PoPULoUS CITIES.

Not Fifty Cities in the World with Two
Hundred Thousand Inhabitants.
1t will hardly be thought that there
are not on the whole globe fifty cities
containing 200, 900 people; but such is
the fact. and any one may convince
himself of it by consulting a geograph-
ical dictionary. 1t would seem at
first that there must be at least 200
cities of 100000 popula ton, but there
is not, repeat, one-fourth the number.
OF these Great Britain has about nine,
France three, Italy four, Germany
(proper) five or six, China some nine,
India eight or nine, and the United
States, according to the latest census,
nine or ten. 1t is somewhat remarka-
BILE that country only one hundred
years old should have as many (if not
more) large cities as the oldest lands;
but it is not improbable that before an
other century We shall count as large q
number of cities of 200, 900 inhabitants
as there are now in the whole world.
New Workers may look with certain
disdain upon towns of that size, but
when they remember how few there
are their disdain should be modified, if
not converted to respect. We are in
clined to think that old and famous
capitals like Cordova, Granada, Cadiz,
Florence, Venice. Padua, Verona,
Bologna, Warsaw, Cracow, Antwerp.
Client, Rotterdam, Lcyden, Lelpsic
must be very large, though they really
have no more than from 40, COO to 14O.-
GOO or 150, 600 people each. The cite
that can lay claim to 100, popula-
ton and upward are perhaps $50, and
these include many of those which at
first thought we should suppose con-
tanned two or three times the number.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-In the Senate
to-day. Mitchell spoke on the memorial
submitted by the conference OF the
New York Methodist Episcopal church.
praying for protection for the Chinese
in the United States. He recited the
statements of the memorial referred to,
which charged, among other things,
that Chinese subjects had been put to
death in Oregon and the property OF
Chinese subjects was destroyed. No
such thing had happened In Oregon.
Mitchell said the statement of the
memorial, so far as Oregon was con-
cerned, was an entire misapprehension.
Eastern newspapers and eastern men,
even eastern Statesmen, had mis-
represented Oregon and the whole
Pacific Coast ON this question.
The press of the country, was,
in the main, he said, honest and en-
titled to the confidence of the country,
but there were exceptions. Mitchell at
tributed much of the misrepresentation
10 a newspaper IN Oregon, whose owner
he named. and whom he characterized

were not well disposed TO the Chinese
government. This was another misrep-
resentation. There had been a PROPOSE
ton made in the press that the chair
man OF the foreign relation committee
of the Senate should go TO the railroad
depot TO receive the new Chin sc minis
ter. Had such thing ever been done
before, and had anyone ever proposed
that our officials should meet new
British minister on his ARRIVAL Had
any hullabaloo been raised about other
ministers? He criticised the committee
on foreign relations for not having ct
reported his immigration prOhibitory
bill, and warned the Senators on both
sides of the chamber that he would
press that bill. and they would have to
come squarely up 20 work, and could
not escape the question.
The PostOffice appropriation bill was
taken up. Some debate arose
on the amendment proposed by
the Senate committee appropriating
$500, 900 for carrying the South
and Central American. Chinese and
Australian mails. and authorizing the
Postmaster-General to make. after due
advertisement. contracts for five years
