| THE LONG ISLAND RAILRO1D COLLISION.
A corporation which controls almost the
whole of the railway business of so extensive
and important territory as Long Island, and
| whose crowded trains during the seaside sea-
son convey tens of thousands of people daily, is
| bound to spare no effort or expense which may
| help to render its service efficient and secure
The Long Island Railroad Company, from the
peculiar nature and enormous proportions of its
| passenger business, is under the heaviest obi
cations to perfect It's system in every detail, so
far as the employment of thoroughly COM
petent and experienced men, the use of the best
appliances, and the shaIpest vigilance of super
vision on tile part of its executive officials can
make that system sound, safe and complete. 1t
certainly owes that to the people who are conf
PEELED TO travel over its many lines and to the
general pnblc' rs well. Was the accident of
last evening, occurring almost mt the door of its
central station, at the very headquarters of the
company, one of nature which really cili-
Gent management would have rendered
lmpossiOle
A train from Manhattan Beach and Sleeps
head Bay, thronged with people returning from
the races, went crashing into the Flushing train
in the railroad yard at Long Island City, caus-
ing two deaths and woundng a number of pas
sengers Whose fault was it Superintendent
Barton says the engineer is to be blamed. The
engineer excuses himself by saying that the air
brake failed. But this engineer, 1t seems, had
previously tried the air brake at Bssvllle and
found that it would not work. Yet, as the
Superintendent says, he recklessly approached
the switch at the station at a high rate OF
speed. When he saw the signal requiring him
to stop in order to avoid collision with the
Flushing train, he sounded the whistle that the
trainmen might apply the brakes on the cars.
But the train was not stopped.
An extremely important question for the
Long Island Railroad Company to answer is
this Does it provide its Manhattan Beach
trains with a sufficient number of brakemen To
set the car brakes in case the air brake fails
ULless an emphatic answer in the affirmative
can be given, Superintendent Barton and
President COrbin will fluid that not the engi
neer alone must be held responsible for the
deaths of last evening Those who travel by
tie Manhattan Beach line have observed that
the time and attention OF the trainmen seem to
be pretty thoroughly taken up for no small part
of the trip with the work of punching the tick
cts of the passengers. That part of their duties
is always done in the most exhaustive manner.
But is there quite SD much care taken TO deliver
every passenger safe and sound at the end of
his journey as there is to see that he does not
escape with an unpunched ticket2 The COLI
sion at Springfield station only ten days ago and
the collision of last night give tragic answers
to that question.

order 10 create n vacancy for ono OF the Grand
Dukes: the Prince of Montenegro wishes throne
for his son-in-law and has been intriguing in Con-
stantinople supported by the diplomatic agents OF
Russin; Roumania has been forced to conclude an
alliance with Berlin and Vienna; and in one way
or another the whole Eastern Question is gradually
reopenmg. One of the widest conlectures is the
statement telegraphed from Berlin to the erect
that the agents of the Car have formed coalition
with the Nihilists for active campaign work In
Bulgaria. and this is deliberately published by one
of the most conservative journals in London. The
Balkan peninsula is the scene of diplomatic IN
tricue Mt all times. Austria and RGssia are rivals
there each with two States as natural allies, and
each anticipating the ultimate downfall OF the
Ottoman Empire in Europe. But there is no reason
10 believe that Russia has Mt present any warllke
designs in that quarter. II there be any immediate
movement on its part toward the extension OF It's
vast empire it is in the heart OF Central ASIA in the
direction of Merv and Herat.
IL appears that the Chicago police so unaccus-

stupidity of Chicago policemen. or the intensity and
completeness of Chicago intoxicatlon is not quite
clear.

There is no reason to suppose that the pub
Tic conscience is growing more tender, and so
the decrease of smuggling at this port may be
properly attributed to the watchfulness of the
Customs Inspectors. The number of seizures at
New-York during the last fiscal year was 191,
and the value of the goods only about
$4,000. This is an excellent showing COM
pared with former years.

Professor Edward S. Holden, Director Of tho
| Washburn Observatory. University of Wisconsin,
suggests practical expedient for giving warning
of the approach of cy clones. Basng his conclusions
upon an analysis of the characterstcS of 600 tor
nadoes exhibited IN tables prepared by ser geant
Fiulay Of the Signal Service, he airms that within
IA district 900 miles square general warning that
a tornado is likely to occur within twenty-fonr
hours be given, but there is no probability that
any particular section thirty miles square can be
dictated in advance by Government weather re-
port as being in peculiir danger. Consequently
dependence must be placed upon system of local
warnings. He considers it practicable TO erect at
moderate xpense an apparatus which Will give
from three To FIVE minutes warning, by the firing of
a cannon or the ringing of bell IN every house. of
the APPROACH of tornado. He describes circuit
OF wires and magnets which would answer for
small town the Western States The thin wires
bet ween the telegraph poles made that they
will snap when the pressure of the wind IS equva-
lent TO certain number OF pounds, and single
ulpture will break the entire circuit and give the
necessary warning in every house. The device is
certainly ingenious; but its utility is ques-
tiopabie. The official observer on the watch for
tornado clouds would exaggerate the significance of
every black, threatening mass in the sky, and
twenty; and practical jokers and thieves would
have the community at their mercy, for single
break in the wires in the fields would set the bells
ringing in every house and a cannon booming IN
the public common, and widespread CONSERVATION
would ensue.

The Riverdale steamboat explosion is being
thoroughly investigated now, at any rate. The
Coroner and a particularly inQuisitive jury have
the matter in hand, as well as the United States
Steamboat Inspectors. 1t will occur to most
people that it is great pity some of this in
vestigation did not take place in time TO pre-
vent the explosion. Ia month ago it would have
been worth while to know what Mr.. James H.
Stevens gravely pointed out yesterday that the
boiler was sound except where 1t burst.

Tn renominating MI. George q. Erwin to the
Assembly, tho Republicans of the Hid DIS
trict in st. Lawrence County do credit 10
their own intelligence and pay deserved
compliment to an efficient member OF the last
two Legislatures. Mr. Erwin was particularly
active and efficient last winter at Albany III
exposing the political schemes of the Demo-
Gratis in the Assembly, and denomination was
fairly deserved. If the Republicans all over
the State pick out as good men to represent
them az these st. Lawrence voters have done,
the party will be certain of victory in NOyem-
Der, and moreover we shall have an Assem-
bly, which will be something like what II
ought to be. The nomination of Mr.. John J..
Gilbert in the Senate district comprising
Lewis, st. Lawrence and Franklin Counties,
which is assured by the action of the con-
ventions in the two last-named counties
yesterday, is also an excellent one.
Timid spectators of the political contest in
Iowa who were sure the Republican party
there was going to the bow-wows because it
held that if a majority of the voters in the
State wanted Prohibition, they were entitled
to it, may brace up little now. The indica-
tons of the canvass at present are
that the State will be Republican by
satisfactory majority. This opinion is
shared by the Hon. John A. Kasson, a talk
with whom is reported i'll another column. lie
says that although the party will lose some
votes in the cities, OWING to its temperance
attitude, a gain Will be made in the rural dis
tricts All sensible people see that 1T is not
so much Prohibition that the Republican party
has approved as the principle that the will of
the majority must rule The day has not yet
dawned in this country when to espouse that
principle is a source of weakness.

Whatever may have been the cause of the
riot at Canton, China, the intensity of the dis
turbance was unquestonably due to the feel
ing which has been excited among the natives
by the attitude of France toward the Celestial
Empire 1t is not singular that the outbreak
has greatly alarmed all Europeans and Amer
leans living in Chinese cities. The natives
whom once reused against foreigners will not
distinguish between Frenchmen and other
nationalities. This is the danger which gives
England, Germany and America anxiety con-
corning the Franco-Tonquin affair. If the
Republic Wac the only one to bear the brunt of
Chinese wrath, other nations might loox on

Although the Democratic factions talk of
harmony and honest dealing as if they really
hoped for them, whenever any arrangements
are made for the elections it is evident that
neither party trusts the other now any more
than in the days of their most pronounced
enmity. For instance, the Police Commits
sioners yesterday named the Election Inspec-
tors, and divided up the Democratic list, CIV
ing fve-twelfths to Tammany, fve-twelfths
to the County Democracy and two-twelfths to
Irving Hall-the same proportions as last
year. Probably the delegations from this CITY
to the Buffalo Convention will be admitted on
the same basis.

central figure. Tho piece was written tor

the author 10 give the principal character
all the prominence aud RttractiyCnCss pos

and the quaint and really clover cOmicali
ties which abound in the part are in truth
enjoyable. Still it is noticeable that Mr..
Williams calls forth as much laughter and
applause when he recites something that
has no connection with the play as when
he Is IN his part amidst his support, thus
proving that nothing in the piece nor it's
people accrue 70 his popularity. In " One
