The Times India correspondent gives us
some important intelligence. regarding Mr..
Conway 3 exploring party in the Hindu-Kush.
The party has arrived at Askoleya after max
ing the first definitely recorded passage Of the
HiSpaT Pass-the longest glacier pass III the
world. The party left Magyar on June q, spent
ten days exploring the vast system Of glaciers
not marked on any map which the north
slopes Of the main Hindu Kush range in
that neighbourhood. Mr. Conway ascOnded
q difficult rock peak Of 1900 feet, and
attempted the ascent Of the Great Magyar
Mountain, but he was driven back by a hun
dred yards Of ice fall, that proved to be abso-
lutely impossible. On July II after q days
halt at HI4par, Mr.. Conway started up the
great glacier and reached the foot Of Nushik
in three short marches. The next day being
cloudy lie did not 90 to the top Of Nushik.
AZ he had intended. but he sent 8 party under
Mr.. Rondebush to cross that pass. They
took all the spare baggage and conveyed it
by the Braldo Valley to Askoleys. Mean
while Mr.. Conway and Mr.. M'Cclmlck with an
Alpine guide, Zurbuggen, continued three mora
marches up the great Hispar glacier to the
pass, which they actually crossed on July IL.
The view from the pass IS sad to be superb,
over q vast lake Of snow some 800 miles IN
arsa, qui flat, surrounded by a ring of giant
peaks and with q row Of peaks rising like isl
und8 IN tue midst Of it. They camped justbelow
the pass on the east side and were overtaken
by a severe snowstorm They descended
two marches down the Biafo glacier to the
level Of grass. whence they sent Zurbuggen
to Askoleja, which he reached in one long
day march. Mr.. Conway spent SIX days on
the way, chiefly occupied in surveying, which
the continued bad weather rendered difficult.
The whole party reunited at Askoleya on
July 26. The length Of the pass from the
foot Of the IIispar Pass to the foot Of the BIZ

AN UNACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE.

The Louisville Courier-Journ0l inquiries
with regard to Senator Stanford'S great
scheme for furnishing the holders of agri-
cultural land with funds at cheap interest:
'fWhy does not Senator Stanford organize
an association of millionaires who will
lend the farmers money at two per cent?
Aren't the millionaires better able to lend
it at that rate than the taxpayers"
Our esteemed free trade cotemporary
should be informed that this arrangement
would not suit at all. 1t would not suit
the millionaires who are in Senator STAN
ford's position, because it would fail to
furnish them with loans on their millions
of acres at two per cent, which they could
reinvest to yield ten percent. 1t would not
suit the taxpayers either because. if the
Stanford brand of millionaireS should loan
their fortunes out at two per cent it would
be necessary for them to get up some
scheme for getting the money back, either
by direct means like the Pacific railway
grabs or the slightly more indirect ones of
trusts and pools Whatever was loaned
so much below the market rate for money
the public would have to make good to
them.
No, esteemed organ of the star-eyed
goddess, your substitute will not do.
Even supposing that Senator Stanford
could be persuaded to accept it, it would
cost the people too much money.

VIGOROUS MEASURES NEEDED

The warnings as to the possibility of
typhus in Pittsburg prove not to have been
misplaced. A case from the plague-im-
porting steamer that recently landed its
load of infected immigrants at New York
is reported which yesterday gave strong
indications that the disease is in the city.
This will call for urgent and radical
measures of prevention and isolation on
the part of the health authorities. No
effort should be spared TO limit the disease
to those who brought it here. Citizens
can aid the work and use the most efficient
means for their own protection by estab-
fishing cleanliness and thorough sanitation
as the order of the day.
1t is pertinent to state that the effective
isolation of the disease does not consist of
leaving case in a crowded quarter of the
city. 1t was exactly such isolation that
caused the smallpox epidemic of dozen
wears ago.

CONFUSED INSTRUCTION.

1t is more than probable that our es-
teemed cotemporary, the Philadelphia
Times, is right in asserting that no legisla-
ton against business gambling will change
or check a popular disposition to that evil.
But it is 70 be regretted that it supports
that argument by such assertions as the
following:
man CANDLES on the future when he de-
cides between business and college educa-
tioD. He CANDLES on the future in the
choice of his profession or trade. He gam
bles on the future in his selection of wife.
He stakes his prosperity and his comfort, or a
part of them, on every transaction into
which his strife for fortune forces him Or
which opportunity offers him.
The darkening of the subject by such
erroneous assertion is especially unfortu-
nate in view of the fact that any reform
Of the gambling tendencies of the time must
be secured by an improved public opinion.
No such public judgment can be obtained
through instructions which so utterly fail
10 draw the vital distinction between gam
bling and accepting the necessary chances
of life For the sake of insisting on a
better understanding of the subject it is
worth while to point out to our cotempo-
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-02-17

rary that in the assertions quoted it com.
mits itself to statements essentially un.
true.
Without quarrelinp about the terms in
volved in definition of gambling, it Is i'm
portant that the evil of it consists in the
fact that the money gained by it is some
other persons loss, and the money lost by
it gives no return. Its characteristic is
that it is an attempt to gain money with
out giving an honest consideration, while
the true criterion of legitimate business is
that in its transactions there is always a
mutual benefit. When staid Philadel-
phian starts down town to buy food for
his family he takes the chances of being
struck by lightning or run over by the
cable cars; but he does not seek to make a
gain by the loss of some other person,
which is the vital characteristic OF gam
bling. He simply accepts the chances
which may surround acts necessary to the
maintenance of life and the welfare of
society. The same rule applies to all the
illustrations quoted above. To say that
marriage is lottery is poetic metaphor,
and not a social truth.
1t is true that gambling is to be lessened,
as the Times intimates, only by convinc-
ing people of its folly and dishonesty.
But there is little hope of doing that while
public journals are unable to enforce the
vital fact that the evil of gambling lies in
the effort to get other peoples wealth
without giving a fair return for it.

THE CHAMPION BLUNDER.

There is necessity for an investigation
either by the minority of the House Coin
age Committee or the lunacy authorities of
the District of Columbia as to what freak
of inspired laundering inserted in the
minority report against the Bland free
coinage bill the following unique state
ment of the enactment and effect of the
! bill:
That the mints of this country shall re-
ceive all the silver which may be sent from
any quarter for coinage into dollars, l6 OF
which snail be convertible into one gold
dollar. 1t is perfectly clear that at the very
moment the Treasury of the United States
shall refuse to pay gold coin upon demand
no one else will receive 16 silver dollars in
lieu of one gold dollar.
THE DISPATCH has already placed itself
clearly in opposition to the Bland PROPOSE
ton for silver monometallism. But the
extraordinary genius for laundering which
is displayed by the succession Of asser-
tions, first, that the bill cOntemplates the
exchange at the Treasury of 16 silver dol
lars for one gold dollar, which it does not;
second, that for the Treasury to give one
gold dollar for 16 silver dollars would be
to its disadvantage; and, third, that no one
else will receive 16 silver dollars in lieu of
one gold dollar, is so stunning that it will be
a public service to inquire whether Mr..
Williams, of Massachusetts,, the clerk of
this committee, or some exotic genius per-
petrated it.
Every one with even a superficial knowl-
edge of the coinage issue knows that the
proposal is that one silver dollar, contain
ing 16 times as much metal in weight
shall be exchangeable for one gold dollar.
As to the unique transaction set forth in
the official document quoted from, a very
little figuring will show what it amounts
to. The person who gives gold dollar
for 16 silvers will thus buy 1899 ounces
of silver for dollar. At 80 cents per
ounce-the bottom rock price for silver
the metal he would thus get for a dollar
would be worth S12 Is for use in the arts,
giving him the very neat little profit of
S11 10 on an investment of dollar.
We can find hundreds of thousands of
people who will engage in that transac-
ton if Mr.. Williams will find the people
who will furnish the silver dollars.

PHON0GRAPHs FOR DEAFNESS.
Sounds Transmitted by Vibrations to the

Sounds Transmitted by Vibrations to the
Brain.
BALTIMORE MD, Feb. 16.-At the Southern
Homeopathic Medical College public dem
onstration was given yesterday of the uses
of the photograph for the cure of deafness,
a discovery made by DR.. Ii. F. Gary, pro-
fessor in the eye and ear division of the col
lege. An exposition of the principles of the
treatment was given. 1t is the massage of
those parts of the ear which transmit sound
into the brain. The phonograph produces
this result by giving continuous and sue
cessive vibrations at regular intervals. This
it does With certain degrees of intensity and
frequency according to the exigencies of the
case under treatment.
In bad cases series OF intensified shocks,
at the rate of one to the second, is produced
against the memDraneous tympanum or
drum. In cases or not over five years
standing the vibrations are given with more
frequency and less intensity. The noises or
thumpS so made are given by means of de-
pressions made with a stylus at regular in
tervals in the wax surface OF the pEono-
graphic cylinders. Thus they may be varied
and they originate in the phonograph itself,
and are not introduced from any exterior
source. Every depression causes the little
transmitting needle in the instrument to
strike the diaphrame connected with the
photograph and to reproduce the snme dis
trnssing noises which a deaf person continu-
ally hears within his brain.

NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT

Public opinion has been stirred up in
Philadelphia on the question of summary
arrests by the police. The exercise of the
raiding practice in rather extraordinary
manner has given good deal of point to
the protests. 1t is doubtless due to this
warm discussion that Judge Gordon, in
giving an opinion on case involving the
power of arrest on view, to state the law
as follows:
The right to arrest citizen by any police
man without a warrant is one which it is
well to define both for the benefit of police
officers and the Commonwealth. A police
man has the right to arrest for an offense
committed in his presence without a war
rant, but he has no right to arrest any citi-
zen without q warrant for an otfense which
he did not see committed.
Judge Gordon's high standing does not
permit us to question the accuracy of his
judicial statement of the law. We can
therefore only say that if this is the law,
it is in dire need of being amended in the
light of practical common sense. The
rule strictly adhered to will defeat Justice
in many cases by the escape of the Grim
inal.
Under THIS RUE an offlcer who is in
formed that robbery or murder has been
committed, and is following hot on the
trail of the criminal, cannot arrest him un-
til he has gone and sworn out warrant,
which will afford time for the criminal to
clear out. By this rule if an officer had
seen Fitzsimmons, and recognized him,
after his escape, he could not have ar
l., Il,
him commit burglary or kill Gilkinson.'
With Judge Gordon S assurance that this
is law, there is an obvious necessity for
its thorough revision to conform to the
needs of modern society.
