TILE TEEELT-PAY MENT III "

TIE TRIBUNE has already called attention
to the fact that the Weekly Payment law
which was passed by the last Legislature IS
the occasion of not little disagreement Like
TOO many legislative cnact;ncnts, il is hardly
sclf-explanatory. The first section reads as
follows:
section l. Every manufacturing. mining or quarry
Ing numbering mercantile railrad, surface. street.
electric aud elevated railway lcAccpt steam surface rail
roads, steamboat telegraph, telephone and municipal
corporatiOn and every incorporated express company
and motor company shall pay weekly each and every
empIoye engaged in it, business the wage earned by
such employc. TO within SIX DAYS Of such payment.
Now what docs this mean? Docs ii mean
that all city employees are 10 be paid of once
= week or something less sweeping than that?
The Corporation Counsel Of this city, as has
already been published, fayOrs the restricted
theory of Interpretation. That is to say, he
holds that the law does not apply 10 employees
of the city departments -salared officials On
tho other hand n brothcr-barrister OF Corpora
ton Counsel Clark the Corporation Counsel of
BROOKLYN has indorscd the unrestricted theory
Of Interpretation. This law" writes Cor
por1tion Counsel jerks "appieS 10 all per
sons without exception who are in the employ
lncnt Of the municipal corporation known as
the city Of brooklyn
Now comes a third Cooperation Counsel with
his Interpretation of the puzziln2 iaw-Corpora-
ton Counsel Helrick of Albany. The Mayor
of the capital lately referred the law 10 Mr..
Herrick for his opinion, and he replies at
length, and substantially takes the ground
which is hold by Corporation Counsel Clark.
Mr.. Herrick reaches the conclusion that only
the so-callcd city laborers need be paid by the
week aud The city officials whose appointment.

COST or RIGH SPEED.

The PHILADELPHIA is officially declared TO have
made an average speed OF 10 IL knots III the
recent trial This is highly satisfactory re-
suit 40 far as speed is concerned, although the
contractor. while earning 100000 in prcml-
ums. processes to be anxious 10 secure anothcr
trial. Ii is reported. however, that this speed
was not developed without demonstrating that
other qualities had been sacrificed t. engine
mower. The vibration of the machinery Is
r,lmOred To have been excessive. and JudiclouS
cvperts have not concealed their opinion that
the engines are too powerful for the null
II is Of the utmost importance that the S'ructn-
raj strength of the vessel should be adcquateIy
tested in actual service a. soon as II passes mo
the possession OF the Government. Fast ruS-
crs are wanted in the navy hut speed Is not
the only practical requirement. Ii - Il
knots can only be made when a ship is trcm-
bling from stem T. stern there i something
radically wrong in the designers calculations
such a speed is nominal at the best II Is made
under exceptionally favorable conditions when
will never again be duplicated and III active
service the snip will never lie put to faster
pace than II or possibly Is knots. ]; l. an
open question whether a nominal speed that
NAV be quoted in the naval lists but never
practically developed in service Is worth al thar
it costs. II certainly is not worth The cost If
there are serious vibrations Of the engines
when the ship is moving.
For the purpose of illustrating tho increased
cost of cruisers built for the express purpose
of developing high speed. the following com
parison is made, the figure, for the Chicago
being taken from TIE Government trials at
Newport and those for the Baltimore and
Philadelphia under exceptionally favorable con
ditions when the contractors were endcayoring
to earn premiums:

The openly defiant attitude OF the colonIsiS
IN Newfoundland toward British authority Is
dealt with in our staff correspondent letter
which appears in another part of this issue
II is reckless. don't-carc feeling which ami
mates tie islanders. They believe the ancient

they don't intend 10 let France interfere with
their industries and prosperity, let come what
NAV. Thus far the British naval authorities
have done nothin: more than 10 utter warnings
and issue protests. What will happen IL strln-
gent measures are adopted is yet TO be seen.
That the colonists are backed up by the
Provincial Government and the Legislature is
an important fact for the British Government
to take into account.
