SAYS STEAMSHIPS CAN GO FASTER.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I notice in your paper Of this morning
sta ternent to the effect that the designer of the
Kaiser Wilhelm II has been reported as saying that
in that ship the limit of achievement has been at
tanned" That some such statement should come
from a layman might. perhaps. he both possible
and excusable but that it should have been made
bv an up-to-tfate engineer seems quite impossible
Not only has the limit Of speed and comfort in
these ships not been attained, but progress in that
direction has been ridicuousy slow, and tfE9 at
tempts to solve these great problems have been
tirnid in the Ships Of thirty knots are as
practical to-day ships of twentythree or twenty
four and they can be built on less displacement if
commercially advisable. and along lines of greater
comfort That great corporations should be willing
to spend large sums TO add TO the speed OF their
ships but half knot over that of rival llne when
this speed is sure TO be as much outdone by that
lines next steamer, quite ridiculous In view
Of the fact that with nerve it could as well
add ten or twelve times that amount. and thereby
produce ship which not only could be safely re-
lied upon to maintain for time its proper po-
siton as the worlds flyer, but which would also
undoubtedly prove 6 financial success
OF course. to produce thirty knot steamer would
require cutting away somewhat from existing prac-
tice but ii would not require any radical changes
OF type but rather only further, If long, step IN
the line of development which has for many years
obtained In marine engineering and of which the
modern liner is itself the outcome OF course new
types of engines may eventually come INTO USE
such for example the steam turbine, nut the
need for them is yet Such progress as has been
made In modern engineering has been made along
the lines of higher steam pressure and greater
subdivision of power In lighter and higher speed
engines The question then is. Has the limit of evo-
luton in these been reached and the answer Is
dramatically. no. Steam at 400 pounds pressure ~.

AN EXPLANATION FROM Mr.. CANTOR.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | regret very much that any statement
made yesterday in relation to the depression of the
tracks at Forty second-st. and Fifth-ave. IN order
to relieve the traffic congestion in that thorough
fare, should have nisled you into thinking that
the proposition had been practically determined
I realize how important it is to relieve the con-
geston in this avenue. ar the time realizing
that any proposition with that end in view should
be most carefully. intelligently and exhaustively
considered before final action is taken.
The Importance of this matter cannot be over
estimated, and what l intended to convey was that
the matter had been suggested to me, and that
public hearings would be had and the whole matter
thoroughly thrashed out before final action is
taken either way the other. Yours, etc,
JACOB 4. CANTOR President
New-York, May 2. 1863
The Tribune not misled into thinking
that the proposition had been practically deter
mined It was convinced that il had not been
determined, and said so, notwithstanding the
reports in several newspapers attTibuting to Mr..
Cantor the statement that 1t was good as

alliance between England and Japan was a
great stroke like the purchase OF the Khedive's
suez shares: and II has counteracsed the
Franco Russian coalition in the Far East The
prin1roses have begun TO blossom in South
Africa since the magnanmous peace, and Mr.
Chamberlain has watered them and not stamped
them out on the high veldt during his mission
of reconciliation. Primrose gathering. more

II Lord Beaconsfeld enlarged the Englishn1an's
ideal Of work and influence in the world. and
impaired dignity to citizenship in empire.
Mr. Chamberlain has strengthened the loyalty
of the colonies and created atmosphere for
imperial federation The circle of empire has
not been squared by the adoption of zollver-
elm: the representation of self-governing depend
encies in an imperial council Is vaguely dis
cussed and the distribution of the burdens and
responsibilities Of common defence has not been
ordered; but there is a closer fellowship than
ever before between the mother country and the
colonies, and there is more exalted pride in the
heritage of the English speaking race and in its
unceasing iabors for civilization Imperialism
has become saner and more businesslike move
ment than it was in the time of Lord Beacons-
fields jingoism. The English primroses may
not bloom in the Balkans and In Mesopotamia;
but a worldwide empire is illuminated with their
radiance. Possibly they may be found some day
even among the ShanrOckS OF ireland!
Primrose gathering a costly recreation in
Lord Beaconsfelds time. When the taxpayers
counted the cost there national revulsion
fl favor OF cheaper and less theatrical diplo-
macy. Not even orchids would have been more
costly than the primroses which are beginning
to shine on the high veldt of South Africa after
prolonged race feuds and civil war. The Boer
war added E165, 100000 to the national debt. and
wiped out the savings Of thirty or forty years.
1t also increased enormously the burdens Of tax
alton, and the return of peace has witnessed no

THE FRANCHISE TAX DECISION.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Upon taking The Tribune UP from the table
this morning. and CHANGING at the headlines. the
first sentence that greeted vas, Holds Fran
chise Tax Valid" While not directly interested
except as a citizen of the State, believing pro-
foundly in the wisdom OF it's institutions, and also
as humble participator in the study Of the great
taxtion problems, 1 could not help but feel that
the Court of Appeals has delivered opinion.
not only dear to the heart of the people, but one
calculated to act a check upon the spirit OF
growing distrust OF the judiciary. The soundness
of that decision TO unbiased and disnterested
person, is almost palpably obvious. The dsin-
genuous and Iabyrinthine subterfuges of the cor
porate representatives.. holding forth in the name
dear name-of liberty, seem even more superfiuous
and artificial than when Judge Earl, of lamented
memory rendered his decision referee. This de-
cision is a triumph for sound legal scholarship
and matured juristc attaInments arrayed against
the welInigh resistless forces Of wealth and in
fuence often corruptly employed.
The Court of Appeals distinctly stands a loftier
