BROOKLYN WORM PLAGUE SPREADS,

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The pest OF tree worms IN BROOKLYN told In
The Tribune last week. is spreading From a com
parativeiy small space northeast OF Prospect Park
the worms have worked their devastating course
north and west beyond Futon-st. They are even
devouring the leaves OF Clinton-ave. trees
Although the spread OF worms has been heralded
through the very little precaution has been
taken by residents OF Brooklyn to check their ad-
vance. AS was noted in The Tribune In several
places tarred cotton and hypaper have been used 10
keep the caterpars out OF the trees But this pre-
caution has been confined almost entirely to the
district first attacked. Residents along the newly
attacked thoroughfares, seemingly have not awak-
ened To the danger OF their trees
Another method OF lighting the pest has been
used TO good effect by many-that OF soaking
tobacco stems and sprinkng the solution on the
tree limbs The result Is usually shower OF dead
worms. Tobacconlsts are usually anxious 10 be rid
OF their stripped stems. and either give them
away or sell them for small
AN alarming feature OF the pest in BROOKLYN ia
the lethargy with which property owners seem pos
sessed In their attitude toward the danger. Those
lose the shade from the trees there. The worms
have attacked the outskirts OF the grove and ars
working inward.
The horse chestnut trees still seem TO be especiaI
objects of attack. There Is scarcely tree OF this
Kind In the infested district that Is not utterly
stripped OF its leaves. The are rapidly bld-

GOING BACK TO HAWAII.
The President Declines to accept
Carter's Resignation.
IBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUNz.l

Oyster Bay. July 24-Governor George R.
Carter of Hawaii came to Oyster Bay this az
ternoon for the purpose Of rendering his resig-
nation TO President Roosevelt. After having
heart to heart talk and luncheon with the Presi-
dent, the Governor reconsidered his determina-
tion and decided to go back for another trial al
controlling mixed population and crowd OF
warning politicians Before returning to Ha-
waH he Will spend a few weeks n this country
to rest for his labors OF the winter.
When Governor Carter arrived on the noon
train he was rather non-comrittal as 70 the
purpose of his visit He did not 70 say
whether he had decided to resign or not. but
thought that possibly he could say more after
his interview with the President There was
a look of stern resolution in the Governors
eye. and he seated himself IN the carriage thar
to carry him to Sycamore Hill with Al air
OF determination that was not TO be mistaken.
When he returned to take the 4:2O D. n. train
for New-York. his frowns had changed TO
smiles. and he spoke in a care FREQ manner
pleasing TO hear.
II advised the President 70 accept my rssis-
nation" he said. but he did not take my ad-
vice Then I took his: I've decided TO go back
and try 1t again for while. at least"

THE IMPERIAL MEETING.

A meeting between two great sovereigns Is
always an interesting and often an important
| incident In the present case the former quail
jtv is enha need and the latter more strongly sug-
gested by the circumstances Of foreign war and
domestic revolution in which one Of the en-
perors is involved, and by the secrecy Of the
meeting. The fact that It is a personal rather
than a governmental meeting, the Ministries of
the two powers being practically unrepresented,
is 10 be noted, but is not necessarily Of sig
nifcance Sovereigns can make compacts with
out the aid Of secretaries and they can talk
about the weather and no more with host Of
diplomats about them.
That the meeting between Nicholas II and
William II causes some feeling approaching ap-
prehension in Europe is not surprising Rela-
tions among European powers are delicate and
sensitive to q degree scarcely appreciated In
this country. France may, not unnaturally. fear
Germany will detach Russia from the French
in favor Of a German alliance although it is
already pretty well known that a secret com
pact has long existed between Germany and
Russia that France is beginning to grow weary
of the one sided and waning Russian alliance
and that a Franco-Japanese alliance in the near
future is not beyond bounds Of expectation. Nor
is It altogether strange that some persons In
Great Britain should fear German influences
against peace In the Far East.
Slcn sentiments VIII sCdTceIy, however, De
shared in America. and it may be that the more
remote and disinterested American view will be
the more correct one Here, we are inclined to
think the German Emperor will be credited
with readiness TO enhance the prestige of
Germany, not as the arbiter but as the guide
philosopher and friend OF the other Continental
powers. He has already done so in the cases
of Morocco and Scandinavia, but not with bellig-
erent results. He may also be suspected of
desire TO impress upon Russia the reflection that
"Codlin's the friend, not Short" We have not
heard Of many powers that would not do so
when opportunity offered
But there surely can be no reason to believe
that peacemaking, either in the Far East or i'm
European Russia. will be endangered by this
meeting. No European monarch is more de-
voted TO peace than William III. He knows II
is to Germany's very practical interest to have
peace reestablished and maintained. Peace in
the Far East will enlarge German trade oppor-
tunlties in that quarter OF the world. Peace I'm
Russia will re-establish order along the German
frontier, remove the bad example which tTlrbu-
lent Russians are setting TO the discontepted
and disaffected elements in Germany itself and
permit expansion of German trade with Russia

yellow JACK" ON THE GULF.

Yellow fever having without doubt obtained a
| foOthold in New-Oreans the authorities of that
city are, trying to keep the trouble within the
| narrowest possible limits. Press dispatches an
nounce that persons who exhibit symptoms of
the disease are being isolated. Well, isolation"
would be ineffective unless 1t had one particu-
lar accompaniment. If victims are so shielded
with netting that mosquitoes cannot become in
fected by biting them actual removal to hos
pital will not be requisite. On the other hand,
transfer to a special institution would do little
good unless the expedent just mentioned were
also adopted New cases are being discovered
from day to day, and. though the number is
small, it does not look as if the policy Of re-
striction had been enforced as vigorously as it
should have been.
On the supposition that the infection was
brought TO the city by Italians from Central
American ports where the disease already pre-
walls, shipping from those places is now being
subjected to a rather rigid quarantine at the
mouth of the Mississippi, which is a hundred
miles below New-Orleans. This is also a wise
step but it is strange that it was not taken
sooner. United States officials are said to have
reported nearly two months ago to the health
board Of the Crescent City that there were
cases of fever in Belize and Port Cortez Pre-
vention is infinitely better than cure, and II all
vessels from those ports had been obliged to
wait few days before coming TO their WnarVeS
w-Orleans would probably have secured alb
solute immunity. The merchandise brought
from Central America at this season consists
mainly of fruit which is perishable and which
ought TO be delivered promptly. After fumi-
CATION that would not injure it the cargo could
be transferred 70 lighters and taken to the city
with little delay. Perhaps the ships, If thor
oughly disnfected, might also be released. The
longest detention seems TO be requisite in the
that they may have been bitten just before en-
barking or subsequently shipboard by an
insect that taken on with freight The
period of incubation has now been definitely
fixed at five days, and if a person concerning
whom there is a suspicion does not betray signs
of the disease at the end of that interval Of
time no further anxiety need be entertained.
The maintenance of a quarantine against
New Orleans by other communities in conse
quence of the recent outbreak seems TO be fully
justified. 1t causes great Inconvenience, espe-
cally to persons who live In other States than
Louisiana but are accustomed to go daily TO
New-Orleans on business Forbidding the re-
turn of these people to their homes or, as an
alternative, compelling them TO go into rural
detention camps would he a serious hardship
If. as has been proposed their places of resi-
dence could be temporarily committed to the
control of Louisiana. no harm might follow; but
the attitude adopted by the authorities of Texas.
Mississippi and Alabama is perfectly sensible
Even the boycott put New-Orleans by Ha-
vana. though it has its amusing aspects. is
justifable

MR.. BALFOUP'S DECISION.

Mr. Balfours decision neither 10 resign nor
to dissolve Parliament. but to remain in office
will be generally regarded as in accord with
precedent and with common sense 1t is true
that his government was defeated in a division
last week. That was effected. however, by
clever device and what we might call
snap" vote. The government was not and is
not really in a minority OF the House. 1t has
a majority of nearly 100 1t has not been
the custom hitherto, and would not comport
with sound sense or with proper regard for
public duty, fer a Ministry to resign on SO
trifing provoc8 ton. To do would be com
parable with mans confessing bankruptcy
just because he was Unexpectedly asked TO pay
more than he had in his pocket at the moment
in ready cash, while he had ten times the
amount on deposit in the bank
Beginning with a majority of 1874 five years
ago. the Ministry now has a majority of nearly
100 which, if it keeps on diminishing, as Par
liamentary majorities usually do. will easily
hold out at q handsome figure until the end OF
the constitutional term of seven years, if Mr..
Balfour elects 10 hold office so long At pres
ent 1t seems probable that he will postpone
dissolution for at least another year That
would be in harmony with precedent. Two
Victorian Parliaments. the sixth and the ninth.
endured for more than six years each. the for
mer being Lord Palmerstons and the latter
DisraelPs Two the second and twelfth. last
ed nearly six years each. and three, the eighth,
tenth and fourteenth nearly five years. Backed
by SC strong a majority, and in the absence
of any important demand for change of ad-
ministration, the Balfour Ministry will not be
guilty of straining point or Of tagging super
fuous' II il retains it's place for another year
and thus fills out six of its allotted seven.
Mr. Balfour's decision will probably be re-
ceived with relief and with qualification by the
British electorate. However strongly it may
be opposed by its party antagonists in domes-
tic policies. there is pretty general confidence
in the governments management of foreign
affairs and at the present time foreign inter
ests are decidedly paramount change of
policy at the moment when such profound is
sues Of external policy are in the balance
would be regarded as too much like what Lin
coin called swapping horses while crossing a
stream" In this case, TOO, il would be
changing a tried and satisfactory horse for
an unknown one for with all the abundance
OF admirable craftsmanship in the opposition.
In the present somewhat unOrganiZed condl-
ton of that party there is no assurance and
scarcely the slightest hint Of who the new For
eign Minister would be or what his policy would
be- In these circumstances. far ndica-
tons appear at this distance there is little
desire in the United Kingdom for a general
election at this time, but, on the contrary, a
widespread feeling that its postponement for
another year would he prudent.

PHILADELPHIA ELECTION FRAUDs

Philadelphia elections have been for many
years notoriously fraudulent. Local conditions
have favored the manipulation Of voting lists
and the stufing Of ballot boxes An obsolete
system Of registration. an enormous disparity
IN the voting strength Of the two parties and
chronic collusion between the Democratic and
Republican workers made frauds at the polls
safe and easy. The city and State were so
overwhelmingly Republican that those frauds
never nullifed the popular will; and Philadel-
pbia tolerated them, just as IL tolerated the
other evils OF ring government because an ef-
fort at correction seemed hardly worth while"
Finally machine arrogance drove the people 70
rebellion. and, now that the whole municjpaI
system Is being purged, public sentiment is de-
manding-and secuT1ng-a return TO honest cleo
ton methods
The police have just completed hurried can
vass Of the assessors lists, which In Philadel-
phia take the place of our registration books
as a roster Of qualified voters The assessment
for December. 1904. showed a voting population
Of 5s2,239 That this roster was grossly padded
was self-eyident. Philadelphia has to-day a
population Of perhaps 100000 The ratio of
voting strength 10 population is normally 1 10
.. In this city last year the ratio was less
than ] 10 >; but the voters and alleged voters
in Philadelphia were found 10 number last De
cember 3S2.239. At the ] 10 3 ratio this would
give the city a population of more than 1900
1e0 The police now announce that 3l.sfI of
the names carried the voting lists were ic-
titicus THIS is believed by the new Director
OF Public Safety 70 be an undercount. and sec
ond revision has been ordered for certain parts
of The city. In the end probably 10000 names
viii be found 10 be bogus With 332 900 voters
Philadelphia would still have a roster dispro-
portionate 10 its population There is good rea-
son TO think, therefore. that in some recent
elections from $4,000 to GO.OO0 fraudulent votes
were cast and counted.
his Is an astonishing and bumilating record:
but the conditions which produced il are now
happily passing and once passed will never re-
turn- We are outgrowing the spirit in which
our earlier political battles We're conducted that
