NBWYORK HXRltoR IMPROVEMENTS.
Americans do not re-iish being tedd ihey nra
?low and behind the times. They prefer t.i
reckon themselves Ibe most enterprising ami
progressive people in Ihe world. Yet the lat?
ter flattering unction is sometimes undeserved,
and the former Indi, intent is found to be a
true bill, lor proof of this it is needful tn
look no further than to fhe harbor of New
York. Every schoolboy for several genera?
tions has been taught that lt ls one of tim
largest, safest, most beautiful nnd most com?
modious iii the world. No doubt tbat ls true.
Hut ft is equally true that it has long been
one of the mool neglected and abused. Thou?
sands of ions of Btreel sweepings nave la-en
dumped into H. until il has in parts become
dangerously shallow. Piers and bulkheads
have been a wonder of tlie world for ram?
shackle wretchedness, comparable only with
the narrowness and rile paving of the adja?
cent streets. Thal In spite of these nnd other
like handicaps New York has attained and
maintained lier commercial greatness is a line
tribute to her good qualities. Hut what might
she not have iii.me bad she Improved ber
natural advantages i<> tin- full, as Hamburg and
Liverpool have done, and had lhe era of better
iiiiiiirs. now happily begun, had hs commence?
ment anil culmination long ago?
Another feature of the ease, often, but not
too often, touched upon, was again brought to
mimi by tin- trenchant and suggestive letter
lii-iii Mr. (Houghton, lhe veteran agitator for
H.-iilem Hirer Improvements, which was print?
ed in The Tribune a few- days ago. Complaint
was made in it e>f ile slowness with which
works ol' inestimable public importance are rar
rled forward. Seventy years ago De Wilt Clin?
ton planned to make the Harlem lilver nnd
Kills a link iu the great waterway from the
lakes io ide Atlantic. Ile- saw the advan?
tages of a abort e-iit from the Huelseui River
io iln- Seiiinel. and tin- little.ss of Port Morris
to be ii great deep-Water harbor. lb- saw, lem.
that such a route- would om- dav l.e necessary,
i.i relieve thc congestion ol' trafllc in the lower
rivers .-iiiil r.ay. and tbat ii would ultimately
I..- iii the rery centre e.f the metropolis, as it
i? to-day. Hil' he died with his vast designs
unfinished, and unfinished Ihey still remain.
Til.- Harlem River Canal has dragged nt a
snail's pace fur years, and is si ill far from com?
pletion, while thc equally Important Harlem
Kills Canal has scarcely been begun. Yet
while these works dave bigged, others else?
where have hastened io triumphant completion.
Th.- Sue-/. Manchester and Kiel canals, and
Hu- Honenc and Moimi Cenla tunnels, are men?
tioned b.v Mr. Cloughton, by way of contrast
unfavorable to Xew-York enterprise; and be
might have added tiutiy more Instances.
Hut would these works pay? That ls the
question asked by the doubter and the sceptic.
Tin- answer may be made with confidence:
Yea, a thouaand tliues, Men said the Suez
ramil would never pay; Imt its stock ls now
worth live and a half limes its par value und
its reeelpta are over $16,000,000 a year, nml
steadily Increasing. The Manchester Canal
w.is laughed io scorn, but its success i> now
established and assured beyond all cavil. The
Kiel Cattai, mell salel. Would be' lillie used, i-N
. .-i.i in tillie of war: but in the flrsl year of its
existence it was ira versed by 16.83-1 merchant
vessels, ..I" l.r.o.*"..'.''--" tons. Or, to take an exam?
ple nearer home. Hie Erle lanai was ridiculed
and condemned unsparingly at the'linn- of iis
construction. aa lit only "to bury iis mad au?
thor in." li contd ne'Ve-r be- constructed, ami if
constructed would never be used, and if used
would never pay, Yet for more than half a
century it has been une uf the- greatest sources
of ile- commercial prosperity ol' ibis suite and
city, of whieh fact the people ate so well as?
sured ihat they lia ve recently voted to spe-ml
millions of dollars in enlarging and improving
it. Surely these facts should be ample warrant
for proceeding promptly to tin- completion of
Clinton's Imperial scheme ind for creating, in
tlc- very centre eif ihe- Greater Xew-York, an?
other harbor, directly e- mnected with the vast
system e.f inland waterways, anel capable of gir
i ing easy entrance and commodious hospitality io
the mercantile navies eif the world. To do so
' would be a small task, compared willi the
works don.- elsewhere tor smaller cities and
for smaller interests. Not to do so would In?
to incur the reproach either of bick of enter
1 j.rise or of lack eif faith in our own commer?
cial future.
UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.
i Several divorce cases have been in tbe courts
of ibis Slate recently iu which tin- action of
; courts In other Slates bas been in review, and
now word comes from Chicago ol' a contest
tin- decision of which Involves hundreds of
people- whe? ha ve sought to evade ihe laws nu?
de r whleh they dwelt and rearrange Ihelr marl
, lal relations with the help eif tlie courts ed ok?
lahoma. These Incidents have called attention
? tei tiie ridiculous ami disgraceful complications
! of marriage and divorce in Hie United Stales.
In one place divorce i* not granted at all, in
another it may be obtained only on the most
. serious grounds by an Innocent party, in yet
another it is to be hail for the mere asking.
in consequence tin- marriage relation in this
country nally means nothing to those who
wish it tei mean mu bing. Moreover, lt bas
been possible, except so far as guanleel against
by such decisions as that of Justice Hussell ihe
other day, for one person to compel n spouse
to submit to laws of some far off part of the
country, ami to bring into contempt the laws of
his own State. Here in New York Hie statute
and the courts are openly eletied. People who
are forbidden lo many take a torry te) Jersey
'I'ity and collie back in half an hour to make
a laughing stink e.f New*-York judge*. Even
if the courts do intervene to protect parties
from decrees granted in States where they
have not acquired a residence or agreed wllh
| Ihelr partners io submit their case, the great?
est gvll will not be cured. Frauds may be pre
vented, but nothing will be done to uphohl the
? fixity of the marriage tlc until we have iini
loim laws throughout the country.
How tin se arc to bc reached ls something of
a problem. The regulation in the different
States, which vary so much, gi-nernlly gre
based on the sense of Hie several communities.
In one moral considerations prevail, in an?
other a desire lo ali rad persons repelled by
the statutes eif more puritanic regions. Bach
is likely lo In.ld firmly lo ils own way. Per?
haps conference, with a deeper sense of the
liieil of an agreement than has yet been mani
fe.sted. might accomplish Hie end. A CouatltU
tioiial amendment giving Congress power In Hie '?
premises would solve thc problem, but the same j
feeling whleh hohls one Slate back from in- i
Denting the divorce laws of another State ls
l-kely to Htnnd In Um way of surrender lo ?'on
green of ko geateualy guarded n prerogative.
The quest lon has also been raised concerning \
he present powers of Congress to deni with
he subject, and there are those w'io hold that
l might safely assume such jsiwer as liebig In
he same category with its right to regulate
nierstate commerce ami provide uniform bank
uptey laws. This question cnn be autnorita
hely solved only by the courts, nml it nlghl
i.issibly be worth while for Congress lo tesl
ls authority by assuming to regulate marriage
nd divorce, and making a test case of the cor*
cciness of the iissiiniptieiii. A wise National
nw would probably be better than even uni
orin Stale laws, though either would ls* ii
rent gain. How inn li the gain would be?
ninbi depend on Hie conservative character of
he laws agreed upon. Hut even lax laws.
rhlch really tilted our conditions, would make
or pul.H.- morality more- than do tin- present
ivi-rse statutes whieh ran be evaded With
?i?-li perfect ease.
ROADMAKISO HY CONVICTS.
Tlie question of th.- employment e.f tin- con
?ie'is in Hie Stale prisons in the making and
epa liing of mails In attracting conalderaM ? ai
potion at present, particularly because, under
be operation Of il section of the revised Con?
tinuion which went into effect at the' begin
ting of this year. Hie opportunities for supply
ng work to the Inmates of the prisons have
leen seriously restricted. Ky common consent.
(Heness is the worst possible tiling for these
icople. They must be kept at Work If they
re not to become sullen and morose, and In?
plied to make an end of themselves, as has ni
e'.idy happened in two or three cases. rub?
le sentiment in the State doe's not stand be
iind any plan for keeping the prisoners Idle,
lbeit the Constitution was ratlfleQ with this
irovislon iu it. lt was felt, however, that lt
light be amended, and if Hie Legislature of
806 ami that of ism; had ailed favorably on
octa a proposed amendment it could have been
ubmltted to the people inst November, ami
ci'oine effective on January 1. at the same time
s Hie- obnoxious part of tin- Constitution. As
natters now are. no amendment evin lie maele
o lake effect before the beginning of 1900, and
o for lliree years to come the problem of timi?
ng work fm- Hie convicts will be n pressing
ni'.
In support of Hie plan oi using them on the
innis some strong arguments are presented in
nother column by men wno have made a spe
ial study of prison questions. In their minds
here is no grave objection to such employment
f the prisoners, although tiny recognize the
ore-e of the- sell! illleUtal objee-tieill arising from
li*- telling of repulsion likely to be experienced
iy some people at the sight of men in striped
lothe-s at work lu public places, under the BU
icrvislnn of armed guard*. Thia objection in
In- opinion of others is noi well grounded,
towever, and should not be allowed to stand
ii Hie way ot the opportunity in w presented to
he Slate of securing many miles of good high
rays at a low cost. Tiie work woulei Brat lie
indertakeii, naturally, in tin- immediate viein
ty of thc prisons, liv.-n when carried on at
distance' eil" several miles the ronvlcta could
lally return to ihelr regular quarters. ai
treater distances convict camps would liecoiue
lecessary, bm tiny could be s,. conducted rs
o bi' neither a milssnc** nor a danger to Hie
oromnnltles In n'hicli thej inighl be situated.
rhe success of the plan would require careful
rganlxatlon. while thc maintenance of pris
mrs in ramps, wiih th.- n.s^ary guards,
voiiid Kc iiioi'e costly than their maintenance
n tin- pris, ns, a large annmut of work woulei
ie- secured for ;? moderate outlay. Thc employ
nen* of th" men out of-doora would he pxcellenl
s respells iii..ir own health, and such employ
iniit could easily li.mt Inned during more than
irilf ol' each year.
The bill proponed in the hist Legislature for
in1 construction e.f roods by convicts on a
mall seal.- bad merit. Tlie friends of Ibe
food-roads movement hope lhal that bill, ur
un- providing ten- the employment ot' convicts
n Hus way more extensively, will meei willi
nvor ai the preseni session. The prejudice
Igalnst .convict labor in sight of Hie ptiblie- is
mt based, they claim, on reason, and now, when
lie nee-d of providing trot's for tin- prisoners
s so great. N the time f..r making an expert
mut Hint will elo good In two distinct ways.
THE CONDUCT ol' FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
There is nt Hrst sight little relation between
he arbitration treaty with Creal Britain ami
he Constitutional questions raised concerning
he power io recognise Cuban Independence.
Seve-rtheb'ss. aitch relation exists. The mau?
ler in which the treaty has been negotiated
ind is finally to be- disposed of indicates clearly
mill Hie usefulness and the limitations of Ex
?cut I ve power in foreign affairs. The- treaty
annot go into effect without the assent of Con?
gress, or of erne House thereof. That is nn
pii-sthumbie. Equally unquestionable is it that
t never could have been negotiated, never
?ould have come Into existence and be'e-n pre
tented io tin- Senate for its determination, arith
mt the action e?f tin- Executive through diplo?
matic channels. Mr. Bayard, lt ls true, has cut
io tlgnre iu the- ease. Hut Mr. (liney and Slr
lillian Pauncefote have. To them ls io bi' given
?liief creelit for what has I.n accomplished.
'oiigress may or may not approve their work,
mt it could not have done that work itself.
li has the veto power, but not tlie initiative.
Nobody questions Hu- ultimate control of Con?
gress over the foreign relations of the coun?
try, lt exercises lt mit only through the ex?
treme resort te) Hu- war-declaring power spe
-iti?uliv panted te> it by ihe Constitution, and
through Hu- confirmatory functions of the Sen
Ite, likewise prescribed, but also through its
lUtbority ove-r thc National Treasury. The
Executive may recognize all tin- foreign gov*
H-nments ll pleases, ami receive their Ulnls
ters; but it cannot send a single diplomatic rep?
resentative to tin-in without the consent of Con
iress expressed through tiie appropriation of
finnis for Hie purpose. Congress has, too, the
power lo enact tariffs and other laws regulat
Ing .commercial Intercourse and immigration,
ind lo do other things directly affecting the
foreign relations of tin- .Government. All that
s Indisputable, and lt offers ample assurance
ihat the tim' balance of power arranged by the
l'oust Hut ion between thc co-ordinate branches
if the Oovernmenl will be maintained.
Nevertheless, as the present example Indi
?ates, it is not only expedient but neecssarv
ihat the Executive should take the initiative iu
foreign pulley, ami. Indeed, should control it
lei tin- utmost permissible extent, especially in
ill direct negotiations with other governments.
For International negotiations an- bargains, and
every bargain bas two sides, and no bargain
?nu be made unless both shies arc represented
lu the making of lt. in Congress, when a ques?
tion of domestic policy or politics ls up, both
shies are represented and heard. But such ls
not the case when Congress is considering a
question of foreign policy. Then only one side
ls heard. Foreign governments have no repre
tentatives in Congress, and cannot have. They
ian deal only with the Bxocuttve, to which
their representatives Hre sent. For that rea?
son the condin-t of foreign affairs must lu- left
to the Executive. If Congress does Hot ap?
prove Hie bargains Hie Kxeculive makes it call
veto them, by refusing to ratify them or by
withholding appropriations, as lt did very prop?
erly In tin- Behring Sen rase. Hut In Hie very
nature of the matter Congress cannot Itself
make the bargains.
lt ls presumed, of course, thst the Executive
will always pay due regard to the expressed
sentiments of Congress, espeelally when those
Bentlments are known to be those of the vast
majority of the people of the Nation ttta
?ian to be presumed that Congress wm nppre

The output of pig iron. IS0.720 tons weekly

Anglo-Armenian delegation entered wiih Mr.
Stevenson, Hu- president, at the head, and fol
lowed hy Hn- treaaurer and other officials The
Rev. Mr. Isaghlan, Armenian Tirlest of Man.-hea
t-i. was in a black robe: Dr Beet, ss rhe repre?

W. E. Cockehott, formerly chaplain "f th- Rrlt
ish Bmbaaay at Constantinople, was In the- lack
ground with Dr Catantarienta, the head of the
Armenian .community in England. The r"-*m

many happy returns e.f the day to Mrs Glad?

the last word was paid ill eyes were mrn-'d
toward Mr. Oladstone, whei sMnd leaning em
his cane, with his cape overcoat over his shnil
ibu-s. There was a short Interval of hesitation
be-fore the clear, low tunes of the mel 1 us

it was evidently an extemporaneous speedy
deliberately phrased and delivered iu measured
tun.-s. as though Mr Hladstone were merely
thinking aloud; yat lt was Impressive In Its
simplicity, and almost solemn In its dosing
passages. He began with a graceful expression
Of thanks on the part of Mrs (Ila.1st.me and
himself, and referred t<* the unanimity of feel?
ing in Kngland on behalf of the Armenian
cause. A hearty expression of applause brought
a flush to his pale face, but his yuh e only seemed
to deepen as he warned his auditors that they
must not conceal from th-mpelves the fa.-t that
for the moment the cause e.f humanity and
Justle-e had failed. There hail been no failure
in stirring the heart of the Kngllsh people at
one man. Hut. though Kngland was a great
moral force In lhe world, still the direction
nf the world's affairs had not been In the hands
of her people, and lt had been beyond 'heir
power tu do more than to give utterance to
convictions profoundly entertained. SHH, -al?
though he had long passed the time of life for
sanguine dn-ams. there remained ir. him "an
Inextinguishable hope"
Music which hael always Inspired the orator
on platform or in Parliament greeted him as he
said these words Then- was an mit hurst of
applause, and, with kindling eye ami a voice
as solemn et a prophet's, he added: "\ea, I
would almost venture to aa\ frmn the extremi?
ties ..f apparent defeat I draw the- suggestion

times permitted to the powers of evil in the
affairs of thia world io bs ever effaced from
the record of the past, and nut only front me
record of the past but from a record of the
paat which will be fruitful in lhe future"
Then, with ateaelilv deepening voice, he referred
to the weight of disgrace resting M the six
Powera of Europe as on- too gnat to be berne.
The human conscience and the human under?
standing would revolt against lt
"lt is unite true." he said, that down t-> the
present moment the career of th.n Sultan whees
I van call nothlig but the OfOnteOl Assassin
haa b?en a triumphant caner. Hut all those
triumphs e.f wickedness and li.l.iultv are doomed
to be short-lived, and the COUUSOlS of Providence
