It is difficult, if not actually Impossible, to determine just where lies the blame for the frightful disaster at Cleveland Saturday night, when an electric street car ran through an open draw of a bridge into the river below, causing the death of upwards of a score of people. Such disasters seem to be so unnecessary and so easily avoided that the severest punishment should be awarded to those who may be adjudged re- sponsible. The like is not a possibility here in Washington because, fortunately, there re no draw-bridges crossed by street-car Mines except that over the Eastern branch which has not been used in late years, and the semi-occasional Anacostia horse cars that cross this bridge have never yet been known to attain a speed that would make them dangerous. In the Cleveland case the fault Mes of course with either the crew of the street-car or that of the bridge. The latter declare that all the proper precau- tions were taken when the draw was swung and the motorman admits that he saw the safety sates ahead of the car, but too late to reverse the current. What at present is inexplicable is the fact that the “Mghts of the car were burning and the motor was operating when the car reached the gates, indicating that the current had not yet been cut off by the swinging of the draw. The testimony is confused at pres- ent and this apparent mystery may be solved when the excitement has abated. But erough is now plain to- indicate very clearly that the bridge was lacking in pro- tective devices and that the car was being run very recklessly. If the red lights indi- cating danger were not shown the blame rests heavily upon the bridge crew, while if, as they assert, the lights were hotsted, the motorman and conductor were plainly at fault for permitting the car to approach the gates. But whatever the facts con- cerning the accident itself, it is clearly true that the gates across the bridge that are intended to prevent disasters are lo- cated too close to the draw. They should be placed at the very entrance to the bridge structure. Had this been the case in Cleve- Jand the accident would’ doubtless have been prevented, for the collision between the final gate and the car would then havo occurred in season to give the motorman a chance to shut off the current and apply the brakes before the open draw was reached. The function of the gate is not to resist a sharp onslaught by a heavy car, but to serve as a warning. In the present case the device falled lamentably. The disaster shows that the valuation placed upon human life in large cities is small. ‘When fatal accidents occur there 1s a great spasm of shocked sensibilities, an outpour- ing of sympathy and promises of remedial reforms. Yet the accidents keep happening with a frequency which indicates that the cities do not take genuine warning from ‘each cther’s experiences. ——_r+e—___ The Passing of Slow Coaches. It is gratifying to note that the managers of the Eckington and Belt street railway lines are taking practical steps toward ful- filling the promises to substitute mechan- ical motors for horses. This is a sign of cheerful if somewhat tardy acceptance of the inevitable fate of both the horse-car and the overhead trolley, and it gives evi- dence of a speedy banishment of the last slow car from the main lines of the city. ‘The proposed compressed air motor, it seems, has not yet had any extended prac- tical test by continued use on an operating railway in any large American city, so it may be that once again Washington will be the scene of an experimental installa- tion so far as the United States is con- cerned that will be watched with close in- terest by street-car engineers and owners in all parts of this country. The practical demonstration here of the feasibility of the underground electric system has convinced the managers of the great Metropolitan fraction Company in New York that the sub-trolley, as it has come to be called, is an ultimately economical method of street- car propulsion, and they are now planning to introduce it on several of their lines, in- cluding that on Broadway, which is now operated by cable. ——__ 0 = ___ The Czar’s Plan. Suggestions are thrown out in high Euro- pean official circles that the Czar does not contemplate with serenity the proposition to dismember Turkey. A letter is in private circulation stating that the Czar belleves that in the event of England’s persistence in such a plan an alliance will have to be formed of the three powers that intervened in the Japanese question, Russia, France and Germany. This extraordinary triple alliance, if formed, would be the most pow- erful combination that could possibly be devised and would unquestionably rule in the settlement of all questions pertaining to continental affairs. It would be a strange spectacle indeed. France and Ger- many united for a common purpose would be like a mingling of oll and water, yet it 4s evident from the hints given that the Czar hopes to accomplish the organization of this paradoxical eyndicate. This letter, if genuine, serves to give color to the be- Nef that the Czar is intimately concerned in the present disturbances and this impres- sion is deepened by an interview printed in a New York paper yesterday with Oscar Straus, the ex-minister to Turkey, who as- serts that the entire trouble is traceable to Russian intrigue and to suggestions from St. Petersburg to the Sultan. ———_¢ + ____ If the Pullman company cannot see its way clear to reducing the price of berths, perhaps it can compromise by taking away ome of the porter’s perquisites. —_—- President Cleveland Is, possibly, disposed to regard the late election not as a demo- cratic defeat, but as a mugwump victory. —_ Lord Dunraven is very much like the small boy who thinks the entire community is Interested in his sore toe. ——_+ « = ___ The Fruits of Monopoly. ‘The trouble in Philadelphia over the aboli- tion of free transfers Is bringing to light a mumber of points about street railway con- @olldation that are edifying to residents in such cities as Washington, where the con- $tant efforts of the public-spirited citizens land the newspapers have resulted in avert- {ng such an unpleasant state of affairs as ow exists In the City of Brotherly Love. For example, {t is stated that there are in the city no less than eighteen hundred in- ferscctions of rapid-transit street-car lines. E shows the extent to which the streets have been given up to the various transpor- Ration companies that were originally in- &ended as competing transportation agents, ut that were finally absorbed by the great corporation that eagerly sought a foothold 4n this city without success. Eighteen hun- red rapid-transit crossings where cars meet at frequent intervals throughout the THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1895—TWELVE PAGES. Gay! This of itself constitutes an enormous danger to the public. There is evidence, too, that the consolidation took from the People their last chance for a redress of grievances except through the state legis- lature, a process that smacks of the fabled Plan of locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen. The first principle of the trolley enterprise is occupation. That accomplished, the public can protest and howl and object as long as it likes, but until the dissatisfaction takes the form of @ political revolution, the trust continues in peace and profit to reap the tremendoua harvest of an uncontested privilege. The only safe way is to prevent the construc- tion of useless lines in the first place, to require the installation on those that are admitted of the best devices for propulsion, and finally to keep the trunk lines supply- ing the city from being combined under a single management. These lessons have been learned by the people of Philadelphia too late. They were fortunately taught to those of Washington in season. + «+ —__ The Administration’s Opportunity. In no other way could the present ad- ministration make itself more popular with the people of this country than by the pros- ecution of a vigorous foreign policy such cs that which has been commenced in the sending of Secretary Olney’s note to Am- bassador Bayard in regard to the Venezue- lan boundary question. The Secretary will err If he permits Great Britain to postpone the settlement of this case on the plea that it is too busily concerned in the solution of the Turkish question, which is just at pres- ent far more interesting to the queen’s ministers than the contention of the United States. Lord Salisbury’s reply to the Sec- retary’s note of inquiry on this subject is long overdue, and it will be a mistake if the British government is permitted to ne- glect this important question and to obtain the advantage in Veneguela that a delay would grant. The popularity of a policy cf rugged Americanism was shown by the re- ception which the American people gave to Secretary Webster's famous reply to the Hulseman letter relative to the interven- tion of this country tn behalf of the Hun- garian patriots. Almost without excep-ton the people of the United States applauded the great secretary for his enunciation of American doctrines, and_the opportunity for such a demonstration of patriotism is present today in the Cuban problem that now confronts the administration and in the Venezuelan case. ——____«+«______ Colonel Cockerill finds fault with the King of Korea because he is pigeon-toed and a brunette. In the presence of such frank- ness, perhaps it is just as well for the Queen’s peace of mind that she was not spared for criticism. ——_ - + e- = —____ The new French University declares its intention to thoroughly purify parliament and the press.

McKnew’s “Daily Letter,” Monday, Nov. 18, 1895. ABOUT COATS AND CAPES. This is the season of the year when ‘job” lots, “manufacturers’ clear- ances” and unsuccessful retailers’ re- fuse stocks of coats and capes are thrown on the market. We never touch them. Never have and never will. In the first place, our manufac- turers never make big lots, as all of their garments are made to the spe- cial order of the firms they sell—our- selves in Washington and one lead- ing house in all the big cities. As we stated last Friday, all we ask is that you inspect this stock and have a couple of coats sent home on ap- proval for. comparison with those sold by others. We will abide your judgment. Ladies who were unable to get waited upon Saturday are re- minded that a: much better oppor- tunity is offered any other day of the week, and especially during the morning hours. Our New York manufacturers are sending us pick- ings of new mid-winter styles of Coats and Capes every day, and the fact that you did not find just what you wanted last week is no reason why it is not here today. $1.25 GLOVES, 69c.
