influence Of the French and British Gov
ernments has been exerted at st. Peters,
burg and Toxic to prevent war in the
Far East
1t is easy, then, to understand why
both Russia and Japan have thus far
shrunk from committing acts which
would be universally acknowledged as
aggressive. Neither Power wants to
forfeit its treaty claim on an ally whose
succor might be rendered Indispensable
by the issue of the first naval battle. 1t
follows that we have to thank the quiet
but strong influence exercised in favor
of peace by France and England if the
clouds that, of late, have darkened the
Far Eastern horizon are now, to certain
extent, dispelled.
As to the interest which the United
States has in the matter, we repeat that
the provisions of the treaty OF commerce
concluded by us with China-the pro-
visions giving us access to Mukden and
Antung, as well as to Newohwang-will
not become operative until ratfcations
of the treaty shall have been exchanged.
We can scarcely bring ourselves to be-
lieve that Russia will seriously under
take to nullify those treaty rights.

The City Election To-day.

1t is an insult to intelligent men and
faithful citizens to assume that they need
any urgent appeal TO discharge the prime
duty and high privilege of citizenship by
voting at the election Of to-day. They
do not have to be driven to the polls by
entrcaty. They are enger to get in their
ballots.
The theory that reputable citizens are
more neglectful of the franchise than
those who are careless of the moral obli-
cations of citizenship is often put for
ward, but it is not sustained by the facts.
The "brownstone VOTE, as it ia called,
is cast as completely as Is the vote OF the
most crowded tenement house districts,
only it is very much smaller, in the aggre-
gate. The homes of something like
three-fourths of the population of Man
haitian Island are in tenement, fiat and
apartment houses and hotels; and the
percentage is increasing steadily. Rela-
lively very few single residences for
families are built on Manhattan Island
at this period, and actually their num-
ber is not large. The population is be-
coming more and more concentrated in
buildings which come within the legal
definition of tenement houses.
1t is undoubtedly true that everybody
in New York whose interest will be
served by municipal government
which gives license and protection
to occupations and practices that an
honest and pure administration of the
laws makes perilous will be on hand
early to vote for Tammany to-day.
OF course, every keeper of dive, every
thief every man engaged in criminal
or disreputable business who has the
right to vote can be relied on by Tam
many to-day, and he will need no urging
to the polls by its captains and heelers.
For that very reason, decent and repu-
table citizens will get in their votes no
less fully. They are the great majority
of the people of this town. If they were
not, and the others were not small
minority, civilized society could not exist
in New York 1t would not be, as it is, a

l.726. $50. .287 u80l-2j among them. and the
other third goes for fuel. taxes. supplies and

son, head OF one OF the bureaus Of the General
Managers Association. with headquarters
in Chicago was led to make as result OF
replies to the question, Are there million
owners Of railway securities In the United
States3" received from thrty-nine Of the
leading railway companies Of the country.
These roads represent l07 $40 miles out OF
the 2o2 All of single track mileage in the
United States. They gave the total number
OF stockholders on their books as lsl ,3sT
This is pretty nearly equal to two stock
holders of every mile OF railway. says Mr..
Thompson. The ratio on the Illinois Gen.
tral as given by Stuyvesant Fish, is little
over two to one. On some OF the railroads
the ratio rises to three to one. and In two cases
as high eight to one. while. in one case the
ratio swung as far as one to six the other
way Applying two to one as the ratio. ap-
proximated in the total. would give 100000
stockholders in round numbers for the 2O0.-

ported June 80, 1902. Assn ming that the
50 i0s pBI ,669 funded debt is as widely dis
tributed among bondholders. the railway
ownership would appear to be held in some
thing like srO.OO0 hands. But. large as these
figures are, and approaching the total OF
railway employees n.ls9.Sl5, as they do.
they by no means represent the total Of those
interested in railway ownership. The fig
ures given are for registered stock and, as
the controller Of one of the largest systems
wrote. 1t is very probable that the number
of actual stockholders is twice as great as
the number of registered stockholders
Then there is the holding of railway stock by
insurance companies. savings banks and
trust companies. extending their ownership
among thousands. And what Is true of these
institutions as to stocks is also true as to
railway bonds-only more so"
President Stuyvesant Fish OF the Illinois
Central Railroad. at the recent annual meet
ing of that company. presented statistics
showing that one year ago the company had
total of 7.l2s stockholders. and among them
were 800 persons who owned less than 100
INK to s9s, ,O3s 400. During the year the total
number OF stockholders increased to s,8%7,
out of whom 672s owned collectively ti5.-
0i7 900. This shows that the increase of
sic in the total number of stockholders
came mainly from the small investor.
II is u matter OF considerable importance
that the people residing along the lines OF
large railway systems are becoming more
and more financially interested In these

ARE PORTO RICANS ALIENsp
Resident Commissioner Degetau 10 File
Brief In the supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Federico Dege
tau, as Resident Commissioner from Porto
Rico to the United States, to-day asked
leave Of the Supreme Court to file brief
in the case Of Isabella Gonzales, who is
resisting the order of the immigration
authorities denying her admission to the
United States and ordering her return
to Porto Rico as an alien liable to become
a public charge Her appeal from that or
der, now pending before the Court involves
the status of the citizens OF that island
who under the Foraker act are designated
as "citizens of the island of Porto Rico"
but who are classified as aliens by the i'm
migration authorities.
The anomalous position of the Porto
Ricans was noticed in his motion by Mr..
Degetau, who said that under the law
authorizing his election as Commissioner
he had taken the oath to support the Con
stitution Of the United States and the laws
OF Porto Rico. The decision OF the Circuit
Court upholding the order of the immigra-
ton authorities, in his opinion, was incon
sistent with the Constitution OF the United
States and the laws he had sworn To support
Moreover, he asked permission to appear
in the case, because as Resident Conmis-
sioner OF Porto Rico he is greatly interested
in the status of the territory and that of
its inhabitants.
The Court granted his request, and he will
file brief within short time
