Of international importance are the great Hudson- Fulton celebrations which will take place ai New York towards the end of this month, and continue for a week. All the Great Powers, and many of the lesser States will be represented by warships and diplomatists. Arrangements for the fetes, as will be seen from the appended letter from our New York correspondent, are being carried out on a scale distinctly American as regards comprehen siveness. If Methuselah were still alive; if he had visited New York at its inception, when it was known as New Amsterdam, and revisited it today, even hi's ripe experience of the transience of human development would not suffioe to restrain his astonish ment. Three centuries, without doubt, are a long period, but the growth of New York within that time has been wholly disproportionate. The tiny settlement of the Dutch pioneers has expanded into one of the great capitals of the world, the hub (with all due deference to Boston) of American social, commercial, and artistic life; ships of all nations enter its harbour in enormous numbers, and from it lines of communication branch out into every quarter of the world. Its population certainly includes more wealthy inhabitants than any other known community. Modern progress is nowhere so marked in every phase of life. With extraordinary swiftness its tentacles reach out across the North River, across the East River, and far into the in terior of New York and New Jersey States, so that today greater New York ranks in size and importance second only to London. Truly the citizen of Gotham can exclaim in the fulness of his heart: “Of no mean city am I!” (Daily Record Correspondent.) New York, September 11. New York is now fully prepared for the Hudson- Fulton Tercentenary Fetes and it may well be ques tioned whether any city has ever before made such preparations as are here in evidence. New York has to provide for the requirements, not only of its own great population, but of thousands upon thousands of strangers. The city, the harbour, and the majestic Hudson river will be the scene and framework of the displays. Every evening of the festival week there will be illuminations such as the utmost effort of the imagination fails to re alise. The city and its immediate surroundings will be bathed in a sea of the most brilliant light. The fairylike effects familiar to that enchanted and en chanting spot, Coney Island, will be, temporarily at least, eclipsed. All the suspension bridges over the broad w r aters of the East River and the highest buildings of the city between them and the North River will be pillars and chains and festoons of dazzling splendour. Aeronautic displays are looked forward to with keen interest. Ascents will be made where they can be seen from the bridges, the river banks, and many parts of the city, viz. from Governor’s Island. There are to be aeroplane flights oyer the “sky-scrapers,” and aeroplane and balloon races to Albany. It will be odd if some of the fliers are not tempted by the artificial light to give exhibitions of their powers bv night as well as by day. But what of the parades and processions? The parade of the United States army and contingents of foreign troops, the naval review on the Hudson, numerically and internationally the greatest ever seen in American waters; the Carneval procession with triumphal cars, organised by the foreign co lonies ; the parade of 400,000 children of the city schools; all these will be indescribably imposing —weather permitting. Then the feasting! To speak of one entertainment alone: there is' to be a grand Citizens’ Banquet at the Waldorf Astoria, the great est festivity of the kind that has ever taken place under an American roof.

In the House of Commons on Monday, the 30th day of the Finance Bill debate, the clause providing for an increase of the income tax to one shilling and twopence in the pound was passed unanimously, Mr. Balfour expressing his regret that the increase had proved necessary, but admitting that it was so, seeing that the Government could not be induced to broaden the basis of taxation and to find other less oppres sive sources of revenue. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer consented to an abatement of the tax on income derived from landed property, in considera tion of the greatly enhanced cost of improvements and repairs; and said he estimated for a loss of £500,000 by that abatement. The Liberals think that the concession of the abatement will make the passing of the BilL by the House of Lords more probable. ' - ! President Taft, speaking on Mqnday at Des Moines, Iowa, said the Legislature should empower the Inter- State Traffic Commission, not only to fix. railway rates, but to revise unfair classifications of -freight. : TV Commission should be authorised'to revise re gulations subjecting consignors to unjust charges, and to compel lines working in connection to ar range through routes and fix rates for through freight. The President further recommended the repeal of the paragraph of the Anti-Trust law prohibiting tariff > agreements between railroad companies ;»such agree ments should, however, be subject to approval by the Commission. M,r; Taft then anuounced that he would advocate the establishment of anV.iritet-St'ate Traffic Court for the hearing of appeals against rates fixed by the Commission; and concluded by proposing that the Legislature should make it illegal for one inter-State railway company^ to own the shares of a competing line, hud should compel comjpanies now holding such shares to sell them within a given period of time. In future shares and debentures should only be issued with the permission of the Inter-State Traffic Commission. latest advices from the United States show that, , in some parts of the country at least, determined efforts are in progress to remodel the law in ac cordance with modern requirements. Under the re gime of Governor Hughes, the State of New York, w hich until quite recently was regarded as the strong hold of the grafter, the law-dodger, and similar “undesirable citizens,” bids fair to become one of the most law-abiding States of the Union. Writing under date of September 10, our New York correspondent says: “The New York State Legislature in the last session approved and ac cepted a whole series of amendments and new para graphs to the Criminal Laws, pi any of which aie characterised by extreme rigour. Special attention has been paid to criminal practices which of late have been more than usually conspicuous. Among these malpractices is included the abduction of chil dren and other persons from w'ealthy circles, for the purpose of abstracting blackmail in huge sums. Cine matograph and mutoscope shows are also badly hit by the new laws. For some years past these places of entertainment have been exercising a most detri mental influence on the morality of the young, and consequently new laws to meet the danger have be come urgent. These shows have sprung up all over the State like mushrooms. Another very common practice nowadays is that of ‘joy-riding,’ to w r hieh many chauffeurs are addicted. Without knowledge or sanction of their employers they take the cars from the garage and invite male and female friends to.accompany them and witness their efficiency in automobiling. As the time is limited, it follows that these ‘joy-rides’ are made at high speed, with cor responding danger to the public. Very frequently huge, high-powered cars are to be seen dashing along crow-ded thoroughfares at a rate which renders ac cidents almost inevitable. The drivers seem to be afflicted with speed mania, and it has been found ne cessary to invest the arm of the law with additional power to cope with these disturbers of the peace. “The most drastic amendments have now come into force. One of them increases the penalty for abduction from 25 to 50 years’ imprisonment. The maximum penalty for blackmail is increased to 15 years’ imprisonment, and the minimum to five years. The use of automobiles without the sanction of the owners is placed in the same category as larceny. Three of the new amendments concern the stage. The first prohibits children under 16 years of age from visiting living-picture shows unless accompanied bv elders. The second strictly forbids performances of any kina which verge on the immoral; while the third declares the publication of improper pictures or periodicals to be a criminal offence. Quite natur ally. . interested parties severely criticise the new' measures, but they meet with whole-hearted approval from the majority of the peole in this State.” A despatch from San Francisco throws new light on the comparatively insignificant knowledge of the planet Mars which modern science has been able to gain. The observations which a party of astronomers recently took on the summit of Mount Whitney show that there is no water vapour in any appreciable quantity in the atmosphere of Mars. This is con trary to the findings of Professor Percival Lowell, at Flagstaff, Arizona, who announced two .years ago the discovery of large quantities of water vapour on Mars. Professor Campbell, director of the Lick Observatory, says the spectra of both Mars and the moon were photographed at the same altitude above the horizon and under similar conditions of the eaith’s atmosphere. The vapour bands in the Mar tian spectra were found no stronger than those in the lunar, and ljence Professor Campbell concludes that the quantity of Water vapour is as small in Mars as in. the moon. Whether life cart exist on the planet under these conditions he leaves biologists to decide. Professor Campbell declares that Pro fessor I.oWell arid the European astronomers who have reported the existence of water vapottr have been misled by that in the earth’s atmosphere, since they took observations from the sea level or points near it.
