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, 14,5966, an increase of
63,434 since 1900.
Alaska, 64,366, 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 6,139,336 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,-
602,061.
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 pablic
soon, together with the exact total
population of the United Staes.
Population of the Islands of Hawaii
is as follows:
Hawaii, 65,382; Kauai, and Niyhua,
23,962; Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawe and
Molokai, 29,762; Oahu, including Hon­
olulu district, 82,028; Kalawao, 786.
Population of cities:
Superior,
Wis., 40,308, an increase of 9,293;
Augusta, Ga., 41,040, in increase of
1,599.
Douglas, Aris.—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 reporta 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 handa 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 Fortins, 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-
ror 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.

Oswego, N. 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 hands aboard.
Woman Makes Hard Trip.
Seward, Alaska—A party of seven
persons, including one woman, the first
to come out over the winter trail, ar­
rived here from the Innoko and Idit-
arod districts, having made the trip in
19 days’ actual traveling time. Mem­
bers of the party report that more than
600 people are coming out over the
trail this winter, bringing several hun­

them. Several consignments of gold
from the Iditarod for Seattle banks

the instance of the Hague and Hills es­

is alleged that the land, donated to the

should always be used for railway pur­
poses, has been diverted in part to
other uses by the company.
Oil Men Criticise Idea.
Los Angeles—Secretary Ballinger’s
recommendation that the state regulate

of the oil men.
“ We might just as

modities,” said 8. C. Graham. “ If we
can procure a proper disposition of the

BRIEF REPORT OF THE DAILY
WORK OF NATION’S LAWMAKERS
CONGRESS MEETS.
Republicans are Gloomy; Democrats
and Insurgents Rejoice.
Washington, Dec. 6.—“ 0, wondrous
change" was the sentiment felt today
by many Republicans and expressed by
the Democrats when the closing session
of the 61st congress was opened.
In the senate the first rap of the
gavel sounded the knell of Senator
Beveridge, who will be replaced by
Kern. It was as dismal for Aldrich
and Hale, whose reign of dictatorship
ends with this assembly. For Carter,
of Montana, Dick, of Ohio, and Kean,
of New Jersey, the session is just as
foreboding, this congress marking
their last term as national lawmakers.
While joy prevailed on the Demo­
cratic side, goom overhung many a Re­
publican head. Among the leaders for
whom this session writes a death war­
rant are Burkett, of Nebraska, Bur­
rows, of Michigan, Depew, of New
York, Dick, of Ohio, Flint, of Califor­
nia, Frazier, of Tennessee, Hale, of
Maine, Piles, of Washington, Scott, of
West Virginia, and Warner, of Mis­
souri.
While gloom pervaded the senate,
the house appeared grief-stricken, the
havoc to be wrought in the upper body
not equaling the downfall that awaits
the representative chamber. Speaker
Cannon today began his last period of
rule over the lower house and for many
of his colleagues this session is a fare­
well before enforced retirement.
Among those is Tawney, of Minnesota,
chairman of the appropriation commit­
tee.
With the Democrats and even the
insurgents the situation is different.
For the Democrats joy is unconfined,
thiB session of congress being a pre­
cursor of greater things, of which the
predicted rise to the speaker’s chair of
Champ Clark is the foremosL
Sure of control of the next house,
the Democrats are jubilant and Bmiles
were worn today by Bourbons who,
heretofore, wore gloom even in merry
sessions. The insurgents, too, partook
of the elation of the Democrats, as the
turn of affairs brought about by the
recent election enables them to com­
mand respectful attention in the Re­
publican caucuses where heretofore
they were spurned as outcasts.
No business was transacted, both
branches meeting merely to appoint a
joint committee formally to appraise
the president that the legislative
branch of the government was ready to
proceed, to call the rolls and to adjourn
after adopting resolutions to the mem­
ory of members who had died since
congress last met.
Tuesday, December 6.
Washington, Dec. 6.—Congress con­
vened at noon today and shortly after­
ward the annual message of President
Taft was sent In and its reading begun
in both houses.
The members, who
had been provided with printed copies
of the document in advance, paid close
attention as the reading clerks droned
out the message.
The various recommendations of the
president for the enactment of laws he
deemed desirable were received with­
out any demonstration, but it was evi­
dent from the attention that was paid
to the reading that they were being
carefully followed by the lawmakers.
Greatest interest was displayed in
the president’s recommendations Re­
garding the tariff.
The president’s
statement that the tariff board would
not be ready to report during the pres­
ent session, but that it would report
probably before the opening of the
next regular session caused a buzz of
comment.
The reference to criticisms of the
tariff bill, some of which he called
justifiable, some unfounded and Borne
misrepresentations, was received with
careful attention.
The recommenda­
tion for a revision of the tariff, sched­
ule by schedule, and that it be treated
more as a business question, the rates
based on the actual difference in for­
eign and home cost of production, was
also closely followed.
Considerable significance was at­
tached to the president's warning to
congress that its co-operation was
necessary to keep the revision to a
schedule by schedue consideration and
not to reopen the whole bill. This
warning came after a part of the mes­
sage saying that the tariff board would
likely report before the next regular
session.
For the first time in 50 years
the house was opened today without
prayer. Chaplain Couden did not ar­
rive until after the house had been in
session several minutes. He offered a
brief prayer after reaching the speak­
er's desk.
In the opinion of seven Republican
members, a majority ot the committee.
Secretary Ballinger "honestly and
faithfully performed the duties of his
h gh office with an eye single to the
public in te rest”
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 mehod 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.
A motion then was made to substi­
tute the Democratic report for the re­
port agreed upon by the seven Repub­
licans. This was voted down, 7 to 5.
It was agreed after the majority report
had been adopted that all three should
be presented at once in each house and
printed together. Under this arrange­
ment the dissenting reports have equal
standing with the majority report be­
fore the two houses. An order for 30,-
000 copies of the report was made by
the senate.
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 dogs 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 aa 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."
AFTER "BATHTUB TRUST."
Combina Controlled 86 Per Cent of
Enameled Ironware Product.
Detroit, Mich.—The anti-trust cam­
paign of Attormey General Wicker-
sham shifterd to Detroit this week
with the result that indictments were
returned by the Federal grand jury
against ten firms and 32 individuals
alleged to have secured control of 86
per cent of the annual output of enamel
ironware, bathtubs, sinks, lavatories,
etc., in the United States.
The criminal proceedings grew oat
of a civil suit to dissolve the alleged
combination begun by the government
in the Federal court, at Baltimore.
Hearings were held in Chicago, Pitts­
burg and New York within the last 40
days.
The evidence adduced was presented
to the grand jury and Edwin P.
Grossvenor, special assistant to the at­
torney-general, United States District
Attorney Watson, of Detroit, and
Joseph Darling, special agent of the
department of justice.
Secret hear­
ings began several days ago and noth­
ing was given out until the indictments
were handed down.
It is charged that as the result of a
ten days’ meeting at Mount Clemens,
Mich., last April, a fund of $7,000 was
subscribed to set in motion a plan that
resulted in giving the ^defendants con­
trol of 16 manufacturers and nearly
400 jobbers, representing an outpat of
approximately $10,000,000 a year.
Both the civil suit started at Balti­
more and the criminal proceedings here
have been instituted under the Sher­
man anti-trust law.

"Natural causes" explained the
death, according to Dr. George L.
West, a district medical examiner,
who was summoned a few hours after
Mrs.’ Eddy died.

added that the more immediate cause
was pneumonia.

WAIST LINES ARE NO MORE.
Chicago Dress Manufacturers Elimi­
nate Them in New Models.
Chicago — Women’s waist lines,
which have been wandering from their
arms to their knees for some time,
have now disappeared altogether. At
the convention of the National Cloak,
Suit & Skirt Manufacturers, models
for 1911 were displayed, and there is
no suggestion of a waist line in any ot
the newest things. This not only ap­
plies to gowns, but to cloaks and coats
as well. New woman will have no
waist, but will appear in silhouette
lines.
True to their promise, manufactur­
ers have discarded the hobble and all
its ilk. In new gowns there is no sug­
gestion whatever of tightening at the
ankles or knees. Instead there are
many pleats, all cunningly devised, in­
serted at odd places, which flare out
delightfully when the wearer is in mo­
tion, but are completely invisible at
other times.
WILL IS NOT OPPOSED.
Mrs. Eddy’s Son Assents to Bequests
—Church Will Get Fortune.
Chicago—George Washington Glov­
er, son of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
will not contest the will of the founder
of Christian Science, he indicated in
Chicago, and his close family friend,
John C. Ryan, made the same state­
ment in a positive manner.
Mr. Glover said he was not going to
assume any “ hostile attitude,” and
Mr. Ryan made the open declaration
that there would be no fight on the
will, which leaves Mrs. Eddy’s $2,000,-
000 fortune to the Christian Science
church.
“ The estate was settled, so far aa
Mr. Glover is concerned, two years

FIGHTING
Peace Commission Closely Followed
By Government Troops.
El Paso, Tex.—A telegram from
Marfa, Tex., statee that apprehension
and excitement prevails at both Presi­
dio and Candelaria, 90 milea south of
the Texas side of the river, owing to
the revolutionary disorders reported on
the Mexican side.
Nothing definite
has yet been learned of the reported
fight at Ojinaga Saturday night. Fir­
ing has been heard at intervals, but so
far as can be learned there haa been no
loss of life.
Members of the peace commission
returned to Chihuahua and reported
that their work was greatly embarrass
ed by the fact that soldiers followed at
their heels. At Guerrero, just as they
were beginning to talk with the insur-
rectos, a peon arrived with word that
the soldiers were on the way, whereup­
on the meeting promptly came to an
end.
