The verdict of the cOroner's Jury in the
case Of Fireman INLAND makes ii impera-
tiV" that there should be an effort so to
regulate the management of the street cars
that The chance of another such accident as
that which caused his death will be reduced
to a minimum. Il matters less who was
responsible for this disaster than how to
avert Others "f the same kind. If the regu-
latiUns are such that no one can be held
responsible clearly they must be amended
to fasten the blame for any future
collisions between fire apparatus and street
lead 10 certain punishment. Only thus can
the progress Of the fire fighters to their
duty DE made safe. They must have right
of way. II the ears are run so fast that the
motormen can not stop at danger points in
season the speed must be reduced. The
places where the fire reels and steamers
cross the tracks habitually are few enough

the case of the company which suffered so
severely last week can the path be cleared
OF many dangers by standard rule requir-
ing the cars to be slowed at certain cross
ings. Save for north and south runs d.

can not reach point of alarm without
crossing one or more car tracks, making

general land campaign In China by the
powers. 1t is to be hoped that this number
will be enough. Indeed. 1t is the fervent
hope of the Christian world that long be-
fore the battalions now under orders have
reached the points from which they may be
diverted to China the troubles will be ad-
justed through the pressure of the powers
and by virtue Of the reaction which some
observers believe to be impending.
The statements as to the situation of the
foreigners at Pekin are so conflicting that
there is no way to form an estimate of the
truth Discredit is thrown upon the asser-
tion that the ministers were safe July 3,
cable to Minister WI repeats the an
noUncement about July 3. At the same
time there are persistent reports that the
mobs in Pekin have slackened in their as
saults upon the legations and that order
is being gradually restored, doubtless
through the efforts of Prince Tuan, who
seems to he the only individual capable of
commanding the natives at the capital.
So unreliable are most of the present news
sources that 1t is useless to do more than to
wait, in both hope and fear. for some direct
tidings. and to urge that every effort pos
sible be made to succor the legations and 20
improve the rapidly darkening situation at
Tien Tsin. AS the case now stands the
safety of the foreigners, both civilians and
soldiers. in that city depends upon the Jap
anese troops. just now reported as embark
ing for China. A report that a large col
urn of Russians and japanese defeated the
Chinese with heavy loss a short distance
from Pekin lacks confirmation.

sound Of the apparatus gongs. These gongs
are rung repeatedly and loudly, and it is in
conceivable that wide-awake motorman
should not be able to detect the warning in
season to stop his car If he Is not at the
time violating the speed rules and has thus
acquired an unmanageable headway. A
simple rule peremptorily requiring that all
cars be brought to halt before crossing
streets whenever the motormen hear warn
ing gongs, added to a strict enforcement
whenever possible of the speed rule relating
to street crossings, would probably meet
the requirements of the case. Something

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

From the Fhilldclphla Pubiic LEDGER.
The good roads congress- now in session
at Port Huron, Is attracting very little at
tenticn. That is because the association
which II represents is a step in advance OF
our present civilization. This country is
not impressed with the Importance of good
roads. Its people are ready to admit that
they would rather travel on good roads
than oil bad ones, but they do not think
the good ones are worth the money they
would cost. Figures are at hand to show
the comparativ economy of good roads
over bad ones despite their greater first
cost. but the people will not read them or,
If fhey do. will not believe and act on them.
That is why we say American civilization
has not yet reached the good roads point.
