The many friends of Captain Ar
thur Cole, the well known pilot, were
shocked this morning to learn of hi,
death last night up Tennessee river
near Florence, Ala.
The first news came to Mr.. Thomas
W. Baird, secretary Of Paducah
Lodge Of Elks, of which Pilot Cole
was u member. Mr.. Baird received q
telephone message that Mr.. Cole was
found dead down the river" The
message was from Mr.. Tom Reeder,
owner of the steamer J. T. Reeder,
on which Pilot Cole had berth, and
gave no details.
Instructions were Immediately
wired to prepare the body for burial
and Captain Mark Cole, who is del
egate from Paducah attending the Par
kersburg Waterways convention, was
notified by wire of his brothers
death.
Another brother, Mr.. W. Horace
Cole, is employed on the dry docki
here, and received the news through
Mr.. Baird.
Pilot Cole left Paducsh only a few
weeks ago. He went from here NJ
the Tennessee river on the L. II,
Burhman, the Cincinnati Cooperagt
company's towboat, and at Clifton
took the Henry Harley for Hamburg
Tenn. He then accepted place on
the ]. L. Reeder as pilot between
Florence and Hamburg. So far as any
Of his friends here know, he was in
his usual good health.
Captain Cole was born 40 years
ago at Psrkersburg, West Va, AND
was a widely known river man. He
married Golconda girl, Miss Delll
Vineyard, daughter of Captain jim
Vineyard, who about six years age
died here. His daughter, Della,
q bout six years old, now resides

Third Street Saloon Entered by
Thieves Last Night.
The Cash ORA wer Looted and a Blaze
Started In . Small
Closet.
LICE ARE AT WORK

Thieves entered the saloon OF strom
and Rose, at 40 South Third street,
last night and after looting the cash
drawer of o. set fire to the building.
The theft was discovered this morn
ing at O'Clock when Mr. J. NJ.
Cashon, the yday bartender, opened
the building. The room was filed
with smoke and he Immediately began
an investigation. He found the till
lying on the bar empty. One drawer
OF the bar fixtures was pulled partly
ont and in its were the chsrred re-
mains of papers and books. Under
meath this is a small closet in which
several large FIVE gallon jugs Of liquor
wers kept and one jug had been de-
molished by heat perhaps and the con-
tents spilled on the floor.
The fire evidently smothered itself,
or else the thieves broke the jug ao-
cidentally and in their carelessness
had dropped a lighted match which
ignited the liquor. Only the money
has been missed so far but cigars and
whiskey might have been taken and
the proprietors never known it,as the
stock had not been invoioed recently.
The case has been placed IN the
hands OF the police who are working
on the case today. The theft must
have been committed between i2 and
5 o'clock last night. The thieves en-.
tered through a window In the rear Of
the building.

THE CROSSTOWN TUNNEL.


Mayor Lows course in approving for the city
the Pennsylvania tunnel bill. while at the same
time urging that it should be amended in the
last hours of the session in accordance with an
agreement previously reached, has caused some
surprise but is not, so far as we can see, open
to censure. He might, has been suggested,
have withheld his approval until after the ad-
journment of the legislature and so preserved
his liberty of action few days longer; but it
is not clear that he would have gained any sub
stantial advantage by so doing, while, on the
other hand. he may have been justified in
thinking that under the conditions which he
created there was a better chance of securing
the desired amendments than there otherwise
would have been. He would regret their de-
feat but yet he believes that the bill as it
stands is better than no bill at all. the enter
prise which it authorizes being of great impor-
tance to the city. At all events, he assures the.
public that his action is not the result of a mis-
understanding or disagreement, but that the
| Governor and himself are in entire accord.
Following and expanding the argument Of The
Tribune, the Mayors memorandum makes it
still palmer that the franchise sought by the
Pennsylvania company differs radically in es-
sential particulars from such perpetual fran
chises as the city has recklessly granted in the
past and the present charter was designed to
forbid. As we said several days ago, and as the
Mayor affirms. the Pennsylvania does not pro-
pose or desire to obtain possession Of property
which the city is now using or might use here
after. 1t does not ask for public funds or public
credit but plans TO make an immense invest
ment of its own resOurces-in its own interest
of course, but in a way TO benefit the city great
ly, as everybody admits. If the franchise were
TO be granted for a fixed period of time, the
city would be constrained at the end of the
term to grant 1t again to the same lessee, mas
much as the tunnel across Manhattan would
continue to derive its value almost wholly from
its connection with the railroad owning its
terminals. The only question would be on what
conditions successive leases should be made;
but full power TO determine at intervals Of
twenty five years the recompense to be paid by
the company is conferred by the bill the
municipal authorities, whom it also empowers
10 fix the original terms and to refuse the fran
chise outright if they see fit. We cannot re-
gard this as a serious invasion Of the sound
| policy prescribed in the charter.
It is. nevertheless desirable that the Rapid
| Transit Commission should be clearly author
| lied to exercise some measure of control over
the undertaking. at least in its inception. and
! to that end the amendments introduced at
Albany yesterday are directed. 1t would have
! been better if they had been demanded earlier,
! but there seems to be little doubt that the OBJ
| ject sought will be accomplished after all.

MY 20.

The date OF the beginning of Cuban self-gOv-
eTnment has been postponed from May to May
90. for what seem 70 be good and sufficient rea-
sons. Upon the latter date therefore, now less
than two months away, American administra-
ton of insular affairs will cease, Mr.. Palma
will be installed as President of the Cuban Re
public, and at last after many years, the as
pirations of the Cuban people will be fulfilled.
1t will be a momentous day in the history OF
the island. We may hope it will be auspicious
OF great good. There are reasons for both hope
and fear concerning the experiment OF Cuban
self-government but on the whole hope must
predominant over fear. Certainly there can be
no we'll wisher of this country who does not
also wish we'll for the Cuban Republic.
The fixing Of this date is, moreover, another
reminder TO the United States Of its duty to
Cuba. Upon that day Cuban interests will be
placed in Cuban hands. In what condition will
they be? In what state, prosperous or other
wise, will the Cubans find their country when
the United States turns it over TO them? Be
yOnd doubt they will find il vastly better or
than it was before the United States took hold
of it, in many important respects. But in what
is after all. at least TO them. the paramount and
supreme respect. the state of the island Will not,
we fear. be what it should be. There Will be
industrial depression, commercial stagnaton.
financial strngency. popular distress. And
these things will be because the United States,
through the selfish devices Of the beet sugar
ring has delayed 10 obey the dictates OF JUS
tice of honor and of morality in dealing with
the island
The Cubans will begin their work OF self-gov-
ernment under a tariff imposed upon them by
the United States 1t is a tariff which serves
well the needs neither of Cuba nor of the
United States. 1t should long ago have been
modified. with a reciprocal arrangement that
would have been beneficial to both countries.
The Cuban Republic should have been enabled
TO start upon its career with full treasury, ade-
quate revenue. prospering industries and eX-
panding commerce. 1t is deplorabe that under
any malgn influence this government has been
restrained from giving it such start. AS 1t
is we can only console ourselves with the time
worn truth that it is better late than never.
When the Cuban Government assumes charge
of Cuban affairs on May 20 It should be met
upon the very threshold Of its career with the
offer of a generous measure Of commercial rec
iprocity with the United States. There could
be nothing that would be more auspicious of
good 10 both countries and of success to the
Cuban Republic.

LOCAL GEOGRAPHY.

NeWspapers-Or news repOrterS-now and
then make breaks" as who, in any business
or profession, does not? These are more no
ticed, we have no doubt by the men who make
the papers than by the general public No one
appreciates at once the faults and the virtues
of a newspaper as fully as does a newspaper
man. Some of the breaks" however are real
ly more of a popular than a professional char
acter- They are simply reflection of the lack
of information, or carelessness as TO accuracy
which often prevails to an astonishing degree:
and this Is made patent by the circumstance
that some of the worst breaks" pass incorrect
ed and presumably unnoticed by the public.
\ striking example was furnished last week
in an item about the great windstorm of
Wednesday. The item, common to various
papers, stated that the gale did much damage
in the Bronx valley" churches and barns
being blown down. cattle killed, and people
put in imminent peril Of being crushed by fall
ing trees and walls. Then it gave details A
church was blown down at Golden's Bridge A
barn was wrecked and many cattle were killed
al Croton Falls. At the latter place several
people narrowly escaped being crushed when
an uprooted tree was blown through a house
At Pleasantville carriage containing a man
was blown over a stone wall Telegraph wires
were blown down all the way from HiIlsdale
to Chatham. At Port Chester and East Port
Chester various bits of damage We're done.
Now, IL is probable that all these details are
quite true in themselves. But the trouble with
the whole thing is that not a single one of the
places named is in the Bronx valley" Croton
Falls and Golden's Bridge are on the Croton
River, Port Chester is at the mouth of the
Byram, ana Pleasantville is at the headwaters
of the Sawmill River. OF course. the region
from Hillsdale 10 Chatham is beyond even the
Croton valley We have no doubt that the gale
in question did much damage in the Bronx
valley, but the news item which stated that
