The question of reapportionment OF
congressional representatives is already
being discussed before the census i,
taken. 1t is urged that the present con
gress should fix the ratio, instead 81
leaving the work To the Fifty-second
congress. This suggestion probably
has its basis in the fact that the change
most likely To be made will diminish
the power IF the great states. Assum
ing that the census 10 be taken next
year will show a population of siNty-iive
millions, and that the number of mem.
bers of the house remains about As il
now is, the unit will he two hundred
thousand If this basis be adopted, il
has been computed that New York will
lose four representatives and, con-
sequently, four votes in the electoral
college, and Pennsylvania and Ohio
will lose three each. After the census
of $780, the number of members of con-
gress was raised from 293 To 1926. The
apportionment on this basis gave the
North net gain of seventeen repre-
sehtatives and the South fifteen, while
the gains of each political party were
about the same.

The steamship Ozama, which arrived
at New York August LIST, brought some
important news from Hayti, she having
left the port of Gonaives on July 81. On
the l4th, General Giradi, Hippolyte's
commander-in chief, had taken Fort
Toussaint-L'Ou situated on a
hill three miles northeast of Port-au-
Prince, and shelled that town. Hip
polyte was i'm Gonaives on the 10Th, and
much powder was expended during the
day and night in celebrating his arrival,
and in this welcome the Ozama joined.
The OZama was escorted out of Gonaives
harbor by the United States steamer
Ossipee. The captain of the Ozama is
of opinion that the next news from
Hayti will be decisive and that Hippolyte
will be master of the situation. General
Giradi, however, is likely to have a
terrible revenge on Legitime and his
factors, as he formerly was cruelty
treated by them.

The triple alliance in Europe has
been strengthened by the adhesion of
Turkey. The German ambassador to
the Sultan is credited with having eff
fected the alliance, and the Emperor of
Germany is to pay II congratulatory
visit to his new ally ut Constantinople
shortly. The alarming situation in
Servia is believed To have accelerated
the negotiations. The three powers
under the new treaty guarantee to
maintain the integrity of Turkish terri
tory, in accordance with the treaty of
Berlin The question concerning Crete
is reserved-Prince Bismarck promising
To influence Greece not To interfere,
provided further autonomy is conceded
the Certans. The rumor that Germany
desired to acquire possession Of Crete,
in order To make it German Malta, is
contradicted. European correspond
ents, however, believe that it will event
ually be handed over To Germany. In
return for the guarantee, it is stipulat-
ed that Turkish troops shall cooperate
with Austrian in Servia and Bulgaria

it appears that in the great game now

board of Europe, Germany and Austria

how Russia will checkmate il.

SIR I desire to make a suggestion 30 you as the
editor of one Of the most influential paners in our
great Republic.
You arc aware that applications VIII be made
for the admission of several Territories States into
the Union Among these IS Washington Territory.
This name seems to me 10 be entirely inappropriate.
There IS State In the Union that IS named after
man. Why, then now depart from the usagel II
It IS said that Georgia, Carolina and Virginia are
named after sovereIgns Of the Old World, reply that
these names given before The Union was founded
and have an addition TO the original names II this
precedent is to be followed the now state should be
called Wasl.ingtOnia not Washins ton The name
moreover, is not needed to honor Washington. His
monument IS everywhere already In the history Of the
country, and the Capital of the Nation IS named after
him. This is enough for any man, and by naming
distant State after him. the Capital and the state will
often be- confounded and make confusion % business
correspondence. Another reason why Mashingou's
name should not be given to The lew state L. HAT
there Is far more appropriate name for the new
STATE Tacoma Is that name This IS Of local
Oigin-an Indian namc-and the name Of the chief
phonious, corrcsp OndiDg we'll with Dakota. Montana
and California. You how Much more agreeable
il IS TO the ear than the long name Of Washington!
