Attorneys Will Appeal.

: +. -
Either Judge Francis.J. Wing or. Mr..
#DaWley will go to Cincinnati to make ar
rangements for a review of the case by
the United States circuit court of APP
peals. The first step taken by the de-
Tense will be to ask fora stay of sentence
until the appeal is tried out. There was
an understanding with United States
Marshal Chandler, United States Attor-
ney Sullivan and the court to the effect
that there would be no attempt to exc
cute the sentence untilthe defense had an
opportunity'to carry the case to the high
er court and there obtain a suspension
of the sentence. Mrs. Chadwick WILDE
defended to the last court.
How She Received Sentence.
Mrs. Chadwick was not particularly
affected by the action of the court Mon
day, as seemingly she had resigned her
self to any action that might be taken.
When she was told that the motion for
"a new trial had been refused she merely
nodded her head as if she already knew.
The court asked her IL she had anything
to say why sentence should not be pro-
nounced. Mrs. Chadwick said there was
nothing she cared to say herself. Her
attorneys made no appeal to the court
and the sentence was Immediately i'm.
posed. By good behavior Mrs. Chadwick
can reduce her time to imprisonment to
eight years and four months.
Her Crime
Mrs. Chadwick was indicted by the
United States grand jury, at special
session ordered by Judge Francis j.
Wing, who has, since his retirement
from the federal bench, become her as
sociate counsel, on seven separate
charges, each relating to her connection
with the failure of the Citizens nation
al bank of Oberlin. of which the late G.
T. BeckWith was president and Al. B.
Spear cashier. Both the president and
cashier were Jointly indicted with the
woman who borrowed thousands OF dol
lars of the banks money She was con
victed under the Indictment in which
she was charged with conspiracy con
spiracy with BeckWith and Spear to Ger
tify her checks when she had no money
in the bank. This is a transaction pro-
hibited by the government for the pro-
lection of the depositors and stockhold-

WHAT A CONFESSION!

Abiding with reasonable cheerfulness TO the
enormous increase in the number of passengers
carried by the New-York City Railway Company
In consequence of the strike on the subway ana
elevated roads Mr. Oren Root, jr., general man.
ager said on Tuesday night: Reports to the
contrary notwithstanding, we are not operat-
"ing to-day single extra car This is because
1--WE always run at maximum capacity, and
extra cars would retard rather than facilitate
"the service" We are not disposed to doubt MI
Roots assertion that his company is running
no extra cars for observation at various points
during the middle hours of the day SHOWS the
cars to be from three to six. blocks apart as
they usually are, excepting in the rush hours
It is, however, astonishing that a man or MI
Roots intelligence and ability should gratul-
tously declare that not single extra ear could be
run without retarding the service Does he mean
that the extra cars which are always run in the
rush hours retard the service and do more harm
than good? If that is not what he means, what
credit can he possibly hope to gain by refusing
TO run extra cars at other hours when, owing TO
the strike, tens of thousands of persons are
forced to ride in great discomfort or to walk?
If Mr. Root has been misquoted, we shall be
glad to set him right. But, if he really made the
TO make we must say that no fairly intelligent
child of ten years could fail TO discern the ludi-
crous fallacy gravely put forth by the general
manager OF the New-York City Railway Com

AN ECONOMICAL CONGRESS.

one feature of the work done by Congress
at the last session deserves especial notice ON
reasssnlbling last December the leaders in the
TWO nouses found themselves confronted with
what seemed an almost hopeless task That
TASK was to keep the appropriations for 1905
o5 within the governments prospective in
come In spite of the best intentions and the
most painful exercise Of economy. Congress had
failed al the long session to hold the expendi-
lures for l004-'05 within the revenues. A deficit
Of at least $20.000O0O was indicated for the
year ending June 80, 1905 and the Republican
leaders had 10 face the alternative of cutting
stu deeper into the estimates or saddiing the
Treasury with an even larger deficit for 1905
10 The situation was made more gloomy by
the fact that the passage of a River and Har-
Dor bill-omitted last year-could be no longer
postponed, and that pressure for the passage
OF a Public Buildings bill was reaching an
almost mutinous aggressiyeness. Few of the
responsible managers were sanguine enough to
believe three months ago that a deficit could
De avoided But, thanks 10 policy of inces-
SAINT wafchfulness and scrupulous economy,
what seemed impossible was finally accom-
piished. and the session closed with the assur-
ance That no drafts wouid be made on the
treasury next year which could not safely be
nonored out Of the current revenues
Al conpSance WITH custom, brief comparisons
OF expenditure and income were made LAST
Saturday by the chairmen of the Senate and
House Appropriations committees. Both speak
ers reached the same conclusion. although
adopting somewhat different lines of argument.
In the Senate Mr.. Allison estimated the total
OF me permanent and annual appropriations at
seiseJo.ooo. The total revenues he nut at
slZooooooo. leaving an apparent deficit of $92.-
oto.oo0. But Of this S92,000,O00 a 100000 600
appropriation for the redemption of national
bank notes is merely nominal this fund being
supplied from deposits made by the national
pahks and not constituting a charge ON tha
revenues He showed also that a second de-
nucfion of S5T0oo00o set aside for sinking
iuhd purposes, should also be made: for no
money need be turned next year into that fund
which already far exceeds legal requirements
hubtracting these two items a deficit Of 81 ooo
oyo is indicated. But S3,25o0OO of misceI
ianeous appropriations, made immedfataiv
available. have been charged against the reva
nues Tor lS0A'05, and other minor Deductions
not yet definitely tabulated, will wine out tbs
deficit and leave "a surplus Of a few millions

THE PRESIDENT ON THE TREATY.

Tho President makes an admirape al sot
for rbe nending treaty with Santo Doiiiins
its general principles that treaty snouiu 80
need no especial support, but shouiu oe 10
eio;o,4 eor,n,ondation There are, however
SOME particular aspects of the case MiiOn :. -
we'll to emphasize and which the fresi'ien' 80 -
bring out with convincing ehect. 1t Is wen ~
have it repeated again and again llh' 'iio
was made at the request of Santo Domingo ana
tborefora is in no respect piece OF American
oooression II is well to be reminded OF lhe
hona6ts that will accrue TO the United states
frono tho more secure establishment or order
and prosperity in that island. 1t is well TO con-
slider how sorely Santo Domingo needs our aiu'
ond how, oracious and worthy thing it will be
for tho United States TO give such ald 10 It's
neighbor.
There is still another point. dWelt upon py tue
President which will not be devoid of a particu-
larlv practical force, making its appeal directly
TO the pecuniary interests of this country. 1t is
well known that the United States is one Of
Santo Domngo's largest creditors, though 9TH
ers. among European states, are perhaps more
pressing. If this treaty goes into force, all
creditors will be treated alike. American
creditors will be paid as promptly as possible
and European creditors will be paid at the same
time That arrangement will be, it should
be- satisfactory to all. But suppose the treaty
were not made. Then the case might, and prob
ably would, follow the course of Venezuela. ELL
ropean powers would press, with force, for the
settlement of their claims. This country would
logically and consistently have to let them do
so. provided they did not permanently seize ter
ritory. Then those impatient creditors would be,
as in the case of Venezuela. preferred creditors.
whose claims honest or fictitious, would have
to be settled in full before any of our claims
could begin to be settled.
That point is well worth considering. It is not
to secure undue advantages over other nations
that the President proposes to enter into this
arrangement. 1t is rather to prevent other ma
tons from securing a decided advantage over
us. That is not the highest conceivable consid-
GRAFTON. But it is an entirely legitimate and
worthy one which practical, business nation is
not only entitled TO, but ought to, take into &C.
count.

THE WAR.

The question at Moukden at this writing Is
whether kuropatkin is merely retreatng or is
suffering rout. That he is retreating seems GER
tain. That he can make good an orderly retreat,
as he did last year from Liao-Yang, is prob
lematic. For one thing, his own army is weaker
and the Japanese army is stronger, proportion
ately than in that former campaign He just
escaped then, and no more. With the odds so
much more against him, 1t may well be doubted
whether he can escape now. Again, the Japan
have executed far more comprehensive
movements for preventing his retreat. At Lao
Yang their attacks were frontal and on the
TANKS. AT Moukden they have been all around,
directly in the rear as well squarely in front.
1t is not known how strong force they have
sent around to the Russian rear. but even a small
force might seriously impede the lines of re-
treat
Another thing to be observed is that now the
Russians have no such near and well prepared
base to FAN back upon as they had after the bat
tie at Liao-Yang Then it was only forty-nile
dash to Moukden, a great fortified city. with
ample stores, which had long been prepared for
Just such use, and which afforded a far better
headquarters than Liao-Yang. 1t had. indeed
been kuropatkin's plan from the outset to mako
Moukden his headquarters But what place Is
there 10 fall back TO from Moukden? Retreat
Ing now the same distance they did from LAO
Yang, the Russians would reach Telling. But
that L IA place 1t which To nnke stand. II

TIE ZIEGLER EXPEDITION

Evelyn b. Baldwin, who went to Franz Josef
Land in 1901 under the auspices of Mr. Ziepler
with the intention of trying to reach the pole
the following year, has just received q doom
ment which is more significant for the Journey
IL mas made than for the message which il
conveys. This is a short bulletin, dispatched
by the explorer himself in June 1902. and ad-
dressed to whichever American consulate
Should be nearest to the point where the buoy
containing the communica ton was picked nm
MI Baldwin made a favorable report on his
nrst years work, which was of a preliminary
character, though declaring that he was in
need OF more coal. Later in 1902 he came back
10 CIVILIZATION and resigned command of the
Ziegler expedition, and his hacker in the enter
prise appointed Antony Fiala his successor.
The most interesting feature Of the story is
that the buoy in which Mr.. Baldwin's report
was Enclosed was eventually found by a fisher
man In Tanafjord Bay, on the northern coast
of Norway. In a bee line the point where IT
was discovered was fully six hundred nautical
miles Tor 10 degrees) from that at which it was
launched; and it is not unlikely that IRREGULAR
ties in the route traversed might have added
greatly to the length Of the voyage. At the
outset the receptacle in which the message
was found was sustained in the air by a small
balloon, but sooner or later it reached sea level
and was borne by the water to its destination
The general direction In which the buoy tray-
elled was a little west Of south Indications
are thus afforded of the trend OF the prevailing
winds during the weeks or months required
for the trip. These evidently came from a very
different quarter from those on which poor
Andree relied. ten or twelve years ago. to carry
him from Spitzbergen to the Pole. Indeed, they
emphasize afresh the long apparent folly of the
Swedish aeronaut's plan.
One Of the facts mentioned in Mr. BaIdwin's
three-year-old bulletin is still worthy OF note
At the time when the message was dispatched
his ship, the America was In open water to the
northward of one Of the islands In the southern
part of the archipelago of Franz Josef Land

is a small mountain town. 1t has no foruhca-
tions, no stores, comparable with those at Mouk-
den or even with those at Liao-Yang III the re-
treat is carried further, what other place IS
there beyond that? None suitable for Stopping
Mace until Hardin is reached. But is 1t conceiV-
able that even Kuropatkin could hold deteated
army together and defend it during hight Oh
more than three hundred miles!
This last is the consideration which makes re-
treat seem so nearly synonymous with rout and
ruin We may be sure that Kuropatk1n Will DO
his best as he has done ever since ne TOOK
command of the army, and his best is about as
good as that of any general could be in such
situation But there is limit beyond which no
human genius can go. Napoleon found that
limit at Moscow 1t may be that huropatkln
will find it at Moukden.

Ice. 1t thus appears that in that part OF the
world. as we'll as elsewhere, there Is dlHer-
ence in seasons. Encouragement is lent there
by to the hope that better conditions viii exist
next summer, when Mr. Ziegler's relief snip
renews its endeavor to communicate with ana
rescue his expedition. For reasons which IL
is now unnecessary to present, 1t will be wise
not to expect any particularly brilliant per-

there is at least prospect that they VIII an
come home alive. They should have had COM
Portable quarters, either on ship or shore; and
if they supplemented with fish and game the
rations which they carried from Europe they
have doubtless escaped starvation. Access to

which will be brought back justify no special
