ROUGH ON THE BOARD.
Charity Managers Roasted by the Disap-
pointed Applicants,

1tUttSt6u DISap-
pointed Applicants,
s'The Board of Charities" said James B.
Scott occupies very awkward position
and we are roasted for much that we do not
deserve. We never know what is the amount
of money for charity at the disposal of the
State. If we undertake to cut down some
demands and make the total of all less than
the available sum, then we are accused of be-
ing mean or not understanding our business.
How could we know in advance what to do,
and how much to allow each one
''This year, he continued, "the requests
for charity are away out of proportion with
the State revenues and a great many people
will be disappointed. 1 suppose the Charity
Board will come in for its usual share Of
1t is no fault of ours. Why, some apply for
charity who do not come under the require
ments of the act. We have to refuse them,
and they naturally feel SORE"

question is the protest which the brigade
General Snowden, in case he orders the three
batteries and the three cavalry troops of the
guard to go into camp at Mt. Gretna
Some time ago he stated that he would
issue such an order. This would take away
from the brigade encampment the artillery
and cavalry, which the brigade commanders
say should be present at the regular encamp-
ments, and not sent Off to encamp alone.

Bader added that his vote was not for sale
The Councilman referred to said the

PAcxzD OFF 70 CHINA.
Admiral Harmony Ordered to Proceed to
the Asiatic Station at Once.

the Asiatio Station at Once.
~ ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPAfcH.l
WARRINGTON, June 10-Among the naval
orders to-day was significant one authoriz-
ing Rear Admiral David b. Harmony to
hoist his nag on the Lancaster on the 23d
inst and to proceed to the Asiatic station to
relieve Rear Admiral George 4. Belknap,
now In command. LieutenantJ. X. Selfridge,
q son Of Admiral Selfridge, Is also ordered to
the Lancaster as flag lieutenant. Rear Ad-
miral Harmony had also been notified to
hold himselfin readiness to go to China when
he was so suddenly detached from the Chair
manship Of the Lighthouse Board, but sum
mary orders to-day, nevertheless, created
some surprise and no little gossip among
naval officers
At first glance 1t was taken as an indica-
ton that Admiral Harmony was to be al
lowed no further meditation as to the ad-
visibility of retiring under the 45-year
service rule. He is entitled to retire with
his present rank, and it was presumed that
he would gladly avail himself of this oppor-
tunfty in preference to q sail around the
world in such an insignificant flagship as
the Lancaster In fact, 1t was generally said
when he was removed from the Lighthouse
Board that it was the wish of the depart
ment to force his retirement. His friends
to-day, however, think he will stick in the
navy, ffonly to spite those who seem anxious
to get rid of him, and that he will very soon
appear ut the Brooklyn Navy Yard prepared
for duty. The Lancaster Is in a good state
of repair, and has been waiting for crew
at Brooklyn for some time. If she gets away
by the end ofthis month she could not reach
months. If Admiral Harmony. decides to
go by way of the Mediterranean, 1t will take
him over year and will be altogether de-
lightful trip.

HIGHER LICENSE.

The approval of the new license bill by
the Governor completes the enactment of
the law by which the cost of liquor
licenses next year will be raised to 1000,
and a large additional revenue will be
given to the city treasury.
THE DISPATCH has always advocated
imposing the highest license on the liquor
traffic cOllectable. 4 dealer who has paid
such sum is under the heaviest bonds to
keep his business in the best order. He
knows that every disorder in his saloon,
every sale to drunken man or to minors,
will put him in peril of serious loss in the
forfeiture of his license. Of course, the
sucfess of the law depends on the strict
suppression of illict liquor selling; but with
the city receiving revenue of nearly $780,
900 from the licensed trade, it will have
the strongest inducement to break up the
Illegal trade.
The change brings a considerable in
crease to the treasury Of the city, although
the statements which put the gain as high
as $500, 600 are rather wild. Under the old
law the city received s120 from each license
granted within its limits; under the new
it receives $500. On the basis of 325
licenses in the city, or the present number,
this signifies gain on the present revenue
of S2J3, 500 for the city and loss of Sc, 500
for the county,

educated to be lawyer, but spent few years In
mercantile life. About this time Edwards made
the acquaintance Of j. L. Toole the comedian, and

sion, and went TO Australia He acted Tn few

THE RAPID TRANSIT PROBLEM.

The conclusion to which New York is
strongly tending in favor of underground
rapid transit is undoubtedly the most COM
plete solution of the question where large
populations require quick transit. 1t has
proved so in London, where actual expert
ence with underground railways has
brought fares down to two-cent level for
the working maSses-a charge utterly i'm
possible unless that method of travel were
adopted by an immense number.
In New York the elevated railroad has
been adopted rather from the American
habit of taking the most easily attainable
expedient, even If it be temporary, than
from any deliberate preference. That
plan is cumbersome to the streets, and asa
permanent arrangement cannot be re-
garded with confidence. An underground
construction once effected will last for all
time; All elevated structure must in course
of time suffer from disintegration, and the
consequence Of a breakdown or even a
GeTailment are SO awful as to make people
EE1 indulge in looking ahead exceedingly
10th to regard elevated railways as final
solution OF the rapid transit question.
Those who adopt underground roads at
present have the advantage of the avsila-
bility Of electric power, which keeps the
tunnel free from smoke and gas, while the
