STORY IN DETAIL.
How the omcial News Was Received at
washinpton

How the Official News Was Received at
Washington.
Washington, May 7.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that everybody for several
days past has been in momentary ex-
pectation of cable advices from Com
modore Dewey, the town was thrown
into the widest excitement at break
fast time by the issue of extra papers
announcing the arrival of the McCul-
Tough at Hongkong with dispatches for
the government from Commodore
Dewey.
The publication of newspaper dis
patches telling of terrible mortality
among the Spanish and the escape of
the American forces, men and ships,
from serious injury added to the ex-
element, and to the intense satisfac-
ticn with which the long expected news
was received.
There was an instant rush of news
papermen to the navy department to
secure further information from official
sources, and perhaps dismayed by the
number and impetuosity of the news
paper contingent. the officials of the
navigation bureau, where cipher dis
patches are transcribed and translated,
promptly closed and locked their doors
against invasion.
One of the officers of the bureau had
been on duty every moment of the "a
hours for several weeks past, waiting
to receive cablegrams of Importance.
A similar state of affairs has prevail
ed at the state department. where one
of the assistant secretaries and the
chief clerk have divided up the watches
of the nights, sleeping on temporary
cots set up in the ante-room

1t is proposed to change the
name Protestant Episcopal Church
to American Catholic Church. AS
the Episcopal creed expresses faith
in the Holy Catholic Church there
can be no objection to the change,
but why American? What has a
church to do with the political di-
visions of mankind? The church
is universal. And the American
people resent any interference by
the church in human affairs.
Hence the recent attempt of the
Pope to preserve the peace between
this country aud Spain proved abb
ortive.
When the troops of the United
States go to war this time, each
man will wear around his neck a
tag OF aluminium bearing the num-
Der of his regiment, the letter of
his company and the number as
signed the soldier ON the roster.
These will be used for identified
ton in case of death or injury.

The question as to what constitutes
murder, although 1t has been debated
for years, seems as far from settlement
as 1t ever was. There Is large num-
Der Of persons who contend that 1t Is
not so much the severity of punishment
as Its certainty that Is the most power
full restraint of crime of all kinds. and
of murder no less than those of lesser
magnitude. There are many argu-
ments. as well as facts, that seem to
demonstrate the correctness of that
contention. and one of the most signfi-
cant Is the experience of New South
Wales In dealing with the crime of
homicide. In 1894. and for many years
previous thereto, there was In the col
ony one murder for every 100000 popu-
lation, but the punishment was about
as lax as 1t IL in this country. A new
plan was tried, and as result the num-
Der of murders has been reduced to one
In each 100000 of population. In the
last four years there were only thirteen
murders committed in the colony. and
for these crimes eight persons We're
executed and five were sentenced to a
life Imprisonment. The method adopt
ed was to permit the shortest possible
time to elapse between the commission
of the crime and the carrying out of the
finding of the trial court. The average
time from arrest to conviction was
about sixty five days and from convic-
ton to execution forty-hve days. In
every case of an authenticated murder
| in the colony in the last four years the
| guilty persons have either been execut-
| ed or sent to prison for life. The show
ing of the United States ia In contrast
| with that Of New South Wales. In 1894
there were 7,70O murders committed in
this country, or about one for every
500 of population. or those guilty OF
these crimes there were liz legal execu.
| tions. but most Of them were after long
delays. The year following there We're
about 5000 murders and 113 execution
| The number of murders In this country
has steadily increased. but executions
and prison sentences do not show any
renewed zeal of civil officers in the eff
fort to bring these criminals to justice
1t Is not infrequenuy the case that men
charged with murder remain in jail
month after month awaiting trial AZ
ter they have been tried and found
guilty comes the long delay pending q
new trial. and year or two may elapse
before the just punishment is inflicted
even II the criminal does not entirely
escape. 1t would be we'll If the prompt
ness that is exhibited with murderers
In New South Wales could be incorpor
ated In our own criminal practice.
