RCARREN AND MURPHY.

The Brooklyn Democratic leader, State Sena-
tor McCarren, has been so constantly a sup
porter of the objectionable schemes of his party
in the legislature that he has acquired a reputa-
ton which no one envies. When man of his
own political household tried to get the Demo-
cratic General Committee on Tuesday evening
to pass a resolution in condemnation of Demo-
cratic votes against reduction in the price of
gas in this city, Mr.. McCarren gave the signal
and the submissive chairman declared the mo-
ton lost
The head of Tammany Hall this year IS no
friend Of the slender Senator. Yet it is probable
that Murphy is as we'll pleased as McCarren
over the victory of the gas combination on the
final vote. The relations existing between per-
sons who are close TO the Tammany leader and
the fact that his brother holds an extremely
profitable gas company contract cannot be light
~ dismissed. 1t was easy enough for Murphy TO
arrange matters that the measure for cbeon
gas in every part of New-York should be barely
defeated 1t would have been hard for him n
make more foolish effort TO blind the publIc
to the true inwardness of that transaction.

THE COMING OCEAN YACHT RACE.

lovers of marine sport are eagerly anticpat-
ing the contest for the Emperors Cup, which
will begin off Sandy Hook next Tuesday.
Yacht races across the Atlantic occur less fire.
uuently than those lasting only rev hours.
A course which is three thousand miles IN
length offers a far greater variety or condi-
tons than that which has been the scene of
the attempts to capture the Americas Cup. On
der the most favorable circumstances the win
ner can scarcely reach the Lizard in less than
a fortnight and in that interval of time many
changes in the prospect will certainly be wit
messed The large number Of craft which will
participate heightens the interest, for an al
most endless multiplication Of minor struggles
is thus insured.
With the exception of Lord Brassey's Sun
BEAM built in 1874, all of the eleven compet-
tors are of recent construction. Six are prod
ucts of American skill and five came from Brit
ish yards In size remarkable diversity will
be observed in these boats. They range in
length upon the water line from S61a feet (the
FIeur de Lys) to 240 feet (the Earl Of Craw-
ford's VaIhalla). There are no time allow
ances, and the essential rivalres, therefore, will
be between models and the men who navigate
the beautiful racers.
The great majority Of the competing yachts
are schooners, at least two Of them being three
maSted- Two boats the huge Valhalla and the
Apache, are square rugged, and the Sunbeam
represents that happy compromise between the
two types, the barkentine Finally, the little
Ailsa is a yawl For all around sailing, and
especially for beating, the fore-and-aft rig has
much to commend it Whether 1t will possess
any special advantage in the coming race re
mains to be seen. Everything depends on the
direction Of the wind This is from the west
or southwest on the North Atlantic during the
greater part Of the year. If the rule holds
good during the next two three weeks, the
schooners and the yawl are hardly likely to dis
play any superiority over the square rugged
yachts. Indeed, as a class, they may not do so
We'll Were the race to be sailed to the west
ward instead of the eastward, the fore-and-aft
rig might give a fresh demonstration of its we'll
known virtues. In any case, there is every
promise of an exciting contest with enough
elements Of uncertainty to make confident pre-
dlction Of the result unwise

Mr.. Balfour seems to take 70 military grand
strategy as readily as he takes to metaphysics.

Every year or two The Tribune receives a
complaint-generally from the same person and
to the same effect as on previous occasions
about it's weather forecast. Dissatisfaction is
expressed because we do not always mention
the temperature to be expected. Well, there is
an excellent reason for this reticence. The
Tribune simply follows the example Of the
washington bureau. When the latter antIcl-
pates warmer or colder weather It says So but
It remains silent when the temperature promises
to remain stationary. The government assumes
and so do we-that a person of average COM
mon sense will interpret the absence Of a specific
prediction meaning mo change" The infre-
quency with which fault is found with the prac-
tice is good testimony to its wisdom.

Up to the year 1904 wood alcohol in Russia was
not deodorized and. retaining the abomnable smell
and taste which it brought from the distling watts
could not be used for drinking. Even the ignorant
peasants. who will drink the vilest and strongest
forms of spirits, would not touch it. But last year
the deodoriZed alcohol introduced into that
country and in consequence of its cheapness began
under various DISCUSSES TO DO used as a beverage
While the Russian troops were being mobilized at
Dorpat last summer much drinking took place
among them and the beverage Of which they par
took according TO THE Journal OF the American

the British Museum. The cases which brought
over the cast of the diplodocus are going back

British Museum.
Among those present were the Archbishop of
