OCEAN GREYIIoUNDS,

The Virginian had something to say
short ime since upon the great danger
which the practice OF ocean steam
ship racing invited. and predicted
that sooner CT later 1t would become ne
ceSsary for the passage of law pro-
hibiting passenger steamships plying
across the ocean from running at Il
greater rate than n speed OF safety. It
recurs to the subject this morning
because of the grounding Of the Ameri-
can liner st. Paul off Long Branch
day or two since while making for New
York.
The passengers aboard the ST. Paul
make the statement that the accident
was due to the fact that the ship was
racing for time with the steamship
Campana, of the Cunard line, and that
the latter barely escaped the same fate
rs the St. Paul. IT Is true that no
lives were lost In the accident, nor was
anyone hurt. but all the same the pub
lie, who do not care fig whether the
Campania or st. Paul is the faster of
the two ships, have begun to ask: Is
Ii not about time that the ocean racing
of passenger ships should be stopped ?
In this day of progress the matter of
time enters very largely in all that
we do. but there should be a limit to
the speeding of these vessels travers-
ing the ocean highway, and the sooner
the limit Is fixed the better.
What the travelling public wants in
this direction Is more security-more
safeguards and greater precautions.
Masters OF ocean steamships who have
coniided TO them the care of hundreds
of human lives should be made to un-
derstand this and to observe a proper
speed OF travel. They should be made
to understand that the practice of rae
Ing for time is perilous, and that the
matter Of shortening their schedule that
they may reach the port of destination
q few minutes or hours before their riv-
ais has already gone too far, and that
they must run the ships at q speed con-
sistent with safety. This they do not
do. There Is no excuse for commanders
OF great steamships who, in order to
save little time, place hundreds OF
lives in Jeopardy and before some great
accident occurs, and lives are lost
through the practice now in vogue, q
check should be put upon them.

MAxIMlLIAN AND wEYLER.

The coming Of General Weyler to Cuba
as the Governor and Captain General Of
that unhappy province is regarded with
horror by the people of the island. many
of whom are abandoning their homes
to seek refuge and safety in this coun-
try.
Those who know him say that the in
surgents may look for no mercy from
him should they fall into his hands, and
that those who sympathize with them
have little less hope of better treat
ment. 1t Is for this reason that many
of those who cannot support Spain in
her rule of Cuba, althogh but passive
spectators of the conflict. are fleeing.
The New York Mail and Express, re-
ferring to the appointment Of Weyler,
says that he Is expected to suppress
the rebellion by indiscriminate slaugh-
ter OF all who are suspected of disloy-
atty. He will treat the insurgents as
outlaws, to be shot down summarily
upon capture. and will grant no quar-
ter to the sympathizers.'
ut Is interesting in this connection"
IL says, TO recall that similar policy
wds lnausurated about thirty years ago
by the French invaders of Mexico. The
usurplnS Emperor Macmillan. issued
