of being shortsighted in planning rapid transit

were considered too vast and expensive by the
Supreme Court. and they We're compelled to

AT the same meeting Mr.. John De Witt war
ner attacked the commission on still othef
grounds. We are inclined TO discipline severely
the reporter who in his account of it INDUCED
in the gross tautology: John lie Witt Warner
made an impassioned appeal OF course he
did. He never does anything else. Simply to
say that he spoke said all the rest With Mr.
Warner an idea and an apoplexy are identical.
He could not conduct q period Of silent prayer
in a Quaker meeting without reading the riot
act If nature had not provided other volcanoes
he would have served as sufficient vent Tor
the earth's internal heat. He sees in the non
elective Rapid Transit Commission an insult TO
democracy as terrible as the exclusion Of an
avOwed anarchist from our borders which oc-
casioned one of his recent eruptons. But if
Mr.. Warner has any memory, and can calm
himself enough TO use it. he will find ample
justification for that outrage on democracy.
Commission after commission had failed to
solve the rapid transit problem. This commits
sion, with its extraordinary tenure. was devised
as a last resort. and was favored by an over
whelming public opinion which forced Governor
Flower to sign the bill creating it. Tammany,
in transit matters, then owned body and
soul by the Manhattan elevated, which simply
played with projects of Improvement, talked of
great schemes to head off others and never
would come TO any terms itself A locally ap
pointed elective commission offered no hope
of progress. This commission. independent of
the Manhattan and of Tammany, which did its
best to wreck the subway project, was the prac-
teal expedient of people who could get rapid
transit in no other way We don't remember
what Mr.. Warner had to say the subject at
the time, but we would be willing to wager that
If he said anything be- as well as most of the
other present critics Of the "despotic and ire
sponsble" commission, favored the Rapid Tran
sit act with the same cOcksureness with which
they denounce it.

Our youngest commander on the day he at

of Japanese captains and about the same as
the average of English ard German captains,
and our Youngest captain had passed the com

and was within sixteen months of the compul-

CAPTAINS He was also nearly four years older
than the average OF the japanese vice and

This remarkable disparity is emphasized by
the efforts now being made In England and Ger

Up to that time the warships had beer

fire under Pei Yu mountain, but the
capture of Metre Hill enabled Genera

that number of them were set on fire
and the rest have suffered irreparable
damage.
The Port Arthur besiegers report of
the bombardment is as follows:
On Saturday, December Sd our naval
guns bombarded the enemys ships.
The Probieda (battleship) was struck
six times; a vessel of the Retvizan,
(battleship) class, was hit eight times
and on the other ships sixteen shells
took effect.
On Monday, the same plan was car
ried out The Pobieda was hit seven
times; the POltaVa (battleshlp), eleven
times and the Retvizan (battleship),
eleven times. At about three o'clock
in the afternoon one Of our shells
struck magazine south of Pei Yu
mountain, causing heavy explosion,
and the conflagration which followed
was not extinguished for two hours.
The same day our heavy guns were
again directed at the enemy's ships
with the following result: Peresviet
(battleship), was struck twice and two
more shells were lodged in the other
ships. A vessel of the Poltava type
was observed to be on fire for about
one hour, sending up great volume
of smoke.
