have his official relations embittered without
onv fault of his own The publication OF Mr..
! scbuvIer's report about Russia, which mas
broucht him into trouble, scarcely seems TO
have been necessary. The bad feeling which
orr State Department has frequently caused
in this way ought to suggest some means 10
prevent such occurrences.
We present to-day another installment OF
the official reports from the transit OF venus
| observers. The work at Toxic, Japan, does
not strictly belong to the programme OF
the Transit Commission, and the party there
was not equipped, apparently, with tho
means for obtaining photographs. Chatham
Island the most easterly Of our stations was
also the most unfortunate. The results Cd
tanned at Campbell Town, Tasmania, are
probably the most valuable OF the three sets
of observations here given.
Some idea of the sacrifice demanded of the
| Republicans in France on the formation OF
| the late Ministry can be derived from our
| Paris letter. Although at the time this was
written the negotiations seemed TO nave ut-
terly failed, the Cabinet eventually formeu
was a result of the same influences whlch
were then working to this end. The fact
that it was determined to give to the majority
| of those who passed the constitutional laws
only two or three of the offices of secondary
importance is a curious instance of proposed
government by minority.
The proposed establishment Of an abattoir
on tho North River, at Fifty -eighth-st,
appears to meet with the approval OF the
Board of Health. Though the representatives
of the Roosevelt Hospital think that the pro-
posed arrangements may not remove all the
unpleasant Accomplishments of a large slaugh-
tering and rendering house, the previous
| action of Prof. Chandler in such cases is good
ground for the belief that the matter has
| been thoroughly considered in all its aspects.
After the fierce war of the Board against the
rendering business, VIC cannot think that any
such establishment would be permitted near
an inhabited part of the city, unless all the
Objectionable features had been removed
The discussion in the Senate at Albany
Yesterday afforded ample evidence that the
vehement demand of the supporters of the
Canal Ring for an investigating committee
will be granted in due time. 1t is pretty
clear that before the adjournment there will
be more than enough investigation to satisfy
those whose calls for it are so noisy.
1t was thought best, however, to postpone
personal matters until after the consideration
of the Governors messages anu the reasons
for giving the latter precedence were senstby
presented by Senators LOwery and Jacobs
In the mean time step in the right direction
was taken in the adoption, without dissent,
of a resolution instructing the State Engineer
| and Surveyor to examine and report upon the
charge made by the Governor that the work
upon the lockwalls of the canals has been
done " in an unfaithful way"
| Miss Bessie Turner is proving a remarkable
witness. The efforts of the acutest cross
examiner in the whole array of the plaintiffs
counsel have been utterly Ineffective i'll the
attempt to break her down. The extraordinary
testimony which she gave concerning Mr..
| Tilton and his household remains substantially
unaffected. Its effect, as well as that of
the larger part of the important evidence thus
| far adduced for the defense, Is to tend towards
the destruction of Mr.. Tilton's credibility as
that the bone which he alleges to have been
destroyed by Mr.. Beechers wiles was an
ideal home. 1t is also obviously intended
by the defense to make moro
probable the explanations concerning Mr.
Beecher's interference in the domestic troubles
of the Tiltons, and his subsequent Iemorse at
the consequences of this interference.
By allowing every Independent Senator to
have his own mental reservation, and to place
his own construction upon the words OF tho
resolution, 1.-THE Senate has at. last been in
duced to express sort of approval OF the
Louisiana policy of the Administration. 1t Is
| far from the kind of Endorsement demanded
| by the Presidents spokesman, but it was the
| best they could get. When the Senate met,
| three weeks ago, Mr.. Morton asked the adOp-
ton of a resolution declaring the Kellogg
| Government the lawful Government of LOuisi-
| ana, and that every assistance necessary to
sustain It's authority should be given by the
| United States. The opposition to MIR. Pinch
backs admission blasted all hope of the favor
able consideration of this proposition. Then
came Mr.. Frelinghuysen with much milder
resolution, approving in "a few words as pos
| sible the Presidents course in protecting
Louisiana from domestic violence. and declar-
ing that he ought to continue to recognize
| the Kellogg Government, but expressing no
opinion as to its legality. Even this went too
| far to receive united Republican vote; but
thrown on the caucus anvil and there ham
| mered and twisted it came out in the form of
the resolution adopted yesterday, which mere
| ly declares that the action of the President in
