affairs as they look on the surface. Rates
are cut on few conspicuous lines of freight
and it looks. from the standpoint of the
past, as though ruin was staring the carriers
in the face. But the traffic in the articles
on which the rates are cut forms but small
portion Of the whole business of the car
riers Their local business is untouched.
and on a variety of articles the freight rates
are unchanged. The war often operates as
a wholesome education for railroad men in
the science of operating their roads at
minimum expense. Time was, in this
State, when ten cents mile was supposed
to be the very lowest figure at which pas
senger could be carried on railroad. A
quarter of that sum is now found to be re-
munerative Oh the older lines Of road. 1t
would perhaps be crediting carriers with
too much virtue TO expect them to reduce
rates voluntarily. They rarely do so until
they are coerced by competition. But
when they are coereed they not unfre-
quently find that ths coercion operates
benefcially by compelling them TO adopt a
policy which enlarges their business.

THE ECLIPSE.

On Sunday the sun undergoes a total
eclipse. visible in regions south of the
equator, but not in the United States or
Europe. 1t is an event for which the
astronomers of all countries have made
careful preparations, and should the atmos-
pheric conditions be favorable, important
results are expected from the observations.
The period of totality is short of the theo-
retical maximum, but it is over four
minutes, and is above the average duration.
An important advantage accrues also from
the line of totally extending from
COQuimbo, on the west coast OF South
America. to Clara, on the northeast coast,
then across the South Atlantic to the west
coast of Africa at Cape de Verde, and end
ing near Lake Chad. AS there are numbers
of stations along this line, some in Chile,
others in Brazil and in Africa. the observ-
ers have collectively soma hours in stead of
a few minutes, for notes on the phenomena,
and the photographers and spectroscopsts
should have abundant material for CON-
pariSon, and speculation on the physical
constitution of our great luminary. 1t is
anticipated that suudry conjectures about
the corOna-that mysterious halo extension,
presumably of mysterious gases. half mil
lion miles beyond the hotospheTe-may be
approximately settled by the physicists;
and we shall, doubtless, know little more
about the red protuberances which shoot up
weirdly to tremendous height. There is,
however, less concern about the chromos-
phere, inasmuch as mechanism has been
devised by which team be photographed at
any time.
Astronomy is to-day far less science in
which the telescope is the principal aid than
one in which all the physical sciences have
share. The chemist ana the savant who
devote themselves TO the physics of matter
in all its phases and effects now 90 hand in
hand in the study of our solar group and in
probing the wonders and secrets OF the star
depths. In the sure advances Of what is
not hypothesis and guesswork. but knowl-
edge with a firm foundation, we have made
greater advances in this century alone than
10 all the centuries of the past The ply
sical astronomer, from study of the
forces of gases, is able TO explain how the
moon may have lost its atmosphere. He is
able to give vast motion 10 worlds appa-
rently so fixed in the armament that rela-
lively they are without visible variation.
Light gives him the clew to history, consli-
tuition, birth and decrepitude. The fears
that used to throw communities into panic
on the appearance of a comet or eclipse are
now diSspated by rational explanation and
understanding of the phenomena revealed
in the universe. But with all the accessions
TO our knowledge the vista of profundlty
but expands before the questioning gaze.
We seem TO be always on the threshold of
the unknowable and the ilimitable, and
just as much baffled by the inserutable in
an atom as in dome of stellar worlds.

THE BERINd SEA ARBITRATION.

There has been rs yet 10 intimation that
James c. Carter will be recalled from his
post as counsel for the American arbiters in
the Bering Sea case, but If Mr.. Carter has
been so imprudent as to make some points
for the United States no one can tell what
may happen. To what extent this success
will be considered by the Cleveland admin
istration as uniting him to conduct the case
cannot at present be determined. The first
argument by Mr.. Carter which attracted
rublic attention showed up a little sharp
practice on the part of the British counsel.
After an agreed case had been made out, to
which both parties had had the opportunity
of reply. a supplemental report was sub
mitted which traversed many Of the facts
upon which the American case was based
To this report the American side had had
no opportunity to reply. Yet the British
counsel wanted 10 present it on the same
standing as other reports which had with
stood hostile examination. The supple
mental report was very properly ruled out
In the argument on the motion to exclude.
the leading British counsel, Sir Charles
Russell, was badly worsted. 1t was per-
haps indiscreet in Mr.. Carter to assure the
court that he could not believe that the
British counsel would knowingly take an
uuldll dufhuldptt dAttI oHOWius I0ht IDey
had been caught in the act, but it was eff
fective. The last reported argument of Mr..
Carter, in which he said that The American
Government did not want decision that
was not founded on principles Of justice and
that he was convinced that Great Britain
shared these views. places the case upon the
highest possible grOund-the ground that
an arbitration case should occupy. Public
confidence in the usefulness of arbitration
boards as a means of settling International
difficulties will be greatly strengthened by
a decision from the Bering Sea Board
free from Partially. No great nation can
afford TO accept favorable decision that
will not bear the closest scrutiny.

REACHING OUT.

The Traffic Association is not letting
grass grow under its feet. No sooner does
it establish one competing transportation
line than 1t proposes another. Always.
keeping the rivers in view ns the main
channels of communication, It's second pur-
pose is to establish lines of railroad from
points on the rivers to interior centers OF
population. The especial proposition now
Is to construct anarrow-gauge railroad from
Stockton to Bakersfield. Taking Stockton as
the head Of tidewater navigation. the pro-
posed railroad will open the whole vast valley
Of the San Joaquin 70 the benefits Of cheap
river transportation. The business men
Of the San Joaquin are asked to help build
the road. The ownership will therefore
remain in the hands Of men who are more
directly interested in main tanning low rates
OF transportation than in getting large diyi-
dends on their investment. 1t will not be
TO their interest to form combinations with
other railroad companies. What the mer-
chants of this city and the producers of the
San Joaquin Valley want is the cheapest
possible movement Of goods from one local
iiy to another. With this Stockton and
San Joaquin trunk line electric feeders
would be constructed TO all the hooks and
corners of the valley. There would no
longer be complaint that all the profits of
production were absorbed in getting prod
nee to markpt

NEED OF A SURVEY.

Congressmen Mcguire and Caminetti are
doing good work in urging that the harbor
OF San Francisco should be surveyed afresh.
They have pointed ont to Professor Men
denhall. who Is superintendent OF the Coast
and Geodetlc Survey, that the present chart
is from surveys made over forty years ago
and is so unreliable that 20 per cent Of the
master mariners consider it practically worth
less. This IS, perhaps, only a round way Of
stating that it has many defects, which un-
doubtedly is the fact. During nearly half
q century many changes have occurred
in san Francisco waters through preciplta-
tion Of sediment from rivers and through
dredging, pile-driving and seawall build
ing, aud 1t is poor parsimony to leave the
charming Of harbor which is the greatest
on The Pacific Coast in any degree unrelia-
BILE. An appeal should be made to Congress
on this matter as well as with regard to the
removal of VARIOUS sunken rocks which are
considered danger to navigation. These
