THE MAECRURIAE CRISIS.

The unweicome, though not unexpected, news
of Russias demand for the practical cession OF
Manchuria to her is best TO be read in the light
Of q few historical citations. The gist Of the
news is that IL Russia has her way no more
Manchurian ports or towns are to be opened to
Americans no more American consuls are TO
be admitted to Manchuria, no Americans are to
be employed In the public service Of Manchuria,
and no land IN Manchuria is to be sold to Amer
leans; while Russians, and Russians alone, are
TO enjoy all the privileges thus denied 70 Amer1-
CANS. Now, Manchuria is a part Of China, or
OF the Chinese Empire. That fact is recog-
nized by Russia. since the latter power does not
itself issue these DEGREES, but demands that
China shall issue them Let Us see, then, what
are our relations with China. On June Is.
1858 the United States and China concluded
treaty which provided that (Article " "the
United States shall have the right 10 appoint
"consuls and other commercial agents. TO re-
~gde at such places In the dominions of China
~as shall be agreed to be opened" and that
lArticle XXX) should at any time the Ia
Using Empire grant 10 any nation or the mer-
~chants or citizens Of any nation any right,
privileges or favor connected with either navi-
"gation, commerce, political or other intercourse
(which is not conferred by this treaty, such
~right, privilege and favor shall at once freely
-inure TO the benefit Of the United States, its
-public officers, merchants and citizens"
That treaty is still in force Those provisions
of It are still In force, If plain English words
mean anything then for China TO exclude Amer
leans from rights and privileges IN Manchuria
which she permits Russians TO enjoy would be
g direct violation Of treaty pledges and oblga-
tons. The American Government and the Amer
lean nation would deeply regret TO learn that
China proposed such action, or that Russia IN
cited or coerced her so TO do.
Again. on September g. 1899, the American
Secretary of State, through the American Am
bassador at St Petersburg sEicited from the
Russian Government assurance that IT would
respect and maintain the principle Of the "open
door" IN China, and that any Russian claims OF
sphere OF influence would 'in no way inter
'Yere with any treaty port or any vested inter
"est- within that sphere, but that all nations
should continue TO enjoy equality OF treatment
In response the Russian Government through
Count Mouravief, on December 80, 1S99 said:
The Imperial Government has already demon
sstrated fits firm intention to follow the policy

THE TYNER INCIDENT.

Postma ster General Payne unquestonably dld
the right thing in summarily dismissing the AS
sistsnt Attorney General for the Postof1ce De-
partnent on discovering that, avowedly under
Mr. Trner's instructions, Mrs. Tyner had Sc
cretly removed the contents of a safe in her
husbands office. To say the least, so gross an
indiscretion had been committed that 1t was
virtually necessary to hasten Mr. Tyner's re-
tirement already demanded from place which
he was no longer qualified TO fill.
At the same time the public, as 1t appears to
us. can afford to grant the request contained in
the exculpatory statement given out on Thurs
dav night in Mr. Tyners behalf by his lawyers,
and withhold judgment as TO the question OF
Intentional wrongdoing on his part. The case
is an extraordinary one, and various hypothesis
are possible which are not seriously fnconsist-
ent with the essence Of his disclaimer. 1t IS
quite true that the natural way to carry out
an innocent purpose would have been to give
the Postma ster General or some one else IN
authority full knowledge of what was to be
done and the reason for it. But, on the other
hand. 1t seems as if there would have been no
difficulty in carrying out a guilty purpose IN
such n manner as to avert suspicion for the
time being and perhaps avoid exposure In
fact the course actually taken was SO boldly
foolish that one hesitates to believe it was
either honestly or dishonesty adopted with Mr..
Tyner's approval, unless. indeed, his mind has
become as feeble as his body.

ARMY MARKSMANSHIP.

OF all the lessons which were taught by our
war with Spain and by the war In South Africa
not one impressed itself more deeply on the
military authorities here and abroad than the
value Of craftsmanship. The widespread inter
est which is taken in target practice in all coun-
tries, the way in which the various governments
encourage work In that direction and the fire.
quency with which the value of good shooting
is called to the attention of the soldier show
that the soldier is expected to do effective work
when he uses his weapon. Spectacular features
are being gradually eliminated, arms which are
only ornamental are being relegated to the
curio collections along with armor, battleaxes
and clubs despite the protests of sentimental
lists. who regard the changes as an evidence Of
disregard of the good old times.
While the sword and the lance will go the
way Of the gold lace and bright colors, the rifle
and the man who carries it will gain In tmpor-
tance Secretary Root is an enthusiast on the
subject and by his direction much time will be
devoted throughout the service TO rifle practice.
A crack team viii be sent to England to COM
pete for the international trophy, and every
effort will be made to establish high standards
at the autumn shooting contests at Sea Girt
But the ambition of the authorities goes be-
yond trophies and prizes. and no matter what
the results may be this season efforts In the d.
rection of Improvement will not be relaxed.
The soldier of to-day to be master in his pro-
fession, must be good shot.

Germany few years ago formally agreed lhal
"the norts on the rivers and littoral of China
should remain free and open 20 trade ana 10
'.every other legitimate form of economic actlv-
.itv for the peoples Of all countries without
distinction" But the German Chancellor soon
afterward declared that that agreement had no
reference TO Manchuria. That seems to fndl-
cate that Germany viii not object to this Rus
sisn attempt TO seize those provinces. Great
Britain and Japan have also an agreement
hearing upon the case. That either of those
mowers will permit this threatened Russian ab-
sorption of some of the richest provinces OF
China 70 be effected without strenuous protest
seems impossible. But, whatever they or other
mowers NAV or may not do. the interest or the
United States is plain. and plain. too. are the
rights of this country 1t will be well for China
to remember that her treaty obligations of 1903
are still valid, and that the United States eX-
poets her faithfully to fulfil them. AS for the
Russian Government, it declared to the Amer
lean Government on December 80, 1890 that it
attached "the highest value to anything that
may strengthen and consolidate the traditional
relations of friendship existing between the
"two countries" The Russian Government can
strengthen and consolidate those relations in no
way more surely and effectively than by full
filling its pledge Of an "open door in China ana
by recognizing American rights and privileges
in Manchuria to be equal to It's own.

THE WISKER VERDICT,

BY acquitting Engineer Wisker of the charge
of manslaughter, the Jury before which he was
tried shows that it was not fully convinced that
he was negligent or careless Up to certain
point the prosecution made ont strong case
1t showed that the signals were properly set IN
the tunnel, that other precautions were used 10
warn the engineer, and that the brakes were IN
good working order The vital question, though,
WIS the condition of the air in the vicinity OF
Fifty-eighth-st. One witness declared that II
was positively clear. Another, the fireman OF
the Harlem train, asserted that from his SIDE
Of the cab the signals were visible. On the
other hand, a lamp tender at work in the tun-
mel at that very point and The rear brakeman
Of the New-Haven train testified that they
could not see them. Statements Of so conflict
ing character must have created much uncer-
tainty in the minds Of the jurors. and they nat
urally hesitated to hold Wsker responsible for
the accident. The fact that he was less famil-
lar with the signals in the central part of the
tunnel than with those in the side divisions may
possibly have been regarded mitigating cir
cumstance; but it is probable that his fate was
decided mainly by what was believed to be the
condition of the atmosphere.
One fortunate outcome of the sad business
which this trial brings into fresh notice is the
stimulus given thereby to schemes for the
substitution Of electricity for steam in the
Park-ave tunnel. Obscurity there is caused by
vapor and smoke as well as by fog. 1t is only
fair to say that the remarkable rarity of acct
dents from that cause reveals q singularly et1-
cient management. The public demands absO-
lutte perfection, however, and has long been
satisfied that by the adoption Of more modern
methods of hauling trains there the danger could
be still further lessened. There can be little
doubt that the matter had been considered by
the New-Yorz Central company long prior to
the collision Of January s, 1902: but that event
has hastened the consummatiOn. Though a
wear has been lost In securing necessary legisla-
ton at Albany, the company has not been in
active. Property has been acquired for the en-
Iargement Of the yard, electrical and civil engi-
neers have had chance TO mature their plans,
there have been negotiations with the INTERIOR
ough company for connections at Forty-second-
ST. and still other preparations have been in
progress. The abolition of smoke and steam in
the tunnel is certainly nearer to-day than 1t was
sixteen months ago.

THE MAYOR AND THE ELSBERG BILL


There is no sound basis Of facts for the as
sumption that Mayor Low. having changed his
mind at the last moment. wanted the Elsberg
rapid transit bill passed and consequently that
its defeat was a defeat for him. At the recent
hearing in his office the Mayor told the sup
porters OF the bill that he would give it due con-
sideration if it came before him. Afterward
it was announced at Albany, presumably on
sufficient authority, that he had Withdrawn MS
opposition to its passa ge-was entirely WlillnS,
that is to say to take the responsibility OF inter-
posing an effective veto in case q further eH-
animation did not overcome his objections. But
there is not the slightest reason to suppose that
he is annoyed because the legislature chose 10
keep the bill out of his hands.
What the real merits of the bill were is an
other matter. Perhaps they were greater than
the extremely foolish way in which 1t was ad-
vocated led many intelligent citizens to sup
pose This at least is certain that it was Vo-
luminous and i'll digested; that it made a great
many changes in the present law; that the mem
bers of the legislature did not generally under
stand it. and that they had no sufficient war
rant for accepting blindly the judgment OF out
siders who have evinced a rancorous hostility
to the Rapid Transit Commission and to the
municipal administration in respect to rapid
transit matters.

AS a waterway for boatmen the Harlem is
