This is the proper time to have these
figures before US, IS in the next day or two
the real majority ir that State will be
known. Unless the Republicans carry
Maine by over $4,000 majority they can
make no capital out OF the result and must
acknowledge that their party is losing
ground. The majority in Vermont was
decreased, and yet boasts are made to the
contrary. Now, with the figures before us,
let it be seen whether the relative strength
between the two parties is kept up in

The correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes
NJ. Thiers left Paris three DAYS
ago for Cannes, where he is going
to remain some time, and on the
route stayed forty-six hours at
Marseilles TO rest before continuing
the journey. Despite the efforts
of the local papers hostile to M.
Theirs, it is certain that the illus
trious statesman received an enthu.
Siastic welcome to his native city ;
that the crowd never ceased to fol-
low him, to station themselves
under his windows and to applaud
the hberator of French territory.
The visitors to him were 50 numer-
Gus that he was soon Obliged to
4, eek his door against them. The
Congress Of 0rientalists sitting at
present at Marseilles, presided over
by NJ. de LesSeps, begged N.
Theirs to honor their meetings
with his presence, which, however,
NJ. Thiers, latigued by his journey,
was obliged to deny them, Taking
a drive in the evening, NJ. Thiers
was again followed by a crowd.
He remained foF time at the door
and shook hands with th0so who
pressed around him, begging them
to interpret his emotion to the
multitude who were holoring their
fellow-eitizen with such touching
enthusiasm. The special telegram
l have received on this subject esti-
mates the number of persons asy
sembled during the day along the
route Of NJ. Thiers at 10000. The
same telegram adds that people
were struck by NJ. Thiers's faiigued
appearance. Despite vi attempts
10 bring about the contrary, 1t deee
not appear that single disagreed
bic circumstance Warred the well
come of the ex-President, and one
must praise the town which gave
birth to NJ. ThieFg, and which has
made itself worthy Of the honor by
giving to him when fallen from
power q reception it was unable to
extend TO him when le was at the

DisposItion of the Jews In Europ,

Disposition of the Jews in Europe.
Jerusalem does not contain more
than 5000 or 5000 Jews, and that
race is rather more numerous in
North Africa than in Judea. There
are scarcely any Jews in Italy or
Spain, and in Great Britain they do
not form more than one in thou
sand of the inhabitants. In France
they are in the proportion of four
to a thousand of the whole popula-
ton, but this comparatively high
proportion is due to the fact Tat
the Jews are very numerous in the
departments on the German from
tier.
In the annexed provinces of
Alsace and Lorraine the Jews num-
Der 40,92S out of a total population
of 100000, while in Switzerland
there are only 7O37 Jews to total
population Of more than 100000.
Germany, including the Polish
provinces and Alsace-Lorraine, con-
tainS no more than 512,160 Jews !;
while in Austria they number l.
$4,000, 3.8 per centum of the
whole population. Nearly a third
Of the Austrian Jews inhabit the
province of Galicia, where they
form nearly an eighth of the whole
population, and where, at the rate
of increase observed during the
last twenty years, they will event
ually be an absolute majority. The
G3,000,O00 inhabitants of Russian
Europe comprise 1,S29,100 Jews,
who, until the recent decree author
iziug them to reside in any part of
the empire, were confined to
certain districts in Southern
Russia, to Courland and the ancient
provinces of Poland. More than
10000 of the Russian Jews re-
side in the Polish provinces, and as
the inhabitants of the provinces
number but i2,113,OS5, they form
more than eleven per centum of
the whole population, outnumber-
ing the Poles, properly called, by
nearly 100000. The Jews are still
more numerous, proportionally, in
the kingdom of Poland itself, there
being 703, 200, thirteen per centum,
in a total population of 5,7O6,OOO.
Ia 1876 Hamburg contained l3,457
Jews out of total population of
3O6,5O7; Berlin 27,565 out of 609,-
9Sl and st. Petersburg only 1912
out of $50, 1913; while in Warsaw
there were 72,776 Jews in q total
population Of 229,9O6. Their num-
bers have increased since, and they
now represent 35.9 per centum Of
the whole population.
