The average annual doath rate in the
registration states was 17.8 per 1000 in the
cities of 8000 or more population In 1900,
and 14.3 per 1000 in rural districts, which,
as the term Is here used. Includes every
thing outside these cities. Rhode Island
is the only registration state in which the
rate was as high in the rural districts as
in the cities. But in Massachusetts, Con
necticut and New Hampshire the urban
rate exceeded the rural by less than one
per 100. i he excess was greatest In New
Jersey, New York and Maine.
The higher mortality for cities is due
largely to the fact that residents of rural
districts when critically 111 resort to the
hospitals and Institutions In the cities for
treatment, and that the deaths occurring
in such cases are registered in the cities,
thus increasing the urban mortality.
Most and Least Healthy Cities.
The average annual rates were lowest
in St. Joseph. Mo. (7.6): Owosso. Mich.,
(10.11; Lincoln, Neb. (10.4); and St. Paul.
Minn. (10.5); and highest in Charleston,
S. C. (31.31 : Wilmington, N. C. (28.2); and
Jacksonville. Fla. (28.1).
There were 44 cities in which the aver
age annual death rate for the five years
was 20 or more per 1000. Nineteen of these
cities are located In the Southern States,
and contain a large proportion of colored
population, the death rate for which, In
general, largely exceeds that for the
whites. "

sponsible for ten or more deaths per 100.

Consumption Leads, hut Loses.
As shown In the above table, tubercu
losis of the lungs and pneumonia were
by far the leading causes of death. The
average annual mortality from this
cause. 1900 to 1904, was 172.6 per 100,000 of
population. It la gratifying to note that
the rate has shown a marked decline
since 1S90, when it was 245.4. This indi
cates that the warfare against the white
plague is meeting with success. The
mortality from this disease In the regis
tration area In the United States la lower
than It Is in' Ireland, Germany, Norway
Spain and Switzerland, but higher than
In England and Wales, Scotland, the
Isetherlands, Belgium and Italy.
Of the whole number of deaths from
tuberculosis of the lungs 53.6 per cent.
ot more than one-half, occurred between
the ages of 20 and 40, the proportion be
ing 539 males and 461 females. The num
ber of deaths was greatest in March and
April and least In September. The mor
tality wa much greater in the cities than
in the rural districts, being highest in
Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey
and lowest in Michigan, Vermont and
New Hampshire.
The average annual mortality from con
sumption was higher In Denver than 1n
any other registration city, due to the
Influx and deaths of non-residents. Ex
eluding Denver, the rates were highest
in New Orleans, San Francisco, Wash
lngton, Newark, Jersey City, Baltimore
and Cincinnati, and lowest In St. Joseph,
Mo., Scranton. Omaha. Detroit, St. Paul,
Buffalo and Minneapolis.
Pneumonia Next In Line.
Pneumonia was second among the prin
cipal causes of death, the rate being con.
siderably greater than In England and
Wales and Scotland. Nearly 25 per cent
more were of males than of females. The
majority of deaths occur under 5 years
of age, and . after that period between
60 and 69 years. The number of deaths
was greatest In March, February and
January and least in August. The mor
tality was about 60 per cent higher in
the cities than ft the rural districts, and
among the states was highest in New
York. Rhode Island and Vermont, and
lowest in Michigan, Indiana and Con
necticut. For the principal cities the average an
nual rates were highest In Allegheny,
Pittsburg, New York and Kansas City,
Mo., and lowest in St. Paul, Minneapolis.
St. Joseph, Mo., and Toledo.
Other Deadly Diseases. ,
Diarrhoea and enteritis are third among
causes of death, prevailing chiefly amon
children and killing 529 males to 471 fe
males, chiefly In the Summer. Heart dis
ease stands fourth and is Increasing, over
75 per cent of Its deaths occurring after
44 years of age and 45 per cent after 65
years. Cancer has increased and kills
mostly after 40 years of age, the propor
tion being 622 females to 378 males. It Is
less prevalent than in England and
Wales Scotland, Germany, Norway, Hol
land and Switzerland. Typhoid fever
kills between 20 and 25 years of age, strik
ing down 5S8 males to 412 females, Italy
alone of the European countries showing
a higher ratio. Pittsburg and Allegheny,
Pa., show the highest rate, followed by
Cleveland. Cincinnati, Columbus, Louis
ville and "Washington, New York, St.
Paul, Milwaukee and Jersey City ax be
low the average.

BAILEY SLAPS ROOSEVELT
"Cost More and Worth Less" Than
Any Other PresldenU-Tillman
Champions His Enemy 3IcCum
ber Fears Royal Retinue?
WASHINGTON. June 21. During a lull
In the debate on the Panama Canal in the
Senate today. Hale called up the sundry
civil appropriation bill, and McLaurln con
tinued his speech in opposition to the ap
propriation of $25,009 for the President's
traveling expenses. He placed his objec
tions to the appropriation on the ground
that it makes a class distinction and said
that he was opposed to that principle.
He objected not only to the President s
gallivanting about over the country, but
also to his. using the public money to in
vite such representatives of the press -as
he might desire to have with him such as
would give out the kind of ..information
that would suit him and conceal such as
he did not want printed."
Did What Bryan Could Not.
It had been claimed that but for the
President's trips about the country, the
railroad rate bill would never have re
ceived the popular approval that had been
given it. but. asked McLaurln, had not
Mr. Bryan been advocating this legislation
long before the President s message of
1904? McLaurln disavowed any special
reference to the present Chief Executive,
saying that his remarks applied to the
office. -
Foraker suggested that, as the Pres
ident is Commander-in-Chief of the Army
and Navy, he has a right to use public
vessels for public purposes, and Tillman
said that the President s time is so com
pletely occupied that he .must be consid
ered as attending to public business wher
ever he may be.
Nice Prospect for Hemenway.
McCumber argued that the proposed law
would have the effect of abrogating the
nti-pass law. "If," he said, looking at
Hemenway, who sat directly in front of
him, "the Senator should accept a pass
from a railroad company, the prison bars
would be opened to let him in. but, if the
President should Invite him to ride
with him, the law could not interfere with
him. It amounted to saying that there
is one law for those who hold office and
another for those who do not, and none
for those who hold the highest offices.
Hale asserted that the salary of the
President cannot be increased so as to
make the Increase apply to the incumbent,
and Bailey suggested that an increase be
provided, and that the Increase be- made
applicable to the next Executive. He ad
mitted that there might be a need for en
largement of the Executive income, sav
ing no had heard that there had been an
increase of $100,000 in expenses during the
incumpency of the present President.
Bailey Shows His Spite.
"I don't know how that may be," he
said, "and all that I have to say is that.
if it Is true, he has cost more and is
worth less than any other President we
have ever had."
Spooner thought the proposed aonropria
tion could be used by the President onlv
in paying traveling expenses while on offl
clal duty, hut McCumber replied that it
Is not necessary that the President should
travel In order to perform his official acts.
Spooner expressed the opinion that Pres
ident McKlnley was on official duty when
he went to Buffalo and met his death.
McCumber also found In the nrovision a
tendency toward European systems, per
mitting a retinue. He said we might well
look forward to the time when there
would be a chamberlain and keepers of
this thing and that. He did not want to
ape the Old World's methods.
AVhy President Travels.
Hemenway said that the President does
not travel over the country because he
likes to travel, but because the people of
tne country want him in various localities.
He also said that it was right and proper
that he should invite representatives of
the newspapers to accompany him, and
also that a similar invitation should be
extended to friends when circumstances
make It proper. He did not regard the
transportation as Increase of the Pres
ident's salary. The intention was to bring
me rresiaent and tne people together
There was nothing smacking of Old World
customs.
The amendment was still under consld
eratlon when the Senate went into exec
utive session.
CONTESTED NOMINATIONS
Senate Spends Day on Wlckersham
and Barnes Without Action.
WASHINGTON, June 21. Two con
tested -nominations were before the
senate today in executive session,
They were those of Benjamin F. Barnes
assistant secretary to President Roose
velt. named for Postmaster of Wash
lngton, D. C, and James Wlckersham,
to be judge of the United States Court
lor the Ulstrict of Alaska,
The Wlckersham case -was first on
the calendar and Carter moved to dis
place it. This was done by a vote of
29 to 17. By this time it was so late
that by agreement the Barnes case
went over until 3 o'clock Saturday.
The opposition to Barnes is being led
by Tillman, but he announced that he
would not delay debate. Barnes will
be confirmed, as a poll demonstrated
that a large majority of the Senate is
not opposed to him. The Wlckersham
case was then taken up again, and an
unavailing effort was made by Foraker
and Bailey to get a vote. This may
have the effect of preventing any vote
on Wlckersham before adjournment, in
which event his enemies will urge tha
tresiaent not to reappoint him.
Senator Lodge reported the nomina
tion of Herbert H. D. Peirce to be
Minister to Norway. It is said that
every Republican member of the com
mittee signed the poll for Mr. Peirce.
EXPERTS OF MEAT TRADE
Immense Increase In Ten Years
Britain Best Customer.
WASHINGTON, June 21. Exports of
meat and meat products from the Ujilted
States in the 11 months of the fiscal 'year
ended with May 31 aggregated over $180,
000,000, according to a report issued by
tne Department of Commerce and Labor.
These figures for 11 months, says the re
port, show a larger exportation of meats
and meat products than In the corre
sponding period of any other year in the
history of the export trade, and an in
crease of practically 60 per cent when
compared with the corresponding period
Or 18SB.
The increase occurs in all the principal
products, bat is especially noticeable in
lard, oleomargarine oil, salted pork, fresh
beef and fresh pork. For the 10 months
ending April 90, up to which complete-figures
are available, exports of the various
articles were: Lard, $51,600,000; Dacon,
$29,006,000: beef, fresh, practically, $20,000.-
000; hams, $16,666,000; oleomargarine oil and
oleomargarine, $15,000,000; salted pork, $10,
000.000; canned beef, $5,750,000; salted beef,
$4,000,000; tallow, a little less than $4,000,
000; sausage casings, $2,235,000, and fresh
and canned pork, $1,000,000 each. Exports
of canned beef and of bacon show but
little Increase during the last decade.
Great Britain, saw the report. Is by
fan the-' largest purchaser of American
meat products. Of the $75,000,000 worth of
bacon, ham, fresh beef and canned beef
exported In 1905, the United Kingdom took
$66,000,000 worth, or practically 90 per cent
of the total; of the total exports of meat
valued at $100,000,000, it took $80,000,000
worth; while of the $45,500,000 worth of
cattle exported in the same year. It took
$36,750,000 worth.-
Oleo exports go chiefly to the butter-
making countries, the largest part to The
Netherlands, which took $6,509,000 worth
of the $11,500,000 worth exported In 1905.

chief executivo informing him they would
act favorably upon his suggestions, but
refraining from saying definitely what
their action will be.
This afternoon a member of the Sailors'
Union managed to elude the vigilance of
the watchmen and policemen on the dock
of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
and get on board the steamer State of
California. There he managed to Induce
the nonunion crew p fthe boat to leave.
A launch from the Sailors' Union soon
hove in sight and took the men on shore.
It was all done so quietly that the offi
cials of the company did not realize what
had happened till it was too late.
When the steamer City of Peking ar
rived from Panama this morning the reg
ular union stevedores started to unload
her. However, after working but a short
time, they were Informed by the captain
and the officials on the wharf that their
services weer no longer needed. When
the union men IJeft the dock the Mexican
crew of the boat were put to work un
loading her.

PREPARE FOR TARIFF WAR
German Manufacturers Warned
That Peace Is Only Temporary.
BERLIN, June 21. At a meeting of the
Central Association of German Manufac
turers, embracing most of the great man
ufacturers' organizations of the country,
held at Nuremburg, yesterday, the Gen
eral Secretary, Herr Bueck, referring to
the trade arrangements with the United
States, said the association supported the
temporary extension of the treaty duties
to the United States because German In
dustry at this moment was not suffici
ently prepared for a tariff war with the
United States. A continuance of the sit
uation created by the temporary arrange
ment, however, would be irreconcilable
either with the economic Interests or dig
nity of the German Empire. The general
secretary felt It necessary, therefore, to
warn German Industry to prepare in good
time for a tariff war, which would be
unavoidable if the United States thought
it could continue treating German goous
unfairly.
