THE prBLJC sERVICE ORDERS.

The Public Service Commissions orders are
q moderate reasonable and conservative be-
ginning Of the policy Of compelling the trac-
ton company TO furnish an adequate service
The commission has carefully let the rush
hours alone They present questions of the
largest magnitude. With regard to them the
practicability OF an increased service must be
grarely considered But regarding the hours
1ust preceding and just following the rush
hours, wnen it has been the practice Of the con-
pany TO allow crowding on its cars only lit
tie less than during the rush hours, no ques-
tions Of practical biity enter. The management
Of the company has already admitted that 1t is
not running as many cars in non-rusb hours
as it could. and that its policy is not TO see that
every passenger has seat. when practicable.
but to see that ii is running no trains with
vacant sears-a result that is best secured by
having at all hours Of the day fair proper
zion of strapbangers. But the company will
have hearing and an opportunity TO show
cause why the orders should not be put in force.
The orders in regard TO the surface lines seem
fair and reasonable. 1t is notorious that de
spite the ci:y's growth in population the service
on some If moi all Of them has been steadily
cut to effect economies demanded by high
finance" The City Club not long ago made d
report upon The decreased service on many lines,
and the Madison avenue line was one Of the
worst offenders There seemed TO be danger
that X the rsreees. We're to be kept up the ser
vice on Madison avenue would soon be as infre-
ouent az on rural trolley. Therefore the pros
pective orders TO the Madison avenue line will
he very welcome r. twellers in that part Of
the city
An increased service in the hours Just before
and lust after the rush hours will afford relief
to & considerable part of the travelling public.
OF course large percentage OF the travel in
fjnis cftv Is IN the rush hours. OF what remain
large percentage Is in the hours Just before
and iust after them. During the rest Of the
dav traffi.. IS light and Is Oh the whole fairly
well accommodated So if the commissioners
succeed IA correcting the evils just before and
after the rush hours If viii be great gain fof
eiac pubic and beginning in this moderate way,
they Will probably gain experience and light
that VIII help them to attack that most difficult
l,rei,IcrT OF getting New York 10 and from work
IN a reasonably comfortable manner during the
rush hours.

FRENCH NAVAL POWDER.

OF the various official Investigations held to
determine the cause of the lena disaster. that
which was conducted by the French Senate
commission resulted in the most emphatic YER
dict II was known three or four months ago
that this body attributed the accident TO spon-
taneous combustion in Of the powder maga-
zines, but until now its recommendations Tor
the future have not been published
Concerning the justice Of the assertion that
the administrative efficiency Of the French navy
Is not what it should be we have no reason TO
express an opinion, but 1t may be doubted
whether the suggestions made In regard to
ammunition, specific as they are, go quite far
enough The adoption of precautions not care
fully observed hitherto, to prevent the genera
ton of heat In the immediate vicinity OF the
magazines, would probably lessen the chance
Of an explosion. That there might be an in-
provement in the methods OF manufacturing the
powder is also credible. Nevertheless inasmuCh
as the commission satisfied that the powder
was at fault, surprise will be felt at its failure
to recognize the Importance Of more radical
innovation than those which II advocates. y
special dispatch to The Tribune from Paris not
long ago reported the fact that there are in
France ordnance experts who believe that nitro
glycerine compounds are more dangerous, be
cause chemically more unstable than guncotton
compounds. The 'B" powder used by the
FTench navy belongs TO tDe former CLASS, ana
that now employed by the American govern
ment TO the latter. Had the French Senate
commission pursued It's inquiry further 1t might
have advised following the example of the
United States
Reforms which are proposed in a critical
spirit. or in what might be construed such,
DO not often commend themselves to the ap
proval Of those whose cooperation IS necessary
to their adoption. Hence 1t may be doubted
whether the introduction OF a new kind OF
powder into the French service would have
been hastened had the change been explicitly
favored by the Senate commission. Still. the
primary aim Of the investigation which i'm
puted the loss Of the lena to spontaneous COM
bustion was presumably to enhance the safety
OF men and ships hereafter. A failure there
fore. to recommend measure which might be
expected to prove more effective than any dis
tinctly specified will cause criticism elsewhere
if not disappointment in France.

INTERNATIONAL ADJUDICATTON.

Arbitration and adjudication to be
somewhat confounded at The Hague Or per-
hapS it is that some nations continue to prefer
the former in all eases to the latter. Upon no
other theory can we readily explain part of the
opposition to the American plans for inter
national Lgh court Of justice. The first objec-
ton offered was that such a court would be I'M
necessary, since one was already III existence
having been created by the former congress in
1899 That was mistake, for the tribunal of
1899 and is purely one of arbitration, while
the new one is to be Of adjudication. Now it is
proposed by various nations to amend und alter
the American plan so to transform the
court from one OF adjudication to one of arbi-
tratfon. OF course, if that were done the
tribunal would, as formerly argued be superfiu
Gus.
Thus the Mexican delegation, in opposing the
American plan. speaks of new and really
permanent arbitration court" and then argues
strangely that such a court should be entirely
outside Of political or national influences and
yet must be an organism representing all the
countries the basis Of the most absolute
equality" That seems TO US much as though
some one should say that the Supreme Court Of
this state should be entirely outside Of political
or partisan influences, ana that, therefore, it
must contain representatives Of all the parties
, on an equal footing. That principle of partisan
representation 10 dulIe appi opi late anu pSiHapS
Indispensable in q tribunal OF arbitration. It
is more properly to be ignored in a court of
justice. 1t is to be regretted that some of the
nations represented at The Hague do not appear
vet TO have risen TO a full conception OF the
functions of purely judicial procedure in inter
national affairs, or to have appreciated the utl-
it, Of a court of justice for the disposition Of
juridical cases, while political cases may still
be reserved for the entirely different court of
arbitration.
1t seems to us that this demand for universal
ant equal representation the bench of the
high court of justice is mistaken and is much
to be deprecated. The true IDEAL Of such a
bench is not merely one containing partisan
