The curious statisticians have been presenting the papers with some astounding figures concerning London's population, Its food requirements from without and what would happen Iff the sources of supply were cut off. Never In the world's hUtory before, it Is said, has there been a huge com munity of between six and seven mil Ions of people living crowded to gether upon a small area and entirely dependent for their food upon sup plies from outside that area. London, which with its outer rings, and including also the enormous number of visitors now present, has a present total of close on seven mil lions ot Inhabitants and produces nothing In the way of food stuffs It self. If It were possible for London to be besieged as Paris was In 1871, and cut off from communication with the outside world, starvation would begin to make Its palus felt at once. Everything that Lodon gets has to be brought into the metropolis. The flour for the breakfast roots whs made from wheat which last year made golden the rich prairies of western Canada; the milk and cream came up from somerset, the rolled oats for porridge was Imported from the United States; the bacon Is Dutch, the eggs Danish, the butter Norman. The fish were caught In the North Sea. The coffee ripened on an Indian plantation. Tbe oranges for the mar malade grew under the burning sun of Spain. lAVOTHKR AMERICAN' AltDlNAL. ROME, Aug. 1. At the Vatican tonight It was considered certain that the pope would have consistory either before November 1, when the reft rm of congregations becomes effective or In December, at the close of hi jublless year. In either Instance, It (s asserted, his holiness will create 10 new cardinals. The presence of Cardinal Gibbons Is expected and will result In the decision where or not there will be another American car dlnal chosen. PEBHAPH A MURDER. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug 1. Varnsl Revalk, the 18-year-old sen .' it. E. Rerr Ik, died early tW morn lug at Harbor Emergency hospital fiom Che effect! of poison, repotted to be cyanide of potash or chloral hydrate. Th boy's father believes that his son was murdered. The po lice believe It was a case of suicide, though they admit an apparent ab sence of a motive. Last evening Revatk attended a re ception and afterwards escorted one ot the young ladle home. Next he telephoned to nts father that he would not be home, and then called up some boy friends to meet him at a saloon The hoy dlrappolntcd nira, and after waiting some time he de- raned About 4 o'clock he was sten li: ai ether saloon on Pilmort- street. He bought a quart bo.r: r miner I water and, after standing on the street cub some time, hired a hack to go to the ferry. At McAllister street he called to the nackman to mall a letter for him. This was addressed to Leland 8parks, a son ot the late Governor Sparks of Nevada. When the hack man reached the ferry he called to Revalk and, receiving no reply, opened the hack and found the boy covered wltb froth. He drove to the Emergency hos pital, where the boy died within five minutes. Examination of the bottle ot mineral water showed that Revalk had drunk a large portion of It. He was to have sailed tor Manila Wednesday to take a government po sition, and It Is thought he became despondent at the thought of leaving his home. DEFECTIVE FISH LADDERS. Sportsmen complaint of tbe scarcity of fish In Rogue river thla season and the general opinion is that inadequate nan ladders at the different dams are largely responsible for the shortness of the Dsn crop, says the Central Point Herald. The Golden Drift dam, near Orants Pass, Is said to stop most of the salmon and steelheads and the few that surmount that ob xtacle soon run against the Gold Ray dam, which at the present low stage of water seems to be an effectual hindrance ' j fish on their journey to tne spawning ground. The pres ent flsh ladder does not apparently extend far enough towards deep water for the fish to have much show Ketting over It. Persons familiar with the conditions there report that re cently not a fish can be seen trying the ladder, while on the other side of the river, where water from the breast of the dam strikes the slant ing bedrock close to deep water, dozens ot fish may be seen trying to make it over. In two or three basin were constructed on tbe shelving bed rock at that . -uce the flnh could evi dently cross tue dam wliuout serious difficulty. The attention of the state fish warden suouid be called to this condition. AIKSIUI' SAILING. NEW YORK. July 31. Rising from the ground like a giant bird and darting through the air at express train speed, Henry Farman's aero plane, or heavier-than-air-flying ma- 'hine, brought here from France, made its iultial flight in this coun'.ry Inte this afternoon at Brighton Rf-arh. It rose from an especially .upaVed "dock" at the will of i's in ventor, and after attaining a height nf 2!i feet, flew straight ahead on a direct line, finally alighting with ex quisite grace when the air pilot di minished the motive power. The landing provoked cheers. Farman was surrounded and Utterly hugged by Jubilant aeronauts. As a rival attraction to Farman, Frank Hamilton, the American aero naut, sailed his dirigible balloon into the race course. During his flight tbe propeller broke and tbe balloon was banged against the grandstand, throwing Hamilton out. Farman was the first person to go to his assist ance, and shook his rival warmly by the hand. Hamilton secured a new propeller and sailed away. KETCH KM. AND KKI.I.V. SAN FRA.SX'ISCO, July 31. Stun ley Ketchell of Grand Rapids made short work ol Hugo Kelly of Chicago tonight in their scheduled 20-round contest for the world's middleweight championship. He knocked his man out after but 25 seconds ot fighting in the htlrd round, a left shift flush to the Jaw placing Kelly hors de com bat. Although Ketchell won early, the victory was not an easy one. In fact, it looked a bit blue for the champion as he took his seat at th termination of the second round. lu two rounds Kelly outfought his man from the tap of the gong to the end of the round. Ketchell came up quickly for the third round and im mediately laced out with his left, which he placed twice In succession to the Chicago man's Jaw. Beforo the seml-dased Italian had a chance to catch himself, Ketchell shifted his left to the Jaw and Kelly toppled over as though struck by a sledge hammer. ATHLETES RETURN AVfl. 2.

MlKKoiiri Pacific broke about three points shortly after the opening. The ImpreflHlon prevailed that Mr. Gould Is down and out so far an his control In the so-called oould linen Is oncerned. As he said himself, he bus lost some diamonds out of his crown, hut It would seem as If Km pur or llar rlman had stepped In and usurped crown and all. In fact, Mr. Gwuld virtually admitted this. Were It not for the more or less demoralized condition of the Gould Affairs tho entrance of Mr. Hnrrlman Into the control would probably bet considered by the financial commu nity aa a bull point on the Gould stocks, but the street wants to see the Gould roads put on their feet first.
