Now York, Nov. 2i. There at pres ent four and a half times as tnnny inur ders and homicides for each 1,000,000 people in tho United, States as there wero in 1881. With this statement of fact, based upon statistics, S. S. Mc Clure makes a fltaitliflg showing of, tho increase of lawlessness imUiis country, and follows with a stinging criticism of the roign of "criminal oligarchy," of chronic infraction of toe law by many, classes, ot general failu?t)f in tho en forccment of the statutes, to which causes tho condition iq attributed. Comments on the prevaleajce ot Crime and lawlessness taken lmtattandom from representative and serious news papers and from publish statements of Judges and cltlwni, jesCi the slip porting evidence. . 1 In the United States last year there were 8,070 murder suidifsoeaicides in a population of about 80,000;000. - In 1881, when the popuUtrbtiwas51,810, 000, there were only l9f6 crimes of this class. The high record was reach ed in 1808, when there wore 10,054 murders and homicides in a popluation of 70,000,000. In 1899 conditions im proved, but since thea they hae stead ily gruwn woiso. Conditions In Chicago are strikingly set forth by comparisons with tho crim inal records of the two Jeadlng cities of Europe. ' London, with an area of 088 square miles and a population of 0,500, 000, had 24 murders last year. There was no "undiscovered tcrlme," as tho murdorers wore all a'rrcsted except in four'caseH, where UieyV'1 committed suicido. Chicago, with less thn"6notlilrd of tho population and area, covered by tho London or metropolitan polico, had 128 homicides. In 18 cases the murdetcrs wero'kllled at the time of.the crlmo or committed suiuldo; four .other cases wete thoso of officers who, did the kill ing in the performance1 of their duties, leaving 100 cares (or the police to work upon. Out ol that number 34 convio tlons woru secured, while,lB,lP cases no am ts were made, and In "68 cases ar rest old not result in conviction. Only one man was bamzed in Chicago.

INSULTSNANY Russian Sailors Did Not Spare the Women. MORE OP THE CANEA OUTRAGES Man Who Attempted to Defend Ills Wife Beaten lo Insensibility Buildings Stoncel. Cnnea, Island ot Crete, Nov. 25. - -Additional details have becomo known relative to tho outrages committed by tho officers and men of tho Baltic squadron, While the ships wero in this port. Tlio nthorities aro evidently anxious to assuage public feeling by concealing' much of what has been re ported to thnm, hut some of the wotst phases of the brawls have nevertheless become publia property.' It appears thata number ot officers, sodden with drink, undiessed themselves in the principal squato and paraded in front of the residences of several influential citizens. Just at that timo the mana ger of a foreign agency bore, accom panied by his wife, was returning to his home. On seeing tho drunken Russians, ho attempted to evade them by turning Into a sido street, but was stoppod. Several oi the Russians tiien insulted tho woman in the most ob ocetio manner Imaginable. When the husband rushed nt tlio offenders he was solzod by several of (hem and beaten altnott into insensibility. Stories of dlfgtacohi nets of tho Rus sians' reached tho authorities during tho night ot tho outrages. Efforts wero being mado to prevent a iccur renco of tlio brawls, but tlio polico wero entirely disregarded." Tlio broken win dows in eevoial of tho streets bear wit ness to tho work of tho Ruaolan Bailors who hurled stones at everything in sight, causing considerable damage It is positively known that many of the sailors, and, according to current rumors, somo officers also, were left behind by the Baltiu vessols. Some had deserted, somu evidently lost their way, others were too drunk to ho able to report, and quite a number, it is be lieved, took patticular pains to miss tlio timo for sailing. UPHOLDS TRANSPORT SYSTEM. Quartermaster General Says It Is Necessary and Economical. Washington, Nov. 25. General 0. p. ilumphey, quartermaster genera), iu his annual report to the secretary of war, says the enormous amount of work Involved in meeting tho needs of tho ormy can hardly be comprehended by any 0110 not in ilose touch with the service. Continuing, ho says: "Tills work, which would tax tho best ability and energies of a force 61 numerically strong enough to permit of giving it piopor official attention at all points, has been made doubly onerous because of the iiiadequato number of quartermasters now provided by law, nnd tho greatly depleted civilian force In thu quartermaster's office." Geneiul Humphrey strongly recom mends some increase in his clerical force. General Humphrey says there has been oxpcmlVd (lining tho Ibeal year on account of thu army transport sHtem, $3,071,024. The vu'tic of thu work performed by the nnny tiansportH on thu basiH of tho lowest obtainable rates offered for tl.o same service, hu says, was $3,472., 200, or n difference in favor of thu tinny transport servlco of $U8, 230, Continuing, he buvh: "Another year's experiernc has only tended to contlnn and emphasize the, views expresned in my last annual ro port as to tho utility, economy and neccsbity of the army transport system and the wisdom of continuing our pres ent policy in ita operation." Tiie cost of inter-island transporta tion in the Philippines has been $870, 703. or $103,307 lesH than tho same service would cost at commercial rates.

Prosecution Makes a Score In Land Praud Case. Portland, Nov. 23. Tho second day of tho McKinloy-Waro conspiracy enso accomplished littlo, but was rich in oratory, in words, and in objections. Thu plans of tho attornoys wero out lined and tmo witness was examined, but the whole day was taken for the task. At the adjournment 10 docu ments from the Oregon City land .cjllco had been bound and swathed in remon strances from the defenso and submit ted as evidence while Charles B. Moores, former register at tho office, had rccofnlxcd ills own signature'ond that of Judgo William Galloway, tho former receiver, , Hardly had tho staggering second hand of the court clock crossed tho point of 2 when Judge Bellinger en tered tho room with his habitual aimful of books, and the second day of struggle began. Froci the first it was evident that both sides would allow no chance to pass by which advantage could be gained over the opponent. Almost before Mr. Hail had made his opening statement the trouble gan, and it ended only with tho closo ol tho day. John Hall, lot' thu prosecution, out lined his course of attack, and showed what the United States would attempt to prove, wbllt, on tho otiior hand, Judge Thomas O'Day in his reply showed, to a certain oxtent, the hand of tho defense. It will be one of tho contentions of the defenso that there can be no legal indictment, or conviction ot the defend ants at this time, and under tho pres ent proceedings, an the conspiracy is beyond tho palo oi the statute of limi tation. This point was made clear in an objection aised by Judgo M. L. Pipes to the Introduction ol the filing affidavits and records ot proof brought by the prosecution from the land office at Oiegon City and desired to be used as evidence in the esse. These papers were dated in December, 1000, while the indictments 'were filed on March 14, 1004, more than three years after the time ot the alleged consplraoy. Tl)ls contention is answorcd by the prosecution with tho claim that thu papers are entered uot to provo tlio conspiracy directly, but to show tho intent, to lay bare the tiro of fictitious names and to show that there was a plan in embryo, though its consumma tion did not work out for some timo afterwards. This, view was token by tho couit, who overruled tlio objection ot tho defenso and adniltted tho papers '" I J as tcsiiomny. t v TO CURB RAILROADS.

SHIPS WERE SEPARATED IN rOQ He Also Offers to Give Commission His Version or the Dogger 3 Bank Incident. London, Nov. 23. The Copenhagen correspondent of tho Daily Mail wires' a sensational interview which he as serfs was granted him by an officer ot the Russian cruleet Aurora. It corrob orates the theory that the vessels of the' Baltic fleet fired on each other at the Dogger bank, the attacking ship being caught in a hcavV fog and mistaking the hasy forms ot others for Japanese vessels. The Interview begins with a' circumstantial description of tho order of sailing of the two divisions of the Baltic fleet. The Aurora was in the first division and a considerable dls-' lance ahead of the flagship of the sec-' ond. During the oventng a heavy fog settle I over the water and tho first dl- vision's progress was seriously Imped ed. Thus It came about that the flag-' ship ot the second overtook the Aurora;' an 1 suddenly a shot crossed her bow,' followed by a volley which killod the chaplain and wounded several of the crew. Admiral Rojeatvensky's flagship was' a considerable distance ahead at the time, but the commander sent a mes sngo to the admiral, informing him he had boen filed on. By that time the Aurora and several other ships had ap-i preached the Gamecock fleet within a short distance. The lights of the fish ing vssels served as targets and 350 shots wero fired by the Russians. Then the mistake was discovered. The officer insists, according to the Mail's correspondent, that If summonded, he' will repeat this version of the Dogger bank affair. TROOPS RUSHING TO ARTHUR.
