e.NOTHING DOING' AT THE HAGUE.

The commendable appointment of Mr.. Oscar
S. Straus as an American member of the In
ternatiOnal Tribunal of Arbitration at The
Hague In place of the late ex- President Harri-
son. will serve to call renewed attention to an
| institution which promised great things for the
world, hut which thus far has apparently per-
formed nothing. The high hopes aroused by
the congress and the resulting treaty at The
Hague are still fresh in mind. 1t was beyond
doubt an inspiring spectacle, that of twenty-siX
sovereign nations voluntarily entering into a
compact for the maintenance of peace and es-
tablishing court to which their differences
might be referred for amcable adjustment
There were those expecting all things in an
hour" who forthwith pictured the nations of
the world standing in a queue before the doors
of that tribunal, eagerly awaiting chance TO
submit their controversies to it. Yet now, two
years and half after the congress- the docket
of the court remains blank. Not one single
case has been submitted for arbitration.
There have. meanwhile, been numerous dis
putes and dissensons IN the world, even among
the signatOry powers Of The Hague treaty.
Great Britain and France had one. over con-
f1icting claims in Africa. They settled it them
selves, however, in a friendly fashion, without
appeal to the court. which of course was a
commendable thing 10 do. A number of nations
had serious controversy with China, but there
was scarcely serious thought of submitting
it TO arbitration. 1t was not an arbitrable mat
ter. France had a dispute with Turkey, which
yerged upon breach of the peace. Yet there
was no talk OF arbitration. We do not know
that the latter was suggested to the dispuants,
and have no idea that it would have been
accepted. The only case which was strongly
urged for submission to the court was that of
the Transvaal. and it for obvious reasons
could not thus be submitted. The various dis
putes in South and Central America have SINH
larly not been presented to the court those
States not having participated in the congress
or its treaty.
Are we, therefore, 10 regard the work of the
congress as a failure? By no means 1t is
reasonable TO believe that ii has had benefi-
cent moral effect, impellng the nations TO
think more of justice and less of war. 1t is
the court will have practical work TO
do, and will do il. We must remember
how reluctant individual man is TO
surrender his personal sovereignty. Much more
reluctant, for obvious and fitting reasons Is
nation to surrender even 1.-THE of its sover-
eighty. though to a tribunal which it itself has
In part established. But it will all come In
time Nor does 1t appear that matters would be
mended by making arbitration compulsory in
stead OF voluntary. For who is 10 exercise
the compulsion? Suppose China had asked that
the powers submit to arbitration their claims
against her. how could she have compelled

ELECTRICITY IN THE TTyyEL

By their action yesterday the Central directors
give promise of a marked Improvement in the
conditions existing IL and below the tunnel.
The first great difficulty 10 be dealt with was
the obscurity resulting from steam and smoke
A resort TO electric traction was obviously the
best remedy. and This has been adopted for the
suburban service. Local trains are by far the
most numerous, and hence the number OF loco
motives employed to bring people into the
Forty-second-st. station and take them out
again will be greatly reduced. Something will
be gained too, by limiting these engines to
the middle tracks Of the tunnel and thus facli-
fating the escape of their fumes and vapOr.
The production OF steam cannot be avoided so
long as the present system of traction is re-
tanned for the expresses. but if hard coal were
burned instead of soft the smoke could be
abolished at once
Provision has also been made for overcoming
the second serious evil. the congestion of the
yard. BY putting local trains on a loop the
necessity for switching them is abolished and
far greater freedom of entry and departure in
sured. 1t should be possible TO handle twice
as large traffic as now. and with even greater
safety, when the new system is in operation
Another great advantage of the loop is that
it renders the employment of the third rail
much more feasible than before
These concessions which are doubtless more
spontaneous and premeditated than might be
suspected are certainly very gratifying The
Tribune has repeatedly pointed out the advan-
tages Of the two projects now formally ap-
proved, and naturally rejOices over the triumph
Of its convictions. The execution of the new
policy will call for a large expenditure by the
Iailroad company, but the improved facilities
mean a more remunerative traffic whereas the

ssary changes are being effected in the tracks

guarantee Of safer and more comfortable trans
portation in the future

A FORESTRY AMENDMENT.

Pursuant to Governor Odells advice, Sen
ator Brown has proposed an amendment to the
constitution permitting the legislature 10 au-
thorize the sale and removal Of soft timber OF
more than ten inches in diameter standing on
State land in the Adrondacks and providing
that the proceeds of such sales shall be set
apart and used exclusively for the care and
extension of the Forest Preserve There is
reason TO think that such a modification of
existing restrictions is now safe and that the
consequences would be advantageous. AS we
have repeatedly said the rigid prohibitions af-
fecting the States wooded domain which be-
came part of the organic law In 1894 were
advocated not because they were supposed to
belong to a scientific system OF forestry, but
because experience had justified the belief that
they were essential at that time TO prevent
continuance of the devastation which had al
ready gone far and threatened a veritable
lamity Since then public opinion has been
enlightened. the necessity of preserving the
forests has been pretty generally recognized,
and it may be reasonably hoped that a plan
of cutivating instead of neglectng them would
not lead to q revival of old abuses
There is no doubt that II would be beneficial
TO the forests to prune them tudiciously and
that they might be made to yield a consider
able revenue for the purchase of additional
timbered land now outside the limits OF the
reserve. 1t is desirable on all accounts that
the States holdings should be increased, and
If that can be done by means OF the profits
accruing from their administration so much
the better. 1t is certainly desirable that an
amendment directed TO that end should be sub
mitted TO discussion. The process of altering
the constitution forbds hasty action, and by
the time the proposed change comes before the
people they viii presumably be ready TO accept
or reject it ntelligently.
