THE OLD STORY

st. Petersburg dispatch mentions
many rumors of coming reform in Rus
sian administration to be announced in a.
rescript by the czar, who is said to be
intent upon carrying out the program
of the late General Loris Melikoff
The Melikoff program was to increase
the prosperity of the moujiks or peas
antry by notifications of administration
and by positive betterment His investi-
cations proved the inadequacy of the
zemstvo or provincial administration and
he argued that so long as the peasantry,
peaceful, Industrious and kind-h hearted,
can be made more comfortable and be re-
lieved from the interferences of the
cars functionaries, civil and military
there would be no disturbances of revo-
lutionary character on their part.
The program of Melikoff did not ma
terialize because Gear Alexander II. was
assassinated by the nihilists. The inter
esting feature of the present unrest in
Russia is the uprising of the moujiks

lence.
The provincial assemblies OF Russia
which some writer's refer to as evidence
of a high degree of autonomy within the
autocracy, are so limited in their actor
that their power seems to be only that O.
increasing taxation. The governors are
the supreme masters of all the provincial
institutions and the zemstvo is little
more than branch of the central ad
ministration, which, to illustrate its IA
| reaching power, actually refuses the
earnest petitions Of zemstvos to lirni
| the number. of saloons and close then
on Sundays and holidays. 1t is said tina
there has been more leniency in this re
! spect in recent years and that the govern
nent, while heretofore practically fore
,ng the people to consume brandy for tn
| AXE of the revenue therefrom, is en-
aouraging the temperance movement.
| Just before the assassination Of tn
| 5zar Alexander II. it was reported tina

A Submarine Success,

"A Submarine success.
April 29-With not even the tips of the flag
mast showing above water the submarine tor
pedo boat Fulton slipped by Sandy Hook yes
terday morning on it's way to Washington on
the first ocean voyage ever made by sub
marine vessel.
1t was a remarkable performance. For ten
miles down the Jersey coast the little cigar
shaped boat cut through the water like a
fish, It was the longest under water trip the
boat has made. A strong-eyed man with the
finest telescope could not have seen the slight
est sign of the boat, except at the last, when
the two flag 1nasts were sticking two feet out
of water to prove how perfectly Fulton could
go at full speed and keep an even, certain
depth. The boat was thirty feet beneath the
surface most of the time.
1t was just o'clock when the Fulton
sneaked out of the Morse shipyard at the foot
of Fifty sixth street, Brooklyn. The trip
down the bay and through the narrows was
made slowly, and it was daylight when the
Fulton neared Fort Hancock.
AS the Fulton passed the Hook it suddenly
dropped out of sight. To one on shore it
seemed to sink like a plummct of lead but
one nearer could see that the boat dipped its
head downward and, like whale diyed be-
meath the surface.
| Then it was that the ten-mtle submarine
run was made. 1t was the only long. under
water run planned on the voyage TO wash
ington. After it the Fulton rose to the sur
face and continued with about one-tenth of
| its body out CT the water.
The Fulton was conveyed by the yacht
Mindora and the searching-tug Storm King.

A New Jersey presbytery yesterday
granted candidate for the ministry a
license to preach, even though he thought
that Adam was a myth. The presbytery
wisely held that the main thing for it to
consider was the individuality of the man.
What man IS as a minister is more i'm
portant than his theory about what hap
pened before the dawn of history. A man
may believe in Adam and be a-poor
preacher.

private orders, have ceased to be depend
ent upon the government for help, and by
reason of their ungrateful conduct are no
longer entitled to any helpful considera-
ton. All of the big shipyards that bid for
government work, Including the Cramps.
and Newport News company on the At
slantic. and the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco on the Pacific, are in this COM
bine. There is little doubt that the con-
tracts have been assigned among members
of the combine by private arrangement,
the bids being mere dummies. They have.
taken contracts at exorbitant figures,
have never hestatedSto mulct the govern
ment at every turn and have, in some
cases, done very inferior work. Naval
vessels have frequently been delayed in
construction Id favor of work on private
vessels, and in many ways the companies
have both injured and insulted the gov
eminent
Even If the government shall not build
many of its own ships it is highly impor-
tant that it shall build a few as an ex-
pertinent. 70 The fact is the naval officers
do not know what it costs to build bat
tleship or an armored cruiser Neither
has ever been built in government yard
Consequently the department is at the
mercy Of the contractor, not only on orr
ginal bids, but in the charges for changes
in plans made during construction All
OF the minor work done at the Mare Island
yard, including the building of the moni-
tor Monadnock, indicates that saving of
70 per cent can be made in the original
cost, to say nothing of the saving on
smaller repair bills resulting from supe-
rior construction.
Inc original cost of the monitor Mon
terey, built by the Union Iron Works, was
$l872,777; that of the Monadnock, $1,414,-
zoo. Inc original boilers of the Monterey
had to have a new set of tubes and later
were replaced altogether. The Monad-
nock's boilers have as yet shown no signs
OF wear. In building the Monadnocll the
contractors profits were divided among
the navy yard Workmen who, by the way
worked only eight hours day, and yet
| they turned out a better vessel at half :
million less cost than the famous Union
IRON Works, builders of the splendid Ore.
gon. The Monadnocks repair bill to date
has been $69,479; the Monterey's $133, 219
The contractors profit on the Oregon

shoWered on private builders.

Fatal Railway Wreck.
While speeding on it's way to New Yori
yesterday, the Hackettstown express, on the
Lackawanna railroad, was wrecked just out
side Dover N. j., by the blowing up OF the
engines boiler. George Trimmer, the ensi-z
neer, and Joseph Mayberry, the fireman. wera
killed instantly, and dozen or more OF the
passengers were injured slightly.
The engine turned complete somersault,
and the first coach broke its couplings and
ran past 1T, toppling over on its side. The
second coach was also overturned and the
third derailed. Passengers in the last car
were able to escape without difficulty. as 1t did
no. leave the track. Those in the other
coaches had to- climb through the windows,
as all other means of exit were blocked. Tho
general impression at first was that there
had been head-on collision.
The explosion is supposed to have been
caused by the crown-plate separating the
water from the fire and becoming red hot.
This would indicate that the water in the
boiler had been too low, although the cons
ductor asserts that a stop for water was made
at Dover.

Sat Cripple Creek at the Bijou.
:, sat Cripple Creek melodrama which
has a thrill in every minute, and in which all
the commandments OF the decalcgue are
broken, either obviouslyso or by implication, is
at the Bijou this week. Like other produc-
lions Of its class, serious consideration
of the play is impossible. There are. people
hundreds of them in each celnnlunity-to
whom such plays as AT Cripple Creek are
the best of dramatic pabulum.~ and SO long
as they willingly pay their money to see this
sort OF attraction, just so long will mana gers
continue to put such plays upon the stage
From the standpoint of the man who makes
it rule to visit the theater every time melo
drama is the bill, '.At Cripple Creek has
much to commend it. Firearms are in evil
dence most Of the time. The hero exhibits
a commemorate disregard Tor personal danger
The villains. unusually vilIaincus IN this
instance, are thwartad continuously there is
the wronged and repentant woman; the per.
secuted heroine: the little child whose parent
age remains a mystery until the last act; The
comedy villain who afterwards turns in
former; and g. comparative novelty in tbs
shape of a good Indian who is Tar from
being dead one. Moreover. the autho,
counts that five minutes lost which presents
no climax for the yociferous approval O
| the gallery.
Several Of the lines have done duty in melo
| drama so long that the memory of man run
