tion. The exact rate of speed ON her last
trip is still matter of uncertainty As for
structural weakness the experts who recent
ly examined her at the request of Mr.. Roach
found no evidence of it, and their opinion is
quite as good probably as that of Mr.. Whit
ney's commission. The naval advisory board
under whose direction she was built and who
examined her step by step as her construc-
ton progressed. has not yet been heard from.
If the case gets into the courts, as it seems
destined to do, the opinions of all these
parties will be pertinent and likely to
weigh quite as muchsas the opinion of Mr..
Whitney's commission.

sad CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN SPAIN.
North American
Serious as have been the reports Of the
ravages of the cholera in Spain, it may well
be doubted whether they do not understate
the truth. There seems to be total lack of
system in the stricken country and disheart-
ening degree of official and private greed.
Even the quarantine appears to have been
turned into an instrument of extortion,
while as means of checking the spread of
the disease it has been almost useless In
stead of relieving the overcrowded cemete-
ries by cremation, the dead in some localities
are left for days unburied, and scourge
even more terrible than cholera may yet be
experienced Meanwhile the King and his
Ministers are wTangling over political de-
tails which are doubtless of little import at
any time, and which just now should be of
no concern whatever.

Postmaster General Vilas's decision not to
distribute the sum appropriated by Congress
for carrying the foreign mails causes the
withdrawal of the Pacific Mail Company's
line OF steamera to Australia That line con-
stituted link in the shortest route between
England and Australia, and always carried
large mail from Europe as well as from the
United States. For some years the compa-
ny has been paid a subsidy by the Australian
government. The contracts are about to ex-
pire, and the Australians have declined to
renew them, unless the United States would
pay its share. The line without the subsidy

be discontinued when the subsidy expires.
This is the only regular steam communica
ton between Australia and the United
States, and its stoppage will cause much in
convenience to the people of thi. country. as
well as Englishmen and Australians.

THE DOLPHIN CONTROVERSY.

Secretary Whitney is reported as undecid.
ed what course to adopt in reference to the
Dolphin. Guided by the opinion of the AT.
torney General, he would promptly reject
her and bring suit against Mr.. Roach for the
money already paid him on her account.
But Mr.. Whitney is lawyer, and it may
have occurred to him, in looking over Mr..
Garland's opinion, that there are points in it
which it is very doubtful if a court would
sustain. The letter of ex-Secretary Chand-
Ter certainly pointed out some very glaring
Inconsistencies which it will be very
hard to clearup. Undoubtedly Mr.. Whitney's
wishes in the matter lie in the direction ofthe
Attorney Generals decision, but it would
be wretched business for him to bring suit
against Mr.. Roach and get beaten, and con-
sequently he is inclined to be discreet and
hasten slowly.
Mr.. Garland's opinion turns out not to be
80 satisfactory to Democratic contractors
who have been anxious to get Mr.. Roach out
OF the way so that they might have clear
field as 1t was supposed it would be. These
contractors say that the effect of it will be to
make bidding for naval contracts unsafe for
anybody. Ii the government eau reject a
vessel built according to plans furnished by
Its own authorized agents because these plans
do not produce the results anticipated, every
shipbuilder who takes contract from the
navy department is liable to have his work.
no matter how faithfully performed, thrown
back on to his hands and suffer disastrous
loss in consequence. No responsible builder
would be likely to take sucha risk as that
Whatever the technical merits of the gov
eminent side, as represented by the Attorney
Generals opinion, it is quite evident that the
equities OF the case are all on the side of Mr..
Roach. He was not employed to build a YES
sci and guarantee that she should perform
certain work. Had he contracted to furnish
the models and construct despatch boat
that would attain certain speed under GER
tain conditions, and the vessel had failed TO
attain 1t, then it would be obvious that he
had not complied with the conditions of his
contract, and that the government was not
bound to accept his vessel. But this was not
the case. Mr.. Roach had nothing whatever
10 do with the modelling of the vessel. The
plans were furnished by the navy depart
ment, and he was bound to follow
them In her construction. Had he
varied them that Of itself would have
been sufficient ground for her rejection. Mr..
Roach can therefore be fairly held re-
sponsible only for good workmanship and
good material. If he has failed in either of
these points, he has not fulfilled his contract.
Buff he has faithfully performed his duty |
in these particulars, he has done all that can
be justly required of him. If the naval |
board which designed the vessel misjudged |
the results their plans would produce, they |
and not Mr.. Roach should be held re-
spOnsible.
But it Is by no means satisfactorily shown l
that the vessel has not come up to expecta-

The Portland & Ogdensburg railroad bill,
as passed by the New Hampshire Legisla-
ture, is in all its essential details the same
bill passed by the Legislature of Maine, ac-
cording the bondholders the same rights and
privileges under foreclosure proceedings
As litigation was pending when the bill
passed by the Maine Legislature was drawn
up, which was settled before the New Hamp-
shire bill was drawn, it became unneces-
sary in the latter bill to provide for some of
the contingencies which had to be taken into
account In the former The New Hampshire
bill Is much shorter, therefore, than the
Maine bill, but it is substantially the same
in its essential parts.
