The German Population Of tho United
States,

The occurrence lately of the bicente-
nary of the arrival of the first German
immigrants in America has directed
attention on both sides of the Atlantic
to the numerical strength of the Ger
man element in the United States. The
New York Journal of Commerce de-
clares that this can be inferred only
very inadequately from the last census
| returns. The only persons reckoned in
it as Germans are those born within
the present German Empire. Austrian
and Swiss Germans are credited to
their respective States. The last CEN
sus has this advantage over its prede-
cessors-that it tells us how many
native born American citizens are chill
dren of German parents Understand
ing the term German in its restrict
ed application TO natives of the present
German Empire); 1885, 42 had Ger
man fathers, and 4,557, 625 German
mothers. Other tables enable us to
form an estimate of the number of
those children who have both parents
Germans; and SO we may set down the
total number of children having one or
both parents Germans at about $780,
500, 900 out of the large number of per-
sons of foreign origin whose actual
place of birth is not given; the Ger
mans from Austria, Switzerland, and
Luxembourg; and those Alsatians who,
although talking German, are classed
as French. All these may be set down
| at 100000. We may also fairly throw
| in the number of those Pennsylvanians,
etc., who still use German as the Ian
guage of ordinary intercourse. If all
| these items be reckoned up, it will be
seen that the Gernlan-American ele-
ment cannot fall short of nine millions.
| Should any one think this estimate too
high, let him remember there are thou
sands of descendants of Germans who
speak the German language as their
mother tongue, and all whose sympa-
thies and connections are with the Ger
| man element, although in the census
they are returned as pure Americans.

''that we have only to look back to the
theater of the past days to see how
little it would please the public of to-

grace and softness which we consider
essential? If the public of Shakespeare s

NATURAL GAS
To Be Sought by the Central Glass
Company.
The Contract for Boring Awarded-Ihe
Pittsburgh Iron Conference Kept
Very Dark-CoJ Strike
Blown Over.

Wheeling has at last caught the gaswell
fever snd our manufacturers are deter
mined to avail themselves of the natural
fuel which stands in such good stead up
the river. The Wellsburg we'll belches out
its gas in undiminished quantities, and
soon the entire town, besides the manufac-
tories will be lighted aud heated with 1t.
As has already been stated, the Riverside
glass works at that place, has introduced
the gas as fuel, with the most satisfactory
results. Not only has it been used at the
glory holes, but under the boilers, with
the best results in both uses 1t is further
thought it may be used to melt the glass,
thus doing away with coal entirely. Since
this well reached the gas supply, numer-
Gus others have been projected, including
one at Brilliant and one at Martins
Ferry.
The successful use of the gas at the
Riverside has no doubt had much to do
with the decision that a we'll should be
sunk by the Central Glass Company, of this
city, which is one OF the largest in the
country. Learning that such q conclusion
had been reached, a REGISTER reporter
called on Mr.. John Oesterling, yesterday,
to learn the details NJ o. is president of
the company, and is practical glass
maker. He confirmed the report, and said
the company had contracted with burst
and Rayle to do the boring. The location
selected is the creek bank to the north OF
the works, and the we'll will necessarily go
to the depth Of some 400 feet. Messrs.
burst and Rayle are now at Brilliant, and
will begin the we'll at Martins Ferry some
time this week. 1t will pro 5ably be
month before they commence boring for
the Central Glass Company.

The Coal Trouble Adjusted I'm the Tus-
caraWaS Valley.


The anticipated strike of the coal miners
OF the Tuscarawas Valley appears to have
been dissolved into gas, and gone up the
fiue. A week ago the outlook was decidedly
favorable for a suspension of work, as the
operators were highly indignant at the re-
fusal of the miners to meet them in con-
ference for arbitration. They declared that
they never would again attempt to settle
difficulties by meeting miners committees,
and one Cleveland operator expressed him.

telling the miners what they could aud

cent reduction in the price OF mining OFF,
cial declaration at their meeting in Cleve-
land on Tuesday, there would have been
a general strike throughout the valley. A
notice to the effect that reduction had
been decided upon was expected by the
miners, and they were ready, in their
parlance, to take out their tools" With
several of the leaders among the miners
the opinion is expressed that the result of
the last operators meeting simply implies
that il was intended to brighten the miners
into accepting a reduction of ten or fifteen
cents per ton, and when it was found that
