where hostile operations might be most
serious TO Russian interests. A blocking
of the road there would shut on from
communication with Europe not only
Manchuria and the AMOR ana maritime
provinces but also the whole or Trans
baikal Siberia. or half or that empire.
The Manchurian road, on the other
hand, would stop at the Amoor ana not
touch the all-Rnssian line across the
continent. which IS now being com
pleted, while It's point OF intersection or
the existing Manchurlan road would be
far down In Manchuria. so that If 1t
were occupied by hostile forces Euro
pean access to Eastern Siberia ana to
Manchuria itself would still be unini-
paired.
The one apparently possible reason
for Russia's preferring the Monaghan
to the Manchurian road Is that she In
tends or desires to acquire and to re-
ain permanent possession Of Manchurla
and its railroads. as she once cOnfeSsedly
planned to do. instead Of withdrawing
and restoring them to China in accord
ance with her later treaty stipulatiOnS.
That is n design which we are not
willing TO impute TO Russia. Yet it must
be apparent that efforts to debar China
from the proper use and development of
her own provinces would be fitted to
provoke suspicion, and that the persist
ent execution of such q policy would
surely make more difficult and more I'M

NOT IN THE ROLE.

The remarkable intimationS of Mr..
Pinchot that Secretary Ballinger is at
heart a yandaI working for the destruc-
ton Of the vast natural resources which
have came to us as national heritage
and tina be Is allied with Western and
other int -ests intent on the spoliat1on
of the pLb'c domain are hardly Sus-
tanned by the Secretary's action in with
drawing the pc. nit given by Secretary
Garfield TO the city of San Francisco
for the appropriation Of the Hetch-
Hetchy Valley as a reservoir site. The
valley q part of the ! lsemitr TeServa-
tion. is a tract of rare natural beauty,
equalling in the opinion Of many
Judges. the Yosemite itself. The city Of
San Francisco finding the basin avail
able for water storage. sought the per-
mission of the Interior Department to
dam the present watercourse flowing
from the valley and turn it into reser-
voir.
So long as Secretary Hitchcock was
in office this request was refused. But
during Mr. GarfieId's incumbency Il
concession to San Francisco's apparent
needs was made. and authorization was
given to the towns and cities ab0ut
San Francisco Bay TO use the valley
for aqueduct purposes. Mr.. John Muir.
the naturalist, strongly opposed that
action. since he maintained that the Gre
alton of a reservoir would mar, if not
entirely destroy. the beauty of one of
the choicest valleys in the Yosemite re-
gion. Other n8turalists and members
of societies for the preservation of the
forests and scenic marvels of the Far
West Joined in the protest. but until
now no assurance has been given that
the Hetch-Hetchy Valley would be pre-
served in all its integrity and natural
charm.
1t must be surprising to Mr.. Bal
fingers critics to find him appearing as
the champion Of the preservation of Il
threatened portion of the Yosemite
Park. since they impute to him deter
mination to make the shortest nossible
work Of the whole policy of en1serva
ton and TO turn over to the spectators
not only the coal. timber and mineral
resources of the public domain. but even
to withdraw from governmental protec-
ton the older reservations. like the Vel
lowstone and Yosemite. which were ere
ated from aesthetic rather than eco-om-
ical motives Ii will be awkward TO
keep on denouncing as spectator" Mr..
Ballinger. who has shut the San Fran
cisco water engineers out of the Hetch-
Hetchy Valley. while extolling in the
same breath as a devoted friend of con-
sef-vation Mr.. Garfield. who saw no
harm in turning the valley over to civic
and commercial uses.

CHANCELLOR M4CCRAChEN.

The transformation of a small, dwin-
ding and moribund undergraduate col
lege and a couple of unrelated and semi
proprietary professional schools into a
genuine university organization. with a
dozen schools and faculties. four thousand
students and millions of dollars worth
OF property on unsurpassed sites, would
be in itself and alone an achievement
worthy of lifetimes efforts. To have
made that institution during many years
a pioneer in several important depart
mentS Of university work. so as to have
put its impress in a perceptibe degree
upon the collegiate and university life Of
the nation, is an additional distinction
of enviable rank.
These things are. in brief. the achieve
mentS of Henry Mitchell MacCracken at
New York University. for seven years as
vice-chancellor and for nineteen years
more as chancellor. When he gave up
the chancellorship of the Western Uni
versity of Pennsylvania TO become vice,
chancellor of frsiiversity of the City
of New York, as the local institution
was then known. the "Chrvsals college"
of WinthrOp'S romance was trembling on
the brink of extinction. He gave it new
life He established the graduate school,
removed The undergraduate departments
10 their splendid uptown site. created
the school of pedagogy, the school Of
commerce, finance and accounts, the
womens law class, the downtown collie
giate division and the important extra
mural division. He put the law school.
the consolidated medical schools, the
veterinary school and all other depart
ments under true university organiZa-
ton and control. Indeed. he approx
mated about As closely to the outright
creation of a university as it has been
given to any man 10 do
Other college and university heads
know. letter than it would be fitting here
10 say. to how considerable an extent
his work at New York University has
been initiated and emulated by them and
to what extent New York University has
thus been a pioneer in true university
development in America. That extent
has not, we believe, been small The in
stitution Oh Washington Square and at
University Heights has been under DR..
MacCracken's direction a force of far
more than local or even national pU-
tency, and the energy of that force will
doubtless remain long after its author
has ceased his active labors. The I'M
pending retirement Of DR.. MacCracken
from the CHARACTERISTIC which he has so
long and so successfully filled, although
not unexpected. will be sincerely regret
ted by thousands who have enjoyed his
association and instruction and
by vastly larger constituency which has
observed his productive and profitable
labors with qualification and pride, but
that regret will be tempered by the re
Election that his work has been so well
so substantial and so success
ful that il will endure despite all the
changes which time may make
inevitable.

TWO CHINESE RAILROAD PLANS
The first obvious comment upon the
Chinese railroad which the Russian
government has suggested to our own
as an alternative to that which China
herself wishes to build through Man
churia from Chinchow by way of Tsi-
tsihar to Aigun is that 1t would not
be Manchurian road at all, but Mon
golian. Excepting for few miles at
the southern end it would not be on
Manchurian soil. Instead of running
from northeast to southwest through
Manchuria it would run from northwest
to southeast through Mongolia. 1T
might be pr,otita bic road and serve a
valuable purpose in opening UP a vast
country which is now closed save 10
caravans. But it would not in any con
siderabl sense be substitute for the
Manchurian line, any more than a road
from Buffalo to Chicago would be {,
substitute for one from Baltimore to
New Orleans.
No convincing reasons save one are
apparent why Russia should prefer such
a road to that which China wishes 10
build in Manchuria. There are even
some strategic reasons why she should
regard 1t less favorably than the latter.
The Monaghan road would connect di-
rectly with the Transsiberian road at
Lake Baikal, almost in mid-c ointment,

THE STATUS AT WESTMINSTER

THE STATUS AT WESTMINSTER
Analysis of the results of he recent
elections in the United Kingdom and Of
the composition Of the House of Com
mons shows clearly how unstable is the
temporary equilibrium which the gov
eminent has established and how many
and ominous are the possibilities of its
destruction. The government has a
ma iority only by virtue of coalition,
and while the Liberal party has by the
narrowest OF margins a plurality of the
House il fell far short of a plurality
of the popular vote. The aggregate OF
the latter WAS $3.50, 402 the largest ever
polled OF which the rnioniSts had s.

are in the House 273 Unionists, 275 Lib
erals 40 LaborfteS and 50 Nationalists.
incidentally it will be observed that
each Unionist member represents 1892
party votes, while each Liberal repre-
sents only 1O,405, each La Dor member
