Gelenel Fremont.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia American writes.
Col. Fremont is about to resume his e1-
plorations in California, on his own account
with view to future publication, in con-
tinuance OF the valuable matter which his
industry, enterprise and talent have already
furnished the county. At the present day,
when a connection between the Pacific and
Atlantic is Of such vast importance, and the
resources and character Of the country west
waId are so imperfectly understood, the result
Of the labors Of one so well fitted for the task
as Col. Fremont, will be looked Tor with
more than ordinary interest. 1t may not be
unfortunate for the cause Of science and for
the public welfare, that Col. Fremont has
been separated from the army, though every
one must regret the circumstances under
which il was brought about.

From Chill.

The editors Of the Hapana DiariO had
received their correspondence from ValPa-
raiso to the 18th Of February, by the way Of
the Isthmus of Panama. .
The situation of affairs in Chill was by
no means satisfactory. owing principally to
the hostile conduct and continued exactions
Of Rosas, the Dictator Of the Argentine Re-
public. The Gillian Government had en-
tertained the design of establishing line Of
steamboats, for the purpose Of towing vessels
through the Straits Of Magellan, and thus
avoiding the dangers of Cape Horn, but
Rosas had peremptorily declared that all Pa
TACOMA and Terra del Fuego formed part OF
his dominions, and would be defended as
such from foreign encIoachment. The con-
ceSsions made by Chill to Rosas foe the sake
of preserving peace and avoiding rupture,
had only induced Rosas to be more inSolent
and unreasonable in his demand, which
could only be granted at the loss of national
honor and dignity. This correspondence
represents the future as full of gloom and
trouble to Chill.

bic to realize the present favorable aspect
which public affairs wear, when compared
with the late unhappy situation Of the coun-
try. The President then declares the Con-
snsss assembled, according to the laws of
the Republic, and enters into the history OF
the war, and its cause, which he says, was
the annexytion Of Texas to the United
States. He pays compliment to the Mex.
lean army, though he almost says they dad
not fight with the spirit of people defend
ing their homes. He defends his own con-
duct, since President, and invites scrutiny
irto his public acts. In one place ne states
that il is impossible 10 sustain war with the
United States; but in another paragraph
siys: 4 never did believe, nor do now
believe, that the Republic Of Mexico is in
capable Of waging successful war against
the United States" He, however, contin-
ues by saying that il were best that all the

fress should at once settle the question in
peace. He says that the Americans have

Crime and sgaorance I'm London.
Extract from the Correspondents OF the National
IntelhgenCerl
LONDON, April 9th, 1915

LONDON, April 9th, 1913.
London is a wonderful aggregated mass
OF mankind, and must be supposed TO con-
tain full proportion Of their folly and
wickedness, but when the police returns in
form Us that in the year 1S47, sixty-two
thousand persons were taken into custody
in the metropolis for crimes and offences of
all sorts, We are struck with the melancholy
fact that this is very little less than one out
ofevery thirty-two Of the entire population.
Out Of this number. probably, about one
half were discharged, that being the proper
ton OF the preceding year, whilst only about
five thousand would be committed for trial.
1t is gratifying circumstance that crime
appears TO have been gradually on the de-
crease in London since the establishment OF
the new police. In 1882 the number OF
persons taken into custody was II ,543; in
1896, 63,3S4; in 1S46, 62,S34; and las,
year, 1000, of whom Al 500 were males,
and 10000 females. The charges oil
drunkenness have materially decreased. In
1881 the number was 23,7SS, whilst in
1916 it was only 1853. We wish We
could say that ignorance. the parent o.
crime, was proportionally decreasing. bu
the appalling fact is On record that out o
Al 500 males taken into custody last year,
$4,000 were totally ignorant Of evsn the ru-
diments Of learning, and that only 15G
could read and write we'll OF the 20,5oC
women taken into custody, 5000 could
neither read nor write, and only Ia coulC
read and write well.
