Crime oit the Increase lu United States. New York, Nov. 24. There are at present four and a half times as many murders and homicides for each 1,000,- 000 people in the United States as there were in 1881. With this statement of fact, baaed upon statistics, S. S. Mc Cluie makea a startling showing of the increase of lawlessness in this country, end follows with a stinging criticism of the reigo of "criminal oligarchy," of chronic infraction of the law by many classes, of general failure in the en forcement of the statutes, to which causes the condition is attributed. Comments on the prevalence of crime and lawlessness taken almost at random from representative and serious news papers and from published statements of judges and citizens form the support ing evidence, In the United states last year thee were 8976 murders and homicides in R population of about 80,000,000. In 1881 when the population was 51,316, 000, there wee onlr 1266 crimes of this c'ads. The high record was reached in 1S96, when'tbcre were 10,654 murders and homicides in a population of 70, 000 000. In 1890 conditions improved, but since then they have Bteadily gro n w orfie. Conditions in Chicago are btiikti;gly pet forth by comparisons with the crim inal records of the two leading cities of Europe. London, with an area of CS8 pqnare miles and a population of 6,500, 000. had 24 murders last year. Therft was. no "undiscovered crime," as the murderers nere nil arrested except in four CHHes, where they committed suicide. Chicago, with less than one-third of the population and area covered by the London or metropolitan police, had 128 homicides. In 18 cases the murderers m were killed at the time of the crime or committed suicide; four other cases were those of officers who did the kill ing in the performance of their duties, leaving 106 case9 for the police to work upon. Out of that number 34 convic tions were secured, while in 19 cases no am at was made, and in 53 cases ar rests did Dot result in conviction. Only one man was hanged in Chicago. In Paris only 15 murders or attempted murders were committed in the same period. More than eight times its many murders in Chicago as in Paris, six times as many as in London. The loss of life through cnme is made more prominent wheu compared with fatalities in war and on railroads. In three years the homicides in the United States numbered 31,395. The British loss in the Boer war was 22,000. In the same period there were killtd on railroad 21,847. Labor troubles, the burning of negroes, lawlessness in Colorado, riots and murders in New Yck are referred to in detail. Distinguished jurists and educators ar qoted as sayirg that the increast? in l.iwlesaness end4n?ers the future of the Nation. the Miner from Harlem, Mont., says: A Urge prairie fire has been ragif'g for several dnys some 40 miles north of this place and is still burning fiercely. Thousands of acres of grazing lands have been swept over and thousands of dol'ars' worth of property has been de stroyed. George Petrie, a. prominent sheepman, is reported to haye lost all of his hay, hi? residence and all of his buildings, while it is feared that other sheepmen have seen all of their build. in;?n go up in smoke in the past few days. It is said that the fire started over the Canadian line Monday afternoon, and during the terrific windstorms of Tues day and Wednesday has moved with startling rapidity over into the Ameri can possessions, from which all kinds of antelope, deer and "other wild ani mals have fled for their lives in all di rections. The fire is plunly visible to night, and the sheepmen in its path will all be heavy losers, for their winter range is destroyed, together with all of their hay for winter feeding, and other buildings. Thousands of sheep have had their winter range in the fireswept portion and the owners of these will have to resort to drastic methods to secure other ranges. Mr, Petrie, one of the heaviest losers by the fire, has been in th vicinity of Great Falls for the past few days buy ing sheep, and it is understood that be 's now on the wav here with them. Large numbers of men hive been fighting the flames ever since they started, but have not been equal to the task. There is talk of lynching the man who started the fire if he can be found. WHEAT AltOl NI THE IIOICN. Cargo 171 ay He Sei'l From Portland to IV'ew York. Gazette and Oregouian $2. Rumor has it that the American ship Shenandoah has been chartered to carry a cargo of flour and wheat from Portland to New York. All the shippers have heard the report, but while pro fessing to know nothing of a definite nature, appear to believe that it is true, says the Oregon Daily Journal. The Shenandoah is lyirg at San Fran cisco and could be got here in short order. She is of more than 3000 tons net register and has an actual carrying capacity cf more than 5000 tons. If she hfs been engaged for the purpose named rt is for the purpose of assisting the railroad companies in getting the heavy flour and wheat shipments east. There has been talk for seveia' months of dispatching cargoes around the horn, but the difficulty standing m the way of the venture, it was cited was the lack of American tonnage on the Pacific coast. While suitable American tonnage is said to be scarce in these waters, there are a number of vessels ot the descrip tion desired at San Frsnoisco, and it is generally believed that a movement is ou foot to place them in the flour and grain trade between the Pacific coast ports and the AtlanMc ci ies. It is declared that such a course is the only solution of the problem to de liver the orders that hava already been plaoed for Pacific cmst wheat and flour. The statement is made that the ra'l " road companies are unable to handle all the traffic, and being convinced of tin'8 fact many of the local flour dealers have not attempted to make any further sales to eastern buyers. 1'Iiamplon Sold, New York, Nov. 24.
