Washington, Oct. 14.--State depart

ance over the fact that nothing has
been done toward the erection Of the
"Temple of Peace" at The Hague, for
the construction of which Andrew Car

fund was turned over to the Neither

has been done with it except to invest

obtainable, is included in the ordinary

the uncertainty as to how long this
condition may continue that is caus-
ing comment. s1s"1
The state department has asked sew
eral polite questions about the fund
without being given any great amount
the Dutch government will be prodded
rather sharply.
The excuse for the delay is that, be-
cause of chickering's between owners

1t remains TO be seen, however, how effective
these formidable warriors viii be against new

in Manchuria are very different from what they
are along the Don and the Volga. On the vast
steppes Of European Russia the Cossack rides
his steed as a sailor navigates his vessel on the
sea. In a rugged. mountainous country he may
not fare so well. Then, there is the manner Of
warfare. In old times, against Napoleon, the

FIRE on THE ELEVATED ROAD.

The accident which occurred on the Second
ave elevated road on Sunday evening is not
pleasant thing TO contemplate. 1t revives tragic
memories Of an event on the Paris underground
road a year or two ago. and is suggestive Of
possibilities which may be realized some day In
the subway in New-York City. There no
loss OF life on this occasion, the worst harm re-
sulting from the panic which was inspired by
the sight Of the flames outside the advent Of
smoke from some source and the extinction OF
the lights in the cars. One may be excused for
imagining, however, that the conditions were
only a little removed from those which would
have produced much more disastrous results
The most vital question which is raised re-
lates to the fire resisting qualities Of the car
floors. The small amount OF wood there is sup
posed TO 10 so covered with asbestos as to be
shielded entirely from fame, and also to DO
impenetrable by smoke. Whether or not the
latter got into the cars from below is a point
which deserves tho most careful investigation
by the marlborough company. No one seems to
have discovered any fire inside the cars, and the
copper sheathing on the outside protected them
from the blaze which was created on the ele-
waited structure itself. 1t is conceivable that
the invasion by smoke was made possible by the
smashing of glass for purposes Of escape.
Darkness and excitement would not be con-
ducive 70 accurate observation. Possibly the
testimony OF the passengers may DC erroneous.
Still, the Interborough company cannot afford
TO let any doubt remain on that score.
Among railroad men the steel cars recently
ordered for the subway are looked upon as dis
tinctly superior to the copper sheatheG wooden
ones. If that conviction is well grounded, it
may be wise 20 delay the opening of the under
ground line until it can be equipped exclusively
with steel rolling stock. The copper covered
cars could then be retained for the elevated
roads. 1t would be better to wait year longer,
IL necessary, before running subway trains than
to make a serious mistake In the safety OF tho
cars.
