BILIOUS GERMAN COMMENT.
TO SPREAD THE TROUBLE IN
SOUTH AMERICA

Berlin. Aug 19.-The ''Vosssche Zeitung" to-
day, discussing the attitude of New York news
papers regarding European vessels going TO the
Caribbean Sea, points out that a large United
States naval force has been sent there and
raises the question whether the American I'm
peraHsts" view the present situation offer
ing a welcome occasion for extending the sphere
and power Of the United States. whether 1t is
an honest attempt to restore peace. The paper
continues:
II the Americans intend nothing more than TO
protect the reasonable interests Of citizens Of the
United States, then they should rejoice at the
presence of European vessels having the same
object in view. Even the cooperation Of various
powers would be possible. But the very fact
that the United States Minister at Caracas
undertook the business Of the congeed Colom-
bian Minister was calculated TO arouse distrust
Of the Intentions of the Washington Govern
ment which thereby got control Of events at
one Of the most important points
Referring TO the report circulated in Wash
ington that the trouble is likely TO spread TO
Nicaragua and Ecuador, the "Vossische Eel

GRADE CROSSING PERILS.
LONG ISLAND RAILROAD FULLY RECOG-
NIZES THEM
BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT COMPANY SEEMS
RATHER TO IGNORE THBM-PREsIDENT
BALDwINs VIEWS

Though the recent grade crossing collision be-
tween a trolley car Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company and an engine of the Long
Island Railroad, which cost the lives Of two per-
sons and resulted in the inturing of many
others. is conceded to have been the fault of
the motorman Of the trolley car 1t is the Long
Island Railroad Company which thinks that
steam railroad and trolley line grade crossings
should be abolished, and is pushing the work
of doing away with them; while the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company thinks such crossings
safe enough and Is making attempt to get
rid of them
William H. Baldwin president of the Long
Island Railroad Company, said yesterday: I
believe grade crossings should be abolished. and
the Long Island Railroad is getting rid Of them
rapidly as possible. Last year we did away
with twenty-ope on Long Island This year
we shall change eleven more. We now at
work changing the grade of our tracks in At
l&ntic-ave. When they are changed sixty more
grade crossings will have been abolished"
Are the changes in the elevation of your
tracks made with special reference to trolley
line crossings?" he was asked
Ne" he replied. THE changes at trolley
crossings incidental as trolley crossings
are protected by interlocking signals and
switches. ard an engineer oanrot run by them
unless he deliberately disregards his signals
But when the grade of our tracks is changed in
Brooklyn there will be few trolley crossings
left There are not many outside the city"
Don't you think a motorman is apt to be
less careful than engineer. and that this
would add to the danger of trolley crossings,
despite the interlockng sgnaIs?" he was asked.
1 would rather not make any comment on
that Mr.. Baldwin replied.
At the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company 5
offices there was less reticence. There IL was
frankly said that motorman would probably
be less careful than engineer, and might
overrun his signals. Nevertheless, il was said
that it was not considered necessary TO change
the grade crossings of trolleys and steam rail-
road lines.
Mr.. Baldwin says that the Long Island Rail-
road is retarded in doing away with grade cross
tngs by the State. He called attention to the
law requiring the State to pay One-fourth Of the
cost Of changing the crossings, the city to pay
one-fourth and the railroad to pay one-half the
cost We made application two years age"
he said, ito change 149 grade crossings. The
State appropriated only 100000 TO pay its share
Of the cost-an entirely inadequate sum-

Washington Aug. 19-It announced at the
Navy Department to-day that the North Atlantic
Squadron would sail from Newport about August %
for Hampton Roads. When inquiry was made to
whether or not this movement had any connection
with the troubles in South America, an author
itative answer was given that it had no relation
whatever to affairs in that quarter It was
planed that the manpuvres of the squadron In
New-England waters had closed and that the
Southern drilling grounds off Hampton Roads af
ford better facilities for the evoutions In contem
plation- These plans appear TO have been formed
some time ago. The effect of the movement, how
ever viii be to place the vessels of this squadron
about day and a halfs sail nearer the scene Of
southern difficulties than If they remained the
New England coast and also in good location for
ooaIng and e4uipping for If any necessity
should arise for dispatching any of these ships.
1t was said that the squadron would have been
ordered 10 Hampton Roads If there had been
no disturbances in South America. 1t was also
said that the target practice be conducted
much better at Hampton Roads than at any other
place. and that the headquarters of the squadron
would continue To be Hampton Roads unless the
ships should be required in South American waters

PORTO RIcAY FRANCHISE OPPOSED.
ATToRNEY-GENERAL KNoX's OPINION IN a RAIL
WAY EXTENSION CASE.

Washington, Aug. 1a-The Secretary Of State has
received from Attorney-General Knox an opinion
on the question Of the approval by the President of
a franchise granting the Compania de les Fer
rocarriles de Porto Rico the right to extend its
railway line between certain points the island.
The Attorney-GeneraI advises that the franchise
in question be not approved by the President, on
the ground that the Executive Council OF Porto
Rico has undertaken TO exempt the company and
its property from all taxation for twenty-five years
These exemptions. the Attorney-G General holds the
Executive council was not authorized to make.
Congress, he says. did not delegate to IL the
sovereign power of taxation. including the author
lty TO exempt from taxation. This delegated
TO the Legislative Assembly of Porto Rico. The
two powers are different and distinct things"
The Council, therefore, it is held has invaded the
province of the Legislative Assembly, and the pro-
posed exemptions void.
