fst, who asked the government leader. A. ].
Balfour. whether, in view of the action of
the United States and the fact that Brit
ish colony suffered so greatly, Great Britain
intended to adopt similar relief measures.
He was sure that a vote in this connection
would be carried unanimously.
Mr.. Balfour's reply was not calculated to
satisfy public opinion. He said the matter
had been under the consideration of the
cabinet, but he had no statement to make.
Mr.. Balfour had never heard of a vote of
such a character being suggested in par
Lament. OF course, everybody felt the eX-
traordinary gravity of the situation, and
the tremendous suffering caused by the APP
palling calamity. Every assistance that
could be given locally by the government
would be given.
Mr.. Dillon gave notice that he would re-
cur to the subject tomorrow. His sugges-
ton was warmly approved by the house.

explosive volcanoes are vapor and gases,
moltensTock and solid rock The vapor is
steam, and the gases, In certain instances,
at least. largely free hydrogen and free
oxygen. The explosions, although COM
monty aScribedr to-, the, violent escape of
steam, may in part be due to the union Of
the oxygen and hydrogen present. The
liquid rock escapes as streams or lava
flows, and in part is blown into the air. The
liquid or plastic prOjectiles produced in this
manner may become sufficiently solid to re-
tain their form on striking, and are termed
volcanic bombs. They frequently have a
spindle shape. with twisted ends showing
that they rotated while in the air about
an axis: but in other instances they f1atten
on striking, and may even be so nearly
liquid that the material composing them
spreads out as a thin cake when it comes
to, rest. Bombs are frequently found sew
eral miles from the volcano that elected
them, and f1attened and even thin lava
cokes are sometimes abundant at a dis
lance Of one or two miles from the place
where they began their aerial journeys.
Nature Of Rock Emitted.
The solid rock blown out by volcanoes
consists usually of highly vascular mater
rial which hardened on the surface Of the
column of lava within conduit and was
shattered by explosions beneath it. These
fragments vary In size from dust particles
up TO masses several, feet in diameter, and
during violent erfptforiS are hurled miles
high. The .largsr fragments commonly

therefore urged that the company should carry
out its plans, to which they are favorably in
clined, under the Rapid Transit act, amended to
suit this special case. and al the Mayors sugges
tOn promised TO submit such amendments to-
day. We may say in passing that it would seem
as if the commission ought to have raised these
objections to the bill sooner, for at this late date
in the session 1t may be difficult to secure new
legislation.
The opposition is in part to the terms sought
by the company, without regard to the agency
through which they may be procured. and the
perpetual charter proposed is the chief object of
attack. The general principle of limiting the life
of municipal franchises is unquestionably sound,
and taxpayers who realize what the city has lost
by not adopting it long ago may well hesitate 10
sanction a violation of it in any case. Yet it
must be acknowledged that the Pennsylvanias
undertaking is not Of the familiar sort 1t does
not mean the possession Of public property now
in use. 1t is not. like the Rapid Transit enter
prise. based on public credit and an immense ad-
vance of public money. 1t does, on the contrary,
require a great investment of private funds, to
which permanence of tenure is probably an es
sential condition, and il promises recOmpense
reckOned according 10 revaluatiOnS at intervals
of twenty five years. 1t should be borne in mind
also that the bill now before the Mayor is not
mandatory, but permiSSive. 1t authorizes the
Aldermen and the Board of Estimate and AppOr-
tionment, the Mayor consenting. TO grant the de-
sired franchise on such terms as they consider
proper, and they may refuse to grant it if they
see fit This. under existing circumstances is
pretty good security. 1t is. moreover, entirely
consistent with the doctrine of home rule en-
bodied in the charter though contrary to one OF
the provisions of that instrument.
There remains TO be considered the objection
that, though the present management Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad can he trusted not to 90
beyond its main purpose and engage in any oper-
alton preiudical to the citys interests, the pro-
posed grant would permit less scrupulous
management at some time in the future to adopt
such a course, perhaps constructing rapid tran
sit lines north and south under peculiar and un-
just advantages or blocking other projects Of the
sort. If that possibility exists it is to which
the city should not be exposed; but there would
seem to be no difficulty in framing covenants
which would prevent any such thing. Our pref
erence would be TO put. or leave. the franchise
at the disposal of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion. which may be able to present to-day a
method of procedure satisfactory to all con-
cerned but are not prepared to say that
otherwise the bill ought to be vetoed.
New-York tribune., 1902-03-22

The hearing yesterday before the Mayor on
the Pennsylvania Railroad Companys tunnel
bill brought OUT clear and forcible arguments
for and against the proposition in its present
form, and was in all respects creditable to those
who took part in the discussion. 1t should be
recognized everywhere. as it was yesterday in
the Mayors office, that no suspicious of bad
faith have been incurred by the company. It's
proceedings in connection with this undertaking
have been open and straightforward. If the bill
now in the Mayors hands was passed without
due consideration Of its possible consequences
no blame attaches TO the company on that ac-
count Nor can the legislature be severely criti-
cised, for the measure was understood to have
the approval Of the city authorities and to be re-
garded with favor by the general public There
was no secrecy about the matter at Albany or
elsewhere, and no sharp practices were en-
pioyed TO gain support in any quarter. In this
respect the affair has been throughout in sharp
and agreeable contrast TO many previous efforts
20 obtain valuable privileges from the munich
pality.
Furthermore no doubt is expressed even by
those who now oppose the present bill that the
public advantage would be greatly promoted by
the carrying out of the Pennsyivania's plans

and nothing has since occurred 10 cause a

THE LATEST SUBWAY ACCIDENT.

The accident which occurred yesterday in
Park-ave., while far less serious than the dyna-
mite explosion few weeks ago, is certainly
calculated, as was the other event, to provoke
more or less anxiety in other localities where
blasting operations are in progress. Nor is it
especially reassuring to remember that the dis
turbance of the rock in that part of town ceased
some time before the final effect was produced
One would naturally expect cave-in almost
Immediately if it was TO follow at all.
On the other hand, it must be remembered
that mining has been conducted elsewhere along
the route of the subway for more than year
past and yesterdays mshap is the only one of
It's character that has yet been reported 1t is
not unreasonable, therefore, to hope that this
experience will prove a solitary exception TO
the rule.
One of the strangest features of the accident
Is that it should have happened just where it
did. The distance between the street level and
the subway is much greater on the crest Of
Murray Hill than on the slopes. Had the col
lapse been reported from Thirty-secOnd-st or
Forty -second-st, instead OF Thirty eighth-st 1t
would have been more intelligible Still the
stability of the superintendent rock would de-
pend on its soidity. If it were more or less
fractured before being undermined il would be
less likely to retain its original position than
otherwise

The stewards of the English Jockey Club are
determined TO maintain the highest standards on
the turf, and they do not believe in shuffiing or
shilly -shallying. No halfway measures for
them When they smite they hit home and
spare not. They have ruled off one of the best
known and most successful riders in Great
Britain because he was on intimate terms with
some of the men guilty of the astounding
frauds on the Liverpool Bank. There was no
actual proof that this jockey was accom-
plce in these frauds. but he was under sus-
picion. Another English rider. who had dis
obeyed some of the rules, has suffered sus-
