The Laws Delays.

The Chicago Tribune pertinently
remarks that inasmuch as the Court of
Appeals of New York was unit in be-
lieving that Molineux should have a
new trial. the decision ought to have
been rendered long ago. 1t rather looks
that way. MolineuX was convicted on
February 10, 1900-nore than twenty
months ago. All of this time the case
has been on appeal. and the prisoner
occupying a cell In Murderers' Row at
Sing Sing Some time was required to
prepare the record, which is said to
have been one of the largest ever filed
in this country on an appeal The case
was not argued until early in the pres
ent year, but even at that more than
half q year intervened between the ar
gument and the rendering of the judg-
meHt.
Voluminous as was the record, the
versed were few and simple. One was
that some of the testimony admitted
against Molineux was "hearsay," a
fact which appears at glance 1t is
said that the judges were unanimous
from the first that new trial must be
granted upon this ground. Then ma
jority of the court held il improper to
use writings alleged to have been the
prisoners, containing matter injurious

handwriting This was a more complex
point. but there is no apparent reason

have been settled in a couple of months
AS the decision was favorable to the
prisoner it would have been an act of
merciful consideration to relieve his
anxiety sooner. If the sentence had
been affirmed, the delay would have
been a matter of less consequence.
However, it is scarcely to be supposed
that the court Intentionally dallied with
such a case. Probably most of the de-
lay could be satisfactorily accounted
for. There may have been other cases
Of grave Importance pressing for con-
sideration at the same time. There is
much complaint OF the laws delays that
is based upon misunderstanding. A

A queer instance of the way in which

Mai. Gen. Sir Arthur James Lyon
Freemantle, G. c. NJ. c.. c. B., lately
Governor of Malta, who died a few days
ago, was much talked about In this coun-
try about the time of the battle of Get

toned in the histories of our civil war.
He was then colonel of the famous
Coldstream Guards, and came over to
see how American soldiers did their Tight

at Gettysburg. AT the time of Picketts s

scious of the foredoomed failure of the

A very remarkable story is current with
regard to Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton's S
spectacles. 1t appears that the gallant
officer, then subaltern, lost pair of
spectacles in the battle Of Majuoa Hill.
They were apparently picked up by
Roer whom they suited, and who kept
them for twenty years. In the early part
of the present year the spectacles were
found on the body of dead Boer. The
case had General Hamiltons name on II
and they were in due course returned
to their original owner.

An Eastern Complication.

Mr.. Dickinson, our Consul General at
Sofia, according to the Cologne Ga
zette," has refused 10 pay any ransom
for Miss Stone, the missionary captive
of the brigands, has denounced the
Macedonian Committee as being re-
sponsible for her capture, and has re-
quested the Bulgarian Government to
arrest the chief instigators of the abb
duction Until the receipt of full con-
hrmation of this story, it should be ac-
cepted with reserve. Thursday after
noon the State Department declined TO
affirm or deny its truth. That fact may
be significant, or may not But If 1t be
true that our Government has broken
off relations with the Bulgarian bar
dts, and has made the representations
alleged TO the Bulgarian and Turkish
Governments, then perhaps the Stone
affair mas been changed into an inter
national question.
Assuming, what appears to be mat
ter of general belief in Europe, that the
revolutionary committee engaged in the
effort to free Macedonia from the Turk
ish yoke is at the bottom of the Stone
outrage, we must look to Bulgaria,
whose people appear to have commit
ted it, for their punishment and for sat
isfaction otherwise. Since the Mace

resents are mostly subjects of Turkey.

neighbor. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
And there is something of justice In the
attitude which Abdul Hamid will GER
tainly assume in the premises.
His position in the matter is not en-
viable. Were the United States, for ex-
ample. to call Bulgaria to account, that
principality could only be reached by
way of the Dardanelles, inasmuch as
the only Bulgarian ports are on the
Black Sea. On the surface of things 1t
would seem that we might make
friendly arrangement with the Sultan
by which the Straits couli be opened

squadron But by international agree
ment they are barred TO the war vessels
of all Powers except upon the consent
of the Sublime Porte. Now we fancy
that nothing would please the authori-
ties at Constantinople better than to
have somebody go in and give Bulgaria
a thorough castgation: but to let the
United States try 1t with gunboats
and cruisers would be a dangerous
thing Opening the Dardanelles to
america would establish precedent of
which Russia might, and probably
would, take advantage, and his closed
waterway is about the only assurance

Circulation Statement
A Great Navy.

We hope it may he true that Presi-
dent Roosevelt intends to recommend
to Congress a much larger appropria-
tion for naval purposes than the sum
for which Secretary Long asks. 1t is
very possible that were he to suggest
the progress in this respect that ought
TO be made during the succeeding fiscal
year, his policy might be antagonized
by Senators and Representatives who
are more devoted to river and harbor
improvements" and subsidy schemes
than they are to the safety or progress
OF the country But the country as
whole would stand by him and back of
him like a stone wall, and he would
have his will.
Mr.. Long wants little under ninety
nine million dollars for all naval pur-
poses The amount includes extensive
additions to the naval plant ashore on
the continent and in the colonies. His
estimates provide only for the construc-
ton of>three new battleships, two ar
mored cruisers and twelve gunboats.
The number of battleships and cruisers
ought to be increased. None was au-
thorized last year. owing to the eco
nomical desire of Senator Hanna and
others to save money for the subsidy
project That was a shame, and the
sooner il can be wiped out the better.
We do not know how many powerful
war vessels il would be possible for the
country to construct within a given
time, but as many as can be built ought
to be under way just as soon as facili-
ties will permit, and, if necessary, facil-
tiles should be expanded.
We are In a race for position which

the encroachments or aggressions Of
envious rivals. We do not want a great
navy for war, but to prevent war.
Without great navy our Monroe Doc
trine would soon become a European
joke Without one we should soon find
that the pressure of our ever increasing
surplus of exportable products upon the
markets of the Old World would lead us
into serious trouble. A great navy
means peace and the maintenance of
our prosperity.

END OF OFFICIAL MOURNING.
Flags on Public Buildings to BE
Placed at Full Mast To-day.

The thirty days of official mourning for
the late President Mckinley ended last
night with the sunset gun, and this morn
ing the American flags on all public build
ings, at all army posts. and on the vessels
OF the United States Navy will be raised
to full mast.
The thirty days of official mourning be-
gan on September 10. at which date the
funeral at Canton took place. President
Mckinley died on Saturday morning, Sep
tember IA. and with sunrise that Gay
flags throughout the United States were
placed at half-mast.
1t was decided by the War Department,
however, to date the thirty days of Of
ficial mourning. not from the date upon
which President Mckinley died. but from
the day of the last rites at Canton.
Col. Theodore A Bingham, Superinten-
dent of Public Buildings and Grounds,
has issued an order for the flags on pub

interfere with arms against Bulgaria.
The whole Balkan, in fact, the whole
Eastern question might be brought to
a sudden issue by such a movement,
and the interests of the European Con-
cert probably would lead the Powers %
forbid any hostile action on our part.
Bulgaria is under Russian influence.
On religious grounds and in the hope
of extending her frontier at the ex-
pense of Turkey, Bulgaria is in full
sympathy with the Macedonian anti
Turkish propaganda and agitation.
Much as we assisted Russia to accom-
plish her purposes in Manchuria, in the
Russo American cut and scuttle from
Peking. we could hardly expect the St.
Petersburg Government to sanction a
descent by US upon the territory of a
State practically its feudatory. We
should meet also with opposition else
where. Even England would not be
likely 20 look with favor upon action
which might result in precipitating a
crisis, the consequences of which might
be the removal of Turkey as bar to
Russia's entrance to the Mediterranean
Sea, while Germany, Austria, and Italy
alike would be apt TO tell us that we
must keep out of the Eastern question
or anything calculated to bring it to the
front.
Because of these considerations, If
our Government has stopped trading
with the brigands who have oar citizen
as a prisoner, and is holding Bulgaria,
Turkey, or both, responsible for the af-
front, there is reason to fear that we
shall scratch an old head before we
get satisfaction.

DuN,s REVIEW OF TRADE.
Good Outlook for Manufacturing In
dustries and Retail Trade.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Dun's review
tomorrow will say:
'Unfavorable signs are rare In the busi-
ness outlook. Manufacturing industries
enjoy exceptional activity and most job
bers and retailers find no occasion for
complaint. Mild weather is the one infiu-
ence that may be charged with retarding
the retail merchandise distribution, yet
there is general confidence that any sales
thus postponed will be made up later
The same influence is invaluable in facil-
itating the handling of CROPS, erecting
buildings and other outdoor work.
Although fifth Of the year is still to
be heard from, including the usual inter
ruption of elections, and possible disturb

Footwear factories still have many weeks

BRADsTREErS ON THE WEEK.
Cool Weather, ILLS Reported, stim-

NEW YORK. Oct 1s-Bradstreet's 90
morrow will say:
Among the notable features brough:
out in trade dispatches to Bradstreet's
this week are the reports of stimulated
retail trade. due to cooler settled weather
and advices of continued activity in all
leading Industrial lines. notably iron and
Steel. shoes and leather, coal, lumber,
iewelry and cotton and woolen goods,
The shipments of products of these in
dustries and of groceries to consuming
sections continue heavy and are accom-
panied by reports of delays due to the
scarcity of cars
Another one of those slight upward
swings in prices of staples, so numerous
of late. has also occurred, by which the
general level Of cereals, raw cotton, dairy
products and lake copper has been
raised. Clearings have expanded because
OF an extension OF interest in the security
markets. but also because OF continued
good collections, which. in turn, have in
duced rather mere ease in money rates at
leading markets.
'Advices from the South are still of

"A scarcity of cars is complained of at

Bank deposits show no decrease at Chi

belt west of the Mississippi report busi-
ness and collections good. Kansas City
reports business could hardly be better
and no complaint of collections. ST. Jo-
seph reports a brisk jobbing trade and
produce more active than ever before.
Clear. cold weather helps trade at ST.
Paul and Minneapolis.
On the Pacific Coast trade has further
improved at Portland and San Fran
cisco. Heavy sales of grain are reported
from Oregon and Washington interior
points. Advices from Memphis, New Or
leans Savannah, and Montgomery are
that the cotton crop in sections tributary
to those cities will be shorter than last
year. Collections are generally behind a
year ago, and jobbing trade is slower. At
Charleston retail trade is helped by the
near approach of the opening of the ex-
position.
