Upward of two hundred thousand baths
we're taken last week in six free baths
stationed on the North and East rivers.
This return does not of course represent
the number Of persons, for many doubtless
bathed more than once; but it may repre-
sent total of one hundred thousand men
and women, boys and girls who availed
themselves oil the opportunity thus put
within their reach to epjo the inexpensive
luxury of wash or swim in the river. The
numbers given actually represent total
for the six baths OF seven thousand bathers
for each day, or daily average at each
place of eleven hundred and fifty persons.
The bath at the foot of Gouverneur street
has the distinction Of being the most used,
and for the good reason that IL is the near
est to several thickly peopled sections and
tenement house districts, while il is the
only bath between the foot Of Fifth street

The effect of rapid transit is already APP
parent in the increased activity in the
building business in the northern part of
the city. The report of the Building De-
partment for the first half of the present
year is as significant as it is gratifying.
Out of seven hundred and seventy new
buildings, for which plans were submitted
to the department at an estimated outlay OF
q little over eight and half million dol
lars, six hundred are located north Of For
tieth street, plainly showing that the en-
terprise they indicate is due to
the travelling facilities afforded by
the rapid transit roads. During the
present year there have been erected in the
Twelfth ward Ito first class dwellings. So
second class, 10 hotels and boarding houses
and II tenements, besides other buildings.
In the Nineteenth ward the number of
first class dwellings is 126, OF second class
Is, of third class ~, and of tenement
houses 1Ol. These two wards show the
largest increase. but the Twenty-second
ward also gives evidence of good progress.
This is certainly fair showing for the in
fancy of rapid transit, and it gives
evidence Of what the growth Of the city
will be when we feel the full influence Of
steam travel through Its entire limits.

Safe Ashore Again.

The passengers and crew OF the stranded
ship State OF Virginia are to congratulated
on reaching land once more, for although
Sable Island is technically terra .frm'a
any one who is accustomed to COM
pairing risks would prefer an open
sea in gale of wind to the
fog-shrouded sandbar that has been the
grave of SO many stout ships. The state
ments of the passengers and crew, as
embodied in special despatch to the
HERALD, seem to show that excellent man
agement and discipline prevailed on board
the ship after she struck, and the surfboat,
by the capsizing OF which the only
loss of life was occasioned, seems to
have been handled very cautiously by
her crew, who belonged on the island and
were accustomed to the surf. The fact that
the ships own boats were not adapted to
landing in the surf will cause unfavorable
comment; for some, at least, of vessel's
boats should be specially adapted to
this purpose, as, except at intervals
com paratively rare, no other landing
can be made by the passengers
of a vessel wrecked near the coast. Reso-
lutions adopted by the passengers testify to
the kindness of the Governor and inhabit-
ants Of the island, while other resolutions
fully exonerate the captain of the State Of
Virginia from any blame, and speak
in most common atory terms of his
conduct during the entire expert
ence. When the nature and location of
the island are considered it must be adj
mtted that the loss of life is slighter than
might reasonably have been expected. the
principal cause for wonder being that more
vessels do not meet their end at the same
place, the land being seldom visible except
for few moments at time.

on the East River and the foot OF Bethune
street on the North Rivera water front
of at least five miles With the new bath
once anchored at the Battery this space
would be lessened, though at what time the
obstructive tactics of the Park Commission
ers will permit that bath TO get into opera
ton it is not easy to say. Perhaps the
baths now in operation are used nearly to
the extent Of their capacity, for it must be
remembered that the people who patronize
them have not got the day on their hands,
SO that the attendance here is not evenly
spread over all the hours of daylight, but
jams particularly those few hours when the
working people are at liberty. If there
were twice as many baths there would be
twice as many swimmers. and it is emf
nently desirable for the health of the city
that every person who will 60 into the

not be rebegun; it is happy sign that we
are returning to reasonable politics at last
that it has again appeared.
On this question, as on the others, the
people may decide now or at any time, as
they may see fit, without involving any
vital interests in danger. because they may
at any future time change their policy. 1t
is question which will come up con-
stantly and in many shapes. 1t came up
during the extra session, when to the
amusement of intelligent listeners South
ern democrats, like Senator Harris of
Tennessee, appeared as the earnest ad-
vocates Of Capitalization. and Northern
republicans, notably Senators Conkling
and Hoar, vigorously and effectively cham
pioned the State rights theory. We do
not wish to alarm timid republicans, but
they ought to know that the most forcible
and effective State rights speeches which
have been made in the last two sessions
have come from the republican side, and
the most earnest opponents of State rights
have been leading Southern democrats.

On Sunday nearly every man is his own
master, and as yesterday was clear and
sunny the people who allowed themselves o
ter Of million. AS usual, Coney Island
received nearly one-half of the excur-
sionists; but Long Branch, Rockaway, the
Hudson and other suburban resorts
saw many strange face and garnered
numerous dollars, while the favorite walks
of Central Park and other public grounds
were crowded almost as thickly as Broad
way is on busy day. No one-not even
the physicians--can compute the good done
and the sickness prevented by this
great though temporary change of
base. The subdivision of labor. which
is the rule of business in large cities,
prevents almost every man from any
change of scene or association during the
week, while woman's duties are still more
monotonous; to such people day of free
DOMAIN hour events boon the value of
which cannot be estimated. With a
city so full of habitual excursion
lists it is to be regretted that some
steamboat owners, railway officials and
hotel managers should be apathetio or
wilfully careless regarding the treatment
which their patrons receive. Complaints
Of overcrowded boats still appear in the
newspapers, and charges of inattention,
rudeness and petty extortion are passed
from mouth to mouth with unpleasant
frequency. If the persons responsible for
these faults do not rectify them the public
will, and the method will entail far greater
expense upon managers Of boats and
places of summer resort than little extra
care would do, for where there is SO much
to choose from the people need not endure
q second time either neglect or imposition.

The Sub-Treasury in this city is being
turned into fertilization. Engineering
skill has been called into requisition to de-
wise plans for rendering the Wall street
building impregnable to assault and capa-
BILE OF inficting serious damage on a hos
tile force. Strong steel bar gratings will
protect the basement and first floor win
dows from attack. Loopholes, shielded by
coverings of highly tempered steel, will
stare from the iron shutters on any threat
ening mob, and enable the sheltered rifle
men to sweep the surrounding streets.
Cannon will trown from the ground floor,
and the roof, with its armored turrets and
Calling guns, will take the appearance of
monitors deck and effectually remove all
fear OF a successful attack from the adioin-
ing buildings.
These precautions have been deemed ex-
pedient in view of the large amount of
treasure kept in the Sub-Trensury vaults,
reaching ordinarily from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred million dollars. We
should not wish to say that the money in
vested in the Wall street fort will be thrown
away; nevertheless, we do not consider that

talists or brighten old ladies into the belief
that communistic outbreak is anticipated
in New York. The elements for such an
enterprise have been freely imported into
this country from Europe OF late years,
but the climate is not favorable
to their growth. Here their vital
ity evaporates in frothy talk through
lack of opposition, and they settle down
into lager beer selling and political hob
nobbing with ambitious lieutenant gov
errors. The United States Treasury's
strongest fertilization is that built up by
the financial policy of the administrations
OF ex-President Grant and President hayes.
Its true steel turrets and Calling guns are
John Sherman's brains. Built upon solid
sound financial basis, the returning pros

Preparing for the sioux.

The activity that prevails among the
United States forces on the frontier indi-
Gates prospect OF speedy hostilities with
the Sioux. The HERALD's special despatch
from Bismarck, d. t., brings information
of forward movement Of artillery, ammu-
milton and troops. Some trouble seems to
have arisen with the Grow Indians, growing
out of their unwillingness to affiliate with
the Yanckton scouts in General Miles
employ, party of one hundred Crows, en-
gagged to join our forces, having refused
to cross the river. The Crows are willing
enough to aid in running down their nat
ural enemies, the Sioux, but they strongly
object to working in common with the
Yanctons. General Miles is said to be in
the neighborhood OF Bear Mountains, with
force not exceeding six hundred men, and
some OF the customary ''old army officers
who, not having won distinction themselves,
except for their long term of service, are
always ready to doubt the success of more
active commanders, predict that he will
be cleaned out" or ''get caught" But
General Miles is an officer as capable in
command as he is brave in the field, and,
as he has already been successful as an
Indian fighter, he will no doubt give good
account Of himself at this time should he
come in contact with Sitting Bulls follow
ers. 1t is, however, wise to guard against
contingencies, and no efforts should be
spared to strengthen General Miles force.

The canal that is most wanted in this
Western hemisphere just now is not canal
across the isthmus between the two oceans
nor across Florida, but a canal in the island
of Cuba, cut SO as to make a free way for
the sea through the harbcr of Havana AS
for the other canals, they are superfuous,
if not absurd. An isthmus canal cannot
pay. Only the more valuable sorts Of
freight could stand the heavy charge of
canal rates. Those sorts of freights from
the East to the West or the West to the
East now move by the Pacific railways and
the lines from San Francisco, and will con-
tinue to move in that way even with a canal
made, while the sorts that cannot bear the
canal charges will still go by sea voy-
ages in sailing vessels. As for the
Florida canal. it is perhaps a little
bubble. But the canal we propose
is one of great importance. Memphis,
New Orleans, Galveston, st. Louis. Mobile
and Charleston could afford to pay for it,
Perhaps our Uncle Samuel would take an
interest in the venture, and may be even
. the Spanish government would give trife
more than its consent. 1t is believed that
if the sea washed regularly through the
harbor of Havana that city could be kept
regularly free from the yellow fever, and
that if it were SO kept free we should never
have that disease in our American ports.
Both these opinions have SO much proba-
bility behind them as to make them worthy
of consideration. Our fever infection comes
from Havana, or a port infected by Havana,
at least nine times in ten, and Havana
retains the fever year after year be-
cause of bad sanitary conditions, which
would be corrected by the drainage
of its harbor. Fair computations of the
loss caused in the Mississippi Valley last
year by the fever have put it at figure
which would more than cover the cost of
the proposed canal If one year would pay
for the enterprise, what an economy it
would be upon twenty years II is an age
of great undertakings-Su canals, Dover
tunnels, Sahara seas and railways, Pacific
railways, and SO on-and why should we not
have at least one great project to eradicate
destructive and horrible disease II this
thing cannot be done by arrangement with
Spain it is at least one good reason why
the United States should own the island of
Cuba.

The Manufacturing to the retarding in
fuence of the large area of high barometer that
overlies all the districts eastward of the lower
lake regions and central valley districts the
depression in the Northwest made very little
progress during the past twenty-four hours. 1t
is, however, being gradually forced northward
into the British Possessions, and will move to-
ward the Gulf of st. Lawrence, along the upper
margin of the zone of high barometer. The
pressure within it is not very low, and there are
no indications that IL will develop energy until
il approaches the Atlantic coast. Rain has
fallen in the lake regions, Northwest and on
the South Atlantic and Gulf COASTS. In the
other sections of the country fair weather
has generally prevailed The temperature
trail and western portions of the country.
In the Middle Atlantic States and lower lake
regions it varied but little, and fell in the New
England States. The weather will become very
warm in the regions where the yellow fever has
broken out during the next few days The
districts east of the Rocky Mountains The
weather over the British Islands has become
unsettled. Local disturbances, attended by
heavy rains, are reported the western
coasts. 1t is probable that depression will ap-
proach from the Northwest to-day and thunder
and its vicinity to-day will be warmer and partly
cloudy, with showers toward night. Tomorrow
it will be warm and lair.
