The French and English companies that have agreed to bore each half of the tunnel under the Channel that separates England from the Continent, are pushing their plans just as if the British Parliament had already pass- ed the bill authorizing its construc tion, The French Parliament has already given its consent, and well informed diplomats say that it is a foregone conclusion, now that both nations have given so much evidence of late of the entente cordiale, that the Brit- ish solons will pass the bill unani- mously. A new model, which shows the course of the proposed tunnel across the Straits of Dover, is'now exhibited by the French company, giving the different geological strata through which the boring, would made. This model was constructed" by M. Ludovic Breton, the chief engineer of the company, and one of the most noted geologists of modern times. Already at Sangatte, below Calais, near the coast, the plant of the French company has been erected, and a similar structure is in course of con- struction on the English side. Desire of Two Nations. For nearly a century the tunnel has been broached in both countries off and on, but not until 1875 was any decided move made. Then a French society' was formed under the presidency of Michael Che- valier, the noted economist, with a capital of 2,000,000 francs. One-fourth of the shares were taken by the De Rothschilds, and the French Parlia- ment sanctioned the project. At the same time an English concern was organized. It was planned that from each side a separate tunnel should be built. This the British, Parliament permitted, but when in 1880 the two companies were merged and each wanted to build half of the tunnels s0 as to meeet in the middle of the channel, Lord Wolseley sounded the alarm, and said the tunnel would prove a great menace to England in case of war. He had no objection to a bridge that could be blown up. The Britons passed a bill forbidding the construction ' of the tunnel, but not until from each side a mile of under- ground tube had been bored. Two TRirty-Mile Tunnels. Nearly a quarter of a century has elapsed since the last bill was rejected by a selec? committee of Eords and Commons, and now a new bill is about to be introduced in the hope that the increased friendship of the two countries, the advance of science, and the reliability of the modern ex- plosive, which would enable the tun- nel to be blocked instantly in case of emergency, will completely do away with the old objections. The proposed tunnel is to be thirty miles in length, running from Shake- speare Cliff, near Dover, to Sangatte, near Calais, in France. It is figured that the cost will be about $50,000,000. The immense advantage of this dry- land link cannot be overestimated, for it is reckoned that a saving of at least five shilling in the ton would be effected on merchandise, and for passengers the knowledge that it was possible to get from London to all parts' of the Continent without the discomforts of a channel crossing and the risk of mal-de-mer would be quite sufficient inducement to more than double the passenger traffic in both directions. One of the tunnels will be for out ward traffic, which would then run direct from London to all the coun- tries of Europe, and the other tunnel for the incoming trains by the "Chem- in de Fer du Nord." Hot Place to Work. The great drawback to the difficult operation of piercing a long tunnel, as demonstrated by the Simplon is that the interior of the excavation is extremely hot, thus making work very difficult, but the character of the sub- soil through which the Channel tun- nel would be bored is altogether dif- ferent from that through which the Simplon was pierced. Then, again, another difficulty pre- sents itself, the question: Would there be any danger from sudden inrushes of water, considering the enormous masses that would roll ceaselessly overhead? One would imagine that there would be grave danger, but experts declare that there would be very little, and they confidently as- sert that the infiltration of water would not be nearly so much as is often seen during the sinking of mines.

More than 1,000 peasant ratepayers of Glenties, on the West Donegal coast, gathered in the town recently, marched to the board room of" the Guardians, and compelied them by threats of violence to rescind two resolutions by which the pay of two workhouse officials was increased. The poor-rate of the Glenties Unie) is over eight shillings in'the poun and the district is one of the poorest in Ireland. The men who assembled in the town on Saturday represented avery district of the widely scattered union. Théy were armed with sticks and bludgeons. A posse of police under a district inspector was. present, but made no impression on the crowd of Angry ratgpayers. The Guardians were so terrified that, with one exception, they dis- claimed any connection with the reso- lutions. The exception was the chair- man, who point out that one resolu- tion granting an increase of pay to Canon McFadden, the chaplain of the "The morning cup of coffee * often shapes the day. It should be Chase & Sanbom's. union, had been passed unanimously by a full board of 42 members, and that the other resolution increasing the pay of Michael McNelis, clerk to the union, had been passed by a majority of 83 votes. The crowd threatened to throw him out of the window, and he had to re- sume his seat. "The ratepayers are already over- burdened," cried one of the invaders. "What do the Guardians expect us to pay in the future? Out with such Guardians? They know the poor of God in the workhouse, but they do not know the poor of God outside. We'll all of us be in, the workhouse soon." The crowd did not leave until the Guardians had rescinded the objec- tionable resolutions. The furniture of the board room was badly damaged by the heavy, nailed boots of the visitors. When they finally went away they told the Guardians they would throw them all out of the window if they had occas. ion to return. The rescinding resolution was pass- ed in spite of a letter from the Local Government Board stating that it had approved the increase in pay, and that, therefore, a rescinding resolu- tion would have no legal effect. Superiority of English. English is spoken by about 150,000,- 900, and Spanish by about, 50,000,000 people. The difference is not due to any inherent superiority of the Eng- lish language, but to the superiority of the English stock, says a writer in "Success." The English not only have the greater genius for commer- cial and political co-operation and colonization, but they have, as well, built up their institutions on the en- during basis of righteousness and re- spect for law. Spanish is incompar- ably more musical than English, and is practically phonetic, while English is handicapped by its arbitrary spell- ing. On the other hand English is often briefer, though not always. Spanish can say "I shall go" in one word--"Ire." The great advantage of English is its double vocabulary, one of Teutonic and one of Latin origin, which enables it to make nice dis- tinctions. Tt has also acquired the power to assimilate words from every language under the sun. These facts, together with the greater intellectual activity of the English race in many fields of human endeavor, have swell ed its vocabulary to startling figures. The "Standard Dictionary" contains over 317,000 words. I do not believe any Spanish dictionary contains half as many. English Cars Superior. The following letter was addressed recently to The New York Herald: 1 was surprised at the luxury of night travel in Great Britain.
