CHICAGO IS SECOND C ITY. Population Almost Doubles in Years—Fourth in World. 20 Washington— The population of Chi cago is 2,185,283, an increase of 486,- 708 or 28.7 per cent as compared with 1,698,575 in 1900. This announcement leaves Chicago ranking in population as the second city o f the United States and the fourth in the world. Chicago has almost doubled its popu lation since 1890, when the figures were 1,099,850. Its greatest growth during that period was between 1890 and 1900, when there was an increase of 54.4 per cent. Its increase in population during the last decade was not so great propor tionately as that of New York, the rate o f increase being 10 per cent less than that scored by the Eastern city. New York is yet ahead o f its closest rival by 2,581,550. Chicago, however, can claim distinc tion in having jumped from sixth to fourth place among the big cities on the globe, it is ioilowing on the heels of Paris, whose population by its cen sus in 1901 was 2,714,086. Chicago takes percedence over Tokio and Berlin by close margins. According to the census taken in each o f the two cities in 1908, Tokio had 2,085,160 and Ber lin 2,040,148. The population of New Orleans is 339,075, an increase of 51,971 or 18.1 per cent as compared with 287,104 in 1900. While New Orleans’ growth the last decade was only slightly below her percentage of increase of the de cade, the Crescent City through the rapid growth of other cities in the 100,000 class loses its position of 12th in the district of the country's largest cities and now occupies 15th position. Detroit, with a 63 per cent increase, Milwaukie, with 31 per cent, and New ark, with 47.2 per cent, all have jumped ahead of New Orleans in the number of inhabitants. Holyoke, Mass., has 67,730 people, an increase o f 12,018^or 26.3 per cent as compared with 45,712 in 1900. Lowell, Mass., has 106,294 people, an increase o f 11,326, or 11.9 per cent as compared with 94,969 in 1900. Pittsfield, Mass., has 32,121 people, an increase of 10,355, or 47.6 per cent as compared with 21,766 in 1900. American apples are bringing 8 to 12 cents a pound in England. UPRISING IS PREDICTED. Secretary of War Dickinson met with a hearty reception at Pekin. Professor Ross Expects Disturbance In China. Two freight trains met in head-on collision near Cairo, III., men. killing four President T aft will ask $2,000,000 to begin the fortification of the, Pana ma canal. The Spanish parliament is expected to fully endorse the policy of Premier Canalejas. Union and Confederate soldiers min gled at Grand Army reunion at A t lantic City, N. J. King Emmanuel, o f Portugal, has appointed 16 new peers, all supporters o f the present ministry. By an alliance with Bulgaria and Servia, Montenegro is elevated from a principality to the ranks of a full fledged kingdom. New Orleans is disappointed at the poor showing made in the census, and fears it may affect her chances for the 1915 Panama exposition. Three out o f 13 entries in the balloon contest which started at Indianapolis returned to earth within 24 hours, having made about 400 miles. Secretary Wilson pays postage on copies o f his speech which were sent through the mails, refusing to take advantage of the franking privilege. Captain Klaus Larsen, in a small motor boat, traversed Niagara rap ids for a distance o f 4% miles below the falls, but was finally thrown on the rocks and hauled ashore by a rope. The boat was lost. Charles M. Schwab, ex-president of the Steel trust, ssys that San Francis co is "obsessed with unionism," and that in case he gets the contract for a number of new battleships for China, they will not be built there. Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma, charges Roosevelt with insincerity. Roosevelt defends his "N e w Nat ionalism" in an address at Oyster Bay. Victoria, B. C.— Professor E. A. Ross, o f the sociology department of the University of Wisconsin, who has been making extended journeys through China during the past six months, studying sociological condi tions, has arrived here by the steamer Empress o f China. He said China was on the verge of a crisis, and the next few months would show whether there would be a great uprising, perhaps with much bloodshed, or a peaceable revolution. Professor Ross says there is a strong movement for reform, and that the younger element seeking the change is waiting to see what the prince regent will do. The reformers consider the attitude of Pekin more or less a sham to impress the powers and there is a disposition to look upon the Man- chu officials as obstacles in the way of the eagerly sought reforms. It is probable that Yuan Shi Kai will return to Pekin, and this would be the means o f preventing a rising if the reformers are satisfied that in his hands China would go forward. Cur rency reform will be a great boon, and the doing away with the growing of opium, a movement which is being energetically carried out, will also greatly aid China. Judge Calls Fee Too High. Los Angeles—Judge Rives, o f the probate court has refused to lend ju dicial approval to a contract granting attorneys for Beatrice Anita Turnbull- Baldwin, 50 per cent o f the amount they may recover for from the estate o f Elias Jackson Baldwin. Attorneys acting in behalf of Miss Turnbull- Baldwin, made the request for such a contract to authorize the employing of certain attorneys, with the agree ment to give them half of whatever should be recovered by litigation or compromise.

INDUSTHIM. DEVELOPMENT OF IHE STATE SHEEPMEN WORRIED. Umatilla Woolgrowers Fear Will Be Low. D ISPLAY A T GRESHAM. Prices Grange Plans to [Make Show Bigger and Better Than Ever. Pendleton— With the sheep shipping season at hand, Umatilla county sheep men are much concerned because not an Eastern buyer has so far appeared. They are beginning to fear that de mand is not as great as in past years, and that therefore good prices will be lacking. Every fall Umatilla county sheep men turn off all their surplus stock, and prepare for winter feeding. Sep tember is the month that they usually sell what lambs and old sheep they do not wish to keep through the the win ter and as that month has arrived, many of them are anxious, because the usual number of buyers are not on the ground. By this time [last year there were several buyers from the Middle West in the local fields, paying as high as $3.50 per head for ,lambs. This year there is not a buyer present outside of those living here, and the same quality of lambs which sold last fall for $3.50 are not worth more than $2.50. The drouth in the Middle Western states is given as the principal cause for the absence of buyers, as they have been accustomed to ship from here in the early fall, and then feed in the different states further east, before placing the mutton on the market |in Chicago, Kansas City and the other market centers. Fortunately, last fall local growers sold off more than the usual number of sheep and came through the hard win ter with its hay shortage with Hying colors. Gresham— A dahlia display in which more than 500 exhibits will be made is to be a feature of the fourth annual grange fair which will open here Sep tember 29. More than 300 distinct varieties of dahlias are to be shown. The display will include fall roses, sweet peas, asters and other late blooming flowers Mrs Clara Webb- Smith is superintendent o f the floral department, and her past successes are to be outdistanced easily this year. The displays in agriculture, horti culture, livestock, poultry, domestic science and art promise to be larger and of higher standard than ever be fore. As a matter of fact the manage ment of the fair has arranged for a larger and more representative exposi tion o f the resources o f the county than has ever been attempted at the three past fairs. It was planned to build a race track and conduct a series of races in con nection with the fair, but it was found that the time required to mature a track could not be taken before the dates set for the fair to open, so the venture was postponed until next year. TANG T AK E S REINS. Progressive Friend o f America sumes Control in China. Re Victoria, B. C.— Kokumin Shimbun, of Tokio, in the course of a long ar ticle on the change o f policy at Pekin (n recalling Tang Shau Y i and making overtures to Yuan Shia Kai to return, says the appointment foretells great development o f American influence in China in the future. The Kokumin says; " I t is out of the question to expect that the policy o f Tang Shao Y i, who secured his position as a representa tive of the Yuan party, will be favor able to Japan. Moreover, he is a no torious pro-American statesman and his appointment foretells the great de velopment o f American influence in China in the future. He represented Chins in America and made many promises in America regarding Man churia and railway questions. It will be interesting to watch the progress o f these dead promises." The Kokumin looks upon Tang Shao Y i as "one of the principal factors in diplomatic circles in the Far E ast," and considers him the enemy of Japan and friend of America. Tang Shao Y i, who was reinstated in his post o f minister o f communica tions last month, is decidedly progres sive. A fter hiB restoration the re gent, Prince Chun, issued a strict edict notifying viceroys and governors that foreign loans are indispensable in the development o f the imperial railway system, and instructing them to sup press anti-foreign agitation. Tang is an ardent friend o f America. BIG AIRSHIP BURNS Zeppelin VI Destroyed By Benzine Explosion and Fire Three o f Crew Hurt -Balloon an En tire Wreck—Had Been In Passenger Service. Baden Baden- -The latest type of Count Zeppelin's inventive genius met with disaster here when the dirigible balloon Zeppelin V I took fire after an explosion while being warped into her shed. A score or mors of men were engaged in the task of housing the air ship when a benzine tank in the rear gondola exploded, setting fire to an ad jacent compartment The explosion of this compartment was followed by the explosion of the 16 others. There was a gush of flames and the whole structure was destroyed in s few minutes. Three of the crew were injured. Nothing remained o f Count Zeppe lin's latest model except a tangled mass of aluminum frames. , The shed also caught fire, but the blaze was put out without serious dam age. Several workmen were .burned, but none fatally. The igniting of the benzine occurred while workmen were cleaning the ma chinery, during which the benzine holders were open. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained. Zeppelin VI, during the last 18 days, has made 34 passenger tripe, covering about 2,000 miles, and carrying more than 300 passengers. The flights of the dirigible were made regularly, oft en in unfavorable weather. This is the fifth serious accident which has befallen the Zeppelin d irig ibles. The Zeppelin VI was under charter of the Passenger Airship company, having replaced in the passenger ser vice the recently wrecked Deutschland. It was transferred from Friedrichshaf- en to this place, and after being fitted with improved propellers and new features, made a trial trip on August 19. It proved to be the speediest of its type, and it was announced that it would maintain a speed o f 38 miles an hour. The dirigible was reconstructed to erry 10 passengers, and in the last few days had made several trips. Many Americans were among the excursion ists. Baron Rudolph Goldsmidt-Roth- child had chartered the airship for the use of a private party. He had agreed to pay $500 for the first two hours of the excursion, and $250 for each ad ditional hour. INSURGENCY WINS. Poindexter Carries Washington Big Majorities. by Seattle, Sept. 14. — Insurgency swept the state of Washington yester day like a tidal wave. Poindexter is believed to have carried nearly every county in the state, with the possible exception o f Pierce. Late returns Indicate that Warbur- ton, insurgent, has carried the Second congressional district by a good plural ity over McCredie, incumbent. Humphrey has been defeated in the First district, and William La Fol- lette, o f Pullman, a cousin of Senator La Foil«tte and an insurgent, has been elected to succeed Poindexter. The vote of King county, with 47,- 000 voters registered, was probably only 30,000, and Poindexter’s plurality in the county is estimated at 6,000. Poindexter carried Judge Burke's own preinccL Incomplete returns from 30 polling places in Pierce county and Tacoma give Burke 41, Poindexter 1,376 and Ashton 1,336. A t this rate Pierce county will give Ashton a small major ity. Twenty-six precincts, city and coun ty, in Pierce county, give McCredie 339, Claypool 338 and Warburton 1,- 333. Poindexter’s plurality in Whatcom county is estimated at 2,000. Poindexter’s plurality in Clallam county is estimated at 300. A t Poindexter’s headquarters, his lead is estimated as high as 30,000.
