VICTIMS BURIED.
The Funerals Attended by Immense
Crowds Of People.
The Dead Were Buried ut tho Expense

Injured Have Since Dled-Over Ono
Hundred Arrests Made.

BARCELONA, June l0.-The funerals
OF the victims killed by the bomb ex.
explosion Sunday Mt the church OF
Santa Maria took place Tuesday and
were attended by an immense crowd,
the members of which gave free vent
to expressions of Indignation against
the authors of the outrage and anarch-
lists in general.
The dead were buried at the expense
of the city and the religious ceremo-
MES were attended by the municipal
authorities. The day was partially OBJ
served as one of mourning, houses and
street lamps being draped and the thea
tiers closed.
Several of the persons who were in
jured have since died and others are
moribund.
Altogether about one hundred ar
rests have been made of men who are
suspected of having been concerned in
the outrage. Searches made of the
residences of the prisoners have re-
suited in the seizure of papers showing
their connection with the anarchists,
and quantity of arms, gunpowder and
dynamite.
Another dynamite cartridge was ex-
ploded Tuesday outside of dwelling
near San Sebastian, near which city an
attempt was made Sunday to blow up
the house of priest. The explosion
Tuesday did much damage.

No Faulty.

Blgur~s Never Lse. But Thsir B.sn No.
No Faulty.
Figures may not lie, but on the bob
OF statistics may sometimes be verY
faulty. Commenting ON this Limitation
OF the statistician's science, Carroll u
Wright points out that, in the MATES
Of crime, the number of sentences in 1
given state may vary with the legisla-
ton. Laws are constantly being passed.
Mr.. Wright says, to raise moral delfn-
quencies to the grade of positive crimes.
and then, after q time, such laws may
be repealed, with the result Of vitiatinQ
conclusions obtained by comparing
one year with another. Thu u illus.
trated by the record of liquor legisla.
ton in connection with crimes. Pro-
hibitory Legislation seems uniformly to
increase drunkenness, for the reason,
in large part, that It increases, If en-,
forced, the number of convictions. k
new class of statistics Is called into exs
istence- It Is TO be noted also that, al
a rule, the authorities of large cities
are opposed to prohibitary laws, deem
ing licenses more rational or expedient-
They are accordingly often led to en-
force prohibitory laws with extreme
rigor in order TO make them odlous and
secure their repeal. With license law
they are lenient in making arrests OF
drunken persons. Thus 1t comes about
that statistics seem to prove prohibition
extremely prolific in crime, while IL
censes promote virtue. In any casa,
errors enter the record by reason Of
want of uniformity In methods in vari-
GUS parts of n given state. This want
of uniformity at particular date is ex-
ceeded by the variations between diff
ferent dates. In recent years statistics
are better kept than formerly, with tho
effect of appearing TO show an increase
Of crime. But appearances are deceptive
in this case, Mr.. Wright thinks. In 1880
the number Of convicts in penitentiarics
was 1888, or 700 to the million of popu-
lation. In 1890 the number of convicts
was 1928, or 722 TO the million of popu-
lation.
