Washington. April 22.-President Roosevelt had
nearly an hours conference this afternoon with
Professor Hugo Munsterberg, OF Harvard U1iver-
sity. I'VE had a long talk political SUBJECTS
said Professor Munsterberg. after he left the
Presidents office.
J. l. Griffith. an Indianapolis lawyer, VINO was
introduced at the White House to-day by Repre-
sentative Overstreet. told President Roosevelt that
he was preparing a biography OF the late President
Harrison
'aT'he work will require about year and haIr
think" said Mr. Griffith, "and the President mas
upon my request promised TO give me all ne can
relating TO General Harrison's Civil Service IDEAS
AS President Roosevelt was Civil Service Commits
sioner during General Harrison's administration, l
do not know Of any one who could throw better
light upon the feature mentioned. The President
told mo that he would go very thoroughly into the
subject with me after Congress adjourned. so l
will return to Washington for that purpose some
time after the first Of the month"
About two hundred visitors will have a chance
at President ROosevelt's hand tomorrow. Ihe
town is full Of visitors and every one OF them
who can scrape up an introduction to Senator
or member Of Congress expects to meet the ChieI
MAGISTRATE and the statesmen themselves are
willing to arrange it, the President finds little

OVERTAYED BELLEVUE.

Painful revelations have been made with re-
gard to one OF the largest hospitals in the city
within the last few days. y considerable num-
Der of the doctors there have been stricken
with tuberculosis and other diseases in conse-
Quence of excessive devotion TO duty. Not only
has their own usefulness been thus Impaired
temporarily IL not permanently but a larger
share of labor has been thrown upon their asso-
ciates While in some cases the immediate
origin of the illness is obscure, there seems to
be no doubt that susceptibility has been height
ened by fatigue and loss of sleep. In one way,
If not in another, conditions existing at the
hosnitaI itself have contributed TO the result.
The most important factor in the situation is
that Bellevue is obliged to care for f. larger
number Of patients than she can well accom-
modate. In several wards the number or pa
tients is often from % to 40 per cent greater
than was contemplated when the institution
was designed. On the other hand the NUMBER
of nurses. as well as of physicians. is made
uuate to present requirements. A hospital ike
an ordinary individual, should be equal to an
occasional emergency. Neither of them, though,
can exercise its natural functions to the best
advantage when overtaXed continuously.
The initiation of practical steps for the en-
largement of the facilities OF this institution is
an urgent necessity. Plans have been drawn
for this purpose, but execution Is delayed 1or
lack of money. That hinderance should De
promptly removed In all civilized countries the
care of the sick has been recognized as mu-
nicipal responsibility when the victims own
purse or personal charity does not come to the
rescue In a hospital like Bellevue, wherein
very few patients pay for treatment, the COM
forts and refinements of n home or OF private
institutions are not 10 be expected. Certain
other things though, are essential Ample
room decent beds q nourishinC, if simple, diet
and n sufficiently large corps of physicians and
nurses to insure n high grade Of service are die
tated by common humanity. What Bellevue
needs most is more buildings. These cannot BIO
erected in a day. and without them the other
pressing requirements cannot well he met. The
sooner start is made with new structures the
better.

PARKER AND FTELDf

The hope that springs eternal in the Demo-
cratic breast Of nominating a ticket that can
win" as the first consideration, shown I'm
the tenacity with which Mr.. Cleveland, against
his wish, was held up as possible candidate
Then Judge Parker an available man, chiefly
because no one knew what his opinions were
on the issues of the day and because he hailed
from New-York, came to occupy first place.
Possibly because Mr.. Marshall Field, OF Chi
cago, is a merchant too busy making money 30
care much about politics, and also because he
has the sinews of political warfare-a well
filled barrel-and halls from a State that once
swung its vote TO Cleveland, he is now talked OF
rs a suitable running mate for Judge Parker.
This dream, however, like that some time ago
Of nominating Mr.. Field for President, is likely
10 have a sudden termination once ChicagO's
merchant prince has the opportunity to dispose
OF It. Having vigorously put away the tempta-
ton TO become a candidate for the first place,
Mr.. Field is not likely to give an enthusiastic
welcome 10 the proposition 10 give him the sec
Ond. Thus the Democracy is likely TO be dis
appointed in having the unique combination Of
two candidates neither of whom has opinions
on national issues with which the public is
familiar

SHOOTING IN SPRING.

Much would be gained in the long run were
the game laws of our States TO be so modified
that the shooting of ducks and other wild fowl
would be forbidden in the spring months as
well as in certain other parts of the year. In
several weeks OF the autumn season, when the
birds are on their way southwark, the killing
OF these feathered creatures for the table cam
not reasonably be criticised. Their numbers
will not be diminished by the handlers of the
double-barrels after the frosts have set IN to
such an extent that the flocks will be in danger
Of extinction.
But in the spring. when the birds are on their
Journeys to their nesting places far above the
latitude of New-York, they should be protected.
Spring shooting of game creatures of any Sort
except possibly snipe, is indefensible from every
point of view. The lover Of true sport is also
convinced that in present conditions In the
United States the number Of wild fowl is too
small to permit spring shooting without endan-
gering legitimate sport in brown and mellow
october.

NOBODY TO RJAHFf

4 huge automobile went rushing through
street at considerable speed. At the crossing OF
an avenue, arrOgantly assuming an autocrauc
right Of way It dashed against q crowded street
car. The car was smashed and thrown from
the track Several of the passengers were in
jured, and all were put into imminent peril of
death. The automobile was disabled. The mo
torman OF the automobile went home IN a cab.
The bruised and cut car passengers continued
their journey as best they could There WERE"
concludes the news report Of the incident. mo
arrests"
We should really like to know why not. Wo
are not attempting TO sit I'm Judgment upon tho
case and declare eX Cathedra who was respon-
sible for the collision. The testimony OF Il
policeman who saw 1t is that the mOtorman
of the automobile was at fault Presumption,
both from the particular circumstances OF the
incident and from the general conduct Of mo-
tormen IS that such was the case. The motor
man is said TO have claimed the right of way.
That is a habit automobile drivers have, in
almost all places and circumstances. But tho
practice in tnis city is for vehicles going north
and south on the avenues TO have the right Of
way over those cross streets, But let all
that pass. 1t is a minor question of detail.
The major point is this. that in n civilized
community 1t should be possible for such n
thing 10 happen without somebody's being held
responsible for it and being brought sharply to
book. To say nobody was TO blame is nonsense.
Either the driver of the car or the motorman
of the automobile was guilty of gross careless
ness and violation of the rules of the road
Whichever it was should be punished for It. 1t
is idle to say the responsibility could not be
fixed, seeing that there were numerous wit
nesses OF the occurrence. To say that human
lives are thus to be endangered in the streets
OF New-York without let or hnderance, and that
nothing can be done about il, is to impcach our
civilization.

THE FRENCH SHORE SETTLEMENT.

The objection Of the Observation-Disclosures 10 the
French Shore settlement IS now said TO have
been overcome by a modification Of the Often
sive clause. AS drawn, the treaty provided that
France should relinqush the privileges accorded
10 her on the Newfoundland coast by the
Treaty OF Utrecht. but should retain for her
subjects on a footing OF equality with BRUSH
subjects the right Of fishing in the territorial
waters Of that part OF the coast; this right TO
''be exercised during the usual fishing season,
terminating for all parties on October 20 or
leach year" II was to this latter clause that
the Observation-Disclosures objected. They did not
want their fishing season closed at that date,
but left open the year round, although hitherto
It has been closed, not on October 20, but on
October 10. The new arrangement would give
them five days more. But that was not enough.
They wanted TO be able TO engage in the profit
able winter herring fishery.
Now are told the French government has
agreed TO a change of that clause, so that the
fishing. season will be closed on October 20 TO
only the French, and viii remain always open
10 NewfOundlanders and also TO Americans.
That is satisfactory 10 the island and the
treaty VIII be approved. The convention as
thus agreed upon by the British and French
governments explicitly provides for the COM
plete abrogation of Article XIII Of the Treaty
Of Utrecht so far as It gives France any rights
Of landing upon the Newfoundland coast The
French fisheries on that coast VIII therefore
have 10 be abandoned, and the buildings erected
,,,-re by French fishermen viii have to be re-
moved. Then the Observation-Disclosures viii have
