Ine terrors of rapid transit in large cities
are not confined to the dangers resulting
iiom the swift movement of cars through
crowded thorouShfares. as the accident
that happened in the west end of the city
last evening when the repair wagon of the
Capital Traction Company collided with a
buggy amply testifies. There is no need for
these disasters. The repair wagon is TODAY
more Of menace in the streets than the
fire engine or police patrol were ever con-
s!dered. There is not the same necessity
for rapid driving in the case of the repair
wagon as with the other swiftly-movins
vehicles mentioned. 1t is rot a matter of
HE and death on which the ''hurry-up' af-
fair is sent. 1t Is. to be sure, a nuisance
to have the cars of great transportation
company delayed by a trivial accident that
Can be remedied in few moments. but
doubtless the public would vote for little
longer waiting for cars if it came to an
issue between that alternative and the dam
ger of being pounded to death by reck-
lessly driven heavy wagon that is sent
'scrrrying through the crowded streets with
apparently no regard for the rights of
pedestrians or other vehicles If the street
railroad companies would only show as
much enterprise and hurry in placing their
hose bridges on the occasion of fire which
lcckades their tracks as they do when
the cable is slipped from trolley, or some
ether accident occurs that threatens to
block the road for five or ten minutes. the
public would be immensely gratified. The
eS tablishment of three or four wagons in
place of Jne, with as many gangs of re-
pairers, would greatly lessen the alleged
necessity for such reckless rates of speed
as are now the rule.

The worlds stock of ioyousness has just
received a notable addition in the form of
Lord Sackville's recollections of mis- mission
to the United States as a minister OF the
queen from 1881 to 1889. 1t is pity that
this interesting volume, rejecting so much
light on the history of an entertaining
period is intended only for private circula-
ton among such of Lord Sackville's friends
as he evidently deems worthy of enlighten-
ment According to this tale Lord Sackvile
was veritable storm center during the en-
tire period of his service in the United States
and it would seem from the extracts from
the pamphlet that have been sent abroad
from London by some Of the unfeeling but
enterplising correspondents that the entire
body polite of the United States had con-
spired against her majesty's representative
with series of personal insults and af-
fronts eliminating in the ludicrous incident
which eventually terminated his career in
these quarters. Lord Sackville adds to the
pathos of his recollections of the Murchison
letter affair by quoting in full letter which
he received during the excitement caused by
that episode from the manager of New
York dime museum offering him $1,000
week If he would hold two levees daily in
his 'palatial' establishment. If there is one
thing above all others for which Lord Sack
Vile is apt to be criticised by the American
public it is this confession of neglect of an
opportunity which most people would con-
slider as exceedingly tempting. The PAM
phlet is evidently intended as an apology for
the somewhat undignified retirement Of Lord
Sackvile from the American horizon and
the revelations contained in it are decidedly
sensational. He declares that his life was IN
danger on more than one occasion owing to
the antagonism of the Irish element in
America, and he mentions trip to the Sc
ciusion of the James river on the Presidents
yacht which he says was taken for the ex-
press purpose of preventing an assault upon
his iordly person. 1t is evident that the
volume is peevish plea for sympathy ut
tered by man who was scarcely a COM
peteht representative from one great gov
ernment to another, and who did not possess
the tact to refrain from interested deal
ings in the politics of the land to which he
was accredited. He makes charges against
our ambassador to England, Mr. Bayard.
that II true might shake that excellent
statesmans prestige abroad, but that will
scarcely be believed by the thinking people
elther IN Europe or America. as they are too
evidently based upon spite and recollection
OF MIR. Bayard's part in the undoubtedly
wholesome expulsion of this meddling min
lster from the United States.

The coming of Mrs. U. S. Grant to Wash
ington as permanent resident and prop
erty owner is not surprising. With Wash
ington the name of her husband is insep-
arably linked. Here must center all of her
best and dearest memories, and here she
will unquestionably find that peace and
comfort that her declining years demand.
Here too. she will find an ever growing
circle Of friends, who, like herself, are be-
ing attracted season by season to the Ma
tional Capital as the best city in America
as a place Of residence This influx CT
notable people is quite natural under the
circumstances. Mrs. Grant is not. a
stranger here, and does not need to be as
sured of a hearty welcome on her return.

A SDent Gale.

The free-slver agitation seems to be
dwindling to a spent force. On all sides
can now be seen evidence of popular sem
timent based on sound sense and pledged
to sound money. The cry for more
money" that resounded throughout the
early spring and summer is now a mere
whisper and well-founded reasoning is on
exhibition where but little while ago
stood the specter of financial folly. The
practical politician finds it difficult to un-
derstand why the white-metal boomers
went to work so vigorously when there
could not possibly be any return for sew
eral months. but the chances are that the
s!lverite activity came naturally; was the
unthinking reaction consequent upon the
financial depression which for quite a
lengthy period had paralyzed the manu-
featuring and commercial energies of the

Baseball and Cricket.
From the New York Tribune.

-NCW 1Ufh
Reports come from abroad that the Eng
Gshmen are showing more interest in base
ball than they have been showing in pre-
vious years. They build wonderfully fast
steamships in Great Britain, they run some
extremely fast trains. and they display no
small degree of agility in various lines of
effort If they pay less attention to cricket
and more to base ball they will become
genuinely and generally enthusiastic over
the quickest, sharpest, keenest, lveliest
form of competition with bali and bat that
the world has ever seen. Cricket matches
as a rule, last too long and take too many
hours to suit eager, impatient, restless, i'm

Three Companies Elect Captains and
Lieutenants and Celebrate.
Three companies of the Third Regiment
elected officers and then celebrated the re-
suits in company and general gatherings,
during which the eloouence of Colonel
Barry and others helped make the outcome
seem just right.
Com pany G was called upon to elect a
successor to Captain Sam Ruddel1, who
has been with the regiment since the time
of the Kearney riots, seventeen years ago,
and who has been commissioned officer
for ten years. Recently at meeting of
the company he was asked to retain the
command, but he was determined to go on
the retired list after his long, honorable
and popular career in the active service.
The result was that Company @ elected
Rife Inspector A. l.. OFT captain. 1t also
decided that Second Lieutenant Arthur
Barlow should be first lieutenant and
that Sergeant Frank Christmas should be
second lieutenant.
Company D elected First Lieutenant Ed
ward Fitzpatrick to be captain, vice w. D..
Sullivan, resigned, and it promoted Second
Lieutenant Frank Ralph to the vacancy
one step ahead.
Company e unanimously elected First
Lieutenant Frank Fontaine as captain,
vice Captain Meagher, term expired. Jo-
seph Melotte became first lieutenant. In
the vote for second ieutenants Edward
Casey and First Sergeant Edward Mathe-
son received a tie vote, and Casey declined
in favor of Matheson.

DR.. Alfred Sander, Gustav Howard and
Mrs. Deorena Howard of Alameda
were arrested by Sergeant Hodgkins last
night on warrants charging them with
grand larceny. The complaining witness
is George L. Randolph, foreman of the
Oakland Iron Works, who states that the
three persons arrested brought him some
engine machinery some time ago to be re-
paired. Later they took away the prop
erty without his permission and without
paying the charges thereon.
Sander at the station told tale about
the machinery being part OF a new lnven-
ton which Randolph was trying to steal,
and Chief of Police Schaeffer, on that rep
resentaticn announced that the grand lar
ceny charge was made for the purpose of
blackmail and released Sander on his own
recognizance. The bail of the other two
was reduced to 500 each.
