Census Bureau Announces Grand To tal for United States. Washington — Total population of the United States, exclusive of posses sions, approximately 91,549,500. To tals for these states were announced: Wyoming, 14,5965, an increase of 53,434 since 1900. Alaska, 64,356, an increase of 764. Hawaii, 191,909, an increase of 37,980. The states so far given have an ag gregate population of 85,362,725. This is an {increase of 20.4 per cent over the aggregate population contained by the same states in 1900. The five states ton reported had an aggregate population of 5,139,336 in 1900. If they maintain the growth of other states their aggregate will be brought up to 6,186,774, giving a grand total in the United States of 91,549,503. Even if there should be no gain at all the.total would be 90,- 502,061. Washington is expected to show an increase of almost 100 per cent, and Georgia is counted on to sustain the average, but, while Wisconsin prob ably will score a gain, it is not be lieved it will reach 20 per cent. There is no doubt the total will be over 91,000,000. The computation is confined to the United States proper. The population of Georgia, Wiscon sin, Washington and Montana, the only states for which figures have not yet been announced, will be made public soon, together with the exact total population of the United Staes. Population of the Islands of Hawaii is as follows: Hawaii, 55,382; Kauai, and Niyhua, 23,952; Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawe and Molokai, 29,762; Oahu, including Hon olulu district, 82,028; Kalawao, 785. Population of cities: Superior, Wis., 40,308, an increase of 9,293; Augusta, Ga., 41,040, in increase of 1,599. • Douglas, Aril.—Guerrero, the larg est city in the state of Chihuahua, with a population of 12,000, is now in the hands of. the rebels, according to information which has been received here. Following a combined attack, which took place after the departure of a train bearing the peace officials, the Federal troops are reported to have surrendered. The rebels have elected provisional officers to govern the city. It was first reported that the jefe politico was killed in the final charge on the city, but later reports are to the effect that he and his family are pris oners and unhurt. The telegraph line between Guerrero and Chihuahua is now in the hands of the rebels. Following a conference at San An dres between the peace commissioners and rebels by Castillo Herrera, the soldiers sent out from Chihuahua were halted at Fortina, near San Andres, until President Diaz shall act on the promise of truce offered by the rebels providing certain changes are made in the system of taxation and officials in Coahuila. Following the resignation of Gover nor Sanchez, of Chihuahua, Secretary of State Guillermo Pallas has also re signed in favor of Rafael Alvarez and ■other important changes in the state government have already taken place.

Y.—The steamship John Sharpies, of Chicago, grounded on the shore of Galloup island, while going from Chicago to Ogdensburg. A snow storm was raging and waves rolled over her, flooding the boiler room and putting out the fires. Not until next day was the stranded vessel sighted by the steamship Hinckley and by that time, driven from the vessel by intense cold, Mrs. George Russell, wife of the first mate, and half of the crew, had reached one of the islands. The Hinck ley took all handB aboard. Tornado Twirls Things. Silverton, Or.—A tornado, small in area, which passed about two miles southeast of this city struck the house occupied by Arthur Buell and family, hurled it from its foundations and turned it partially around. Aside from breaking nearly all the dishes in the house and slightly injuring some of the furniture, no damage was done. A barn belonging to A. Peterson on an adjoining farm was also blown from its foundiations and fences leveled. Propose Auto Battalion.

Washington, Dec. 13. — The senate today listened to the first tariff debate of the session and while the discussion was largely academic, it served to de velop the important fact that Senators Lodge and Aldrich are willing so join in the piecemeal revision of the tariff. The subject came up on a motion to refer to the committee on rules the Cummins joint resolution providing for the limitation of the power to amend bills looking to the modification of paragraphs and schedules ox the Payne- Aldrich bill. Cummins occupied the floor in sup port of the provision, but he was in terrupted so frequently that the dis cussion partook largely of the nature of a running debate. It was in this discussion that Lodge and Aldrich found occasion to announce their posi tions. The Iowa senator disavowed any in tention of opening up a general tariff discussion. Still he found it difficult to avoid a general expression on tariff questions. “It is well known,” he said, “that I consider excessive and inexcusable many of the duties levied by the law of 1909. I know also that many people believe the law should be amended. During the recent political struggle I did not hear a single utterance by a Republican that did not admit that the law contains duties that ought to be changed and that it is the duty of con gress to act speedily. “The real issue,” he said, “is whether we shall so amend our rules as to .»ermit the amendment of the law schedule by schedule.” Monday, December 12. Washington, Dec. 12. — Senator Borah, of Idaho, today introduced a bill to remove all doubt as to the mean ing of section 5 of the $20,000,000 ir rigation law of last session, which broadly prohibits opening to entry of any lands on government projects until the farm units have been established and water is available for irrigation. Senator Borah’s bill provides that on existing projects when an entry has been relinquished, lands embraced in that entry may be again entered. Sec tion 5 remains in full force and effect, however, regarding lands on new pro jects. With but one protest heard, that of Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, the senate today confirmed the nomination of Ed ward Douglas White, of Louisiana, to be chief justice of the United States Supreme court. Accompanying Justice White’s name in the list of nominations were those of Justice Willis Vandevanter, of Wy oming, now a judge of the eighth ju dicial circuit, and Joseph R. Lamar, of Georgia, formerly of the Supreme court of his state, to be associate jus tices of the Supreme court of the Unit ed States. The ocean mail bounty bill came up as the unfinished business in the sen ate today, but the senate laid it aside temporarily. This course was taken on motion of Senator Gallinger to accommodate oth er business and does not mean that the bill will not be pressed later. The senate today testified a protocol changing the dates fixed for the arbi tration with Mexico of the Chamizal case, which involves title to the Cham izal tract situated between El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. The pension appropriation bill carry ing $153,688,000 was ordered reported to the house by the appropriations committee. have been received, it can be authori tatively stated that there is a general impression- among congressmen that congress will reject the constitution unless the provision for the recall of judges is removed. Friday, December 9. Washington, Dec. 9.—The house committee on agriculture was request ed today to modify the law giving Western states 25 per cent of the re ceipts from forest reserves within their boundaries by conferring upon the sec retary of agriculture authority to go into the various states and ascertain whether this money, when so paid to the states by the general government, is being expended as provided by law for schools and roads, or is being used otherwise, and in case he is of the opinion that the money is not being used for these specific purposes, to take it from the states and turn it over to the forest service for their own use. Representative Hawley and other Western members of the committee are decidedly opposed to this proposal, regarding it as a move to deprive the states of that share of the forestry fund to which they are legally entitled. They fear that such a provision, if in serted in the bill, would result in di verting this entire fund into the coffers of the forest service. Charges of irregularity in regard to the allotment of certain Indian lands in Oklahoma were made in the house of representatives today by Chairman Burke, of the Indian affairs commit tee. He said that misrepresentations had led to the passage of an act for the allotment of 100 acres to James S. Rowell, a white man from Connecticut, who had married an Indian woman and received an allotment near Lawton, Okla., which a United States inspector declared to be worth $75,000 to $100,- 000. It was decided Jto let the ques tion of Rowell’s citize®iip go to the courts. The Indian appropriation bill, as finally passed, carried appropriations of $8,277,985, or $97,000 more than recommended. Thursday, December 8. Washington—Currency reform, ex tension of the scope of the national banking laws, in the event of no im mediate general changes in the mone tary system; civil service require ments, a customs service free from “practical” politics: businesslike methods in the daily transactions of the government and a general abolition of red tape wherever it clogs the wheels of the government’s business, are among the recommendations con tained in the annual report of Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury, presented to congress today. The expenses of the government in the fiscal year 1912, for which this ses sion of congress is asked to appro priate, are estimated at $630,494,013.- 12. The estimated expenditures of the Panama canal are given as $56,- 920,847.69, making a total of $687,- 414,860.81. The estimates, if carried out, represent a net savings of about $13,000,000 in the executive depart ments, as compared with the appro priations for the current fiscal year. Receipts for 1912, Secretary Mac Veagh estimates, will be $680,000,000, which would leave an ordinary surplus of around $50,000,000. If the treas ury should continue to pay for the Pan ama canal out of the cash drawer, as at present, such a surplus would be turned to a deficit of $7,414,860.81. Secretary MacVeagh expresses the hope that the monetary question will come into congress detached from sec tional or political considerations. “Our system can fairly be called a panic-breeding system,” he says, "whereas every other great national banking and currency system is pan ic-preventing. As long as we continue under our present system, we are liable to panics, and the vast depreda tions of panics reach Republicans and Democrats and all parts of the conutry alike. Panics are no longer necessary and no longer respectable. It is for the government to say whether we shall have panics in the future or not. It is a mere matter of choice.” Among those who have entered the United States senate and made no- table careers Sena tor Joseph W. Bal- ley of Texas stands with the first. The prog ress and evolution of Mr. Bailey since he entered congress In 1891, when only twenty eight years old, have been among the most interest ing features of our national life during that period. Personally, Senator Bailey Is a man of a very genial disposition. His most conspicuous personal trait is loyalty to his friends, and he has always been found to be sincere, frank and candid. The senator is one who delights in retirement, and seldom If ever is he found frequenting the clubs and hotel lobbies where his political friends are wont to congregate. He is unconven tional in many ways and he cares lit tle if at all for even the simpler man ifestations of social life. One of the laudable traits of Mr. Bailey’s charac ter Is his love of ths home and the family. When his colleagues are en joying the luxuries and pleasures of their various clubs he delights In be ing at home surrounded by the peace ful Influence of his family. His fa vorite hobby is the raising of fine oat- tie and blooded horses, and it la one of his ambitions to conduct the best farm in the land for this purpose. Among the rank and file of the sen ate Bailey is probably the most en thuslastlc patriot. The tire of his or atory when speaking on tho consollda- tion of Oklahoma And Indian Terri- tory, besides eliciting a burst of spon taneous applause from the galleries, thrilled and astounded his confreres. In his peroration on this occasion he branched off into an Impromptu trib ute to the Lone Star state and his commanding delivery and beautiful language proved beyond question that oratory still thrives In the federal congress and that the heart of true patriotism is still a living one. WESTERN CHILD WONDER SPEAKS TEN LANGUAGES Winifred Stackvflle Stoner, daugh ter of Col. J. B. Stoner, of the United States marine hospital service, is regarded as a rival of young Sldls, the special student in Har vard who is a genius in mathe matics. Winifred, or "Cherie,” as her mother calls her, is only 8 years old. She can speak 10 different languages fluently and uses the different tongues as she chats with her dolls and plays with children. She reads almost constantly, and has read the majority of Shake speare’s plays. She is also a poet, having written verse in several lam guages. The mother says the ability of the girl to speak French, Spanish, Latin, Esperanto, Japanese, Russian, Polish, German and Italian ls due to careful training from the time she was a baby. ‘‘Her advancement,” says her moth- er, ‘‘is not due to anything except the way in whloh she was educated. I began with her when ehe was three weeks old, developing her mentally and physically, and the effect uf the teaching and methods is apparent. The method used is the same aB was employed In training William James Sid is. the Boston boy. I started from the first to teach the child the best, to cultivate her taste and to Improve her mind. I do not have her ‘show off’ and I know she 's as normal as any child of the same age, but I would like to have her work known for the bene fit of other kiddies, for any child may be trained the same way with the same probable result. The secret is to make their training the same as play for them.” Saturday, December 10. Washington, Dec. 10. — The house this afternoon passed the rivers and harbors appropriation bill, carrying approximately $31,000,000. Debate on the measure was very brief and only one amendment was adopted. The house then adjourned to Monday. Following are the principal appro priations for the Pacific Coast: Los Angeles harbor, $270,000; Oak land harbor, $150,000; San Joaquin river, $25,000; Sacramento and Feather rivers, $225,00Q; Coos Bay, Or., $40,000; Columbia river, Celilo falls to Snake river, $25,000; Dalles rivet» to Celilo falls, $600,000; lower Willamette, river, $105,000; mouth of Columbia river, $950,000; Willamette above Portland, $20,000; Grays Har bor, $30,000; Puget Sound $20,000; Snohomish river $75,000. The Indian appropriation biii, carry- ng approximately» $8,000,000, passed also. The senate was'not in seession today. Governor Harmon of Ohio, Henry Watterson of Kentucky, and former Representative Hay of Illinois, went before the house committee on indus trial arts and expositions and explain ed the memorial project planned for Put in-Bay and Lake Erie, the scene of Commodore Peary’s naval victories. They asked that the government con tribute $250,000. The committee will act upon this subject during this ses sion of congress and it is beleived will report a bill carrying the necessary ap propriation. Although refusing to comment on the proposed constitution of Arizona until printed copies of the document Wednesday, December 7. Washington—The Ballinger-Pinchot investigating committee, after 11 months’ work, made its final report to congress today. In the opinion of seven Republican members, a majority of the committee, Secretary Ballinger “honestly and faithfully performed the duties of his high office with an eye single to the public interest.” In the opinion of the four Demo crats, Mr. Ballinger “has not been true to the trust reposed in him as sec retary of the interior and should be requested by the proper authorities to resign.” The Democratic members, led by Senator Fletcher, of Florida, agreed to this -nehod of getting the reports be fore congress. Senator Fletcher first raised the point of order that the com mittee had already approved the report that was made public at Minneapolis. This point was overruled by Chairman Nelson. Arkansas Shows Growth. Washington — Population statistics of the thirteenth census, issued by the census bureau, include figures for the following states: Arkansas, 1,574,- 449, an increase of 262,885, or 20 per cent over 1,311,564 in 1900. The in crease from 1890 to 1900 was 183,385, or 16.3 per cent. South Carolina, 1,- 515,400, an increase of 175,084, or 13.1 per cent over 1,340,316 in 1900. The increase from 1890 to 1900 was 189,167, or 16.4 per cent. Secretary Ballinger Reports.

The people of the city are not the only ones who pay tax money for the building and Improvements of streets and highways that never is spent on the roadways. And this condition in the country gave John Winters a chance to say one of his occasional good things. It was a town meeting. The people of his vil lage could not understand how the money appropriated for roads had vanished with such negative results, and some of them atlenued this meeting of the select men to dis cuss the matter. •'I’d just like to say ene thing,” he drawled, regardless of the fact that he had Interrupted an indignant neighbor, "I don’t want to make any fuss whatsoever, but I’d just like to ask this honorable board of publlo highwaymen”— And that was as far as he got A roar of laughter drowned his fur ther words and showed his efforts in the red faces of the "highway men”—and, later, in the improve ment of the before-mentioned road way.—Judge. CAKE IS RARE RULES THAT WILL HELP PROVE COOK’S WORK. IM That Few Families Know What Good Cake le Is Statement That Will Bo Resented, But It la None the Loes True. Few families know what good cake is. This statement will be resented, but is none the less true. It la equal ly true that few professional cooks make as good cake as that baked by the mistress of the house or one of her daughters. As every one should know how to bake delicious cake whether she makes use of it or not, here are a few rules that are essential: Use the best materials. So-called cooking butter and stored eggs will make poor cake, and let no economi cal one persuade you otherwise. What is known as soft A sugar makes a cake of nicer grain than granulated or powdered sugar. In measuring stint rather than heap up the cup or the batter is coarse grained. Baking powder should be measured by gently rounding, not heaped or flat, teaspoonfuls. With sour milk recipes use baking soda and cream of tartar rather than baking powders. Never guess at measurements. Most recipes give exact proportions—which a good cook sometimes modifies. A cup, when not defined, usually means the stone china kitchen coffees cup that holds a little more than half a pint The richer the milk the better ths cake. More than Is called for is oft en permissible to keep the batter from getting too thick. Stinting flour is the secret of good cake. Few realize this, as can be told by two persons making up the same recipe with results totally dif ferent for the cook who is heavy on flour. It is safe to allow a quarter to half a cup less flour on most recipes. Judgment is Important in cake mix ing. Flours differ in heaviness and eggs in size; therefore to kesp the batter from being too stiff see that it runs easily from the spoon, yet is not "runny.” Thinning must be done before baking powder and whites of eggs are in. Have all ingredients ready before beginning to mix a cake. Once start ed it should go into the oven quickly. One mixing bowl and two smaller ones for eggs will be needed; also a wooden paddle and a wire egg beater Sift into batter before measuring and put into batter through sifter. Get ready pans before starting cake. There is but one sure way to prevent sticking—paper the bottoms of pan and grease it, not the pan, which la only buttered on the edge. Many per sons use lard for greasing, but butter never tastes. Papering is no trouble if ten cents worth of yellow wrapping paper is bought and cut in leisure moments to fit your various shaped pans. Keep in an air-tight box in the kitchen closeL A good cake baker makes sure that her cake pans are not used for other purposes by keeping them under lock. In the same place have all the uten sils needed and there will be no de lays. Here also have an extra supply of baking powder, flavoring extracts, chocolate and the special sugar used. Dv sue gvL luvio than five pounds at a time of the latter, and see that it *s rolled and sifted before using. Pickled Oysters. Two hundred large oysters, one cup vinegar, one cup white wine, four teaspoons salt, six teaspoons whole peppers, one-quarter teaspoon mace. Drain and clean oysters, scald the liquor. Strain and add the above named Ingredients. Let boil up at once and pour, while boiling hot, over the oysters. After these have stood ten minutes pour off the llqior, which, as well as the oysters, sh'>u>d then be allowed to get cold. Put >n a jar and cover tight. Butter Cakes. Sift two cups of flour, with four level teaspoons of baking powder and one level teaspoon of salt. Rub into this two tablespoons of butter. Grad ually add three-fourths cup of milk. Roll out one-half inch thick as for biscuits. Bake on a hot griddle on top of stove, leaving room for them to rise Bake rather slowly and turn but once. «They will puff to double »be size they were when put on pan. Lamb Pudding. The cold meat from yesterday’s joint, bread crumbs, one tablespoon of butter, two eggs, a little gravy, pep per, salt and a pine t of nutmeg. Chop the ,cold lamb fine, season and wet up with a little good gravy. Mix in one- quarter as much crumbs and pour into buttered mold. Set in a pan of hot water, and cook covered in a good oven for one hour. Turn out and pour a little gravy over it Green Tomato Preserve. Wash and slice green tomatoes, al low three-quarters of a pound of sugar to each pound of tomato, together with one lemon cut in siloes and put be tween the layers of tomato; cook until thick, add a 25-cent jar of preserved ginger put through the food chopper.
