RiiRsinn, Hungarian, Italian and Finn Population Gains. Wash'ngton. The Germans and Irlnh in the United "ates are rapid ly decreasing In number, while the Italians, Russians and natives of Austria-Hungary and Finland have more than doubled In number since 1900. This Is what the census bureau says are panic-stricken. This has been going on for over a week, and a great public protest against the inactivity of the authorities In leaving the resi dents to fight the evil alone is sug gested. At a dairy shop one big rat was found to have dined so well that It was too fat to re-enter Its hiding place. "That cat is worth 10 shillings week to me," said a tradesman. "The rats used to climb on the shelves, eat my jams, spoil my bacon and has and play ' havoc with my cheese. I put down my average weekly loss at 10 shillings, but lsnce I've had that cat the rats have gone." Scores of rats were seen holding high revel in a shop late at night, while policemen and, late workers looked on through the window. A rat was seen pushing an egg with his paws toward a hole, "Ane day," said the Bhopkeper, "I was startled by a, stream of water running through the walls; I discovered that the rats had eaten through the lead water pipes."
