rs men employed by the Genera
Service company Of the Louisiana Pur
chase exposition, will shunt 200 freigh
cars, loaded with empty packing cases
into the several exhibit palaces, and
the work of dismantling the Worlds
fair will begin.
Piled at different parts of the expo
sstion grounds are 1900 carloads Of
empty packing cases, while outside the
grounds are others, aggregating 100
carloads more. These will be dis
'ributed as rapidly as possible, and the
packing Of exhibits will be rushed.
At daylight, December 2, another
large force OF men will begin to tear up
the walks that conceal the tracks about
the exposition grounds. They will
also tear up the swi ches in the rear OF
the Stadium and lay tracks connecting
the line with each OF the exhibit build
ings.
A bond has been filed with the Unit
ed States government, through the
Treasury department, by the Worlds
Fair terminal railway company, max
ing 1t common carrier, which will
facilitate the removal of the exhibits,
as freight cars can be dispatched direct
from the exposition grounds to their
destinations.
With the exception OF Germany, in
which case special permission was SO.
'ured, not single exhibit has been
nor will be allowed to be
until the new month has
begun. Only few of the German ex-
Ribs have been taken away from the
Worlds fair grounds, and they were
hipped directly TO the imperial palace

ppointed general superintendent OF the
j neral Service CON pany, and declares

st. Petersburg, Nov. 28- There is q
lack OF news from the front today. The
report that the Japanese are concen-
tTating their energies for desperate
assault ON Port Arthur, in view of the
approach of the Baltic squadron, is
quite generally credited in offiCia quar-
ters- Such move has been expected
to transpire as coon as the Japanese
learned that the squadron's trip was
reality and no mere demonstration.
The authorities are prepared to hear
terrible reports of the projected assault.
While not hazarding guess whether
the fortress can be carried, for the be.
siegers are utterly regardless of life,
they are confident that General Stoessel
will be able to make such an attack
one OF the costliest IN history.

Crime Greatly on the Increase In the

New York, Nov. 21.-~There at pres
emf four and half times as many muir
ders and homicides for each 1000, 00
people In the United States as Their
were in 1881. With this statement o
. fact, based upon statistics, s. s. Nc
Clure makes sta, thing showing of th'
increase of lawlessness in this country
and follows with stjngfng criticism o
the reign of terminal oligarchy," O
chronic infracton of the law by many
classes, OF general failure in the en-
forcement of the statutes. TO which
causes the condition is attributed
Comments on the prevalence of crime
and lawlessDess taken almost at random
from representative and serious news
papers and from published statements
of judges and citizens form the sup
porting evidence.
| In the United States last year there
were 1876 murders and hofnicides in a
population of about 0,000.0 In
1881, when the population was 81 &c.,
900, there we're only 1868 crimes of
this class. The high record was reach
ed in 1895. when there were 1864
murders and homicides in POPULATION
OF 10000, 900. la 1899 conditions inn
proved, but since then they have stead
lily grown worse.
Conditions in Chicago are strikingly
set forth by comparisons with the Grim
inal records of the two leading cities of
Europe. London, with an area of 688
square miles ard population of 6 $780,
600, had "a murders last year. There
was no undiscovered crime" as the
muIderers were all arrested except in
four cases, where they committed
suicide.
Chicago, with less than one third of
the population and area, covered by the
London or metropolitan police, had 1873
bomicides. In Is cases the murderers
were killed at the time of the crime or
committed suicide; four other cases
were those OF officers who did the kill
ing in the performance of their duties,
leaving 100 cases Tor the police to work
upon. Out of that number "a convic-
tions were secured, while in / 8 cases no |
arrests were made, and in So cases ar.
rests aid not result in conviction. Only |
one man was hanged in Chicago.
In Paris only Is murders or attempt |
ed murders were committed in the same
period. More than eight times as
many murders in Chicago as in Paris,
md six times as many as in London.
The loss of life tho crime is
made more prominent when compared
With fatalities in war and on railroads
n three years the homicides in the
United States numbered 81, 1876. The
5rltlsh loss in the Boer war was 90.

ALL-AMRRIcAN STANDING
CONRAD AND LAWSON
WILL MEET IN OAKVILLE

The wrestling contest between
Charles Lawson OF Naugatuck and
Henry Conrad of Oakville will be de-
cided in Oakyille on Friday evening.
That point was settled on
Saturday night, when Manager
Stapleton. acting for Lawson, and Man
ager Smith, acting for the Oakville So
cial club, met to open the bids. The
best bid was submitted by the Oakvi1le
club, which offered 70 per cent Of the
net receipts, and that bid was accepted.
That the match will be one OF the best
seen in New England is conceded by
all who know anything about the
game. 1t will be a catch-as-catch-can
affair, strangle holds barred, pin falls
only to count and the best two out of
three falls. Each man has posted $50
and each will weigh in at lis pounds
just before going on the mat. Should
either weigh more than the stipulated
weight he will forfeit the $50 he has
up to his opponent The winner will
take the purse Of 500 and the rs per
cent of the gate receipts, while the
loser will get nothing. There will be
two preliminaries and one of them will
be a corker, as Frank Speh of Derby
and John Murphy of Oakville will face
eahc other.

Word comes from st Louis that Jack
Munroe will in all probability leave
that city for San Francisco next week
to again take up his training for his
battle with Jeffries, which has been
announced for the last of August. Since
he reached st Louis the miner pugilist
has been taking only such light exer-
else as has been laid out for him Dy
his trainer, Tim McGrath, to keep him
in condition A wrestling match which
it was hoped could be arranged with
Tom Sharkey has fallen through Ad-
vices from Frisco state that Jeffries IS
still in Oakland treating his injured
knee. The latest reports from the
champions camp are favorable and,
after all it looks ais though he and the
miner will surely clash for the cham
pionship. Jeffries is determined that
Munroe shall not make capital out OF
his unfortunate mishap, and he will
make every effort to be on hand to de-
fend his title.
