Today the people OF at least two conti-
rents mourn the sinking of the steamship
Elbe and the drowning of more than tfree
hundred and fifty men and women. To-
morrow the sympathizing millions will de-
mand that responsibility for the disas-
ter be fixed. That the great ship was
struck in vital part is already evident.
but Ii seems to those who are acquainted
with the construction of modern steam
ships that some one MIST have failed 10
perform an essential duty. or the vessel
could hardly have gone down within
twenty minutes from the time Of being
struck 1t has been claimed for many
years by ocean-steamship companies that
two. or even three of vessels compart-
nents might be pierced without sinking
the ship. If that claim is really good,
then it must be admitted that the COM
partment doors of the Elbe We're not closed
and that the lives of passengers and crew
were sacrificed because a simple precautiop
was neglected at the very time when all
possible care should have been exercised.
Surro sing. however, that such of the doors
as could be closed were shut and that even
then the E,lbe could not remain atloat for
many than twenty minutes, the question
will be asked why was il that only three
boats were launched in that time-some of
the survivors declare that only two were
lowered OF course, allowances VIII
have to be made fer the fact that the
awful occurrence took place in the early
morning when all the passengers and a
considerable proportion of the crew were
below and asleep, but there will be difn-
Guilty ir explaining the lack of discipline
that evidently prevailed. When drilling for
just such an emergency as that which con-
fronted the officers and crew of the Elbe
yesterday morning. all of such ships
boats are generally lowered away in very
much less than half the time that was at
the disposal of the seamen on the Elbe yes
terday, yet when the great necessity came
there was much of confusion, so much
of seiishness, so much of incapacity, that
but two boats got clear OF the SINKING
wreck. and these were occupied almost ex-
clusively by sailors. Great blame also at
tao hes to the captain of the Crathie-the
apparent cause of the collision-for al
though he must have known how extensive
was the injury inflicted by his craft, he
steamed for the most convenient port With
the hundreds who were aroused from slum-
Der to meet death in the icy waters of the
North Sea. The reports received indicate
that the Crathie vas only slightly dam
aged-a condition which, if it was so, must
have been known to the Crathie's captain
within a few minutes after the collision.
At present the accusation of inhumanity is
not improperly aimed at the very Gncon-
mon variety of sailor who fails to render
assistance to distressed fellow-beings on
the high seas. All the available facts will
doubtless be developed in little while by
an official inquiry. and II is, of course, pes
sible that then those in authority on both
the Elbe and the Crathie may be relieved
wholly or partially of the odium that now
attaches to them.

to have his revenge; he has recourse
against the person who does the obstruct-
ing: conviction of wiIful obstruction brings
with IL fine of $40. There Is really moth
ing unreasonable in this bill; it merely
renders improbable the dscomforts that in
other cities-for Washington is not now a
sinner in the matter of theater-hats-have
afflicted and continue to afflict a very
large proportion of every audience. Not so
long ago 1t was commonly difficult to see
a stage in this city. and almost impossible
to enjoy even the most enjoyable sort of a
performance because enormous hats inter-
vened. A crusade was started in the
columns of this paper and in a little while
for there are no more sensible women in
the world than the women of Washington
the nuisance was practically abolished.
Occasionally country cousin wanders in
with headgear that towers obstructively
ceilingward but such occurrences are rare.
and the country cousin. discovering the
impropriety of her decoration, either takes
1t off entirely or makes an unbreakable
vow to buy a small bonnet before she next
goes to the play. 1t Is well enough for
New York to legislate against the theater-
hat; in Washington We achieve by moral
suasion all the results possible to law.

Perhaps there Is good foundation for the
reports of Chinese military and naval sue
cess that have of late been coming TO us
through Chinese channels-it is by no
means unreasonable to imagine that at
some time or other the Chinese forces Will
score victory or two-but the weight or
presumption is in favor of ultimate Japan
ese success. The Japanese armies are d.
rected skillfully and in accordance with a
carefully planned line of campaigning; the
Chinese troops are found in smaller bodies
and are commanded by officers who know
little or nothing of the operations of forces
that should be working in harmony with
every other body of Chinese fighting men
row in the field. Under these conditions. 1t
is to be expected that oEce in awhile
formidably large and well-off1cered body
of Chinese will get the better of a numer-
icslIy inferior force of opponents. But In
view of what is known of Japanese pa
tr;otism and fighting efficiency there Is no
reason for believing that China will be
more successful generally than she has
been during the past few months. In fact.
the only hope to which tine Chinese can
anchor for the purpose of making reasona-
bly-stubborn defense lies in the employ
ment by tho Chinese government of
large numpCr Oh European OhiteiS. II AdS
been demonstrated quite satisfactorily
Chinese" Gordon and the American Ward
developed the fact-that when officered by
Caucasians Chinese soldiers will fight
bravely They will have need for all the
skill and courage they can muster when
the japanese commence active operations
looking to the capture of Wei-Hai-Wei, for
that fortress is essential to Japanese con-
troll of the Gulf of Pechili. With that In
their hands. the war would speedily be at
an end for China could offer no obstruction
to Japanese battleships or troopships to the
nouth of the Pei Ho river. Thirty-five
years lgo five thousand English and
French fighting men defied the forts of
Taku and achieved easy victory inland.
With Wei-Hai-We Ell in the possession Of the
japanese, the last serious obstacle in the
march to Pekin will be removed.

in the report made by the inspector of
buildings, Mr.. John b. Brady. Several
District officials announce themselves un-
able. without extraordinary and unreason-
able exertion, to keep their work UP to
date with their present clerical force, but
no other one of them has so much to prop
erly complain of as has Inspector Brady.
To make clear the actual conditions, MIR.
Brady compares the inspection force in
this city and in other great cities-notably,
New York: there the area is less than two
thirds that of the District. the number of
buildings is not three times as great, while
the population Is less than five times ours;
yet there are eighty-three field inspectors;
here there are two. The report states
that the range of these two ASSISTANTS ex-
tends over 69.22 square miles of territory.
During the last fiscal year. in addition to
this general territory, there was for their
particular and personal inspection much
more work than could have properly been
done by a dozen continually active men; in
all there were 2,961 cases. Two additional
inspectors have been provided for in the
appropriation bill. but even with them at
work much building will have to so unin-

Governor OFerrall Is quoted as profferinS

of clearing out the gambling deps and other

many people who are interested in the

understand why the governor is so ready to
use the force that should be called into
service except in the most extreme emerg-
ency when the civil authorities could, If
they would. do all that is necessary in the
way of reform. For several months past
Governor OFerrall must have been aware
