Revolutionary Incendiarism.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Kieff CORE
spondent of the STANDARD" ascribes
the recent destruction of naval depots
at Sevastopol to revolutionary incen-
diarism, in which the sailors of the
Baltic feet, who lived on shore in bar
racks, shared.
He quotes an eyewitness as saying
that the sailors were badly victualed,
overworked, and unpaid. They were
sent to war without being allowed to
bid farewell TO their relatives. Finally
they openly refused to obey orders On
one occasion sailors, who were on the
eve of starting for the East, pelted their
admiral with all sorts of missiles after
he had made a farewell speech to them.

Rioting following. The mutineers. who
had armed themselves with iron rail-
ings. forced their way into the dwellings
of unpopular officers, maltreated them,
and set fire to their dwellings. They
then rushed to the headquarters OF the
naval staff. where a detachment of in
fantry was on guard.
Fired Into Air
The troops were ordered to fire a vol
ley at the rioters, but they fired into
the air, and none of the sailors were
hurt The troops were thereupon or
dered to their barracks and another de-
tachment was sent to replace them
These acted similarly.
The Express" publishes story sim
liar to the foregoing, but represents tho
u.utinous sailors as causing the fire.
This. however. is obviously untrue, as
the sailors of the Baltic fleet left Sevas,

proved. First violations and infre-
quent violations have not been classed
with continual aid persistent viola

for single emission of less than one
minute.
The report also says:

number of minutes in a day at long in

The Commissioners cannot, in view
OF the interests Of the whole communi-
ty, agree to any of the amendments 8
suggested, believing that the least OBJ
ject1onable of them would be a step
backward in the effort to diminish the
smoke-nuisance in the District, and so
enhance its attractions, and would be
unfair to those citizens who have sue
ceeded, by the expenditure of money
and care in stoking, in preventing un-
lawful smoke emissions.

plant in the District, including those
now complying with the law, authority
10 emit dense black or gray smoke for
three minutes at a 3ine. even at in
tervals of an hour, more or less, it
would mean that more than $50 plants
would be filling the atmosphere with
dense black or gray smoke every hour
in the day The great majority of the
emissions under which prosecutions
have been brought could be lawfully
made under such a statute Moreover.
! If the law were amended in this way
the Commissioners would have to have
an inspector for every plant, because
IL might be necessary TO watch each all
day to see whether it violated the per-
mission 10 smoke only at certain in
tervals throughout the day. OF course.
no such force of inspectors could be
