The disaster to the battle.hip Maine is
tho most appalling that has ever occurred
TO the American Navy. Perhaps the de.
strucion Of the Fulton at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, by the explosion Of her maya
zine just seventy years ago may have been
as startling at the time, and we can all re-
member the loss Of the Trenton and VAN
dalia at Apia, which was gloritled by the
gallant conduct Of he officers and men;
but we have to go back to the explosion on
the President for u naval disaster that
caused any such ger eral shock as was felt
throughout the country, when news was
received Of the disas er. 1t is useless to
speculate ON the wreck Of tho Maine until
we have more certain Information That
1t was the act of an enemy is not concev-
able. Thatit was caused by individual
malice, is scarcely less so. An explosion
through accident or carelessness Is no.
hard to imagine, however hard to explain,
and we know from tho construction of
these ships that such an explosion must
be- almost certainly and instantly fatal
The accident is sufficiently distressing
without giving it an international signiil-
cance except in SO far as the sorrow and
sympathy it will excite everywhere, must
give fresh illustration Of the close ties of
common humanity. The New York Press
says:
Until the divers whose services have
been ordered by the captain of the Maine
report upon the character Of the injuries
which the ye ;sel has received, all cgni oct
ures as to the cause Of the wreck arc foil
ish Those which certain members OF
Congress are now putting GU. anuHyn4 Jtl,-

Ihat civ charter Ap.ln.

Municipal Commissioners, J. 8 Rossell,
ID. W. Taylor and W. d. Mullen, Jr., APP
peared in Council chamber last evening
aud discussed the proposed amendments
to the new city charter. The first afnend-
ment will allow council to annex land for
ono mile contiguous to the boundaries Of
the city; properly grads the same and lay
out in streets, providing the consent OF
three-fourthsof the property holders is Sc.
cured. -
Another amendment reduces the number
~ wards from twelve to five and the cleo
ton of three councilmen from each ward.
The ERIN of the Mayor Is increased from
three to four years, and only one term al
lowed.
1t also provides that the Mayor shall ,ap-
point not more than two of tho heads OF
tho several departments OF his political
faith, not more than one half OF tho meih-
bers OF said departments OF the same party
by which he was elected.
The other heads of the departments
must be Of opposite political faith. The
Director Of Public Works and Of Public
Safety will also be opposite politically.
TheAo appointments are subject to o
two-thirt vote OF Council and if they fail
to ratily the appointces, he must present
other names
We think that tho property owners
should be given the privilege Of voting on
whether they want this proposed new city
charter. We will say that if the Demo-
cratic politicians don't want this cbarler
it will not stand ghost Of chance of
passing at the present session Of tho Leg
islature. If the Republican party is to
gain any slight advantage. then the bill
will be doomed but If The Democrats
think 1t favors their chances Of capturing
all the offices in sight and providing u
Democrat in Senator Hanby's place, it
will have the necessary two thirds vote.
