STAR. WASHINGTOY, THURSDAY ... THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent citeulation in W times Inrger than that im the city, The burning of the steamer Corcoran this Morning shows that in the provision for the speedy extinction of fires in the city, the ehip- Ping on the river was neglected. If there had been afire boat tho flames would have been sor put out. The fuct that there is shipping St the wharves amounting to more than a million dollars in value, besides offices and ether property imperiled, clearly shows the Recessity for means of extinguishing fires ‘among the vessels in the harbor. This want should be supplied as soon as Congress con- venes. The experience of today shows that when a steamer is burning there is no wey of stopping a general conflagration along the wharves except by cutting her off from com- munication with the shore and letting her drift where hose from the fire engines cannot reach the fire. A valuable boat was sacrificed and another “demaged for lack of an ordinary ap- Pliance which would have cost only a few thou- sand dollars. The death of the boy was primarily charge- able to this lack of « fire boat, but also to the panicky feeling which often seizes a crowd in © moment of danger. ee The advantages secured by Russia in the Black sea are apparently to be permitted without protest by the other powers Meantime the situation is more acute, due to a number of causes, none sufficient to bear the whole stress of responsi- bility. Yesterday's celebration of the twenty- first anniversary of Sedan shows a feeling in Germany that the contest of 1870 is to be gone over, anda feeling in France which gives a basis for the Geriaan belief alluded to. The emperors of Austria and Germany are to meet at the Austrian military maneuvers and “con- eolidate” the alliance. ‘The French army maneuvers occur at about the same time. The war feeling was never higher in France. It would take very little to precipitate a bloody conflict. Iz Russia is not prepared on account of famine in some of her provinces, it must be said on the other side that Italy's financial con- dition has not been worse since the new monarchy was founded. It may happen, as it has chanced several times before in late vears, that just because the situation is so darkly overclouded, no flood of war will descend. —-—— oe The papal succession is much talked about at Rome and in Catholic circles generally. The name of a distinguished American prelate, dinal Gibbons, is prominent in the gossip on the subject. If chosen he would be one of the ablest of the popes since Gregory VII in the eleventh century established the papal power, or Innocert III in the thirteenth gave it new and stronger foundations. The choice of an American or an English pope would be a tre- mendous departure in the line of modern thought from the traditions and policy of the Roman church, and it is not yet clear that the Italian cardinals, who usually control the se- lection, are prepared to make it unless it should be considered necessary in order to ebeckmate the I n government. The whole question of the election of a pope will turn on the relatious between the Vatican and the Quir- inal. — It now seems as if a relief party for the Peary polar expedition were an absolute necessity if the little party of seven persons, including the leader's devoted wife, are ever to see civilization again. And it is not so clear that if one be sent it will find the explorers. Among the shortcomings as mentioned by arctic explorers are these: A trip next spring of four hundred miles north, over probably an inaccessible region, all food used taken with them, after a long and terrible winter spent five hundred miles north of any civilized community; a return over the danger- ous ice-cap with a woman to bear the strain, no allowance having been made for vast crev- asses on the inland ice. There is some sharp criticism expected of the Philadelpiia Academy of Nataral Sciences, under whose patronage the expedition was fitted out. ——e The Certral American pot is boiling again. While Nicaragun nurses her anger at home revolutionists, she watches the frontiers of Honduras, and both republics are “massing” troops for immediate use if necesscry. Mean- time Salvudor and Guatemala are snarling at each other, as usual, and the Iate unpleas- tness may be resumed atany moment. The trouble, it is said, is the federation scheme, which is opposed by most of the republics, but _ favored by Guatemala and Honduras. Bread is ha’penny a loaf more than it was and fears are entertained in Great Britain of something akin to famine. Not only has the | outlook been bad for some time, but the last rains in Scotland and Ireland have destroyed many crops and the harvest in the latter country is at @ standstill This bas been a Diack year for the old world, and there seems ne silver lining to the cloud. ———— According to the census of 1390 the southern states are showing the greatest rate of growth im the Union. The increase of real estate and personal property there from 1580 to 1890 was 44.3, whereas it was only 43.2 for the rest of the country. Kailroads are not included. The addition of transportation lines would swell out the item of northern prosperity. These figares show that the south is awake. It must be recollected that the war closed in 1865, and ‘that this is Anno Doraini 1591. —— te While the Missouri alliance defeated Mr. Hall, the grest opponent of the subtreasury scheme, by a large majority, and thus seemed to put subtreasury stock away up “in the pic- tures, the formal adoption or rejection of the plan itself was referred to the subordinate alli- ances. This action means delay, but if the overthrow of Hall bas any significance it is probable that the suballiances will adopt the eabtreasnry scheme, horns and hoof. Some successful experiments in the river dis- ‘tricts of the south indicate that rice is the best crop to cultivate, because it does not suffer from inundation like corn, cotton and other crops that have been tried. ‘This may lead toa large extension of the rice industry in future. Itisa hopeful prospect, im view of the over- Prodaction of cotton. —_———_~+s—_____ : Mayor Grant is indignant over the manner in whieh the search in the Park place ruins hhas been conducted.
