WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. -The State Department this morning received a cabin-gram from Frederice Seernl, Vice-Consul at Genoa, announcing the death there of Hubbard T. Smith, acting Vice-Consul at Cairo, Egypt, of a complication of Bright' disease and heart trouble. Mr.

Smith bad. been ill for several months. He was a native of Indiana nnd had been in the Government service since 1876, when he became a clerk in the War Department. Later he served aa private secretary to the Secretary of State, and afterwards as Deputy Consul-General at Paria and Constantinople, and as Vice-Consul at Iiiogo and Osaka, Japan, and at Canton, China. Aftpr serving aa an attache of the Peace Cgmmissioners at Pekin, in 1900, he was assigned to Cairo, Egypt.

He acquired some note as a writer of songs, among which were Listen to My Tale of Woe1 and "Swinging in the Grapevine Swing. Route of Connecting Road" Which Promises to Revolutionize. Traffic Between the Eastern States and the West Vessel Sailed from New York on Saturday for Southern Winter Trip Owned by the Quebec Steamship Company. side that amount. By the issuing of ad dtiiniiiil stock recently the Pennsylvania ni-quiiod 4o.00o,noo, and extensive im-protenients, in addition to the bridge and the new Jine.cui Long are nq-d'liilitedly being planned.

The bridge structure will commence at Port Morn, at tlie southernmost extremity of the Bronx section, and will cross the Bronx Kills to Randall's Island, thence over Little Hell Gate. to Ward's Island, and orer Hell Gate to Astoria, L. I. Til entire structure will be more than a mile and a half in length and will require pounds of stool, costing $3,250,060. 'Jhe span across Hell Gale will be 840 feet and the bridge will he 135 feet above high tide.

How Connections Will Be Made, At Port Morns the double tracks crossing the bridge will connect direct with the New York. New Haven and Hartford tracks. At Astoria a liue will have to ho built to connect with the present system of the Long Island Railroad, in whatever direction this spur is constructed connection with the Island City terminal and the tunnel to Manhattan and New Jersey will be immediate. For freight ferriage tho question of tbe new- connection is one of considerable importance. If a short lins is built to the old main line, which is tho most northerly, connecting probably Woodside.

trains will have to run out to Jamaica to get to 'South Brooklyn. It is generally understood that the new line will erosa the northern liue, passing nest of Mount Olivet Cemetery and meeting the present main line at Fresh Pond Junction or thereabout. In that ease the connecting railroad scheme can be put into use hy running trains out only ts far as Manhattan Crossing. In either case freight trains coming down from New England will get on the Long Island tracks by way svf the new bridges and will be run around Brooklyn and onto the Bay Ridge division of the Manhattan Beach line, owned hy the Long Island Railroad. In that way they will be taken to the foot of Sixty-first street, whore a.

freight terminal now exicts, and the trains will be ferried across to the terminal, now being rapidly pushed to completion directly across the at N. J. By this means freight from New England can be shipped by a short and direct route to practically ail parts of tbe country, and the Long Islaud abd Pennsyivinia people have no doubt that a succession of freight trains will be constantly rnmhling around the outskirts of Brooklyn. To residents nf Vanderveer Park aud rarkrilie, through which the connecting line runs, the news may not be of the pleasant character, but to the business interests nf Brooklyn generally the announcement is a valuable one. Bermuda, I British steamship Madiaua, the Quebec Steamship Company, from New York, with nearly one hundred American tourists, ran full tilt on the reefs two miles northeast of North Rock, near, this harbor, during the night.

The shock was a sever, one, and when the frightened passengers came tumbling up from below, they found the ship lying broadsido and fast on the rocks. Signals were made and tugs hastened from here to render aid to passengers and vessel. A heavy sea is running, which is breaking over the ship and listiug her badly. Tbs plight of the passengers is a dangerous one, but it is expected that all will he saved. The tugs cannot go near the stranded steamer because of tbe bigii sea and the work of rescue is going on by means of lifeboats.

The Madiana is pounding heavily on the rooks and will prove a totarioss. Mews of tlie Wreck Reaches New York. A. E. Outerbridge the local agetfts of the Quebec Steamship Company, have received cable advices from Hamilton, confirming reports jf the wreck of the Mad-inna.

According to their advices the ship is a total loss, bnt no mention is made of any loss of life. Outerbridge Co. have just received a dispatch from their Hamilton agent, James. James Conyern, in which he say's that the steamer's passengers are now being taken off in tenders and from them transferred to tug. Mr.

Conyern says that from the shore, where he is stationed, he can see tbe work of rescue going on. The Madiana wag built in Glasgow in 1876, and is of 1,983 tons net burden. She is 344 feet 8 inches long, has 39 feet 4 inches beam, and is 29 feet deep. Tbe steamer is owned by the Quebec Steamship Company, and hails from London. Brooklynites on Board the Steamer.

The sddress of Richard Hannon could not be ascertained. The Brooklynites left, with the rest of the party on the steamer, last Saturday, for a thirty-day excursion to the West Indies. The only intelligence received by their relatives and friends here was through the newspaper bulletins. These bulletins were assurances that, although the vessel was wrecked, the party was safe. No anxiety wag expressed at the home of Mr.

GRAND STREET EXTENSION. Local Boards May Indorse the Improvement if City Bears the Expense by General Assessment. There ill be an executive session at Borough Hall. 1o-nnrrow. at 11 a.

of the Local Improvement Boards, which hsve under consideration the plan to connect Grand street with tbe new bridge plaza. The Aldermen are beirfg besieged by people who both favor and protest against thepropused improvement, but one Alderman said to-day thnt those in favor of the project outnumbered tbe opponents ten to one. The decision of the matter will probably rest on tbe determination of the question of rhether til" cost of the improvement shall he paid by a local or general assessment. This question will be settled finally hy the Board of Estimate. The Aldermen in the district affected are opposed to saddlingthe cost on their constituents.

If the improvement was made a city charge, there is little doubt that it would be ordered. It is contended that this approach to tho bridge should be paid for by a general assessment. particularly as it is claimed that it would be orf great advantage to the people of the Borough of Queens. At the meeting to-morrow, a resolution, authorizing the improvement, if the ex-IM'nse he borne by tlie whole city, will probably be adopted. SUNDAY LECTURES They Are to Be ia Yiddish, Italian and English.

iSIfX'lAL TO TUB ITI7.HN ALBANY, N. I'Vh. In. -From what was said this morning by Mr. Rogers, tbe Republican leader in the Assembly, it looks as if the Republicans expect to show that theeost of tlie on barge eanul will be greut that it will la- unwise to take any action in the shape of legislation at this session.

The argument was on the adoption' of the resolution of Fold hv Mi. Rogers, asking the Statk Engineer for an estimate on the cost of the proposed ennui at present prices of labor and material and in view of tbe number and kind of bridges required. The burden of Mr. Rogers' nrgument was that the resolution would not hurt the canal proposition, unless the truth will hurt. He harped on the phrase, It will not help or hurt unless the bringing out of the truth will hurt or help.

Assemblyman John MeKeown took up the question in a fearless fashion by saying: This resolution, I Isdicve. was in troduced for the purpose of killing the canal proposition. Its first motive was for delay, so as to put the question off to the end of the session, and then with log rolling kill off the bill for this year. There is no reason why the canal bill should not be reported this week if this resolution wag not offered. Before tlie date for a report was fixed in this resolution it wss meant for delay, and delay oloue.

I cannot afford to vote agaiilst this resolution. I am for the canals, but I do not hesitate to say thHt, while I cannot vote against this resolution, I bclieve4t was intended to kill the canal bill. The resolution as originally present oil did not provide a datp for securing the information desired. It was Mr. Mc-Keonn wbo forced the introducer of tlie resolution to accept the date of March 2 for a report.

Assemblyman Bostwick got a shot nt some of his Republican associates when lie referred to tlie ho are supporting tile counties that are opposing the canals. It was not relished by Mr. Rogers. Mr. Hinson, of Buffalo, said Iip would vote for the resolution, hut he felt convinced that it was intended by Hi people behind it as the first nail iu the eolfin of canal legislation.

Mr. Bostwiek. who introduced tlie ctyial bill, and who did not w-ish to consider the resolution introduced by his leader as a trick. admitted that he knew nothing of the resolution until it was offered ou the floor of the Assembly. The Republican leader tried to offset tbe discussion by referring to the Democratic lender le-ing opposed to canals.

Mr. Iaimer got back at him in a manly fashion, by saying it was always legitimate to suspect those who tried to shield them-helves behind the action or desires of someone else. He said he hoped that there was independence enough in tbe Assembly to permit men to follow the convictions of which they were possessed in questions such as this. It was not a proposition in which man should bow in submission, under the hip-lash. It was a measure that should not be controlled by the whiplash.

Assemblyman Wainwright arose to ask: Mr. jSqioakor. ia the gentleman speaking for or against the resolution This waa Mr. Palmer's reply: Mr. Speaker, I ran only furnish the voice and not the understanding for those who are listening to me.

It ia unneeesary to sty that Mr. Wain-wright took himself within the protection of silent self-communion. The resolution was finally passed by a unanimous vote. Tenement Honse Bill To Have Hear Ing February 17. (SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN ALBANY, Feb.

There ia to be a hearing on Senator Wagner's tenement house bill on Tuesday next. The La-t New York loop bill, offered by the same Senator, comes up for hearing i Msrrh 25. There is some talk in Brooklyn about having a personal tax bill introduced to compel people who live outside tbe eouuty to pay taxes on personal property iu the county in which their property is located. Senator Wagner ha- already introduced such a bill, and it provides: "But if such person, at the time of such assessment is made, resides within the State all smb personal property shall be taxed in the tax district In which it is located. The Assembly and Senate bills providing for municipal ownership come up for a joint oaring on March 3.

Thfi bridge will thp New- York, New Haven and Hartford tracks witli those nf thn Long Island Railrond, pniy a short addition to the present plant of the Long Island Company being necessary for the purpose. The completion of the Pennsylvania tunnel under the North and East rivers and under Manhattan borough will then give direct connection for passenger and freight trains from New England by way of the Long Island tracks and the tunnel to the great Pennsylvania system. The greatest advantage of the bridge, howevpr, that of freight connections, will come at onee with the completion of the structure and the spur from the present tracks to Astolfia. When these two tasks have been accomplished by the engineers and contractors, freight trains will be run from the New England States onto Long Island and around Brooklyn to the station at the foot of Sixty-fifth street, Bay Ridge, and thence ferried across the harbor to tlie new Pennsylvania freight terminal at Greenville, N.

It is now to be an accomplished fact nnd will bring an immense amount of freight hauling and the consequent increase of business to Brooklyn.

Word of the new bridge was sent out from Pittsburg. where the contracts for the structural steel hare already been made ith the I'nited States Steel Corporation. The new bridge was determined upon by the officers of the company some time ago, and the plans and specifications were drawn np and passed upon a few days ago. The secret was kept as long as pnssihle, lmt when it leaked out no hesitation was shown about confirming the story. The arrangement wero at) made at the Philadelphia office of the company, and those at tbe Manhattan office.

No. 128 Broadway, were unable to throw much light on the snhject this morning. An official high In the councils of the company, however, stated that the cost of the bridge, 16.600.606. mentioned in the dispatches from Pittsburg, was too high. The company, be said, was plnuning to spend on the bridge a.sum considerably In IT IS NO ADMITTED THAT SENATORS GOT MESSAGES.

Not ef the Tenor of Those First Pnh-lished Efforts Made to Smooth Oxer Trouble. WASHINGTON. Feb. the truth is becoming known about the alleged attempt of the Standard Oil Company to prevent tbe enaction of certain features of the proposed anti-trust legislation. The so far as they have come to light, are thnt the Standard Oil Company objected to that part of the amendment to the Department of Commerce bill, which would compel them to make public details of their foreign trade.

They believed that such publication would give their Russian rivals an undue advantage. Me-ages were sent to nine influerii.il Senator. These message were, however, not the imperative demands for the defeat of the proposed legislation that they have been represented to be. Instead, they were merely a statement of the objection and a request to be heard in behalf of a modification of the original section. Similar messages for and against all kinds of legislation are received every dav by Senators, and are considered perfei tly legitimate ex-pj-esrions of opinion.

The recipients of the messages from the Standard Oil Company, it is reported today. were Senators Depew, Allison, Hale, Kean, Spooner, Platt Lodge, Elkina and Nelson. WEATHER WASHINGTON. J'eb. 16.

Hidden beneath the technical charge of grand larceny, Magistrate Naumer, in the Myrtle Avenue Police Court, this morning, unearthed a romance that started in a marriage brokers office iu Paterson, N. and wound up in the substitution of a woman of 43 years for the blushing bride-to-bc of 18, just after the betrothul ceremonies. Isaac Cohen, of No.

170 Waters street, Paterson, w'as the complainant, and Samuel Ross, a dry goods dealer, of No. 584 Bruudway, is the defendant. The story, as told in court this morning, was one of the most novel ever recited to a police magistrate, and was as follows: About a year ago Cohen, who is 22 years old, went to Paterson from Halifax, and ptade the acquaintance of one Joseph Ir-dong, of No. 12 Lane street, Paterson. L'r-dong told Cohen that be ought to get married, and showed him a picture of pretty young woman of Brooklyn.

Cqlien liked' the girl's picture so much that he paid 120 for tbe privilege of being introduced to her. He found her so charming that he decided to marry her, and started a correspondence with that end iu view. The young woman suid her name wns Sarah Ross, and under that signature site finally consented to marry Coheu. Nov. 22 of last year was set as the happy day upon which a formal marriage agroe-inenjhould be signed, and on that day Cohen came to Brooklyn.

He bad with him several cheques on the I'nion Bank of Nova Scotia, representing a total amount of 474.15. He arrived nt the Broadway house, and was there shown a paper, iu which tlie aigner promised to marry Sarah Ross. He promptly affixed his name to it before witnesses, one of whom was Samuel Ross, the defendant in to-day'a action. Refore going to meet his fiancee, however, Cohen wanted to go out and cRsh his cheques. Ross objected to 'this, and said be would atieml to the matter.

This suited the man from Paterson, so ho endorsed the cheques und made them payable to Ross. Then he went into an idjniaiug room to greet his fiancee. To his surprise it was not the bnxom and young girl who rushed to his outstretched arms, but instead of thnt a woman 45 years of age came forward to meet him. Oh, Isaac, she said; this is so sudden. 1 Cohen objected, and protested that tbia was not his Sarah.

And then, to his ntter despair, the entire family butted in and congratulated him. Cohen then learned that the young girl ho had first met Was Ella Ross, Sarah's youngest sister. Ry a strange mistake be had imagined her name was Sarah, and so fallen into his predicament. Cohen knew he was legally promised to Sarah, and would rrohably have gone to the altar like a martyV had not tbe unthinking brother neglected to deliver the equivalent of the cheques. After waiting a month and a half and receiving no money be consulted an attorney, and to-day the caee was aired in court.

Magistrate Naumer held Rs in 1.600 hail for examination on Friday, at which time Cohen will try to recover his first love also and also his 474.15. in court this morning Ross made no defense, and kept asking the judge to ait a few day for aa explanation.
