PREY IS Q O.V COMMERCE IX WAR. v Two extremely practical and closely related questions will be the subjects of study and strategy during the British naval manoeuvres next month. These relate to the proper de fence of a nation's merchant marine and the best mode of attack upon that of an enemy in tune of war. According to " Engineering." the I co-operation of the owners -of most of th*- | freight steamers which «re likely to enter the ! zone of supposed danger— between Gibraltar and England— during the appointed period of « week has already been secured. To indicate that they are legitimate objects of prey these vessels will carry a red ensign, but will* lower it after the formality of capture, so that they will bo subject to no further detention. Ships bound .southward will be required to call at Talmouth or Milford Haven for instructions and to travel in company with other vessels br singly, as the senior naval officer in port may dictate. Ships that are homeward bound will stop in like manner at Gibraltar. To the old plan of sending several vessels together under escort then! are now many oh lions. The assembling of such a fleet can not well be concealed from the enemy in these toys of telegraphy. Since steam has displaced canvas, moreover, detection at sea would prob ably be much easier than it was a century ago. A third objection to the system is that in more ways than one It would involve delays in reach ing a vessel's destination. While precedent will be adhered to la a few instances for test purposes, therefore, experiments will also be made with methods better suited to modern requirements. Obviously the chief exercise of Ingenuity will be in the attempts to improve on the past. The execution of the two differ ent programmes will help to demonstrate whether concentration or dispersion will assure the more effective protection. England has a much larger foreign commerce than any other country In the world. Hence, adequate defence is more important to her than adequate attack. If la Intimated, however, that an effort will be made to develop new aggressive methods, so that a comparison may he made with the old ones, and a broader field of choice may be of fered for guidance In future operations. Doubts concerning the expediency of depre dating on an enemy's commerce have long been entertained by naval authorities, some of whom believe that "the game Is not worth the candle." That form of warfare may cause distress, but It can hardly decide the issue between two powerful antagonists. Still. In the case of Eng land, something more than pecuniary losses must be considered. A large part of her food supply comes from other countries, and a serious interruption of it Ik not to be regarded with complacency. A commission appointed to consider that contingency some years ago sug gested that a better system of communication between the navy and the merchant marine be developed. Ample facilities exist, of course, but what seems to be wanted Is an organized use of them. This will be undertaken during the coming manopuvres. After such preliminary practice as will then be afforded, It should be easier to deal with a real emergency if one should ever arise. SAN FRAXCiSCO INSURANCE. There may be flre Insurance companies so near the line of Insolvency that tbeir officers are burning to discover ways by which they can avoid payment of their losses in Ban Francisco. If so, we are not surprised at attempts to take advantage of the California statute which reads : Where a peril Is specially excepted In a con tract of insurance, a loss which would not have occurred but for such peril Is thereby excepted, although the immediate cause of the loss be a peril which was not excepted. If this law has the meaning which some com panies give it, all claims on policies containing tho earthquake clause excepting from the risk damage done by earthquake would be void. As the first cause of the nre was the earthquake. such an interpretation would prevent recovery on the great number of buildings which were not at all damaged by the shock, but which fell a prey to flames started perhaps a mile away. Similarly, if a company had a clause except ing damage from tho use of gasolene in a house, and a gasolene tank blew up, setting flre to si house and starting a conflagration which swept a whole district, it might not only refuse to pay the house owner storing the gasolene, but the innocent owners of all the houses to which the flames spread. Wo d« not know what the Califor nia lawmakers had In mind in wording this stat ute. Perhaps they meant merely to guard against claims for damages swollen by the violation of policies. Thus a fire might start from a cause insured against, but be made serious by the pres ence of combustibles not insured against In that case the loss really occurring from the ex cepted peril could not be recovered, though the Immediate cause was a peril not ex<«pted. How ever that may be. only extreme need, total cal lousness to moral obligation and despair of be ing able to continue a business for which good will is needed would induce underwriters to dispute on such a technicality the genuine flre losses of a stricken city to which the whole world is eager to contribute. San Francisco has long boon known as a tinder box. Insurance rates have been high there, be oiiuso every underwriter lias m>ognized the risk and foreseen terrible lasses when tho inevitable big flre came; but he has expected rich pickings before the day of reckoning. The day of reckon big has now come. Nobody expects the companies to pay for walls thrown down by shock or other direct damage of the earthquake. But no strong and self-respecting company, either in America or Europe, will refuse to meet the flre losses against which it has been collecting premiums at high rates for many years. Indeed, we do not believe that many companies will consider such a thing. The suggestion probably conies from weak companies which, without adequate resoun-es and in search of quick gains, over wrote themselves in San Francisco in a specu lative spirit. Perhaps even they do not expect to carry out this policy literally, but are merely threatening it in the hope of forcing a compromise of their losses and avoiding bankruptcy. The circulation of the idea may dispose sufferers to make easy terms without forcing any company to assume tho odium of actually standing for it. Cer tainly no company could afford to do this which hoped to continue in business. The reputation of having welched in its dealings with a people possessing peculiar claims to generous treatment, and receiving it from tbo great body of high minded Insurance men. would be fatal. Far bet ter the name of having impoverished itself to meet the claims of honor. The goodwill and trust earned by such a course would be as valu able as a surplus for building up future business. A NGLO-R I IBBI A X RE LA TIONB. Tho recent discussion of Anglo-Russian rela tions in the "Novoe Vreinya." of St. Peters burg, might well receive more attention than has been given to it. It is significant that what is in effect an elaborate and earnest plea for an amicable approaebment lw»tween tho two empires appears in ;i journal which is not only of great and semi-official authority, but which also has long l>een conspicuous for its antago nism to <;re,-u Britain carrying that passion so f.ir. indeed, as to manifest it toward Amer ica also because of the cordial friendship be tween tlsi« country and the United Kingdom. Those circumstances alone would make the "Novoe YreniyaV article noteworthy, but there are others, intrinsic to the article itself, of no less for<". The simple reminder that England Ims so easily and so completely established an entenU cordiale with France, a country with which she has quarrelled and fought a hun dred times more and longer than with Russia. is in itself— as we have hitherto observed in our own columns— ample demonstration of the possibility of such a change of relations be tween powers which have been known as "tra ditional enemies.' 1 The "Novoe Vremya" goes further than that and effectively exposes the fallacy of apply ing the phrase "traditional enemies" to Great Britain and Russia. For a whole century tho two wore in .-losost friendship. In the sixteenth century England enjoyed peculiar privileges in Russia. Toter the Great sought alliance with England. In the middle of the eighteenth cen tury three successive treaties of alliance were made between them. Although allied with Frederick against hit* other foes in the Seven Years' War, England refrained from attacking Russia. Catherine II cultivated close friend ship with England, and would have helped George 111 against his revolutionary American Colonists in 177«5 had she regarded It possible and prudent to do so. In the first Kusso-Turk isb war England gave Russia invaluable aid: In 171« a new alliance was formed between them; in the Napoleonic ware England aided Russia with subsidies; at Xavarino the two cooperated against Turkey, and Nicholas I down to the Crimean War was always desir ous of an approaebment and actually sought an alliance. Down to a little more than half a century ago. therefore, according to this Russian paper's own showing. Great Britain and Russia were traditions! friends and allies, rather than euemies, and It w«k only in the strenuous days of Palmerston and Disraeli, with the vast expsnslon of British Interests in Asia, that antagonism between them was developed. Having thus disposed of the historical argu ment against Anglo-Russian friendship, the 'Xovoo Vremya" proceeds with an even more effective present-day argument In favor of such a relation. It would be advantageous to Ron sla ou economic grounds, England being a close second to Germany and far ahead of all other NTW-YOKK r).MLY TRTRT XE. WKPNESDAY. MAY f>. 100 ft powers In commerce with Russia. Politically it would be of incalculable advantage since tiie lasses and disasters of the late war. Rus sia now holds, and for some years must hold, all her possessions on the Pacific on the suf ferance of Japan. As Japan and Great Brit ain are allies, an approachment with the latter would go far toward assuring continued peace with the former. Moreover, a friendly under standing between Russia and England would be of the greatest value in dealing with the question of China and in preventing the rise of a "yellow peril." As for the rest of Asia, it would be easy to settle "spheres of influ ence" in Persia, and to join the Russian Cen tral Asian aud the British Indian railroad sys tems, to the benefit of both. As for Asia Minor, it is with Germany rather than with (treat Britain that Russia may there clash, while possession of Egypt has lessened, if not de stroyed, England's oldtiuie interest in Constan tinople. Such reasonings seem, upon their face, direct and straightforward. Indeed, it would be dif ficult to point out a fallacy in them. Of course, there are thoae who will speak incredulously and admonishingly of the "truce of the Bear," and it would, no doubt, be an error to indulge in any nltrurian illusions over this or any other international matter. International friendships are not much more likely to outlast national interests than jire social friendships to outlast individual interests. But If an Anglo-Russian approaebment would be to the national interest of each power, there seems to he no reason why It should not be effected. Certainly for one of the most influential journals In Kusklh to con sider it aud to advocate it In such terms as those we have cited from the "Xovoe Vreniya" is auspicious of the promotion of such an ar rangement and of Its permanence when once it shall be established. SMOKE CASE COXVICTIONS. It seems ungracious to exult in any one's conviction of crime, but at least it is proper to rejoice in the enforcement of law and in the relief of the public from a nuisance. On that ground we mußt regard with much gratification the result of the one trial of a smut smoke case which occurred on Monday, and must hope that n similarly satisfactory disposition will be made of the numerous other cases which are now pending and which the various defendants were desirous on Monday, for reasons not at all dif ficult to discern, of having postponed. The offending concern whose chief engineer was convicted on Monday Is a very large and important one. Because of its* magnitude, its offence has been particularly serious. One of those mammoth smokestacks can pollute the air and defile the city more than a score of the smaller ones against which action has hitherto been taken. It is of encouraging omen that so big an offender is thus brought to book, and the good effect of the conviction will be increased, and confirmed if a substantial and exemplary penalty, and not a merely nominal one, is Im posed. So long as the big offenders enjoyed immunity, the little fellows thought they might do the same, iind so there was a general ten dency to disregard the law. With the big ones brought to book, the little ones, and indeed all, will be constrained to mend their ways. It is time for them to do so. It is high time for all to understand that the ordinances against smut smoke are meant to be euforced, that they are capable of being enforced, and that they will be enforced, equally against the smallest and most obscure and the largest and most in fluential offenders. TRADEMARKS IX CUBA. The Merchants' Association of this city has recently called attention to a handicap imposed on American manufacturers selling in the Cuban market, whicli should be taken Into account when the time comes for renewing our present trade agreement with Cuba. This handicap is the lack of protection offered to foreign trade marks — an oversight in Cuban law which en ables unscrupulous local dealers to appropriate labels made valuable by years of use or by ef fective and expensive advertising. Cuba was long a purely agricultural colony, having little need for trademarks except on sugar bags and cigar boxes. It had nothing to fear from the confiscation of such labels, and, seeking no pro tection abroad, has not troubled Itself to give foreign producers adequate protection within Its own borders. Under the Cuban law trade marks may be safeguarded by registration ; but the only test of proprietorship is priority in registering, and fraudulent claims cannot be upset by an aggrieved owner's proving an earlier use of a pirated label. In this respect American and Cuban statutes differ, for our law does not hold registration to tw> final and conclusive proof of ownership and permits any claimant, whether native or alien, to establish his right to a label by showing actual priority in use. We do not condone trick ery in appropriating a device which some one else has originated or made valuable, while the Cuban courts do condone it. If the real propri etor hns neglected to apply for registration within Cubaa jurisdiction. Cuban usage has not yet outgrown the narrow conceptions of own ership which sr> long subjected literary property to alien confiscation, but which have happily been superseded by broader and juster notions of international comity and international Justice, The Merchants' Association sensibly suggests that American manufacturers take the precau tion to register In Cuba all trademarks of value which have not yet been pirated. This will stop further confiscations. Hut it also urges the government to bring what influence it can to bear to induce Cuba to broaden the existing registration system. Fortunately negotiations for the renewal of the reciprocity agreement, which is to terminate in IWK. will soon l>egln. and this question can be discussed and disposed of In connection with the concessions in tariff rates to be granted by each country on the other's prod uct*, if we are to have reciprocity in trade re lations (and the interests of both countries have been strikingly served by the experiment now in progress! we can aiso ask for reciprocity in the protection of patent and trademark rights im properly wrested from • itlzens of one country by citizens of the other. BAD TYPES! OF CARS. The weather of the last fortnight has again especially emphasized -Indeed, they are ob vious enough the whole year round — the bad qualities of certain kinds of cars which are now widely and. we fear, increasingly used in this city, particularly in the Borough of Brook lyn. We refer to those cars which are not pro vided with adjustable window sashes, but of which the sashes must be either hermetically closed or removed altogether. Such can are lined throughout the year, Instead of the two sets — one open, the other closed — which were formerly used. In winter the sashes are in and the windows cannot be opened at all. In sum mer the sashes are removed and the windows cannot be closed at all. save with opaque cur tains which shut out light, but do not exclude raw winds or beating rain. The result it« that at few times are the care really comfortable. Even in winter it is not infrequently desirable to have a window open for ventilation, or, at any rate, to have a shade or blind to shut out dazzling sunlight — these cars have no shades when the sashes are in. in midsummer, too, when there is a driving rain, especially at night,' it is often desirable to have weatherproof win dows. But It Is in spring and fall that the cars are most unacceptable. During the last fortnight there, have been days when it was positive tort ure to ride In a crowded car with glass windows hcnnctlcally soalwl, and with not even blind* or shades to abut out the rays of the sun. which transformed the Interior of the vehicle Into a hothouse, and there have been day* — and many nights— It was not only decidedly uncom fortable, bat also a grave menace to health, to ride In a car with no protection against wind and rain save 111 fitting curtains with wide crev ices at their sides and big gaps at the bottoms, through which the wind • poured and the rain swept. Yet tens of thousands of people have been compelled to ride In them or else walk. With the economical desire of the companies to have cars which can be used the year round, thus avoiding the cost of two seta, we may sympathize. Moreover, certain features of these cars, especially the equipment of them with reversible cross seats, with a central aisle, after the manner of standard railroad cars, may be approved. But the "dead open or shut" feature Is not defensible. Instead of being removed al together in summer, the glass, sashes should be dropped down into pockets In the sides of the cars, so that in a minute a car could be trans formed into an open car or a closed car with out being overhauled in the car shop, or could be partly open and partly closed, as the comfort of its passengers might require. There are cars no-- in use in this city of such an adjustable type. When the sashes are drawn up they are just as close and snug as those with Immovable Bashes, and when the sashes are let down they are just as open and airy as those from which the sashes have been altogether removed. The transportation companies desiring to avoid the excuse of a double outfit will do well to con sider whether they do not owe It to the health and comfort of their patrons to use cars which are tnuß capable of being adapted to the weather changes of our capricious climate. The good news that the anthracite peace pact has been signed and operations will be resumed next week will be grateful, except to agitators who find It to their profit to foment differences between employers and employed. A pleasant feature of the Memorial Day cele bration in Boston— though, like many other phases of that celebration, it has no relation to the spirit of the day— ls the workhorse parade. This is promoted by a regularly organized asso ciation, which offers prizes for the animals which score highest In these points: Good working condition; docile and gentle manners. Indicating kind treatment on the part of owners; freedom from sores or galls, and comfortable harnessing. Owners of horses have become Interested In this annual parade, appreciating Its Influence in Improving the treatment of the beasts by their drivers, who in turn aro coming* to value the certificates of the association as good recom mendations, since they show that their pos sessors have earned them by faithful care of the horses In their charge. Perhaps when the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of New York gets through reforming Itself a similar annual competition may be Instituted tn this city. There is need of It. The slot machines have been removed from a part of the subway. Good riddance to them, and may all the rest, and the signboards, too, soon be made to follow. Gathering tulips that hang over the Park ave nue tunnel may now be classed as to danger with plucking the edelweiss from Alpine cliffs, with the Important difference that In the latter Instance there Is no friendly policeman to rescue the gatherer In case of a broken leg. The word obey is omitted from the form of marriage service In the new Presbyterian Book of Worship. The compilers evidently sought to bring: the service into closer conformity with the actual conditions of married life. It begins to look as though the King of Hun gary might presently have a loyal and accept able Prime Minister tn the person of the son of the man who once tried to depose him, and whom he once tried to capture and put to death as a traitor. THE TALK OF THE DAT. An English Mayor tells this story: "A woman, speaking at a meeting in support of women's rights, repeatedly asked her audience. 'Where would men find themselves without women?* "A weak voice from the rear of the hall: •* 'In paradise, mum!' " TO A WANDERER. I wonder if the cloudless, wide Italian sky is blue As are the violets that hide Our dewy earth from view? I wonder if the Alpine snow Is half so fair to see As these white cherry blooms that blow In soft flakes from the tree? I wonder what rare music heard From carved cathedral choir Is sweet as notes of yonder bird Within the budding brier? Ah. wherefore, wherefore tarry, dear? Why wander still so far? The May is glad and gracious here As foreign May times are! The scented blossoms break apart, Ar.d like a flower, too. The love that sweetens all my heart And waits to welcome you. —The Reader. The wise doctor takes his patient's pedigree first. It saves embarrassments, such as, for Instance, that of the physician who said: "Ah. I see," after examining his tongue and feeling his pulse. "Sal low complexion— lmperfect circulation— sedentary occupation— of outdoor exercise. You ought to be in the open air as much as possible. By the way, what might be the nature of your occupa tion V He was a trifle staggered to learn that his patient was a gardener. Another doctor was wait ed upon by a man who confessed to playing in a local brass band. Shortness of breath was the trouble in his case. "Ah. that accounts for It," said the medical man. "That brass band is the very worst thing for you. You'll have to give It up at once. What Instrument do you play?" "The big drum." came the unexpected answer. THE AUTO FACE.
