HURTING THE RAILROAD.

How disrupted the business condi- tions are in Mexico even in the ex- treme south. is revealed by the inabii- ity of the Tehauntepec railway to han dle it's regular line of work because of the uncertainty of delivery from one terminal to the other. Over this line a quarter of a billion tons of sugar have passed each year. shipments be- ing taken from vessels on one coast and delivered to those on the other for delivery to the Atlantic ports of this country.
 It is the blocking of this service which being unable to handle the car go of a Hawaiian-Am ship has resulted in the opening of the Panama canal on Saturday of this week to commerce in a limited way. This cargo is to be carried through the canal on barges and reloaded instead of go- ing via the railroad, a route which it will undoubtedly hke in the near fu- fure without transshipment. Even though after the canal is opened 1t will have the advantage of the shorter distance which it offers it cannot es- cape the costly operations of handling the goods so many times.
 Thus is the canal, through the aid of the Mexicans, getting business much earlier than was anticipated and the railroad being made to take a loss which might have been delayed for some time, although ultimately such trade, is bound to accept the advan- tages of the canal. It reveals, however, what the road. though but seven years old and a great distance saver and business getter during its existence can expect and what it has already anticipated, but to be rudely deprived of its profits by this unwelcome meth cd adds despair to Encouragement

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Human Nature.

If there is anything more inlpracti- cal and more maddening to 8 poor mortal parent or teacher than a grand educational programme it is hard to tell what it is.
 What happens to the most rational systems of child management when the mother has four little ones cooped up in city flat and must take care Of them and keep them from poisoning or maiming themselves. and must do this in such intervals of time as she can snatch between washing dishes, get ting dinner, cleaning house, sewing and mending?
 Also, a good mother may not be enc dowed with mental perspicacity and deep wisdom. A thousand times she does not know what to do. She may have real love and a high purpose, and do the wrong thing from sheer be- wilderment or ignorance.
 As for the school teacher, her ideal systems for developing the growing mind are usually crushed to death by numbers. Sixty children in a crowded room are too much for any human teacher. By and by she Is forced to drop back into mere routine because it is impossible to give each child due care and be alive at the end Of the week
 Yet, somehow. children do gro up and flourish. Weak and incompetent mothers bring up capable children. who love her and give her credit in maturer years for the best that is in them Out of the homes of the poor come great men and noble women. Out of the overcrowded schoolroom gar den human plants rise strong and fruitful.
 It is because human nature Is bet ter than any scheme for bettering it; because honest love is better than shrewd handling; because mothehood is more efficacious in its instincts than any experts are in their pedagogy and psychology; and because the child ab sorbs helpful forces from the atmos- phere of a school that far outbalance the personal guidance he misses.

SEPARATES THE ouARRELs.

The action of the rebels in refusing to agree to an armistice and the stfh- sequent action of the envoys in drop ping Carranza from the negotiations means that if the two quaTrels which prevail in Mexico today are settled they will be settled separately. While this country and the South American republics are anxious that peace should be restored in Mexico, the move which is now underway was begun by and hinges on the Tampico incident The trouble between this country and Huerta as a result thereof is entirely different from the conflict between Carranza and Huerta, and it must be realized in the present condition Of affairs that the former has an advan- tase which he Is bound to make the most of
 It has been maintained throughout that Huerta is the chief obstacle to the peace of the Mexican republic. It is his elimination which is sought by both this country and the rebels. Thus while the rebel action prevents the consideration of all the troubles it does not nulify the good services. which the mediators can perform in disposing of the international affair, and permitting that to have whatever good influence it may upon the clear ing up of the internal situation. The opportunity of the A B c republics has by no means been seriously in Jured by the action of CarranZa. Tenn -porarily at least the problem has been simplified and while the grouping of all Mexican ailments before the medi- Rtion board would have doubtless pre- vented much Mexican bloodshed, the separation of the quarrels may prove the quicker and surer way of reach ing the desired end.

STRANGE LACK OF INTEREST.

There are many things done by the voters of a city or state which are difficult to explain. It would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to attempt to unravel the reasons for all-of them but nothing seems so utterly incon- sistent with the welfare of a com munity as the lack of interest which is shown when some large appropri- ation is to be made or a bond issue for public improvements comes be- fore the people.
 It was but a few weeks ago that only minority of the voters of Hart ford at the regular election, took suffl- cient interest to vote upon the ex- penditure of a half million for wa terfrent property and at Bridgeports s special election Saturday for approval or disapprovai of a bond issue aggre- gating over a million dollars there were but one-quarter of the voters who considered it necessary to express their minds, the great majority of the voters and taxpayers being satisfied that the few should decide the matter. The case is the same in the state of New York where by light vote and a very small majority a constitutional convention was ordered and in which election arrests have now been made for corrupt practices. Crookedness is given admirable opportunity to get re- suits where there is a light vote.
 Fortunately the majority of the few who controlled the Hartford and Bridgeport elections decided wisely and they may be said to have cast a representative vote, but it is neverthe- less taking chances for the voters at large to trust to the action of the un- instructed few. It is a neglect of per- seual interest which leaves the major ity to blame should a big wrong be doae on such an occasion

TESTING AERoPLANEs FOR WAR.

Whether the present situation in Mexico assumes any more serious as- pect than at the present it is likely to be some time before our army is with drawn from the vicinity of Vera Cruz How faithful the federal forces are going to be to the agreement to sus- pend hostiiities Is problematic Their respect for the armistice can be de- termined best by their actions though their restiessness even now Is indicated by the movements of the men under General Maas near the Vera Cruz reservoir,
 This means that none too great re- 1iance must be placed upon the Mex ican attitude and that some excel lent training in watchfulness and precaution is in store for our troops Especially is it going to pro- vide an admirable opportunity for the trying out of the value and serv4ceAbility of the aeropianes in time of war.

REBELS MEET REVERSE ON SEA.
ConstitutiOnalist GunbOat Sunk in
Engagement with Federals.

On Board U. S. S. California, Ma
zatlan, Mexico, June 16.-(By Wire
less to San Diego, Cal. 1.-The Con-
stitutionalist gunboat Tampico was
sunk by the Federal gunboat Guer-
rero in 90 fathoms of water, leaving
the Guerrero the sole surviving a
ship representing either faction on
the west coast of Mexico. The battle
began at $40 a. m. and lasted until
noon.
The rebels lost ten killed and ten
wounded; the Federals none. In de-
spair at the outcome, Capt. Malpico
and his chief engineer, after fighting
with great bravery against heavy
odds, committed suicide.
The Tampico, which was on the
way from Topolobampo to Mazatlan,
was in no condition to fight when the
more heavily armed Guerrero, bound
south from Guaymas, o%verhauled her.
Capt. Malpico appealed to the
American destroyers Perry and Pre-
bic, which were following the Mexi-
can vessels, for a tow to Alfalfa,
where the Tampico hoped to take
refuge in shallow water. The laws
Of neutrality prevented the American
commanders from complying, but the
Perry and Preble and the cruiser
New Orleans, accompanying them,
were able to save many from drown
ing when the Tampico sank, and to
give surgical aid to the wounded.
After her victory the Guerrero
headed south for Mazatlan.
Her Flag at Half Mast.
Mazatlan, June 1S.-The Federal
gunboat Guerrero, which sank the
Constituencies gunboat Tampico
yesterday, arrived here this morning,
with her flag at half mast, in honor
of Capt. Malpico, Of the vanquished
boat. Malpico attempted to escape
from the sinking boat in a launch.
The Guerrero chased, but did not fire
on the launch. When MaiDico was
about to be taken he committed sui
eide. He was formerly "a lieutenant
in the Mexican navy.
The United States cruiser New Or
leans and destroyer Perry, which
witnessed the naval battle, have also
arrived. The New Orleans carried
six wounded men.
The Constitutionalists have evacu-
uated Piedras Island, as they feared
bombardment by the Guerrero.
