THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY

1t is generally assumed that New
York State man will be appointed to
fill the vacancy on the Supreme court
bench caused by the death of Justice
jackson. The Cleveland Hill quarrel
two years ago, precipitated by Justi ce
Blatchford's death, resulted in the ap-
pointment and confirmation, it will be
remembered, of Senator White of
Louisiana.
While there is little prospect of
renewal of that feud in the attempt to
fill the present vacancy, an exasper-
ating delay may be caused by the fact
that it is not custo mary to app oint Su-
preme court justices when congress is
not in session. Very important cases
come before the Supreme court at the
October term, and congress does not
meet until December. If the court
orodeeds with only eight members to
pass on the constitutionality of the
sugar bounty act, for instance, it is
morally certain to be called upon, as
in the income litigation, to do it's work
over. On the other hand, a prompt
appointment might serve as an invit-
alton to another struggle like that
which followed the Hornblower and
Peckham nominations two years ago.
The lawyer most commonly men
toned for the place is Frederic R.
Coudert of New York. He is a re-
publican, and it is understood that
the president has offered him a posi-
ton on the bench before. He is at
present in Paris and refuses to be in
terviewed on the subject.

ter fishermen, were brought to bear
upon these alien 1awbreakers, we
fancy that some of them could be
brought to Justice.
The arrest of a few foreign ship
masters and the confscation of few
of the foreign-owned vessels which
are masquerading under the Stars
and Stripes would be a salutary warn
ing to our meddling Canadian neigh
bors, and we a not without hope that
something .may be accomplished in
this direction. Our shipping interests
deserve all the protection which the
authority of the National Govern
ment can give them, and the Ameri-
can people are determined that they
shall have it.-Journal.

NO ENTANGLING ALLIANCE.

Our Government may we'll go slow
ly toward accepting Great Britain's
overtures for plan of cooperation
between the naval forces of the two
nations in China for the joint protec-
ton of American citizens and British
subjects American influence cannot
be used as cats paw to pull John
Bulls chestnuts out of the fire for him
and somehow in every such PROPOSE
tion to the United States our people
instinctively suspect a sinister motive.
1t is altogether likely in this instance
that England's ardent desire for the
help of the white hulled American
warships is not entirely disassociated
from a cunning desire to use Ameri-
can prestige to promote her own self
ish pretensions to new commercial
and political advantages in the Orient.
There is undeniably strong pop
ular impression in England that that
country has not gained as much sub
stantial profit as it ought to have done
out of the late disastrous war between
Japan and China. There can be no
question that vague dissatisfaction
with the achievements of British di-
plomacy in this episode was one of
the numerous factors in the defeat of
the Roseberry Government. A tacit
alliance with the United States would
nightly tend to strengthen England's
position in the far East, where both
China and Japan give to no other ma
ton such respect and confidence as
they yield to the great republic.

'sOLD GLORYn AFLOAT.

Great Britain, whose naval experts
have scarcely yet recovered from
their astonishment over the perform
ance of the Columbia, are now called
upon to contemplate another Ameri-
can maritime triumph right off the
white cliffs of their t'tight little isle."
The fact that the ST. Louis's record
breaking run was made in the face OF
Europe, as if it were challenge from
the New World to the Old, gives it a
certain dramatic quality which not
ably enhances it's significance.
President Griscom, of the American
Line, may well say that the achieve
ment of the new ship surpasses his ar
dent expectations, for never has
merchant vessel shown such we'll sus-
tanned speed under similar conditions.
The Paris and New York, the st.
Louis's naturalized sisters, record
makers though the y both are, have
not done much better tina n from 20.15
to 2O.48 knots for continuous steaming.
The White Star flyers Majestic and
Teutonic are credited with 20.10 for
the one and 2O.34 for the other. On
their trial trips the huge Cunarders
Campania and Lucania ran 23.5 knots
or little less, but that was simply
squirt over a measured mile in smooth
water, and of course affords no data
whatever for comparison. The best
average speed of the Lucania for
long distance is 22.01 knots; for the
Campania, 21.5. These vessels are
much larger than the American flyer,
and lead her in nominal horse power
by so per cent. And yet it looks as if
American builders had produced a
vessel which is almost as fast as they,
with lighter machinery and less dis
placement.
The st. Louis's estimated trial speed
of from 22.3 to 22.5 knots falls only
little short of the meteroic records of
22.81 for the Columbia and 23.07 for
the Minneapolis, achieved in four
hour runs over the naval race course
off Cape Ann. In all probability in
sharp chase either of these superb
warships could overtake the ST. Louis,
but the three together could outstrip
any seagoing vessel afioat, except it
be the Campania or Lucania. The
fact is all the more striking because
the St. Louis was not constructed for
extreme speed. Safety and comfort
were the qualities chiefly sought for.
Off all transatlantic passenger liners
the st. Louis undeniably comes near
est to being absolutely unsinkaole,,
and descriptions agree in attributing
to her extraordinary steadiness and
freed ON from vibration.

CAMPOS AND HIS HUNDRED
THOUSAND.

1t is perhaps true, as Gen. Campos
is reported as saying, that Spain can
put a hundred thousand addition al
troops in Cuba, but it is certainly not
likely to do anything of the kind.
1t costs a great deal Of money to
move hundred thousand or even ten
thousand troops from Spain to Cuba
and to keep them in the field as Gen.
Campos is keeping the Spanish troops
already sent.
Spain has no money. 1t has moth
ing but bad debts, worse office hold
ers, and taxpayers, discontented
and poverty stricken because they
are oppressed. This is notoriously
true, and the fact that it is true
is another reason why Spain will
not send a hundred thousand men to
Cuba. Their absence from home
might mean the overthrow of the
Spanish Government itself.
But even if they were already in
Cuba, what would be the gain for
Campos? A hundred thousand con-
scripts subjected to yellow fever and
incompetent leadership could never
win against 10000 patriotic, acclimat-
ed and determined Cubans supplied
with arms and commanded by COM
petent officers.

That there is fraudulent interfer-
ence in the American coasting trade
by Canadian shipowners and seamen
was made abundantly evident by the
article on the subject in the Sunday
Journal. Indeed, the fact is openly
admitted by the Provincial newspa
pers, including the st. John Globe,
whose editorial utterances were di
rectly quoted.
Some of the Boston shipping agents
whom the Journal interviewed denied
that the practice existed, protesting
that they knew of no Canadian own
ed vessels which were sailing under
the American flag in violation af our
Federal statutes. 1t is only fair to
these gentlemen to assume that they
were honestly ignorant of the facts of
the case in question. 1t is not neces-
sary to attribute their unwillingness
to talk upon the subject to fear that
if they committed themselves it

Several ship merchants, including
Mr.. Conant, of the well-known firm

they had no doubt whatever that yes

lawfully engaged in our domestic
commerce, butt they thought that it
would be difficult to prove it. So it
would, but if half of the energy and

It is an onerous task that confronts
Board of Health in it's efforts to bring
about sanitary publication in some of
the tenement- houses of New York.
Compared to it Hercules found child's

With difficult obstacles in the way to
surmount, much good has been ac-
complished. In two weeks nearly one
hundred tenement houses have been
ordered vacated unless the buildings
were put in proper sanitary condition
at once. Avaricious landlords, pro-
crastinate, defer, put off to the last

A NIHILLST ATROCTTY.

The blowing up of the artillery bar
racks at Toula, Russia, by which 800
officers and soldiers were killed, is
ssaid to be the work of nihilists IF SO
it was an Infamous act of useless bar
barity, as injurious to the cause it was
intended to serve, and capable of less
plausible defense, than the assasina-
ton of Alexander IL. The czar had
authorized measures of repression
which caused the death or imprison-
ment of many innocent persons and
sincere patriots, who sought only the
constitutional liberty of their coun-
try But the victims of the Toula ex-
plosion were at the worst but the pas
sive tools in the hand of power, and
their removal would have no more
effect on the domestic policy of the
Russian government than the mur-
derer of the same number of it's work
men would have on the monopolistic
operations of the Standard Oil com
pany. The slaughter of poor soldiers
drawn from the ranks of the peasan-
try and ignorant of everything save
their duty to fight stFor God and the
Czar!' is blunder that is worse than
crime. The sympathies of the AM
erican people freely, extended to all
legitimate efforts for greater freedom
and political development. are re-
PEELED by attempts at wholesale muir
der, in whatever cause they are un-
dertaken.

The time has been when American
builders did prosperous business in
producing warships for foreigners,
and perhaps the new Japanese navy
may be of American construction.
Who knows? At any rate, the Cramps
of Philadelphia, and the SCOTS of San
Francisco are said to be seriously
considering the question of seeking
to secure the Mikado's orders, with a
good prospect of success, if high
Japanese official is to be credited.
He says:
''You are building the swiftest and
most formidable cruisers known. You
have invented armour plate for your
battleships which Russia has chosen
for hers in a competition of all the
makes of armor plate in Europe, Our
Government, seeing these achieve
ments, indicating the fact that Ameri-
ca has twice revolutionized the navies
of the world by her infinite capacity
for invention, first in creating the
ironclad and then the turret,is strong
" disposed to draw on American
shipyards for part of it's new navy"
The Japanese would soon find that
the Americans are building not only
the best men of-war, but the best
merchant vessels. Great Britain,
which has hitherto pretty completely
monopolized this kind of business for
the Orient, may we'll view the situa-
uation with genuine alarm.

challenger for the Americas Cup, and
incidentally for the handsome cup
offered by John Jacob Astor, COM
paratively is insignificant and one
easily to be repaired. But it would
have been of serious moment if the
Defender had been sailing against the
third Valkyrie. 1t would have meant
the loss of one race in the interna-
tional series. That her masthead was
sprung in a stiff breeze is sign of
weakness luckily detected in test
race. Sometimes heavy winds blow
off Sandy Hook in autumn. Whatever
tender points the new yacht may
have would better be discovered now
than when it is too late to remedy
them.
The Defender has not been without
misadventure from the time of her
delayed launching nntil now. With a
new mast, which it is said will be pro-
vided for her, and with other imper-
fections removed, there can be no
cause to question that she will prove
herself worthy successor to a series
