SAGHALIEN.

The Japanese landing Saghalien, which
may be regarded a practical conquest of that
island, was not unexpected. There had been
rumors of it long before. Nevertheless, it was
one Of the most dramatic incidents of the war.
and ii may materially affect the making Of
peace and the whole future status of that part
Of the world.
Japan has thus for the first time invaded and
conquered Russian territory. Hitherto she has
been fighting Russia the high seas and driv-
ing her out of Corea and China. But Saghalien
was indisputably part of the Russian Empire.
Down TO a century ago China possessed 1t. Then
Japan took the southern part, leaving the rest
a no-mans-land. Half a century ago the famous
Count Nicholas Muravieff, the conqueror of the
Amoor and maker of the Treaty of Aigun, seized
the northern part for Russia, and thirty years
ago Baron Struve secured the southern part Of
| it from Japan In exchange for the Kuries-a
transaction in which Baron Rosen, now Am
bassador to the United States and peace COM
missioner, was concerned. Now Japan forciby
| takes back the island.
| The real value of Saghalien is unknown. It IS
Of vast extent, 670 miles long and 100 miles
wide, but its population is meagre, numbering
not more than $4,000 Of whom nearly half are
Russian convicts and one-third are hairy Amos.
1t is too cold and damp for extensive COLOMBIA
ton. though it has been inhabited by men since
/ the Stone Age. But it contains rich coal and
naphtha deposits, and may possess vast min
eral wealth, Alaska has been found TO do.
The enormous strategic value Of the island is,
however obvious. 1t lies close to the Siberian
coast, blankehng it for six hundred miles and
dominating Nicholaeysk and the mouth of the
AmOOr. With ii and the Kuriles in Japan's pos
session, Russia would be completely shut away
/ from the Pacific, save through sufferance Of
Japan, and the Sea of Japan and the Sea Of
Okhotsk would become Japanese lakes. That is
the chief purport of last weeks conquest

THE RUSSIAN ENJOYS.

The attitude of a not incOnsderable party in
Russia toward the two peace commissioners
who have been appointed to represent that en-
pire In the coming negotiations at washington
must be regarded with surprise and regret 1t
is not Of course for Americans TO take sides in
the matter. Our attitude is one of cordial vel
come TO the ENJOYS of both powers and of benev-
olent neutrality. But it would be pleasanter for
US, and it would certainly be more auspicious
for Russia, if we could feel that the Russian
ENJOYS, like the Japanese, were the well ac-
cepted representatives of that entire empire, in
stead of seeing them subjected to hostile criti-
cisms and denunciatiOns in the very country
they are serving.
1t is not, however, uniting TO say that none
Of these things will affect the esteem with
which these gentlemen are regarded in this
country, or lessen the confidence which is felt
In them as worthy representatives of the best
elements and tendencies in Russian public life.
Baron Rosen is known TO Americans, and all
that is known of him is good, so that he is well
coined for his personal sake well as in his
capacity as Ambassador of a great friendly
power. 1t may not be strange that some too
jealous partisans of his predecessor here have
been inclined to look upon him coldly, for Count
Cassini has been conspicuouSly identified with
the war party, and, indeed, was the chief au-
thor Of that Russian policy in China which led
to the war; while Baron Rosen has always been
for peace, and would have averted the war had
he been permitted to have his own way. Those
considerations do not, however, control Ameri-
cans, who showed all proper hospitality TO
Count Cassini and will show no less to Baron
Rosen.
The bitter attacks OF an important part Of the
Russian press upon Mr.. Muravieff are even less
explcable, though their weight in American
esteem is minimized by the fact that they are
led by that journal, the "Novoe Vremya," which
has lately made itself conspicuous by Its intem-
perate and quite unfounded railings against
this country. Mr.. MuraVieff, too, is well known
to Americans, who have watched with much in
terest his important work as Minister of Justice
and as Russia's foremost representative at The
Hague He Is regarded here with high esteem
and confidence, and because of his work at The
Hague as particularly well chosen to negotiate
a treaty of peace; and If there has ever been a
disposition to critlcise him it has been because
Of his extreme zeal for Russian interests, which
seemed at times not quite consistent with the
| impartiality of an arbitrator. But that, surely,
could not be deemed a disqualification for the
work of peace commissioner.

ELEcrRIcLTY ON LONG ISLAND.

There can be no doubt about the success OF
the experiment which will be begun on the Long
Island road this week. Electricity will be en-
ployed for traction purposes there only a
limited scale at first. because 1t is necessary TO
initiate the motormen in their new work by de-
grees. This, however, is the only novel part of
the venture. The inherent merits Of the system
itself were demonstrated long ago. OF these the
possibility of getting up speed more quickly than
with steam is the most important from the point
Of view of the practical railroad man. Where
the traffic to be handled calls for frequent stops
as ii always does in suburban service-and
where IT is desirable to run trains in rapid sue
cession this advantage has a large pecuniary
value The other great advantage of the
method of transportation which is now TO have
fresh trial, its freedom from smoke and
cinders, will make strong appeal to the pa
irons of the Long Island road. and ought TO
have apprecable influence in building up the
suburban towns and villages to which it min
| listers The improvement will be the more well
come because a good deal Of dirty and vener-
able rolling stock has recently been in use on
most OF It's lines.
One Of the most gratifying features Of the
change which is about TO be made is the adop-
ton OF steel cars We are not quite certain
whether all of the passenger coaches the
Long Island road are TO be incombustibe or
only part Of them If no exceptions are made
/ TO the rule there will be a distinct advance on
the policy of the Interborough company which
uses both steel and wooden cars. II would be
singular mark of progress If the Long Island
company, whose tracks all on the surface
should take greater precautions TO avert loss Of
! life through fire wreck than are observed
underground.
For the revolution which is now about 10 be
effected in traction methods the patrons OF the
Long Island road are greatly indebted TO the

be noticed not because there are not plenty OF
New-York men ready to introduce or work for
them. "Hayseed legislation" is a product OF
city ingenuity in nine cases out of ten and Is
supported secretly, if not openly, by the loud
est champions of home rule. Now and then
1t is possible that city bill may be forced
through despite honest and united opposition
from the New-York City delegation. Much
more rarely such a bill might pass regardless
of a strong local adverse sentiment, though
such a thing has not happened for several
years. But the vast majority of the city bills
which pass, however named and pushed, get
through with the aid of the city's representa-
tives And the Citizens Union shows that most
of them are not only of city origin, but are
actually introduced by city men.
The rural legislators are not all saints but
they do little harm TO the city which the city
does not invite.

KATERRORKS TAXATION.

The judicial decision requiring this city to pay
taxes the full assessed value of its water
works in Westchester County Is doubtless I'M
welcome TO the local municipal authorities. 1t
is equally welcome to the rural communities
affected. 1t is presumably sound In law, and
it will probably commend itself to most people
on the ground Of equity.
This city, for its own profit, took the land of
those rural towns. 1t paid for it, of course. or
will do so in time, at a fair rate Then the
city proceeded TO spend large sums OF money
in improvements, making ii vastly more valu-
able TO itself. Indeed the chief value of the
land to the city arises from those improve
ments The question then arose whether the
property should be taxed on it's unimproved or
its improved value. On the side it
argued that upon the former basis the towns
would be getting from it as large a revenue as
before, and so would not be losers. On the
other side it was argued that if the property
had been acquired by private individuals and
improved by them for their own profit or
pleasure it would unquestiOnably be taxed upon
its improved valuation. Moreover, the city's ac-
QUESTION and improvement OF it had actually
decreased the value and the taxable value, Of
the surrounding land by depriving it of water.
There were also other arguments advanced in
both law and equity. with the result that de-
cisiOn was finally given in accordance with the
contention of the towns.
This result will serve as a reminder to the
city of what 1t must expect elsewhere when it
invades other rural communities for the needed
extension Of its water system. 1t must reckon
not only the cost of acquiring land and building
aqueducts and DAMS but also the permanent
charge of taxation upon the value of the i'm
provements The result will reassure rural
communities that they will not be despoiled by
the city, but that they will actually profit from
its invasion of their territory through In
crease of revenue from taxation. Perhaps that
consideration will lessen the opposition of some
OF the rural counties to the extension of the
city's water system
