The statistics Of crime in the District. FORM
ing part of the annual report of Maj. Moore,
Superintendent of Police, submitted to the
District Commissioners today, evidence the
efficiency of the police force in the duty for
which it was especially organized, the preven-
ton and suppression of crime. The
order maintained in the city compares
well with that of any other city,
notwithstanding the embarrassments the de-
partment struggles with owing to inadequate
numbers and the peculiar law relating to re-
cruits to the force. Major Moore again urges
the repeal of the 'Army and Navy clause,
which no longer serves the purpose for which
it was intended, when it became a law in 1861, -
the reservation of police appointments for men
who served the Union in the war, but
exists only to restrict the choice
of men for the force to very
limited class not especially well fitted for po-
lice service. When the varied duties required
Of Washington police officers are considered,
there seems to be reason for extending the
fsld of choice as much as possible, so the De-
partment could avail itself of the best men,
who could be induced to wear a badge and
swing baton Maj. Moore's Recommendation
of an increase of the force will have hearty
popular support and his many suggestions
looking to the increased usefulness of his de-
partment, and improvements of various kinds,
the result of another years active experience,
viii command attention.

II appears in the light of Captain Schley's
communication as fully translated from the
cipher that too much credit for readiness to do
justice was given at first to the Gillian author
tiles. II they had shown the same alacrity in
arresting the murderous Chilians as they did in
overhauling the sailors Of the Baltimore in the
affair at Valparaiso the praise of exhibiting
proper spirit on the occasion would have been
deserved But the latest information puts the
Gillian government in the attitude of parti-
cipating, in effect, in a murderous assault upon
the crew Of an American man-of-war, since
wounds inflicted upon our sailors by bayonets
would seem to show that soldiers Of Chilli were
among he leaders Of the mob, and of taking no
steps whatever to detect and punish the muir
derers or to furnish indemnity for the injury.
The United States will not fall into Italy's mis-
take Of making hasty and unreasonable de-
mands, even though her sailor was killed by
the Chilians because he was an American,
while the New Orleans Italians we're
killed because they were criminals, with
no thought Of their nationality. The
course of the republic will be temperate
and well considered. as the conduct of a great
power toward a feeble one should be, but the
distracted condition of Chilli cannot excuse
continued failure to furnish ample redress for
an insult to the American flag, and the slaugh-
ter Of an American merely because he wore the
national naval uniform. The case is one in
which Chill, merely with her own interests in
view, ought to be prompt without thesp squirting Of
ademand from the United States to explain and
redress. The killing of an innocent American
in q foreign land is no light matter under any
circumstances. Here the conditions render
the situation unusually serious. 1t will not be
well for Chill if by her conduct she permit.
the present murder to assume the appearance
Of an unprovoked and unredressed assault
upon the republic itself. She will not care tc
deal with the whole American people, aroused
against her by the blood of their murdered
sailor, which she has sprinkled in their faces.

Whatever the reasons for the transfer of Col.

Whatever the reasons for the transfer OF Col.
Hains,-whether by it he is unreasonably pun
ished for faults not his own, whether in the
regular routine of the movement CT army
officers he gees 10 a place which is more pleas
ant to him personally than Washington has be-
eome,-the people of the District will regret his
departure. And il by any expression OF this
regret they can secure his retention here, this
expression will be promptly forthcoming
Aside from his personal popularity, there are
substantial reasons why Col. Hams occupies an
important place in the regard of the citizens
of the District During the years he has been
q member of the community he has worked
quietly, steadily and faithfully and accom-
plished works on which he might well be con-
tent to rest his record az engi-
neer officer. Under his efficient direction the
reclamation of the Potomac fats, and the I'M
proyement of the harbor, some years ago re-
garded by many as only a dream, have become
almost accomplished facts. greatly to the
benefit Of the capital Other commissions
given him have been executed with
a promptness and faithfulness that won
the admiration Of tho people. The free
bride crossing the Potomac a. George
town and the Pennsylvania avenue bridge,
across the Anacostia, are monuments to his
skill as an engineer and his conscientiousness
as public officer, for in the cases Of both
constructions the money appropriated was laid
out to such good advantage as to call for
praise even among those who, as rule, prefer
criticising to commencing public officer. He
thoroughly appreciated the dangerous nuisance
which in the present Long Bridge threatens
the community, and would probably have sue
ceeded in abating it as the next of his great
works His labors for the District were made
especially effective by the fact that he had
gained to an unusual degree the deserved con-
fdence of Congress. In his removal Washing
ton will suffer a serious loss.

From the Review of Reviews

From the Review ofReviews.1
Hermann Fol, one of the most emf
nent of living embryo!ogist, while stay
ing at Nice-the Mecca of honeymoon
ing-had his attention attracted TO the
resemblances between young married
couples. The popular notion that
married people lend by resembling
each other' was shared by Fol, but his
trained vision detected among crowds
OF young married couples characteris-
tics that led him to suppose contrary
proposition to be nearer the truth
they begin by resembling each other.
10 put the matter to scientific test be
engaged in series of observations and
researches on the photographs of young
and old married couples, the results Of
which we publish in the Revenue Sci
entifque. The following table gives
his statistical conclusions:
Resemblances Non-resemb blances
Young ...ls2. about 6666 g. about 1888 I98
Old......... IS. about Il 10 Is. about $3.50 IS
The vividly large percentage of physi-
cal similarities between young married
couples is emphasized by the calcula-
ton that in marriages made at random
by chance-the number of resem-
blances would not amount to more than
two in a hundred. Among the non-re-
semblances were included some very
curious cases, where man and wife,
though quite dissimilar in every other
respect, yet exhibited in common "cer.
tain traits constituting an ugliness
more or less ridiculous" Fol infers
from this an argument in favor of the
idea that candidates for marriage do
not fear the particular forms of ugli-
ness to which their mirror accustoms
them.
After warning against hasty general
ization from results so comparatively
meagre, Fol invites other scientists to
follow up the subject, and verify or
modify the following tentative conclu-
sions be draws:
I. In the immense majority of mar
riages of ''inclination," the contracting
parties are attracted ty similarities and
not by dissimilarities.
2. The Inblances between aged |
married couples is not a fact acquired |
by conjugal life.

Youngsters of the neighborhood had

"Some one or udder mus be dyin',

"Wy howdy, Dave" they all en-

"Tolluble WE'LL" responded David.
"Good evenin' to you, Mr.. Gelthart."
"The same to you, Mr.. Hartman.
