The Bennington's Boilers.

Suspicion Is growing that the boilers or
the Bennington. which exploded the other
day with horribly tragic results. were not
only In poor condition during her last
cruise. but were overworked in what may
have been an effort to hurry the gunboat
back TO the coast. II this is true 1t should
and probably will be developed by the In
vestigation about to be instituted. de-
mand has arisen for such a searching In
quiry that there may be the fullest expo
sition of the cause of the disaster and the
degree OF personal responsibility.
This accident calls attention to the fact.
perhaps forgotten by some. that there is
no loDSoc a distinct class of engineer Off
GERS IN the navy, that class having been
eliminated by the personnel act of 1899. II
is now the theory of the naval establish
ment that all graduates of the Naval
Academy are equally well drilled in steam
engineering and that any officer of the line
is competent te take charge of the engine
room of torpedo beat or a battle ship on
short notice.
The change in this respect was due to an
insistent demand that modern conditions in
naval organization were totally different
from the old days of sailing ships and oc-
casional steam vessels. every man Of war

An Extra Session.

II Is again asserted that Congress is to
be called together In extra session. An
early day in November Is named in the re-
port. Let us hope that the report Is true
II IT Is we should witness a speedy organi-
cation of the House and the transaction OF
some important business before the holiday
recess. There will be no contest over the
speakership, and there need be no delay
about announcing the committees. MT.
Cannon has the list of the House members
now before him. and the assignments might
be arranged before his arrival In Washing
ton. If then everything should be in Work
Ing shape by November 20. good months
time will be at the country's disposal. For
OF course the special session Will shade on
into the regular one.
In some observations on the subject the
New York Tribune says:
''The advantages of the earlier start were
strkingly demonstrated in i903-04 when
Congress was called together In extraord-
mary session on November and was en-
abled to complete its work and adjourn on
April ~. This is the earliest long session
adjournment on record since 1878. From
political point of view 1t is desirable to
avoid sessions running late into the sum-
mer in years when presidential and Con-
gress campaigns are being fought. Public
opinion should be allowed to settle before
legislation is passed on at the polls"
However early or however favorable the
start. we need not promise ourselves an
early adiournment-certainly not an ad-
5ournment in the spring. In the first place
there will be an unusually large amount Of
business for Congress to consider and in
the second place there will probably be
some clever politics attempted. The sltua-
ton will be an ideal one for a blockade. and
while the democrats will not be numerous
they will be well led, and Mr.. Williams
Should be able to put his men in to ad-
vantage here and there.
\ clearer view will be possible after the
Presidents message goes in If he asks
for definite railroad rate legislation and
tariff revision reciprocity lines-and he
Is likely to do so-he will lay the founda-
lions for a strenuous fight in his party. A
fairly dlscerniole combination between the
railroads and the standpatters is on the
horizon. and 1t Is formidable. II II should
writing only a colorless railroad measure,
or in defeating legislation on both subjects.
or in protraCting the session TO a late day
end force the republicans into the congress
sional campaign in an angry and divided
condition, the majority party will be at a
great disadvantage.
We are approaching what the poet calls
parlous times. There is blood on the moon
music in the air, and snakes will be walked
And the sooner the procession starts the
better.

reason for an insistence upon the right TO

there Is little excuse for a determined. pre-
arranged insistence which can have no
other effect, IL the law Is respected. than
the paralysis of the traffic of the entire line.
remedy for such an anomalous situa-
ton must be found. The street car service
OF a populous suburb and long stretch of
city area cannot be left exposed to the dan
ger of occasional or perhaps chronic block
AIDES OF this character. II the Commission
ers feel that they cannot safely raise the
limit of the bridge capacity, the railroad
company must make some special provision
against the stubborn insstence of the
patrons of the line upon their theoretical
rights The solution would seem to lie
easiest in the way of the installation of a
"shuttle-car" service across the bridge.
stopping the city cars at the north end and
the Congress Heights cars at the south end.
This would, OF course. put the passengers
to the Inconvenience of making two trans
fers in the course of one continuous ride
over the line. But that would surely be
better than stubborn blockade of the en-
tire line lasting for hours. Such a shuttle"
service could be frequent enough to ac-
commodate all of the passengers without
undue crowding.
This would cost the railroad some ex-
penditure perhaps but there seems to be
no other way. Nothing be done with
the individual passengers who insist upon
their technical rights. There Is apparently
no way to secure an amendment OF the
maximum order. and the bridge cannot be
rebuilt in the twinkling of an eye Clearly.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Sensible Americans are disposed to laugh
when they read that King Edward of Eng
land has thrown the world of extreme fash
ion-those who live for tailors and dress
makers-into a turmoil by changing the
crease in his trousers, but they will be dis
posed to applaud Queen Alexandra If her
latest example prove the vogue. The vul-
garity of the display of diamonds and other
gewgaws has become outrageous In Eng
land. Therefore the queen is frowning upon
the barbarous display and is setting the ex-
ample and the fashion by wearing studious-
~ simple ornaments, such as little brooch
or small collar. These modest ornaments
shine conspicuously by contrast with the
coronets. ropes, sunbursts and "tararas.'
Let US hope that the fashion of simplicity
will go so far that the prevailing habit in
America among the millionaires of carry
ing around with them whole jewelry shop
and of being robbed of their wares continu-
ally will fall into deSuetude.

The British Ministry.

Premier Balfour has told the house of
commons that the ministry has no intention
of resfgning. This puts on record the
pFemer's appraisement of the defeat of the
government on a vote in commons a
trick of the opposition and not as a change
OF sentiment on the part of the listed sup
porters of the ministry. Various tales are
being told in support of this view, one of
which follows:
For example, there were about thirty
nnionists at the st. Stephens Club. close
by the parliament buildings, ready to go
10 the house at moments notice, but
the government whips sent word that these
uniOnists need not come over, as the gov
eminent had clear majority and did not
need any more votes. 1t appears, however
that just at the last moment twenty-three
fationalists and radicals emerged suddenly
from the house lavatories, where they had
been in hiding for an hour or more and
with their votes the government majority
was wiped out

The opposition was determined to force IA

arrangement, these thirty men waited for
an absolute command to report for duty.
preferring the quiet club atmosphere to the
connection of a division In commons. If
that is a specimen of the loyalty Of the
unlonist party's adherents the ministry Is
surely in a pitiable state. But what of
