MARINE RULES OF THE ROAD.

When the steamship Caronia ran into a mud
bank near Sandy Hook Tuesday she was pro-
ceeding cautiously. Her hull as might have
been expected, proved to be unlnjured when she
was eventually released. But between the de-
tention on Flynns Knoll and the necessity for
waiting for the next high tide she lost a little
more than two full days. A delay Of that kind
WORKS inconvenience in several ways. To the
passengers it was a vexatious experience, To
the owners Of the ship it meant extra expense
More coal than usual was burned. more cater
ing was required and when the Caronia reaches
Liverpool extra labor must be employed to I'M
load and reload in the short time available for
those purposes, or else her earnings by the next
westward trip will be reduced as a result of
leaving some Of her freight behind. Any ex-
tenslVe departure from the regular schedule Of
a big steamship is always costly
The predicament in which this fine vessel was
placed grew out of another which is altogether
too common at the entrance to New-York Har-
boz. Her pilot, finding that the Kaiser Wilhelm
II had anchored in the narrow channel off the
Hook, proposed to pass her to starboard and
he would probably have been able to do so sue
cessfully had not another obstacle appeared in
his path. This was a small schooner which
technically had the right Of way. The only
alternative was to swing the Caronia over tow
ard Elynn's Knoll; and in consequence she slid
on to the bank far enough to stick Though the
effect Of such encounters is not often as serious
as 1t was in this case outgoing and incoming
steamships are continually meeting sailing craft
in that same locality; and from a quarter to
half an hour is not infrequenuy lost by con-
ceding to these vessels their legal rights. Every
veteran in the service of the transatlantic lines
can tell a dozen stories which hinge on the
obstnacy of the skipper of a coaster drawing
not more than eight feet Of water
Such abuse makes 1t advisable to consider
the expediency Of amending the marine rules
of the road. In deep water sailing craft are
justly entitled to the privileges which the law
comedies to them. Theoretically, If not prac-
tically, vessel propelled by steam is more
readily controlled than one propelled by the
wind. In a harbor like that of New-York how
ever, the situation is greatly changed. A ship
drawing nearly thirty feet of water must follow
a narrow and tortuous channel whereas light
draught schooners can go almos: anywhere with
safety It would be only fair under such con-
dItions to compel the latter to yield the way
to the former.

EXPLOSIVES AS FREIGHT.

The lesson of last weeks tragedy at Harris
burg will not be wasted. Senator EIkins, Of
West Virginia, the chairman Of the Senate Com
mIttee on Railroads. has just announced that he
will introduce next session and try to push
through Congress a bill to regulate the trans
portation by railroads Of high explosives. In the
last Congress a bill Of this character died in
committee, the opposition Of the express and
fast freight companies being powerful enough to
smother it. Public attention had not then been
called to the latent perils of this traffic, and it
was argued with some plausblity that special
restrictions were both burdensome and unneCes-
sary. The Harrisburg disaster has shown the
mockery Of this jaunty and heartless logic, and
transportation agencies of all sorts will prob
ably join in recommending legislation
which will reduce the risks of high explosive
traffic TO the minimum. In view Of the enor-
nous damage claims created by last weeks acct
dent restriction has become for the railroad
companies a matter of business prudence and
sensible economy.
1t seems clear that the wreck at Harris burg
would have resulted in little or no loss of life if
the freight cars derailed had not been loaded
with dynamite. Wrecks caused by the break
ing of freight trains and the pitching Of freight
ears across passenger tracks occur almost
weekly in the United States. With the heavy
vestibuled passenger trains now In use relative
~ niue udIudSe Is uODe IN tDeSe Sn0SG-uDS, but
TO attach to an ordinary freight train cars which
are IN reality travelling mines, as dangerous as
the floating ones set adrift by the Japanese and
Russians off Port Arthur, is merely to invite
wholesale destruction. That more havoc has
not resulted from such practice must be attrib-
uted TO good fortune rather than to sound man
agement. Senator Elkins's bill will require cars
loaded with high explosives to be marked or
labelled so a to be clearly distinguishable from
all other freight cars. When not In trans
portation they are to be sidetracked by them
selves, outside the limits of cities towns and
station yards, and special care is also to be re-
CURED in assigning them positions in moving
trains.
1t is Of course, hardly practicable to compel
the railroads TO carry explosives in separate
trains flying special danger signals. but it is a
step in the right direction to segregate dyna-
mite cars when not in transit and to Danish
them TO switches outside town and city limits
Our methods Of railroading are a little subject
10 the reproach Of disregard OF personal safety

We have already called attention TO some OF
the constitutional niceties involved LII IliiS caSe'

Washington Governor Wolcott ana A'Uorney
General Knowlton some years ago engaged inc
services of well known Washington lawyer
They executed a contract with him allowing MN
to represent the State and promising Dim, IN ao-
dition to certain expenses, 10 per cent OIL INC

ago the Controller of the Treasury approved
warrant for $1,611, 740 So drawn to the suites
order, and the Treasury authorities turneu Tie
warrant over to the agent who had prosecuted
the claim. A new Governor and new Attorney
General had come into office, and they showed
some disposition to dispute the payment OF inc
attorneys commission. According to the states
new law officer constitutional proprieties had
been violated in assigning away the common
wealth's claim, and the contention was set up
that the federal Treasury must deliver the war
rant directly to the State Treasurer the lawyer
appealing subsequently to the legislature for
an appropriation to cover his fee. The lawyer
could not see it in that light. He did not want
to give up a certainty for vague right TO petl-
ton the legislature or a suit in the Massachu-
sets courts. He put the warrant in a safe de-
General that he could afford to wait If they
could.
The State has waited year, and has now
got tired Of waiting. The Attorney General
still advises fighting it out on the "const1tu-
tional" line. He would declare the original 10
per cent contract void, dispute the validity Of
the outstanding warrant and ask the Treasury
to issue new warrant deliverabl directly to
the State. He would v1ndcate State sovereignty
at any cost. The legislature, however, Is not in-
clined to sustain him in these constitutional
subuet1es. If it can get the money promptly
