ENGLAND is now worrying over the
contemplated visit Of King Edward to
Emperor William at Kiel, for fear that
he will be overcome by the latter's
hypnotic power and inveigled into
some entangling diplomatic alliance
that may prove anything but satisfac.

left Seattle the last week OF May, for
Nome, on the steamers Senator, Vic.

dearth in the steerage indicates that

FRIDAY MORNING, JlNG 10, 1901.
A New Life for Marrow Streets.


1t Is proposed to arcade Nassau
street, New York, and to close it to
heavy vehicles, such as drays and
trucks. II this is done. probably the
same innovation will extend to Wall
street, Maiden Lane, and other narrow
thoroughtarcs in the older part OF the
III etropolis. The roofing will consist,
II il i, done, Of beautiful archway of
crystal and colored glass. As the street
is one OF the narrow thoroughfares that
remains OF the knickerbocker days,
and is at times congested by the heav-
Ter traffic, it seems proper to make the
change, if for no other reason than to
divert to the wider street. trade that
crowds the pedestrians at times from
what seems to be peculiarly their own
field Of operation.
1t may he that the idea is taken
from an arcade in Milan, Italy the
Galleria Nittorio Emmanuele) built
over forty years ago by one OF the
most gifted OF modern architects, G..
Mengoni. who lost his life in falling
from one of its portals in 1877. This
arcade is 600 feet in length and cost
$l,GO0,0G0. II is 4S feet wide and "a
IN height, in the shape of Latin
cross, with an octagon in the center
$50 feet in height. As this struc.
ture considerably antedates Bellamy's
dream of the progress that had been
made in the twentieth century, where
by the thoroughfares we're covered
from Indictment weather by an ingen-
iously contrived roofing that could be
swung into position by the people COL
lectively as easily as an umbrella can
be raised by its owner individually. it
is fair to infer that there were dream
ers couple score OF years ago, who
while the brain was in repose and
their faculties apparently obscured by
the mystic veil Of Slumber saw posi-.
bilities that are continually being en-.
ing enrolled as verities in the volume
Of scientific discovery.
The principal objection to this pro-
position is noted by the Scientific
american, and that is the same objec.
ton that has been vainly urged against
telegraph and telephone wires, in
fighting fire, with this to say of the
arcade, that it might he constructed
with a system OF movable skylights
that could be easily and e1peditiously
swung out Of way, automatically, if
need be, by the electric current that
turned in the alarm for that district.
There is. it is safe to say, no objection
that can be urged for which some ade.
quate relief may not be provided by
the inventive energy Of the age, and
we may expect in the course Of very
short time that the arcade street will
find its place with the subway that is
coming in use, and elevated railway
that has proven its utility, thus com.
pletely obviating the error made by
allowing the "cow- paths" to become
the principal arteries OF trade in some
of our larger cities.

STILL HAVING PHENOMENAL WEATH.
Err IN THE MIDDLE WEsT.-Kansas is
again suffering from floods. All the
tributaries of the kaw river have be-
come raging torrents, and not from
the usual cause of "June freshets,"
melting snow, but heavy and persist
ent rain-falls. At Newton, over GOO
persons have been rendered homeless
by sudden rise in Sand creek, which
flows through the town. The rise OF
water to the second story windows is
attributed to cloudburst and many
people had to be rescued in boats, ON
the night OF the % inst. At Emporia,
four inches of water fell during the
day and the river rose six inches an
hour, flooding the lower part OF town
and doing much damage. At Sterling
and Lorraine, two inches OF water fell
in ten minutes, and the wind was so
terrific that several houses were blown
down. The same report Of unparal-
leled floods come from all parts of the
State, and the loss to crops and prop
erty will run up into several hundred
thousands of dollars.

ANOTHER SOURCE OF DANGER.-And
now new source OF terror, aside from
floods and tornados, menace our people
and from a direction which transfers
the solicitude to district that has
hitherto escaped about all apprehen-
sion OF danger from the unexpected
happening. 1t is the staid old N. y.
Tribune which sounds the alarm, and
that but adds to the fear OF possibility.
1t says that large number-about
400 to be exact-of the mines placed
in Russian waters by the Car to keep
off troublesome intruders, have slipped
their moorings and gone to sea, plac-
ing the worlds shipping at the risk of
being dynamited at any moment by
these moving means of destruc ton.
These will, it is said, in the course of
time, drift by the prevailing current to
the Pacific coast and may land any
where from California to Alaska and
blow up any town from San Diego to
Nome. 1t will require fortunately, at
the rate of flow of the Gulf Stream
over the usual course, about four years
for these ugly customers to reach this
coast, and then their presence will not
be detected until calamity has oc.
Cured or some ship has disappeared
without leaving token of her fate. If
this is one of the results to the world
of the perverseness of an autocrat who
has hitherto, till the war commenced,
commanded respect, the sooner the
Mikado makes an end OF him the bet
ter it will be for all concerned.
