the Minneapolis Times last Friday
In this the murderer confessed to the
killing of several people, the burning
of numerous buildings, and much

much of it was in the nature of

PRICES AND THEIR MEANING.

When prices have been the lowest ever known,
both IN this country and In Europe, there Is moth
Ing surprising In a moderate recovery. Cotton
and wheat have been rising from prices never
known until the last year. Iron has risen little,
and yet Is lower than the lowest price ever made
until last year. Oil Is the one erratic commodity
climbing without moderation or fair excuse.
but for years there has been no other than
n purely fictitious market for that article 1t
will not be overlooked that many other COM
moditlcs do not advance In price at ALL and that
cotton, wheat and iron have been exceptionally
depressed. A recovery toward more natural and
customary range Of prices for these articles does
not prove much but 1t does help to Illustrate
the foolIshness Of attributlng the recent extreme
depression to the disuse Of silver or to the state
OF the silver market

RENEWING TIE WAR.

Advices from Eastern Asia are omnous. The
seed sown by Russia Is already bearing fruit.
Formosa or part Of It, Is In open revolt against
occupation by Japan. 1t matters little whether
the Picking Government melted and Is backing
it or not. The Chinese officials there have band
ed themselves together to defy the requirements
Of the Treaty OF SimOnosekl. Instead Of acqui-
cscng in the cesson Of the island to Japan, or
even fighting to the last ditch for the preservatio
Of the union with China, they proclaim their in

ways the first thing for Government TO do.
That is, to vndcate the supremacy OF law and
order. To do that force Is necessary. Hence tho
bombardment Of the insurgents stronghold at
Kelong.
There Is no mystery whatever about either the
author or the object OF this trouble Russia Is
making the effort OF her life" She has two
great purposes before her. One Is to gain more
territory, an always-opcn port, and dominant
strategic position, on the Pacific Coast Of Asia
The other, no less essential is to check the prog
ress and reform started In that part Of the world
by the Japanese To have no such port terribly
handicaps all her naval and commercial opera
tons. To have great, free, civilized nation on
her Eastern borders Is menace to the tyranny
and barbarism that are so dear to her She Is
therefore straining every nerve and bringing
every possible influence to bear to embarrass
Japan and to undo the results of the war.
Corea and the Regents Sword are what she
chiefly covets She Is cndeavoring to negotiate
some sort of lcfthanded treaty with the former,
which shall give her a pretext for armed inter-
vention and occupation. She Is also dangling
brides before the face Of China for the acquisi-
ton OF the latter. But with Japan left free to
guard those regions such games are hazardous.
Therefore diversion is attempted In Formosa.

European Powers kept their meddlesome fingers

new departments important questions await the

JvpORTAyT OFFICES TO BE FILLED.

Several important offices are soon 10 De hll'h
by Mayor Schcrcn. Five new commissioners
for BROOKLYN were provided for 10y acts passed
by the recent Legislature. and In addition 'hcre
ore fifteen members Of the Board Of Education
and two members Of the Board OF Assessors 10
No named. while the Mayor In conjunction win
the Controller and City Auditor must also APP
mint two Police Justices Special interest at
taches TO the new Commissioners. Three OF
these are to be members OF the Commission I'M
der whose direction the new East River bridge
Is TO be constructed Three members are like
wise TO be appointed by Mayor Strong, and these
civ officials together with the Mayors will have
charge Of that important work. The CoIninis-
s,oner. are TO receive salaries Of 900 each. and
one Of them Is TO act as secretary OF the Commis-
sion Governor Morton having signed the Bridge
bill Mr. Schercn has announced his purpose Of
Amounting the Brooklyn members OF the Com
mission at once
The necessity OF care In selecting the members
OF this body on both sides OF the river scarcely
need be pointed out. The people have full conf
dence In Messrs. Strong and Schicrcn. and look
for the appointment Of men whose experience
and standing will justify thoroughly business
administration Of the new bridge undertaking.
AS the Eastern District OF Brooklyn and what
was until the recent annexation the newer part
Of the city will be principally affected by the
projected bridge, II Is fair TO assume that this
consideration will have weight with Mr.. Schcrcn
in determining his choice Of Commissioners. 1t
should not have too much weight. The bridge Is
TO be for the benefit Of Brooklyn as a whole. and
local or nelghborhood interests alone ought not
to govern the choice Of the men TO build It.
The other officials to be appointed In Brooklyn
are Commissioner Of Water Supply and a Com
missioner Of Streets. The act dividing the De.
partment OF City Works, making three depart
ments where one existed. and providing for two
but undoubtedly will be signed, as 1t has the
hearty approval Of the municipal administration
The idea Of dividing the department originated,
we believe with Commissioner Alfred IT, White,
and was the outgrowth Of his experience during
the last year and half. II was not his purpose,
however, to have the division take place during
his term; the bill as sent TO Albany provided
that the reorganization should occur at the begin
ming Of next year, and the first Commissioners OF
Water Supply and Streets were to be appointed
by the Mayor elected this fall In the Legis-
lature a change was made and the act will take
effect on July l. The result Of this change Will
be some confusion that would have been avoided
II the first date had been adhered to. The new
Commissioners will receive salaries Of $1,000
each, and will hold the same relations TO the
