Bridge Commissioner John L. Shea had a con-
ference yesterday with President Rossiter Of
the Heights road, President johnson OF the

Island and Brooklyn roads In reference to the
amount OF tolls to be paid by the Brooklyn
trolley companies for the privilege Of crossing

present. Several weeks ago Mr.. Shea made a
demand that the toll for each car for the round
trip should be raised from 8 cents 70 10 cents.
but all the companies demurred to this PROPOSE
ton, intimatinR that sooner than accept 1t they
would have the controversy turned over to the
courts for adjustment.
Mr.. Shea receded yesterday from this de-
mand. his new proposal being that the COM
panies should pay q lump sum Of $150.00O a
year. He also presented an alternative plan.
which provided that the companies should pay
for 5000 cars per day at the rate Of 10 cents
per car. and the same amount for all In excess
Of that number. Should this proposition be ac-
cepted the companies are also to pay a addi-
tional $4,000 a year as rentals and to cover

Mr.. Shea said: II have every reason to be-
lieve that O satisfactory adjustment Of the
matter will be reached at an early date. The

preme Court through Hays. Greenbaum &
Hershheld. against the Atlantic Transport
line. operating between London and New York.
for 81. 605. III damages. The plaintiffs say
that on Oct. 1. 1897. they entered into an agree
ment with the Atlantic line for all the refrigera-
tor space on board their steamers. namely, the
Mohawk. Mobile, Manitoba. Massachusetts and
Mississippi. for two years, The Atlantic line
has sold all its steamers to the Government
and therefore Is unable to fulfil its con-
tract. The Schwarzchild company declares
that 1t knew nothing Of the sale until
the announcement appeared In the news
papers, and that 1t has been placed In a
very, embarrassing position in consequence Of
the breaking OF It's contract with the Atlantic
line. The plaintiffs say that they have endeay-
ored to secure other steamers with refrigera-

1t was deeply significant that the veterans were not
yesterday the Confederate veterans or the Union

of the badge Of tho cross of the Grand Army Of tho
Republic. and all keeping step to tho measure of

preference.
The orator OF the day said in his Grafton the lAto
war " was a brothers fight. but moro than this, a

Dishonor and Not Honor.

In most European journals and even in
some American newspapers we sec fire.
quently the declaration that Spain has
indicated her honor and demonstrated
her bravery by sacrificing her soldiers
and sailors in fights which she knew to
be hopeless.
This is said because on all sides, even
by the Spanish Government itself, the
defeat of Spain Is recognized as now
complete and irretrievable. Nothing re-
mains to Spain save bombast.
What honor is there in throwing away
the lives of thousands of poor Spanish
conscripts torn from their homes and
driven like slaves to the battlefield, when
those who order the sacrifice know that
it is in vain, and that the result of the
war is determined already beyond the
possibility of changer HonorH 1t Is MUIR
der; it is butchery; it is the bravado of a
vain and feeble people; and merits for
Spain condemnation rather han glorifica-
ton or any sympathy whatever.
1t is like an African Kings immolating
q whole tribe simply to make a show of
his savage authority over life and death.
It is not courage, but the stubbornness of
boastful feebleness. Spain will go down
to defeat in dishonor, because she deserves
to be crushed, and is without ability to
avoid her fate. Tho theatrical display
of assumed valor by the sacrifice of her
wretched conscripts cannot lessen her
dishonor. It simply an idle and wanton
waste of life to spread the fiction that
vital and vigorous health remains in her
a nation which really has gone to decay.

History.maktng events. such as the present war,
bring out the capabilities Of the newspapers Of
the world. All the large dailies have had re-
porters ION tho spot since tho declaration OF
hostilities. and the newspaper boats with the differ.
ent squadrons have been numerous. The rivalry in
procuring news has been exceptionally keen; but
through 1t all has stood out. bold, clear. and vic.
torious, THE Sur. 1t is not 3 member OF any news

DESTROYED AT HAVANA.

Alphonso XII, Cruiser.
At San Juan the torpedo boat Terror
was disabled by the st. Paul, the cruiser
Reina Mercedes, destined by the Spaniards
to be sunk in Santiago channel, was sunk
by the Texas before she could be brought
to the desired spot, and several small
craft have been disabled or captured.
Against this the only serious damage
done to our ships has been, we believe,
the disabling of a gun on the Baltimore.
Another side of our experience will light
n spark of satisfaction in the breasts of
those whose sympathies cannot be reused
by actual hostilities. We have fought the
element of mystery and uncertainty
out of our warships. Those ponderous
structures, of endlessly complicated ma
chinery subject to strains Of Internal
power, have come through the ordeal of
practical use unscathed. The modern
battleship, which pessimistic peace-wor-
shippers predicted would be its own
Worst foe, and would destroy itself by its
own unbearable energies, is a vessel not
only of tremendous effectiveness, but of
great endurance. Even our 13-inch guns,
unmatched for size in modern fleets, are
all in good working order, after many
commandments.
All this to the world at large is impress
sive to machinists it is inspiring to our
navy it is honorable; and to American COM
merce and prosperity it will be useful.
