miners asked. for higher wages. at that
time, but instead Of complying with their
request Martin discharged them and put
non-union men to work at a lower scale

reason he was told to leave.
Martin is man of wealth and is in

cable line and a southbound car Of the
Third and Kearny street line came to-
gether with a crash at the junction of
Geary and Kearny streets last night at

the screaming of the women it seemed
for while as though many people
were injured. Both cars were moving
slowly and were crowded The Geary-
street car struck the Kearny- car
at the front platform. smashing the
lower step. Women screamed and a
general stampede followed. 1t took
only few minutes to separate the
cars. The Kearny- street car proceeded
on its way and the Geary- street car
made feeble attempt to continue on to
its destination, but only got as far as
Grant avenue, when the grip refused to
hold the cable. The collision drew a
crowd of 1000 people to the scene

RUSSIAN DEuAyD AND SUPPLY


The Russian autocracy appears at last to
have decreed certain measure of reform. A
national assembly is to be created partly rep
resentative and with limited powers. When
its constitution is fully disclosed we shall know
better than now what TO think of it. For the
present we can only renew the observation al
ready made-that it is apparently to be neither
legislature i'll the modern meaning of the term
nor a zemsky sober Of the old Russian type.
From both of these it WILL according to all
forecasts. be radically different. But while
awaiting its fuller disclosure it may be of profit
TO recall the demand TO which this grant Of an
assembly is to be regarded as the official an
swer. The demand formulated by the re-
cent Congress of Zemstvo and Municipal Rep
resentatiyes, held at Moscow in defiance of the
police. That body adopted socalled Remon-
STRANGE, which has been likened to that OF the
English House of Commons to Charles l in 1G41
1t is at once something more than that and-in
omen, sincerely trust-something less. That
ii is one Of the most impressive comments ever
made upon the state of Russia is not to be uues-
toned. Made by an alien observer, it might be
open TO charges Of ignorance or of prejudice.
Made by the Zemstvo and municipal representa-
tives Of Russia, it must be accepted as inspired
by the most perfect knowledge and by the deep
est sympathy. If any men know Russia and
wish her well, they are those who were the
members of that historic congress.
The Remonsrance begins with recalling the
governments solemn announcement of reforms
six months ago. Then 1t shows, with remorse-
less citations of the record, that that announce
ment has not been fulfilled. but that those who
should have fulfilled 1t have themselves been
violating the law. Last January it was de-
clared by the Emperor that proposed laws must
pass through the Council of the Empire; vet
since then ten important measures have been
promulgated without such passage Thus, SAYS
the Remonstrance, "in place of the declared
legality and legislative procedure we still have
"in all It's ancient strength legislative license
land legislative haphaZard." Under such a sys-
tenn or lack of system, there flourish abuses of
all kinds especially evasion of responsibility
and hdeous oppressions such as the January
massacres In ST. Petersburg and other massa-
cres since in various parts of the empire and
daily outrages by the police-wrongs for which
nobody is called TO account and into which there
Is not even investigation. An appalling cata-
logue is given of instances of religious intoIer-
ance. Of police and military repression and of
subversions Of that freedom of the press"
which was so recently promised.
At the conclusion Of such review OF recent
doings the members of the Zemstvo and Munich
pal Congress solemnly and unequlvocally set
forth their convictions that the government is
not really desirous of reform, but is moving-so
far as II is moving in that drcction-against its
will; that if the necessary ana promised reforms

ALBANYS CALAMITY.

The harm done by the collapse of the Meyers
Building in Albany on Tuesday can be esti-
mated better than on the day of the acci-
dent, but it is doubtful If the whole truth is yet
known. Twelve dead bodies have been taken
from the ruins, and one victim died in the hos
pital Though the persons engaged in the work
of rescue expressed the opinion yesterday af
ternOOn that further search would result in no
more discoveries, it must not be forgotten that
there were still about twenty-fv employees un-
accounted for. 1t is possible that the number
of lives lost exceeded a score.
1t was hardly to be expected that the con-
tractor in charge Of the alterations of the build
ngs would throw much light on the cause of
its fall. He processes to be puzzled. Well, per-
haps he is. There is, however, a prima facie
case against him. No one has been able to sug-
gest any other explanation for what happened
than carelessness in conducting the work of ex-
cavation. Mr. Dyer can clear himself in the
public mind only by presenting more plausible
theory. In the mean time Mayor Gaus evnces
commendable disposition to get at the facts
1t is TO be hoped that he will not relax his cf
forts until the basis for criminal prosecution
has been found. The worl: of indictment and
trial will be the duty of other officials
