he has given a. q computation Of the popula-
ton Tor each census up to 1890. These results
seem fabulous and must. evenif followed with
many grains of allowance, lead into serious
errors.
Gen. Meigs gives 50. 7ss, 900 % the estimated
population for 1900, and 1,2o6, 100000 as the
population for 1890.
The errors in the statistical estimates Of Gen.
Msigs are, however, of secondary importance.
as the import Of the article seems to be to call
attention to the vastness Of our nation in all
respects in the immediate future Gen. Meigs
has sounded note Of caution not moment
too soon. Our Senators and Representatives
do not realize that the population is Increasing
nearly too millions every year. These annual
coming millions must be provided for.
A few weeks since an article, entitled "a
Startling Problem" was published in The STAB
which speculates on probable population dur
ing the next hundred years. These specula-
tons are totally worthless, as they are profess
theory, yet this article has been copied quite
extensively in the public press.
Mr.. ]. G. G.. Kennedy (ex-superintendent Of
the census Of 1860, by using this general
ratio, made his egregious errors in projecting
the population for only q few decades. [See
Census Of 1860. Vol. Population. p. 81
His estimate for 1890 was ~, 266, 989 and for
1900 the fabulous number of l00, 355. 802 No per-
son who has given this problem a careful study
can for . moment place confidence in any esti-
mstes Vi . Iuture populatlon Wnere general
ratio has been used TO obtain results. II a. a
basis for discussion the proposition of Nautilus
be accepted as true we soon find the variables
80 modify results that the admitted Malthusian
theory is completely lost. Take the
VARIABLE ELEMENT, IMMIGRATION,
and II is soon seen how extensively it modifies
our population.
The following table shows the ratio of nom
immigrants to immigrants for each decade pre-
ceding the date:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1889-10-26

WHY THE INFLUX rs LIKELY TO DIMINISH.
We will not discuss the past, but study the
outlook for the future. The inducements which
are held out to immigrants are now on the
wane.
The best Of our public lands are taken.
There Is general sentiment. abroad that i'm
migrants should have less influence in our gov
eminent, both general and municipal.
1t Is very probable that naturalization will
not be as easily obtained in the future.
Other nations are offering greater induce
ments than has been usual to immigrants To
such an extent has this been done that there
has already set in emigration from our own
people.
Heretofore we have enjoyed almost an exclu-
slye monopoly Of the flow of immigrants. but
more liberal laws and freedom of action show
ing Itself among other peoples divide the flow
to our loss.
The Free State Of Congo will be a powerful
competitor against us, and indeed the whole
continent of Africa will offer inducements that
will be beyond our ability to present. 1t would
not De an unexpected result to find the emil
grants exceeding the immigrants.
The conclusion seems to be inevitable that
this great influx OF foreigners is to gradually
diminish and finally cease altogether We are
discussing this problem in view of the coming
century. AS for war, pestilence, annexation Of
territory and other fortuitous changes there can
be absolutely nothing said.

AT THE MOUTH OF THE KARLuK.

AT THE MOUTH OF THE KARLUK.
AS before stated, the Karluk river produces
tmore salmon than all the other streams added
ogether. During the last Sc ason, up to Sep
TENDER 8, 100000 cases OF salmon, weighing 4S
pounds each were canned from this river alone
In one day, at the mouth of the river, l5O 600
red salmon. averaging from to 10 pounds,
were taken.
From this it will be gathered that the salmon
are rather plentiful. They are taken for the
being sometimes used. No machinery Is needed
to haul the nets. About thirty men usually
handle one seine, the length Of which is about
1,50O feet, with depth Of 20 feet The nets
are made OF B. inch mesh and are very strong
and durable. The fishing season lasts from
June to October, most Of the fishing being
done in the ocean near the. river mouth.
THE CANNERIEs.
At the mouth of the Karluk river there are
five permanent canneries, beside three firms
who catch their fish at this point and carry
them in steam launches to the manufactures on
the main land or neighboring islands, There
is quite navy Of boats at Karluk consisting
OF dories, seine boats, lighters for carrying fish,
launches, steamers and any number of sailing
vessels from a small cat boat to q full-rigged
ship.
In Alaska "a, 600 900 is invested in fixed ap-
paratus for salmon fishing and the annual pro-
duct is about $4,000, 900. The establishments at
Kodiak Island alone employ 400 white men
and 600 Cinnamon, one firm also employing some
rs natives This year there were thirty-six
canneries in Alaska, eleven Of these being
on Kodiak Island.
THE NATIVES.
DIR. Beans description of the natives of
Kodiak is extremely interesting. They are
what are called Kodiakmuts. being very similar
to the Aleuts. They are an independent race,
almost up to the average of the whites in
weight and height. Unlike most natives their
eyes are not oblique. The complexion is lit
tie darker than that of the Chinese, The
Kodiakmuts are poor shots and live entirely by
fishing and trapping. At the village there are
some three hundred people, though their num-
Der is being greatly lessened by consum ption.
They are very fond OF q vile fermented beer,
which they call "quarss;" tobacco and tee are
also standbys with them.
Since the agents Of the packing COM
panies came to give orders the natives have
paid little attention to their hereditary chiefs,
although they still exist 90 Agureheads.
In other parts Of Alaska, however. the tyone
or chief IL still in great force. Il IL singular
that the word ty0ne is used In the Chinese with
almost an exactly similar meaning. The natives
especially wild sort Of chant they have 70
arrest rain.
A CULTURAL LANGUAGE.
The language ID cultural in the extreme. A
native seems to be choking to death While
simply carrying on little conversation. Most
words end in COX, !" IDOL, !" 'clok, !" 'chuk" or
some other harsh sound.
The KodiakWute use akin boat which they
Sish being simple frame Ssss
20 feet long By feet 10 width, and only about
Is inches In depth. They ere sxtrsmeIy. light
and are padded By he natives with great

The Increase of Population in the United
States During the Coming Century.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING star:
have no desire to support any theory in re-
gard to the increase Of population in the United
States the coming century. For q number of
years have been quite deeply interested in
the study Of the variables that enter into the
population series. Many theories have been
advanced and to a greater or less extent have
modified all speculation about the increase of
the population.
The proposition Of Nautilus 10 perhaps the
most noticeable. That population unchecked
increases in q geometrical ratio" may be true
in theory, but il not true IN fact. No known
conditions exist now, or ever have existed, such
a to permit an unchecked increase. The
same 10 true Of the second part of his PROPOSE
ton, that flood may be made to increase, ct
least, only in an arithmetical ratio" The fact
10 that many foods increase in Q ratio far
greater than geometrical increase. This
proposition. however, u useless in this dis
cussion.

all causes that affect the increase Of population

article based ON this method il from the pen of
Gen. N. c. Msigs, publishsd in Science" Of

He says: In estimating the progress OF pop
