Andrew, after the robbers had

across the fields to secure help. The

Carry on Government.

Carry on Government.
A statement has been issued by the
appropriations committees Of the Senate
and House summarizing the estimates
for appropriations to be made at the
present session of Congress for the fiscal
year 1907. The total for all purposes ag-
gregates $S04, ,298,415.
These estimates are greater than the
appropriations for the current year by
$19,170,155.
The War Department asks 1868, ,4G3
less than was appropriated last year
and the river and harbors item, which
last year amounted to $1S,1S1 ,S75, is
omitted entirely this year. With these
exceptions every department Of the gov
ernment has asked for more money than
the current appropriation.
The two largest increases are asked
by the navy, $21, ,229, ,03S, and the Post
Office Department, So, ,1S7,076.
The estimates of the appropriations
committees exceed those of Secretary
Shaw by nearly $200,000,OOO, which is
accounted for by the fact that the Sec.
retary of the Treasury estimates for the
Postoalce Department only that sum
which will have to come from the treas
ury for its maintenance, not including
postal revenues applied to the support
Of that department. His estimate for
the Postolllce Department is $7,626, 900,
while that of the appropriations commit
tees is S193,210,070.

like chaff before the wind. Shop after
shop they looted. Plate glass windows
were smashed and gold and jewels
were seized. The whole thoroughfarc
was wrecked before law and order OBJ
talned the upper hand. The outbreak
was soon over. but in couple of hours
the forces which had hitherto been sue
cessfully suppressed had given London
a shock from which it took long time
/ to recover
! But at length 1t succeeded in sitting
its fears. The British public has read
of outbreaks in other countries, of riots
in Russia, of Soclalism's strides in Ger
many, of revolts ON the part of famine
stricken peasants in Italy and Spain.
1t has read of all of these things in its
somewhat Pecksnifiian morning news
papers and has thanked God that Eng
land is not as other countries are. 1t
has remembered the West End riot but
has regarded 1t as a warning, not OF
the power of the submerged, but Of the
necessity of possessing an efficient pO-
lice force. All the blame OF the upris-
ing Of a dozen years ago was placed
by the British public on the police. The
chief result of it was, not legislation
to decrease the misery in the East End,
not earnest inquiry as to what was
wrong In the British economic system,
but the resignation of a quite harm
less, conscientious and Woodworking
police commissioner.
Public IL Frightened.
And now the British public is fright
ened again; terribly frightened. The
police force of London is more efficient
than ever before; the trade of England
Is more osperous-according to me

with leaders and leavening of cour-
ageous men an army Of poor-spirited
human beings can become terrible.
This is the condition that confronts
the citizens OF London. The East End
ers, the Submerged Tenth, the people
who constitute the chronic unemploy-

archists and Socialists; the allies are
the thousands of workmen who are not
chronically unemployed, but who have
for months been unable to find work.
The people who are suffering don't
know and don't care particularly what
has caused their misery. They only
know they can find no one to employ
Tho m, and that In consequence they
and their families have to go without
food or apply to the Boards of Guard
lans for relief.
They have been suffering in silence
for long time. A few weeks ago
they began to murmur-collective
The murmurings have been becoming
louder week by week. The Outcry Of
the people is becoming coherent, def

defiant. Recently Edwards eldest
daughter was hooted in the streets OF
London as she was opening the tents
provided by the King and Queen to
shelter the unemployed.

for the Nation.

London Correspondence:
a new problem has arisen In Eng
land, a problem graver than any Ques-
tion of foreign affairs, more momcn-
tous than any disputed imperial policy.
1t is the problem of the poor Of Lon
don.
These people are not to be numbered
by the tens of thousands or by tho
hundreds Of thousands, but by the NIL
lions. They form an enormous proper
ton of the inhabitants of the greatest
city in the world. The stranger sees
few of them comparatively. He sees
splendid metropolis, magnificent pub
lie buildings, brilliantly lighted streets,
parks and squares and avenues. He
sees gorgeous theaters, luxurious clubs,
cathedrals and museums, well-stOckcd
stores and busy offices. An occasional
beggar in the Strand or Piccadilly, an
emaciated crossing sweeper, or n pitt
full flower girl may excite momentary
pity and evoke the virtuous glow that
comes from charity bestowed, but that
Is all.
The shame of London is hidden. 1t
is in the quarters never visited by the
well-to-do that 1t has its habitation.
The skeleton has existed in the closet
for scores, hundreds of years, but the
door has been locked, the horror velcd.

Secretary Taft urges an increase in
the seacoast artillery by 5000 men, with
the necessary complement of officers. He
says the expenses will be S3,000,000 per
annum. He does not, however, recon-
mend reduction in the cavalry force.
He says:
II am firmly convinced Of the wisdom
of providing more men for the coast ar
tillery. Our seacoast fortifcations, con-
structed at such heavy expense, ought
not to be left as they are now, without
the number of men to properly handle
and operate the heavy guns, with their
complicated mechanism and extensive ac-
ccssorles. anu 10 give tnen tne uegree OIL
care that is necessary in order to main

Secretary Taft reviews the progress
made in the construction of scacoast for
tiiicntions. Up to the present time there
have been cmplaced 101 twelve-inch
guns, 119 ten-inch, 34 eiGht-inch. 361
twelve-inch mortars. and 231 rapid fire
guns. Eighty per cent of the work of
fortiiication planned by the Endicott
board in 1856 has been completed.
