two were accused OF the actual
murder; and Midhat Pasha, Mahmoud
Damad, and Nouri Pasha of having
ordered the crime to be committed,
The wrestler and the gardener confessed
their confession was corrobOrated by ladies
of the harem, and it appears to be true, as
indeed, no one who knows Constantinople
ever doubted, that the late Sultan was
brutally murdered. 1t is very probably
true, also, that the ruling " Commission"

Pashas named, and Hussein Avni, the Sera-
skier, gave the order to kill him, as the
murderers would not have run the risk
without their prote elton but the evidences

or suspicious. As regards Midhat, the
heaviest testimony was that he bad admit

The. accounts from Russia grow
bewildering. It is said that another
party has sprung up, which differs
both from the Nihilists and the
Revolutionary Committee, and will
make war on the autocracy by pro-
pagandism among the people, and
not by assassination. 1t recently
informed the Gar, in a printed let
ter, hat he need not fear any Ion
ger, for owing to his measures,
Russia was getting ripe for "a reyo-
luton. Two sets of ominous facts
have been published this week.
One is, that before the Imperial
family went to Peterhof, information
was received which induced the po-
lice to- search the Imperial Yacht.
Three officers were found in posses
sion OF dynamite bombs, and it was
deemed necessary to make a COM
plete change in the personnel of the
ship. Another, very imperfectly
reported, is that very extensive ar
rests indeed have been made among
the soldiery. 1t is quite certain that
while the Gar and his family are
not 10 alarmed as is reported, and
submit to their virtual Imprisonment
with something Of grim humour,
they fsare convinced that their lives,
especially the E~mperor's, are Sc
riously and Immediately tire atened.

In the opinion of the United States Cen.
sus Bureau, the occupation of farming does
not afford profitable employment to q
greater number than about forty-flve per.
sons TO the square mile. When the the popu-
lation goes beyond that figure other occupa.
tions rrust be entered into-manufactures
the various mechanical arts, and
the liberal professions. Taking this
broad statement for beginning
teresting bulletin regarding the density OF
population in this country According to
this document, the total area of settled
country Is now ,569,5 $40 square miles. This
is divided into five groups whose density of
population is as follows: to to the
square mile; 9 to Is; IS to 45; As to
80; above 30. The greatest area is OF
the thi d class, having population
of IS to 45 to the mile. This includes 55i,-
300 miles, or over one-third ofall The next
in size is that of the first class, 2to6. 1t is
the frontier regions, sparsely settled and
constantly filling an.s'l the time extend
ing. In 1850 the a"eI Zen having to 0 to
the square mile was S3,iS6 miles. In
1880 il was 3Si,S90 miles Manufacture
and city life claim that which was a popula-
ton of over 40 to the square mile. In
1901 there were 13,051 miles with As to 90
people to the mile and $50 miles with over
90. In 1880 there was 252,0l0 with 45 to 80
and q $50 with over so TO the mile. The
settled territory of the United States in 1880
IS seven times what II was in 1890. The terri
tory of mechanical population has in that
period increased its area almost twenty
fold, and that the still denser population
oyer 90 to the square mile-has increased
about thirty fold. And yet naturally IL is
only small area. In the 1850 census
there are 24,550 miles, out Of / 500, 900 miles
that have the over % population, This is
whole settled area Is given to those pursuits
that call for larger population than farm
ing. Some interesting facts us to the differ
ent states come out from q study Of the
table. More than halfof Rhode Island has
over 90 to the square mile. More of New
Jersey is in that class than any other. Con-
neoticut has nowhere less than 45 TO the
sluare mile. Its area Is divided
as follows: i,065 miles with As
to 90 and $50 with over 20 to the
mile. Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Mary
land, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Ohio.
have no area with less than Is TO the mile.
Arizona and Montana and Wyoming have
none with over 2 to G TO the mile. Dakota,
New Mexico, Oregon and Washington Terri
tory have no area of over to IS to the mile
Twe'v, Sta'eI Including the District of
Columbia), reach at all to the fifth or over
80 to the mile class. They are with their
miles Of such population. Connecticut, $780,
the Dhtrict OF Columbia, 65; Illinois, 700;
Kentucky, 600; Massachusetts,, 1900; New
Hampshire, 20; New Jersey, 3085; New
