WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Waiting for Ne1gs of a Great Battle
Russian NaCaI Strategy

Washington, June 29-The military view ad-
heres to the theory prompted by to-day's ad-
vices from the Far East that big battle can
not be avoided. Those army officers who have
had faith in Russian superiority do not find
their confidence shaken. they say. by the re-
verses which have overtaken the troops under
Kuropatkin. SO little is known OF what is con-
templated and of the actual situation that these
Russian sympathizers among the experts are
not willing to change their views on account of
anything reported from the scene of operations
They say actual retreat would not mean that
the Russians have suffered q serious repulse,
and that the engagements so far Of which in
formation has been received are Of no conse-
quence, judging from the casualties reported.
The big conflict is yet to come. and it is for this
that the military theorists here are waiting with
the keenest anticipation.
Naval officers would not be surprised 70 learn
of another Russian attempt to get ships out OF
Port Arthur Harbor The incident is consid-
cred by naval officers as of great Importance
from the point of view Of the Russians. 1t
would enable junction with the remainder OF
the Russian ships at vladivostok, and so pro
vide a fleet of sufficient dimensions to command
great respect from the Japanese, who would be
forced to send vessels to the vicinity of Vladi-
vostok and to other places which would then be
liable to attack from the Russian ships. For
this duty the Japanese would be obliged to with
draw most of their vessels from before Port
Arthur. II the latter place should fall-and
most OF the naval officers believe it is only a
question OF time when the Russian base and
port will come into the possession OF the Japan
ese-the ships of the Russians in that hareor
would be destroyed by the Russians If not by
the Japanese. 1t would be a loss and humilia-
ton bound to have it's effect on the fighting
force. importance
Arthur no matter at what risk, is considered
above anything else in the way or Russian
strategy in that direction IL II cannot De &C
compIished in fleet formation 1t is believed that
the attempt must quickly he made to get few
vessels out of the port on the desperate chance
that more will escape.

"CRIMYNAL NEGLIGENCE"

The sweeping verdict rendered by Coroner
Berry's jury Will cause no surprise. Any other
utterance would have been an amazing outcome
of the hearing which has just been ended.
Never since the initiation of steam navigation
had such a loss Of life occurred as the one into
the causes of which this inquiry was pushed.
The sacrifice was clearly caused by the made
quacy of the provision made fer suppressing
fire and for averting death by drowning. 1t was
equally obvious that the startling and shameful
deficiency in question was the result of criminal
negligence 1t remained, then, only to fix pro-
visionally the personal responsibility for what
happened. The jury performed that duty exact
Iy as the mass of other intelligent, honest and
disinterested men would have done; and in thus
vOicing popular sentiment it has earned the
gratitude of the whole community.
1t is due to Mr.. Berry TO say that he conducted
the preliminary examination in an admirable
manner. He refrained from sensationalism,
showed a singular impartialty in his rulings.
tempered flrmness with courtesy and discretion.
avoided undue haste or superficalty, and yet
exhibited commendable energy and promptness
in bringing the inquiry to conclusion. His
bearing during the last three weeks has marked
him as an official notably superior to the aver
age coroner He has certainly risen 10 the oc-
casiOn. 1t is gratifying to observe moreover
that General Burnett has also been fully alive
to the situation. By taking the necessary steps
to convene the federal grand jury as soon as
the coroner had finished his work, the United
States District Attorney makes it evident that
he will let no grass grow under his feet Be
fore many days have elapsed it is reasonable to
hope he will have secured the indictment of the
persons whom the coroner's jury find at fault
Mr.. Jerome has been alert to his own duty in
the matter, but he shows good sense in remain
ing inactive at present. The federal statutes
which are applicable TO the case have a wider
scope and impose severer penalties than the
State laws. Hence it is much preferable to pro-
coed under the former.
There is great propriety in the recommended
ton made by the corOner's jury to the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor 1t is not enough
TO punish those who have been guilty of crimi-
nal negligence II the past. Regard must also
be had to the future. To send Mr. Lundberg
to prison for sighting his duty will exert Il
wholesome influence but much better assrr-
ance is needed than the conviction of one Of
fetal that inspection by others will not be
11rclcal and inefficient. An Improvement in adj
mlnlsration is called for. Before his retire
ment from the Cabinet Secretary CorteIyou rec
ognlzed the fact. 1t is safe TO say that his sue
cessor. approaching the same existing need. will
not take anliss the reminder just given by the
local authorities.

THE PORT ARTHUR FORTS

The report Of the capture of three forts at
Fort Arthur by the japanese would if con
| hrmed, account for the desperate efforts of the
RUSSIAN fleet to escape from that harbor The
| capture OF the forts would mean the impend-
ing and imminent fall Of the city itself 1t is
not TO be supposed that the Russian naval COM
mander will willingly let himself and his sbins
be captured with the place He would prefer
10 fight his way out. If in doing SO he should
perish with all his ships, there would be
chance OF intiicting some compromising injury
upon the enemy. If he should succeed in fore
/ Ing MS way through the enemy's line with even
Few OF ms ships, he might reach n neutral
port where he could lay them up until the end
OF the war, and thus save Just so much for tho
imperial navy. At any rate, he would naturally
make the effort 70 get out before Port Arthur.
fell.
Port Arthur lies in sort of crater, open at
one side to the sea. and with another narrow
/ opening at the north through which the railroad
enters. From the sea at little south Of east
10 the railroad gap at due north there extends
IN great arc a steep range Of hills, crowned
with Notifications. These hills. or the crests of
them. are from two 20 three miles from the
! centre of Port Arthur Each hill has its own
name ana the fort on each hill is named for
( the hill. The names in the dispatch Indicate.
. therefore, that the forts captured are those on
/ CAlk-Nan, Chit-An and So-Cho hills If that
news be confirmed. It is most ominous for Port
! Arthur for hostile force occupying hilltop
forts only two or three miles from the centre
Of the place could soon make the Port untenable.
In case, however, these forts are captured,
and in case Port Arthur speedily falls. it will
not be judicious TO think that therefore the war
is ''al over except the shouting" There are not
a few military authorities, including If we have
been rightly Informed, the commander in chief
OF the Russian armies in Manchuria, who have
all along held that it was a mistake to try to
defend Port Arthur, and that the Russian posi-
ton would be strengthened by the fall of that
place. Whether or not that view is correct we
must regard LiaoYang, perhaps Moukden
as the chief centre of interest. A pitched battle
between the mighty armies which are now con-
fronting each other there would be of far more
importance than the capture of a few forts or
Of the whole citadel and town of Port Arthur

prived of water from that source at times when
it was most urgently needed.
Thus is the Governor justified. The city does
not want the water subject to an obligation TO
protect the inhabitants of the watershed. Its
offer, then, was only pretence The Duchess
County people were to be buncoed with n prom
Use TO use only the surplus water under sys-
tenn Of conservation, and when the city had pos

venience. The promise was we'll enough as n

mendation that the city go west of the Hudson
for its water. The water is superior. the popu-
lation more sparse and altogether that region
is specially desirable and should. we told,
lie sought in preference to any other. Are we
to cOnstrue this as another tentacle of Ramapo?
When the Governor signed the Smith bill we
heard that it was a Ramapo scheme TO shut
the city out of Duchess and force it across the
Hudson. Has the Ramapo monster esta blished
himself in the aldermanic chamber? We leave
the question to the excited writers and poll
tcians who have seen Ramapo behind the Gov
ernor's chair. The aldermen seem to be out
doing him in pushing the city across the river
into the arms Of Ramapo.

incur sacrifices which might be brought to an
end. The point TO which we invite attention Is
that distinguished opponent Of the Philippine
Policy which the government is pursuing boldly
invites his fellow citizens to abandon the plea
OF devotion TO the Filipinos and consider how
much it costs TO educate and elevate them. Mr..
Olney disdains TO wear the mask of unselfsh-
ness which many have always been careful
to put on, and frankly asks what warrant there
is in law or reason for continuing to burden
ourselves 'for the benefit of motley groups OF
THE brown people of the tropics, between whom
and the taxpayers there is absolutely no com
''munity either of interest or of sympathy"
Whatever may be thought of the view which
he thus takes of the question, Mr.. Olney's
candor is most commendable, and we venture
TO hope that some. at least. of those who have
disingenuously professed different motive will
be embOdened to follow his example and adopt
an honest, If untenable, position.

MIDSEA FISH AT MIDLAND.

There Will be few if any more interesting
exhibits at the st. Louis Fair, judged by their
source and the manner of securing them, than
that which has been got from Bermuda by DR..
Bristol of NeWYork University. For years DR..
Bristol has been supplying the New-YOrk Aqua
rum with all kinds of beautiful, ugly, queer,
outlandish and interesting inhabitants of the
sea from New-York Universitys biological
station at Bermuda. He has found il by no
means easy to convey some Of the specimens
even to this port, and has had to resort to
various novel devices to do so. But now he has
undertaken the vastly more difficult task of
conveying multitudes of living fish from the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean to the middle Of
the American continent, and it is to be assumed
that he will succeed
The achievement is invested with much ro-
mance-that romance of science which is the
full peer Of any romance Of chivalry But 1t
IS more than romantic. 1t has distinct edu-
cGtional value OF a novel kind. Living Great
ures from the coral groves and grottoes OF the
deep Atlantic will be seen by myriads of peo-
pie for the first time and by people who never

restaurants in the metropolis of the West in
weeks when conventions or other causes of as

1t could hardly be expected that managers of

RAllAPO AGANY

The Committee Water Supply of the Board
Of Aldermen furnishes an instructive common
tary on the prevailing abuse in this city OF the
Governor for signing the Duchess County
Water bill. 1t has been said that the bill was
utterly unnecessary 10 protect Duchess County
interests, for the city wanted TO use only the
surplus water and had offered to build reser-
voirs to conserve the supply. The Governor in
sisted that the city should assume in binding
form an obligation TO perform its part of this
bargain, but this precAut0n has been sneered
at by his critics as mere pretence for aiding
Eamapo. Now comes the alderInanic commit
tee, to which is referred the question of an
extra session In accordance with the Govern
ors Offer declaring that the Duchess water
sheds are not worth while unless the city can
retain the liberty to despoil the local population
and repudiate at will the promise made at AL
bany 10 quiet the fears of the Duchess County
people. 1t says that if the law was amended to
allow the taking Of wafer under the terms of
