NEW YORK YACHT CLUB CRUISE
Fleet to Make Initial Run to Newport
Today.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Aug. 4.-The
greeting of Commodore Lewis Cass
Ledyard to eighty-seven captains on
board the flagship Corona this after
noon formally opened the New York
yacht club cruise of 1902. Grouped about
the flagship at this time were over 100
OF the finest yachts in American
waters. The racing element was well
represented with the three seventy
tooters, Rainbow, Mineola and Yankee,
and the Sixty-footers Weetamoe and
Neolo, and the two crack schooners
Elmina and Muriel.
Tomorrow morning this great feet
Will get under way for the initial run
for the cruise to Newport, a distance
of forty miles, with the start at Sarah's
Ledge, at the entrance of this harbor,
and the finish at Brenton's Reef light
ship.
AT half past o'clock four flags were
hoisted on the flagship, requesting the
presence of all the captains on board,
and half an hour. later came the prin-
cipal event of the day. the meeting on
the after deck of the Corona.
Fleet Captain w. B. Duncan, who
managed the Constitution last year,
was in waiting to make the formal
presentation to Commodore Ledyard.
After a few minutes general chat
the meeting was called to order by the
commodore.
The fleet this year will go around
Cape Cod, and the regatta committee
planned two courses over Nantucket
shoals. The meeting decided to sail
the shorter one, making the distance
from the start at Vineyard Haven to
the finish off Provincetown seventy
nine miles. Tonight all the steam
yachts are brilliantly illuminated,
while on shore piazzas and lawns are
crowded with gay throngs.

MOSQUITO VS.. SCIENCE.

1t was a pleasing vision which
science held out to humanity some
months ago, when the assurance was
given all of US who read the news
papers that the end of the peace de-
stroying mosquito was at hand. What
mattered to us, then, that a large pro-
portion of the proboscidean division of
the order diptera were of the disease
injecting variety, so long as q. world
without mosquito bites was opened up
before our view. And it was all so
simple, as, indeed all scientific ex-
plantations are. All we had to do was
to organize hunting parties, to wade
through the morasses, coal oil can in
hand, carefully depositing the fluid on
the larva of the family culicidea. or
otherwise amusing ourselves with the
propagation, rather than the destruc-
ton of sun fish and other submarine
enemies of the winged demons.
But, alas, for all our fond Illusions.
the record of the mosquito during the
summer coming to close all too soon
shows that the mosquito has taken on
new life, and that he has figuratiyeIv
snapped his proboscis at science, and
told the world of lakeside sojourners
to go to.
New Jersey has added to the horrors
OF domicile within its borders by pro-
ducing new order of mosquito, which
disdains to appeal to the siren char
acteristics of the species. but which

proceeds to business without the for
Milwaukee, that famous community
in which the mosquitoes victim has
been given to drinking large quaint
ties of the comforting beer in which
loss of the life fluid, has found that the
invigorating stein has during the past
few months only helped to provide
additional fluid for the consumption of
this human pest. AS we are told that
in the boys of Alaska the genus cule2
has been known to devour dogs and
human beings, so in the swamps of
the lakeside in Milwaukee, even the
heroic remedy of the smudge has been
innocuous, and all activity in the open
air had to be suspended for a pro-
longed period so as TO promote the
enforced migration of the mosquito.
Even in our greatly blessed sister
community the mosquito has been in
evidence to an extent never before
thought of. With the malevolent in
stinct which we all identify with the
insect, it's attacks on the Minneapoli-
tan cuticle have been directed of late,
against those of the natives who,
dwelling on the sinful condition of
the community at large, were devoting
themselves under the auspices of the
Advent Christian church to open air
gatherings in the practice of the
Christian religion. So ruthless indeed,
were the attacks of the pest that the
prayerful souls who gathered within
the canvas walls of the tents erected
for divine worship at Twenty third
street and Lyndale avenue North, were
obliged to abandon their righteous
ways, and fly to screened enclosures.
Thus it is that the mosquito defies
science, and that the credulity of hui
man nature once more receives cruel
shock. The mosquito is apparently
with us to stay, and science is once
more called on to Yindicate itself
against the pessimism which is born
of suffering.

COUNT ToLsTols PLEA.

The victory of right over might was
never more strongly emphasized than
through the recent declaration of Count
Tolstoi to the Russian government,
urging that he, not his followers,
should be punished for certain infrac-
tons of existing law which are directly
traceable to his teachings. In Tolstoi's
letter to the Russian authorities he
uses. the following language:
81 alone am the guilty one in connection
with the matter, for | write books which
propagate IDEAS which are regarded as a
danger to the state. If the government
considers it necessary to suppress by
force that to which it objects, it should
strike direct at the origin of the evil; that
is, at me, especially as l declare l shall
never cease to do that which the gov
eminent regards as harmful, but what is
for me duty of God and my conscience.
1t is not easy to agree with Tolstoi's
philosophy, that the author of the
wrong should alone be punished. The
more rational view is that if either de-
serves punishment, both merit and
should receive it. The failure of the
Russian government to modest Count
Tolstoi is due no doubt to it's accept
ance of the belief, which he negatives
so strenuously, that public opinion
would be seriously aroused by the pun
ishment by Imprisonment or otherwise
of the great writer.
The Russian government stands at
the parting of the ways. The autocracy
of the past may be revived and main
foi ba ;nC Of
may be liberalized, at least to an ex-
tent corresponding with the admins
tration of national affairs in countries
like Germany, Austria and Italy, where
the parliamentary system is in opera
ton, however restrictedly.
The present position of Russia is ut
terly anomalous. It's recognized friend
ship for this republic the action Of it's
ruler in promoting The Hague tribunal,
it's construction of railroad across
the continent to the shores of the
Boring sea, its manumission Of the
serfs-all these indicate that Russia
seeks to assume toward it's people
some other relation than that of an oil
garchy. It's failure to imprison Toll
stoi has no more significance than that
it is not thought safe by Russian au-
thority to show open hostility toward
one of its greatest men who has
thought fit to identify his great intel
lect with the cause of the oppressed
masses of his native land. Its failure
to utilize the great abilities and in
fluence of Tolstoi in the solution Of the
great problems of state which are
awaiting solution, and which must be
solved on some modern basis of civic
administration, if Russia is to adj
vance, merely shows that Russian au-
thority stands in the pathway of the
real progress of the country and it's
people.
1t is difficult to understand how any
nation identified with modern progress,
even to the extent to which Russia
has become identified under the rule of
the present car, can continue to treat
as criminal the movement of it's peo-
pie for popular rights, whose only ex-
ponent known to the world today in
Russia is Count Leo Tolstoi.

A NEGLECTED REFORM.

During the last session of the legis-
lature measure was enacted into law
which was designed to place the titles
OF the owners of land present and pros
pectively beyond all thought of sue
cessful contest. The enactment is
known as the Torrens law. It was
passed as result of years of discus
sion and advocacy in the public nress
Where enforced it inevitably avoids all
possibility of uncertainty or conflict re-
garding the ownership of land by it's
BONA hide purchasers. 1t is simple in it's
provisions and effective in it's purpose.
1t involves no expense which it not re-
ahzed TO the purchaser under the old
plan of land transfer while for the
purpose of the purchaser it substitutes
a guaranty by the state of the title
for all the uncertainties of the law cun-
der the old conditions.
The Torrens law has been contested
in the supreme court of this state
and its cOnstitutionality and general
desirability for its purposes has been
confirmed by that court in unmistak
able terms. 1t represents a reform in
operation in the state of Illinois and
also IN the state of Massachusetts
among American commemorative
while every enlightened country in
Europe, together with the British nos
sessions, like the Australias and Man
itoba, are in full possession of its prac-
teal benefits. In Minnesota the law in
its operation is confined to Ramsey.
Hennepin and st. Louis counties. and
It's enforcement remains optional with
the person seeking title to land.
Until the men engaged in the real
estate business undertook to promote
the enactment of the measure it failed
Of acceptance, but when it's advantages
were placed clearly before the legisla-
ture through the Intervention of
those engaged in that business it's
enactment became at once assured. So
II was in the city of Chicago. The pos
session OF the system by that city is
due almost entirely to the initiative of
the real estate exchange. Since the
enactment of the Torrens system no
effort whatever has been put forward
In any direction among us to bring an
Understanding of its beneficial effects
TO the knowledge of the general public.

given system results, through the pop

Bio Floating Dock.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 4.-The
navy department will soon call for bids
for q huge floating dock to accommo-
date a 16,000-ton battleship to be
built in the United States and fioated
over to the Philippines. This will be
one of the largest floating dry docks
ever constructed.
Admiral Endicott, of the bureau Of
yards and docks, has about completed
the specifications under which the
huge structure will be built. Whether
it will be towed across the Pacific
or across the Atlantic, through the
Suez canal, will depend upon the place
of it's construction, but in any event
the towing of this gigantic steel struc-
ture such a distance will be a formid-
able undertaking.

ular ignorance of the measure in pre-
venting its coming into general oper-
alton.
Some initiative is needed in order
to bring the merits OF the system to
the general understanding. AS long as
its adoption remains optional and no
effort is made to familiarize the public
with its advantages no doubt the law
will continue for a much longer time
to be as it is, dead letter. The courts
have done their full duty in the prem
ises. They have complied with the
provisions of the law necessary to it's
going into practical operation. The ex-
aminer of titles provided for by the law
has been chosen in each of the three
counties, and the machinery for the en-
forcement of the law can be put into
general operation at once. Yet the num-
Der of registered land titles called into
existence in any one of the counties is
thus far very few indeed.
Something is necessary to be done,
and it appears plain that active work
on behalf of the real estate dealers of
the three cities of st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth is the one thing requisite
to have the Torrens law put into oper-
alton. 1t represents so great an adj
vance in simplicity, security and econ
omy on the old plan, that unless some
affirmative action is taken in the mean
time it may become necessary, as a
conclusive test, to appeal to the next
state legislature to make the provis-
ions of the law obligatory at least in
some one, if not all, of the counties af-
fected by it.
