Can't Get The Money.

There are several hund.ed dol lars in the hands of Deputy Clerk Henderson, belonging to the town, but he is unable to turn it over to the treasurer as Clerk Heilig has given him no order. A message was sent to Heilig last week re- garding the matter, but he has not replied.
 There is apparently no way to secure the monies due the town ex- cept at the convenience of the clerk.

to be as strong as possible throughout. For
this reason Mr.. Murphy is thinking Of sink
ing his personal feelings In the premises
and utilizing the prestige that Mr.. Jerome
as district attorney has established among
the business men and property holders OF
the city. Why not Mr.. Jerome this time as
Tammany's candidat tie?
If this nomination Is offered Mr.. Jerome
can he afford to accept it? Neither he nor
Tammany has changed a particle since the
two Low campaigns. Leader Murphy is still
on deck and supreme In Tammany as
when he put up Mr.. Mcclellan for mayor.
His lieutenauts are now. then, engaged
in their well-known callings. He has no
sort of love for Mr.. Jerome. nor Mr.. Jerome
for him. A nomination would mean simply
that Mr.. Murphy has decided that he needed
Mr.. Jerome in his business and was bidding
for his help. And If Mr.. Jerome should run
as Tammanys candidate he would lend his
aid toward keeping in power an organiza-
ton which he declared was too corrupt to be
intrusted with power on previous occasions
when 1t was seeking power.
The question is a very interesting one in
every way. and will probably lead to some
lively discussion.

hall Of Philadelphia, which is regarded as
the largest and heaviest single building in
the United States. If the work is not sue
cessfully done with extreme care at every
point, there may be collapse of the foun-
dations, causing the enormous mass of
masonry to sink into the earth. A break
of the Simplon tunnel bore would have
meant, OF course, the loss of lives, but the
destruction would have been nothing COM
pared with the possibilities OF Philadel-
of this projected subway under the city

The list of giant enterprises of a similar
character proposed for the near future or
under way in this country makes the Euro

York's supplementary subway work, with
all it's branches. will cost, It is now esti-
mated, not less than $45O. 600 900. or thirty
times the cost of the Simplon bore. The
Pennsylvania project of tunneling the North
river and half way under the city of New
York is included in this estimate, at
total of $50,OO0.000 Some great railroad
improvements in and around Chicago are
now in the first stages. with a probable
final cost of 5000, 600, 600. Here in Washing

That Philippine "Junket.p

Secretary Taft's reply to the ill-natured
comments on the visit that a number of
senators and representatives will make by
invitation this summer to the Philippines
covers the ground and is in every way
sufficient. The money cost to the govern
ment will be small, but if it were ten
times greater the money would be well in
vested. No subject is of more interest to
American legislators than conditions in
the Philippines and what they suggest in
the line of our duty to the islands, and
certainly a personal inspection must yield
the best results. If the entire membership
of the two houses of Congress could find
time to go across and take look around
it would be of advantage to everybody i'll
interest. But Judge Taft's words will not
put an end to the criticism. There are
people who may not be pleased. They are
rooted in their discomfort. Their first criti-
cism was that we knew nothing about the
Filipinos or their country, and therefore
were not competent to direct their affairs.
Now when it is sought to gather and
spread first-hand information a howl goes
up about squandering money on expensive
junkets. Judge Taft as usual, Is on the
right track. and the end will amply justify
the means.

Big Works Here and Abroad.

European engineers are expressing their
extreme qualification at the successful COM
pletion of the great Simplon tunnel, which
has been cut through the Alps at a cost
of $15.000.000 This is regarded as one of
the greatest feats in modern times. But, as
a matter of fact. it is being more than
equaled in this country in several enter
prises. Up In New York subway has Just
been finished which for cost. magnitude and
difficulty is far ahead of the Simplon tunnel
work. In Boston supplementary subway
has been recently dug under the mouth of
the Charles river to East Boston, despite
forbidding conditions, which at one time
threatened to cause the complete collapse
of the project and the destruction of scores
of big buildings. In Philadelphia subway

America, Russia and Japan.

The Novoe Vremya. the leading ST. Peters
burg newspaper, finds comfort in a New
York dispatch to the Russian capital giving
assurance of change of sentiment in the
United States on the subject of the war.
We were misled. it seems. at the outset.
Russia purposes as TO Manchuria had been
msrepresented to us. We things more
clearly now. Our trade with China will be
more in peril If Japan wins than it would
ever have been had Russia's program re-
manned undsturbed The yellow peril is
coming to be appreciated in America at
Russia $ valuation. And forth.
In other quarters this reported change of
sentiment is ascribed to a mere within.
and a dog fight is quoted to explain it.
Japan at the start seemed to be the under
dog, and for that reason received our SYM
patty. Russia being now the under dog has
in turn reached our hearts. We change
with the tide of battle. Show US the under
dog. and we straightway take its side.
1t is much to be doubted if any material
change whatever has taken place in this
country the subject of that struggle I'M
less TO Increase our admira ton for the jap
anese At the start we admired their grit.
and now we admire the capacity with which
they have supported it. If the little deg
has turned the big one so much the better
for the little dog. But we were not moved
by the sentiment that attaches to a dog
fight We were familiar with the story
leading Up to the beginning of hostilities,
and ii was that which inclined us to Japan's
side. She had the right OF the controversy.
and so far as the Manchurian feature of it
was concerned appeared as the champion
of all. Russia's promise as to that Chinese
province was not made to Japan alone but
to all the world. For the rest, Japan had
had enough to arouse her fears for the fu-
ture, and she decided to strike while she
was in a good state of preparedness
The yellow peril is the DOGGY that Russia
will use industrously now in an effort to
have the outside world shape the terms of
settlement with Japan. She wants the
world to believe that Japan is ambitious to
lead the yellow man against the white and
that the preservation of white civilization
demands that the check be promptly
applied.

Roiestvensky's Route.

If Admiral Rojestvensky can manage to
fool Admiral Togo as completely as he has
fooled all long distance observers and STRAIT
egists he may manage to evade the walt
ing japanese warships and reach Vladi-
vostok. During the latter part Of last
week came reports which clearly indicated
that he was 'steaming northeast from Sing
apore. past Saigon and headed for the
Bashee channel at rate which should have
placed him very close to Togo's advance
line Saturday noon.
Today comes positive word that the Rus
slams have put in at Kamranh bay, which
is only about $50 steaming miles from
Saigon on the east coast of Cochin China,
and another dispatch comes that part of
the Russian fleet has appeared at Turan
bay which is about $50 miles further up on
the Cochin China coast. This is an unex-
pected development and completely upsets
all previous calculations as to the probable
place and time of the encounter between
the two forces
Meanwhile, there is virtually no informa-
ton regarding the whereabouts Of Admiral
Togo's fleet. 1t Is believed that he has as
sembied his ships in the vicinity of the
southern end of Formosa, and it is fair
assumption that he has kept informed as
to the course and speed and stopping places
of his adversary. There is in hand a dis
patch from Tokyo which hints at an imme-
date demand by Japan upon France for the
custer of the Russians from the French
waters in which they have been reported
as lying beyond the prescribed twenty-four-
hour limit. The dispatch naively declares
that if France declares that the Russians
are not within the territorial limits the
Japanese will have the right to attack them
where they lie. This, of course, is contin-
gent upon finding them there.
Comparisons between the two fleets have
been lately instituted with the result of
showing that in point of the number and
weight of guns Togo has somewhat the ad-
vantage. He Is outnumbered as to battle
ships and his own vessels of this class are
not of such late construction as the Rus
sian. But he Is stronger in the way OF
cruisers, and is not handicapped by the
presence of a large auxiliary and supply
fleet. After all has been reckoned it seems
to be the judgment of those best qualified
to analyze the case that Togo's chief ad
vantage over Rojestvensky is in point of
the personnel of his crews. Virtually all of
his men have been under fire, and have be-
come seasoned in the operations around
Port Arthur and in the Japan sea.

campaign which resulted in Tammany's
overthrow when Seth Low was elected

denounced Tammany and It's rule In the
