MISTAKEN PARTY USAGES.

Connecticut has long been famous as the land
of steady habits" Conservative traditions are
honored in the Nutmeg State, and innovations
in theory or practice are slow TO find general
acceptance within its borders In politics, as
IN every other field OF activity Connecticut holds
fast firmly TO ancient customs. In this per-
sistence there is much that is credtable Yet
there is much also that is perplexing and open
10 criticism. What. indeed, can be more incon-
gruous and confusing than TO find a Connect
cut Republican convention, held in the year
1904. naming delegates 10 q Republican Ma
tional Convention and asking them 10 act in
that convention under the unit rule? Yet that
IS what the State convention which met at
w-Haven on Wednesday saw fit TO do 1t in

70 TBE 4JDERuEN-WHY?

1t is generally believed that the made to-order
committee of the Board Of Aldermen 10 inquire
into the rumors Of bribery in connection with
the Port Chester permit is without power 10
force testimony. 1t is also generally believed
that il does not want to force any testimony
in short. that its members are investigators who
can't investigate and don't want to investigate.
Now, the New-Yorb public really does not care
who started the rumors of bribery or where they
were started but there are severa! other ques-
tons in which that public is vitality interested
Why is il that certain elements in the board
have held up the permit for over a year: Why
have those same elementa acted In a way to
give color TO these rumors: Why the very
Permit so long withheld from the Port Chester
granted to another company Of doubtful validity
with such startling promptness as TO give the
impression that it had beer galvanized into a
show of life simply to block the progress of the
Port Chester project: Why is little Tim" Sui
Ivan so frightened that he frantically tries to
turn public attention away from these things by
uttering foolish falsehoods about reputable cit-
zens?
These are questions which need 20 be an
swered. No investigating committee Is required
10 find out these things. The aldermen them
selves are the proper persons to clear up the
mysteries; and the only way the public can he
stopped from inquirlug about them is In the
hands OF the aldermen This is the way: Pass
the Port Chester peTmit;-Or else, mar fashion

an honest reason.

VAR TIEUS OF EXPERTS.
Liao-Tung Peninsula apparently
Fairly Vel Inuested by japanese.
TFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington May 1.-THE military experts
have found something tangible on which to base
their theories and conjeCtuTes in to-days dis
patch from Kuropatkin. who announces the
movement Of the japanese from FenS-Wang-
Cheng TO Hai-Cheng. The dimensions OF this
force are not given, except in the description Of
it as "a strong Japanese column" There is
nothing in the dispatch to indicate the location
Of the Russian army the plans of the Rus
sian strategists The only significant sentence
in the Kuropatkin dispatch from which an esti-
mate may be made of the situation so far as il
relates to the Russians is the complaint Of diff
Guilty IN getting information from the local Chi
nese, who appear not only TO refrain from help
ing the Russians, but to be actively aiding the
Japanese, as is evident from the warning given
10 japanese scouts that Cossacks were preparing
an ambush for them. and enabling the Japanese
to escape If a military opinion is permitted on
the information at hand to-day, It is that the
Liao-Tung Peninsula is fairly well invested by
the japanese. and this means to the experts one
OF two things: Either the Russians have been
seriously outnumbered. and easily dislOdged.
or they have willingly given up important
strategic points for the advantage which will
come to them ultimately.
While the experts do not question the wis
dom OF the Russian retreat from the Yalu. some
OF them do not indorse the surrender OF such
strategic points as Ying-Kow. the port OF New
Chwang. New-Chwang itself, Port Adams and
Pitsu-Wo. It is believed that these places might
easily have been retained by the Russians I'M
less they were greatly outnumbered by the Jap
anese. To those experts who still hold the view
that the Russians are harboring their resources
and reserving their power the invasion of the
Japanese does not mean special advantage be-
yond the strategic one, which may be only tenn
porary in its benefit and operate later the
defeat of the Japanese. As the matter stands at
present. the Japanese are on the offensive, while
the simpler task OF defence. which can be main
tanned with half the force is taken by the
Russians II IS considered the proper Japanese
strategy for that army TO take defensive posi-
ton possible, when they have firmly
established themselves at important points in
the Lao-Tung peninsula.
Most OF the army officers believe that the real
campaign has not yet opened, and that the pres
ent events merely strategic movements, the
preliminary operations for advantageous posi-

PATIYG CONFLICTS.

There have been troubles with asphalt work
men in more than one of the boroughs on both
sides of the East River. 1t is important that
these dissensons should be adjusted fairly and
equitably at an early date, II possible The as

reform their ancient customs in other important
particulars The Republican National Committee
issued last January Il call for national con-
vention in which the method 10 be followed III
eecting delegates was laid down with great
precision. Ii was prescribed that deegates-at-
large two for each Senator and two for each
Representa- tiveat Large, should be chosen in
each State or Territory by popular State and
Territorial conventions" District delegates We're

vention, lin the manner OF nominating the can
didate for Congress il said district" In Con-
necticut these rules apparently disre-
garied both I'm letter and in spirit. The State
convention at NewHGven elected two delegates
at-large. CaucuSes OF convention delegates, each
representing of the four districts. seem to
have named the other four delcgates-a t-large.
and the eight district delegates appear to
have been named in county caucuses. Whether
the convention meant 10 apply the unit rule an
junction 10 the two delegate it actually
chose, TO the six delega tes-at-large it should
have chosen or to the entire State delegation of
fourteen is left entirely TO conjecture.
In a Presidential canvass like that of 1904
irregularities in the method OF choosing dele
gates will probably be winked at: but they
might invite a serious protest in any closely
contested campaign for the Presidential nomi-
nation. There is no reason why each State
should not live up to the rules prescribed in the
convention call. District delegates should not
be chosen at State conventions. they still are
in Connecticut and New-Ierscy. Connecticuts
desire TO cling 10 old traditions in politics may
be commended in some measure, but the Nut
meg State should not carry its passion for con
servatism too far. 1t should recognize the fact
that the unit rule discredited and aban-
doned nearly thirty years ago. 1t should also,
in choosing delegates TO the national convention,
willingly discard any local usageS which conflict
with the regulations framed by the national
committee.

The increased prevalence of cerebro- spinal
meningitis in this city since the beginning of
March, TO which The Tribune called attention
yesterday. has naturally excited uneasiness.
The total number OF deaths from this cause
In the whole State last year was 454, of which
"a occurred in the maritime district" whose
population Is confined almost exclusively to
the metropolis. In the course of the ten weeks
ended last Saturday the deaths in this city
from the disease numbered 357. or considera-
bly, more than the total for the entire twelve
months of 1903. Should the average mortality
Tor these few weeks be sustained for the whole
OF the current year, it would amount TO some
thing like $500. In the past cerebro-spinal
meningitis has usually held tho fifteenth ranl-
among fatal diseases in this community. Wore
more than 5000 lives lost here through its

agency. it would rise TO the seventh place in
the scale The combined influence of Group and
diphtheria in the maritime district last year
caused only 2,262 deaths. and cancer 2,S2S. \
disorder which even family threatens more
serious consequences than these is certainly
not TO be regarded with perfect serenity.
1t is improbable, however, that the present
havoc will continue. Cerebro-spinal meningitis
rarely makes as much mischief in the sum-
mer and autumn as in the winter and spring.
Sooner or later-perhaps within few weeks
a reduction in its prevalence will be detected
Should its progress he checked, the mortality
which it caused in 1S72 which was 1872 may
not be surpassed. The situation is unusual,
but as the medical profession and the health
board are alive TO the situation, the general
public need not worry. The trouble has not
yet reached the proportions Of an epidemic,
and there is little chance of its doing so.
Clemow. in his Geography OF Disease notes
that. though this fever is more prevalent at
one time than at another. il does not 90 through
a country like Influenza or cholera. The out
breaks are usually local and isolated geograph-
ically, hut occurrences in the same community
at irregular intervals may be expected. For
this and other reasons the malady is regarded
as mildly infectious. CIemow is convinced that
il is contagious to a far less degree than scar
let fever or measles. Even where Il number of
cases occur simultaneously II is difficult, if not
impossible. TO trace any connection between
them. The disease is apparently spread less
by the direct transmission of virus from one
person to another. as with smallpox. than by
the exposure Of several individuals or COM
munities TO 4 common source or injection. y
micro-organsm which seems TO he associated
with the malady was discovered by Weichsei-
baum n few years ago. but its share IN produc-
ing the observed symptoms is not fully proven
Whether or not this 'dpOcoccus' be the true
cause Of the trouble, the infection apparently
maintains its vitality for time independently
of the bodies Of the victims
The name spotted fever IS occasionally
bestowed upon cerebro-spinal meningitis. Inc
designation is unfortunate. however because
it is ambiguous. 1t is applied TO typhus fever
also-perhaps more frequently than TO the dis
ease in question.

D4LNT.

The Russians seem TO be following counsels
OF despair Upon no other ground can we easily
explain the performances reported by ViceTOy
Alexieff to the Car. Practically Dalny has
been destroyed The Niceroy says the docks
and piers have been blown up. That could
scarcely be done without also wrecking the
great warehouses and other buildings along the
waterfront and, indeed, the greater part of the
stone built city. The purpose of such destruc-
don was 10 make il less easy for the Japanese
t. land there, and 10 deprive them of the use
of the docks when they do land. TO that end
works performed "by order OF the Gar at
cost of millions of dollars are all but Obterated.
We say this seems TO have been done through
cOunsels of despair, because the possible loss
inflicted upon Russia herself by this act is in
comparabiy greater than any possible incon-
venience to Japan. We must suppose Russia
expects some day to regain use of Dalny. 1t is
entirely supposabIe that in case Japan wins
this war and drives Russia out Of Manchuria
she will be willing TO restore TO Russia fall use
of the Manchurian railroad and its commercial
terminus II was Japan's proposal before the
war that Russia should have undisturbed en-
joyment of that right; but now, IL Russia ever
does regain the OF her railroad and her
port, years Of labor and millions of dollars will
he required to repair the damage of single
desperate hour
On the other hand. the Inconvenience and IN
jury to Japan will be incOnsiderable, at least
so far as the war IS concerned. She does not
need the docks and piers Of Dalny for the land
ing OF her troops and supplies. Neither does
she need them for the of her warships Her
own home ports and the ports of COrea are near
enough at hand TO serve her purposes. If Rus
sia were expecting Japan to win the war and
take the Shing-King peninsula for her own as
she did i'll 1895 the destruction of Dalny might
lie explicable on the ground of making Japan's
conquest as little valuable to her as possible
But we cannot assume that Russia is yet ready
TO concede her own irretreyable defeat, nor
have we seen any cause for believing the re-
annexation of the Regents Sword to be q part
OF the Japanese programme In brief, Russia
seems to have performed an act which may
cost her very dear, but which can scarcely have
a perceptible effect upon the progress of the war
1t is to be supposed that the destruction of
Dalny was accompanied with the tremendous
detOnations which Admiral Togo heard many
leagues away, and which he attributed to the
blowing up Of the Russian ships al Port Arthur
The incident suggests the probability that
similar policy will he pursued at the latter
place, and that when il is no longer tenable and
before surrendering it, the Russians will de-
stray the ships and docks there. That, il II is
