The Ferry Disaster Investigation.

The Inspectors Investigation yesterday
adduced several additional facts regarding the
explosion of the Westfield. The maker Of
the boiler testified that 1t was more than
twelve years old and worn out. Other
witnesses testified that the steam gauge,
standing for long time at one
figure, would not be likely to mark
any higher pressure. The chief super
intendent of the Williamsburg Ferry Company
testified that some of the steam gauges
on his line last year, tested and GER
tilted to by United States inspectors,
were found to be nine pounds out Of the
way. The general summing up from the evil
dence so far indicates that the generation Of
too much steam in boiler almost completely
worn out and faulty steam gauge were the
combinations that produced the disaster on the
Westtield. The imperfect inspection by Mr..
Matthew'S the ignorance Of all the theories Of
engineering on the part of the engineer, and
the lack of close and efficient superintendent
on the part of the company, ara furthermore
chargeable with the presence of the direct
causes of the explosion.
At the time at which the explosion occurred
the tide was setting up heavily. II has been
the custom among the ferryboat engineers to
get on a good head of steam before leaving
the slip when they have to 60 against the tide.
For this purpose they close the furnace doors,
open all the draughts, and for probably ten
minutes time previous to starting they make
steam with as much rapidity as possible.
This may have been the case on the Westfield.
1t has, indeed, been partially admitted by the
engineer. In this rapid generation of steam,
and the refusal of the steam gauge to mark the
higher pressure, and of the defective safety
valve to work, lies, doubtless the plain solu-
ton of the whole affair. Let some of the in
spectors question the engineer to-day upon
these points.
The Coroner's jury will sit on Wednesday.
Their deliberations will doubtless result in the
disclosure of the same facts and theories as
have been disclosed by the Inspectors inves-
tigatiOn now going on. After their investiga-
ton is ended it becomes the duty Of the Grand
Jury to consider whether the inspector, the
engineer and the company are all to go clear
of punishment for their participation In the
consummatiOn of this horror.

credit and the interests Of its people, In the
name of war upon its rulers.
Let II not be forgotten that to imperi the
finances Of New York is to imperil the finances
of the whole country Mr.. Boutwell, has done
well, though perhaps not well enough. But
should the credit of the city be destroyed he
can do nothing. The well being Of the whole
country depends upon the well being of New
York. The Old World would look with hor-
ror upon our dishOnor, and the money mar
kets of the world would be closed against the
American people. The predictions of the fire.
eaters before the war might at last come to
be true, and the grass be seen to grow in
the streets of this great city. Let justice be
done but let the law take its course. Give
us light--give us the truth in regard to the
alleged stupendous city corruptons; but let
us have the facts, and let the remedy be sp-
piled in the legal and constitutional way. For
the high crimes and misdemeanors charged
upon our city authorities the course of justice
is plainly defined, and the ways and means to
enforce justice are at hand. First, however,
let the alleged crimes be established, and then
the punishment and the remedy can be applied
without injury to great city aud its teeming
population.

ANOTHER SPANISH AMNESTY The JoHrhai
Official of Spain contains the authority for
another general amnesty for all political
offences against the Spanish government
This, as we take it, means general pardon
more especially for such of the Cuban insur-
gents az are willing to accept the cIemency of
the authorities. But in reality it has no
significance whatever Spanish pardons are
meaningless, and are as little to be trusted as
Spanish faith and honor. No such device can
pacify Cuba neither can it give contentIncnt
70 Spain. What the latter needs is good
aud honest government, and the colonies want
the abolition of slavery and freedom from the
cIac!ions Of Spanish officials and an abate-
ment OF Spanish hatred No Spanish amnesty
includes these, and all are. consequently,
worthless

The Crown Warrant and the Right Of
Purchase ia the British Army.

Nothing in recent years has 80 nearly
resembled coup d'ttat as the action of Mr..
Gladstone in the matter Of the abolition of
the purchase of commissions in the British
army. twas not a coup dftot in the proper
sense Of the term but some of the English
papers have found it convenient to use the
expression. 1t is now quite clear that Mr..
Gladstone, by dexterous use of antiquarian
knowledge, tripped up his opponents and sur
prised many of his friends. The language of
Sir George Grey puts the whole case in
nutshell. "Tbe whole system of purchase, 4"
he says, 'rests not upon acts of Parliament,
with one exception. but on royal warrants and
regulations, which have been in force for
series of years, and which, by the royal pre-
rogative and without the Intervention of Par
lament have been altered from time to time
and varied in many particulars during the one
hundred and fifty years" The whole story.
az we understand it, is that the Queen had
the right to do what she has done. and that
the Prime Minister persuaded her to do II.
1t remains to be seen whether the use of The
royal prerogative in this instance has not been
a democratic gain.

NJ. THEIRS vigorously opposed in the Ma
tional Assembly yesterday the proposed
scheme that the government should assume
the losses OF the provinces which had been
invaded by the Germans. ''The amount of
the claims, said NJ. Theirs, could not be les.
than one milliard, which the treasury is unable
to pay" The proposition was supported by the
majority. 1t seems that NJ THEIRS good
sense is superior to the collective wisdom of
the whole National Assembly The invaded
provinces are very unpatriotic TO ask for CON-
pensation from an exhausted treasury. and
the Deputies equally foolish and iuconsiderate
in supporting their claims.

FRENCH REPUBLIC. 1t would seem that the
present French Assembly is determined TO
make an end of the anomalous government of
which NJ Theirs is the head. NJ Theirs is TO
be named President of the republic and his
additional years. This is the desire Of the
Left Centre, and, we believe, of the majority in
the Assembly, but the matter is not yet
settled. The presumption is that France is
once more to be named a republic with royal
princes in her service. It remains to be seen
whether the republic shall, like its predeces-
sors, grow into an empire or kingdom.

high character OF this body and its great COM
could not fail to give satisfaction to the peo-
pie. We hope the proposition will be ac-
cepted and the examination be made so
thoroughly that it will leave no cause for
further complaint. The Chamber Of Com
merce can best deal with question where the
credit of the city is SO vitality concerned, and
we are confident it will undertake the task,
arduous as il must prove.
