Japan's Volcanic Eruption.

Japans latest catastrophe happily appears TO
have been less destructive than at first sup
posed. 1t was however sufficiently destructive TO
maintain that country's unenvable eminence as
the land most scourged by volcanic eruptions and
earthquake shocks The basin and the rim of the
Pacific Ocean are the chief theatre Of such disturb
ances and perhaps the worst part of the whole area
is the strip along the Asian coast, comprising Kan
chatka the Kuriles Japan, Formosa and the Philip
pines. And Of that strip Japan forms the geo
graphical seismic and volcanic centre.
Volcanoes most prevail in regions Of seismic dis
turbance and along lines Of fracture and perhaps
the greatest earth crust fracture the world has
known I'm modern times was that Of the Mno-Owari
earthquake In 1891. Three years before it there
occurred the eruption Of Bandaisan, which blew
three thousand million tons Of rock and earth off
the side Of Mount KObandai. These were sample
japanese disturbances. Perhaps they no
greater individually, than those Of San Francisco
Martinique, Messna, Krakatoa and Hawaii. But
sOnal elsewhere.
There is singular fitness in the circumstance
that while Japan Is thus the chief sufferer from
such woes she has also taken the lead in the scien-
tifc study Of them. 1t in February, $780, that
tremendous earthquake devastated Yokohama : and
almost before the vibrations had subsidized the Ses-
biological Society OF Japan formed, the pioneer
in the worlds research and observation Of such phe
nomena That is an added title of Japan to the
sympathy of all nations in her inevitable and ire
mediabe affection.

The Port and Its Defenders.

Mayor Mitchell gracously discharged public duty

tee Of the House of Representatives TO urge further

duties here and go to Washington on such an
errand? New York City has twenty-fOur members

New York has over 80 per cent OF the foreign com

per cent Of the river and harbor appropriations
made by Congress. Does that ratio measure the
zeal and industry of the defenders of this poft?
unfortunately there is some reason 10 think so.

SOME THOUGHTS ON Mr.. HEARST
His Record of Rule or Ruin" Is
Spread Forth at Length.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l read your editorial on Mr.. Hearst
and Mayor Mitchell with much interest
Every word you say is true. Mr. Hearst
is a rule or ruin man. lie is as bad as
Murphy If he cannot rule public oftl-
cial he starts i'm Immediately to ruin him.
Take Bryan, for instance. Hearst sup
ported him In 1896 and 1900, but because
he could not control Bryan he has been
doing everything In his power to dis
credit him.
Take Suffers case That is more re-
cent Hearst supported Sulzer enthusl-
astically when he was candidate for
Governor. lie attended the Governor
Inauguration, and he and Mrs. Hearst
were at the Executive Mansion for sew
eral days. He thought he would be able
10 control Sulzer Before the end OF last
January he demanded that SulZer APP
point Jack Follansbee, one of Hearst
followers Public Service Commissioner IN
place Of Wilcox. Sulzer refused. This
was the beginning Of the trouble between
Sulzer and Hearst. Then Hearst de-
manded that Sulzer remove Mayor Gay
nor on account of the subway contracts
Sulzer refused and said that he would re-
move no public official except upon
charges OF malfeasance in office when
had To be proved beyond the peradYenture
of a doubt. This ended all relations be-
tween Sulzer and Hearst, and Hearst be-
gan to attack Sulzer almost Immediately
thereafter
Now Hearst has tied up to Glynn. Inc
arrangement is that Glynn is TO be cam
didate for Governor and Hearst cahdi-
date for United States Senator Murphy
has O. KID the arrangement. How long
II will last no one can tell. Glynn Is
very cunning, and the Murphy-Glynn-
Hearst combination will last until after
election.
am glad you are after the state
gra alters. OF course Glynn is protecting
them. That is the reason he was maze
Governor. The way to get a the facts is
through an Assembly investigating com
mittee. The Tribune should demand this
