DEATHS HERE AND IN LONDON.
New Yorks Rate rs Per Cent Heavier.
Chiefly Among Children.

The re port of the London Board of Health
for 1904. Just received by the New York
Board OF Health show that the death rate
in New York last year was All per 600
more than in London, The number of
deaths in both cities was nearly the same
New York had II oS5 deaths and London
1904 deaths But the population Of New
York is only 1905, 100 as against $50 900 for
London, thus making it's death rate
1909 per thousand TO New Yorks 20. %.
The great mortality in New York Is largely
among children and is caused principally
by heat and crowded tenements. OF those
who died in New York last year 25. 623 were
under 8 years OF age and Of those 1900 were
under one year. Improper food is largely
the cause OF tho death OF these latter,
New York also has more deaths from
accidents than London. Last year there
were 5,l95 deaths from accidents in New
York. OF these about 900 were due to
the Slocum disaster In 1908 there were
1893. which is about the normal rate.
The New York Board of Health IL not
satisiied that the local death rate has been
determined accurately. II has asked for
money to make a complete census TO enable
IL to determine the death rate and preva-
lenoe Of different diseases.

Unsafe Public buildings.

The collapse Of Il church in Brooklyn
on Monday evening, causing the loss OF
several lives and injury to many people,
should direct public and official atten-
ton TO the dangerous conditions under
which many public gatherings, religious,
social or political. are held in all the Dor
oughs OF the city.
Recently much has been done to make
the theatres safer Comparatively little
has been attempted in the way of i'm
proving the structures in which lodge
rooms. meeting halls and similar assem-
bly, places are situated
Among the many buildings devoted
almost entirely to purposes OF public
amusement other than theatres there
are not q few where thousands of per-
sons are crowded every evening during
the winter which are i'll equipped with
fire escapes, fire eKtinguishing apparatus
and means FOR averting panlcs. The
character of the gatherings in these halls
is such IA TO call for the most careful
guardianship. Women and young chill
dren attend them in large numbers The
special decorations arranged for each
event are of the himsiest kind, highly
inhammabe, and liable to be ignited at
any moment by the matches cigars or
cigarettes used by the smokers present,
upon whom practically no restraint is
placed. No limit Is enforced as to the
number Of persons who may be admitted
to most OF these gatherings and the
constant vibration Of the floors and side
walls caused by the dancing which is
usually feature of tho entertainments
puts a strain on the structures not easy
TO calculate.
The negro church in Brooklyn in which
the supports were unable to bear the
weight of an unusually large congre-
CATION was by no means the only build
ing used for religious meetings in the
city wherein the margin of safety is
too small. There are some churches OF
faulty construction, and others weakened
by age, in which the collapse of Monday
evening might easily be duplicated if
congregation Of more than ordinary size
assembled.
To close up such churches and other
buildings is impraoticable, if not impos-
sible They should, however, be subject
to careful examination. The number of
persons allowed TO enter them at one time
should be carefully restricted, and rigid
rules for the prevention of fires and
panics should be strictly enforced.
The utmost vigilance on the part Of
the authorities cannot prevent all acct
dent OF this nature, but at least the
regulation Of theatres should not be the
sole care of the public officials

1t was further admitted by Mr. WYND-
HAM that he had specifically authorized
Sir ANTONY TO treat with Lord DUN
RAVEN, and that when the latter S
scheme of devoution was submitted to
him he had approved of it. 1t is well
known that subsequently the Dunraven
scheme was rcpudiated by the Balfour
Government, and that Sir ANTONY MAC
DONNELL was censured for doing what
he had done openly. with the counte-
nance not only Of Chief Secretary WYND-
HAM but also of his official superior the
Lieutenant OF Ireland The only
defence that Mr.. WYNDHAM could make
for his regeneration was that he had
been told that precedent for the scheme
of devolution existed in the Anglo
Indian Government, and that in his own
colossal ignorance of Indian affairs ) he
had mistakenly assumed that the prece-
dent was pertinent He added that
when Sir ANTONY was censured the
Government vas not aware that his
course had been sanctioned by Earl
DUDLEY, the l,ord- Lieutenant,
One can easily understand that many
Of the Ulster Unionists and of the more
uncompromising opponents of Home
Rule in the Government ranks would be
exasperated at the revelation OF the
Cabinets temporary willingness to make
what to them would seem dangerous If
not fatal concessions to the Irish Ma
tionalsts. Ii was obviously in vim
diutive spirit, such az was evinced by
DIsRAELIs followers against Sir ROBERT
PEEL, that on Mr. REDMoND's motion
they refrained from voting at all, or else
marched into the Opposition lobby on
the division which cut down the Minis
terial majority to A. What renders the
incident ominous is the light it throws
on the indifference OF the Ministerial
forces. The support of Mr. CHAMBER
LAIN's adherents, who fervently desire q
dissolution, is obviously untru5tworthy;
that Of the Unionist Free Traders, led by
Lord HUGH CECIL, is equally precarious;
and now it appears that even the most
resolute opponents of Home Rule, who
hitherto have been looked upon as the
mainstay of the Unionist Government,
regard Mr. BALFoUR with suspicion and
are ripe for mutiny
