LArHAn AND HIS ALRSHIP.

Unsuccessful though Hubert Latham's first
attempt to cross the English Channel ID an
aeroplane has proved. there cannot be much
doubt about his performing the feat before
long. The distance from Calais to Dover IS
scarcely more than twenty miles. Both OF the
Wrights, Curtiss and several foreigners nave
made much longer flights in heavier than air
machines. These other aeronauts travelled over
land, to be sure, whereas Mr.. Latham sailed
over water; but as he selected A reasonably
calm dav for the venture and was accompanied
by n torpedo boat destroyer, he ran no special
risk-perhaps no greater risk than if he had
flown dozen miles in France His alrshlp was
not seriously damaged and he was unharmed-
circumstances which to a man OF his tempera-
ment cannot fail to have been encouraging. BY
the time he is ready to try again he Will
doubtless have learned why his engine dlSap-
pointed him and will have taken whatever steps
are necessary TO insure greater certainty OF
action.
In addition to the reputation which may be
won by the realization of his purpose, Mr..
Latham has inducements of pecuniary nature.
At least two handsome prizes have been CT
fered for the first fight across the Channei
with an aeroplane. TO win the Deutsch prize
it will be necessary for the aviator TO take
with him particular companion. NJ Renard.
At present there are no indications that MI
Latham Contemplates trying 10 WIN tAe Hlohe!
which has been pledged 10y the well known
French patron of aeronaUtics. but he evidently
has his eve onsa tempting proposition o. one
OF the London newspapers Besides. he has
probably made wagers the result Of his
undertaking
The machine used by Mr.. Latham is not one
of his own designing. He is an aeronaur, not
an inventor His aeroplane is the product OF
the Antoinette works, in France. It's most
striking characteristic Is the employment or
only one outstretched surface the Nrights en-
ploying two However, ii is not the first mono
plane the world has seen. Langley preferred
single surface. and though his big machine was
wrecked In launching and never had n trial, his
models worked beautifully. One Of the results
Of Mr. Latham's flights therefore, will be to
renew the discussion Of the merits OF the two
styles Of aeropane. Perhaps this viii he the
most important fruit of his efforts.

THE END or C4RLTSN.

1t was announced a few weeks ago, how au-
thoritatively we do not know, that the death
of Don Carlos, which was then seen TO be near
at hand his followers would recognize King
Alfonso as the legitimate sovereign Of Spain,
and thus end the long struggle for the principle
of the discredted and abandoned Sale law.
There was no intimation at that time concern
ing the wishes or intentions of Don Jaime, but
it has for many years been commonly assumed
that that prince need not be taken seriously in
political matters and that he would make no
important effort to continue the claims and the
agitation which his father maintained for more
than forty years with much constanCy and
ability and with great cost TO the Spanish gov
ernment. A contrary report now emanates
from Madrid. but there seems to be little sup
port for it in reason or circumstances.
The death of Don Carlos the third pretender
of that name who called himself Charles VII
of Spain. recalls various chapters Of Iherian
history. some discreditable and some heroic and
romantic: beginning with the War of the Span
sh Succession. leading through the detestable
reign of Ferdinnd VII. with the revocation
restoration and re-revOcation of the Salic law:
the tainted but powerful administration of
Christina the various Carlist wars, the revOlu-
ton of 1868, and the final establishment of the
Alfonsist dynasty. More than once CarliSm has
menaCed the Crown. and once the coveted prize
was within the grasp Of the prince who has just
died but was forfeited by him for the sake Of
his characteristic Bourbonism. That was in the
interregnum between the flight of Isabella and
the calling of Amadeus The crown then
offered to Don Carlos on condition that he
would guarantee to Spain a liberal constitution
and separation of Church and State To that
condition he refused to pledge himself. and thus
he lost his real chance to win the crown
just as the Count Of Chambord refused to he
restored to the throne of France because France
would not also restore the white lily flag of the
BOurbOnS
We may probably reckon this the end of
Carlism There is no doubt that many, prob
ably the most and best OF the followers Of Don
Carlos will now acknowledge the Legitimacy of
Don Alfonso It may be that Don Jaime him
self will do So If he does not. he will be un-
able to command in his pretendership major
part of the following which his father, his
great-uncle and his great grandfather enjoyed;
and such following he had would have to be
called by another name-let say JaimiSts
instead of Carlists. Just the ruling faction
has been called Chrstnos. Isabelsts and Al
sovereign. But JaimiSt movement would be
a hopeless antclimaX after the three gallant
but Intellectual Carlst campaigns. The prob
ability is that with the end of the third Don
Carlos CarIiSm will pass into history and will
no more be disturbing force in Spanish affairs

THE LEssENIHG ACCIDENT ROLL.


The community and the traction companies
are both the gamers through a remarkaDle re-
duction in the number of persons involved IN
street railway accidents. The statlstcS lSSueu
bv the Public Service Commission show ue-
cline from ~ killed in June year ago 10 y
last June while for the same months the NUM-
Der injured was reduced from o 739 to 1858. IhlS
saving of life and limb has been due to the
improved condition of the rolling stock OF the
streetcar companies and to the adoption or
safety devices under orders from the Public
Service Commission.
The gain has not all been to the community
One of the heaviest drains upon the street rail
way corporations of this city has resulted from
damage suits for personal injuries. In one month
such injuries and fatalities have been reduced
by 500, or more than 15 per cent One or the
factors mentioned by the bondhOlders reorganl-
ZatiOn committee Of the Third Avenue Railway
as favorable to the financial prospects of thaC
property is the greatly reduced number OF
damage suits brought against it. The railways
and the commission should cooperate to cut
still further the roll of injuries. The results
in this instance bear out what we have always
maintained. that reasonable regulation is as
much in the interest Of the street railway COM
panieS as of the public.

A shocking tragedy. in which a ten-year-old
boy killed a three -year-old girl. is directly at

CONTR4cT LABOR LAW 4BUSEs.

The contrast between the right way and the
wrong way 10 enforce a useful law is convinc-
ingly set forth by the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor in his recent statement accompany
ing his order for the release Of certain persons
who had been arrested for alleged violation of
The alien contract labor Law. There can be 10
question that its general intent is good. and
that il should be fulfilled. But as Mr. Nagel
points out the law is susceptible of being pros
ututed TO the purpose of personal persecution
or intimidation and of thus being made an in
stument of gross injustice. a misuse of 1t which
should by all means be discouraged if it cannot
be altogether prevented.
IN the case now under consideration some of
the aliens appear 10 have entered the country
without protest being made against their doing
so. and to have remained here for some time
without molestation or question Of the proprietv
OF their donicie and employment. 1t was not
until strike occurred in the industries in which
they were engaged and they incurred the ami
mostly OF the strikers that they were charged
with being contract laborers Others were oh
iected TO upon their arrival or soon afterward
but that was during strike in which they were
employed to take the places of strikers One
wto was at least as much subject to suspicion
Of violation OF the law any OF them was not
only not moested, but was actually shielded from
arrest by the strikers apparently for no other
reason than that he sided with them The reck-
less character Of some of the charges which
were made against them and the whole aspect
OF the case strongly suggest the conclusion that
the chief IL not the sole object of the complaints
was 70 strengthen the strike rather than to vim
dicate the principle Of the law.
Mr.. Nagel wisely and justly suggests that
such accusations were made against some Of
these persons should not be made ard arrests
should not be ordered save on far better grounds
than those which existed in these cases. An an
peal TO the Law during a strike. upon ''irre-
sIsonsible accusations. superficial inquiries and
"hasfy conclusions gives too much cause for
suspicion OF intimidation. suspicion which il
verified would bring the law into contempt
And IL is probably judicieus TO hold that. as Mr.
Nagel sass, violations of the law against the i'm.

THE GOOD Will or THE PUBLIC,

In these days when it is customary 10 refer
10 the public hostility to and suspicion of cor
poratIons. and especially public service corpora
tons the general good will shown toward Mr..
McAdoo's Hudson & Manhattan tunnel enter
prise is noteworthy Mr.. McAdoos company
has perpetual franchise for the most important
part Of his lines and perpetual franchises have
given occasion for a good deal of criticism Mr..
McAdoo has capitalized his company TO suit
himself or the exigencies Of his undertaking
He has been quoted as saying that there must
he some ..sweetening" for capital In the securi-
ties of such a company. The publc's sensibiii-
ties are said to be exceedingly tender On the
subject of the amount of capital a corporation
NAV issue. Yet there is never a whisper OF
comnlaint about the Hudson & Manhattan COM
pany.
The chief benefits OF the New Jersey tunnels
will accrue to the cOmmuter, and not TO the
resident of this city. Yet the enterprise is
looked upon with great favor among New York
ers. When permission to extend TO the Grand
Central Station was asked the request met with
exceptionally hearty support, and If MIR. McAdoo
should propose to extend further in Manhattan
or over TO Brooklyn his proposal, no doubt,
would be generally acceptable. The explanation
why an enterprise which sins against the mod
ern canons regarding perpetual franchises and
publicly regulated capitalization and which bene-
fits those who want to live outside of New York
rather than those who want to live in New York
should enjoy SO much popular coed will, while
favorably regarded public service corporations
are the rare exception. is not far TO seek The
lesson might be a profitable one for some of Mr..
McAdoo's contemporaries TO study.
