CRIME DECREASING.
Statistics From reports of State
institutions.

institutions.
Secretary Hart is preparing valuable
statistics upon crime, as we'll as making
out his estimate of appropriations re-
euired from the legislature about to
meet, and the expenses of the state
correctional and charitable institutions
for the three months ending Oct. 81 are
also given. The appropriations made
by the legislature for the current fiscal
year were: For buildings and repairs.
$4,000: current expenses, $519, 6S2.21:
total, SILL. 602.21. Expenditure for the
three months were: Buildings. S104,-
020.6l; current expenses, $50, 404.90;
total, s25s, s25.51. There was :,
surplus of current funds after
fiscal year amounting to S92, 216, and the
appropriation for these three months
was S129, 900. 55, making total at the
disposal of the institution of 1922, 1l6.7o.
Thus after the payment of the expenses
there is a surplus of s67,712 on the first
three months. The comparative cost
per inmate for the year ending Oct. 81,
1855. was as follows: st. Peter hospital.
Sf76.SS; Rochester hospital, S169.70;
deaf asylum, S290.96; blind asylum,
S396.55; feeble minded, S22S.96;
dependent children. $225.57: re-
form school, sl77.46; state
prison, sl13.43; average, sl80.7s.
The population of the institutions has
increased by 267, the largest increase
being exhibited by the hospitals for in
sane, which alone is 1872. Each of the
different institutions stand: Hospitals
for insane, LIB for 1888: school for
deaf, 172; school for blind. AZ; school
for Predetermined, 1S1; school for de-
pendent children, So; reform school.

and encouraging sign. Divided into

HOT WATER AND LIGHT.
Matters Discussed by the Com.
mittee on Streets,

A meeting of the council committee
on streets was held last evening, Com
mitteemen Yoerg, Hamm, Blom, Gehan,
Sanborn, Cullen and Sullivan beng in
attendance. A petition was received
from r. S. Knapp, to whom a contract
was recently awarded for the grading
of Lombard and Ridgewood avenues,
requesting that the vote by which
the contract was awarded he recon-
sidered, aud the matter again referred
to the board of public WORKS. The con-
tract was awarded at $500, which was
$1,000 below the next lowest bidder.
The petitioner alleged an error of $1,000
through estimating OH the grade of the
wrong streets. The petition was
granted.
A communication was received from
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railway, requesting that they be
allowed to defer the construction of the
Burr street bridge over their tracks
until next spring. The petition was
considered reasonable one and the
communication ordered placed on file.
The st. Paul Sanitation company
We're given thirty days in which to per-
feet arrangements with the railroad
company to enable them to fulfil their
contract for the transportation of gar
bage. Action will be commenced under
the contract if its conditions are not
complied with at the expiration of that
time.
1t was recommended that an ordinance
be passed granting Frank Hatton, Perry
H. Shuman, Horace b. Ransom and
Leayitt K. Merrill the privilege of con-
structng pipe lines and plant for the
conveyance Of superheated water and
steam to public and private buildings
III that part of the city lying west of
Klttson street, south of Seventh street,
east of Chestnut street and north of the
Mississippi river.
A proposition by the st. Paul Gas and
Electric Light company to light the city
with electricity at tifty-seven cents per
light was voted down, it being shown
that the expense of such illumination
would be nearly double that of gas.

A CENTURY HENCE.
Universally of, the English Lam
guage in Civilized Communities.

Adjt.; Gen. Seeley was in philosoph-
zeal mood yesterday. Whether it was
the logical sequence of Thanksgiving
day, turkey and general conviyialitY.
or owing to his undoubted idiomatlc
learning, the fact remains that the adju-
tant general was disposed to talk glow
ingyl On the growing universally of the
English language. Il was reading the
other day." he remarked, 'sa learned
treatise on this very question, and the
author came to the conclusion that the
close of another century would find the
English language spoken by majority
of the civilized Inhabitants of the globe.
There is little reason to doubt this, es-
pecially when the growth Of population
of this continent is taken into account.
1t is estimated that if the population of
North America increases during the
progress of another century at the same
ratio of the present century the inhabi-
tantS will number 100,000,000, and by
that increase look forward to the ulti-
mate universally of the English Ian
guage."

RAILRoAn COMMISSIONERS.
Scores of Applicants Want Mr..
AuStin'S Place.

Speculation is rife as to the compost
ton Of the railroad commission under
Goy,-Elect Merriam S regime.
The terms of the present commission
erS expires with this year, and the new
commissioners will take office under the
law enacted by the Legislature of 1887.
This law provides against the terms Of
all the members of the commission eX-
piring at one and the same time, and
thus in making his appointments Gov.
Merriam will have to seat commits
sioner for two, feur and six
wears. Few people can conjec-
ture the color of the forthcOm-
ing commission, but there is every
reason to believe that George Becker
will be retained. The law provides
that the minority vote in the state
should be represented, and there is
every reason that Mr.. Becker should
continue to be the representative OF
democratic feeling. He is one of the
public men in the state, and thor
oughly conversant with railroad mat
tiers. For faVorS vouchSafed the Hon.
,8ohn l.. Gibbs is understood to be prac-
tically certain t0Tetain his position, and
this leaves but one yacancy-that is,
presuming it is Mr.. Merriam's intention
10 displace eX-Gov. Austin, who is
probably the most bull-headed man on
fhe. commission. For this prospective
vacancy there are scores of applicants,
in fact, as Commissioner Austin yester-
day laughingly remarked, 1.-THE eager
ness with. which the office is sought
after leads me TO think that it is of cabl-
Oet rank. ~

A Motor Engine Clears the Frac

A MOtOF EuSiue ClCdis TIC 1FaCA.
Through the carelesSness Of a switch
ing crew smashup resulted Thursday
evening in the yards of the Burlington
company below Dayton's Bluff. A
train of boy-cars had been partially
pulled out from a sidetrack ON to the
main track, where they were left stand
ing. The $50 suburban motor came
tearing down the line under a
full head of steam and crashed
into the obstruction. Few passengers
were on board and no one was seriously
hurt, although the fireman, engineer
and conductor were badly bruised and
scratched. Several cars were entirely
demolished and the rest were piled up
Oh the Burlington and Milwaukee
tracks. The Milwaukee tracks were
cleared by daylight, but it was late yes
terday before trains on the Burlington
could enter the city.
