(Continued from First Page) showing a great number of cases where engineers had run past danger signals, and had given the smoke and steam in the tunnel as an excuse. One engin- eer's report said that he missed the distance signal, run by the green pre- cautionary light, and a whole train length beyond the danger signal, be- fore being able to bring his train to @ stop. On December > 1901, another en- eineer reported that ''it was so smoky and fog9y in the tunnel that l just missed the signals" Another reported that he had been four minutes late; that he had run by the distance sig nals, and that he could not help run ming past the danger signals. There were other cases where torpedoes had failed to explode. These reports had been mad to MT. Franklin and were brought to the inquest on an order by the district attorney.
 On December 25 James w. Minden, an engineer, reported that he ran by all the signals from One Hundred and Tenth street to One Hundred and Twenty fifth street without seeing them. c. c. Paulding of the law de- rartment of the railroad company in- terrupted by saying quite loudly: l "That was not in the tunnel, MT. Jerome" Another engineer, named ! Rafsky, who Mir. Franklin admitted, was an old and reliable and competent man. reported that on one occasion a green caution signal to him appeared white, and that he consequently put on steam after seeing it, and as result ran past the home signal at Eighty sixth street The signal man supple mented the report by reporting that the
 conditions at that point were so bad l that mistakes could easily be made, MT. Franklin said that the only thing ] done in that case was to renrimand the
 1 engineer. Here Coroner Scholer broke
 in to say:
 Are you aware, MT. Franklin, that
 when smoke passes over a green light l 1t appears white in the distance?" The | witness said he was aware of that.
 Are you not aware of the fact that
 some railroads have abolished the green light as danger signal?" T

HTS FIRST EXPERIENCE.

There is 8 man over in North Indian apolis who has just been having his first experience in many years in burn ing soft coal. Being of a practical and economical turn of mind says the h. dianapolis News he arranged to heat the rooms upstairs in his cottage by means of a stove pipe extending through the ceiling of the room on the first floor with ad rum on the second floor. This thing had been worked by others, and he saw no reason why ne should not use the plan. But he had forgotten one characteristic of soft coal that of producing soot His fire work ed beautifully the first day and was all right the second; but he began to nave some doubts on the third, and the fourth h brought the conviction that there was something wrong. An investigation showed that his pipes were clogging with soot.
 His wife had been an enthusiastic alder and abettor in his scheme of heat ing, but now she was on the other side, and remembered all sorts of dire proph- ecies she had made-not to his recollec- tion howeyer--of its failure. The idea of removing the pipes every few days tn clean them was not to be thought of. But he was a man of resource, and be- sides, there lurked in his mind the rec ollection of his fathers method of cearing a stovepipe. This was to wrap small quantity of gunpowder in newspaper, throw it into the fire and hold the door shut.
 The proper amount to use was tr1- -ls file hazy in his mind, but that did not 1 deter him. q will try small quantity

ney an opening for an aggressive line of questioning.
 Q-Here is one man who went by danger signals without having an eX- cuse to offer. and the only thing done to him was to tell him, Don't let 1t occur again?" A--Yes; he was care ful man. He could not see the signals, and did his best to pick up the lights I would not cut off the head of an en- gineer on such provocation.
 Q.-Is that your idea of discipline, sir? In a case where 32S schedule trains and thousands and thousands of passengers are concerned? A.-Weu, he was picking his way slowly; he could not see the lights.
 Q.-He had lost his sense of locality, his sense of distances and relations, as engineers often do under certain cir oumstances; is that not so? A.--He knew where he was, all right.
 Q.-Well, he knew that he was In the county of New York, and he knew he was in the tunnel. but that is not enough. Ale knew where he was within one hundred feet, and he found the signal and stopped,
 "Yes, he found 1t before he ran into something to stop him"
 There were great number Of re- ports, and only eighteen were put In evidence.
 "All these reports were from 1901" said the district attorney, Have there been similar reports in other years?'
 Yes, sir
 The district attorney instructed MT. Franklin to bring those reports on Monday. This concluded the examina- ton of MT. Franklin for the present.

much weight with congress. They seem
to be largely prompted by personal IN
siderations, which tends to weaken
them. Besides, according to Secretary
Root, General Miles is mistaken in his
view regarding the section of the bill to
which he principally objects. the secre-
tary stating that under this section the
lieutenant general would have greatly
enlarged powers in army management
instead of being restricted in his func-
lions. But however this may be, the
duty Of congress is to consider what will
be best for the military establishment,
regardless of how any individual in that
establishment may be affected. 1t is not
to be supposed that there is any disposi-
ton on the part Of the secretary Of war
to do injustice to General Miles or any
officer of the army and certainly Presi-
dent Roosevelt would do nothing to the
detriment of the commanding general Of
the army. The bill for a general army
staff has been framed with great care.

has shown to be desirable and there

CHAPTER

Our amiable contemporary, the World
Herald, is still digging away at dead
issues and firing it's guns at Asiatic tar
gets. 1t refuses to be satisfied with the
assurance that the ratification Of the
Treaty of Paris compelled every loyal
American to ~acquiesce In the annexation
of the Philippines and the support Of the
effort of Mckinley to restore tranquility
to the people of the archipelago under
the Stars and Stripes.
The long-range warrior has sought to
impugn the sincerity of The Bee by a
Philippine annexation that appeared in
its columns nine days after the United
States senate had voted to ratify the
treaty. The Bee has no disposition to
seek a vindication from the soft i'm
parchment through technicalities a la
Meserve, but 1t would remind the popo-
| cratic Dogberry that the actual rati1ca-
ton of the Treaty of Paris did not take
place until March 10, 1899, when the
| Spanish Cortes closed the chapter. That
was more than a month after the
articles quoted from The Bee had ap-
peared.
With this explanation of an explana-
| ton the whole discussion is closed sc
far as The Bee is concerned. We have
neither time nor inclination to seek ex-
ercise with the pick and shovel in po-
litical ~graveyards.

Russia. 1t is noted, moreover, that the
discomfort, which was formerly confined to
the large cities, has now spread to the
smaller towns and even the villages. This
lie due largely to the policy Of the govern
ment. Men suspected Of disaffection have
been expelled In large numbers from the
larger cities, especially from st. Peters
burg and Moscow, and forced to live In the
country. OF course they carry their griev-
ances with them. One writer reminds the
Russian authorities that the impetus given
to the revolutionary movement which
caused the downfall Of the Third Empire
in France came from the QUARTER Latin,
and that for several generations the great
centers Of enthusiasm for German unity
we're the universities. The students songs
and traditions were one Of the means
whereby Bismarck's great work was rem
dered universally popular among the Ger
mar people. other instances might be
quoted to the same effect. The students
are not fighting solely on their own behalf,
but for principles which have the support
Of all the middle and many Of the upper
classes. Their complete suppression would

Simply Can't Be Done
New York Tribune.

Senator Hoar's argument that the cleo
tion Of United States senators by popular
vote would only be the entering wedge for
the overthrow Of equal representation in
that body has suggested to Senator Penrose
a scheme for discrediting the movement.
Nobody will for an instant imagine that
Mr.. Penrose really wants to have senator's
elected by a popular vote. A proposal Of
such a plan by him would not be regarded
seriously, no matter how plausible the plan
might be in itself. When he comes for
ward advocating popular election under
perfectly impossible arrangement there
cannot be the slightest doubt Of his pur-
pose. In moving to amend the house reso-
luton for popular election with a provision
that the senate shall consist OF two mem
bers from each state and In addition one
member for every 500, 900 Inhabitants in a
state he is simply trying to kill the orig
inal resolution.
The constitution cannot be amended as
Senator Penrose proposes. Article v OF the
constitution provides that mo state, with
out It's consent. shall be deprived of it's
equal suffrage In the senate" II is not
conceivable that Rhode Island and Della
ware and Nevada and half a dozen other
states would consent to give New York
fourteen and Pennsylvania twelve senators,
or in any way to change the rule Of equal
representation In the senate That equality
is q fundamental feature Of our federal re-
public. ANY other change would be easier.

wanted to they might abolish republican
