How Not 20 Do 1t.

4 Senate committee is in session at the st.
Nicholas Hotel. 1t is charged with the
business Of ascertaining whether an impor-
tant State officer, the Superintendent OF the
Banking Department, has faithfully and
efficiently performed his duties, or whether,
through neglect, incapacity OF corrupt prac-
tees, he has failed to enforce and comply
with the laws. The case of the Third Ave-
nue. Savings Bank was under investigation
Yesterday. The President and Secretary of
that institution made Il sworn statement to
the Bank Superintendent in January. 1875.
as required by law, which showed a clear
surplus oil between seven and eight thousand
dollars About six weeks thereafter an Off
cial examination of the bank proved it to be
actually two hundred and sixty thousand
dollars deficient, without taking into con-
sideration the false estimate OF the value OF
real estate, which would have added nearly
halt million more TO the deficiency.
The bank was allowed 10 DO business not
withstanding until September 20, 1875. On
Soptem Der IS the trustees of the bank de-
clared themselves in favor of closing its
doors. ne Ireslucnt ana secretary went
forthwith TO Albany, and on the next day,
September 20, an order to show cause why
the bank should not be closed was granted
by tho Supreme Court the defendants adj
mitted the bankruptcy and the Secretary OF
the bank who had sworn to the fraudulent
January statement was with the con-
sent of the Bank Superintendent, ap-
pointcd receiver. The creditors of the bank
| knew nothing Of these proceedings until the

receiver was in possession.
These facts are OF record. Yet the coun-

The Gladstone nesolu,ions-war News.

The Gladstone Resol utions-War News.
Mr.. Gladstones resolutions were last
night rejected in the House of Commons by
vote OF 354 to 223, and an amendment
was adopted declaring that the House ode
clines to entertain any resolution which
may embarrass the government in its main
tenance Of peace and the protection OF Brit
ish interests" AS between the opposition
and the government, therefore, this is
drawn battle, and one from which the gov
eminent is doubtless well satisfied to get
away with 50 little injury. It is good
thing for the Ministry to know that there
are 223 votes as a nucleus Of opposition to
any pro-Turkish policy, and that this
number is only not much larger because
Of the patriotic hesitancy Of many men
not in sympathy with the government to
cast q vote that might even constructively
embarrass the defence of the real interests
Of the country-a hesitation increased by the
practical surrender OF its doubtful policy
which the government made in the speech
of Mr.. Cross Mr.. Gladstone's resolu-
tions have for tho time prevented English
participation in the war. In the war news
the most startling story is chronicle of q
Dohy Telegraph correspondent. There are
some discrepancies worthy OF notice in the
chronicle of that tremendous battle near
Batoum, to which this correspondent was an
eye witness. 1t appears that the Russian
infantry was literally 'mowcd down
in swaths" by tho Turkish fire.
Our readers may remember that
this always happens to the infantry
and sometimes to the cavalry. In fact,
to be moved down in swaths by the en-
emy's fire is so common an occurrence in
every well regulated army that any veteran
regiment would be ashamed not to have had
this experience, more particularly as it COM
monty does the regiment no harm. On this
occasion the Russian lines were subjected
to this process by the fire Of Turkish artil-
lery and Turkish infantry in entrench-
ments--as the chronicle hath it, And, fur
thermore, the wretched Russians were sorely
yexed by an attack on their flank of the
bashi-bazouks, SO terrible to women and
children. Notwithstanding all this the bat
tie lasted eight hours and the Russians only
withdrew at midnight. This was doubtless
Russian impertinence. To remain there oil
that time was done, we suppose, simply to
make believe that that awful fire was O mat
ter Of no consequence, and that being
moved down in swaths was q fate to which
they were indifferent.

penses of the Turks as we'll rs her own,
whereas Denmark was able to support oil
the troops she could put into the field. 1t
is not easy to see III what respect the reasons
privately given by Palmerston for abandon
ing Denmark after leading her into war are
not equally good reasons for refusing to help
Turkey now. 1t would be madness for her
to expose her commerce to destruction by
going into this war without an ally among
the great military. Powers; but she
will not have an ally until some Of
the great Powers think their inter-
ests more seriously imperilled. by
Russia than any Of them do as yet. InAu-
ence with them she has had none since she
betrayed her weakness to contempt by de-
sorting Denmark after encouraging her to
resist. The Continental cabinets feel that
the bullying diplomacy Of England in for
mer times was a sham exhibition of strength,
no more to be regarded now than the scare
crow in corn field after the crows have dis
covered that it is not man with musket,
but straw-stuffed suit Of old clothes i'm
paled upon a stake.

1t has come. In spite Of demonstrations
that Americans, particularly in the North,
could not be wrought up to the pitch Of
devoting q whole day to fun, there is every
probability that Rex will display himself
to-day with Il representative following Of
citizens, and that most men and women who
do not take place in the procession will
do their best to SEQ the retinue of His
Majesty. How much fun there will really
be we will take great pains to tell our
readers on the morrow. but until the day is
done every one may enjoy the pleasures Of
anticipation, and these are not to be de-
spised, especially in hard times. 1t is not
every day that Americans can look at a
king and, though the title OF Rex may exist
for day only, the happy mortal who
bears it will be the observed of
all observers and the leading puzzle
of the day. If the pageant is such as
will make New Workers anxious for another
it will mark the beginning of great refor-
nation in metropolitan habits. The custom
of laboring six days of every week and fifty
two weeks of every year is one which is doing
the American mind and body more harm
than good, and whatever can break this rou-
tine is to be greeted as public benefit. So
fortune attend Rex may he be greater and
funnier than even imagination has painted
him, and make every one anxious to see him
nuain.

Service.

We publish this morning translation Of
an article from the Reruc Scicat,fque on the
meteorological Warnings of the New YORK
Herald" The writer thereof proceeds to
discuss the question OF ocean mcteorology i'll
o very intelligent and interesting manner,
and suggests to his European scientific read
ers pan by which the HERsLD weather SER
vice can be rendered of immense value to
the great interests of commerce and agri-
culture. In France where scientific in
vestigation is conducted with surprising
skill and enthusiasm, some of the grandcst
results of modern research have been at-
tanned. We IRE not surprised, therefore,
that the success of the HERALD weather SER
dangerous tempests should be received there
with generous appreciation of its value and
of the spirit OF journalistic enterprise that
has given it existence. Although previous
attempts at securing storm warnings tor the
European coasts have failed chiefly through
misconception of the conditions and
organization necessary to success the
HERALD las now set all doubts Mt
rest as to the feasibility of tracing storms
across the Atlantic. We hope, therefore,
that when regular intercontinental
meteorological system is organized no
further discouraging failure will attend its
operation. Indeed, there is no just reason
why such should occur In Q single instance.

Rules of Base Ball for 1917.

Our American game of baseball is rev.
o%lutionized again, the national league
having resumed the lively for the dead
ball. This is to be made by an authorized
frm-a "sott,job" for somebody--and to
come in a sealed box, to be broken by
the umpire on the field. Other import
ant changes in the rules are: The home
club IN all cases goes first to the bat. A
player not going to the bat within a
minute after being called by the umpire
is declared out, as also when he runs to
the first base inside the foul line. When
a runner is struck by a hit ball he is out.
The object Of this last would seem to be
to allow every advantage to the "out,n
and it is further decreed that the runner
