The RIaht to a Seat.

The New Haven railroad is out with
specific statement on the mo seat-no
fare" question raised by ex-Gov. Chamber
lain of Connecticut, Corporation Counsel
Ely OF New Haven and the president Of
the Connecticut State Business Mems as
ISOLATION, a short time ago, on a train
running into the Elm city from the west
ward. The railway company insists that
the gentlemen were violators of the law,
and should be arrested. 1t admits that a
common carrier is bound to furnish reas-
enable seating accommodations for the
average number of passengers carried
but it qualities this by the following con-
tention which II represents is supported
by Baldwin's American railway law and
other decisions; "A passenger has a right
to a seat in a train, but he has not the
right to a seat in any particular train.
II he boards a train and finds the seats
are exhausted IT is his option to travel on
that train without a seat or take the next
train upon which he can get a seat. II
he insists upon remaining upon a train
where there is no seat he must pay his
fare" This may be good law and prac-
teal, but 1t seems to presuppose that the
passenger is afforded a reasonable time to
go though the train in an effort to find a
seat. and ample opportunity TO get of
after he finds 1t impossible to find one.

400 killed by ryphoon In HOnokono.

A typhoon struck Hongkong harbor and
swept over the city at 10 o'clock Tuesday
forenoon, working fearful devastation
among the shipping and in the streets Of
the city 1t is estimated that 400 lives
have been lost but the exact number re-
mains unknown, and the extent of the
damage is estimated conservatively at
a million dollars. Eight steamers have
been wrecked or foundered and six have
been driven ashore. while the total ships
lost, including sailing craft, win reach
200. The streets of Hongkong are piled
with debris and the surface of the harbor
and the shore are strewn with wreckage
of junks and sampans innumerable, which
fell victims to the typhoons rage, and
the exact total of these will probably
never be known.
A huge tidal wave accompanied the
typhoon, dashing high into the streets
beyond the clock tower, overwhelming
pedestrians, rickshas, sedan chairs and
coolies, and carrying many unfortunates
to watery graves in the harbor ,as 1t
receded
The Chinese in the city are panic
stricken, as they ascribe the disaster to
the wind and water demons.
