The precise truth of what Mr.. Chamberlain

accuracy the British attitude and the British
snirit in this controversy. and shows them to
he such as it would be difficult for even the
most cautious critic to take exception TO or in
any degree to resent. Whatever menace OF

been is happilv removed by the conclusion Of
terms of settlement. 1t is pleasant TO record
that there has been no such menace between
this country and Great Britain. On the con-

Great Rritain with Germany in the demonstra-

that ambitious city which opened keniiworth
Park with a great flourish of trurnpets is over
whelmed with debts, and has filed petition IN

The number of arrests in the boroughs OF
Manhattan and The Bronx in 1902 exceeded by
nearly ten thousand the total of the previous
year 1t can hardly be possible that there was
so considerable increase of crime from one
twelvemonth to another. and the obvious IN
ference Is that the police worked harder and
were more efficient and active last year than
in 1901.
