TIL. uorse of Commons has rejected bill to
Iicense crematories by n vote of 149 to 10. This
vota sbovys that the sentiment against cremation
is by no means strong as it was. The lntro-
duction of so radical % change in the disposal Oh

and tradition, but by religious feeling and emo

is 80 limited, and in which the struggle of tho
living for room is constantly intensilying Years
ago it was found necessary to prohibit bursls IN
urban cemeteries but already tho cemeteries
which were originally suburban are being absorbed
into the great cities and 1t Is evident that the ora
probcm Will before long have to be reconsidered
Public opinion being what it il. the passage OF
the rejected bill would probably have resulted IN
nothing more than the erection of one or TWO ex-
detrimental crematories. and it would possibly have
nrovcd difHcnlt TO find subjects for them at first
But the initial shock which the proposition gave 10
strong popular prepOssessons and preludlces mas
largely passed away the affirmative vote on the
bill indicates, and since in England movements OF
this kind, which are supported Dy oclchco anu
largely by Reason. are always persisted H. the
measure will, no doubt, be urged upon Parliament
year after year with patient perseverance, until
the desired license is obtained.
But there is no ground for concluding that crema-
ton will be soon or generally adopted everywhere
No matter what can be said It's behalf it has OPP
posed to il a weight of sentiment which. whether
reasonable or not. is asSuredly strong enough TO
prevent change Such Innovations must always
be gradual even when undenably sautary and
rational and unless the fear Of some great pestl-
lence should counterfeit the prevalent feeling IN
favor Of interment, or should move the English
Government to intervene paternany for tho pro-
lection of the public the crematory is not likely to
be generally adopted during the lifetime Of the
present generation.

HOSTILITY TO THE ADIRONDACK BILL.
The prospect of securing the passage OF any
bill to preserve the Adirondack forests has not
been improved by the action of the Assembly
Ways and Means Committee. It's chairman
Mr.. Littlcjohn, said yesterday that the commit
tee had prepared ii bill to substitute for the one
introduced by Mr.. Lansing, which passed the
Senate three weeks ago. There can be no good
reason for this course, unless the substitute ia
to be better and more comprehensive measure
than the original bill. That does not appear to
he the case.
The Senate bill provides for the appointment
of three commissioners and makes IN appro-
priation of $50. poo. The bill prepared by the
WAYS and Means Committee provides ior only
one commissioner and reduces the appropriations
to 81 200. That is not Il change III the right
direction. The Senate bill is weak measure,
but it seems to be the only one that can BE-
passed this year. |. three efficient commission
crs were appointed under that bill. they could
make Il good beginning in the way OF pre-
serving Che forests. and their recommendations
would carry weight with the next Legislature.
The bin does not provide for the acquIsitlonoi
additional lands bat it is better to 20 on und'r
such an act than not even to make DtsinnihG
in the way of preserving the forests.
The effect OF Introducing now such measure
rs that proposed by Mr.. Litt'eiohn Will only be-
to defeat all legislation on this subject. Ihat
would be uiortuuHtc. Too much hostility has
already been shown to legislation on th. sub
ect for the credit of the Legislature. Ih5 So
ate hill Ia l.,@ o"o.,ins dclon IN the house
for three weeks. TO antagOnizc it at this stage
of the session with a still weaker measure
would be discreditable to the wisdom of our
Lawmakers.

The Senators at Albany yesterday ana III eA-
ceIlent stroke of work for Reform and for the
Republican party in passing the Civil Service
Extension bill. AS wisely amended, 1t now
makes the law applicable to the police ana hrc
departments as well as to the other departments
of all New-York cities, and rejects the
clause exempting soldiers and sailors from
examinations. The Assembly will DOUBT
less concur in these amendments. and then the
Republican party can properly claim the
credit of having given the State Civil Service
law that means what it pretends to mean. The
original statute passed by the Democrats was
sickly attempt to hoodwiDk the public into
believing that the Democratic party actually
could think of something above and beyond
spoils. 1t did not succeed and the course OF
the Democratic Senators at this session proves
shat Democratic ardor in favor of Reform IS

LORD GRANViLLES LOGIC.

The last budget of Egyptian correspondence
does not strengthen the British Governments
position. The Ministry are shown to have re-
fused to allow Scpoys to relieve General Cor
don, and for this reason: India has 10 direct in
tcrest in the Soudan. India nevertheless con
tributed a contingent to Lord Wolscleys army
and took part in the conquest Of Lower Egypt
and the Soudan vas the KhCdiyc's African En-
ple. Great Britain and India were declared 10
have common interest in protecting the inter-
oceanic highway and in controlling the dcs-
TIMES Of the country through which i passed.
Indian troops aided the British regiment, i'll de-
fcating and dcmOializing Arabs regiments,
which were subsequently, sent to the Soudan 10
be mastered midas interest in the Soudan
is at least AS direct as Great Britains, for it is
grounded upon the Suez Canal. The commune
cations with India were declared to be menaccd
by revolt in Lover Egypt against the khe-
dive and Tel-el- Kcbir WAS justified Oh the plea
that the Canal would be insecure unless British
influence prevailed at Cairo. The khedlves
have considered the security of Cairo dependent
mainly upon the occupation OF Khartoum and
the control of the Nile Valley. If Cairo can be
mcuaced by instruction at Khart0um, as the
Canal was menaccd by Instruction at Cairo,
the employment of Indian troops III an eX-
pedition to the Soudan would seem as logical
and as legitimate rs the operations oil the
Anglo Indian force under General WOlseley.

The rapid growth OF the D.'ineso interests OF
this community is well illustrated in the bnci
history of the Produce Exchange given on
another page of this impression. In 1896 few
merchants met under an awning at Broad and
South sts., and displayed their samples on the
door steps and window-sils. Next week some
OF these same merchants and hundred, more will
take possession of the beautiful new building
covering a block or so at Broadway and Beaver

Produce Exchange in the country and the Oc-
cupation of it on May g by the merchants will
be memorable occasion.

The refusal of the commissioners TO grant
the Baltimore and 7 Otomac Railway company
permission to lay track across Fourteenth
street to connect with their proposed freight
depot, as stated in yesterdays REPUBLICAN,,
has caused the company to assume defiant
attitude, and they notified the commissioners
yesterday that they had purchased square 2Sj
for the erection of freight depot, and that they
intended TO lay ther tracks TO that square
In response to this notification the commits
sioners sent TO the attorney of the company n
notification that they knew of no law under
which the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
company are authorized to occupy Fourteenth
street with their tracks in the manner indi-
Gated, and accordingly have instructed the
chief of police to interfere and prevent such
occupation until he shows to their satisfaction
ample authority of law for the same"
An order was sent to the chief of police re-
| questing him to cause dillgent watch TO be
| maintained to keep himself advised of any
| proceedings looking to the occupation OF Four
| teenth street as contemplated by the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad company, without a
| permit from the commissioners, and, unless
hereafter directed to the contrary, to take all
necessary steps to prevent such occupation;
The attorney for the district has rendered an
| opinion as to the status of the railways right
to lay the tracks, in which he says: "1ae rail.
road company has just the rights granted by
| congress, and no more. If Fourteenth street
lies across a route granted to 1t by congress II
can cross 1t, otherwise II cannot The fact tha
