The fact that the fiinutluH lire nut
?utlsiled with thu Tov uilmlnlstnition
In Now York is ii piotty good sign Hint
It Is moving along wisely.
Gns Leakage and Fires.
WHAT I,OOKS like a prom
ising lend to at least one
of the fruitful causes of
the large recent in
crease In Hie losses has been opened
by the authtfr of a paper in Insurance
Engineering for January. This writer,
Dr. James C. Buylos, who is not an
Insurance man, but a mechanical engi
neer, claims that leakage of gas from
city mains is the cause of thousands of
fires which are usually called myster
ious, and he gives enough personal
testimony to prove that there must be
a good deal In his theory.
Dr. Bayles shows, at the outhot, that
there Is much more gas leakage under
the best conditions of piping than the
average man realizes. Having studied
gas distribution in every part of the
TTnited States and Europe, ho gives It
as his belief that In good gas practice
n leakage of 223,000 cubic feet per mile
per annum for mains of six inches dia
meter is normal. Often, tie says, it is
twice that amount; rarely much less.
Not all of this leaking gas can be de
tected by Us smell. "When It has fil
tered through a layer of earth, It
cpases to have an odor, hut loses none
of its explosive, or calorific force. In
his opinion from twelve to twenty per
tent, of all the gas distributed in New
York city Is lost through leakage; and
of tills enormous amount in the aggie
gate much collects in cellars, crevices
in walls, under floors and in other
places, where it lurks until the time
comes for u flame to appear, when,
puff! the place goes up In smoke.
"That the appalling "Windsor Hotel
fire was a typical gas fire was known
to every gas man In New York," says
Dr. Bayles, "but the tortures of the
Inquisition Avould piobably not induce
one of them to admit it. On this sub
ject 1 speak with the confidence of per
gonal knowledge. Scarcely mote than
two months before the lire I had occa
sion to make an especially critical sur
vey of the house, which took me Into
every room, p.assago-way, closet and
pantry, and occupied my own time and
that of a number of assistants for sev
eral days. It was a strictly profes
sional service; Us object is of no inter
est to the reader. .Suffice It to say
that I examined every part of thu
building, from the sub-cellar to the
roof. During this examination, I be
came aware that the house was full
of gas, and had reason to believe that
the walls and floor spaces wore full of
It. I mentioned the fact to the pro
prietor, although It was only Inciden
tally a concern of mine, and perhaps
not even that, Mr, I.eland admitted
that he know it and was rendered anx
ious by It, The trouble had begun
during or shortly after the laying of
the large water main In Fifth avenue,
which had necessarily disturbed the
gas mains, more or less, and had been
increased by the Madison avenue
washout, duo to tho bursting of u
water main. He said he would glvo
the subject attention. T may say
truthfully that I did not ut the tlmo
appreciate the hignincunce of my dis
covery, or I might have made better
use of my knowledge. The phenomena
of the flro which destroyed tho house
would be Inexplicable on any other hy
pothesis thou ithut the building was
saturated wlt'lltilliinimablo gas. Any
one who wlll,;read tho account of that
v historic fire, as published during the
Mays succeeding it in tho files of any
rane unrt unsensatloiuu newspaper,
will have no aUHculty In discovering
that something more Inflammable than
dry woodwork, furniture and carpets
burned first and converted tho build
ing Into a'furnaeo with frightful rapid
ity. It was gas,"
Dr. Bayles has collected the lecords
of more than a hundred fires In New
York city in which there wore mys
terious circumstances, and ho finds
what tHJilsoilnd nro Indisputable ovl
aencesTdftho presence of gas In Jiu
hammnbTcTfiuunUUeH, proving to his
satisfaction that careless or Imperfect
Installation of gas mains, frequent In
terference with mains whon laid, or in
difference to signs of gas leakage In
any place or from any cause, have
much mora than tuts boon generally
juppoB To do with the statistics' of
Ire losyes, as well as with many of
.)us diseases prevalent In cities which
iffect disastrously the mortality calcu
lations pf life Insurance actuaries. His
paper, . therefore, is both thnely and
rateable. We trust that tho line of In
vestigation which it marks out will bo
pursued.
i
Twelve years ago W, W. Bowers was
member of congress from California,
and Theodore Hoasovcit.wns civil ser
vice Commissioner, They got Into a
difference. Bowers called ltoosevelt a
fakir. Tho other day, Bowers was re
commended to the president for reap
pointment as collector of the port of
Han Diego. An opponent reminded Air.
llonsovelt of what Bowers had said.
Ills reply was characteristic: "I shall
reappoint Mr. Bowers. He Is a good
ofllclal. Ills personal opinion of me
twelve years ago has nothing to do
with the case," Largo men are not In
fluenced by small spites.
Theie must be u cable to the Philip
pines. That much is clear. It must also
bo primarily a government cable! In
other words, one over which govern
ment business will, In an emergency,
have m credence over ordinary com
mercial business. It must be n cable
thiil no enemy can over acuulro. It
ought to bo one that no financial cllo.ua
could nmnlpulate. To fulfill these re
quirements will tuko nn out nnd out

A Danger Signal.
OltEAT deal of balderdash has
. been Introduced Into this city
Jl. Ju campaign for the purpose of
getting llopubllcnns to hell)
pull Democratic chestnuts out of the
fire. That worked last fall and gave
tho Democrats contiol of the county
bench. T'uable to originate n new
dodge, our friends, the enemy, have
tiled to play the same trick over ngaln.
They are counting upon Republican
apathy to glvo tlvem what they want.
They are relying upon the belief that
the Republican party in this city and
county has concluded to go out of busi
ness and to let them have the ofllces by
default.
The l etui ns last fall gave them some
encouragement. Their victory then cer
tainly was a gift. Republicans gave it
to them. They gave it without getting
anything in return, not even thanks.
Should they be so foolish as to repeal
the gilt today they would again get
nothing in return, not even thanks. It,
therefore, becomes a pertinent question
for Republicans to consider whether It
is worth their while to go on giving
ofllces and encouragement to Demo
crats when the latter do not even feel
grateful. "What political sense is there
in such a policy? Suppose It Is true
that some Republicans are disaffected
over state affairs. Suppose it is true
that the last legislature behaved badly
and deserved scoring. Is it conducive
to uolltlcdl health to take this out on
Evan Morris? Did he have anything to
do with passing the "ripper"? Is he
responsible for the sins of the late and
uulamented legislature? "Would the elec
tion of Coslello, a Democrat, hang a
red lantern In front of the Republican
paily leaders and scare them into an
amendment Of their criticized ways?
Let us look at today's election in the
light of hor.-e sense. The Republican
nominee is a good, clean, capable man,
thoioughly qualified by long experience
in city matters to gl.ve a first-rate ad
ministration of thu office of city con
troller. He knows every duty of that
office and there isn't a man who knows
him who can say Unit Evan Morris will
not prove absolutely honest. Now, what
If his Democratic opponent be likewise
a competent man; does that olfei'a suf
ficient reason for Republicans to desert
their own and to let the Democrat ad
vance into office thtough their de
fault? Noiibonse! Party success is not
built up in that way. Republican prin
ciples aie not carried forward to tri
umph by throwing away the details of
party .supremacy.
It is time for the Republicans of
Scranlon to awakonjrom the lethargy
into which they have permitted them
selves to fall. Nothing but harm can
come of It. If persisted in it will lead
straight into the Jaws of party death.
No better time exists for the awaken
ing than tills very day. The Democrats
have based their whole campaign on
tlie belief thut the Republicans of
Scranton will not como out to vote to
day. If that belief is disproved, they
are gouo up and there Isn't time for
them to form a new line of battle, Tho
Republican, therefore, who has any re
gard for his party's future can protect
It very effectuully this bright morning
by going early to the polls and voting.
Then, to clinch matters, let him turn In
and pull his neighbors out and see that
they vote. Votes are what count.
They're here. This city Is Republican.
It Is simply a matter of bringing
enough Republicans nut.
During Prince. Henry's isolation at
sea It Is to bo hoped that the Ameri
can people will lentil to draw n correct
line between hospitality and gush,
Roseuery and Home Rule.
LORD ROSEBERY'S imequlvn
'1 planting of his foot on the
proposition of homo rule for
Ireland, whatever may be
thought of it from the standpoint of
American sympathizers with homo rule,
has an obviously Importunt bearing
on the near future of English politics.
It presages u new alignment of the
English people.
The Conservative party was totteijng
to Its fall when Kruger's ultimatum
introduced a war Issue, In the excite
ment of an appeal to arms, party di
vision was forgotten and the Con
servative ndiultiistintion was saved.
Had the first anticipations of a British
walk-oyer been realized In South Af
rica, the momentum of a succcessful
war might have beei counted upon to
continue to tho Conservatives lit power
Indefinitely. They were not. British
pride received the worst set-back. in
generations. Blunder piled on blunder. J
Theto have also been scandals, some
smelling lo heaven In spite of the
fort, patriotically nldcd by many Lib
erals, lo postpone) their consideration lo
ti more appropriate season. But for
tho necessity of sustaining tho govern
ment at homo In order that It might
not be weakened nbroiwl, tho Coimeivn
tive party would ore this have gone
down under the accumulating weight of
complaints and disappointments grow
ing out of this amazing war. As It is,
It Ii hanging by tho eyelids. It will
hang until the Boer N subdued or un
til the spectre of foreign Interference
Is laid Is sight of nil men; but the
moment that the British voter can get
back nt tho ruling agents without lay
ing himself open to the charge of a
lack bf patriotism, then look out!
Theie n,ro but two men In England at
this time who measure up to the dimen
sions of unchallcngable leadership; who
will necessarily occupy the forefront
In the coining battles of political re
organization. Of those Joe Chamber
lain Is thu braver and the nervier; and
In the United States he would run
away from his finer grained opponent.
But England Is by no menus as demo
cratic ns she pretends. Her voters
bawl loudly their applause of demo
cratic sentiments and bow low to the
first good-looking lord that comes
along. They are democrats In the ab
stract but worshippers of caste In the
concrete; and no man In their empire
Is genuinely better liked by them,
whether by milord In the castle or by
Tom, Dick or Francis of the heath,
than the present reappearing colleague
of Gladstone, Archibald Philip Prim
rose, Lord Dalmeny and earl of Rose
bcry. Heretofore, however, the accipn
pllshed earl has lifted no flag for his
own. Always credited with the ability
to do great things, he has kept people
waiting for a sign and a token of per
formance. While Gladstone was alive
Rosebery necessarily suffered by un
fair comparisons. He comes back
Into thu hurlyburly with nobody big
enough on his own side to dispute his
pre-eminence and with the principal
llgure on the other side tarred with all
the unpopularities of a disappointing
and humiliating war; and he very
shrewdly unfurls as Ills first rallying
signal, not opposition to his country In
arms, but no more coquetting with
home lule for Irreconcilable Ireland.
That Is a popular cry In England. For
every vote that it loses it will gain
three. It will .present to dissatisfied
Conservatives, of whom there are not
a few, the opportunity, which they
have been seeking, to withdraw from
under the load of the South African
war without a sense of faltering in im
perial loyalty.
Rosebery's speech Is England's ans
wer to the election of Colonel Lynch.
Unless we misjudge, it spells a new
epoclt in British politics.
The courts have at last vindicated the
man with the slippery nickel. At St.
Louis not long ago a btreet car conduc
tor refused to accept as fare a five cent
piece that had been wotn smooth In
active service. The passenger declined
to substitute other coin, and after
heated argument found himself in the
station house. He bi ought suit against
the street car company and received a
verdict of .$2,000. The court in its de
cision declared that tliere is no sucIk
thing as a nickel at less than full face
value even when the face is somewhat
indistinct. Tills ruling will be of in
terest to those who are suspicious of
tho smooth nickel. It must no longer
be classed with the dimes and quar
tois that have lost weight by the
sweating process Invented In New
York some years ago.
The New Yoik papers almost with
out exception have condemned the re
cent' walking match nt Mndlsou Square
Garden us a "brutal and disgusting
contest," and one journal intimates
that the legislature should pass laws
forbidding such exhibitions. A leal,
lellned, four-ounce glove fight to the
finish is about the only amusement
that the delicate nerves of Jtnnhat
tau pleasure seekers can tolerate.
"While there has been so much tall;
about the North pole expeditions, an
antarctic explorer, Charles E. Uorch
grevluk, nnd a modest party of scien
tists have sailed within eight hundred
miles of the Southern needle without
making any fuss about it. In these
days it is often the activity of the press
agent rather than man's achievements
that brings fame.
In six years the United States has
Imnorlcd S'OO.OOO.UUO worth of cold, the
cash balance of trade. Had we had a
commensurate merchant marine, this
would have been nearer $1,200,000,000,
Unless advance menu cards have been
f mulshed the. elfuslvo Now York cor
respondents will be obliged to guess a
to Prince Henry's diet during the next
five diirs.
