SATURDAY, ,: SEPTEMBER THE 'MORNINQ ' OBEGOKMV '29, ' 1900. iNSUS OF SPtfKANE City Is Bitterly Disappointed With Showing Made, HAD EXPECTED TO REACH 45,009 School Statistics the Basis For Cal culation Enumerators Slake Some lUush. Assertions. SFOKAJTB. Wash., Sept 28. Spokane Is bitterly disappointed -with the showing tnade by censusreports from Washing ton. "Word had been passed around that "the count would surely be qer 38,0001, and there was hope.that the 45,000 mark would be reached. One of the census enumerat ors today said he had sent to Chief Entj merator Mires, of. this state, lists aggre gating over 38,000 names, but later In the day, after telegrams had" passed be 6 tween him. and Mires, the enumerator mentioned hastened to retract the state ment. The claim that Spokane has more population than the official census gives her is based on these grounds: The -city directory contains 17,108 names. The directory company estimates 47,017 people In Spokane 10,199 more than are .given by the 2vatlonal census. In ISM the school census of Spokane showed there were & children of school age In the city, and the National census .figures were 19,322; almost sir times as great . The school census this year reported TWO children of school age. Multiplying this number by six .would give a total population of 43.840. THE OFFICIAL AXkOUNCEaCEtfT-. Spokane's Population Increased Al most SS Per Cent, in Tea Tears. WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. The popula tion of Spokane, Wash., as officially an nounced today. Is: 1890 .n...-....19,92J 1900 .. , .3e,84& These figures show for the city as a whole an increase in population of 16,926, or 84.S6 per cent, from 1830 to 1900. The population In 18S0 was 350, sLowing an in crease of 10,672; or E592 per cent, from 1880 toosau. ROBERTSOR'S CANDIDACY. Spokane Man Already Unpopular nt the National Capital. WASHINGTON, fiepL 21 -Conslaera-ble interest is manifested here in Wash ington regarding the candidacy of F. C. -Robertson, of Spokane, for Congress. Rob ertson, should he be elected, would start In with something of a handicap, be cause he was distinctly unpopular in his methods of conducting the case of the miners before the military committee when it was investigating the Coeur d'Alene riots. Robertson was vicious against every member of the committee "who objected to his capricious and in sulting method of asking questions. He had several tilts Tvlth Chairman Hull, and with Mr. Capron and Mr. Stevens, and nearly every Republican member, whom he seemed to regard as natural enemies from the beginning. He was not a popu lar man In that committee, and It Is probable that he would make himself unpopular In the House. In this connection, it is Interesting to note the effect of Robertson's candidacy in one state as a defender of the miners, while Duboise is a candidate for the United States Senate in the other, and Duboise is the man responsible for pre venting any mention of the Coeur d'Alene riots in the Democratic National platform. He used his Influence with Jones and with other Democratic leaders with whom he consorts a great deal, and the Coeur d'Alene plank which Lentz and Sulzer, who were on the ground at Kansas City, insisted should appear in the Democratic platform, was dropped out ard lost as completely as was the income tax plank. Duboise and Robertson of course, being in different states, do not have to recon cile their differences, but it is evident from the position that Duboise took that the entire movement on the part of Sul zer and Xrentz before the House in the Coeur d'Alene matter was one of pure buncombe. Declined to File Nomination. BOISE, Idaho, Sept 28. Secretary of State Patne today declined to file the Populist nomination of S. J. Rich, Demo cratic nominee for Presidential Elector. The Populist nomination was made by the executive committee, and its filing was refused because there was no certificate, showing that the committee was autho rized to fill vacancies. The matter will probably get into the courts. Republican. Rally at Hepjmer. HEPPNER, Or.. Sept 28. A Republican rally has been arranged here for the evening of October 5.

Politics generally here are be ginning to liven up, and there are a few woolgrowers here who say they are going to vote for Bryan and free trederbut they are very few.

Guesses at Morrow County's output for this year are now running up to 1,000,000 bushels. One of the most recent sales "was at Lexington 7003 bushels at 4G to 4&& cents.

SALEM, Sept 28. President M. L.. Jones, of the Oregon HopgrowcTs Association, reports that dealers are traversing the country offering 14 cents for hops, and sometimes as high as 14 cents. He thinks growers can" get 15.c.ents for their crop if they hold dntfO.,iha price. The same opinion is quite gerera$J? expressed, but nevertheless growers are,beglnnlng to sell at 14 cents and even less. M'MINNVILLE STREET FAIR.

The second day's ses sion of the German Methodise-Conference "opened at 9 A. M. J. W. Bepkley, of Spokane, leading in-the devotional exer cises. After the readfhg o-the minutes, work on, the 13th question, "Wbo Are the Effective Elders?" was' continued. In the superintendent's report, the ( language problem, "the real drawback to German Methodism, came before the body. It was stated that some, of thB churches were greatly, weakened- by GermansNbecomlnsf Americanized and joining EngUsh-speak-,lng churches, and to, this cause (was at tributed the fact that so few of the churches have become self -supporting. It was contended that emigration from the Fatherland had greatly fallen off fhe pas 10 years, and that it would require a very" efficient and' devoted, ministry ' to maintain the,cause,onthi3 Coast The character of the following effective elders was "passed: Charles A. Prelslng, pastor Second Church, Bortlanfl; J. W. Reckley, Spokane; J..C Jahn, Salem; Carl Jans, First Church, Portland; L. Gaiser, RItzvllle, Wash.; Joseph Hepp, Davenport." Wash.; J.

Salem Projects Must Walt Tho Federal authorities seem to have postponed for the time being further proceedings in the erection of a public building at Salem, or the establishment of a free rural mall de livery, route. The last Information re-' coived concerning the rural delivery mat ter Is to the effect that the special agent, H. J. Ormaby, who Is to inspect tho proposed routes. Is busily engaged in ex amining routes In Kansas, and will not be, able to get to 'Oregon in the imme diate future. He is not expected here for over a month. So far ag the new Postofllce building Is concerned, the latest Information is from a-private source, and is to the ef--feet that the Federal authorities have air the plans and specifications ready to ad vertise fqr bids, but 'will take nd fur their action until the Legislature shall releaser to the Government the required jurisdic tion over the site to be occupied. It is probabje, therefore, that the rural delivery routes will be established by the time the roads get bad, and that the con tract for building the Postoffice will be let In time for active 'operations to be commenced early in the Spring.

The representation made In behalf of Morris Is as follows: "We most respect fully represent that the amount found by the jury to have been converted in this, case amounted to $1565 54, but we believe and are of the opinion that there ar grave doubts as to the gullJ; of the said Morris, and that the money was taken and converted by some other persons than the said, Morris. We would further show" that the said Morris .has at all times borne a good reputation in the county for honesty and integrity, and believe tha$ your action in granting this application for a: pardon would merit the approbation of the general public.'' This petition contains the names of about 2500 residents of Linn Counly among whom were five of the nine men who were sureties on Morris' bond. There is also appended to the petition a recom mendation that the pardon be granted. signed by 10 jurymen, who say: "We-1 make Jhis application for the reason that from the evidence in this cause there is some doubt as to the defendant having converted the money, as found by the jury. We would further show that the defendant, Morris, has at all times borne a good reputation in Linn County, and while the evidence show? that the sum of $1565 54 was actually converted, we are of the opinion that the same may have been taken and converted by some person other than the said defendant" The jurynien who make this representation are-. J. D. Griffin, At. J. McClure. J. S. Weddle, S. S. Leeper, George Alfocd, Henry' Karstens, James Morgan, B. L. Plummer, John Cochell and Charles O. Rice Morris was defended in court by H. H. Hewitt, formerly Prosecuting Attorney and also ah cawCIrcult Judge of this dis trict The case was not' appealed to the Supremo Court The petition was pre sented to Governor Geer and supported in an oral argument by Judge Hewitt The father, an uncle and a brother of Morris also appeared before the Governor lp sup port of the petition. , A civil action was brought by Linn County against Morris and "his bondemen. to recover the amount converted. TfieJ ,case was tried before Judge Burnett by agreement of the parties, without a jury, 'and a judgment against the defendants for $3731 35 resulted. From this judgment the .defendants appealed to the Supreme, Court, and the case is now pending In; that tribunal. Statebousc Cannon Kept Bright.
