There were no cities in 1900, containing between 400,000 and 500,000 Inhabitants, but at the census bf 1890 there were three cities of this class. On the other hand there were five cities in 1900 with a population of between 300,000 and 400,000, but in 1S90 there were no cities coming between these limits of population.

THE OREGON REMOVED IT. No Longer Prejudice Against Adop tion of Battle-Ships. "WASHINGTON, June 2. An officer of the Bureau of Construction, of the Navy Department, who has been prominently connected with many of the battle-ships and cruisers that have been added to the Navy recently, and who Is close to the chief constructor, was commenting the other day on the recent report of the na val board of experts. In session at New port, in which they reported adversely on the construction of armored cruisers of the Maryland type, and favored battle ships of the Virginia class, making the assertion that one battle-ship Is worth two armored cruisers. The Maryland is a sister ship of the Colorado and South Dakota, while the Virginia is as a sister ship of the Rhode Island. "The fact is," said this officer, "that of late the armored cruiser and the modern battle-ship are so closely allied that It is difficult to draw the distinction between the two. "When our modern navy was commenced the battle-ship was a far different vesael from the armored cruiser, but gradually the two types have been drawing towards a common point, the battle-ship gaining In speed and sacrific ing a little weight, the cruiser improving its already high speed and taking on a little more armor from time to time, until at the present day there is practically no difference between the two. "To my mind, the report of the New port board may be taken to mean that in the future armored cruisers wiU be elim inated and all heavily armored vessels will be strictly battle-ships. The great suc cess of the battle-ship . Oregon in the Spanish "War did much to break down the prejudice against what had. been termed the 'slow battle-ships It lias been dem, onstrated that battle-ships sufficiently protected by heavy armor to render them vulnerable can be supplied with powerful fngines capable of driving them through he water at a rate of about 19 knots an hour, an dthls Is all we can expect, and all we require. When we need vessels of a h'gher speed, the armor -will have to be sacrificed and the weight lessened. "One of these battle-ships with an arma ment of four 12-Inch guns and a full bat tery of smaller arms makes as formida ble naval defense as there will be any call for for some time to come. The 13 Inch rifle which has been installed on the older battle-ships, has now been practI- cally abandoned, as the 12-Inch rifle. In addition to being as effective. Is much lighter, and preserves a better balance on the ship. In case the recommendation of the Newport board is carried out, we will have no more armored cruisers and more battle-ships. As I said before, how ever, the two are now practically a com mon type." Raised the Quarantine. AUSTIN. Tex., June 8.-State Health Officer Blunt has recommended to Gov prnor Sayres, and the Governor has ac cepted the recommendation, that the quar antine which has been maintained against San Francisco for some months pasfbfc raised. .The Health Officer gives as his reason that he is unable to confirm the reports that bubonic plague exists at that point. Another reason is that there have been .no cases reported for some time. The embargo will be raised at once. Lou isiana has maintained a quarantine for the past four months, and the Health Board of that state has been notified of the action of today. WORK OF VANDALS. Graves of Chinese Desecrated in "Washington. NEW YORK, June 8. Chinamen in "Washington are stirred up over the dis covery that graves in the Chinese plat in the Congressional cemetery have been desecrated. Nelson H.

' Trial of the Murder Case at Kansas City Postponed on Acconnt of the Woman's Condition. KANSAS CITY, June 8. Lulu Prince Kennedy cried convulsively In the court room this morning when a witness testi fied to- a conversation held with the pris oner's favorite brother, Bert Prince, a few minutes after the killing of Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy was removed from the room in an effort to quiet her, but when she was brought back a few-minutes later she sobbed aloud, and finally collapsed entirely. Unable to proceed with the trial, Judge Wofford ordered an adjournment until Monday, and the prisoner,, moaning and crying aloud, was carried bodily It '; 3&irfi NATIONAL WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE i across the corridor to her cell. This was the first real sign of a breakdown the prisoner has displayed since the killing In January last, the cool attitude and ap parently careless bearing she has shown having completely puzzled the officers who haVe had her In their care. Miss Bertie Litchfield, a former school mate of Bert Prince, was on the stand, resuming her testimony of yeslerday. Yesterday she told of Prince being in the Ridge Building at the time of the murder, and of his conversation with her at the time. The defense had objected to this conversation being related, and Judge Wofford reserved his decision until today, announcing this morning that the state would be permitted to give the testimony. The theory of the -state is that Bert Prince, together with his brother Will and his father, C. W. Prince, all of whotn are awaiting trial on a charge of complicity In the murder, had conspired with Mrs. Kennedy to kill Kennedy, and that the male members of the family were present in the building watching the different en trances to prevent his escape. Miss Litchfield today testified to having seen Bert Prince on the floor above Ken nedy's office a moment after the shooting. "I told him," said Miss Litchfield, "that I had been down stairs, that some one had been hurt. Bert said: 'Lulu did it; she gave him what was coming to him. He did not treat her right and she fixed him.' " At this point Mrs. Kennedy gave way to a fit of crying and was taken from the room. Bert Prince, who Is a traveling musician, has since her incarceration done more apparently than any other member of the family to make the pris oner's situation bearable, frequently hold ing concerts in her cell, and Mrs. Kennedy had shown her favoritism for him and keen regret that his name had any con nection with the case. In the courtroom Mrs. Kennedy oc cupied a chair at a table with her at torneys, and about her dally are grouped her father, her mother, who visited the prisoner but once since her arrest; her married sister, Mrs. Leon, and the lat ter's husband. Frequently during the whole session of the court her relatives pay no attention to her. Today, when Mrs. Kennedy gave vent to her feelings In sobbing her father tried to quiet her, but Mrs. Prince and Mrs. Leon remained In their seats making no effort to com fort the woman. Charles Dittmler testified to Bert Prince, having forecasted the murder. Two days before tho murder occurred Dittmler said Prince accosted him while reading a news paper account of Kennedy's suit for an nulment of the marriage. Prince had re marked: "You'll read worse than that about him before long." William T. Hacker told of seeing Mrs. Kennedy and Bert Prince together'in the vicinity of Kennedy's office a few hours before the murder, and Clifford Lawson testified to having seen Prince there at about the same time with a woman whom he did not know. After Mrs. Kennedy had been taken to her cell the jail physician was called and administered a quieting potion. He said her condition was not at all serious, and that she would be well enough Mon day for the trial to be continued. Mon day last the attorneys predicted that the jury would have the case by this evening. Now the Indications are that the trial will laet all next week. CHICAGO POOLROOM RAID. Gang of Confidence Men Broken Up and Arrested. CHICAGO, June 8.

Chief of Police O'Neill and several detec tives from the Central station arrested 23 men last night and unearthed what they say was the headquarters for a gang of the most noted confidence men In the country. Those arrested were all taken to the po lice station, where they were booked on charges of conspiracy to defraud. The complainant who will appear against them Is S. L. Seabrook, a traveling man, who alleges he came near being the victim of a swindle involving several thousand dol lars. Seabrook himself assisted the police in making the raid. It was but a short time after the men reached police headquarters before many of the prisoners were recog nized and the commanding officers realized the Importance of the arrests. Among those arrested In the raid are: Frank Dubois, Edward Dunne and Archie Donaldson; From the appearance of the' place a poolroom In full blast was in prog ress.

MARYLAND CENSUS FRAUDS. Attorney of St. Mary's Connty Found Guilty of Conspiracy. BALTIMORE, Md., June 8. The Jury in the census fraud cases has returned a verdict finding Joseph Ching, an attorney of St. Mary's County, guilty on, the fourth count of the Indictment for conspiracy with Guyther, who pleaded guilty, but was not placed 'on trial.

Representatives of four law firms Interested lii the Rice will contest have again visited the house on West Forty-fourth street, where Jones Is to give his testimony under an order of the Surrogate's Court. He was too ill to testify. Fear has arisen that the very measures adopted to prevent Jones from taking his own life may result In a fatal attack of. nervous prostration, compli cated with other ailments. His removal several weeks ago from the House of Detention to his present loca tion did not result in the hoped-for im provement in his health, and he declared that the constant presence of detectives is' responsible for his condition. He says he cannot sleep with a man watching at his bedside. SLAVES CHEAP IN CHINA. Millions of Human Beings Are Held In Bondage There. There are at a low estimate 10,000,000 human beings who are In servitude in the Celestial Kingdom. China has 80,000,000 families, and this makes one slave to ev ery eight families, says the London Ex press. The average Is greater in South China, where nearly every one owns slaves. There is scarcely a Chinese fam ily of means in Nankin, Canton, Macao or Amoy but possesses one or more slave girls. Slave boys are less common, but the girls are found In every street and In almost every house. Girls .fetch from $10 to $100 and upward In South China. They are sold at any age from 3 to 15, but most commonly at 7 or 8. The prettiest girls are the most desirable, as in case of marriage or sale they will bring more to the family which buys them. Most of the slave girls are bought to work about the house. It Is cheaper to buy a servant than to hire one, for if you take a girl of 8 you can have her services until she Is 15, getting eight years of work for nothing but her board and clothes, and then sell her for per haps ten times your original price. Theoretically there are no slaves In Hong Kong, as It is British territory, but in reality the city Is full of th'em. They are the maid 'servants and nurses of the Chinese. Every small-footed lady needs slaves to help her about, and In the houses of the rich, where there are many daughters, It is not uncommon to find from 20 to 30 .slaves In a single family. Female slaves are often presents from one man to another, and not Infrequently they form a part of the bridal outfit. They are commonly bought as secondary wives and often as teachers. There are localities in China where the girls are noted for their beauty. The cit ies of Yahg-Ctiau and Su-Chau .re as fa mous for tearing handsome girls as Is Georgia In the Caucasus, front where rich Turks so often obtain their wives. There are persons in these cities who make a business of raising slave girls. They search the country about for promising young girls and put them through a regular course of training. They have farms where the slaves are taught to sing, play upon musical Instruments and to acquire other accomplishments which, added to beauty, will cause them to sell for high prices to the rich man darins. These girls are chiefly the daugh ters of poor people or the daughters of slaves. It is common for a man to purchase his wife. Indeed, there are more wives ac quired in this way than In any other. Every man in China has a right to as many wives as he can maintain, and a secondary wife is cheaper than a hired servant. The first wife Is the legal one, but the others have their rights, although they are practically slaves. The man who is addicted to the opium habit will sell his children, and not In frequently his wife, to supply his appe tite. Wives are sometimes sold by gam bling husbands, being put on the turn of a card or the rake-out of the cash at fan-tan. There are slave brokers In all the large Chinese cities. Their business. Increases at times of famine, and. the starvation which lately prevailed In North China caused many parents to sell their children. With some it was a question of allowing them to starve or selling them. The re sult Is that girl babies are a drug on in the market. Think of buying a baby for a shilling! This Is the price which one of the Infant asylums of Shanghai Is said to pay for them. This is a philanthropic institution, and the children are bought as a matter ot-charity and religion. They are reared surrounded by Christian influences, are taught all sorts of domestic duties, and when they arrive at the proper age are given respectable husbands. The brokers, as a rule, do not buy ba bies. The cost of rearing them and the risk of death are too great. They prefer to have girls or boys of 8 years and up ward. A Battle of the Bees. Ladles' Home Journal. One colony of wild honey bees Jess than a mile away had survived the famine of, the 'previous Summer, and In July, made desperate by lack of forage, certain of their wanderers discovered my hive, and succeeded In sneaking by the sentries and in getting away again with honey bags filled with plunder undetected. Returning later with others of their tribe they were discovered and driven off. But the whole colony of forest dwellers was now eager for booty and came In overpowering force. I narrowed the entrance to the hive and my bees defended It valiantly; the fighting was fierce until long after dark, and In the morning It was again renewed, and finally the defendants were defeated with heavy losses. The survivors were compelled to go into bondage and assist their victors to carry away the captured honey to the woods, and before the midsummer sun was half way up the sky, the hive stood silent and deserted, save for a few loitering pilferers crawling about the torn and empty coihbs, searctUng among the dead for a last drop of honey. The queen, I presume, must have been killed, for she certainly would never have consented to accompany the enemy with' the other prisoners. Yet I waB unable to find her among the dead, and believe that she died fighting in the open and dropped into the grass. Estate of Charles H. Hoyt. NEW YORK, June 8. The estate of Charles H.

Volodyovski, Winner of the Derby, Was Leased by Whitney From Lady Meux. LONDON. June 8. London is still talk ing of the Derby and the Oaks. The dis cussion of the relative merits of American and British methods of training and rid ing has broken out anew. It must be confessed that the British comments are generally very fair. They sorrowfully admit the superiority of America on ev ery point. The Sporting Times says: "The Derby has been won by a French horse and an American jockey, but never until Wednesday was it won by a horse that had other than an English Jockey in the saddle. Whatever our horses might be. the supremacy of our jockeys was deemed complete. But that fallacy Is now exploded. Thus two records were broken, viz.: A victory for a jockey who was not a subject of the King, and the running of the race in the fastest time on record. The Derby was an Anglo American triumph, but -not so that of the Oaks, which was American, pure and simple. It is a fact that rivalry ran high In America last year between Mr. Whitney and Mr. Keene, almost amount ing to bad blood, when a colt of Mr. Whit ney's beat Olympian for tltfe Futurity. Under the circumstances. It Is not a lit tle singular that Mr. Whitney should have won the Derby and Mr. Keene the Oaks. To add to the American triumph, the Tammany Chieftain, Croker, rart third in the Oaks, while an American jockey rode the winner of the Derby, and the first three In the Oaks were rid den by Jockeys of that nationality. Hen ry, who was Imported by Mr. Keene, who brought Slpan to this country, has made a rare beginning." The papers have printed New York dis patches saying that Mr. Whitney would take Volodyovski to America, but he can not do that. He has simply leased the horse for 5000 cash and half of what the horse might win at 3 and 4 years of age, after which he was to be returned. Had Lady Meux careo, to sell the colt outright on an offer that was made, he would now stand at 25.000. the offer be ing 15,000 down and 10.000 more If he won the Derby. In these matters, she has not looked on money at all. Her great desire was that, as Hugglns had borne the jieat of the day, he should reap the reward. For that reason she accept ed an offer that would admit of Volodyov skl's remaining In his stable. The only thing that might have altered all this was If King Edward had continued to be Prince of Wales. But for his acces sion to the throne, we would now see him credited with -what no living man has been credited with, viz., three Derby winner?. Lady Meux is a very public spirited woman. She paid fully for a battery of guns, and the public Is little aware of the tons of stores and comforts she has caused to be sent to the troops in South Africa. She has a splendid col lection of Nelson relics, Including Lady Hamilton's jewelry. When Temple Bar was removed, Lady Meux saved the ma terials from being broken up for side walks, had every stone numbered, and now old Temple Bar. exactly as it was in the Strand forms the principal approach of her estate at Theobald Park. Fabulous sums were won on Cap and Bells IPs victory In the Oaks. The com missioners had literally unlimited orders to back the filly as long as a decent price was obtainable, and every American won, and the women that saw Foxhall Keene for a week were advised to back the horse.

In a letter dated February 11th, he says: "Since writing that editorial several per sons have called at my office to learn whether it was really a fact or only an advertisement. I have assured them that it was written entirely without the know ledge of the manufacturers, without prom ise of favor or fear of contradiction.
