the city on all its avenues, similar to the one now building along Fourth avenue. "As the railroad will be wholly un-' derground and operated electrically, in the same manner as the recently con structed Orleans railway extension in Paris, it will not be objectionable in any way. There will not be any smoke, dirt or noise, and as all the surface property may be built upon after being utilized underneath for railroad purposes the neighborhood of the station will be im proved instead of marred, as is so often the case when railroad lines are con j structed on the surface or elevated. The companyhas acquired the bulk of its property for its principal station and means to go forward in the acquisition of such additional properties as will be required, either by purchase or conT demnation, in the,bel!ef that the city authorities will meet their application in a spirit of fairness and expedite as much as possible this much needed Im provement and great public conven ience. Immediately upon the necessary authority being granted the work of construction will proceed and the whole line be completed and put in operation cs soon as possible." JXJUACTIOX IX COPPER CASE.

Hartford, Dec, 11. Shortly after the train due in this city at 4:30 from New Haven left Newington this afternoon the passengers in the smoker were con siderably startled to hear four revolver shots in quick succession and there was a great scramble on the part of the said passengers to escape flying bul lets. The cause of the commotion was Theodore Heydel, a German, who was on his way from Hoboken, to his home in Northampton, Mass. Heydel fired two shots through the car window and then turned the revolver on himself and fired two more shots, one of which took effect in his right cheek. He was taken in charge by the train crew until thl3 city was reached when he was sent to the hospital. It is believed that the man is insane. The bullet wound is not serious. Government Will Not Take the Initia tive In Any Fresh Negotiations They Ulust Now Emanate from the Boers British War Secretary Accuses Burgh ers of Outrages Will Not Much Longer Treat Them as Belligerents. London, Dec. 11. Speaking at Glas gow to-night Mr. Brodrick, the secre- i tary of state for war, referred to Lord Kitchener's report on the shooting of blacks by the Boers. Mr. Brodrisk said this report made it perfectly clear that these murders were not committed in moments of passion but were part of an organized system to cover the tracks of the enemy and to present pos sible information of their whereabouts. Dealing with the present aspect of the war Mr. Brodrick said that the Boers had accepted parole and broken it and that there would be no repetition of such actions. Within recent weeks Boer command ers had shown less regard for the laws of war and that these bandits woufd before long reach a crisis wren they could no longer be treated as belliger ents. The speaker said the government was for no half measures in securing a set tlement and that any fresh negotiations must emanate from the Boers. Mr. Brodrick confirmed the govern ment's decision, already announced, to break up the unhealthy concentration camps and remove the overflow of con- centradoa to the coasts, where attempts would be made to provide them with more permanent shelters. Referring critically to the dissensions in the liberal party Mr. Broderlck creat ed amusement by declaring that had Lord Rosebery been premier the liber als would have a right to his counsel as the captain could not withdraw and sulk in his cabin during rough weather, especially if the first mate had turned pirate and was engaged in looting the carffo. VETOED BY MAYOR STVDLEY. The Order for Appointment of an Ordl nance Revision Commission. Mayor Studley announced last even ing that he had decided to veto the or der passed by the court of common council conferring upon the mayor the power of appointing a commission to revise the ordinances. The reasons for the veto will be announced later. This matter Is one which had been pending before the court of common council for a long time. Included in the appropriations for the present year was an item of $2,000 for the pay for a commission to revise the ordinances. The scheme to have such a commission appointed has been quite generally characterized as a "grab" scheme, and since $3,000 was spent for a very com plete revision of the ordinances only about five years ago there was consid erable opposition to now spending $2,000 more for the same purpose. The order for the appointment of a commission to do the revision and receive the $2,000 was passed through the court of com mon council Dy a combination of re publican votes with a few democratic votes and at the time of Its passage there was considerable talk to the effect that there was a deal by which it was effected. If there was a deal the may or's veto has very effectually put an end to It. The $2,000 appropriated for payment to some one to do the job is now saved to the city and will revert to the city treasury.

Declares the Waterway is Not Placed Kntlrely Under American Control Says the Convention Reproduces the Restrictions of the Old Sues Canal Treaty Senator Cullom Defends the Measure Washington, Dec. 11. Two speeches on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty were made In the executive session of the senate to-day, one by Senator Bacon, In opposition to the treaty, and the other by Senator Cullom, the prospec tive chairman of the committee on for eign relations, in support of it. Mr. Bacon replied to the speech made yesterday by Senator Lodge. He sum med up his objections in the statement that he could not freely accept any treaty which does not place the isth mian canal entirely under American auspices and American control. This he said, the pending treaty does not do, nor does it do anything like it. He also pointed out that the treaty repro duces the restrictions of the old Suez canal treaty, which had been incorpo rated in the original convention. He charged that these restrictions had been copied almost verbally from the old treaty, the only material change be ing in the omission of the words "in time of war as in tiem of peace" from rule 1 of the Suez canal agreement. This omission did not, In his opinion, change the character of the agreement. "The only reply," he said, "which the advocates of the treaty make to criti cisms Is that the canal would be under the full control of the United States in time of war but this is no more true now that under the old treaty, and it is a strange thing that all the provisions refer to the control of the canal in war, notwithstanding it Is contended here that in that contingency the removal of this phase places the canal under our absolute control." He said the war restrictions of the treaty .were entirely Inconsistent with the claims of Senator Lodge that this country should say who should use the canal and who should not in case of hostilities. He considered the pending treaty every whit as objectionable as the treaty of last session and quoted the fourth article of the pending treaty as follows: "It is agreed that no change o fterrltorial sovereignty or of internal relations of the country or countries At the Howe & Stetson Stc: New Haven, Thursday, December the twelftL.
