TIE BALTIKORE'S TRIAL.

Reports of the private trials Of the new
cruiser Baltimore are most encouraging 1t is
our earnest hope that the vessels performance
in the approaching official tests will justify the
highest expectations that are now formed re-
Spectng her speed horse power and seaworthi-
ness. If her machinery will accomplish the
results for which it was designed the contractors
will earn large sum in premiums; but the
substantial gain of having in the navy one of
the fastest vessels on the seas will amply
compensate the Government for the increased
cost. 1t is premature, however, to conclude that
the Baltimore will fulfil the minimum require
ments of the contract. Such reports as have
been published are inspired by the builders and
are not in any sense critical. The official tests
must be awaited, as in the case of the Charles
ton, before the country can be congratulated
upon a marked improvement in naval archi-
lecture.
The builders ought to have no difficulty in
obtaining the acceptance of the Baltimore for
they were favored by the Democratic Secretary
Of the Navy in the terms Of the contract. The
English plans for the machinery called for
1880 indicated horsepower but by the re-
quirements Of the contract the maximum horse
power named is 5000, and the ship will not be
rejected unless the horsepower falls below
5000. For every unit Of horse power below
5000 penalty OF 500 may be imposed, but
the ship cannot be rejected if it develops 5000.
That will be 1850 below the designed horse
power-a very wide margin, when it is recol-
lected what a racket was raised by the Demo
cratic Secretary over a deficiency of 90 in one
Of the Roach vessels, although a full equivalent
was furnished in speed. The maximum re-
qurement, 5000, is $50 below the designed
horsepower; and for every unit above those
figures premium Of 500 will be paid. That
is to say, if the Cramps succeed in developing
the 1880 horse power, for which the English
firm of Sir W. c. Armstrong &c Co. designed
the machinery, they will receive the handsome
bounty of S175, 900 above the contract price.
1t is our hope that they will get every hundred
dollars of that bounty, for if they do the navy
will have one Of the fastest and most remark
able vessels afloat. Certainly the Baltimore
ought TO answer the requirements for accept
ance with margin of 1850 in the builders
favor.
No objection can be raised to the system of
premiums and bounties for horse-pOw and
speed above the contract limitations. With
engine making and the designing of cruisers
in the present experimental stage it is not only
wise but just to put contractors on their mettle
and to encourage them to secure the best pos
sble results in horsepower and speed. We
favor the system, but cannot avoid remarliing
that the margin allowed the builders Of the
Baltimore was much greater than the facts war
ranted When provision was made for the pay
ment Of $4,000 for the development Of the

PROVIDING FOR LARGE NEW SCHOOLS

The Board OF Education held special meeting
yesterday to approve bids for new schools in the
upper part Of the city. One Of these is building
at ST. Nicholas ave- and One-hundred- and fifty sixth
ST. to be known Grammar School No. 46. 1t Will
have primary and male and female grammar depart
ments. The lowest bidders Mahoncy Brothers,
$4,000, and their bid accepted. Another
building at One-hundred and sixty thrd-st and Eagle
ave. Is 10 be Of the biggest schools Of the city.
II viii have three departments. and cassrooms that
will be built with view TO the
teaching OF manual training. The lowest
bid, that Of Thomas CocSerIll & Sons, S237, III,
was accepted. The school will have accommodations
for more than 5000 pupils. One of the reasons,
Commissioner Holt said, for the great cost Of the
building was that attempt had been made 10 avoid
some OF the defects In other schools OF the city, by
providing for a smaller number Of pupils TO class.
Tho average number will not exceed hfty-four, while
in downtown schools sixty to eighty have been taught
In one classroom.

In EMPEROR FIXED UPON

The attempted assassination of Dom Pedro in
Rio Janeiro is significant proof of the vicissi-
tudes of royal fortunes. The Emperor of Brazil
is not only one Of the oldest, but also one of the
most enlightened and progressive of sovereigns /;
but his long and prosperous reign has not Sc
cured him immunity from the dangers OF su-
preme rank and station. Returning to his CAPT.
tai after a protracted journey in Europe, made
for relaxation and medical treatment he has de-
voted himself with characteristic energy to the
business of state and has mingled freely with
his subjects, who have remained loyal to MN
from the untoward beginning Of his reign. The
assassin has suddenly confronted him without
warning when there was no reason to suppose
that he had secret enemy in his broad do
minion. As the monarch was leaving theatre
after tranquil evenings amusement Portu-
guese fred a revolver at short range and mar
rowly missed killing him in front of the royal
carriage The motive for the assault is not re-
vealed by the cable dispatches, but it is fair
inference from the political and social con-
ditions of Brazil that the assassin is OF I'M
sound mind and irresponsible for his act
Brazil under the Alcantaras has presented the
striking anomaly Of constitutional Kingdom
founded, administered and reformed by princes
of a European royal house. During the Ma
poleonic wars the Prince Regent of Portugal
found a refuge in his South American posses
sions for his distracted court. He remained
there from 1908 to 1920, when he returned to
Lisbon, leaving his eldest son, Dom Pedro l.
regent of Brazil. Within two years the SON
proclaimed the independence Of the Kingdom
and his own elevation to the throne as En-
peror, renouncing his hereditary rights to the
throne of Portugal. While a Constitution was
Immediately drawn up and liberal and pro-
gressve administration inaugurated, the mon
arch incurred unpopularity and abdicated after
a stormy reign of nine years. His son, Dom
Pedro H. succeeded him under a regency dur
ing his minority, his coronation being deferred
for ten years Since 1841 he has been almost
an ideal monarch, placing himself at the head
of the national movement in favor of gradual
emancipation, taking an important part in in
ternational alliances for the suppression of the
slave trade, opening the great rivers of his
domini0nS to the commerce of the world, intro
ducing railways teegraphs, postal routes and
public schools, and establishing a new era of
material prosperity for his people. In every
other quarter of the world the Portuguese have
governed badly, but in Brazil the Alcantaras
have pursued an enlightened policy and given
form and direction to the agencies of modern
civilization. Such a sovereign as Dom Pedro
II did not deserve to fall by the assasSin's sud
den caprice.

Commodore Elbridge 7. Gerry, who was one of the
State Commission appointed investigate the subject
Of execution by electricity, hand yesterday
morning ready to testify in the Kemmler reference
case but W. Bourke Cochran, attorney for the con-
dcmncd man. was detained I'm the SlTrOgate's Court
and as he wanted 10 examine Mr.. Gerry himself he
asked for a continuance until today. This was
granted by Referee Becker after the evidence of Fran
els W. Jones' electrician Of the Postal Telegraph and
Cable Company, who occupied the stand on Tuesday,
was finished. Mr. Jones' on his cross examination by
Deputy Attorney General Poste. gave as the con-
illusions that he drew from his tests various per-
sons that the electrical resistance largely infu
enccd by the cOsencss of contact OF the electrodes and
the flesh, that It decreased when the size of the
elGtrodes was increased that a strengthening of the
tro motive force eSsened the resistance, and that
the passage of the current did not diminish the re-
sistance Good conductors. he said, such as metals,
showed the resistance matter what the
strength OF the current, while imperfect conductors
such wet glass. decreased in resistance as a
stronger current sent through them. The snews
muscles and bones OF the human body were noncon
ductors but the body as a whole made fairly
good conductor by the blood and other fluids.
"What would be the result IL two dynamos were
used in executions" asked Mr.. Becker.
unless the dynanos arranged by experts, it
is very likely that they would partly neutralize each
other II a scientist who knew the theory of the
strength of current arranged them, however, be-
lieve that their combined voages would be the sum
of the voltages of each one of them Still in this
latter case think the insulation of the 'wires would
be worn out and It would be impossible TO handle the
current. II might be possible TO such insula
ton that even of 1000 volts would not tear
1t away"
DO you know asked Mr.. Poste, " that Mr.
Gordon I'm England has constructed dynamo with
voltage of 10000l"
The witness did not but had read that there was
much larger dynamo In England than those gener-
ally used In this country and that Mr.. Edison had also
built an exceedingly large one.
The hearing Will go on at 10 a. m. today.

WHITECHAPEL and RED TAPE

The Whitechapel 6end has resumed his at
tempt to solve his own ffteen-pHzle, When
he butchered his fourth victim alb out ten months
ago he left his sign manual On the wall in
chalked letters: Fifteen before | surrender"
Early in November last he committed the ninth
murder Of the series and then paused in his
himself, if he be capable of reasoning about
| anything. The mangled body found in the
Thames during June of this year was at first
regarded as that of another victim of this
frenzied but closely calculating assassin; but
the evidence of his handiwork was speedily
called in question and the scientific methods Of
the disSecting room were unerringy recognized.
The new crime in Castle Alley in the heart Of
the Whtechapel district is consequently the
tenth which is to be assigned to the mysterious
murderer. 1t presents all the characteristic as
poets of his cunning, audacity and barbarous
atrocity The murder was committed soon
after midnight in denSey populated district
with watchmen and policemen within calling
distance. Either to facilitate his rough methods
of dissection, or else TO exhibit his contempt for
the police, the assassin dragged the body into
the full glare of a street lamp. When his work
curely as on former occasions. A clay pipe
smeared with blood is the only additional clew
in the possession of sorely baflled and incom-
petent police.
The only apparent result of this new as
sassination is the renewal of agitation for radi-
cal reforms in London police management. Sir
Charles Warrens successor has failed to pre-
vent the recurrence of a CHASTITY series Of crimes
which has Mortified Christendom, and naturally
he will be sharply criticised for incompetence ;
but the antquated system of policing the most
densely populated city in Europe will again pass
under the ban of popular condemnation. The
changes recently effected by legislation in the
conditions of local government in London ought
to facilitate transfer of authority to the
Municipal Council and sweeping measures of
reform in administration. There is not another
great city in the civilized world where ten mid
night asSaSsnations Of this atrociOus character
could have been successfully planned and eX
ecuted by mailman. In New York systematic
bouse-to-hCuSe visitations by the police in sus-
pected areas would have been ordered and other
expedients for tracking the murderer would
have been employed In London the police re-
main bewildered and demorazed, their hands
tied by traditional coils of red-tape and their
limited intelligence oyertaXed by the effort to
graphic with the mysterious mailman, who
butchers and mangleS women when the caprice
SEXES him and escapes with as little difficulty
as bloodthirSty Arab in an African Jungle
when his helpless slaves have been murdered.
