'It is most gratifying that the serious
offenses have not been committed by the
soldiers unless they were under the direct
orders of certain officers who were respon-
sible. Soldiers have withheld fire when
ordered to shoot prisoners, protested
against acts of cruelty, and written to
relatives at home, urging them to take
action to put stop to those crimes. 1t
will ever be one of the glories of the army
that such deeds, committed by whatever
authority, are abhorrent to the American
soldier. The officers who are responsible,
using chiefly cruel Maccabebes, do not by
any means constitute the American army,
and there must be very unmistakable
line drawn between the great body of hon.
orable and faithful officers and brave SOL
diers whose records have been commend
able and those, of whatever station, whose
acts have received and should receive the
earnest condemnation of all honorable
men. Very truly yours.

REGLNNLNG 4 GREAT IMPRoTEMENT.


The announcement that the contracts for the
major part of the New-York Central terminal
improvements have been signed and the con-
tractors animated declaration respecting the
vigor with which he means TO prosecute the
work bring the accomplishment of long need
ed transformation into mental prospect The
time allotted for the completion of his portion
of the undertaking. which includes extension Of
the yard and provision of space for new track
age is two and half years, and his cheerful
promise is that he will beat the life out of it."
From this we gather that, at the least, he does
not expect TO be a day behind his agreement,
and the stipulated penalty for delay is likely
TO preserve his ardor Fortunately, the com
panys ownership of property adjacent to its
tracks and the existing conditions in general
are such that the public may reasonably hope
to escape extreme discomfort while the work
is in progress. Doubtless there will be some
annoyance to persons living in and near Park
ave, and the cOmpany's engineering and op-
Grating departments will be put to severe test
in taking care of an immense traffic without
serious interruption, but Inevitable annoy
ances will be patiently endured in considera-
ton Of the enormous advantages which will
result.
The folly of keeping open a deep cut through
edged, but the cooperation of the municipality
and the railroad which was essential to ef-
feet a radical change of conditions might not
have been brought about for many years to
come except for the dreadful disaster of Jan
uary s. 1902. An immediate lesson Of that ca
tastrOphe was the inadequacy Of the tunnel to
the demands upon it, but the popular discus
sion which followed, while not altogether peril
nent or Intelligent, covered a wide field, threw
much light the whole subject of terminal
facilities. motive power and the use of contigu-
Gus public thOroughfares, and was influential in
causing the final adoption, after careful study
of the problems and interests involved, of the
comprehensive plan which is now about to be
put into execution. The negotiations between
the city and the company were conducted in a
spirit creditable to both parties and 10 that
fact the fortunate result is largely due.
The enlargement of the Grand Central Sta
tion. additional tracks and an electrical equip
ment would have been of great benefit to the
travelling public, but the supplementary feat
ures of the Improvement finally agreed upon are
of corresponding Importance to the city. The
broad viaduct which is to be built the
tracks from Forty-ninth-st. TO the station Will
be an immense convenience, and the cOnstruc-
ton of numerous nearly level street crossings
south of Fifty-SiXth-st. will have farreaching
consequences. There will be a notable increase
in taxable values, through which the public
treasury Will be reimbursed for its share of the
necessary expenditure and the danger of de
structve fires will be greatly diminished. There
is reason 10 believe that when the costly and
formidable undertaking has been completed the
community and the railroad company viii both
wonder how it came to be deferred so long.

Mr.. Harold Cox. the secretary of the Golden
Club, evidently cherishes the faith once delv-
cred TO the saints. In his letter TO The Tribune
which we published Oh Tuesday he eXultingy
points out that Italy is being converted to free
trade. 1t has discovered that import duties are
Il grave bar to export trade. Wherefore the
chambers OF commerce propose that free zones
shall he created at the chief ports, to which
goods intended for re-eXpOrtation may be i'm
ported without paying duty. This shows to Eng
lishmen, he says, how protection breaks down
in practice It will. of course. prove perfectly
awful ''facer' for Mr.. Chamberlain. and may
even fmpel the United States to adopt free
trade right straight away. Did not Golden
charge his followers not to doubt the prompt
conversion of the whole world to free trade any
more than they doubted the rising of the sun?
True, his prophecy was not fulfilled. But it
would be uniting for his latter day disciples TO
fall short of him in buoyant faith.
But TO the children of a wicked and adulter-
Gus generation. still in the bondage of protec-
ton. there seem to be few flaws in Mr. Cox's
argument. Duties upon imports" he assures
us make it extremely difficult to do an export
trade 1t may be. We would not rashly chaI-
lenge the cornerstone Of Cobdensm. Yet sta
tistics seem to demonstrate that those countries
which have duties upon impOrts-such as Amer
lea ana Germany-are increasing tner export
trade much more rapidly than the country
Great Britain-which has none. Great Brftain's
export trade IS increasing more slowly than that
of any ether, unless possibly France. The
United States and Germany are the two great
protectionst countries, and their exports are
increasing most rapidly of all
Nor is that all. The countries which are ac-
cording to Mr.. Cox. so dreadfully hampered in
their export trade by import duties are not only
increasing their exports more rapidly than is
the free trade United Kingdom; they are more
and more invading the British market with
their manufactured goods. That is to say. the
British manufacturer, with all the enormous ad-
vantage-from the Cobdenite point of view-of
imports free from duty, is unable TO hold his
own in his own domestic market against the
foreign manufacturer, who is hampered-from
the Cobdenite point of view-with the heavy
burden of import duties. Here are the figures:
In 1882 British manufacturers sent to Europe
and America S545, 600 600 worth of goods. while
those countries sent to the British market only
S2I5,O00000 worth Of manufactures. a balance
Of S2I0,000,000 in favor Of Great Britain Since
that date there have been practically steady de-
crease OF British exports and an increase of i'm
ports so that in 1902 exports of British manu-
factures TO competitive countries were only

THE WEST INDIA HURRICANE.

The tropical cyclone which has been travers-
ing the Caribbean Sea for the last four days can
hardly he regarded either tardy or prema-
ture in its appearance Disturbances Of that
type rarely occur until late in July early in
August, and are TO be expected until the close
of October a severe one was reported from
Manila during the opening days OF June but it
was considerably ahead of time. These storms
are sea born, and are generated by the accumu-
lated influence of d summers heat upon the
ocean. At this season the thermal equator is
several degrees north of the geographical equa-
tor and the gentle westward drift of surface
water upon the Atlantic in the trade wind belt
serves still further to locate the birthplace Of
the American hurricanes in the vicinity of the
easternmost Antilles.
In several other particulars this storm has
cOnformed closely precedent during the earlier
period of its history. Its course for at least
three days after it was first detected was almost
due westward or u few degrees TO the north of
westward Its diameter probably exceeded one
hundred miles, because it affected both Bar
BADGES and Martinique; but 1t was very much
narrower than the majority of depressions which
cross the American continent from the Pacific
to the Atlantic Little or no expansion would
then be necessary TO work destruction both at
Santiago and in Jamaica. which are scarcely
more than one hundred and fifty miles apart
As might have been expected, the progressive
motion Of the centre. which is a different thing
from the violence of the wind inside the cyclonic
system. slow. The storm as whole seems
10 have advanced about fifteen hundred miles In
four days. or at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour. while velocities of eighty or one hundred
miles were experienced near its centre
To the forecaster the slow progress Of tropi-
cal cyclone early in its career is of great value.
The narrow path pursued by the storm and the
fact that most Of its course lies over the sea
place him at a disadvantage. Moreover while
he knows that sooner or later the track will
