1t would be difficult to estimate the En-
glish-speakers of the present year at less
than from hundred to a hundred and
FIVE millions; or those OF 1900 at less than
hundred and twenty millions. Seven
times fifteen give US one hundred and five
millions; so that the past hundred years
has supplied us at least with the multiple
of seven, which might perhaps be placed
even somewhat higher. The application
of this multiple would give US tor the wear
200 A. h. the enormous figure OF eight
hundred and forty millions of English
speaking persons.
From one-ffth of the total in 1860, the
United States have gradually advanced
their proportion, until it has reached near
ly three-6fths, and, should the present
rates of growth be maintained all round
it may possibly become as much as three
fourths before the term on which we are
specializing is exhausted This, therefore,
is the grand factor to which we should
turn our principal attention. My time
shall run from The present year.
From 1870 TO 1900, and 1900 to 1910,
the annual increment was about three and
two-thirds per cent. Through the inter-
vening period it has varied, with general
but variable tendendency to slight decline.
As late as from 1910 to 1850. and 1910 to
1860 it was over three per cent. From
1860 to 1870 it was abnermaily checked,
as the war would give us reason to expect.
From two and one-half per cent. for this
decade of depression, it has rallied to
three per cent.
Some of us English, preserve in mind,
may, in noting this decline as compared
with 1850 to 1860, cast sidelong glance
at the system of protectian; which, how
ever, regard as forbidden subject, so
that l pass on.
a Now, as reckon the figures, if this in
'crement Of three per cent. were what

BY The Grace OF the Vote
OF New York.
Grow, Old Republican
Rooster. Crow!

Yesterdays election was decisivein
favor of Harrison and Morton, a solid
North, with the exception of New Jer-
sey, confronting a solid South, and
casting its electoral votes for the Re
publican candidates for president and
vice-presidsnt. The Republicans won
the battle by one of the hardest and
most stubbornly fought political con-
tests the Nation has ever witnessed,
but by the result the integrity of the
country has been preserved, and the
people have stood by their true in
terests.
Wisconsin comes up smiling with a
majority of at least Is, 900 for Harri-
son and Hoard. The legislature will
have a large Republican majority.
Caswell in the First, La Toilette in
the Third, Van Schaick in the Fourth,
Clark in the Sixth, Thomas in the
Seventh, Haugen in the Eighth and
McCord in the Ninth, are the Repub-
lican congressman elected. The Demo
Gratis elect Barwig in the Second and
Brickner in the Fifth, making Wiscon-
sin represented as at present, by seven
Republicans and two Democrats.
Minnesota, claimed by the Demo
Gratis as doubtful, gives Harrison 25,
900 and Merriam, Republican, for
governor, $4,000 plurality
Michigan placed among the most
doubtful takes her stand in the Re
publican column with Republican
plurality of $4,000 and the Republic
ans elect nine of the eleven congress
men.
Illinois is carried by Harrison by a
majority of 100000 Fifer'smajority
for governor over Palmer will be cut
down to about half this amount.
The Republicans carry Connecticut
by margin of less than 500 and elect
three of the four congressman. The
legislature is Republican.
New Jersey is the only particular
bright star for the Democrats in the
entire North, and she gives her native
IN, Cleveland, q majority Of between
5000 and 10000. @
Harrison carries his own state, In
diana, by a majority of e, 900.
California was not frightened away
from the support of the Republican
ticket by the Chinese cry, and she
gives her electoral vote for Harrison
and Morton.

Waiting for a Verdict.

Immediately after taking the case the jurors
began considering it, but up to 5 o'clock they
had made but little progress A short time
after that they went to the Grand Hotel for sup
per, in charge Of Deputy Marshal Stein. Re-
turning to the courtroom, where their delibera-
tons are held, they resumed work, but it is
thought that up to late hour had reached
no vote, they separated in groups
earnestly discussing the matters before them.
AT III o'clock, however, some of them were still
up but whether they had given over further
consideration until morning could not be learned.
Az that hour 1t was supposed verdict would
be reached during the night AT the hotels the
case was varlousy discussed, while Coy, the
principal defendant, showed that suspense was
worrying him than the evil
dence or arguments did. Bernhamer.

thatEofficIal and others, in the expectation of
cleaning some information. Failing this, he
became as cheerful and unconcsrned in talking
about the trial and its possible results if he of
all others was surely to be acquitted.
About $50 o'clock there a call from the
jury-room suggestive of close of the delibera-
tions, but it was only for paper and envelopes.
Later, Albert Beck, with few friends of the
defendants. came up to learn what progress had
been made, but the iury-room door was sealed as
tightly to all chance Of information as if it shut
out impenetrable mysteries.
