Boudinot Keith has i en the following letter to Ln.v relative tu the uumber Of tracks needed in sutntay below the City Hall, in Manhattan: "Dear sir I have read with interest the following statement in your honor's reeent. message: 'If four tracks are insisted upon flown Broadway from the bridge to the Batterv it will result in great Having had the pleasure of heanug the testimony of' the Rapid Transit Commission's engineer, given before the commissioners appointed to pass upon the section of the route in question. I leipectiuiiy beg to take issue with 'if elusion which your honor draws in this lion of your message.

con pnr "So far as the engineering features of the problem are concerned, the portion of the tunnel which would take the greatest time to complete would be the portion under the East River, about a mile in length, the work upon which can be prosr.teil from two points of attach only, whereat, "ndcr flroau ay the construction ear. proceed at many different points riraaitniienusiy. along a very considerable poriion of the Broadway section a four track construction is uuiuemp.aiea tinier tne nrc owing to the depression nf the tracks, which run under the irr: in the ioop at South rrv. lt the Brooklyn the tracks crjdi'. p.

Ty. the. Rapid Transit before the Corn mo of the I'rom my reading of law and the testimony ruissioners. I infer that a picposed plans to previ le additional track. would not necessitate further legal proceedings by the Rapid Transit Commission, provided the structure was not widened so as to cause additional lateral encroachment on the street.

"The lower Broadway route is designed primarily in the interest of Brooklyn travel. The question, therefore, is. to what extent is that trave' provided for by Hie present plan? "Four tracks on lower Broadway connecting with two tubes under the East River would mean two clear tracks from City Hull. Xew York, to Borough Kail. Brooklyn.

Trains of eight cars running on one minute headway would accommodate about 24.000 seated persons per hour: possibly double litis number, if the cars were to be packed as the bridge cars are at present. Thin would be the utmost capacity for the Brooklvn traffic If four tracks were provided. "The time between the Citv Hall and Borough Hall of Brooklyn by tunnel wouici. according to Mr. Parsons, be one half that required to trave between the same elaccs by the bridge: and it is safe to assume, therefore, that the majoritv nf Brooklvn passengers will use the tunnel.

"Mr. On testified that during the rush boors as many as persons per hour are carried over the bridge. As this takes no account of the ferry travel, it is evident that four tracks, if put into operation to day, would not morn than meet the requirements of the situation. It js impossible to foretell how much greater these requirements will be when the road is in operation, three years hence. "Under the arrangement contemplated by the present plans, the New York and Brooklyn travel is carried or.

"The question, therefore, remains to he answered whether Brooklyn is to rest satisfied with aceemnieda ien l.v of scarcely 12. 'inn seated na. sr per hour, or whether the Rapid Transit ommisslon will provide the means of relief has the power to provide hofore the niinake made of building the grotesquely inaoVuv.n: road proposed."

but ii is not likely thr.t General and the last nf the soldiers will return uniil some lime later. Tile War Department proposes to maintain its rigid system of auditing all Cuban accounts right up to ihe bst moment, and it will net surrender the papers, record. and belongings of the various government offices until th" duly authorized officials of the new government give receipts in full. The War Department does not propose' run the risk of having the tail end of its ndministrp in Cuba spoiled by turning ovev the affairs of government before a clean bill of hea'th is presented by the r.ew authorities. Every move of ihe transfer process will be carried out on the same strict rules that have governed under the Army regime.

Accordingly, it is not thought that the final transfer will be concluded before June. General Wood is expected to remain in Havana up lo the last. ARTILLERYMAN WAYLAID. Thomas Frazer Says Two Footpads Ret lieved Him of S20. Thomas Frazer.

a young artilleryman sta tloned at Fort Hamilton, had an enenuuter with two footpads early last evening, and was relieved by them of S20 in cash. Frazer had been out with a party of friends and visited a number of South Brooklyn where he enjoyed himself. He bail parted with his companions and was on his way io take a car back to Fort Hamilton, when a' Van Brunt street he was set upon by tvui men. who, he says, took his roll, amounting to $20. He told the police of his experience and Officers Hever and Masterscui of the Hamilton avenue station arrested two whom they charged with being Frazer's as addresses of Stephen McPaddeen.

25 years old, of 57 Checver place, and John Sullivan, I 28 years old, of 182 Hamilton avenue. NO FORMAL CHARGES MADE. It Is Declared. However, That Silenced" Elders Disobeyed Mandates of District Authorities. The Mormon Church in Brooklyn has two elders less ban it hud before the recent meeting of the district conference at the Church of Jesus Christ on McDouga! street.

Xo elder has voluntarily given up spreading the light of Joseph Smith's gospel among the people of this city, but two of the missionaries of (he church have been "silenced" by the coufer erenee. By an advertisement in the Enui to dnv ihc district president. Eider Joseph of 227 McDouga 1 street, gives public no lice that Elders A. li. L.

Gunn and Edward' Posts of the Brooklyn branch of the church! are "silenced" for cause. This means that' he.v are no longer elected of the prophet of: the Latter Day Saints to lead men and worn 1 en to embrace Mormonism. No charges were preferred against these elders, but they are as effectually barred from I preaching as if Prophet Jofepli Smith himself had sealed their lips. Some higher authori tier, in the church were not pleased with the elders and they were not pleased with the I higher authorities, and on the pretext of ln subordination they were old that they were i no longer to continue their ministerial and evangelical work. The affair has caused some hard feelings among the Mormons of Brooklyn, but the elders declare that there is no split, nor danger ot one.

Kliler Edward Potts, one of the "silenced preachers, is a brother of Presiding Elder lieor.fre I'olis of the Brooklyn branch of the church. Presiding Elder Potts was seen by an Eagle reporter and while he was averse 'o discussing the causes leading to the "silencing" of the two elders, he was anxious to make known publicly his disapproval of course taken by the district church authorities in the matter, lie raid that the publication of the fact that the elders had been waa a step which be con liemed. It was wrong to thus humiliate the men. against whom no charges had been broughl. he declared.

It seems that Elders Potts and Gunn have not been working entirely in harmony with the district authorities, and have even gone r.o far. it is claimed, as to defy their commands. There was some feeling in the mat ter. arising from causes which neither Elder Squire, the district president, nor Presiding Elder Potts would discuss yesterday, and ibis brought about the revocation of Elders ISdward Potts' and Gunu's authority to preach the gospel of the Book of Mormon. Cue cause of the district conference's ae iion was that the elders refused to make a report of their work to the district president.

They did niisr.ionary work principally and were sent to eliitercni portions oi ureaier N'ew fori; and also over in Jersey and Connecticut, and they refused, it is said, to turn in reports of their work on these trips. It was said also that they neglected their work. Elder Gunn is said to have made a pointed speech in the district conference, telling why he hud disobeyed ihe mandates cf the district authorities. Neither of the "silenced" elders could bo seen and no other elder would discuss Elder Genu's reasons for his course. CANAL COMPANY'S GRANTS.

Secretary Atkins Places Their Value at Four or Five Million Dollars. Washington. March Thomas B. Atkins, secretary of the Maritime Canal Company, was examined at considerable length beforo the Senate Committee on Isthmian Canals to day regarding the concessions which had been made to thai company. He said that the company had paid to the Nicaraguan government fer lands along ihe right of way.

Ho said the com pany could not dc anything without the as si.stance cf tin United States. The N'icar aguan concessions had been cancelled bv the Cn1PaU" There never had been any cancellation of! the concessions and franchises which the Maritime Company had obtained from Costa Kiea and these ceueesstonr. were exclusive.

The canal could it'ii be constructed or operated without ihs meessionr. in Costa Rica, lie was asked what wouici be the effect if the Cnited States should acquire a concession from Costa Rica along the same roule. He replied that it would be a violation of the company's concession, but added that the company, while assert ing its right to the eoneessinp. would not do so obstructively so as to prevent ihe United Slates from constructing the cuu.al. The spirit of the company was lo le ave the matter to the I'niled States government believing that the government would deal equitably with the company which had so long held these valuable concessions and expended a greal amount ot uv ney in work.

He mentioned four or five million dollars as ihe value of the' claims of the company. T. P. Alexander, a civil engineer, who had spent some time cn the islhmus. gave information of a technical character to the committee.

Fifth Avenue Residents Object to the Bemoval of the Trolley Line From the Bridge. A great many South Brooklynites, who live along or near the route of the Fifth avenue trolley line, are very much enraged at the decision of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Company to cease running the Fifth avenue cars over the bridge.

Beginning to morrow morning all Finn avenue ears, ex ceptiug those on ihe elevated, of course. will be sent to one of three ferries Hamil ton. South or Fulton. This is in accordance with Bridge Commissioner l.indenthal's idea that Ihc Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company should relieve the crowded conditions on the bridge by diverting traffic to the ferry beats. The Rapid Transit Company was in doubt as to which line of ears to divert, but it finally agreed upon those of the Fifth ave nue route, nccause ttie motor service motor service on Fifth avenue provided better transit to Manhattan than was i.ossible on the trolleys.

Notwithstanding, the residents are kicking. Some call the action of ihc company outrageous discrimination against the patrons of the Fifth avenue line. There is even talk of holding a mass meeting. All this, ton, before the proposed change has taken effect. FIKE IN FRENCH AP.SENAL.
