INFAMY ADDED TO HORROR.

The assertion Is made, not alone by
the sensational newspapers, but by the
most conservative representatives OF
the New York press, that at the Hobo
ken fire the captains of tug boats de-
liberately refused to assist helpless HUI
man beings who were struggling in the
water because they were not able to
pay for being rescued. Instances of
this are said to have been, not the cx-
ception, but rather the rule, the tugs
passing by with brutal unconcern the
scores of men and women who were
compelled to jump into the water from
the burning ships, the reason for this
indifference being that each of the tug
captains hoped to secure large amounts
in salvage for helping to save the Will
helm der Crosse. Eye witnesses assert
that one man was put back on the
blazing dock by a tug captain because
he did not have s25 20 pay for being
saved. and that man in the water
who caught Il passing tug was beaten
loose with a boat hsok when he said
he had no money. The captain of an
other steamer in the harbor, who in
duced a tug captain to run line of
hose aboard one of the doomed ships.
says that he could have saved Il score
OF lives had the tug not deliberately
backed away, taking the hose with it,
thereby dcpriving him of the mekls OF
getting out the people below .dcEs.
In its sicSening brutality there is no
parallel in modern times for this story.
except in Indian massacres Had it
not actuully occurred. nobody would
have believed it possible. Compared
to this cold-blooded and merccnary
cruelty the Boxer outrages pale into
insignificance. Surely such things
could not have come to pass in any
other port; New York owes it TO itself
and to the country to see to it that
the fullest possible measure of justice
is meted out to those who arc guilty
of this most horrible form of murder.
The incident appears all the blacker
because it is In such sharp contrast to
the heroism that is the almost untver-
sal rule in disasters at sea. When the
officers and crew of the La BourgoEne
were shown to have thrust aside help
less passengers in the mad rush for the
boats when that steamer foundered.
obloquy was heaped upon the name of
F'rcnchman, and 1t was Indignantly
asserted that among the sailors of no
other nation could there have been
such an exhibition of cruelty and cow
ardice. What then will be said OF
Americans on account of this incident?

lcntly manipulated in the last year, was again
under the control Of its managers, moving to a

1t is probable that Tennessee Coal and Iron

will be more than per cent. The beginning OF

PROPORTION OF GRAIN PRODUCTS TO THE TOTAL

PROPORTION OF GRAIN PRODUCTS TO THE TOTAL
TONNAGE OF THE CANAL.
General Francis Y. Greene in the course of
address the dinner of the Board of Trade and
Transportation Wednesday night made state
nent 10 the effect that grain traffic the Erie
Canal amounted 10 only about one-sIxth of the
total tonnage of the canal This statement, it Is
believed, brought forth by the interview with
Samuel r. Galloway printed in The Tribune. in
which Mr.. Galloway, speaking the president Of
the New-York Central Railroad, indicated that
grain and grain products were the main freights
carried by the canal, and that the New-York Cen
ITsl could carry all the grain and grain products
from Buffalo to New-York for amount of money
equal to interest the proposed approprat ton of

Greene's statement yesterday he said:

Iral is concerned
Mr. Galloway reiterated the statement that he
had no intention OF entering into a controversy
with the Canal Commission. but only wanted the
New-York Central 10 be misrepresented.
