Indignant Borough of the Bronx men, individually, in Pairs, and in organizations, have been preparing for a ‘week, at least, for to-morrow’s storming of the City Hall. Their cause fs that of greatly needed new transit ‘ facilities in thelr borough. Incidentally, it Is the cause ofthe New York and Port Chester Railway In opposition to the Port Chester proposition there is the franchise application of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railroad Company, favorably passed upon ‘by the Board of Hstimate. Mount Vernon's Aldermen way, officially, that this is a defunct corporation; trom Yarlons sources comes the charge thet {t is a mere mame revived to uelp the New York, New Haven and Hartford Ra!lroad beat off a threatened competition In| Jocal psssenger trafic. An unsatisfactory feature of tho|.« Westchester plans is that the line promised for tm- mediate building stops far short of the Harlem River, It is in connection with this franchise conflict that the story 1s told of a Port Chester promoter being advised) by a New York Alderman to “see the captain.” There! have been many plain utterances making a similar point.| Apparently “the captain” has not been seen. Evidently ft behooves tae Aldermen to listen very attentively to- morrow and to be fortified with reasons At for publica- tion if they continue of a mind to disappoint the Bronx delegations. | @ Trinwph Over Great Obatactes.—Helen Keilor: | graduation trom Radcliffe College with honors is not more Important as an achievement tn tho face of seeni- ingly insuperable obstacles than as a shaming example to » the innumerable students weak of purpose or infirm ot will.

ELEVENTH-HOUR PRECAUTIONS. A novel feature distinguishing yesterday from other | outing Sundays was the stricter regulation of the steam-} boat excursion traffic. At all the important piers a force of inspectors was at work, vigilantly watching to prevent overcrowding, observing the conduct of crews, moting the condition of the life-saving appliances, and “generally subjecting the boats to an examination, hasty and cursory !n meny particulars, but commendably pre- .eautionary, to assure the safety of passengers as far as ‘was superficially possible.

SEE,” said the Cigar Store Man, “that Presi- dent Roosevelt has appointed Paul Morton, a Western railroad man, Secretary of the Navy.” “Another glad hand to the wild and woolly West,” replied the Man Higher Up. “President Roose- velt wants Illinois and Nebraska represented in the Cabinet. Mr. Morton is trom both States, and he also cuts a lot of {ce in Kansas, which State his railroad, the Atchison, Topeku and Santa Fe, gridirons, “The lowa representative in the Cabinet is Leslie M.

He may know nothing about the navy, vut he ts certainly a lalapaloosa when it comes to navigating a private car. “Up to four years ago this month President Roose- velt didn't know Mr. Morton very well. The President was then Governor of New York, and he went out to Oklahoma City to attend the reunion of the Rough Riders on the Fourth of July. ym Chicago to Kansas City the President rode as the guest of Mr. Morton, and from Kansas City to Okla- homa City he rode in Mr. Morton's private car over the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and allied roads. From Oklahoma City he rode back to St. Joe, Mo., in Mr. Morton's private car, and from St. Joe to Chicago he rode in a special train of private cars and sleepers fur- nished by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway. While in Oklahoma City the then Governor was the guest of Col. Zach Mulhall, of Oklahoma, who is now under $25,000 bail in St. Louis for shooting three men in a gun fight on the Fair Grounds. Later on, when the President made his tour to the Pacific coast and back, Mr. Morton was advance agent and general manager over most of the route.” “Can Mr. Morton swing any votes?” asked the Cigar Store Man. “He certainly can,’ answered the Man Higher Up, “but it 1s hard to tell which way.

Many cities and districts in the Venetian province have this week been ravaged by a cyclone ag disastrous as it was certainly brief. Padua, Verona, Treviso and Udine, with the country districts lying around, were all swept by the storm. First came a fearful downpour of rain, or, in several Cases, of hall; and this was followed by a whirlwind which, though only lasting about hulf an hour, left some bulldings wrecked, others unroofed, and crops, telegraph lines, &c., prostrate and ruined. Besides the large number of families rendere@ homeless, many people were injured and about ten killed—al in thirty minutes. . The “Fudge” Idiotorial.
