Camp Breaks


The officers Of the First Ohio regi-
ment a. Vicksburg had their innings
at the target before breaking camp
with the following results: Colonel G..
F. Hake led with score Of ten
straight bull 's-eyes at 500 yeards. Ma
ior Harry Bryan, Of the battalion,
was second with a score of A at 200
yards, 40 at 800 and Al at 500. Major
Ward, at the same ranges, fell s points
behind Major Bryan. Major Becht s
average a. the three ranges was Jog.
Other god individual scores were
made, which will send large number
os the rank and file to Newark, Ohio,
20 compete for the national champion
ship entry at Seagirt. Colonel Hake
expresses himself as greatly pleased
with the resul. shown by the target
pracfce at this encampment, the best
il. lbs experience. The officers were
given trip on the Mississippi River
and up the Yazoo Canal on the steel
hgl transfer steamer Pelican. Super
intendent E. Ford, Of the Alabama &
Vleksburg division Of the Queen &
Crescent railroad was the host Of the
occasion. A special train was run to
tie river bank and on to the craft,
which steamed several miles up and
dodwn the stream. A largely attended
reception at the Hotel Carroll con-
elnded the festivities arranged for the
entertainment of the officers. Amid
almost sitting heat the main body of
the First Ohio National Guard pulled
out from the Yszoo & Mississippi
Valley passenger depot, after just 3
week in the city and vicinity From
an early hour in the morning the pop
ulace began to assemble along the
roads and streets which constituted
the line of march from the camp to
the train in order to catch a last
glimpse of the boys in blue and buff.

THE NORTH MAGNETIC POLE,

Should the report that the Gjoa has been
crushed by Arctic ice be confirmed. there
would be little occasion for surprise. Captain
Amundsen. who succeeded in getting her into
2 convenient place for his work two years ago,
foresaw the possibility that he might not be
eoualIv fortunate when he tried to get her
out The last direct news from him was con-
veyed by a letter dated May %, 1905, and sent
nv an Esoumau to a vessel engaged in the coast
survey service in Hudson Bay. whence it was
forwarded to Quebec and London. In that
communication Captain Amundsen declared that
ha world endeavor to preserve his records OF mag
netic observations, even If he lost his vessel.
Others besides the commander OF the Gj0a
have had misgivings about her emerging from
the Arctic regions. The harbor in which she
sDent the best part of two years is on the
south side of the island known as King William
Land. and in west longitude 80 40. The short
est and easiest route to the open sea is that
by which the ship reached her station-by
Lancaster Sound and Battin Bay. For senti-
mental or other reasons however Captain
Amundsen had determined to attempt the
Northwest Passage and come down through
Bering Strait this autumn The difficulties
which would have beset him had he tried to
carry out the programme are so great and SO
fully understood that IT has been a matter for
regret that he should have cherished any such
DurDoSe Still, the ACCIDENT 10 MS snip can
not be attributed to his unwise choice, for it
Is said to have occurred near BoOthia Felix,
south of the point at which the two routes di-
verge.
Mr.. Henry Lund the Norwegian consul in San
Francisco discredits the rumor from Dundee
basng his skepticism on recent letters to Nam
sen, copies OF which have been forwarded to him.
A comparison of dates. however. shows that they
| contain later information than those recently
received in London. They were all written two
or three weeks before Captain Amundsen's pro-
posed departure from King William Land.
While therefore the original story should not
be accepted without corroboration, 1t is difficult
| to see how it is dsproved by any yet avail
| able.
II the commander and crew of the Gjoa have
escaped and If Captain Amundsen's purpose
| concerning his records has been realized, the
loss of the vessel itself will hardly be la
| mented. She was small and cost little. There

ONE PERIL OF THE SUBWAY.

Blockades In the subway because fuses blow
ont and disable tie motors of train are coming
to be yexatiously frequent Sometimes the in
terruption to traffic is slight, and sometimes 1t Is
serious Nor is the delay which passengers suffer
in reaching their places Of business or their
homes the only feature to be considered. A loss
of from ten minutes to half an hour cannot well
be made I'D, but it does not involve risk to life
or limb. The situation which exists on an over
crowded express station platform does All
available standing room there is occupied dur
ing rush hours in fifteen minutes or less. A
slight surge at such a time might easily push
dozen persons over the edge and under the
wheels Of an approaching train.
At least three or four years must elapse Derore
any relief can come from the opening of new
srbwavs and in the mean time the patronage Of
the present one is steadily growing. The danger
here referred TO must slowly but surely Increase
The Interborough company cannot, perhaps, pre-
vent the blowing out of fuses, but it can and
should concentrate attention on the avoidance Of
fatal consequences Means should be employed
to check the sale of tickets promptly when an
emergency like that Of yesterday arises If this
problem is not met by Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Hedley
they may be driven TO devise the necessary
measures before next spring by tragedy yet
without precedent in this city.

DrsposING OF CITY GARBAGE.

Controller Grouts proposition in regard 70 the
disposal of garbage is good one. The resolution
which ne introduced al the meeting of the Board
Of Estimate on Friday merely calls for an invest-
CATION into the expediency of the city's perform
ing the work itself. Such an inquiry, If insti-
tlted several months ago, would have been time
" because existing contracts for the service In
question are about to expire. New ones for a
period of five years having just been closed, the
Opportunity for immediate reform has been lost
Nevertheless it would be wise to look into the
proposition and secure a report for future ref
erence.
Much can he said in favor of the policy which
Mr. Grout wants to have considered. Altogether
the best method of getting rid of garbage as DIR.
Doty pointed out in The Tribune several months
ago, is to burn It. This is infinitely preferable to
the unsanitary practice which was long in vogue
here of towing 1t out to sea and dumping it
where It will wash back into the lower harbor
or come ashore at Coney Island. Burning is also
better than taking it down to Barren Island in
open scows and creating stencil when its des-
tination is reached. If cremation be undertaken
the city could probably conduct the work more
economically than anybody who secured con-
tract for term of only five years. No bidder can
afford to make an offer which does not enable
him to pay the first cost of his plant The risk
of having the plant left on his hands and being
unable to sell it when his contract expired would
compel him to make an extravagant charge even
If he did not seek TO make handsome profit
The city, on the other hand could the bust

THE BAKERS BRIDGE ACCIDENT.

New-England enjoys no greater immunity from
railway disasters than any other part of the
country The one which occurred within twenty
miles Of Boston on Sunday evening differs from
several which have happened elsewhere in the
last few years only in trifng particulars The
number of passengers who were crushed or
burned to death is smaller than has been re-
ported on some recent occasions but the essen
tial characteristics of the disaster all too IA
miliar Life was sacrificed in q horrible and
seemingly needless manner in consequence of a
rear end collision, the effect being limited as
usual to the train which was oyertaken.
The president of the Boston and Maine sys-
tenn on one division of which the wreck oc-
Cured, has ordered thorough investigation. 1t
is to be hoped that he viii succeed in fixing the
responsibility with certainty. Many hundred
miles of track are operated under Mr.. Tuttles
management. If any lessons about either dis
cipline or equipment are taught by the accident
at Bakers Bridge, there is apparently wide
field in which to apply them.
On general principles the immediate fault
must be attributed to the rear brakeman Of the
train which was destroyed, to the engineer Of
the express or to some employe whose duty it
was to operate a block signal, provided, of
course, that the requisite apparatus existed and
was controlled by hand. The brakeman is no
longer alive and If he was killed while on his
car 1t will be hard to avoid a suspicion that he
was negligent The engineer is said to have
become temporarily insane. and can give no ex-
planation of the disaster. For the present,
therefore the public cannot tell whether to
blame the living the dead; but 1t will hardly
accept any statement which the engineer may
make without corroborative testimony.
