PROPERTY LOSS ENORMOUS. Tliis List of Bobberies Simply Contains Those Discovered by Reporters, Despite the Police.

The inadequacy of present police methods to prevent crime was never better exemplifies than in the list or robberies that is given herewith as occurring in the Borough of Brooklyn during the year WOO. The list shows that there were 206 robberies ot all kinds, including 152 burglaries. 29 robberies (so called) and 25 highway robberies. Thte does not by any means represent the entire number of robberies in the borough during the year, ior the stories of 'burglary that reach the newspapers are but a bare fraction of those that are reported to the police. The list that is published simply represents the cases discovered by or reported to the reporters of this paper.

They do not come through police channels, for, since the consolidation of the Brooklyn police with the force of the greater city, the cast iron rule to keep all stories of burglary and robbery from the reporters has been rigidly obeyed. The morning returns have been barren of information concerning burglaries and rob berieG, in direct opposition to the theory of 'what was considered the best police man agemeut in the United States, that it was the duty of the department to the people that all cases should be reported. It had been the old habit of Mulberry street to suppress all information from the' public that would in any way reflect on the inefficiency of the force. So, when Brooklyn became a part of New York, the old time confidence between the police administration and the people who paid for its maintenance was destroyed. The new rule went, further than the mere retention of robbery news from the newspapers.

Persons who had suffered loss were under the new condition of police admlnis tration, warned that they must not talk of their losses to their neighbors. There was a representation that maybe, if they gossiped about the larcenies, there would be difficulty in finding the stolen property of the culprits. Then, again, the losers were warned that if they told the newspaper peo ple about their losses there would be no power on earth to catch the criminals, for publication would, sure as eggs were eggs, place them on their guard. In that way the householders, who were the victims of an undisciplined and emasculated police force, were terrorized and only the barest percentage of the robberies became public. The Eagle has not sought to take any advantage of the police in publishing this list.

It is simply the data garnered by energetic reporters of the paper and brought to the no ice of the public by careful and conscien tious labor. It is probably fair to say that it does not represent more than one tenth of the robberies that have taken place in Brooklyn in a year; and yet it shows that the old police' Brooklyn made a better rpcord than, the vaunted administration of Mulberry street der the new methods. In the old days Brooklyn was a clean city. The focci of thievery has always been in New York, yet th its proximity to the greater city, Brooklyn in the old days was dreaded by thieves. Its police foice was alert and by the extension of confidence to the householders, much crime was prevented.

The men in charge of the police in Brooklyn to day have no comment to make about the list. They are dominated from Mulberry street and as subordinates, have no suggestion to make about police policy. Here is an interesting table based on the reoord given below: Highway Bursdartes.Robberlep.Robberies.

A Certain Uuniber of Visits to Each During the Year Will Be Required.

The documents announcing that the jublloo has been extended to the universal church have not been as. yet received by Bishop McDonnell, nor, in fact, by any of the other Roman Catholic bishops of the country, ah though the Pope lias issued his encyclical In regard to it. This was done, it is said, at the occasion of the closing of the holy door, at St. Peter's, wbich took place on December 24 last. It is thought, however, that the documents are in the hands of the delegate apostolic, in Washington, who may be engaged id preparing a translation of the original, which, will be mailed at the same time to all tha ordinaries of the country.

According to the original announcement that reached this country, it was stated that tha jubilee season was to begin on the first day of the new century and continue for sii months, ending on the lust day of June next. If this Is so, and those weli informed in these matters declare It. to bo so. nearly a month of the time allotted to this service will have, passed away before il will be possible for the bishops to arrange the necessary local rules to conform with conditions as they are fouud by which the benefit of the Jubilee can be gaiucd. The jubilee referred to here is a sort of continuation of the jubilee which was held In Rome during the last year of the century.

It was necessary, in order to gain the spiritual blessings of the latter, to visit the City of Rome and visit certain churches named by the holy father a certain number of times, there to offer prayers of thanksgiving for past graces and blessings and to ju uy for tha intention of the holy father and the prosperity of the church. It was principally for this reason that the many thousands of pilgrimages, numbering in their ranks hundreds of thousands of Catholics, were organized during the year in every country of the globe, the destination of which was Rome. Of course, it was impossible for everybody to take advantage of these opportunities and for that reason tin. holy father, desiring that nobody should be deprived of what were benefits to be gained by these exercises iu the Eternal City, extended the privilege to ali the dioceses of the world outside of Rome and its vicinity. The first half of this year was.

selected as the season in which the exercises were to be hold. There arc. however, certain condlt Ions necessary for tbe performance oi the jubilee, but the bishop cannot very well announce them until he has received the facilities for doing from tbe delegate who is the representative head of the church in this cotr try. It. is understood, however, that four churciios in the borough will be selected for the visitations of tin faithful and at.

which prayers that wetJ required of the pilgrims while in Koine will be repeated. One of tiie four churches will have to i the cathedral of the dlncrsc. but as the Pro t'atherlrd'. on lay street is tbe eborch of t.v episcopacy of the diocese, that will of necessity be one of the four. 1'nre; other church wil; be named.

A ccrtnin number of visi. will have to bo made to each church. This will not be known until the official letter is received bythe bishop, which likely to arrive at. any time. Special regulations for the making of tbe Jubilee by the people, in the country districts of the diocese will also bo marie by the bishop.

Apropos of the jubilee It is said that Bishop McDonnell has in eotit.empl.it Son an ordr tor the renewal of the missions that wor held in all the churches of the In December, 1899. The religious exercises proved a great, success and very satisfactory lo the Bishop. partlctKarly so, a.s it was what experimental in this country and was ih" first time to be held hero. It is said If the Bishop so decides ih'1 reiscs will be. held during the Lenten season.
