Hope that something may yet be done to
save the Pribylov seal herd Is revived by
the Presidents selection of Mr.. JOHN w.
FOSTER and Mr.. c. S. HAMLIN as Commits.
sioners to deal with Great Britain in this
matter.
Both gentlemen are exceptionally well
informed and thorough supporters of the
American view of seal protection. But will
they be successful in securing the desired
mOdus piuendi for the suspension of seal
killing in Behring Sea this yeari The
close season begins on May l, and lasts
three months, which should be interim
long enough for an agreement M for notice
of it to sealing vessels. Yet we recall that
in the House of Commons, a few days ago,
Mr.. CuRZoN, replying to u question on the
fur seal fisheries, said that some modifica-
ton of the exiting regulations might be
desirable" but that the year 1898 was the
period fixed by the Paris arbitration tribu-
nal for considering the subject.
More than two years ago, on Jan. %,
1895, Mr.. GRESHAM notified Sir JULIAN
P~AUNcEFoTE of the "decp feeling of solici.
tude" aroused in this country regarding
the future of the Pribylov seal herd. He
said that the number of skins landed In
1904 on the United States and British Co.
lumbia coasts was 12l ,l43, and that 1.-THE
total pclagic catch amounts to about 1872.
600, a result unprecedented in the history
of pelagic scaling" In Behring Sea alone
there had been killed 81 $50 seals, or over
5000 more han in 1891, the last year when
the sea was open, and with no Paris ~restric-
tions then prevailing. Obviously, then, the
Paris rules had failed to afford the protec-
ton they were designed to afford, and sun
less a speedy change in the regulations be
brought about, determination of the herd
must follow" Mr.. GRESHAM urged the ap.
polntment of a commission to examine the
question, Russia and Japan joining In, and
meanwhile asked that scaling in Behring
Sea should be prohibited, and the North
Pacific restrictions extended along the
thirty-ffth parallel to the Asiatic shore.
Although our State Department begged
to suggest the necessity of speedy action 4"
OF it's proposition, as the sealing season of
1895 was about to begin, yet no answer was
made until four months later. when, on May

National Review, e. we'll as a great ma
jority Of high.minded American citizens,
feel that the Government Of the United
States is mourning as heavy q load Of re-
sponslbility as Is collective Europe. At
any rate, 10 Is submitted by the editor Of
this English periodical, who, 1t should be
remembered, is a friend Of the United
States, that, until an Ineligible defence
of our Governments Cuban policy has been
put forward, there should be an abatement
Of the harsh attacks upon the European
Governments for their course In relation to
Armenia and Crete. So long as people live
In glass houses thoy should refrain from
throwing stones. We are also warned, and
this is q warning which may be needed
when appeals in the name of humanity are
disregarded, that the Mckinley Admins
tration may not be allowed to prolong a
dog.in.the.manger policy for IN indefinite
period. The ReVieto points out that West
ern Europe, particularly France, has a very
distinct interest In keeping Spain from the
perdition now yawning In front of her, and
It Is quite on the cards that the French re-
public may politely, but firmly, Insist upon
concerning herself with Cuba on account of
the great sums invested by her citizens In
the securities of Cuba's stepmother.

New YOrk's Social Evolution.

The dissolution of the Patriarchs' Asso-
citation, which was announced yesterday
morning, is a distinct step forward in the
evolution of New York society. Subscrip-
ton balls, given in public hired bathrooms,
passed away in London half a century ago,
and the assemblies at Almack's Rooms,
tickets to which were once struggled for as
certificates Of good social position, have
become a matter of history. So, New York
is passing from the village to the metropoli-
tan stage of its existence. and private
dances are s%upplanting those at belmont
cos, the Waldorf, and Sherry's.
The reason is that within ten years so
many wealthy men have attached spacious
bathrooms to their residences that women
Of fashion are no longer dependent. as they
used to be, upon subscription entertain
ments for opportunities to display their
charms and their adornments. Among
these private bathrooms are those of the two
VANpERBILTs, Mr.. GERRY, Mr.. HEBER
BISHOP, Mr.. OGDEN MILLS, Mrs. AsToR,
Mr.. OELRICHs, Mr.. WHITNEY, and Mr..
HENRY SLOANE. To them others will
doubtless be added, and thus the abandon.
ment of public balls by the world of fash
ion will eventually become complete.

engineers Of the Mississippi River Commits
sion are agreed upon the details of the best
treatment for our unruly river. Expert opin.
ion, both in the commission and outside of
1t, is, however, practically unanimous in
favor Of the general features Of h plan
now pursued by the commission. This is,
first, to protect the banks 80 hat they will
not be undermined by the eroslvo power Of
the current and, secondly, to rebuild the
levees that were badly constructed, extend
the system, and raise all levees to the height
that is deemed sufficient, which Is five feet
above the highest recorded floods.
1t is true that there are some eminent en-
gineers who have no faith In the levee sys-
TEN, but they are not among those who have
had to deal practically with the Mississippi
problem. Mr.. STARTLING, Chief Engineer OF
the Mississippi lcvcc district, wrote in 1917
that experience had proved that levees
could be made secure against disaster, ana
that the accidents in the past were simply
the result of the insutiiciency of money to
complete, perfect, and maintain the long
line of levecs required. The alluvial areas
bordering the lower river would be simply
u~ninhabitable were it not for the protection
afforded by an imperfect and incomplete
system of levees. 1t Is we'll that the gen.
eral Government Is dealing with this great
national concern, for 1t is too vasJ to be con-
sistently and adequately handled by States
or smaller communities.

ing to pass material pressure on the part OF
the powers, In which, 1t is to be presumed,
Russia would act as mandatory. The Sui.
tan would still continue TO rule at Constan-
tinople and the integrity Of the ottoman
empire would be preserved, but the sub.
stantial elements Of power would be vested
In the agents Of the federated powers.
It is because the Sultan has this per-
spective before him that he Is SO little anx-
ious to SEQ n conflict begin OF the Greek
frontier. It 10 also because the ultimate
consequence Of 1t to Greece and the Hell
lenic cause are so we'll understood by the
responsible men at Athens that there Is no
probability Of the first move across the
frontier being made by the Greek Army, II 1t
can be avoided, In the mean time skilfully
conducted movements on the part Of the
revolutionary bands in Macedonia will aid
In ~disorganizing the Turkish plan of cam
paign In case war should be decided on as
q result of the action of the powers toward
Greece and Crete.
AS yet the news from Crete affords no
clue to the real intentions of the powers to-
ward that island, IL they ever have had any
definite policy. From the actions Of the in.
buIRenU lehuBTb IL 10 eNlueuU Jucy place uO
confidence whatever in the offers Of au-
tonomy made them through the Admirals
or the British Consult General, and 1t is
likely they have good reasons for their
want of confidence. Tho concert Of the
powers in their case Is not harmonious, and
the reception given to the explanations Of
Italy's position in 1t, by the Italian Minis.
ter Of Foreign Affairs on Friday, shows
that q large party in the italian Parliament
has no sympathy with the policy hitherto
pursued by the Government of King Hum
BERT, while signs are not wanting that
other Governments are unwilling to pro-
coed to extremities in support Of the
integrity Of the Turkish empire in the
case Of an outlying dependency that, II at.
tached to Greece, would raise the value Of
Greek bonds, while under the Turkish flag
1t has never been anything but a wasting
drain on the Turkish treasury.
On the whole, the fighting on the Thes.
sally frontier does not necessarily mean
immediate war between Greece and Turkey.

1t is surprising that the Lighthouse
Board did not at first think of b~uoying the cable
Of the South Shoal lightship. Strange as It may
appear, a light and lively vessel is moro liable to
snap a chain than a big heavy craft. Just as a
bulldog with a spring often breaks n chain that
might hold a ~plunGing horse. a little catboat,
moored with n cable strong enough to
hold q sand schooner, will break loose and
como ashore in a storm. IL tho cable Is
not buoyed or provided with what is
called u Jumper" Tho buoy, as every boat
man knows, yields to the pull, and consequently
prevents the sudden chuck which parts tho
chain. The Jumper" is u light weight attached
near the centre OF tho cable. As the boat rises in
a sea the weight is lifted from the bottom, and,
Of course, 1t performs the same service rs tho
buoy. But, as it il a clumsy contrivancc. tend
Ing more or less to pull down the boats head, it
is not a general favoritc.
1t Is safe to predict that with the buoy ar
rangement. the South Shoal lightship will be-
have herself as she should, and mover again run
away from home.

The article by Mr.. WILLIAM d. GUTHRIE
on the decision Of the Supreme Court in the cnso
of the Trans.Missouri Traffic Association. which
we publish to-day, should have the most careful
consideration. lie argues with great force that
the Trust act OF 1900, as interpreted by the SUI
prcme Court, is unconstitutional, rs dcrriving
the people of tho freedom of contract guaranteed
by tho Fifth Amendment OF the Constitution Of
the United States. Tho article cvinccs much
study and thought and scholarly research. Mr..
GUTHRIE has been prominent as n lawyer In
constitutional cases, and won distinction in con-
ncction with his arguments in the income tax
cases. So far as wo can ascertain, tho point Of
constitutionality was not mado In either of tho
traffic association cases. 1t may havo been OK
amincd and determined to DO untcnablc. But in
view Of Mr.. GUTHRIE's very strong argument
the point should be presented when the cases
are again argued In the Supreme Court, for 1t In
wolves n question Of vital interest to every
American.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Mayor
Strong has secured for himself n niche in the
temple OF fame by vetoing the charter of the
Greater New York. which he was concerned in
framing and which he recommended to tho
Legislature.
He will go down as one of tho curiosities OF
history; the ~purblind Mayor who undertook to
resist tho development of the greatest, richest,
most powerful, and most brilliant city the world
has ever seen.
Such n capital OF civilization will require and
demand Mayors Of a larger pattern than can DO
furnished by the dry goods district.
But as a curious example OF Inconsistency and
shortsightedness, and as the last Mayor Of tho
uncompleted New York, Strong will have n
peculiar distinction. Otherwise no would have
been forgotten. COSMOPOLITAN.

NEW LIGHT ON "THE WORLD"
Tho Value or Its .Rerorms"-vork or Frnudu
lent Character.

From the Albany Erening Journal.
The New York World has nothing to say con-
corning the disRraceful charge that has been
brought against it by the New YORK Sun. 1t
publishes a letter from ii. NJ. Cross, who con-
fcsses that he did try 20 be retained by the gas
companies. for us an expert he considered him
self free to accept a retainer on either side. AS
the gas companies contemptuously ignored him,
he went over TO the World and. as that paper
said. became the " World's expert
BY his own showing Mr.. Cross is o very queer
fish. but then queer fish are always welcomed
TO the Worlds net. 1t is scarcely to be ex.
pected that reputable persons would undertake
to prosecute the singular reforms that paper is
bent upon undertaking-so it has TO be content
with queer fish or none at all.
as for Cross, he mas written himself down In a
manner which will forbid his appearance in the
future before legislative committees in any
capacity but AS the JYorld's expert. When he
comes forth in that capacity everybody will
know that he appears because he and his master
failed to persuade or cajole the other side to en-
list their efforts.
This exposure sheds new light on the general
management of the yellow journalism of the
day. and should serve to show an intelligent
public the general worth of the enterprise :"
and value of the . reforms" instituted and pros
ecuted by these blatant sheets. In the main,
their work Is of the most fraudulent character;
no dependence can be placed upon their general
statements; they snap with avidity at every
rumor, especially those that touch the weakness
and frailty OF human kind. and cNaggerate. dis
tort, and amplify such rumor until the public is
becoming nauseated.
1t Is believed at the present time that yellow
journalism Is laboring in n heavy sea, and a few
more blasts like the Cross exposure will send it
on its beam end.

POLICE Interference in England.

Englishmen In hotels seem to have some
rights left, II q recent decision by the Court
of Queens Bench, sitting in banc, that tho
police cannot enter at will any part of
premises covered by aliquor license, Is good
law. On the evening Of April %, st.
Georges Day, q year ago, two policemen
passing by the Brandy Cask Tavern In
Bristol city heard the sound of mu-
sio and singing proceeding from one of
the rooms. The policemen entered the
house and tried to enter the room, but were
not admitted. They ordered the landlord to
let them into the room but after explaining
to them that 1t was occupied by the Royal
A~ntediluvian Order Of Buffaloes, a secret
society meeting there at regular intervals,
he said that he could not, having no
rights over premises which he had
let to others. He was tried before
tho city police justices for violating
the license laws by refusing to admit the
officers, who salt they wished to find out
whether he had o music and dancing
license, and to prevent excessive drinking;
there was no allegation of disorder of any
kind beyond the landlords refusal to let the
officers into that particular room. He was
convicted, a conviction affirmed on appeal
to the Recorder, but now quashed by the
High Court of Justice, Mr.. Justice CAVE
delivering the opinion.
Some of the learned Judges statements
on the powers of the police are interesting
THAT the power of entry OF licensed premises for
the enforcement OF the licensing acts includes the
right OF admission to any room which Is part Of the
premises covered by the license at any time and under
all circumstances Is o great deal more than I am pre-
pared to hold. To say that In a room which Is occu.
pied by 4 gentleman his wife. and daughter, because
the latter is asked to sing In the evening, with a view
OF beguiling the monotony Of staying at such q place,
that, therefore, any constable who might be about
Is entitled to demand admission to that room to sec
what they are doing, seems to me a very monstrous
thing indeed. . . " There is nothing to prevent \
conat abe geIua over tho public part Of licensed prem.
fses. but he should not hold that no Is at liberty to go
all over the house. including rooms not actually in
the occupation OF the landlord but OF guests. solely
becauses 10 chooses to say he is there for the purpose
of detecting or preventing some offence against tho
law. Surely such n delicate mission As that Is not to
be intrustsd to o constable without some control
over him."
The law of liberty Is bigger than a Captain
CHAPMAN in England.
