Washington, Dec. 2G.--Strenuors ef-

travagance which has accumulqted

There are now In position or under
construction 372 Of these mortars,
and the total number contemplated
under the general coast defense
scheme is no less than 500. These NOR
tars cost an average Of about $4,000
each, 80 that the cost Of the mortars
themselves will aggregate fully s6,-

tion, providing them with the ncces-
sary carriages and the usual heavy
emplacements. costs more than as
much again.

tars when the present coast defence
scheme is completed will he not far

penditure would he justified ms n ncc-

vcloped the fact that In their opinion
these mortars are absolutely useless
for the purposes for which they are
intended. Distinguished ordnance
officers admit that there In not q
mortar in existence which can be lie
pended upon TO drop it's shell any
where within radius of about ter
times the length of an ordinary war

Csnada's Remarkable Record.

The annual report of criminal sta
tist!cs of Canada shows that there
were only 25 indictments for murder
In the dominion during 1899. This is
n remarkable record for n country Of
over 100000 inhabitants. One cause
for this happy result is that Canada
has not, like the United States, great
cities whose criminal population Is
swclled by offenders coming from
other parts of the world.
