yyTRA.URBAN COMMUNICATIONS.

There Is no more important problem to-day
in the advancement Of New-YoFk City than
that Of free communication between the two
boroughs which. united, form the metropolis OF
this country and this continent Joined under
n single municipal government, they are sew
cred physically by the East River The COM
plete welding Of interests business and social,
which is so desirable, fails through the delays
which restricted communication produces. To
n large extent that clumsy and tagging an
schronism the ferryboat serves as the means
Of transfer for many thousands, who, in the
DAVIS most crowded hours. must pass from one
section to the other of this great city.
In another column Of The Tribune Rear
Admiral Melville sets forth n plan OF intra-
urban communication which would appear to
ha worthy OF most careful consideration, al
though at first glance Its seeming novelty and
the radical nature of the changes proposed are
somewhat startling With that Imagination
which is inseparable from creative genius, the
Admiral has looked into the future. and he sees
in the East River only an enlarged reproduc-
tIon Of the English Thames, sparned at every
imnortant street by low bridge, on piers and
practically at grade, whose central section Is
Of the cantilever type. folding back on abut-
ments to permit the passage OF the largest YES
sells while beneath the remaining sections
there may pass readily the tugboats and barges
IN which the bulk of the harbor commerce Is
now carried on.
Such a system as this would give the freest
possble communication; 1t would avoid the
building of the lofty and most costly structures
now completed or projected The entrance to
such n bridge would be directly from the water
front. where so much heavy traffic now exists,
and not as with the Brooklyn Bridge, a half
mile inland. These are the advantages Of the
Man. Its disadvantages would seem to lie
solely in the possible obstruction to the navi-
cation OF the East River by large vessels.
Passing over the distractions already pre-
sented by ferryboat traffic, 1t may be said that
investigation will show that shipping OF large
tonnage Is turning steadily toward the shore OF
the North River, from the Battery to Harlem,
for docking facilities, leaving to lesser craft the
waters between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Looking backward is the surest method Of
measuring the future. The most far-reaching
and successful movements OF our time have
run. each In its day, the gantlet Of hostile
criticism. The New Yorker of the era Of Broad
way stages would have scoffed at the prediction
that this crowded thoroughfare would yet be
traversed by a finely equipped street railway,
and vet this has come to pass Both London
and Chicago have been forced to adopt the
bridge system which Admiral Melville suggests.
II would be venturesome, therefore, to say that
his plan for New-York Is only an idle dream.

DR.. PARKHURST AND MR.. MOSS.

DR.. Parkhurst's farewell message to the peo-
pie of New-York on the subject of the Mazet
investigation is not n highly important con-
tribrtion to public knowledge of the purposes
of the committee and the value OF Its laoors.
1t had been well understood that Dr. ParR-
bursts original attitude was that OF sus
pclous observer, who, not expecting usetul re-
suits. scarcely thought II worth while to nope
for them, and that still seems to be his atu-
tude: though he confesses that he has derived
some announcement from the belief that the
inquiry Is tending to cause an irreparaoie
breach between Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Platt. Dr.
Parkhurst's statement is not entirely consistent
in all its parts. and we may have gained a
wrong idea Of bis position, but we think II fair-
" conveys the impression that in bis judgment
the investigation lacks the moral impulse when
under other circumstances he might have given
to It. and consequently that 1t Is unlikely 10
nroduce important practical results.
Possibly the chief value Of Dr. Parkhursts
statement Is in the response which II has drawn
from Mr.. Moss, who, being unwilling to receive
pra,se at the expense Of the committee, takes
this opportunity to commend 1t in the most pos
five manner TO the confidence and support Of
the community. There was at the outset some
citizens were disposed to reserve their 5udg-
ment as to its purposes and probable outcome;
but the appointment Of Mr.. Moss as counsel
was generally accepted as strong evidence OF
sincerity, and nothing has occurred to weaken
the faith so established. On the contrary, that
good opinion has been confirmed from day 10
day. and Mr.. Moss's testimonial, though cred
table to him and gratifying on all accounts
was not needed to correct a false impression,
excepting possibly in the mind Of Dr. PARK
hurst.
It is certain that an excellent beginning has
been made; indeed, in the matter OF putting
Tammany officially on record as an instrument
of public government for private advantage no
preyious investigation has been so successful
II is already clear that Tammany looks on the
committee and its counsel with fear and detes-
tation, and there is good reason to hope that
even without DR.. Parkhursts cooperation they
will be able to render salutary and lasting
service to the city.

THE FITTINGS OF THE STAR.
THEODORE MOSS CLAIMS THEM. AND THn
MANAGERS WANT TO USE THEM.

THEODORE MOSS CLAIMS THEM, AND THE
MANAGERS WANT TO USE THEM
The question seems to be whether. for the rest Of
the season at the Star Theatre. the management
will have to put out the standing Room Only sign
before they sell a seat. There is a prospect OF the
whole audience having to stand up. Theodore Moss
says that the seats belong to him. and that he
wants TO sell them else take them out The
managers r. NJ Guck q Co., do not feel disposed
to buy them. and yet they want to keep them.
The story goes hack to the palrny days OF the
drama when Mr. Moss built the theatre and took
a lease Of II from the Aston estate and called Il
Wallack's Theatre. Then Il was arranged that
Mr. Moss should own all but the shell OF the build
In The floors the walls and the roof belonged 10
the Aston estate-all the rest to Mr.. Moss. Even
the balcony fronts Mr.. Moss says. he still has the
right to remove
A few seasons ago Mr. Moss gave lease Of the
house to Neil Burgess. who managed the theatre
dsastrously for short time. and then transferred
his lease to II. ~ Gulick & Co.. who managed tho
house under 1t till the first day Of this month On
that day Mr.. Moss gave up his lease OF the prop
erty. and his lease to Mr.. Burgess became nopera-
tive Then r. NJ Quick & Co. leased the building
from the Astor estate. But that Mr. Moss says
has nothing to do with his furnishings. He offered
to sell these to the managers for 5000. but they
preferred TO regard them as belonging to the house
Mr. Moss began legal proceedings to get his
money or his furnishings. and the result was that
a writ OF replevin was issued and that deputy
sheriff was IN charge at the theatre last night.
There we're dire threats last night that everything
movable in the house should come out OF 1t to-day
50 the managers may have to paint the numbers
cts may know where their coupons entitle them to
stand. But 1t was also said last night that some
Spnhabrv be- MADE today SO that the audience Of
tonight would be able TO SIT down.
