NEW YORK, June 12.—It is understood that when Sir Weetman Pearson, the great English contractor, was in this country recently en route, home from Mexico he was consulted in a casual way by Central Pacific officials concerning the feasibility of tunneling an arm of San Pablo Bay to a point at or near Benicia, Cal., in order to obviate the necessity of ferrying trains ‘across this bay on boats. No definite conclusion was reached, the conversation being merely incidental to the discussion of other business matters. Not having seen San Pablo Bay, Sir ‘Weéetman Pearson could not give an opin- fon offhand, and, of course, in the ab- sence of reports of Southern Pacific or his own engineers could make no authorl- tative statement as to the feasibility of the work or give a rough estimate of its cost. The Southern Pacific officials, however, realize that the popular and increasing requirement of greater speed will neces- sitate the tunnel sooner or later, in addi- tion to a ferry or bridge at that point. The Central Pacific has for a long time had under consideration the plan to bridge the narrowest point of the bay. Pearson’s firm is now engaged in boring tunnels under East River, from New York to Long Island, for the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Pearson firm is the largest concern of this kind in existence and at the present time has works aggregating $30,000,000 under way in various parts of the world. This firm built the London subway, also the Blackwell tunnel under the Thames River at London. This tun- nel is one and a quarter miles long, the roadway sixteen feet wide and the tube twenty-seven feet in diameter. Although the East River tunnel is prac- tically being bored through solid rock, Pearson does not consider it as difficult as the Thames River bore through treacherous sand and gravel, which gave way several times and almost flooded the tunnel. In order to prevent its collapse under the weight of forty feet of water at high tide the men worked in short shifts in an atmospheric pressure of twenty pounds to the square inch. The bore was made by an immense steel shield in the face of which the workmen oper- ated. This is also being used under the East River. The shield is driven forward by means of hydraulic rams, while the bore is kept clear of water encroachment by means of compressed air. Engineers some time ago pronounced the feat of boring under the Thames River an im- possible one, but the tunnel was com- pleted and was formally opened by Prince’| Edward, now King of England. Sir Weetman Pearson (Baronet) is a member of Parllament. He has recently returned from Mexico, where he has at various times undertaken and completed great public works for the Mexican Gov- ernment, including the vast Mexican Val- ley drainage canal, costing $15,000,000, and the Tehuantepec Railroad, which hopes to compete with the Panama line. Presi- dent Diaz considers the Tehuantepec work, with its bridges over deep chasms, its tunnels under great mountains and the Atlantic and Pacific terminals and deep sea harbor works, as wonderful en- gineering feats. Sir Weetman Pearson expressed great admiration for the enterprise of Ameri- can railroads. Although his firm has been accustomed to handle big contracts, the enormous outlays of money being made for improvements by some of the rail- roads in the United States, notaviy the Pennsylvania Railroad, he says, would be enough to stagger the imagination of the average English or continental railroad company. He considers the Pennsylvania a model of perfect railroad equipment. Pearson's work for the Pennsylvania will be completed within three to five years. He has returned to London, but expects soon again to visit this country, which time he may make a trip to lifornia. —_————————— THE REPUBLICAN SPLIT IN - RANKS IN HAWAIIAN ISLES Two Sets of Candidates Nominated for Qi the Offices of Supervisors and Sheriff.

Ex-Senator Johnston, P. B. Green and several other wealthy land owners had formed a new reclamation district and engaged the big dredger Mogul to throw up earth for the enclosing levees. Ir. order to move the dredger back into the Sacramento River it was necessary to cut a space in the river levee. A semi- circular dam was built around the point and the levee cut. The dam gave y to-day and the water from the river rushed through in a torrent, flooding the bean, potato and other crops over a large area. The dredger was thrown against the telephone lines, prostrating them. A report reached Sacramento to-night from Freeport that the break, which was near the Bryan place, was seventy-five feet wide and the water was coming through from the river at a depth of five feet. —_—————— ALDERMAN WILL FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OF VOTERS Friends of San Dicge Recall Movement to Await Decision of Mass- Meeting.
