HoNoRs WON AT SAN FRANCISCO.

It is to the credit Of human nature that al
most without exception every great crisis or
disaster in history has produced the men for
the hour, men who act swiftly, rightly and
braveIy in the face Of peril that benumbs less
heroic spirits. Happily the great earthquake
and fire at San Francisco confirm the rule as
to ''the sudden making of splendid names"
The first official mention Of some of the many
heroes developed by that overwhelming caam-
lily has reached the public In a communication
from Secretary Shaw, and three pages Of the
report are devoted to little more than the bare
recital OF the acts of bravery done by Lieu
Bear Among the notable things which are
placed to the lIeutenant's credit are the saving
of the Appraisers Building, the taking of
gang of murderers from the city pen at the
request of the authorities and turning them
over to the army at Fort Mason, the unsuc-
cessfuI attempt at saving the FairmOunt Hotel
and the preservation Of most of the valuable
paintings in the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art
The Acting Secretary OF the Navy Mr. New
berry, has also laid before the President let
ters and kilograms from Rear Admiral Good
rich. commander in chief Of the Pacific Squad
ron; Rear Admiral B. II. McCalla commandant
Of the Mare Island Navy Yard, and Lieutenant
Colonel Henry g. Haines, Of the marine corps
describing the efficient work OF a long list of
men in the naval service.
Naturally, however, the most immediate and
pressing duty devOlved on the army rather than
the navy. Though as yet no official report has
been made. the country awarded prompt and
unstinted recognition to the work OF General
Funston. Shaken out, like the rest of the San
Tranciscans, by the earthquake General Fun
stOn seems to have taken In at a glance the ne
cessities of the case and without warrant of
law acted as the extraordinary conditions de
manded. AS the general himself said. 1.-THE Con
"stitution and the laws were not framed for tho
purpose OF dealing with the conditions aris-
'ing from earthquakes and tremendous confa-
"grations," and I'm adapting his actions to the
circumstances he rose at once to the emer-
gencv. He was met in a similar spirit by what
he terms "a level headed lot OF city officials
and Americans can take just pride, not Oniv
in the army's and navy's, but also In the clty's
official work during the three days and nights
of fright and horror which marked the passing

ST. GAUDENS's JEFFERSON.
To Design Statue for Public Park in Wash
ingtOn.
IFrom &c Trihune Rureau. ]

From The Tribune Bureau.l
Washington. May S-Arrangements have at
last been made TO obtain sculptOr's designs for
the statue Of Thomas Jefferson which. by
authority Of Congress. is to be erected In one OF
the public parks here. The commission charged
with the work consists Of Secretary Root and
the chairmen OF the House and Senate Commit
tees on Library. and report was made to the
House to-day by Secretary Root that Augustus
81. Gaudens has been obtained as sculptor. and
that as soon as Mr.. St. Gaudens's health permits
a model will be prepared and submitted to Con-
gress The delay has been due to the death of
Secretary Hay. the former chairman OF the COM
mission. Haste will now be made TO have the
statue finished
AUTHORIZATION By Congress Of the expenditure
OF 100000 for Jefferson statue Is the result OF
long agitation by the admirers OF the Monticello
sage The appropriation was provided in the
Sundry Civil Appropriation act. approved April

the radical and the irrevocahIe step toward It
which is now being taken. We have recalled
that Rurik was contemporary with Alfred But
when Montsort founded the English Parliament
Russia was in the Mongols' grip. When Eng
land was in the splendors of the Elizabethan
age Russia was under Ivan the Terrible. When
Cromwell was making England the worlds
greatest power Russia was fighting Poland for
the Ukraine and Peter the Great had not yet
appeared From Peter the Great to Nicholas
/ Russia made some progress it is true, but
what was it compared with that made by Eng
land from William and Mary TO Victoria? The
Russia of to-day is more fit for a Parliament
than was the England Of Montfort's time, and
we may reasonably hope that, with the tremen-
dous influence of nelghboring Europe to aid her,
she will make henceforth a more rapid advance
than did the island realm which had so largely
to play alone the arduOus part of a worlds
pioneer in progress.
There is to-day no spot in all the world more
interesting to the student of human affairs than
the Tauride Palace. We have said the great
experiment there is being auspiciously made.
That is not because of, but In spite Of, specific
attendant circumstances. The "Black Hun
dreds' of reaction and the bomb throwing as
sassns of radicaism have done, down TO the
last moment their utmost to discredit and to
defeat the opening Of the new era. But they
have failed. and in their further struggles
against the inevitable we gladly and confidently
believe they will fail. Upon the black back
ground Of the Byzantine eagle on the Speakers
desk st. George is Staying the dragon. Upon
the black background of a thousand years Of
savage force the old dragon Of despOtism is be-
ing slain by the knightIy spirit Of awakened
Russia-the Russia of n new era.
