The ‘steamship collision is the old story of a meeting in a fog, Detween two vessels plying In the same ‘track. There ts afamiliar favor, also, about the ‘account of the rapidity with which the worse-in- Jured sip went dows, in spite of her water-tight ‘Dulkheads and other provisions for safety. In one Fespect, however, the disaster was unique. Ac- cording to the accounts which have thus far been made public, the disproportion be- tween the number of the Geiser’s crew and ‘of her passengers rescued, In favor of the crew, ‘Was not due to the disgraceful conduct of the Sailors and stewards. On the contrary, the reck- Jess haste with which the passengers threw them- selves Into the sea and got aboard the Iife-raft was. unquestionably the cause of the drowning of so many of them The raft was sucked Into the ‘Vortex caused by the sinking of the Geiser, and, hen it rose to the surface again, had no one on ‘The only morals to be drawn from the story the wreck, at the present stage of our knowl- edge of its incidents, are the wisdom of choos ‘mg & more southerly route for transatian- Ue steamers, regardiess of the additional tume required for passage, and the absolute necessity for laying out the paths of east-bound ‘and west-bound vessels so far apart that the dan- er of collision will be reduced to a minimum if Rot altogether abolished. Tue sea is wide enough for ail the craft that now sail upon it, and for all that will be launched for generations to come. Ocean travelers want speed and comfort, but they want a fair assurance of safety, wo; and the Steamship line which sets the last-named requisite ‘Gret in the order of virtues to be cultivated, will ever suffer for lack of the best paying patronage. ‘Tae colision of traius on the Lilinols Central Railroad yesterday was unattended by any results more serious tuan some bad Wounds and bruises, Dut tae escape was almost a miracie. In thiscase, ‘according to the press dispatcnes, an accident to ‘the machinery of one locomotive, which prevented her engineer from controlling her movements weil, and the dogged insistance on his right of way by ‘the engineer of the other train, combined to bring about thecrash. The perils of travel which these ‘two accidents emphasize are not enough to deter anyoae from going to sea or taking a train to-mor- QR ‘ow if business or a pleasure outing calls bim. The ‘Wonder is not taat so many fatal casualties occur 4m this age of steam and iron, but that they are so few 1a proportion to the amount of traveling done. a Believers in astrology will be interested to know that August tis year is a particularly interesting month in the schemes of both Kaphael and ZadkielL Heavy storms are to occur in England ¢ And Scotland on the 22d. At the end of the month there will be public troubies in England. The New York money market 1s to be upset, producing @panic, and the French and Italians are to be sufferers somewhere or somenow. Epidemic dis- eases are to scourge Russia and Turkey. The Spectal motto for today 1s “Court and ask favors in afternoon and evening,” and for tomerrow, “Doubtful, be careful” The only @rawback to implicit faith in these oracles Mes in the fact that the countries bordering on the ‘Mediterranean were to have been badly shaken by earthquake last Sunday, and the rest of Europe ‘Wouic have trembied on several days before this. Earthquakes are things which cannot escape Rotice easily, and It 1s safe to say that, tf this part Of the horoscope had been fairly cast, we should have heard from it. It bas remained for Dr. Kauffman, a German chemist, to solve finally the problem of soudity- ing petroleum. He works it up into cakes like Soap, which, though not easily kindled, burn smoothly, and leave a residual ash of only two Percent This will be good news to the people of ‘Western cities, where fears are already entertained Of the exhaustion of the gas wells Petroleum in some form—gas, spray, oll, or solid—is believed by Many manufacturers to be the fuel of the future OF at least Ull we know a great deal more than We do now about electricity. Dr. Kauffman's discovery, if it can be practically applied, will do jay with some of the perils and much of the ex- pense of transportation which have hitherto stood im the way of a more general use of petroleum, and increase the markets of both the United States and Russia for the products of their ofl Reid. a ‘The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad announced, ‘with the accompaniment of applause from a cred lows public, that part of the money obtained in The latest syndicate deal was to be used in com- pleting the work of double-tracking the Metropoll- ‘tan Branch. Since that announcement the sale of other belongings of the road has further increased Ms funds Yet the promised double track is not com- Pleted, annoying delays like that noted in today’s ‘Wasuington Grove correspondence occur, and the ‘UUme Is rapidly approaching whea some disastrous collision will be due as a culmination of the series Of accidents which constitute the current record of the single-track piece of road. In this event the company will be called to account for loss of life ‘and for broken limbs, as well as for broken prom- Jgea, end it will doubtless be then discovered that 48 would have been cheaper even to lay the double ‘track. $e —__ What ts the meaning of the vote of the New ‘York democratic state committee to hold the state convention at Buffalo? This isthe question which 4 agitating the minds of the wise men of that party and of some persons, wise and unwise, who are outside of i, One observer declares that Misa victory for the Hill faction, and another that ft 1s. Cleveland sweep. It must be said, in favor of the latter view, that Governor Hili’s Rewspaper mouthpiece had strongly urged the calling of the convention eight days eariier than he date st, and that a number of nis close friends, in journalism and elsewhere, had ex- Pressed their preference for Saratoga as a place of meeting. But the most reifable opinion is prob- ably the one whieh holds that local considerations had more to do with the choice of a site than any ‘Special question of advantage for either faction, = ___ ‘The campaign liar is making as fair headway ‘With bis work this summer as can be expected in Wew of the uncommonly hot weather. He has alreacy prepared to have the republican party ‘withdraw General Harrison when the canvass hag advanced a little further, and substitute Mr. Biaine at the head of the ticket. This idea ema ates from the same inventive creature who was Golng to substitute Grant for Hayes in 1876 and Yor Garfield in 1880, and Tilden for Hancock in 1880 and for Cleveland in 1884.
