THE OPENING OF WIJU.

When Secretary Hay found that the
Chinese government would acoede to
his request to declare Antung, Man

lister Allen at Seoul to request the
Korean government to make Wiju.
which is On the Korean border side Of
the Yalu river. opposite Antung. also
an open port.
The Russian government secretly
opposed both propositions. Owing to
the srtong pressure brought upon the
Chinese government by the Ameri-
can secretary, and the approaching
complications with Japan, Russia gave
in aud permitted China to sign the
treaty. At the same time the Rus
sian minister to Korea WAS urgently
demanding of the frightened emperor
that he refuse to open Win as the
Russian government did not want an.
other foreign outpost so close to Man
churia. Minister Allen pressed for a
reply but the emperor succeeded in
delaying matters until the war broke
out and the Japanese invaded his
country.
As soon as the Rus sian minister
and his soldiers were out of the way
the emperor acceded to Mr.. Allen Is
request and Win will be open 20 the

The significance of the opening of
this port directly opposite the port of
Antung can be readily understood.

DRINKING FOUNTAINS.

1t is much TO be regretted that there are SO
few drinking fountains for man and beast in
the various districts of this city. 1t is matter

WHAT TEXAS THINKS OF IT.

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT AND THE MAINE.

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT AND THE MAINE.
Hostile criticism of the course taken by the
Acting Secretary OF the Navy with respect TO
the proposed removal Of the wreck of the Maine,
which has been lying in the harbor Of Havana
for six years, misses its mark. The facts are
that the contractor thought it would be advis-
able, before beginning his work, to obtain an
assurance that our government would not inter-
fere or object, and to that end addressed 3 COM
munication 10 the Navy Department In reply
Mr.. Darling, having obtained the opinion of the
judge advocate general reminded the contrac-
tor Of the position taken by the department two
years ago, when it announced that it considered
It had no more authority than any other execu-
tive branch of the government TO abandon the
wreck of public vessel the disposition of the
public property of the United States resting
with Congress. The department then declined,
and must still decline, "to give a letter or other
paper which would he in the nature Of creden-
'tials 10 be presented to the Cuban govern
'ment,' not necessarily or presumptively be-
cause OF unwillingness to have the wreck re-
moved. but for want of jurisdiction.
1t appears, therefore that the Acting Secre-
tary has done nothing that he was not required
TO DO and those who Sympathize with the Cuban
governments natural desire to remove the wreck
of the Maine because it is an obstruction to

reservations on the subject to the State Depart
ment at Washington which might result in an
act OF Congress authorizing such disposition
Of public property. If it has taken that course
already, Congress may be at fault and the
Cuban government may conceivably decide TO
get rid of an incumbrance in domestic waters
without further negotiations. In any case, the
Navy Department is free from blame

have a right to do such things. But the Rus-
sian steamer Smolensk purported when 1t pa sseu
through the Dardanelles TO be not warshlp'
but a merchant ship. Russia, then, seems 10
be confronted with three courses, among whlch
she must choose. She must admit that she
sent warship through the Straits under false
pretences, which would be violation OF the
Treaty of Paris, or she must admit that one OF
her merchant vessels has been doing something
which only warship has a right 10 do, which
would be a violation Of international maritime
law; or she must demonstrate In what manner
a vessel can be a merchant ship when 1t passes
the DardaneIles and a warship after 1t has
passed the Suez Canal without entering II port
on the way, which may be difficult thing TO
do. Unless, of course, she adopts the fourth
course, of Gisavowing and apologizing for the
Smolensk's action, which would not be pleas
ant thing for her to do.

POOR RTSLNESS

1t is 10 be hoped that the Sinking Fund Com
mission at its meeting to-day wiz take decisive
and judicious action in respect TO the Staten
Island ferry. The management Of that affair
has been striking example Of bad municipaI
housekeeping, for which Controller Grout ap-
pears 10 be chiefly responsible but which. how
ever the blame may be apportloned, is discred-
liable 10 the administration The people of
Staten Island have been without suitable facili-
ties for getting 10 the mainland and home again
so long that the memory of man runneth not
10 the contrary. When they became citizens OF
Aew-AOrk they fondly hoped that their new
claims 10 consideration would insure better
treatment. But thus far they have been griev-
ously disappointed. The ferry service is rela-
lively worse than ii was many years ago in
the dear old bucolic era which seems so remote;
or. If not worse. which might be hard to prove
at least it is no better. In 1903 the legislature
authorized the municipality to acquire the prop
erty and operate the boats and negotiations
directed TO that end were begun with reasona-
BILE promptness; but a deadlock supervened
which ought TO be broken to-day
The company owning the land under water
the upland and the Improvements, which in
clude the ferryhouse and other buildings. rail-
road tracks and an expensive bridge offered
the property to the city for S5S0,Oo0. The Dock
Commissioner was willing 10 pay S525OO0 but
the Controller thought 100000 enough. There
upon competent appraiser selected by the
former made an examination, and reported
that S539,00O was a fair price. The company
decided 10 accept that amount. but the Control
Ter remained memorable and the Dock Commits
sioner has been asking ever since 10 have con-
demnation proceedings begun. In the mean
time the company's franchise has expired. and
It is running the boats without obligation to
pay the city any part OF the recompense which
the franchise exacted. Nor is it inclined TO ac-
cept the suggestion of the Sinking Fund Com
mission that it should renew the franchise for
year without any stipulation as to the ulti-
mate purchase of its property. II is obvious
that the city is in a Instantaneous position
as matters now stand, foE it is losing money
at the rate Of $4,000 year. Whether it would
gain anything by resorting To condemnation
proceedings cannot be positively determined in
advance, but inasmuch as they are usually ex-
pensiye and an independent appraisal has al
ready discredited Controller CIRCUITS valuation.
there is reason to think that purchase ar the
reduced price which the company is willing TO
accept would be good bargain for the city.

ANOTHER FLAG INCIDENT

Some United States soldiers stationed at Fort
1otten few days ago received a lesson In be-
havlor toward civilians and are suffering pen
altes for having acquired the delusion that II
was one Of their functions TO tell persons what
flag they might or might not fly on their own
premises. Some similar discipline is apparently
needed in the Police Department. and we call
the attention of Commissioner McAdoO TO the
reports Of the proceedings OF Sergeant Conboy
and Patrolmen Walsh and Thwaite, of the Null
berry-st station. That IS right close to Head
quarters, and the true spirit Of police duty
should have emanated from Commissioner Me-
Adoo to that point before now If Mr.. McAdoo
IS himself in any doubt about the character OF
the sergeants reported act in relation to the
Italian flag floating from q tenement house In
Prince-st.. he might get some light by consult
Ing Mr.. Justice Gaynor, who, Notwithstanding
some radical expressions the subject has
told vast amount Of hard. cold truth about the
abuses OF police power in this city. II an Amer
lean citizen endured IN Russia the indlgnities
and inyaslons of personal rights which the po-
lice every day infict upon the poor and igno-
rant here, he would fill the magazines with de-
nunciations of Russian tyranny
The Italian builders and watcher of the tene-
ment house In Prince-st. had right TO display
an Italian flag there If they wanted to, so far
the public and the police We're concerned
If the owner did not object TO their exhibit
ton while the building was In their hands It
was nobody else'S business. They could put it
above below or beside the American flag The
taste Of their arrangement may have been good
or bad. The sentiment toward this country as
compared with their own shown by these Ital-
ians may by us be regretted. But on their
own premises 1t their privilege to fly any
flag they wanted to, and 1t was an act Of op-
preston for the police to interfere. The police
had no more right to go into that tenement TO
take the Italian flag than they would have to
enter the home Of Mr.. McAdoo TO take from his
window a political poster which they did not
like, or the home of Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan
to remove a painting which fell under the con-
demnatiOn Of some station house art critic.
This is a petty matter but it is not a petty
principle which is involved. Commissioner Nc
Adoo should promptly investigate Sergeant
Cowboys conduct. and il he finds that he acted
as reported punish him severely enough to
teach a lesson to the force. The common no.
ton Of policemen that they are dlyinely APP
pointed lawgvers, particularly in dealing with
the foreign elements of the population and that
they free to violate domlcile, arrest persons
without warrant whom tll>~ have seen commit
no offence, and generally play the despot so
long as the victims are poor and live in a tene-
ment house is one which neeus eradication.
