MILD ARCTIC WINTERS.

In his lecture before the American Geograph-
ical Society the other evening Commander Peary
laid emphasis On the extent 10 which his plans
were thwarted last spring by the mildness of the
preceding winter. Because Of hfs arrangements
for getting earlier start over the ice pack than
ever before, he had hoped 70 make exceptionally
rapid progress, but in that respect he was sadly
disappointed The numerous leads which
crossed his path for the first hundred miles
north Of the coast OF Grant Land caused many
serious delays and in large measure deprived
him OF the advantages naturally 10 be expected
from his exceptionally thorough preparations.
Some of Pearys auditors must have been re-
minded by this part Of his narrative Of the
unusual meteorological conditions which pre-
vailed IN the United States last winter. These
favored economy in the use Of fuel and barely
permitted the formation OF thick ice except in
Maine and the Adirondacks. Until the subject
has been studied more carefully, 1t will be i'm
possible TO determine whether the coincidence
was accidental or not. Still, relationships be-
tween the character OF the weather IN one re-
gon and that IN another ara being discovered
from time TO time. Woekof, q Russian mete-
orologist, recently pointed out that when the
winters In his own country and in Sweden were
mild they were almost invariably more severe
than usual in Southern Europe. Here is a case
where dissimilar instead Of similar results are
produced simultaneously by one cause-presum-
ably the seasonal distribution OF the atmosphere
over large area. While the facts as presented
by Woeikof do not afford an exact parallel TO
the experience OF America and the archipelago
70 The northwerd OF II, they at least hint at a
connection between the character OF the season
IN Grant Land and that In New York State. Be-
Sides Woeikofs investigation evidently did ex-
tend TO the region within the Arctic Circle. II
sufficient data had been at his disposal he might
have found a direct correspondence between the
winters there and along the Mediterranean.
To an explorer who undertakes a task like
Peary's the knowledge of such relationship
would have little value 1t would apparently do
him no good after he had reached a station In
New-York tribune., 1906-12-20

Navertheless this country may be assumed not
actually to have been thus bound, for the rea-
son that President Cleveland did not submit
that Brussels treaty TO the Senate for ratlfica-
ton. and it never was ratified. and therefore
became and remains void so far as this cour
try is concerned Thus the new state came int"
existence, and in August, 1885, the President
of the United States formally recognized King
Leopold as its sovereign, but without regard
ing the state a dependency of Belgium. In
1890 the United States took part in an inter
national conference at Brussels, and its dele
gates on July 20 signed the general act there
adopted for the suppression of the slave trade
and the regulation of the trade in liquors and
firearms, an act which was ratified by the Sen
ate on January IL, 1892.
Finally. there was made, O1 January "a, 1891,
and went into effect on February = lS92
treaty of amity, commerce and navigation be-
tween the United States and the Independent
State of the Congo
These facts of record should indicate with
sufficient clearness what has been the Ameri-
can policy and what are therefore the Ameri-
can legal powers and duties toward the Congo
State It is obvious that the state has now be-
come something radically different from-in-
deed, Numerically opposite to-what was at
the outset intended and expected at least ~
this country. and that this country has formally
TecOSHIZeO anu ShHCuOHeN d NOiHOh VI -
fairs to which twenty-five years ago 1t would
have objected 1t will probably be concluded
that such recognition and sanction, now OF
many years standing, are not revOcable save
for convincing cause; and also that, despite
the manner of its signature of the Berlin act.
this country did not in fact assume IN respect
to the creation of the Congo State the same
authority and responsibility that the European
powers assumed, and that it has not, therefore,
the same technical title to intervention in its
affairs that they have. A for the moral ISSUES
involved and the moral rights of this country
which on occasion may transcend purely tech
nical and legal consideratiOns-they are another
matter.

The gift of the Schwab estate at University
Heights TO New York University is most well
come to that institution which has long desired
and indeed needed that property for the rap
idly expanding uses Of it's two colleges and large
summer school situated there. but whose strait
ened resources have prevented 1t from making
the purchase. The tract will splendidly round
out what is already one Of the finest academic
campUses in the country. and will provide room
for the additional colleges of the university
which 1t is hoped to organize in the not remote
future. The gift is also welcome to the public
of New York, since it assures the preservation
in attractive form OF a spot at once precious
for its historical associations and singularly
rich in natural charm.
