That systematic public education en-
eourages crime is a charge frequently
made by those with
superficial knowl-
| ana cfAms' edge of facts. In
n late issue of the Educational Review
is an article in which Prof. Nicholas
Murray Butler, of Columbia university,
takes the trouble to refute the asser-
ton that public education in the United
States has increased the number OF
criminals against property In the
first place, he says, it should be remem-
bered that communities which main
tain schools have higher standards as
to what is lnwful than communities
without such civilizing influence, and
therefore more acts are held criminal
and more crimes are detected and pun
ished. A greater number of arrests
may signify better police adninistra-
ton rather than an increase in crime
When records are carefully kept it ap-
pears that the illiterate population
furnishes from six to eight times its
was established by an investigation OF
the bureau of education. The history
OF Massachusetts presents conclusive
enswer to the contention that educa.
ton begets crime. In 1850 the jails and
prisons held s,761 persons, while in
1885 the number increased three times,
or to 26,651-an apparent increase in
crime. But analysis shows that serious
offenses have fallen off 40 per cent.
while vigilance in prosecuting is re-
sponsible for the apparent increase.
Thus, says this authority, despite the
decrease in drunkenness, the commit.
ments for this offense increased from
o,s41 in 1850 to is, FOL in 1855, while other
crimes and commitments were one to
1s3 OF population in 1850. against one
to pa in 1855. So person and property
are safer, while drunkenness has be.
come more dangerous-to the drunk.

Report From Pekin Dated July 2I
Tells of Severe Attacks Made on
the Legations.

London, July S1.-A special dispatch
from Tien Tsin says:
A Pekin message, dated July q, reports
that the first outside news reached there
July IS. The failure of the relief expe-
dition made the siege far more perilous.
On June 49, the Tsung-li- Yamen broke Off
relations. June 20, China declared war.
Baron Won Ketteler and Francis James.
an English professor, were murdered.
Over 400 non-comha tants occupied the
British legation. I understand converts
are holding the North Cathedral. A thou
sand refugees occupied the palace of
Prince Lu. A truce began July II, after
twenty-six days of fierce assault. One
night the shelling was uninterrupted for
six hours.
Four attempts were made to fire the
in the ruin of the Chinese National Col
lege. The cowardice of the Chinese pre-
vented a successful rushing.
Total killed or died is: Germans, 10;
Japanese, 10; French, II; British, 5; Rus
sian. 4; Americans. Z; Italians. 7; Con-
verts, 8; total with wounded. 9S.
The correspondents Morrison, Reid and
Tementy are ia.
Al least 1000 Chinese have been killed.
The Americans occupy a strong posi-
ton on the city wall
Provisions are still sufficient. The hos
pital arrangements are excellent. Every
body is much exhausted by continuous
work.
Imperial edicts have commended the
Boxers and ordered missionaries to leave
the interior, and commanded all Viceroys
to help Pekin; but an edict, dated July
49, enjoins protection and promises COM
pensation. The report that a large re-
lief force was coming produced this
change.
Foreign governments should beware of
being hoodwinked.
