Terminal Excavation.

One man was killed and another seriously
e,.1iured by an explosion in the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad excavation, near Thirty
second street and Eighth avenue, yester-
day morning. The dead man is James
y. Finnegan, 4s years old, Of PISS Eighth
avenue. Thomas Jones, 81 years old, of IL
Grand street, New Rochelle, is the injured
man.
The explosion is supposed to have been
lcaused by a steam drill which the men
tWere running hitting an unexploded charge
Of dynamite in the rock; The two men
were hurled into the air by the explosion
along with the drill. Jones, whose back
had been toward the drill, escaped with Sc

hurt that he died later in the French Hospital

Commissioner Ellison of the Department
OF Water, Gas and Electricity, sent a letter
yesterday to Robert A. Kelly Of Brooklyn
who was the head Of the. department in the
Low administration, in which he said he
would be glad to receive information re-
Rarding the conduct of the Water Registers
Bureau in Manhattan which Mr.. Kelly
said he was prepared to furnish.
Mr.. Ellison added that investigation by a
legislative committee or by a committee
appointed by the Board of Aldermen seemed
more or less remote, but an investigation
bY himself might be made Immediately.
At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen
yesterday Alderman Gunther Of the Com
mittee on Water Supply succeeded in getting
y resolution passed calling upon Commits
ei0ner Ellison to send to the board certain
Information tending to show whether there
kad been irregularities in the matter Of

Bellevue Hospital is to have four paid
doctors on it's staff to assist the internes.
The hospital authorities have for some
time been making efforts to get money
for the salaries. Yesterday the Civil
Service Commission granted authority to
the trustees of the hospital to employ the
men.
The doctors will receive $500 a year each
and will work In tours of six hours. 1t is
probable that men who have completed
their two years course as house physicians
will get the appointments.

New State Committee.

All the conferences and back-stairs
meetings over the selection of a new
state executive committee do not
geatly interest the rank and file, for
they have small use for state COM
mittee or a convention of any sort.
II the rank and file of the democratic
party in Alabama could have their
own way there would be direct action
hereafter ON all political matters.
Why should not the rank and file
transact their own business in their
own way? Who has a moral right to
say they are incompetent to transact
directly their own affairs? Such as
sumption will not be endured much
longer. The rank and file are begin
ming to fret under it, and when they
break away their action will be vio-
lent, If not revolutionary. They should
be permitted to participate directly in
the selection of the next nominee of
the democratic party for President,
and yet there are men in this state
who stand ready to say that they are
incompetent to transact in a direct
manner that piece of business. I'm
agin the inpudence of the assertion
This is why the squirming and wrig-
Cling over the formation of new
state committee does not interest the
rank and file. 1neir only interest in
it relates to their fears that it means,
in any event, an invasion of their
rights as American sovereigns, and
that is probably just what it does
mean.

Cotton is Kinu of Exports.

In 1866 the exports of cotton first
aggregated $200,00O,000, and in 1901
the $3OO,O00,O00 line was crossed the
first time. In the commercial year
just ended the $4OO,O0000O line was
crossed, something that never before
took place in the history of the coun-
try. The price helped us to reach the
enormous aggregate last year.
Nothing approached in value the ex-
ports of cotton. Nothing was even
half so large. And the officers do
not include exports of manufactured
cotton goods, which went to $53,O00,-
900 in the last cotton year. Never be-
fore had we exported so great an
amount of cotton goods.
We sell more raw cotton in Great
Britain than in any other country,
for there are over 100000 spindles
in the busy islands. Germany is our
next best customer followed by France
and Italy, sometimes by Japan, and
by the other European countries. In
manufactured goods China is far and
away our finest customer. Over one
half of all the cotton goods that we
exports goes to China, and probably
fully three-quarters of the products
of southern mills goes there. Moral
We should treat the Chinese justly,
doing nothing to offend their national
nride

Nine years ago warm agitation

tai savings banks sprang up, and it
was particularly strenuous and in
sistent In and about Chicago. But the
war with Spain came on soon after

the public mind in the war excitement.
Not few bankers opposed it, but as
a rule, the general public favored the
adoption of the system-a system
freely utilized in other countries.

A vast number of people need them,

springing up. its object being to Sc
cure legislation next winter that will
bring in postal savings banks.

SOME NEEDED LEGISLATION.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
For instance, there ought to be a law
prohibiting the crushing of mint in the
compilation of julep.
There ought to be a law forbidding the
use of the doggerel known as baby
talk, or 'goo-goo" talk to infants, on
the ground that it retards the progress
of young Americans in the mastery of
real English.
1t ought to be declared a felony for
any one at the theatre to tell his COM
panion what's coming next"
A law should declare it perfectly proper
for a clergyman to say something besides
"Fudgei" when he hits at a golf ball
and plows up ton of earth.
1t should be illegal for preacher to re-
iterate his text more>than 80 times in the
course of one sermon. or to go higher
tina .thirtiethly" in his enumeration of
points to be made.
1t should be against the law for any
group of women to discuss the servant
problem more than one hour at a time
without a change of subject, unless they
first obtain a written permission of the
President of the United States.

Senator La FoIIette,s "Defeat.0

The truth is no longer an anti-La
Toilette faction inside the republican
party of Wisconsin. The "Stalwart"
organization has been disbanded, and
the entire party in Wisconsin is per-
meated with La Folettes ideas. es-
pecially with those relating to pri-
maries and the regulation of rail-
roads. Those ideas have been fully
accepted by the Wisconsin republic
ans. Why Senator La Toilette should
have gone out of his way to stump the
state for Speaker Lenfoot for gov
ernor, against Lieutenant Governor
Davidson, no one seems to know. For
both had been co-workers of Senator
La Toilette, and Davidson had been,
perhaps, the more consistent support
er of the two. The supporters Of
La Toilette in his campaigns covering
fourteen years divided, about as many
supporting Lenfoot as supported
Davidson. Had La Toilette not stumped
for Lenfoot no one could have ascer-
tanned which was his man.
The impression seems to prevail
that the voters simply resisted Gov
ernor La Follette's determination to
name his successor in the guberna-
torial office, and they sought a remedy
by defeating his choice for governor.
No one thinks that the La Toilette
programme or La Follette's grip upon
the rank and file in Wisconsin have
been weakened. No boss will any
longer be tolerated In Wisconsin, and
the voting down in the primary of
Speaker Lenfoot has no further
meaning. The republicans in Wiscon-
sin will not accept any one as a die
tstor or boss. And yet when Senator
La Toilette seeks reelection to the
Senate doubtless he will be able to
summon to his support the men who
carried him triumphantly through
fourteen years of remarkable political
warfare.
1t is, however, a curious fact that
his first great political defeat should
have come through the first operation

Irritation and Nevada.

When the irrigation law was passed
its slyness put into it clause limit
ing all expeditures under it to the
proceeds of the sales of the public
lands. 1t was believed that the funds
from that source would soon fail, and
then the entire plan would have to be
abandoned. The very opposite has
happened. There are forty millions
of dollars in the irrigation fund, and
there has been money enough from
the outset to build all the works that
could be planned and carried out.
There will be no failure of funds, be-
cause every dam brings in more money
for irrigation purposes. Millions of
productive acres will be added to the
public domain, and not a dollar will
be appropriated by Congress directly
for irrigation.
1t is irrigation as much as gold
mining that is Transforming Nevada

THE only cards to be had of this city

no individuality, as they would apply to
almost any city in the country; but when
it comes to setting the sky on fire or shut
