Census Report Places United States Fourth
in the World.
Washington, Jan. 9. The census
bureau today issued a report announc
ing that the population of the entire
United States .including all outlying
possessions, was 84,233,069 in the cen
sus year 1900. This is itemized as fol
lows :
Continental United States or
United States nrnner 75 QQ1 K75
Philippines 6,961,339
Porto Rico 953,234
Hawaii 154,001
Alaska fia kq?
Guam 9,000
American Samoa 6.100
Persons in the military and
naval service of the United
States outside of the ter
ritory of the United States
proper 91.219
These figures are based on the enu
meration of June 1, 1900. The report
says:
'A census of the Philippine islands
was in progress in 1896. when the in
surrection broke out and returns for
over two-fifths of the population were
found stored in Manila. These were
carefully tabulated, and the forego
ing estimate is based upon the result.
The figures for Porto Rico are taken
from the census of 1899 made by the
war department in consultation with
the census office. The figures for Ha
waii and Alaska and for persons
abroad in the military and naval ser
vice are from the results of the
twelfth census. Those from Guam are
an estimate .made in a report of the
war department, and that from Ameri
can Samoa an estimate reported to
the census office by the acting secre
tary of the navy
'The total population of the United
States at the close of the nineteenth
century was about 84,250,000. As the
population of the United States at the
beginning of the century was about
5,333,000 the nation has grown nearly
sixteen-fold in 100 years
There are but three countries
which now have a greater population
than the United States, namely, China,
the British empire and the Russian
empire.
