| Pan American Attendance.
The total attendance to July S at
the Pan American Exposition was
1898, 1858. The Exposition attendance
began May 20, but at that time many
features were incomplete and the
people remained away. The average
daily attendance for June, including
f We Sundays, was 81, 900. The exceed
ingly hot weather during the last two
weeks has had deterrent influence
On the attendance, Notwithstanding
Buffalo is rated as ''the coolest city,
by several degrees, on account of the

Turkey Settles.
The controversy between the United
States and Turkey over the claims for
indemnity made by this government
on account Of the destruction of Amer
ican property in Armenia, which has
several times threatened to cause
trouble between the two countries,
has been settled at last. Secretary
Hay has received a cablegram from @.
A. Leishman, the United States minis
ter at Constantinople, saying that the
Sublime Porte had paid him S95, 600 in
payment of the Armenian claims and
that he had deposited the money in
the Ottoman Bank, subj ect to the dis
position of the State department.
This amount does not quite represent
the aggregate of the claims presented,
but the State department is satisfied
and will declare the incident closed.
The money is in payment of damage
inflicted on the American college at
Harpoot, Armenia, and injuries suffer
&c by persons OF Armenian birth who
had been naturalized in the United
States. It covers also the indemnity
demanded for the murder by Turkish
soldiers of Frank Lentz OF Pittsburg,
Pa, who was making tour on a bi
cycle through Armenia for Outing
when he was killed.

COMPLETING THE TICKET.

The selection of Edward NJ. Grout as the can
didate of the anti-Tammany forces for Con
troller is a step ir obedience to the true spirit
of municipal non-partisanship. Mr.. Grout. is
Democrat; not one of the men who once were
Democrats. but who left their party years ago
and have been acting so long as independents
that the regulars no longer recognize their
rights in the organization. but one who is up
to the present moment a Democrat IN gooo anu
regular standing In 1895 he was the organlza-
ton candidate for Mayor of Brooklyn. -Four
years ago he was elected President OF the bor-
ough of Brooklyn In that office he has been
exceedingly dissatisfied, because Of his inability
TO do any considerable good for his constituents
with Tammany Hall possessing complete veto
power over all improvements in the borough,
and also because he disliked association with
the corrupt administration under which he
found he was holding office without power to
check abuses.
No doubt Mr. Grout could have continued IN
influence with the Willoughby Street organiza-
ton but he had had enough of Brooklyn Demo
cratic subserviency to Tammany Hall, and told
the party managers so year ago lie Is
the representative, therefore. of the great num-
Der of strong Democratic partisans who have
not hitherto wayered in their regularity, but
who cannot permit their Democracy TO be made
the instrument for keeping this city subject TO
the criminal classes. They have seen the Dem
ocratic party which they belonged to on prin-
cipIe, swallowed up by Crokerism, and their old
local organizations robbed of all influence eX-
cept as their members made themselves lieu
tenants of Tammlny, fate which they did not
foresee when in obedience to the call in the
party name. four years ago they shackled them
selves by supporting Van Wyck. 1t is fitting
that this element should be recognized in max
ing up the anti-Tammany ticket, so that all
men. whatever their party affiliations. should
be encouraged TO get together on the simple
issue of revolt against Tammany oppression
Mr.. Grouf we believe. antedated Mr.. Coler IN
bis opposition TO Ramapo. and called attention
TO the impending danger, in the fighting OF
which, from the superior vantage point of his
office. the Controller gained that reputation as
a reformer which he has since destroyed by
explaining that his denunciaton Of political cor
ruption was all Joke. and by offering himself
to Croker as a standard bearer for the cam
paign TO keep Tammany and its blackmailers in
power. The anti-Tammany leaders are proceed
ing carefully and wisely in the selection of can
didates and there is every reason TO expect the
early completion of ticket which will COM
| mand the support of all honest men regardless
of politics.

DUTCH CONSERVATIVE REFORMS

The Queen Of the Netherlands devoted her
speech at the reopening OF her Parliament last
week largely 10 the outlining OF measures or
reform and progress which are forthwith to De
undertaken This had been expected for the
need Of certain reforms in that country has
long been pressing. But the peculiar feature OF
the case is that the work Is to be undertaken
not by the Liberals, who are supposed to De
the party of progress and reform, but by the
Conservatives and Clericas, to whom reaction
ary tendencies are generally imputed.
At the last elections the Liberal party in
Holland practically went to smash" The
question OF electoral reform was the cause.
Upon it disagreements arose which finally shat
tered the once united and harmonious party
into four hostile factions. The natural result
was that not only did none of these factions
secure majority in the Parliament. but the
whole OF them put together fell far short OF so
doing. The new Second Chamber. which met
on Tuesday last. contains fifty-eight Conserva-
tves OF all classes and forty-two Liberals Radi-
Gals Socialists and Moderates. Moreover, while
these last four are warning among themselves,
the Conservatives although really comprising
three or four classes, are well united and Will
undoubtedly act together on all important ques-
tions. OF the fifty-eight no fewer than twenty
five are Roman Catholics, and the latter have

Cabinet
One of the first acts of the Parliament will
doubtless be revision of the tariff In the drec-
ton OF higher protection, which will be done
partly for the sake of protection to home indus
try and partly for the sake OF getting more
revenue TO meet the deficit in the budget. There
will also be some rather radical social and
sumptuary legislation In the direction OF enforc-
ing better Sabbath observance and restricting
the sale and use of strong drink. Holland has
of late years become sadly lax in these respects
and the young Queen, whose moral standards
are high, is personally determined TO effect
| sweeping reforms In such work she will
| doubtless find hearty support among the Cleri-
| Gals and the whole Conservative party. Another
highly important reform is TO be put into execu-
| enacted by the former one. That relates to the
| construction OF tenement houses, or working
| mems dwellings. The new law prescribes a
| certain number OF rooms. according to the act
| ua or prospective size of the family, and vari-
| Gus arrangements for the sanitary welfare OF
| the inmates, which, il strictly enforced as
| Dutch laws are apt to he, will put Holland in
| the forefront of countries In that respect
Recent occurrences have brought the Neither
| lands much before the gaze of the world, and
| the working out of these and other reforms not
| by Radicals and Socialists, but by Clercals and

MORE THAN TWO MILES A MINUTE

An experiment in electric traction which will
command worldwide attention is soon to be
made on short military railway extending
southwark from Berlin The feature Of the
project which has thus far received the most
notice and which from a popular point of view
is probably the most interesting, is the speed
which it is proposed to develop. This is at the
rate of between 125 and 135 miles an hour or
between two and two and a quarter miles
minute. The road is only eighteen and one half
miles in length, and hence the trip should be
made in eight nine minutes. IT, however
such speed can be sustained for that inter
val, it can be kept up for an hour. All new
questions of air resistance and road and car
equipment ought to be disposed of in a tenth of
that time.
1t has been repeatedly pointed out that much
higher speeds than are now attained on steam
railways would be practicable if curves and
grade crossings We're done away with. 1t may
also prove necessary to modify the form of the
car more or less, the better to withstand blast
greatly SURPRISING the average hurricane in vio-
lence The Berlin-Zossen track meets Nhe first
of these requirements already. And partial pro-
vision has been made for the second by round
ing the fronts and soping the roofs of the cars
near the ends. Whether more elaborate
taper will eventually prove desirable is yet to
be determined
The coming trial will involve comparatively
new and important problems in electrical engi-
neerng In the first place. the alternating cur
rent Will be used instead Of the direct current,
which is in practically universal service in trac-
ton work This innovation has been introduced
on few roads in Switzerland and a line in
Italy which skirts Lake Como, with apparent
success although speed of more than forty
New-York tribune., 1901-09-22

FIVE miles an hour has not been recorded. In
the next place, the feasibility Of taking OF the
current when running at the rate OF 40 miles
an hour has been doubted. Again, the 'tri-
phase" system Of alternating currents calls for
a more complicated arrangement OF conductors
than the direct current. The Lake Como line
uses two overhead wires and employs the rails
as substitute for the third. The Berlin Zossen
road will have three overhead wires, with three
poles at each end of the car to make the con-
tacts In several other particulars also the ap-
paratus will be original in design and until its
practical efficiency Is demonstrated absolute
confidence cannot be felt In regard to the re-
suit larger degree of uncertainty exists in
the minds of experts as to the satisfactory
working of the alternating current for traction
purposes than the possibility Of making 120 or
even 40 miles an hour. The former question is
one over which wide differences of opinion pre-
vail. Further experiment and discussion are
needed therefore, to bring out the truth.
The electricians long ago found that 1t is
much more convenient to transmit electricity
for long distances when it is in the form OF an
alternating current, because the voltage can
then be readily raised and because it takes
less copper to conduct at a high voltage than
at a low one. Consequently this style Of cur
rent is universally employed on transmission
lines Then, if at the terminus a trolley road
is to be operated not only is the voltage brought
down to the desired level, but another process
is gone through with. The alternating current
is converted" into direct one. 1t has been
argued that if this last step could be avoided
less apparatus would be needed and that a
certain small waste of energy would be pre-
vented. Such reasoning is met with the as
sertion that there are losses in other ways
which more than compensate for the gain. And
so the economy of the new scheme, as well as
the efficiency of the mechanism, is yet in doubt
Finally when these questions have been cleared
up it will still be necessary to inquire into the
expediency of using a system which Will not
allow cars to be run over connecting ROADS
where the direct current is employed.

aDuoSTTF0yS OF PROSPERITY.

The figures of American foreign trade which
were published day or two ago came at a
time of tragic fitness. The tomb had only just
closed its portals upon the dust Of him who had
been called 1.-The advance agent OF prosperity
when these statistics appeared, demonstrating
that that appellation had been amply justified.
for under his administration the nation had
enjoyed not only an unprecedented revival Of
prosperity. but an uninterrupted growth of 1t
without single fuctuation. until ii had reached
a point never before even approached The
figures in question those pertaining to our
foreign trade and especially to exports. 1t is
true that the volume of exports is not invari-
ably an index of domestic prosperity. But in
the present case circumstances make il safe TO
regard ii such. The details of the statistical
showing need not be repeated here. The salient
fact is that our exports, which were 5000, 900 900
q year five years ago. have been increasing
steadily until they are now 81, 800 600 600 a
year, an increase of more than 80 per cent 1t
is fitting tribute 10 the advance agent of
prosperity that such was the case, and that in
the last twelve months Of his life this country
exported more than in any twelve months before
IN all ts history.
That, however, is not the most important
consideration in the case. nor is it the most
precious legacy left to the nation by the late
President Prosperity has its perils as well as
its advantages, not the least of which is the
danger OF forgetfulness. The end gained men
are prone TO forget the means In the exulta-
ton in enjoyment they are in danger of forget
ting those things which are far more important
than mere enjoyment or the prosperity whence
il proceeds. In this most gratifying report OF
national prosperity there is. then an admonition
TO the nation against declining toward that evil
ond f,p xr-lf =

or sequence between wealth and decay. rich

There is in our richest state OF high prosperity
just as much need OF cultivating yirtuous
