CAUSES OF RuNAvVAYS-

Suggestion of $50 Penalty on Careless
Runaways-TyiDg Ordinance Not Needed.
EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:
There has much complaint, and with
good reason, of the many accidents in
Morristown caused by runaway horses.
The Board of Alderman has endeavored,
unsuccessfully. believe, to pass an or
dinance to suppress this nuisance. Its
action has been based on the theory that
these runaways have been due to the
fact that horses have been left united,
and that an adequate remedy would be
an ordinance imposing a penalty for
leaving them in that condition. Ny OBJ
servation leads me to believe that many
runaways are due to other causes which
such an ordinance would not reach. I'm
skilled drivers, reckless drivers, defective
harness or vehicles, vicious horses, and
the general disregard of the rules of the
road by bicyclers occasion many run
away accidents. | think an ordinance
imposing a penalty upon every person
leaving his horse united would be a
great hardship upon many of our
citizens, and that such an ordinance
would entirely fail to remove the
danger.
| suggest an ordinance imposing a
penalty of $50 (if SO large fine is law
fuD upon every person who negligently
or wilfully causes horse to run away;
and like penalty upon the owner of
every horse that runs away; with a
proviso that if such owner can prove
that such runaway was not caused by
any negligence of himself or his agent he
shall not be liable tosuch fine.

Special Despatch to the CHRONICLE from
Washington-12 o'clock to-day.
The only new developments as to the
Maine disaster is the fact that the Court
of Inquiry several days ago conveyed to
the President and Secretary of the Navy
informally the information that so far
they have been unable to discover the
cause of the disaster or to locate the re-
sponsibility therefor. Upon receipt of
this unsatisfactory information the
Court was ordered to return to Havana
and there prosecute the investigation
further. The Court is still at Key West,
but will go to Havana soon, While the
Administration is awaiting the final re-
port of the Court, hoping it will be such
as to avert war, it is rushing prepara-
tions for war with all possible vigor.

Special Correspondence of the CHRONICLE.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Secretary
Longs statement in Cabinet meeting last
Tuesday that in his personal opinion
'sany official participation by the Spanish
government in the blowing up of the
Maine was practically eliminated" by
no means carries with it the idea that
Spain's responsibility has been elimi-
mated, provided the Court of Inquiry re-
ports that the disaster was from the out
side, whether by design or by accident.
In that event Spain would be held re-
sponsible for the wrecking of the vessel
and for the loss of life which converted the
disaster into tragedy. This is the settled
opinion of the best authorities on interna-
tional law. They say iti long and well
established principle of international
law that the authorities representing
the Government to which port belongs
are in honor and duty bound to protect
the vessel Of a friendly nation visiting
such port on peaceful errand from de-
etruction and its crew from injury, and
if it fails, whether from the act of an ir-
responsible individual, party of con-
spirators, or because of official neglect or
carelessness, such government would be
responsible for the damage which
befell the vessel or any injury or
loss of life sustained by the
crew. These authorities go even
further and say that if such harbor con-
tanned submarine defenses, as torpedoes
or mines, and one of these was exploded
by sheer accident damaging or destroy
ing the vessel and injuring or killing
members of the crew the government to
which the harbor belonged would still be
responsible. In short, they hold that the
government owning the harbor would be
responsible for any damage or injury
done the vessel or crew or both by any
disaster that could have been prevented
by proper precautions. Therefore they
hold that in this instance Spain is re-
sponsible for the Maine disaster in any
event unless it is shown to be due to an
accident on board the vessel. They say
that If official participation or connivance
in the disaster is shown in the destruc-
ton of the Maine it would be an act OF
war, and hostilities would begin without
further ado. 1t is this phase of the mat
ter. and this phase only, that Secretary
Long says in his judgement has been
eliminated from the case. Spain's re-
sponsibility can be eliminated only by
showing that the disaster was the result
of an accident on board the Maine. For
this Spain could not of course be held in
any degree responsible. In any other
event however responsibility would be
attach to Spain.
How does the matter stand, with Of
fetal participation or connivance by
Spain eliminated? If the disaster was
caused by an accident on board the
Maine the relations between the two
countries would not be affected. In any
other event this Government would de

The BurIington's New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the fonr
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the 1st of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the
oountry-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-librarycar, palace sleep
ing-oar, and two reclining-chair
cars. The buffet-smoking-library
car is something new for Denver
Chicago line. 1t is a ver1tabIe
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour. It is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, a lavatory, a writlng-desk,
a compartment for card-players,
and a well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are ON file, and carefully
selected library is provided for the
FREQ use of passengers. The Sleep
ing car is a gem, and tho chair
and dining-cars are in every way
worthy of the train Of which they
form an important part.
