BALTIMORE, May 26. Tho right worthy
grand lodge of Good Templars adjourned last
night, Fraternal greetings were interchanged
with the national convention of young mems
Christian associations now in session in WASH
ington by telegraph. A memorial of the broth.
rem in England, praying for permission to or
ganlze similar supreme body, was favorably
acted upon. The new body will be called the
Worthy Grand Lodge. The books and supplies
used in Great Britain may be obtained there,
but the password must come from the right
worthy grand lodge of North America. The
second and third degrees were practically abolish
ed. The organization of temperance parties
wherever practicable, was recommended,

MATAMoRAs, Mexico, May II, via HAVANA,
26.-Rocha arrived before lIampico to-day, and
in the battle yesterday the rebel artillery reached
the federal position. The rebellion will be sup
pressed soon. Yesterday guerrillas collected
duties on the Toluca road. Juarez telegraphs
his fluctuations upon the completion of the tee-
graph, and says: "ln my name salute thepress

prayers to heaven so that with their co-Opera-
ton there may be prolonged line to the United
States, which will serve to bind in friendly re-
lations the two republics by frequent and in
Simultaneous communication"
SOUTH AMERICA.
AsPINwALL, May 21.-Through the interview
rcoso and Herrers, rebel leader, had an inter
view, and on the 18th articles Of peace were
signed. Correoso comedies to the revolutonists
the privilege of making minor government APP
pointments. The state is to pay the expenses of
the revolution. In the case of the MontiIo rev.
olutionsts, TO dsarm and disband, both parties
are dissatisfied, and more trouble is anticipated.
The rebels claim to be entitledsto belligerent
rights, and quote the article of the Colombian
convention justifying the seizure of Montijo.
The American consul not only denies these
rights, but calls the act of the seizure piratical
and has referred the question to Washington.
Salvador dates announce that peace prevails,
and Gonzales will remain president until the
expiration of his term in March next. The
presidential election will be held in October
The Peruvian government prohibits the ex-
port of silver bullion and national coin in con-

THE GREATEST OF CITIEs.-Perhaps the most
characteristic feature of civilization in this CEN
fury is the gathering of the people into great
cities. In every nation in Christendom the ten
dency to concentration in trade, industry, wealth
and fashion has been so strong that the most
important towns have, for several generations,
far outstrpped!the country districts in growth
and this tendency has not yet been checked but
seems to gain strength every year. England, as
the richest and most productive of all countries,
takes the lead also in this rapid DEVELOPMENT
of the chief centers Of population; and ITS larr-
est city, London, is the largest in the world
and the best example of that which all the prin.
cipal capitals in the world tend to become. The
decennial census Of the population of Great
Britain has just been taken; and cable dis
patch reports, as the most striking fact it has es
tablished, that the number of people in London
is found to be three and a quarter millions.
London has been for ages the principal town in
Great Britain, but its cosmopolitan importance
may be said almost to begin with the nineteenth
century.
Seven hundred years ago it was estimated to
contain forty thousand inhabitants a little more
than two hundred years ago it had but sixty
thousand, and in 1865 one-thrd ofthem were
destroyed by the plague. The first actual emu.
meration of the people was taken in 1901: and
at successive periods of ten years each from thai
time until now the census has been repeated
with the greatest care, and with the following
rasults.
