About Men arrested
During the Dewey Celebration.

The records of the five alleged pickpock-
cts, held in the District jail to await the
action of the grand jury on charges of lar
ceny from the person, have been investi-
gated by detectives of the Philadelphia
bureau. Detective Weldon, who assisted in
making the arrests, received a communica-
tion yesterday, giving the result of the re-
search According to the letter all the men
are well known to the police of Philadel-
phia and New York, and have the reputa-
ton of being clever pickpockets.
James Williams, alias James Moke, one
of them, was at one time captain in the
Salvation Army in New York, being a
special protege of Mrs. Ballington Booth.
He wore the uniform OF the army for a
considerable length of time, but finally re-
sumed his old mode of life. He was con-
victed in New York for larceny from the
person.
Kid Hawley alias William Wallace, a
third prisoner, was one of a gang arrested
at the Allentown, Pa, fair a few weeks
ago. Louis Lebers, alias Frank Briar, and
well-known under the name of Little
Lew" has been repeatedly arrested on
charges of picking pockets in New York
He was arrested there once in 1888, twice
in 1895, and has served terms in the peni-
tentiaries of Massachusetts, and New York
George Hilton, alias George Howard,
alias Teddy Kingston. is also well known
to the police OF New York and Philadel-
phia. He was arrested here in 1881 by De-
tective Horne and fined SO in the Criminal
Court. lie was then turned over to the
Maryland authorities, who charged him
with larceny from the person, and for this
offence he received a sentence Of one year
in the penftentiary.

gang, has several aliases, and is well
known to the police OF Philadelphia as

When the case OF Guy NJ. Neely, the

not to be up to that required by law, was
called before Judge Kimball yesterday
afternoon, Mr.. Lipscomb, the defendants

British Fighting in this Century.

British Fighting in this Century.
The Worlds Magazine last Sun.
day catalogued no less than twenty
four wars in which Great Britain
has been engaged during Victoria's
reign. In only three of them, the
Crimean war and the first and pres
ent wars against the South African
Beers, have the British tried con
clusions with other than inferior
races.
In the Crimean war the record
Of British blundering gave birth to
one Of the great poems oil the Ian
guage. In the first Boer war the
story OF Maiuba Hill and the treaty
Of concession that followed re-
corded British failure. In the
present war the honors o / strategy
and OF fighting have thus far been
on the Boer side, though nothing
could exceed the bravery Of the
British officers.
The simple fact is that very
rarely in the present century have
the British fought white men, and
when they have done so they have
uniformly tailed in grand strategy
and battle tactics.
1t was a record rather of failure
than Of success IN the Peninsula
war that made Wellington famous.
AT Waterloo he was clearly out
generalled and out fought until the
Germans under Blucher rescued
him at the critical moment. AT
New Orleans Andrew Jackson,
with only 900 men that could be
called soldiers and a motley crew
Of backwoodsmen, merchants,
clerks, whar rats, beach combers,
and free negroes, all hastily en-
listed and rudely armed, met and
defeated Paekenham. in command

More Taxes.

Ellis H. Roberts Republican
Treasurer OF the United States, has
unwittingly furnished text for the
opponents of Imperialism. In his
annual report it is shown that the
people are paying Tor the present
policy oi colonial power more
money in the way Of taxes than
has ever been collected for war
purposes in the history Of the Gov
ernment, save in 1868 and 1864.
The burdensome new revenue
laws, which were imposed for the
period of the Spanish war origin

has permanently fastened upon the
people, brought 20 the Treasury

The collections ofinternal revenue
were larger than for those OF any
previous year with the exception
only of 1860. The net ordinary
expenditures were a little over
S6os 900, 900, an amount exceeded
only twice, in 1868 and 1904, when
the Government had an army oi
not less than a million men in the

perialism. Il may be affirmed, in
fact, that but for our new policy OF
expansion the United States would
be practically exempt from the
risks OF foreign war to which other
great nations are exposed. The
evil OF the new policy lies not alone
in the fact that it involves US now
in an interminable and costly con-
flict with the Filipinos, on the other
side OF the globe, but that it con-
tains the germs OF other and greater
conflicts in the future.

Prof Worcester OonvIcts Himself.

Efh NOrcesbef OOnNlCNs hlmseaIs
Prof. Dean c. Worcester, in an
address at Chicago, says the Gin
cinnati Inquirer, undertook to
answer the question why we are
obliged to send a great army to
the Philippines if only small irac-
ton OF the people are IN arms
against US. He said: 81 answer
first, because we are waging the
most humane war in history. II
it were simply matter OF killing
we should not need so large an
army. Two regiments Of troops
could go where they chose in the
Island of Luzon today and kill to
their hearts content without seri-
Gus risk. It is because we are at
tempting to protect the peaceable
inhabitants from the depredations
ol the lawless that we require so
large force
Do the imperialists expect peo-
Pile OF common sense to think such
stuff as that1 Is there no better
argument for the Admnistratio n
policy when professor" takes up
the cudgels2 The man who says
that two regiments of troops can
go where they please on the Island
OF Luzon without serious risk
hasn't intellectual standing enough
to deserve a digni6ed answer.
When he slludes to our war on the
Filipinos as a humane war he is
still worse. The best way to do
with the imperlalists is to print
what they say and let them convict
themselves in the minds OF all mer
with sense, conscience and patriot
l ism.

GEN. OTIS finds himself "embar-
rassed" by the necessity of pro-
viding garrisons for even the absn-
doned Filipino towns occupied by
his forces. He is further embar-
rassed by renewal OF insurgent
activity south oil Manila" and by
the report that "there are more in
surgents in the vicinity Of linus
than ever before" Yet one OF the
reasons for thanks giving men
toned by Mckinley in his unctu-
Gus proclamation was that the in
habitants Of these islands, with the
exception OF little band OF mis-.
guided Tagologs, were as eager to
welcome our rule, says the New
York Wo1ld, as ever a Georgia
darky was to benevolently assimi
late a watermelon.
