Annas Wilse, a civil engineer OF Minneapolis

Police Statistics sf New Yerk.

One is apt to be alarmed by seeing
in the police report for 1887 that there
were 81, 176 arrests in this city during
the year. But he would be reassufed
by looking at the classification Of The
cases and noticing that nearly &C, ,O00 Of
that number were arrested for snch
offenses as disorderly conduct, drunk
enness, and violation Of the city ordi-
nances. The Germans, in prOportion
to their numbers, show mp by ~ thal
best in the report, and, IN fActs tIsey
had less than half their quota Of oilend-l
ers, a. compared with the other cle-
ments of our population. It Appeaxs
that the police had good deal 81 buai-
ness with professional men, Tor they -.
rested 1O6 lawyers, eighty doctors,
eighty-three editors and reporters, and
ten clergymen. IT is men, not women,
who are your criminals,' Elixabeth
Ca9ly Stanton said in recent speech;
and this report shows that three timos
more men than women were arrested
during the year, or. TO be exAct, 81 ,856
men and 1924 women. Nes0 York

Tram Robbers,

A special from Cheyenne, Who, says
an attempt was made the other morning by
masked men to rob the Union Pacific east
bound overland passenger train at Dana
Station. near Rollins. Three masked men
compelled the engineer to throw mp his
hands. Brakeman Frank Tillmau grap-
pied with one of the robbers. The express
messenger came to the rescue and the rob
bers were put to flight after thirty or forty
shots had been exchanged. Fireman Nash
and Brakeman 1illman we're ser ously
wounded. the former shot in the hip and

Is necessary for the protection of the seal
fisheries. ii. A. Glidden. agent Of the
treasury department at Seal Islands from
May. 1882, to July, 1885, was called. He
said the condition of the people compared
favorably with that of the laborers of this
country. The moral habits of the people
were good. There was no breach of the
peace to speak of, and no necessity for
civil officers. His observations We're that
laborers there we're paid better than any
other laborers in the world. From an al
most barbarous state under the Russian
government the islanders had been brought
up to state of semi mi-civilization under the
influence of the American government.
His opinion was that If the fisheries We're
thrown open to competition the seals
would become extinct i'll five years. The
policy of leasing the privilege of taking
seals was the very best policy that could
be practiced by the government.

War on Myscrcenationtsts.

War is still being waged against the
Miscegenationists in Louisiana. At Free
town the white people are generally op-
posed to acts of violence, except where
armed opposition is looked for. The
people of Broussardville have organized
100 men for protection. and with 100 from
Scott's plantation are armed with VIM
chesters. Both companies declare that
they will not inaugurate violence, but will
protect their homes from reprisal and
spoliation. The anti -miscegenenation-
lists are organized into oath bound leagues
all over the state, and cases have occurred
already where white men have been as
sassinated by mysterious men, after dis
obeying repeated warnings. At New
Iberia and Freetown things have assumed
their normal condition again. and no fur
ther trouble is anticipated from any quar-
ter. The coroner and juiy. upon visiting
the scene of the conflict, learned that ten
negroes were killed

A Novel Swindling Scheme.

A novel swindling scheme is reported.
In several countieg in New York and Penn
sylvania circulars have been received by
farmers like this:

estate OF w. Vanderbilt were left recently to
be given to the poor, regardless of race or color

The circular is printed and the names
and amounts are filed out in ink. 1t is
not thought that MIR. Church has realized
much, for at the Long Island City post
office it was said that no letters had been
delivered to him. None of the letters
awaiting his call are registered. 1t is
thought that the swindling circular has
also been sent through western states.

In the case of the naval cadets recently
tried by court martial at Annapolis for
hazing, and sentenced to dismissal, the
president commuted the sentences ID con-
finement for thirty days and deprivation Of
half the annual leave. The president says.
The offense of which the accused are con-
vlcted is an unmanly and cowardly joke,
which for all reasons deserves the severest
condemnation. 1t has been exceedingly
difficult for me TO consider the applica.
tions for clemency which have beer ad-
dressed to me by friends of the pssrtias
under convection, but am led to hope
that II leniency il shown In these cases, tbs
punishment which the offenders will still
suffer, though less than dismissal, will
suffice Tor their correction, and as a warn
ing to fellow cadets. desire it to be dis
tinctly understood that the clemency
granted in these cases is not to be con-
sidered as precedent for future executive
interference, and that the severest SEN
tence recommended upon future correc-
tlons will be executed"
