BONDS OVER THE COUNTER.

Although some disappointment has been ex-
pressed at the relative Slowness of the Over-the-
counter sale of city bonds. We disposed to
think that the experiment made under the Nc
Carren law has justified itself To sell bonds
in small amounts requires good deal OF tedious
bookkeeping. and from the point of view of
convenience the Controllers office may not
welcome the disposal of bond issues at retail
Yet already more bonds have been marketed
with private purchases at par than with bid

TH0sE C0REAN SENTENCES.

II is easy 10 sympathize with Japanese re-
sentiment against the duplcity Of the former
Emperor Of CCrea in surreptitiOusly sending a
delegation to The Hague 10 seek to stir up
trouble for Japan The improperly of his
doing so was sufficiently shown in the attitude
of all the powers toward those delegates, Not
one. so far as we can ascertain, gave them any
official recognition or moved for their reception
by the congress. 1t seemed to be unanimously
perceived that they had no standing there and
that the sending Of them was improper. Nor
are there many who are disposed to critcise
seriously the enforced abdicatiOn of the SOW
ereign who was responsible for that i'll starred
enterprise.
AT the same time, it is not easy, if indeed it
is possible 10 approve the severity Of the sen
tences which a Corean court has Just imposed
upon those unfortunate delegates. One Of
them has been sentenced to be hanged and
the other two 10 be imprisoned for life. As
they are all now in this country the sentences
will not be executed, but the men will have to
remain in exile to avoid that tragic consum-
nation If they had acted on their own in
itiatiye in going TO The Hague and if their
mission had been the cause of any serious com
plicatiOns such sentences would still have been
extreme though possibly justifable. But seeing
that they merely obeyed the orders of their
legitimate sovereign, who could and probably
would have punished them had they refused
and that their mission came to naught and
caused no harm whatever, we must regard the
sentences as calculated 10 go very far beyond
making 1.-The punishment lit the crime" In
stead. such punishments would be al egregious
and inhuman mstit
II is said by one OF the condemned Corezins
that OF course the japanese are responsible for
the sentences That may be the case; or it
may be that the Corean court has acted ac-
corling 10 its Judgment. with a serviie
desire 10 curry favor and insratiate itself with
the Japanese government. In either case a
word from Japan would doubtless materially
commute. If it did not outright quash. those
monstrous sentences: and the utterance Of that
word would greatly commend Japan to the
confidence and esteem Of the world.

FURTHER TESTS or THE TURBINE

1t was hardly to be supposed that in the Ten
years which have elapsed since Mr. Parsons
first proposed to apply the turbine to marine
service the merits and demeritS OF the scheme
would be fully revealed. The progress thus
far made in getting at the truth has certainly
been rapid. but both engine builders anu snip
owners realize that they have yet something
