Steinwav mada a anaelal study of the rapid-transit question, having an occasional object lessoa the Berlin Viaduct Ratt-road, known the Stadtbahn." Mr. Btela- way thinks the Berlin road Is the aearest aiv proach to aa Ideal system which mechanical and inventive genius hM yet evolved. (The road Is about tea English miles long and! traverses xseriin rrom cut to west, following the line of the river Bpree. It la a four-track str Ucbure with from four to six side tracks at some ef the stations, and even tea at Alexander Plata, where the principal market Is situated, and; with tea stations along the line about a mOe apart, The structure la built cheaply of masonry, with troa bridges crossing the Bpree at four points and Iron viaducts spanning soma of tha; principal Streets. i Trains run at Intervals of three mlnnta tn tha busy part of the day.

having as many tea coupes sometimes, with second and, jthlrdclaM carriages, the fare being 30 pfennigs for the seo- ond-elau and 20 pfennigs for the' third-class for a round trip. On week days only two of the tracks are used for local traffic the iother two being used for the regular railway trafflo on all the roads running into Berlin, every one ot which Is Intersected by the Stadtbahn. On Sundays, however, all four tracks srei given up to local truffle. The average rate of speed 00 the road la fifteen and a half miles an hour. Mr.

Bteinway says thst in consequence of the nntheHtadt. nana make 1ms noise than an ordinary street car, with tbe bell left out of consideration. Aa to the applicability of this system to J'ew-York. Mr. Bteinway said of course there were topo- KnjiiucBi uimouiuos wnica were not encoun- terea in and wHlch would maka anmo difference, bnt these did not seem to him to be any reason wny, in conjunction with an Improved elevated railroad system and the underground system recommended by the com Us Ion in im report to Mayor Grant ia June last, there auuiuu uo do worxea out xor jtew-xorK tlty a scheme which for it would be near an approach to the ideal tbe Btadtbahn was In Berlin.

He believed that it would be nerfectir feasible to carry the Elm Street rent nnnh. warn rrom jrorty-secona Btreet by an elevated or viaduct snd underground (where neceasarrl structure over the tracks ot tbe New-York Central system, using the New-York Central via duct ior tne foundations where necessary, to the Harlem River and beyond. Bo mnch for the central system. For the west side he hsd received a suggestion from Mr. De-pew which seemed to him to re more from tbe problem a great many of.

tbe difficulties which bad heretofore seemed This was that the roadway of the New-York Central system from Tonkers alono- tbe Rnriaan Rlvr southward to Thirty-eighth Btreet, through West Btreet to Canal, and then to Washington Btreet, might be Utilized for another atronz iy.hullt fone. iracs sisisiea raiiroaa. 110m anal Htreet Washington Btreet would afford an line to the Battery. Faillnsr in this, the lino misht be continued over tbe New-York Central Ballroed track to Canal and Hudson jBtreet. or to Bt, John's Park, where the Central system terminates, and beyond, if feasible, to Chambers Street.

This route would do away with the question of damages for the easements to abut. ting property, st IcMt In a very large meaaore, and would, in the opinion of capitalists, make a road that would from the very beginning prove unwuiij pruniBoie. The Berlin railroad traversed, when' originally constructed, an exceedingly lowly section of the he proved immensely profitable the value of adjolutng property hM InereMed on the average city, sun ue aoumiDuon si mishih vw per cent, ana tne moral and social conditions of the people Inhabiting these neighborhoods have Improved in similar meuora. 1 But all these thing. Mr.

Bteinway eaid, would ne impose! Die lor New-York, unless the rapid-transit laws, under which any commission that eouia do appointed would be governed, were materially amended by the Legislature. Tbe limitations upon the use ot Fourth Avenue north of Forty-second Btreet and the restrictions upon crossing under, over, through, or upon Forty-eeeond Btreet and anv street In which there is at present an elevated railroad structure would have to be removed. Whether the Legislature would amend these laws so to laereana the powers of any commission that the Mayor of hew-York might appoint most necessarily be a matter of speculation. But Mr. Bteinway felt that If the commission appointed In April last by Mayor Grant ahould be reappointed, it would unuouutouiy agree unanimously npon some few recommendations to the Legislature to amendments of the resent rapid-transit laws.

and a recommendation of this character eoming from a board composed of such men as John EC Btarln. August Belmont, Orlando B. potter, and ooaoury lAngaon. to My nothing 01 himself, would, he thought, be given respectful heed by any Legislsture thst wss likely to be Chosen. It had never been the idea of the commission named to stop with the laying out ot the Elm Btreet route, with tne paruajuiars of which the readers of Taa Tinas are familiar.

In accordance with the wishes of ths Mayor, It bad intended to lay oat a complete system of rapid transit for the entire city, sufficient for Its prospective needs for very many years. Whether he would be able to work upon any such com miaaion hereafter Mr. Bteinway thought wm problematical. He would at least, however, give to any commission woraing on tnose unss nis seaious ana in teres tea support, NEW DYNAMITE OWNS. 01 WORK PROGRESSING ON THK WKAP0KS FOB FORTS WARREK AND 8CHCTLIR.

It wm stated yesterday by President Behuyler that the run company to prepared to begin the manufacture of guns of 20-lnoh calibre capable ot throwing a ton of dynamite, or Its equivalent, a distaaoe of one mile, and with the same degree of accuracy attained with the smaller pro-toetilee. Thle is deemed a great advance. It was thought at one time that the limit of weight wm one hundred pounds and the limit' ef range one mile. Projectiles (sub-cailbre) have been thrown one and a half miles. The gnu company hM decided to abandon the tubular wound shells, and steel or composition shells wfll bere-afterbe used.

The object aimed at Is lightness ia the shell itself. The lMnch shell weighs nearly Ave hundred pounds. When filled with d0 pounds of dynamite and explosive gelatine the aggregate weight Is nearly one thousand pounaa. MATT J3MAXTTAXZX XXQVXTS. la the will of Isaae H.

The new United States ernlaar Canconl will leave the docks of Roach A at Chester, to-morrow and proceed directly to the Morgan Iron Works. New-York. The vessel is now en gaged in coaling and getting provisions aboard. Bhe will be ready for trial next Tuesday or Wednesday probably. It hM been decided to use Haxleton old mine ooal of egg sire.

This Haxleton coal Is used on the fast-express loco motives of the Pennsylvania Railroad and needs iiius or no Slicing. On the cruiser forktown the furnaces are sun- plied with slicing doors. This is all very well so long as the Yorktown's forced draught is supplied iu ui-uiui ureruom system, me conooru. ii. uiut in rcmem-oerea, receives her forced uraugut unaertne grate bars, and is the first set of the new nsvy to be so fitted.

The furnace uoora must do sept eiosea much possible. ior every time they are opened a neatly-arranged device shuts off tbe draft In each oorre-1 8 ponding furnace. for this device the opening of a door would cause the blast to fly Into the fire room. The result would be the ume as was that on the British cruiser Barracouta. which, when recently undergoing a speed trial, burst several boiler tubes.

The steam found lu way into a furnace which had Juat been opened, and in an Instant flame and steam shot into the aces of the firemen. Fifteen men were injured, several dying from the effects of their Injuries. The Mhpit system of supplying forced draught la the popular one of the day. The 11 re room temperature is greatly lowered by It. On tbe Mt White etar Liner Majestic tbe nreroom temperature seldom rises above 95.

On tbe Teutonic of the same line, receiving her forced draught on the closed fire room system, aa nigh 14XH has been recorded. Firemen soon become exhausted under such conditions, and it was not an infrequent' sight on the Teutonio to see three or four stokers at a time stretched out on the lower decks unconscious. Nearly all the new vosmIs of the great steamship lines are being fitted with the Mhpit system of forced draught, The test to whleh: the Concord will be subjected Is an exceedingly severe one. The machinery must develop 3,400 horse power ss the mesn for a four hours' run. The York town, built by tbe Cramps, wm reqnlred to develop but 3,000 borse power.

On her trtal ahe exceeded 3.40O horse power. This show ing caused the Nsvy Department to make the requirements more severe In the case of the Concord and Bennington, sister ships of the Yorktown, In order thst there should be no unfairness attending this decision a higher Contract price wm allowed the C. F. Palmer, Company, builders of the two new ships. i Encouraging reports are received from Chester concerning tbe working of the Concord's machinery.

Not a flaw is rs ported. It Is svident to experts tbst the success of the new cruiser rests wholly In the hands ot the stokers. If the men can stand the four hoars' strain without breaking down, and can keep the steam-gauge indicator steady, uy st 155 or 100 pounds pressure, the result is a foregone conclusion.

Mr. Kaata Nelson, the Government pilot ot tbe United btates revenue cutter Bibb, stationed on Lake Ontario, declares that Just bow It Is hardly possible for a Msel drawing over eight fMt eight inches of water to Pass throorh the ft.lt eanala.

Mr. Nelson Is one of th maat utiuHuiuiI niLnta on the Bt Lawrence aad en the great lakes, and through bis skill the officers of the Bibb are able to take their vessel throuxh seme of Ue most intricate ot unmarked paaaages la northern Waters. I 1 Inasmuch tha Chicago people want only veaecle of Ue new nary, their selection Is narrowed downtoUe PetreL gunboat, aad Ue tor-Pfd" boa Ceding. It Is a qnesttoa whether the Petrel could be gotten rough. The little gunbont draws 11 feet 8 inches of water, or 2 feet and 8 Inches more than there la draught for under most favorable elreumstanoes.

ButUe Petrel is weighted down by much Uat is movable. Her four six-Inch guns eonld be hoisted out and towed astern on a lighter; Ue water eould be pumped out ef her boilers, and Ue coal bunkers emptied. Then, she eould be shipped well-nigh to a gantlln and all her bo.u Urn- Her anchors and cables, projectiles, and many of her stoves could be placed on lighters, and it Is possible Us vessel would lighten up sufficiently. This, however. Is a point tbe naval construction corps could readily decide by calculation.

Many vessels, when lightened sink by Ue stem, so Ust Uelr draught aft la greater in th end than formerly. It would seem possible to keep Ue Petrel down by the head by means ot cables should she show a disposition to so act whea entering the locks. The Vesuvius draws some tea feet ef water. Her lengU over all of 252 feet and 4 tnehee prevents her entering Farran's Point Locks. The length of th Petrel 1 175 feet, bar beam The Dolphin, which Is next In six to th Petrel, hM too much length and too mnch draught for the smaller locks.

1 All Us remaining vessels of Ue new navy ar too Urge to admit of mention. Unless Ue Petrel can be worked through the St. Lawrence, there ia not at present a ship in Ue new navy Uat eaa be Mat to Chicago. In speaking of Ue St Lawrence Canals Mr. Nelson further states that at certain stares of wind there la not te be found over five feet of water on some or tne lock alii while agala.

wlU Ue wind from a favorable direction, Ue depth ie Increased muoh a foot. During mo iaoi wssss, sua at present, tne water in um Bt, Lawrence evstein Is very low. snd many vss. Mis drawing but 8 feet 6 inches of water hsvs naa auncuity in forcing a passage. It must be remembered Uat Ue bed of Ue locks is ta most Instances of etone.
