home from Quebec. At that time she travelled
for nearly three days at the rate of 2513 knots,
thus surprising the achievement of the Lust

from Brow Head TO Sandy Hook This amaz-
ing exhibition of speed is the subject of much
comment in England, and it is expected to
exercise a strong influence on the naval policy
Of all nations making pretensions to strength
at sea. As has been pointed out more than
once by The Tribune. she combines a gun power
practically equivalent 10 that of the Dread

the ability 10 travel faster than any vessel in
the merchant marine.
Twelve or fifteen years ago the Lucania and
Campana were the swiftest vessels in the

engines was 10000 horsepower and their speed
slightly exceeded % knots an hour The
Deutschland was provided with engines develop

dominated the planning of the crime. Can the
people be so obsessed with the unwritten law
as to excuse brutal, bloody slaughter in the

NATIONALLY INTERESTING.

The announcement that Governor Hughes IS
going 10 stump the Middle West for Mr.. Taft
disposes Of the argument made by certain
Republican. To the managers of the national
campaign he locks uHcommonly like a Republi-
can. and not only tnat, but like one who is an
asset of the party. one in whom the Republicans
Of the central part Of the country. the battle
ground of the campaign deeply interested,
whom they like and admire, whose mere ap-
pearance among them promises TO add strength
to the ticket
But if Governor Hughes has standing of
that sort throughout the debatable section, II
he is there admired as an exponent of those
policies and tendencies which voters there de-
sire to see triumphant in the East. what m-
preston would the Reputation of him in New
York produce there? Would not the doubtful
voters there of progressive inclinations resent
his rejection: Would they not judge the Re
publican party by its action toward him, and
feel. if he should be repudated. that political
management of the sort w.ich the West has
revolted against had still too strong hold here
in New York? Would not Mr.. Bryan seize
upon the repudiation of the Governor as his
issue, and endeavor to show that the Republi-
can party could not he trusted and that it was
dominated by forces antagonstiC 10 the people?
Would not the incident give him Il plausihility
he now lacks? Mr.. Hughes in his candidacy
presents moral issue. and one which it would
be hard to confne within the boundaries of the

CARDINAL GIBBONS AT MILAN.
Well Satisfied with Visit at Rome-Would
Be Glad to See More American Cardinals.

Milan. Aug. 17-CardinaI Gibbons and his party
with the exception OF Monsignor Straniero. who
left them at Florence. arrived here to-day from
Rome After short stay the preate started for
Switzerland going to the Villa Benziger, on Lake
Lucerne.
Cardinal Gibbons expressed satisfaction with his
visit TO Rome, saying that II most delightful in
every particular. He received every attention
while there. and foun. the Pope especially interest
ed in America. grasping with wonderful acumen
the inner spirit and breadth of the adherens of the
Church in America.
The Cardinal. when questioned. made objec
tion to speaking of the probable appointment Of
another American Cardinal. remarking that he
would be most pleased If not only one but more
American prelates should be raised 10 the purple
to share with him the responsibilities and burdens
of his position He added. however, that the
Pope was the arbter in the creation of Cardi-
nails.
Cardinal Gibbons was particularly impressed with
the working OF the Roman congregations, at which
he assisted. He declared that neither the Amer
ican Congress- the British Parliament. nor any
other political body known to HIM could approach
In dignity, impartiality and broadness these gath

PLEA EOR TIE CHILDREN.

The manager of the Tribune Fresh Air Fund
reports that last night 723l children had been

one Thousand in excess of last years record 1T
that date The receipts for the year quoted yes
tertiay were POI 90. every penny Of which
has been used for transportation of the children
and their attendants and the maintenance of
those who are in the Fresh Air Homes sup
ported wholly or in part by the fund
But today the treasury is empty, and unless
friends of the fund respond to this appeal the
work for the year must cease, and this in spite
of the fact that there are seventeen parties OF
children booked to go to the country this week,
and ten next week. Invitations have been Sc
cured at great pains and extensive preparations
made for the reception of the little people All
this il was necessary to do two or three weeks
ago in order that the children and their hosts
might be ready at the proper time; ears nave
been ordered by the various railroads and dlrec-
tions sent broadcast for the proper transporta-
ton Of the children. For the Fresh Air Homes
provisions have been secured, and attendants
engaged for the season ending September II.
These arrangements have been made on the as
srlmptfon that the friends of the children VINO
have been so generous already would be able 10
contribute a sufficient sum to meet the eNtraor-
dnary needs of this year.
In the news columns every day stories are
told of the benefits derived by the children
from their outing both physically and mentally.
It is believed by the manager that the friends
of the Fund will not wish to have the parties
stonped or the Homes closed, but that this
simple statement will suffice to secure the
necessary money to complete the seasons work.
To take 10 the country the twenty seven parties
mentioned and return those and the thirty 1--WE

TOO MANY FIRES.

Comment has frequently been made upon the
much greater number Of railroad accidents and
of persons injured and killed in them in Amer
ica than n Great Britain. A still more strik-
ing and in some respects more discredtabe
contrast between this country and Europe is
disclosed in the statement of fires and fire
losses. Thus, in thirty European cities there is
a yearly average Of only S6 fires TO each 100
600 inhabitants, while in the cities of the
United States there are no fewer than 405 to
Ne 100000. Again in those European cities
the average yearly loss from fires is only 81
.ents for each inhabitant, while in American
Ger!es it is 50 10. IN the whole Of France the
yearly loss from fires IS about 30 cents for each
nha5itanJ. in the German Empire il is 40
cents. and in those two countries and Austria,
Denmark, Italy and switzerland all taken to-
gether il is 33 cents, while in the United States
il is s. 02.
1t is difficult 70 find adequate excuse, or
indeed any excuse ft to be made. for that show
ing. Some might say that buildings here are,
the whole, more VALUABLE. than those in the
Old World, and that therefore loss from their
destruction is greater 1t is not at all certain
that this is so 10 any considerable extent and
il surely cannot be true 10 a sufficient extent
TO explain losses which are from five to nine
times greater here than there. Others might
perhaps plead i greater number of frame
structures here than there and consequently
greater infammabiiity. which may in meas
ure be true, but certainly not enough TO justify
having five times as many fires as they.
Moreover. buildings here are probably the
average newer than there, and therefore should
be Of better construction We boast of the ex-
cellence of fire departments and their
equipment, and make fun of the ''pompiers' of
Paris, and plume ourselves on being the worlds
leaders in the art Of fireproof construction. Yet
we lose from six 10 twenty-five times as much
each year from fires as do those European
countries upon which locB 20 patronizinclv
these facts indicate that isere is something
radically wrong here, and il is something which

4 POSER EOR LIZ. RRY4N.

dispatch from Lincoln says that the expe
diency of an attack on President Roosevelt,
in Democratic campaign literature and stump
speeches. Will be urged at the conference of
leaders in Chicago this week. Bryan men all
over the country are proposing that the Peer
less One" forget his former kindly attitude tow
ard Mr.. Roosevelt. Even though Mr. Bryan
may not personally lead the assault, It is hoped
that he will sanction the policy.
Such a proposal is calculated to make Mr.
Bryan decidedly uneasy. 1t cannot possibly
add To his strength, whichever way he decides
the question. The voters not forgetful
as Mr.. Bryan has at times seemed TO think
Should he approve attack on the President
and what he stands for, they would recall the
praise he has bestowed in the past and chalk
down TO the dScredit Of the eternal campa gner
another surprising reversal of form. More
over certain voters who have been lulled into
a tolerant attitude toward Mr.. Bryan by this
very admiration would be rudely awakened.
On the other hand suppose Mr.. Bryan refuses
TO allow any attack the President and what
he stands for. How then is he going 10 in
spire campaign enthusiasm in the hearts Of the
Democratic workers? Moreover, what will hap
pen TO him at the polls when the Democrats
OF independent leanngs line up to vote? VIII
they support man who Is running in OppOs-
