WOULD SAVE MONEY.

1t seems to US that all concerns
which use overhead wires for any pur-
pose, with the exception, possibly, of
the street railway companies, ought to
engage diligently, at whatever cost. in
the work Of putting these wires under
ground. Probably nobody connected
with any such concern will deny that
the first cost is the only obstacle. In
the long run it would be paying prop
osition. The cost of keeping overhead
lines in repair, of renewing worn out
material, Of frequent Interruptions to-
business by breakage and OF restora-
tons that have to be made after almost
every storm would actually pay inter-
est on the entire amount required TO
place these wires under ground, would
defray the cost Of their maintenance
in conduits and leave handsome profit
besides.
The burning out OF telephone
switch board in this city is case in
point. The actual cash loss is immense.

the change. This being a time when
huge capitalizations brighten nobody,
we do not see why, as plain business
proposition, the work of placing all

does not proceed. 1t is no longer a
matter of sentiment, but of ordinary
good business conduct

SAFETY THE FIRST coNsIDERA-
TON,

The Globe has from the begin
sonable and rigid precautions against
danger from fire in the theaters and
other places Of public resort in this
city, and for their inf1exible enforce
ment by the authorities. We have
protested against indifference on one
side and a hysterical resort to unnec-
essary and impossibly severe activity
on the other. This middle ground Of
reason and common sense we think
will be taken and held.
1t is certain that the aisles Of the
aters should not be permitted to be oc-
cupied in any manner whatever. These
passages are narrow enough at best,
and are the only means by which the
audience can even start in case Of dan
ger toward a place Of safety. The GUS
tom, which has been not infrequent, OF
when there was crowded audience
should be made so serious an offense
that it would never again be known. It
may be proper enough to permit stand
ing room, the foyer alone to be occu-
pied. That portion Of the house Is
nearest to the main exits, and in case
Of danger or alarm would empty itself
upon the street before the main body
Of the audience had started. We be-
lieve that permission to stand In the
foyer might be granted with safety,
but standing room ought not to be al
lowed anywhere else in the house.
While we are about it let us remind
all the authorities once more that their
duty does not stop with making pro-
visions for the security Of theaters
alone. There are other places Of pub
lie resort in this city, some of which
T h Clio b e has designated by name
and to others of which it has pointed
with sufficient plainness, that ought to
have their doors closed and locked to-
morrow. They are so bad that they
are almost beyond the reach Of re-
form. Frequently filed with audi
ences, they threaten ten lives where
the regular theaters threaten one.
Let us be consistent and reasonable
throughout. Let us adopt severe, but
not radical Or revolutionary rules for
fire protection, and then let us apply
them to all people and places without
exception or discrimination. The duty
is so plain and the responsibility, as
shown by the experience Of Chicago. is
so great and so horrible that we do
not see how there can be weakness on
one side or opposition on the other.

able in the United States. If these be
recklessly slaughtered and the product
thrown upon the market, the country
will be, within few years, deprived
of one of its finest resources and be
sent to foreign markets for its lumber
supply. If they are conserved, the
owners will retain perpetual source
of wealth, and the country be spared
all those injuries, commercial and eli
matte, that follow indiscriminate forest
destruction.
The men in control of these great
properties have grasped the central
proposition. They look at it as a bust
ness undertaking. What no individual
before the years of combination and no
company could have undertaken, they
propose to do. They have asked the
cooperation of the federal bureau of
forestry in studying their forest hold
ings and recommending plan for their
most profitable utilization. 1t is the
realization of a great idea. 1t is one
of the happiest and most promising
commercial movements of this time. 1t
puts the first check upon the total de-
struction of American forests. 1t sus-
tains old industries and creates new,
and it outlines policy that will gov
ern the treatment of our timber re-
sources hereafter. The whole country
has an interest and a stake in this
splendid work which combined capital
has shown itself ready to undertake.

DEVELOPMENTS OF THE WAR.

Whatever advantages have been
gained since the opening of hostilities
most assuredIy remain with the Jap
anese, but it is too early to build much
with certainty upon those victories-if
they can be so called.
The little men have shown them
selves to be active, alert and capable.
They are the Yankees of the Orient in
fighting as well as in commerce, and
they appreciated at once the tremen-
dous importance Of striking hard and
early. The audacity Of their first at
tack at Port Arthur gave them stand
ing because of its success-and it was
successful because they properly
gagged the Russian. The feat invited
the attention of the world to the par
allel drawn at once between the meth
DDS and capacity Of the Japanese and
Russians, comparatively, and those Of
the Americans and Spaniards in the
late war. The Americans won because
they knew how to fight their ships at
sea and were not afraid to take the
initiative.
That is where the great advantage is
in the fact that Japan has new ships
and her men are not bound by naval
traditions in fighting them. Russia, on
the other hand, has had little expert
ence in sea fighting, and her officers
have set notions as to fighting Of their
ships. During our own Civil war,
Toombs, of Georgia, said early in the
campaign that the South could whip
the North with popguns. When re-
minded of this after the war he said:
''Well, we could whip them with pop
guns, but the Yanks wouldn't fight
that way" The Japanese will insist
on fighting under conditions as they
find them-and they will make the
conditions if possible.
But while the Japanese successes at
sea will have something more than
AA0OA o1 CALCCI On Inc P1OSIGSS u Iu6
war, Russia will not permit the enemy
to settle the matter afioat. There may
be very different story to tell when
the land forces come into collision, be-
cause Of the superior weight of the
Russians and their undoubted capacity
in the field. We know nothing of the
capacity Of the Japanese foot soldier
except that he is brave, active and ca
pable Of sustaining himself in a coun-
try where the Russians would starve.
And this latter qualification makes it
probable that the Japanese will uIti-
mately prevail. Russia is paraIyzed
now in the face of difficulties arising
from the necessity of operating far
from the base Of supplies.
1t is early yet to predict the outcome
of the war, but the Jap is doing ia
mously, and there is reason for believ-
ing that he viii eventually check the
Bear in the East.

RUSSIAN is KILLED BY
HIS OWN INVENTION
Capt. Stepanof Is Blown Up With
Gunboat While Laying Mines.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 16.-Capt.
Stepanof, who was blown up with the
torpedo gunboat Yenisei and who him
self invented the system for laying sub
marine mines which is considered re-
sponsible for the catastrophe, had
caused the Yenisei to be fitted with his
device for the rapid laying of mines,
whereby a trolley line extended beyond
the vessels stern, along which the
mines slid out and dropped into their
appointed places. This plan did away
with the cumbersome work of laying
the mines from small boats.
The accident was due to the eX-
cessive strain on the Yenisei's anchor
cables while the mines were suspend
ed, pending the immersion. The two
cables snapped and one mine collided
with another.
