New York and the Fire Danger.

New York is assuring itself that no
general conttagration, such as that which
devastated Baltimore, could possibly oc-
cur in that city. owing to the higher eff
cheney OF the fre-fighting force, the great
er capacity OF the steamers and the pres
ence close at hand of unlimited quantities
of salt water. which, the Gotham firemen
declare, is a more certain extinguisher of
fire than fresh water Nevertheless the ire

the completeness of the destruction of the

Japan's Continued Success.

Japan not only struck the first successful
blow in the war with Russia in the night
attack by torpedoes at Port Arthur, but fol-
lowed it up with another by capturing or
destroying a cruiser and a gunboat at Che
mulpo. The dispatches regarding this sec
ond exploit are slightly conflicting as to
precise details, but they are sufficiently
verified to warrant the belief that Japan
has opened the war by two victories on the
sea, which have seriously weakened the
Russian navy without in the least degree
depicting her own. Furthermore dis
patch, which as yet lacks confirma ton.
comes today that the Japanese have cap
tured three Russian transports which were
carrying 1900 Russian troops to Korea.
The dispatches indicate a high state of
French indignation over the Japanese
stroke of war in advance of formal dec
laration. This is prejudiced view of the
case. There has been no time during the
past three months when it was not clearly
apparent to the watching world that Rus
STA was negotiating with war in view. 1t
was plain that the Russian purpose was to
postpone the inevitable conflict until the
spring, when she would be free of the dis
advantage of the ice in the harbors Japan
and precipitated the issue by insisting upon
a categorical reply to definitive questions

The cars supreme manifest" just pro-
claimed. is a declaration of defensive war
fare. 1t blames Japan for precipitat ting
hostilities. and for an unannounced attack
upon the unsuspecting Russian fleet at Port
Arthur. In the language of the day, it is
to laugh The solemnity of the imperial
language will not hide the joke. Russia
has been on war footing in Manchuria for
many months, has been watching Japan's
every move jealousy and suspiciously. and
has been prepared to strike heavily at the
first opportunity. If in the face of the de-
parture of the japanese minister from st.
Petersburg and the absolute certainty that
war was at hand the Russian feet could
not prevent surprise at night a confession
is involved of weakness and incapacity.
The French liken the night attack at Port
Arthur to the sinking of the Maine. That
is an awkward as well as weak parallel
Spain will not relish it, though of course
SPANS feelings do not count. But anyhow
it is unfair to the Japanese, assuming it to
be established that Spain herself did actu-
ally contrive the destruction of the Maine
case neither minister had left his post The
negotiations had not been discontinued
There was nothing in the world upon which
to base the claim that Spain and the United
States were then at war

Exploiting Ex-Outlaws.

A formal application has been filed with
the governor of Minnesota for full pardon
for Cole Younger, now out on parole. The
reason cited for this action is worthy of at
tention. Younger has for some time been
on tour through the country with an exhibit
ton of the wild west" variety, but under
the terms of his parole he can not exhibit
himself in person, so he only lends his name
to the show, together with that of another
noted ex-Outlaw. Younger desires to MAIN
tain show at the ST. Louis exposition and
to this end he wishes to be wholly freed
from the restrictions of the Law. And he
therefore prays the relief OF pardon.
This is perhaps as good a reason as could
possibly be advanced for refusing the par
