THE UOMEN AND THE SCHOOLS.

Most Of the European countries now admit
women to the courses Of study in the universities
and allow them to take degrees. Russia ana
Austria seem the most hostile to their educational
aspirations but a more liberal sentiment Is DIFF
fusing itself among those communities, and there
IL no doubt that all OF these obstructive interdic-
tons will soon be removed, and women students
in their schools be placed upon the same footing
as men
There is in Russia a medical school for women
closed for some political reason, but soon
to he reopened with the Czarina AS pa'roness
and protector The Russian law permits women
who have obtained their education elsewhere ana

TILE LOSS OF TIE ELBE.

The loss OF the Elbc occurred on stormy
night. when msc,lculations Of distance were
facilitated by darkness and fog The collision
was probably caused by errors of Judgment on
both ships. The fact that the Crathc struck
the Elbc abaft Of the cnginc-room and with
sufficient force TO run well into her denotes that
the officers Of each ship expected to pass with
ont fonling. The Elbc did not slacken her speed
after the Crathc sighted. but ran ahead ut
full pressure. the captain evidently supposing
that the vessels would clear each other. Inc
Crathics officers probably made similar mis-
calculation. striking the Elbe abaft OF the en-
Gincs when they expected 10 60 asiern OF her.
There will be- contradictory statements from The
officers OF both vessels. but the truth may he
fairly inferred from the conditions under which
the collision occurred The lights were seen
from both decks. but human judgment was at
fault: and 1t was dark night. with thick
weather. when 1t was easy for the coolest navi-
gator TO make mistake.
so far as the compartments Of the Elbe are
concerned although he ship sank in twenty
minutes II does not follow that the connecting
| doors We're open. They may not have been
, closed. and 1t will be one Of the chief objects

I'm the excellent report which IL made last
week. the Senate Finance Committee recon-
mcnded that the Office Of State Agent for Dis
charged Convicis be abolished useless. the
Agent receiving salary OF $500 and disburs-
Ing funds TO the amount Of $1,000 per year II
Is somewhat singular, therefore. that yesterday
the Democrat who has held this office was sue
ccedcd by Edward II. Harrigan. Il Republican.
Is the circumstance that a Republican holds TINS
sinccure TO be used as an argument against
abolishing it:
Commissioner Waring has been in Office only
fifteen days. and yet he has his force so well
organized that III case Of severe snowst0rm
he would be able to call out 5000 men nj short
notice and set them at work clearing the streets.
Such thing was never heard Of in New.York
before. II Is no wonder that our citizens are
surprised at what has been accomplished since
the recent snowfall. Yet this might have been
done at any time since the Street Cleaning
Department was organized. IL there had been
