THE NEW CENSUS.

Spretal Dispatch to The CHICAGO Tribune.
OTTAWA, Ont, July 30.-The census re-
turns show that Gs0,49 have been added to
the population of the Dominion Of Can
ada within the past decade, and it
now numbers 4,350.533 souls. The population
of Ontario has increased to 1,913,4G0; of
Quebec to 1855 4G9: of Nova Scotia to 440, =
SIS: OF New Brunswick to SCI 129. The pop
ulation of Prince Edward Island is at 107,7S1
and Of Manitoba at 49, 500. British Columbia
and the Territories are estimated at
1GQ. .U0O As compared with the census OF
1871 Ontario shows the largest increase,
the percentage being 1s.05, quebec A.0s,
Nova Scotia 1851, New Brunswick Il: =, and
Prince Edwards Island 14.G3 The effect of
this will be to prevent any material increase

British North America act, it is directed that
Quebec shall have sixty-six members, and
each of the other provinces is to have such
