a cause OF pride TO the city. We offer It
welcome. We suggest to the Federal. State.
and municipal authorities that there are
duties OF hospitality imposed upon them
| at this time. tho performance OF which has
not been provided for, and may not even
have been thought Of. We are sure that we
need but speak the word in tho hearing OF
Secretary HERBERT, Governor FLOWER. and
Mayor GILRoY.
/ Admiral KAzNAKoFF has rendered every
possible honor to tho United States. and
has given the most signal proofs OF friend
ship thereto. since he entered this
port on Monday. paying the graceful
compliment OF a morning salute of twenty
one guns. He celebrated the glorious
Fourth aboard ship rs though hc were a

ebration of the Fourth; and we cannot say
TINT the day was more worthily celebrated
aboard any ship Of our own navy than it was
aboard the Russian ship of the Baltic squad
ron. II there was u lack anywhere. it lay
in the absence OF those spread-eage
speeches without which no American cele-
bration Is ever regarded as complete.
This Is not the only occasion upon which
the Russians have recently shown their
friendship toward tho Americans. We
have not forgotten their manifestations
during the naval review and in the
shore parade. We cannot forget how,
on the 2lst Of May last. twenty Of the
officers OF the three Russian cruisers then
here marched in full uniform to the burial
place Of Admiral FARnAGUT in Woodlawn
Cemetery. and placed wreaths of flowers
upon tho hcro's grave. Nay. never shall
we forget these manifestations Of Russian
good will and fraternity.
Shall we not. therefore, now that the op-

II so, it were time that those whose Of
fetal duty it is to take direction Of all
public ceremonials should begin to think
of preparing therefor.
1t Is a remarkable fact that the best |
friends. or. rather the only real friends, Of |
Russia among the great powers OF the |
world. are the French republic and the |
United States.

Even IL Wednesdays peculiar happening

the affair reveals the need OF Immediately
establishing a special, independent. and
continuously available limo Of communica-
ton direct to the power houses from every
spot along the railway.
A new power has been put into operation
on Broadway capable OF sweeping the enor-
nous trafic of tho face OF tho street like
chaff. Even IL that ancient symbol of hide
ous irresistibility, the car OF JUaaERNAUT,
were to go up the middle OF Broadway, 1t
would be upset and brushed aside. and the
great god sent flying ondwise. by the first
cable car that met 1t. A cable car would cut
q swathe through stampede OF buffaloes.
Truly Providence must have smiled upon us

the most crowded street OF New York with

where the mischief begins, through the
wearisome and freaky combinations OF the
ordinary telephone. The cable road must
have Its own wires and boxes. like police
and fire boxes. at every few corners. or more
closely, SO that when any accident makes
car uncomfortable from It's own platform,
It can be brought to a standstill by instan-
taneous stoppage OF the main machinery.
a No other system will put adequate safe
guards around the usually delightful but
ever risky operation Of the cable road The
wires should be ready tomorrow.

Doubts as to the Hon. Mr.. Springer.

Is the Hon. WILLIAM NJ. SPRINGER Of
Illinois the proper man to be the Chairman
OF the Ways and Means Committee Of q
House OF Representatives elected to put an
end to protection. and to tear from the
statute books every trace Of that unconsti-
futional method Of taxationp
We have seen various, articles. letters.
and addresses which have flowed from Mr.
SpRHdER's fluent pen and larynx since last
November. and we are sorry to say that In
mono Of them does Mr.. SPRINGER show q full
knowledge Of tho Democratic position in
regard to the tariff. or any intention of
making good the Democratic promises in
regard to establishing q constitutional
system Of taxation. Ho prattles about tho
free list. and SO on, In a way which Is dis
heaftening to anybody who wants the DEM
ocratic party to be square and fair. and
which is discreditable to any nun able to
read the Democratic platform.
I The Hon. WILLIAM NJ. SPRINGER has GOV.
orod acres with his speeches and dlsserta-
tions upon tariff for revenue only Prob
ably census would show that the number
OF words emitted by him on this subject is
not much less than the number OF inhabi-
tants OF the earth; and yet tho sad convic-
ton steals over US that in oil these words
the Hon. WILLIAM NJ. SPRINGER didn't
know what he was talking about.
Judging by recent utteranccs. Mr..
SPRINGER doesn't know what tariff for
revenue only Is. In the Chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee Of the Fifty
third Congress such want OF knowledge
would DO grotesque.

Russia In New York.

To tho Admiral in command OF the Rus
sian fleet now lying over against the city
we present our compliments.
Russia looms up proudly. more SO than
ever. in the North River at this time.
There lies tho grent bolted cruiser,
the Admiral Naohimoff. which entered
our port on Monday to meet the

| Joined in a few days by the Pamjat Azova
and the Nicholas 1. These six splendid
war ships represent the Baltic fleet and
the Black Sea fleet of the Northern Empire;
and. when together. as they very soon are
to be. they will constitute the most power
full aggregation OF modern naval vessels
that any foreign nation ever had here, more
powerful. perhaps. than all the foreign war
ships that were here at the time OF the
naval review in May. They are to lie or
the city through the month of July. dur
ing which visitors will DO welcomed aboard
OF them, as their Admiral. officers. and
crews will DO welcomed ashore.
Russia had designed to make far more
impressive display of her naval power
here than she was able to make dur
ing the May review: and she would
have outshone any OF the other for
eign countries which took part in that
review II the vessels OF the Bal
tic fleet had not been prevented
by the Ice from joining those Of the
Black Sea fleet that were sent here.
AS 1t was, England stood foremost for a
month among the European powers In the
Hudson; and we had occasion then to know
that Russia was observant OF this fact. and
was not overpleased with the prominence
that was given to 1t.
Russia is DESTROYS that tho United States
shall be made aware Of her naval resources;
she Is especially DESTROYS OF cultivating the
good will OF our country. She Is UNI
willing thnt any OF her rivals shall take
precedence over her In any naval con-
course; she Is unwilling that the command
ers and other officers OF any European
navy should enjoy measure OF pop
ularity In America beyond that accorded
to those OF her own imperial navy. We
have reason to believe that the Gear was
made aware of the surprising ,eminence OF
Sir JOHN HOPKINS and the British war ship
the Blake. during the review.
But here. this month. we are to see

specimen OF modern naval architecture.

squadron us long as 1t may be directed to |

Tho Treaty is Not Much in the Way.

The existence Of treaty between Great
Britain and France. binding both nations
to respect the sovereignty OF Hawaii, is
sometimes referred to by anti-annexation-
| lists as guarantee TINT England. at least.
| will never take the islands.
The treaty in question will DO just fifty
years old next November. Itowes its origin
to tho state OF affairs half century ago.
| when France had seized Tahiti, and Eng
land was watching with jealous interest her
rivals cncroachments in the Society Islands
aud elsewhere In the Pacific. On Nov. %.
1913, this convention was signed ut London
by NJ. STE. AuLAIRE. LOUIS PHILIPPEs'A Am
bassador. and Lord ABERDEEN. British Sec
rotary Of State for Foreign Affairs:
"Hcr Majesty the Queen of tho United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and Ireland and his Majesty the King of
tho French taking into tho existence in
tho Sandwich Islands OF a Government capable OF
providing for tho regularity OF its relations with foreign
nations have thought It right engage ally to
consider the Sandwich Islands as independent
State and never to take possession either directly
under the form OF aprotectorae. under any other
FORM Of part OF the territory of which they arc
composed.
The undersigned, her Britannia Mnjestys principal
Secretary Of State for Foreign Affairs Ambas.
sador Extraordinary Of his Majesty the King of the
French. being furnished with tho necessary powers
hereby declare in consequence that their said Maees
take reciprocaily that engagement"
This ancient engagement is good as against
Frances protest but as against the protest
Of the United States. or even of a republi-
can Government in Hawaii itself, it amounts
to nothing whatever. The agreement was
reciprocal. and concerned France and Eng
land alone. 1t was predicated upon the ex-
istence OF Government in the Sandwich
Islands capable Of providing for the regu-
larity Of it's foreign relations. II England,
with her customary skill In making use of
changed conditions as an excuse for evading
inconvenient obligations. were to assume
that Hawaii was no longer able to stand
alone. but needed protector. there would
not DO the slightest obstacle in the way Of
her becoming that protector. upon Hawaii's
invitation. providing she first obtained the
assent Of the French Government.
France cares nothing now about the Ha-
waiiun Islands; but there are q hundred
other points where her interests touch
England's. and where ono concession or an
other. comparatively unimportant to Great
Britain, would be welcomed by her as an
equivalent for her cheerful assent to the
abrogation Of the ABERDEEN-STE. AULAIRE
agreement Of fifty years ago.
