TIE STATE OF RUSSIA.

The entrance of Prince Sviatop0lk-MlrSKy
upon the duties of Minister of the Interior seems
to be regarded in Russia with more enthusiasm
and hOpefulnesS than appeared at his appoint
mont 10 that office There Is a general FEELING
that a new era has opened, and that better uaSs
are dawnng upon the empire than 1t has known
before 1t NAV unhestatingly he said, as Rus
SLAMS say, and as the new Minister hlIhSeH
frankly SAYS, that there is much need OF re-
form. The question is whether the new Min
lister will be able to effect 1t. The task before
him is not one upon which he is 10 be cOngrafu-

to tax the ability of the most competent states

most urgent nature, specially raised by the
war with Japan There is widespread indus

THE GROWING USE OF CONCRETE.

Nearly the whole OF the last number OF 1.-THE
Cement Age" is devoted TO the service rem
dered by concrete in the building Of the New
York subway. Aside from the provision made
for transportation through that passage, the
work OF the contractors divided itself into
three principal tasks One was excavation. an
other was the safeguarding OF sewers, gas and
water pipes and electric wires that were tenn
porariIy exposed. and the third was the con-
struction of a substantial tube through which
the underground road should run. In this last
part OF the enterprise the principal reliance was
concrete. Rods OF steel were introduced into it
in order 10 lend additional strength. The same
metal was used in the roof arches. longitudinal
girders and pillars. Moreover, felt and asphalt or
mastic was required for waterprOOfng purposes.
For these features. however much smaller quan-
titles OF material were consumed than for the
rest OF the conduit, whose sides. top and bottom
consist almost exclusively of concrete, as do
also the station platforms and stairways
Two important objects have been promoted
by this system Of construction 1t was far more
economical than brick masonry. and cost the
taxpayers Of the city far less. IL enabled the
contractors 10 make lower bids than would
have been practicable otherwise. Again, far
more rapid progress was possible in cOnse-
quence. There have been vexatiOus delays
enough as IL is The restoration Of the surface
Of disturbed streets TO their normal condition
and the beginning of actual service on the un-
dergrOund road have been delayed in a way
that has sadly tried public patience. 1t is mani
fest, though, that IL concrete had not been so
extensively employed, the completion of the
work would have been deferred many months
| longer.
Hydraulic cement which is the most expen-
1 sive ingredient OF concrete is an old favOrite
lof hFf has fSl,-
| ing popularity and usefulness I'm the last five
or six years, so much so as TO initiate new
era in construction. IL does not equal in its
revolutionary influence the steel skeleton now
almost universally adopted for large buildings.
That innovation makes possible the erection
Of much loftier structures than would otherwise
be feasible. Concrete is merely a substitute for
other materials, more particularly brick and
| stone and works no radical changes In design.

TYPHOID.

There now recurs the yearly scare" over ty-
phOid fever. Accounts of the state OF affairs
differ. According 10 some, the prevalence OF
the disease and it's mRlignity are increasing far
beyond ordinary limits so that grave epidemic
is threatened, while others insist that affairs are
no worse than it Is usual for them TO be at this
time of year and that the situation is not at all
menacing. What seems certain is that there are
many cases OF typhoid sufficient to make it
worth while for the authorities to pay especial
attention to it, as they doing, and TO take
measures for it's suppression and prevention, as
they are also doing, and doubtless will be able
TO do effectually; for, grave malady as it is.
typhoid is of all diseases one of the most amen
able to prOphylactic measures and one of the
most inexcusa BILE for a civilized community 10
tolerate
What also Is certain Is this-that it cannot be
said too strongly or too confidently that New
York is not and Is in no danger of becoming.
fever stricken city. There are no conditions
here making possible general outbreak of ty-
phOid or giving rational cause for alarm TO resi-
dents and visitors. No person need hesitate 10
come 10 New-YOrk on sanitary grounds. Our
Health Department is alert and energetic. and,
despite all the mismanagement Of construction
works in the CrOtOn Valley. the healthfuIness of
our water supply is above challenge or sus.
piciOn. The fact is that the number of typhoid
cases at this time of year, when all circum-
stances are considered, is a tribute to- rather
than an impeachment Of the city's salubrity
for it is, we believe fact susceptible of literal
demonstration that the great majority OF them
are of external origin People go into the coun-
try for the summer or for vacation, and there
imblbe into their systems the germs OF the dis
ease, which begin to develop about the time OF
their return to the city. That is the experience
Of many every year. That Is why we have in
New York what seems almost like n mild cpl
demic OF typhoid every year at the end of sum-
mer and beginning Of fall.
While thus the primary responsibility for the
disease rests upon other communities, the re-
sponsibility Of dealing with IL rests upon New
York as one Of the alien burdens the metropolis
must bear. That is one of the penalties OF urban
greatness. Our hospitals and sanatOriums and
dispensaries are thronged with nOn-residents,
who come hIther from all parts Of the land for
healing IL is In one sense an imposition upon
New-York, and Il is something that unGuly
swels the death rate of the city; yet IT is some
thing that New-York must endure. and which,
indeed II Is proud 10 endure with the ample
generosity characteristic of this city. The
knowledge that we are suffering from number
OF imported cases Of typhoid therefore, will
