The officers and passengers on the Cunard
steamship Servia apparently did not have the
usual eagerness for news yesterday when
possesses most people who for days have been
miles away from a newspaper. Otherwise they
would have learned on their arrival at Quaran-
tine that they could go to their old pier instead
of to the Barge Office and then their feelings
would not have been lacerated by missing their
friends who were waiting at the original land
ing place. Moreover, their trunks would have
had one less banging about.
Fuller details of President Whites reasons for
resioning his position as head OF Cornell uni
versitv than were contained in his official let
fer to the trustees will be found elsewhere in
this paper. He thinks he has served long
enough for the good of the college. and he
wants change and a chance to be useful LII
other directions. 1t will not be possible, how
ever, for politicians to misunderstood Mr.
Whites position. He says he Is neither can
didatc for the Governorship nor the right man
to be selected for the place.
The Columbia College boating men who did
not send crew to row on Lake QuinsigamOnd
at Worcester, Mass, as they at one time in
tended, are right in not regretting that they
kent out of the regatta. Il was an unfortunate
affair, in many respects. Proper provision
does not seem to have been made by which the
Judges and the referee would have been able
to see the race from beginning to end. The
referees decisions as to the result, therefore,
are not acceptable to all concerned, and as the
Browns will not row the race over again, no
crew can claim victory with any satisfaction
to itself. Possibly the foulng was unavoid-
able, but it was none the less to be regretted.
Altogether there was not much about the re-
gatta to make any one wish that it should be
repeated next year.
General Lew Wallace, who has been in a
position to learn thoroughly what the Turks
think of the Russian advance in Afghanistan,
declares that at COnstantinople the Car is
believed to want to get an outlet in the Persian
Gulf more than he wants anything else, just
now. This is the view of many people outside
L.. De-.
Gulf, connecting at the head Of that body OF
water with the Russian railway now construct
ing in Asia, could keep up a brisk competition
with the Suez Canal. If this Is what Russia is
after, the British need not fear that India is
in danger of actual invasion. Yet it is ques-
ton il English traders would not think that to
prevent the opening of Russian port ON the
Indian Ocean was an object worth fighting for.
In looking over the newspapers this morning
the Administration ought not to skip the ac
count of n talk with Colonel George Bliss pub
lished in this issue of The TRIBUNE The SUBJ
ject is Secretary Manning's recent order as to
the practice in reappralscments which, Colonel
Bliss declares. does great injustice to the mer-
chants of Newly 1t leaves the importer
unrepresented at the examination into the al
legged undervaluatiOn, thus putting too great
power for harm IN the hands of the special
agents. Clearly this state of things is wrong |;
but if it is not kept up too long the public Will
probably accept Colonel Bliss's charitable
opinion that the Administration has been de-
ceived and would not willingly injure the i'm
porting interests of New York.
Mayor Low doubtless has reasons which are
sufficient unto himself for vetOing, as it is said
