At this distance the war of words between
Sir Robert Morier, Englands minister to Rus
STA, and Herbert Bismarck seems like a very
undiplomatie controversy to be waged by diplo-
mats. Sir Robert was British minister at Ber-
lin during the Franco-Prussian war. The Bis
marcks have always disliked him and were
only too glad to give credence to the story that
Sir Robert furnished secret military Informal
ton. obtained from the Empress Augusta when
he met her at Homburg. to the French. Sir
Robert was easily able to disprove the story.
He was not at Homburg at the time named;
the empress was not there. German officers
who were said to have carried the secret in
formation say there was not such intelligence
delivered to the empress at the time named.
50, on all accounts, Morier could not have COM
mitted the breach imputed TO him. Beyond these
specific denials his record for thirty years as
scholar and gentleman should have protected
him. But instead Of demonstrating with the
German chancellor and his son through Sir
Edmund Malet, the present British minister at
Berlin, Morier wrote directly to Herbert Bis
march making hot denial that amounted to
an accusation and demand for redress. Apol-
ogy and public reparation were by this course
obstinstely postponed. but at last there is
prospect Of quiet and the Morier affair is on its
way to join the Mackenzie incident in oblivion.
The Bismarcks have displayed even greater
prejudice, impulsiveness and temper in the
matter than Morier, and the collapse and with
drawal of the charges against the latter and of
the Gefcken prosecution for publication of the
late emperor's diary will be among the most
notifying "reminiscences of the hot-headed
English-hating Bismarcks

The approval by Congress of the six-million-
dollar plan for the new congressional library
building Is asked by joint resolution now
pending. Every consideration Of wisdom and
genuine economy favors the expenditure of
this amount of money upon the plan favored
by Cen Casey. There are indications that no
short-sighted opposition to the resolution will
be made in the House. The Senate is sure to
approve. Vigorous and timely presentation
Of the subject for consideration is probably all
that Is required. But in the House, to secure
the opportunity for action on measure is, for
the present, Of itself serious requirement,
and no friend in that body of the project of a
creditable national library can afford TO be ne
glectful Of the matter.

The cyclone which tore across the country
from Ohio to the seaboard and did such fearful
havoc in Reading, Pa, is the worst storm that
has yet visited the Atlantic slope. Compared
with it the storm in Ohio and West Virginia
last August, or the Virginia cyclone of 1887.
were tribes. There was great loss of life and
property in those disasters, and for the time
they seemed all that could occur in the way of
storm terrors. But yesterdays cyclone ex-
ceeded in its casualties all known storms on
the Atlantic coast. The old notion that the
cyclone was Indigenous to the great west
must be abandoned. With the exception of
the cyclones at Sank Center, Mimi, and Mt
Vernon, ILL.,. all the great wind storms have oc-
CURED during the past two years in the Ale
ghenies or east of them. The theory has been
that Wisconsin, Iowa. Minnesota, and Dakota
were in a belt Of country lying between the cir
conferences of two great storm orbits, one
having its center in the Antilles. the other in
the Arctic regions, and that conflict of
the opposing circumferential currents
of air caused the frequent cyclonic
storms in that northwestern region.
II that be true. what can be said of the preva-
lence of eyclonic storms in the Ohio and Penn
sylvania belt? There must be a shifting of
mighty conditions which may in the course of
a few years make the east the home and prey
OF cyclones rather than the west their sup
posed habitat. The signal service bureau in
its commendable study of tornadoes has done
excellent work and was able to make predic-
ton of yesterdays storm that, promptly dis
tributed over the threatened region. must have
saved many human lives. What did happen
was beyond science to foretell.

fever in our history navy was a necessity
it is just now. Hayti, Samoa, the Canadian
fishing banks and the Isthmus Of Panama all
require watching at once, and the number of
available vessels for these several diverse de-
tails Il limited The new cruisers will not be
IN shape for service for some time TO come.
Meantime wooden ships that are the laughing
stock Of other countries are our chief depend
ence. With the likelihood of some one Of these
little insular quarrels leading to serious rupt-
ure with some one or all of the great European
powers, the reflection might come too late that
the temerity Of the United States in diplo-
matte relations was hardly justified by its
ability to take care of itself in the final arbi-
trament of war.
