m.-Aside from Amalgamated Copper
and the traction stocks there were few
changes in values worthy OF note In to-
days stock market. The action OF the
directors in failing to declare the usual
extra dividend on Copper, needless to
say. was responsible for the drop in
that stock at the opening fhe ensu
ing fluctuations were mainly the result
OF professional trading and manipula
ton. No reason was assigned for the
renewed interest in Traction stocks.

were not important excepting in the in

arbitration substantially retroactive by apply
ing it to pending controversies arising out of ac-
complished facts antecedent to the meeting OF
the congress, and pointed out that, in Chilis
opinion, that proposal violated the fundamental
law Of the congress- since the invitation TO the
congress had expressly mentioned arbitration
for the settlement OF disputes that might in
future arise. On these grounds, therefore, he
and his colleague, constituting the entire dele
cation from Chill, formally announced that they
should abstain from discussing voting this
project" They did not. as has incorrectly been
stated, withdraw from the congress altogether,
but merely remained silent throughout the dis
cussion Of arbitration. The congress then pro-
ceeded to consider the plan of arbitration.
Mexico dissented from some individual items
in It, but all the other States unanimously voted
for it, and with n few minor amendments it
adopted by the congress Unfortunately,
through failure to receive ratification and exe-
cuton, the scheme has ever since remained
dead letter.
1t is obvious that had Chill participated In
the action of the congress at that time upon
that subject, and had the plan Of arbitration as
adopted been ratified by her and by the other
powers and been put into practical effect, she
would have been compelled to submit to arbi-
tration not only the Interpretation and execu-
tion Of the treaty of Ancon, but also the whole
controversy with Peru over the possession OF
Tacna and africa, and the readjustment of her
boundaries with Peru and Bolivia We may
without offence assume that that was the chief
ground of her opposition to the whole scheme.
At the present time Chill does not object to the
consideration but insists that II shall apply only
to controversies which shall hereafter arise
from causes subsequent TO the treaty which
may be adopted. Such arbitration would not OF
course affect any material part Of her contro-
versy with Peru and Bolivia. In other words.
she is acting now, as she acted before, in behalf
of her own interests. It will be proper for any
nation which has not done the same to cast the
first stone at her for 1t. Nevertheless, 1t Is I'M
possible to avoid feeling a deep regret that she
does not feel sufficiently sure of the strength
and justice OF her cause to be willing to submit
it to the arbitration of either American or a
European tribunal. and that because of her per-
sistent refusal or failure TO fulfil treaty which
should have been fulfilled years ago. this tedious
controversy has been permitted to drag along to
the menace and probable detriment of what
should be most benefcent congress.

CITY SCHOOLS AND CITY COLLEGE.

The earnest request for larger appropriations
for the support of the College Of the City Of
New-York is readily understood. That college
has numerous alumni constituency. many of
whose members are men of influence, and it
has many ardent friends. There are those
who think the city should not only support it,
but should also expand it into fully fedged
university, comparable with Columbia with
New-York University. And seeing how much
the city is spending every year for this, that
or the other purpose, they do not see why 1t
should not give generous subsidy to that
college in order to compensate IT, as one of its
trustees has intimated, for its failure to re-
ceive endowments such as Columbia and New
York University have received.
There are two sides Of the question. Much
might be said, and said with pertnence and
truth, against the general principle of any such
municipal aid to q would-be institution Of high
est learning. There strong arguments
against using the money of the whole tax
paying public for such a purpose. Moreover.
the very fact that Columbia and New-York
University have received and are receiving so
rich endowments is itself an argument not for
but against giving from the public treasury a
similar income to the City College. For the
city thus to compete with private munificence
would be one OF the surest ways TO discourage
the latter and to repress public-sprited philan-
thropy.
There is, however, another simpler and more
direct argument, fundamental and TO many
convincing 1t is found in the fact that today
scores Of thousands of children are excluded
from common school privileges-nc, not merely
privileges, but rights simply because there is
not room to receive them. That dscreditable
state of affairs has prevailed to some extent
for md fha ap,ir
ton gratifying progress was made toward cor
recting ii, but under the rule of Tammany in
the last three years 1t has grown steadily
worse. And so long as that state of affairs
exists to any appreciable degree there should
be only one question In respect to public educa-
tion before the government Of the city, and
that is, how most speedily and most effectively
to correct that monstrous evil.
The primal duty of the city is in educational
matters to give to every child within It's borders
a common school education That duty is
absolute and indisputable, and it comes before
the duty-if indeed there be such a duty, which
many dispute-of giving to few of its youth
collegiate or university culture. We do not say
that the College Of the City Of New-York
should be abandoned No such proposition is
by any one seriously made. But there is much
ground for arguing that money should not be
appropriated for it which is needed to provide
common school facilities. 1t may be that the
city is financially able to do both, to provide
ample common schools and to support the
City College If so, it should demonstrate the
fact by doing the former first and until that
is done. until provision is made for common
school facilities for every child in the city, it
may be well to defer schemes for Increasing
the taxpayers subsidy to the City College

RAILROADS AND CANALS.

The digging Of new inland canals is not now
engaging particular attention within the bor-
ders of the United States. Few plans for enter
prises of that kind are much discussed here
at this time. But on the Continent of Europe
several canal schemes Of imposing dimensions
do not lack promoters this year. an artificial
waterway, with minimum depth of seventeen
feet, between the Baltic and the Black seas is
suggested, and reports are heard that this canal
may be excavated either by the Russian Gov
ernment or by private syndicate of capital
lists New-York feels only a languid interest
in such an Old World undertaking, but the de-
velopment Of canals within the limits OF this
republic may by no means have reached its
zenith, although certain long established chan
nels for interior navigation are now sparsely
used.
The railroads are accomplishing wonderful
things for the prosperity Of this country, but
competition in the moving Of bulky freight
among the States by water is not likely to be
given up for many year, and perhaps the day
will never come when the locks and the levels
will be deserted.
New-York tribune., 1901-10-07
OYER THE BEHRING STRAIT.

In the far distant State of Washington the
Transalaskan Railway Company has been in
corporated, with a proposed capitalization OF
$50.0OO,0OO. It's projectors say they intend to
build q line of railroad in Alaska to connect
with the Transsiberian system by steam ferry
service across Behring Strait. 1t may safely
be predicted that many year will pass before
the $50 100000 Of capital will be raised for such
a scheme before the new company's cars and
ferryboats will be running and before dividends
will be paid on the stock 1t is not likely that
the promoters of this ambitious enterprise will
succeed in obtaining large subscriptions from
conservative investors in New-York.
The Russian Government had what it consid-
cred good and sufficient reasons of its own for
constructing the line across Siberia Not for
many q generation would private capital have
embarked upon so colossal an undertaking In
so vast region, so thnly settled, and in the
face of obstacles so stupendous. Unless the
population of Siberia increases enormously the
railroad through Northern Asia must inevitably
be operated for an indefinite period at heavy
annual loss. But its possible value to the huge
Russian Empire for military purposes may. per-
haps. be incalculable In later years. Where
could the proposed transalaskan trunk line Sc
cure passengers and freight enough for its cars
and its steamships to pay even the most modest
profit?
New-York tribune., 1901-10-07

be advisable for American stewards to be as
watchful and alert as the British stewards were
when they ruled of Reiff. Several jockeys now
riding here deserve ruling off much as Re;f
did, and more than two of them have been doing
things recently which should have brought them
under the ban. Officials on American tracks are
in most cases excessively indulgent and easy
going. They should take note Of the fact that
careful observers Of certain features of the sport
are becoming more suspicious week after week,
and criticise more and more sharply the obvious
neglect to punish certain turf rascals as they
should be punished. The outlook is now encour-
aging, but 1t will be spoiled unless the rigorous
discipline practised by the English stewards is
followed here.
