TO introduce the English rule of success
sion, and there is much to be said in it's
favor. II averts the extinction Of
dynasty, Of which there have been nots-
BILE examples. Thus, although France,
which adhered strictly to the Sale law.
never lacked male heirs of the House Of
Bourbon. there was a complete failure
of male heirs in the House of Hapsburg
on the death of the father of MARIA
THERESA, and in our own time like
failure has been witnessed in the case OF
the family which reigns in the Neither
lands.
Not only have there been many prece-
dents of feminine rule in Russia, which,
indeed, had female sovereigns during
the greater part of the eighteenth CEN
fury, but at least one of the presidents
is an suspicious one from a political
point Of view. PETER the Great himself
was succeeded by his widow, CATHERINE
l., who died in l727; and, three years
later, PETERS niece. the Duchess ANNA
Of Conrland, became Empress. Soon
after Annals death in l740, ELIZABETH,
a daughter of PETER the Great, was
placed upon the throne by palace revo-
luton. 1t was during her reign Of some
twentv-one wears that Russia began to
play great part in Europe. repeatedly
defeating FREDERICK the Great and oc-
cupying Berlin in 1850. During her reign,
also, literature made great advances,
and tho first university in Russia, that OF
Moscow, was founded. II is well known
that her nephew and successor, PETER,
grandson of PETER the Great was as
sassinated, and succeeded by his wife.
SOPHIA of Anhalt- Zerbst. who, by her
baptism in the Orthodox Church. had
become CATHERINE, and as GATHER
me H.. was to rule Russia for more
than thirty years. The veneration with
which her memory is regarded by the
Russians to this day shows that. in spite
of her private vices she was recognized
as a woman Of great genius, and the only
sovereign worthy Of Russia who had
appeared since the time OF PETER the
Great.
So far as the masses Of the Russian
people are concerned, it is probable that
they would welcome the prospect of a
female sovereign. Men like Mr.. DE
WITTE, on the other hand, would, no
doubt, dread it, as likely to place the
great offices of State at the disposal of
favorites, recommended not by merit,
but by their personal acceptability. 1t
ia we'll known that favorites governed
Russia under all but one Of the four
Expresses, and that, even under CATH
ERNIE H., masterful as she was, they
exerted at times considerable influence.
That the mooted change in the Rus
sian law of succession will exasperate
most of the Princes Of the Imperial
House may be taken for granted, but it
is rumored that NICHOLAS IL. has Sc
cured the consent of the next male heir,
who is in i'll health, and has but faint
chance Of surviving his brother, the
Car.

FIRE INSURANCE REMOVED

sNIyanlu's PROBE

Fire insurance on the several hundred
houses now being torn down to make room
for the improvements contemplated by
the Pennsylvania Railroad in the Sunnyside
section of Long Island City has been can
celled by the companies. II is understood
that the railroad company hCrGht the

understanding that they would be re-
moved within given time. In conse,

Suiuvside for the entire settlement, houses

tearing down buildings and it il said that
the insurance companies are guarding
themselves against any sudden outbreak.
Fire insurance men said Yesterday that
the action of the Long Island companies
was taken TO remove great incentive to
imcendiarism. Many Of the houses affected

The reason for this hostile attitude In

went to ask the cause Of the sudden change

The Gradual Dissolution Of the Board
Of Building Trades.

The club which the Board of Building
Trades holds over the heads of the seven
unions which have been expelled from
its councils is the control OF the House,
smiths Union. whose representative ia
SAMUEL }. PARKS, the dominating figure
in the Board. PARKS found the House.
smiths Union ten years ago compare
lively weak and unimportant organiza-
ton. He took it's affairs in hand when it's
members earned 50 a day, with the
promise that he would get them $3.50 a
day That promise he kept, and the
housesmiths, partly because OF the
changes in building construction, and
partly because Of PARKs s untiring efforts,
have made themselves tho most impor-
tant union in the Board of Building
Trades. Changes in building methods
in the last twenty years have brought
about a condition in which unless the
housesmiths do their work the other
artisans cannot work. The housesmiths
follow the excavators, and precede
every other trade in the erection Of
steel frame building. Heretofore the
board controlling the housesmiths has
been supreme, but the reorganization
struggles OF the last three months have
shaken it's position at last.
The troubles within the Board Of
Building Trades which eliminated in the
expulsion of the seven offending unions
grew out of the determination of PARKS
and the other walking delegates that the
skilled craftsmen should support, by
sympathetic strikes, the demands made
by the material drivers two months ago.
The skilled men refused to follow the
walking delegates, and sixteen OF the
thirty-nine organizations in the board
withdrew. So strong was the opposi-
ton Of the men to the plans of the walk
ing delegates that the drivers strike
was finally disowned by the board.
Then the seeding unions returned to the
board, but strengthened in their spirit Of
independence by the success of their cam
paign against the walking delegates.
The hold of PARKS on the housesmiths
was weakened by the disclosures made
to the District Attorney regarding him,
which have resulted in his indictment
for extortion. A powerful faction in
his own union opposes him now, and the
desire of the housesmiths and other
skilled workmen to return to work is
operating all the time to weaken him
and, thus, the power of the board which
he controls No man loses power so
rapidly as a discredited labor leader.
PARKS is not so strong to-day as he was
year ago, and the power of the Board of
Building Trades is curtailed with his own.
1t is not too much to say that the board
will not be so great factor hereafter as
it has been in the past in New York
building affairs.

Will the Law Of Succession in Russia
BE Changed?

1t is an interesting report that comes
to us from st. Petersburg, the report
that the Car NICHOLAS IL. intends,
should his next child be daughter, to
publish a new law OF succession, under
which, on a failure Of sons, the oldest
daughter of the reigning sovereign
would, as in England, succeed to the
throne.
Theoretically, there is no limit to the
will of an autocrat, and a glance at the
history of Russia under the House OF
RoMANoFF will suffice to show that
changes in the law of succession have been
repeatedly made by an exercise of the
Cars prerogative. Thus PETER the
Great decreed that the rule Of primogeni-
ture should be observed, but not many
years after his death the decree was
formally rescnded by the Empress ANNA.
In 1880 the Gar NICHOLAS l., when he
oodified the laws of Russia, resstablished
the rule Of primogeniture in modified
form authorizing the reigning sovereign
to make his eldest son his heir. Subse-
quently, every Car has been succeeded
hy his eldest son.
IT, There can he, therefore, no dispute
