shall be divided into two squadrons Of six
vessels, and each of these into two divisions
of three vessels. Rear Admiral Barker, in ad-
dition to his Office as commander-in-chief
will command the first squadron and first
division. Rear Admiral Coghlan will COM
mand the second squadron and its first divi-
sion. Each of the remaining divisions will
be commanded by a flag officer.
The ships to take part and the order in
which they will pass before the President

ship Kearsarge, flagship of Rear Admiral
nois Second division-Battle ship Texas.

4 INST .JUDGMENT.

The Police Commissioner has inflicted tne
proper penalty of dismissal from the force on
natrolman found guilty Of attempting to e1borI
a small sum of money from pedler arter Steal
,ns candy from his pushcart. The warning was
made more impressive, we trust, by General
Greene's stinging denunciation OF the indlVloual
concerned and Of the practice of which his act
was an example. How much extcrtion OF cash
after this fashion there is in New-York the pup
lie has no means Of judging except oy the COnn
rnissioner's intimation that 1t Is not uncommon
Int that pilfering Of nuts and candy anu IruIt
from pushcarts is q habit Of policemen every
observing citizen knows. It is peculiarly
mean thing. Ittnerant pedlers are In general
more or less Of q nuisance, though they seem 10
be tolerated by the law. but at least they try TO
earn instead of begging living, and SO long
as they are permitted to do business IN tne
streets it is outrageous that their petty pronts
should be cut down by we'll paid employees OF
+ne- citv. whether on pretence Of favor shown
them or without other excuse than hanKerlng
after their wares.
Perhaps the public and the newspapers are
somewhat at fault in this matter. Such steat
ing has been too often treated as joke ratner
than as a particularly low and shabby onence
General Greene describes it as It Is, and con-
demns II In terms that fit when he calls 1t a
contemplate and coward1y oppression. NO"
that one policeman has been dismissed for this
csuse. we hope that no other member OF the
force will earn a dismissal in the same way.

Mr.. CHOATE THEIR GUEST
Ambassador Entertained by the PHI

London, March 4, I a.. rn.-The American Am
bassador was entertained handsomely by the
Pilgrims Society al Hyde Park Hotel last night.
The dual character Of the society as equally
English and American in membership
shown when the 175 seats at the tables were
occupied. Good fellowship was promoted by the
substitution OF round tables for the conventional
arrangement of an English public banquet.
Englishmen and Americans were brought into
close relations, and there was an absence Of the
u. y formality. Lord Roberts as honorary
chairman received the company with excep
ticnal hearttness. and Ambassador Choate, as
he himself said, was at home among personal
friends, representing diplomacy, public life. the
bench and bar. literature. science and art.
While Lord Salisbury. Sir William Vernon Har-
court and others were compelled to reconsider
their acceptances on account Of Continental
Journeys and illness, there no lack Of dis
tinguished guests.
The banquet was brilliant in every respect,
and by common consent, enjoyable as 1t was
we'll ordered. The speaking was spirited and
excellent Lord Roberts proposed the health Of
the American Ambassador with simplicity and
unaffected eloquence, and paid a stirring trib-
ute to the United States Mr.. Choate's response
was made with characteristic fervor and dig
nifty. He spoke at OuCE DIS d4IOdo6dOO4 oAA
friend, deprecated any breach in the relations
of the two countries crime against civtlf-
cation expressed his hearty appreciation OF the
condiments showered upon him, did not neglect
to honor both President and King and took up
an amusing parable from Pilgrims Progress
Stanford Newell. United States Minister at
The Hague, proposed the toast England and
America In a quaint and delightful speech,
which pleased the company quite as much as
Mr. Choate's response. 1t was tactful, elo-
ouent and admirably delivered. Lord BaIfour
of Burleigh responded in e speech containing
an indignant disclaimer that the British Govern
ment had acted in the Venezuela affair without
careful consideration of the sensitiveness OF the
America people. The Lord Chancellor also
made a broad minded and hearty speech IN
favor of the warmest possible feeling of respect
and amity between the two countries.
The Pilgrims banquet at the outset was
pergonal compliment to the American Amoassa-
dor, but it ended in an outburst OF genuine
Anglo-Sax good feeling l. NJ r

Nor is it probable that the latest estimate Is

Davis says: 'T think the people Will accept
'the S1O0,O0OO0O estimate Of the cost OF canai
improvements as readily as the estimate OF
$3.50 100000" No doubt many persons VIII
agree with the Senator without conceaIng Tue
probability OF the peoples consent1ng to the e1-

well that the inquiry was ordered. The legis'
Iature needed the most trustworthy figures oo-

TO determine the question OF canal improve

TIE PLPAL JUBILEE.

The reign OF Leo XIII. OF which the quarter
centenary was yesterday celebrated throughout
the world has been thus fa- one of the longest
sn the history Of the Roman Church. It has. in
deed, been surpassed in length by the reigns OF
only two other Pcpes by curious coincidence
the first and the last-before the present-of the
whole long line OF Roman bishops. Peter is
said to have been Bishop of Rome for about
twenty-six years. though no one pretenos to
give the exact dates and the whole matter is
invoIved in some uncertainty. Plus TX reigned
from 1876 to 1878. fraction less than thirty
two years. There have been other long reigns
but none quite equalling Leo Kills. Leo l.
appropriately called The Great reigned twenty
pne years; Leo ILL., twenty-one; Alexander III.
twenty-five; Clement XL twenfy-one; Plus VI.
tweuty-foar and q half: Plus VII, twenty ty-three.
Several Of these were Popes Of more than ordi'
nary distinction for their abilities and achieve
menfs apart from their length OF reign. Leo
XIII ranks with the foremost Of them In i'm
portanee, besides outranking them in tenure Of
pfdce.
Secluded as the reign Of the present Pope
has been, IL has been particularly fruitful Of
good to the Roman Church. Seldom In its his
tory has that wonderful organisation in equal
time gained 50 much strength snd influence as
ia these last twenty-five years. The contrast

4 PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

Up to a certain point 1t is easy to understand
what happened at the Edison cement works in
NeW-Jersey on Monday evening. This was one
of the few establishments in this country IN
which coal is used as fuel after being hnely
pulverized. In addition to a dozen or fifteen
other buildings for the storage Of raw material
and finished product and for the immediate
processes of manufacture, it was necessary to
have other structures in which to keep lump coal
and fine coal and for the conversion Of the for
mer into the latter. It mas long been known
that air charged with coal dust is explosive Ex-
perience in mines has demonstrated that fact
although far more trouble has resulted from the
ignition of gas than from that Of dust II,
then. in the particular building in which Mr..
Edison's fuel was being ground, the atmosphere
had become laden with pulverized material, the
conditions existed for an explosion, provided
that a spark was supplied. In an adjacent
building from which lump coal was borne
thither on endless belts there had previously
been little hre in the bins; and 1t has been as
serted that the conveyers transported one or
two burning Goals besides their usual freight
during this crisis. Should this be correct
statement Of the facts, the consequences be-
come ineligible.
Apparently the secret Of what was evidently
q unique accident was the exceptionally great
1t was upon this and other labor saving feat
ures of his establishment, rather than any espe-
ciaIly new process. that the designer and prin-
cipal owner relied to cheaper the product. The
same system Of transfer was extensively en-
pIoyed at his magnetic separation works at
Ogden. It is also used to handle coarse and
fine rock at the new cement factories. Won
derfulIy powerful crushing machinery was de-
vised both for pulverizing ore and limestone.
None Of those materials were explosive or even
Inhammable. Not until the automatic conveyer
was applied to the carrying Of coal did mischief
result. It would not be at all surprising If this
were the first time that such apparatus was
utilized as an adjunct to the pulverization OF
fuel. In that case it would be apparent why
the accident il question was practically with
ont precedent There is only one chance in a
million, perhaps that the same combination of
circumstances VIII arise again as those which
permitted fire to be carried automatically from
one building TO another; but unless Mr. Edison
has changed greatly In the last few months 1t

REGULATE CHILD LABOR.

The bills prepared by the Child Labor Com
roittee for the protection of child labor in this
State will probably come up for discussion III
+he Assembly and for hearing before the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee to-day. 1t is to be
hoped that the degrading effects which result
from the employment Of children Of tender
years in the street trades may be made clear
to the men by whose votes the abuses wh1cn
have hitherto existed may be wiped out There
seems to be considerable opposition to the Dill
by people who cannot see the dangers which
beset the little breadwinners. It provides that:
No child under twelve years Of age shall work
as a bootblack or street pedler IN cities or the
first class and no child twelve to fourteen years
of age shall so work later than o'clock In the
evening No child under ten years or age snal
work as a neWsboy in cities Of the first class
and no child ten to fourteen years OF age shau
so work later than O'Clock in the evening.
The bill is aimed particularly toward taking
from the streets mites of children who In many
instances become useless members OF the COM
munity in their efforts to earn meagre sum
by selling newspapers or backing boots. The
men under whose direction these bills were
drawn, who have given the matter thought and
careful study, say that the number Of criminal
and ungovernable boys would have been less and
there would have been less truancy If a simi-
lar law had been passed years ago. To the
argument that the supervision Of hours OF work
of newsboys is impossible, and that laws Ike
the one under consideration cannot be success
fully carried out the committee points to Bos-
ton, where a similar law is in successful oper'
alton
The bright, manly newsboy is character OF
whom every American is proud. He Is self
reliant, Independent and courageous. The street
Is for him the stepping stone to higher things.
and when he takes his place among the en-
ployers of men he refers with pride to his early
occupation. But his younger and less vigorous
companion in the business and many Of the
boys who black Shoes must also be remem-
bered; and 1t is for their protection that these
bills have been framed. Statistics show that
40 per cent of the boys confined at the New
York Juvenile Asylum who earned money be-
fore commitment were newsboys. OF these
great majority began to work when they were
under twelve years old. The statistician has
demonstrated also that in most instances 1t is
not the sharp pinch Of want SO much as the
greed of heartless parents which turns little
children into the streets, keeps them from
school and forces them Tito ways which lead
to crime.
