MAST CHEERFUL TO THE LAST.

known lie Had Yellow Fever.

WAsIiI NGToN, Dec. 3O.-The State De-
partment to-day received a long letter
from Robert B. Jones, the Vice Consul Of
the United States at Guayaquil, Ecuador,
in which lac gives details concerning the
death Of Thomas Mast, the cartoonist,
who was the American Consul there.
Mr.. Jones says that Mr. Mast was taken
III on Monday, Dec. 1. Mr.. Mast supposed
that he had merely an attack Of bilious
fever. M. Jones was out Of town at the
time and on returning to Guayaquil on
Wednesday he found Mr.. Mast fully dressed,
lying in hammock. Despite Mr.. Nast's
protestations that he was not seriously
i'll, Mr.. Jones called in physician, who
dia gnosed the case as liver trouble.
Mr.. Mast did not improve. and on Satur-
day Mr.. Jones became alarmed over his
condition and sent for another physician,
who found that the Consul had yellow fever
A thiru physician was then called and he
agreed with the second physician ~ to
the nature of the disease and pronounced
il To he OF a serious character, Mr.. Mast,
however, continued to be cheerful and in
sisted that he was not in q serious condition.
As late as 1890 O'Clock on Saturday night,
two hours before he lapsed into the condi-
ton Of insensibility from which he never
awakened, MIR Mast said he would soon
be up and about again. Half an hour
after midnight on Sunday morning Mr..
Mast lost consciousness and after long
and hard struggle expired at 1898 A. M.
The funeral was attended by the entire
official contingent at Guayaquil and was
q very ir'posing affair,
Mr.. Jones pays n tribute 10 Mr.. Ashton.
the British Vice-Consll at Glayaquil. who,
despite the L,.tly nature of the cartoon
ist's disease, assisted Mr.. Jones in nursing

Mr.. August Belmont ~ the Colossus
OF Rhodes.

No one is very much concerned about
the defects Of the third-rail system. as
employed by the elevated roads, 20 long
as the weather does not demonstrate its
shortcomings. It is crying outrage
on the public, all the same: and an ex-
ample Of the stupid economies which
have heretofore characterized the man
agement. 1t will have to be corrected.
The really important consideration
in respect to the elevated roads, and one
far more pressing than the occasional
interruptions of the service caused BY
the weather, is whence we are to find
relief for their inadequacy. They are
unable to accommodate the traffic. the
public is sorely Inconvenience and the
evil is a growing one and threatens to
become intolerable. In all the criticism
of the situation with which the public
prints are burdencd we have failed to
find anything but irrational abuse and
not one word Of suggestion in the direc-
tion Of practical remedy.
We have nothing to urge in extenua-
ton OF the shortcomings Of the adminis-
tration of the elevated roads. We have
seen fifteen years of consecutive incom-
petenCe and meanness OF method and
the results are but natural. Poverty has
had something to do with it, a great deal
probably; but there is very little doubt
that Mr., RUSSELL SAGE has counted for
a preponderatine obstacle in the way of
enlightenment and progress. Proximity,
as a moral quality, Ia a vast part OF the
sum of Mr.. SAGE. Now, however, Mr..
SAGE is out of it. Somebody else has
his stock. Somebody else, too. has Mr..
JOHN ID. RoCKEFELIER's stock and the
disabilities of Mr., GEORGE GoULp, mostly
imaginary and confined to the columns
of the newspapers, have vanished with
the cession of the greater part of his
holding to Mr., AUGUST BELMONT and
his syndicate.
Now, we think Mr.. BELMONT deserves
we'll of the community, and as he must
presently take upon his shoulders the
fearful responsibility for the whole ele-
waited railroad system, we bespeak a
little fair play in his behalf. He is the
head and front of our new underground
transit and hc Is likewise the head and
front of the Manhattan but he ia in no
wise responsible for the sins OF the past
and he is responsible for those Of the pres

would DO that II the commissions acts
in the capacity OF traffic manager were
lagrantly and palpably oppressive they
could be corrected but otherwise the
commissions discretion would be su-
preme.
But perhaps the most interesting point
In an argument Of great ability is Mr..
Illness refutation Of the common asser-
ton that the commission must have the
rate-making power because low rates, due
hitherto to competition are now being
driven out by cons olidations and COM
binations. Mr.. HINES denies that COM
petition has kept down railroad rates.
He maintains that low rates were and are
due ito the competition between markets
and between products, which will always
exist, and to the efforts which the rail-
roads are constantly making to increase
their traffic, realizing, as they do. that
increased profits must lie in increased
volume Of traffic, and that increased
volume can from time to time be de-
veloped by reductions in rates
II may be taken as an indication OF the
present extraordinary befuddled senti-
mental political economy, we suppose,
that Mr.. HINES has TO plead that it
should be conceded, as an abstract prop
osition, that railroad companies have
the right. in times of exceptional pros
perity, when the price of every other
service and commodity ia increased, to
share in the prosperity by increasing
their rates Throughout, his argument

asks that before any further regulation

they should turn down Sixth avenue near
