Ottawa, Aug. 14.--The annual re- port of tne criminal statistics in the Dominion for the year ending Sep- tember 30th, 1901, shows that the number of charges for indictable of fences was 128 less than in 1900. The convictions in 1901 numbered 5,635, or 130 less than in 1900. There is a decrease in the percentage of convic- tions to charges. In 1901 there . were 2,532 acquittals, compared with 2,576 in 1900. There is a slight increase in the detentions for lunacy, which ag- rees with the findings of the last census. There has been a decrease in Cana- ida, as a whole in the number of con- victions compared with the popula- tion. This is due to a decreased ratio of enime to population in Prince Ed- ward, New Brunswick, Manitoba, On- tario, Yukon, and British Columbia. The territories showed considerable in- crease, and Nova Scotia and Quebec a small increase. The decrease in the Yukon is from. thirty-five to*fourteen per cent. Crime among the agricultur- al, commercial, and domestic classes has decreased. 1t has increased among the industrial classes, while the pro- fessional and laboring classes show de- creases. he proportion of females among the crimin#l classes is steadily decreasing. Those who gave their religious views as Methodists, Preshyvterians, Bap- tists, and Roman Catholics are fewer in number' than their proportion in i the whole population warrants while Anglicans are larger." There was an increase of 1.7 ' per cent. of summary convictions in 1901, as compared with 1900. NEW ZEALAND TRACYS. Outlaw Brothers Run to Earth After Months. Victoria. B.C..

Of the Sons of England--Supreme Lodge in Session at Winnipeg lodge of the Sons of England at ves terday's session rejected without a dis- senting voice the proposal to destroy the national character of the society, by admitting others than descendants of Englishmen, The proposals to de: bar non-beneficiary members from sit- ting at the supreme lodge and from election as supreme officers; were not approved. The clauses seeking to change the personnel of the executive, by creating a new office of second vice- president, and leaving the 'supreme se- cretary of the board, met a similar fate. Equally unsuccessful 'was the proposal to: elect the financial or as- sistant secretary by the supreme lodge. It was decided that the dele- gates be elected in Deceiber instead of June. Past supreme presidents will henceforth he entitled to sit at su- preme lodge only if clected "as dele- gates. A long and warm debate waged over the clauses amending the constitution of the white degree. The champions of the present system prevailed.

Stroud, of Ottawa, fa- voring the principle of engaging an organizer was referred to the general committee, with instructions to re- commend what sum should be devoted to the purpose. ' TRADES OF LABOR COUNCIL. To Have Monster Picnic in Fair Grounds. At a meeting, last evening, of the Trades and Labor Council, complete arrangements 'were made for a mon- ster picnic in the fair grounds on La- bor day.

The coun- cil will invite Mr. O'Connell, Chicago, grand president of the International union of machinsts, an orator of note, to deliver an address. There will be other speakers as well. The ma- chinists will devote much of their time to perfecting arrangements. Thestepresentative of the painters' union introduced a resolution having for its object the handing over the re- ceipts of the picnic to the striking inaelitngts, but the last named i t6=have it withdrawh, as they said they were not now in need of funds, but should they be in the future, and the receipts , are, available, they felt sure they would be forthcoming. Statements contained in a local paper were repudiated by the machin- ists and the meeting; it was pointed out that the statements offered were unwarranted and uncalled: for. The meeting reaffirmed its endorsa- tion of the stand 'taken by the strik- ing' machinists and pledged support to those who are standing out ior what they claim to be their rights. -------------- THIS IS A WARNING, Series of Disasters That Befell Stingy Paper Borrower. A man who was teo stingy to take his home paper sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neigh- hor. In his haste the boy ran over a hive of bees and in ten minutes he looked 'like a warty squash. His cries reached his father who ran to his as- sistance, and, failing to notice a barb- ed wire fence. ran into that, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a' $5 pair of pants. The cow took advant- age of the gap in the fence and got into the corn. Hearing the rachet his wife ran, upset a four-gallon churn full of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning them. In the hurry she lost a 87 set of teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the cream and into the parlor, ruining a brand new £20 carpet. 'During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, and the dog broke up «l- even setting hens and the calves got out and chewed the. tails off four fine nightshirts. The man could have had a paper of his own at 81 a vear and <aved all the trouble and expense. CANADIAN LADY HONORED. Awarded Medal by King for Pub- lie Service. Christian Treasury, Allahabad, India.
