.ELks HAVE A GOOD TINE
SKATE AT PAVILION RINK AND
AMUSE A BIG AUDIENCE.

Walla Wallans were last night given
an opportunity of witnessing the ma
neuvers of the fleet of Admiral Evans
which is now making it's way into Pa
cific waters, and soon after Manager
Wright cleared the floor at the Pa
vilion rink and announced that the big
cruisers were to arrive shortly, people
rose excitedly in their seats each in
hope of gaining first view of the big
men of1War.
Hardly had the word been given be-
fore the graceful skaters began to ap-
pear in. the port, arriving from every
corner of the big amusement resort.
The flagship of the fleet, Fire Chief
Metz, made a pretty picture, and was
gazed upon in admiration by the
throng of spectators, Is 'she" hove to
the Art Harris, the Charley Martin, the
Jack Lambert, and last, but not the
their brilliant colors, though with an
omnibus warning sounded by the APP
pearance of the rapid-fire machines, as
gracefully they rounded the large hall
on dress parade.
The Elks again demonstrated last
night that they are there with the
goods when it comes to getting the
best there is to be had out of life, and
there was not dull moment for the
spectators from the arrival of the
fleet until it had steamed away up
on it's mission of encircling the globe.
Few falls were recorded, and the jolly
bunch of antlered beings succeeded In
gliding here and there at will, COM
plete masters of the treacherous rollers
which a short time before were mas
tiers of them.

training for the tournament last week.
His ulna bone is as strong as it ever
was.

that would match him would put on

THE 4NTT-G4uBLING MESSAGE.

If the fate of the anti gambling bills were to
be settled in accordance with the weight OF the
argument there could be no question about the
result. for Governor Hughes's message is unan-
swerable. The plain mandate of the constitu-
ton prohibits racetrack gambling, nor was its
wide and sweeping language used accidentally
and without consideration Of its effect upon
bookmaking at the tracks. 1t was put into the
constitution for the distinct purpose of stopping
gambling at the racetracks Gambling else
where was sufficiently guarded against by pro
hibitory legislation. but at the time the consti-
tutional convention was held racetrack gam
bling enjoyed a special exemption under the
laws. 1t was in order to make such discrim-
inatory legislation in favor of the racetracks
impossible for the future that the prohibition
against gambling put into the constitution
Nevertheless in the Percy Gray law way was
found to discriminate in favor of gambling at
the tracks in spite of the constitution.
Not word can he said in defence of this dis
elimination in favor Of gambling, as the utter
collapse of the racetrack arguments at the vari-
Gus hearings abundantly showed. For a long
time no one has come out in the open and at
tempted TO meet the powerful arguments with
which the Governor has brought the intolerable
situation home to the minds Of the people. There
is no public sentiment in support Of the Percy
Gray law, as indicated by the desperate
means employed by the hookmakers' agents In
order to create an impression that public opin-
ion was divided. In matter on which the pub
lie is united that resort to forgery was
needful to procure vote for the booknakerS
there would seem TO be little room for doubt
regarding the ultimate result. The moral sense
of the state revolts at the knowledge that q
special privilege to violate the constitution is
granted TO a demoralizing traffic. There is no

FALSE PRIDE.

The phlanthropist's woes are again made
evident by the latest East Side revolt against
'coddling." committee Of nine Jewish physi-
clans and business linen decries the work of
the Childrens Relief Society on the ground
that il is sensational, unnecessary and even
detrimental To the East Siders. The protest
ants even suspect the motives of the would-be
philanthropiSts. Thus unintentionaliy de-
picted the difficulties confronting all who would
improve the condition of New York's half mill
ion or more East Side immigrants. The pro-
fest confirms the opinion held by most char
ity workers, that self-compacency is one of the
chief obstacles TO social Improvement. When
physicians and merchants issue such n
report, what must be the narrow mindedness Of
the less enlightened citizens whose spokesman
the committee is.
The committee accuses the leaders of the
Children'S Relief Society of sensatonalsm.
Had IFS members read more carefully the inter
views published iu various reputable news
papers they would have found all charity and
school officials condcmning the exaggerations
of sensational sentimentaliSts They seem to
have been misied by the extras" and to have
charged UP the sins of their scare heads" TO
the persons mentioned in them. This
know. is an American habit. but il is not rea-
son. Again, the committee would prove the

ton among the underfed, the opinions therein
expressed being construed as the direct effect

But Miss Rchmam and her associates in relief
work cannot claim credit for furnishing The
Tribune with new views about the East Side
or incur blame for leading us into error. The
sef-imposed handicaps under which many East
Side Jews labor and the hardships caused
thereby have long been obvious to Intelligent

THE W4NLNG OF "fANANA."

Governor MagOon's order that provincial and
municipal elections shall be held in Cuba on
August l next is Il practical reminder that the
provisional government is moving steadily and
inexorably toward the restoration Of the con-
troll of that island to the people thereof, in ac-
cOrdance with the pledge of more than ten years
ago. 1t is pertinent and valuable reminder.
which is TO be welcomed and which it is TO be
hoped the people of Cuba will thoughtfully
gard. 1t has been reassuring and agreeable TO
them, no doubt, to feel that Governor Magoon
was at the Palace, that the power of the United
States behind him, and that, therefore, they
were happily freed from all responsibility for
the administration OF their island. But every
dream Of dolce far niente comes to an end at
last, and Cubas awakening to the practical
realities of governmental responsibility is now
near at hand.
There are those who think that It is too near,
but we cannot agree with them That attractive
and promising magazine, The American Colo
NAL Review which Mr.. L. Y. De Abad is pub
fishing In this city and Washington, expresses
the opinion that the United States is under
obligation, before leaving the country, to
organize 1t that the inhabitants of the island
shall be assured of order, liberty and stability
lin its institutions" That is in a sense quite
true, and may add that the United States
may properly be moved not only by sense of
duty, but by considerations Of policy, since it
will be for this country's comfort and welfare
to have Cuba so securely set upon its feet as to
be sure of standing and walking alone and not
needing any further Intervention. 1t would,
however. he a mistake to interpret the rule too
literally. The United States cannot be expected
to remain in Cuba indefinitely II it is under
an obligation to organize Cuba for good self
government, Cuba is under at least as strong
obligation TO facilitate and expedite that
ganization much as possible.
We are inclined to think that the ordering of
these elections is the best possible way of NOV
ing Cuba TO fulfil that obligation. There have
been those in that island who have desired
American occupation to endure as long us pos
sible. and who, therefore, have actually discour-
aged and delayed preparations for renewed au-
tonOmy. 1t is well that they should be re-
minded that such tactics Will not permanently
work. The proverbial postpOnement until
''manana' cannot be indefinitely repeated in
dealing with the United States. When the pres
ent Intervention occurred Il long distant ma
mana was denoted. But il was, after ALL a fixed
date and not one which constantly receded
The tomorrow TO which Americans refer in
evitaby becomes to-day" when il arrives The
Cuban elections for governors and alcaldes are
to be held Tomorrow" but that morrow is
August l. and that date will stand still in the
calendar until get to il, and then it will 10
more be tomorrow, but to-day. 1t behooves
Cubans to get ready for the inevitable which
cannot he postponed.

KING EDWARDS VISIT TO CAR.

Sir: There viii be wide popular sympathy IN
America with the protest in Parliament from
the Irish Nationalist members and the labor
members against visit from King Edward TO
the Car of Russia at this time. diplomatic
may perhaps render the visit a necessity,
but II is intensely dstasteful to see the head OF
free and constitutional government exchanging
compliments with autocrat In whose name
the most atrocious crimes and crueltes con-
stnntly being committed.
The breach of faith with Finland the torturing
of political prisoners. the court martiailinK and
summary execution of hundreds of civilians
guilty OF no serious offence. the of null
tftudes OF innocent Jews, the withdrawal of ali
the liberties solemny promised To the Russian
people, the Imprisonment for indefinite time
OF noble men and women convicted OF no crime
like Catherine Breshkovsly and Nicholas Tchay-
kovsky the exilinE OF thousands to Siberia every
year By arbitrary decree. without trial or convic-
tion-these are but partial list OF the crimes
which have darkened the reign of this unhappy
car And the record is growing darker daily
with ever increasing reaction and oppression
The protest In Parliament represents humanity
against despotism. The working people of Eng
land have shown themselves be on the side OF
the oppressed now, they did at the time of our
