suffered severely. In a number OF instances
however the managers have been too ienient
toward careless owners of firetraps and toward
the men vino negligent in their watchtui-
ness over insured stocks of goods. In other
cases they have enforced excessive schedules
against buildings of the best construction ana
against cautious and prudent owners.
Such methods have provoked criticism ana
complaint. Every insurance company ought TO
offer the strongest encouragement to the rals-
ing OF such structures the Tribune Building
which is thoroughly tireproof as it is poSsi-
BILE to make any great home of business, the
centre of manifold and diversified activities.
Since this substantial pile was opened to ten
ants there have been two three small fires
within its walls, but none of those fires could
possibly spread from story to story. Every one
of them eXtinguished with comparatively
small damage and with no danger at all to any
occupant in any part Of the building.
If ali the tall structures in this city were as
completely fireprOof and strong and secure
as the Tribune Building. the insurance COM
panles and the fire departments might not have
many anxious nights many troubled days,
and might lower rather than increase their
rates.

HENRY WHITE TO SUCCEED MIR MEYER.

Washington. April 1 (SpeciaD-ln all Likelihood
President Roosevelt will appoint Henry White, at
present first secretary of the American Embassy
London. to succeed George Won l.. Meyer Am
bassador Italy about July l. 1t is not probable
that the change will occur before that time, 1t Is
thought as Mr.. Meyer has some diplomatic en-
gagements in London in connection with the coro-
nation ceremonies
Henry White is one of the best known members

a young man. born in Maryland. of an influential
family. His stepfather DR. John Buckier. OF

the summer of 1883. when he was appointed second

lowing he transferred with similar rank 10
London In March, 1856, he was promoted 10 be 1rst

MHAT Is 70 EOLLOMP

The creditable revolt OF a number of police
against the corrupt system in which they
ave been involved appears 10 he regarded in
ONE quarters as an indictment Of the present
funieipal administration In general and the de-
aITment 10 which they belong in particular.
hus ii is said that when Mayor Low declared
s.veral weeks ago that the excise law was en-
,rced TO the limit of practicability he was seri-
usly in error. as this incident now shows, and
iat Commissioner Partridge has reason 10 he
prtifed by sudden act Of independence which
had done nothing 10 bring about. But il
f.ems TO us that such comments betray an
riendly temper rather than clear comprehen-
-ion of the actual state of affairs
The members Of the force who have wisely,
and believe from conscientious motives in
most instances, resolved not 10 give their indis-
pensable support any longer TO the fraudulent
practices established by Tammany Hall are not
new men, or men whose natural proclivities
have undergone a sudden change. They have
presumably always been secretly opposed to the
system Of which they were part. and would
have been glad to escape an irksome servitude
long ago; but while Tammany was IN power
they did not dare 10 declare their hostility and
assert their independence Now, however, they
have become convinced that they are In no dam
ger of retribution; that they will be fully sus-
tained by Mayor and Commissioner in their
present course and that the blow they have
struck at the system will produce practical re-
suits Of value TO the community. Selfish con-
siderations may have prevailed in some in
stances. but there is reason TO believe that Il
sincere desire TO serve the city was the chief
eauss OF this formidable revolt II such is the
fact Il Is unfair and unreasonable 10 pretend
that no cart Of the credit belongs to the admin

THE NEW COLLECTOR.

The nomination of Mr.. Stranahan rs Collector
of the Port of New York having been confirmed
on Monday he will be ready within day or
two TO file his bond and take charge of his I'M
nortant office There Is every reason 10 believe
that the new incumbent will prove entirely COM
petent in ali respects TO fill n place which de-
mands excellent abilities and a large endow-
ment of tact and discretion. He unquestionably
hecins his administration with the confidence
and goodwill OF those who have business 10
transact at the Custom House and of the gen
eral public. His personal acquaintance Is eX-
tensive and his reputation for talents and IN
tegrity is such as to assure him n cordial vel
come TO his new field Of activity. His expert
ence in the service Of the State of New-f ork
has been legislative rather than executive. but.
nevertheless his career at Albany has furnished
ample evidence that he possesses the qualities
most essential 10 an efficient performance OF
the duties he is about to undertake
Nr Stranahan has undOubted capacity for po-
1itical mana cement but his devotion 10 the In
tprpsts of his party will not lead him 10 forget
the obligations which he incurs in accepting a
conspicuous federal office There Is no danger
that his administration will be marred and en-
harrassed by an excessive partisanship. while
It is 70 be expected that his native common
sense eQuahe temper and cool judgment will
make the difficult task before him as congenial
rs II is honorable.

The Morning News Office,
Friday, Aug. Is.
The cotton markets were without
marked feature to-day. Owing to tie
tendency among the long element to
take profits the market reacted. New
York closed 4G6 points lower, and New
orleans 3G7 lower.
showers are needed all through the
Atlantic or Gulf states, as we'll as the
Mississippi valley, and light rains now
would also be beneficial in Southwest
Texas, says the New York Evening
Post. These conditions, together with
the oversold condition of the market
and the leading operator changing over
from an aggressive position on the
hear side to moderately bullish for a
turn, has caused considerable nervous
ness among the rank and file of oper-
ators, the majority of whom have been
bearish on the expectation that the
prospect of a record-breaking crop
would so depr2ss general sentiment
and restrict purchases that all the next
crop options would by this time drag
down to cents. Instead there has been
q gradual improvement (since the last
government crop report making the
condition S1.a per cent. was announced)
of 40 points on August and 80 and 20
on the new crop options. Specula live
conditions are just now favorable to
the markets further improvement, but
with good rains occurring and lower
temperatures sentiment would change
again TO the bear side, as the damage
that has been done is not sufficient to
materially change the prospect that
the crop this year will turn out over
II COO 900 bales.
Turpentine closed quiet at 441a, and
resins firm at quotations. Resume of
the markets as follows:

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet with prices unchanged
to points lower, this being in re-
Spouse TO unfavorable cables from the
Liverpool market and under selling by
the room longs. Then came rally on
covering by near month shorts ard
some new crop month bears, based on
the fresh appearance of Wall street
buying orders for January, which con-
Veyed the impression that prices were
to be advanced again by sheer force
However. the improvement was short
lived and by midday the whole list had
again worked below the closing of yes
terday. While several attempts were
made later in the session to rally the
distant months, scattering lines of long
cotton continued to come on the mar
ket and prices slowly eased of, jan
uary to 7.76 and August $40 The late
business was almost entirely profess
slonal and small at that. The private
crop reports We're very conflicting and
did much to confuse the trade here.
The weather news was not a factor
either way. The late Liverpool cables
reflected more or less willingness to be
guided by developments in New York.
The local market closed quiet with
prices metz to 6 points lower. Total
sales estimated at 10000 bales.
