R,,t the view thus taken by would-be treaty

treaty. as drafted by the State Department ana
as renorted TO the Senate yesterday, does pro-
vide for the complete and perpetual contro4 OF
the canal by the United States. and the United
States alone. It gives the United States 1ull
x,oTer over the canal and an ample strip OF iaho
at each side OF it. with pIenary police, SANITARY
judicial and other authority. Practically the
United States will be able to control that strlp
as completely as 1t does the District OF 20

way of completeness Of control can reasonably
be asked. As to perpetuity OF control, 1t Is pro

THE HOODED THIRD RAIL.

Two improvements in the arrangement Of the
third rail on electric roads have recently at
tracted attention. Both have the same object
in view, and get at it in the same general
fashion, though with differences in detail. In
order to avert the formation of an icy coating on
the rail- and the consequent paralysis Of traffic,
a continuous hood has been placed above the
conductor. One inventor goes 80 far as to turn
the rai1 upside down and have the contact shoe
slide along its lower surface. The brackets by
means Of which It is supported from one side
keep it several inches above the ties. This
cover comes down close to the upturned base
OF the rail, and has q slight oVefhang at each
edge. The other inventor retains the rail in its
present position, and adjusts his cover four or
five inches higher up, thus leaving ample room
for the shoe. The first Of these two systems
has not yet been introduced permanently any
where but favorable accounts are given Of e1-
pertments made with it by a Western railroad
company. The other plan has been n opera
tion all winter on tTenty-six miles OF road in
Pennsylvania which constitutes link in line
reaching from WilEesbarre to Hazleton. Ac-

WOOD AND CROMER.

The work accomplished by General Leonard
Wood while in command Of the United States
forces in the Province OF Santiago, Cuba, is re-
called by an article in the current number of
"The Annals Of the American Academy Of Po-
iiticaI and Social Science" General Wood
says:

fevers were all prevalent to an alarming ex-
tent. The sanitary conditions were in
describahly bad. There was little or water
available, and the conditions were such as can
be imagined to exist in a tropical city following
a siege and capture In the most unhealthy sea-
son Of the year.
On the subject OF his fight against smallpox
General Wood says:
In October the Spanish garrison. consisting of
some twelve thousand men, was withdrawn
from the northwestern portion OF the province.
Upon their withdrawal II was found that small
pox was epidemic in most Of the towns they had
occupied, and an investigation showed that
there were approximately three thousand cases
Of smallpox existing in the Holguta district and
that the disease was Of Q malignant type S1x

Eren if the Buffalo police should now unex-
noctadIv nut their hands on the murderer OF
Rurdick. and his conviction should promptly
follow on overwhelming evidence 1t could not
he denied that they had made shocking plumbers
during week Of haphazard activity. For one
thing they have done an unconscionable amount
of talking to reporters and apparently TO every
body else who chose to listen, without caring
whether they agreed with one another or to-
days outgivings made yesterdays and to-mor-
rows ridiculous. Such food of worthless as
sertions and fantastic conjectures has seldom
IL ever been poured through the channel OF the
press before. 1t is doubtless a fact that SEN
sationaI papers have eagerly distributed the
stuff to their readers, and that papers Of diff
ferent sort have not escaped discredH. But all
have had some excuse owing to the reckless
confidence with which the police have Issued
their declarations and predictions. One odious
feature of the whole business has been the at
tempt to make 1t appear that the persons In
yolved and suspected were among the best
people Of Buffalo. and that their social standing
impaired a horrible significance to the crime,
whereas in fact the widest surmise has not
concerned a single individual Of really high
repute in the community.
The worst overt act OF brutality of which the
police have been guilty was the seizure last
Saturday OF q young woman on the assumption
that she was implicated, and her subjection to
treatment which must almost have made her
wish that she had never been born and inspired
her friends with longing to commit another
murder After the police had inflicted mani
fold indignities on her for several hours they
Let her go with the announcement that they had
made mistake inasmuch as there was not the
faintest reason to suppose that she had any
knowledge whatsoever Of the crime. They eX-
plain that she was not technically under arrest,
as If she would be c0mforted and recOmpensed
by thinking of that, while in reality she was
doubly wronged by denial Of the rights which
a technical arrest would have given her. It is
said that she may bring an action against one
or more policemen. But what could she gain
by that course? 1t would revive and prolong
the dreadful notoriety with which she has been
wantonly afflicted. and there is little reason to
suppose that any material advantage would re-
suit.
1t is disgrace to the State Of New-York that
the processes Of justice can be employed after
this fashion within its borders. As for the sec
ond city in the State, its reputable citizens must
feel that they have been impFessively warned
to pay closer attention to their civic duties.
