Free-Traders to BE Given q Chance to Ex-
press Opinions-NIapping Out the Work.
WASHINGTON, July 2I-\. illiams, the
expert in charge of the work of collecting
statistics for the eleventh census. has re-
turned from trip through the manufacture
ing centers of the East. During his absence
he consulted with the leading manufactur-
ers, political economists and representa-
tives of labor organizations relative to the
scope of the inquiry to be made. He will
now prepare a schedule for the recording
of the statistics on this subject. Before
this schedule is finally adopted, however.
Superintendent Porter will send copies TO
free-trade professors and others interested
liz the subject, inviting their criticisms and
suggestions. BY this method MIR. Porter
hopes to be able to make the inquiry on
this subject not only comprehensive and
complete but free from the suspicion that
it is being conducted in the interests OF any
theory or any class:
Mr.. Porter will also appoint Charles w.
States Fish Commission, as experts to as
sist in the collection of fishery statistics.
He has designated John s. Lord, of Illinois;
Fred w. krouse. of New York, and George
X. Holmes, of Massachusetts, to make tests
in their respective localities. with the view
of ascertaining the best method of collect
ing the statistics of recorded indebtedness.
The difficulties in the way of obtaining re-
liable data on this subject are so great that
Mr.. Porter says he will not undertake it at
all unless he can see his way clear to
reaching some satisfactory results. These
gentlemen will see what can be done in
small district, such as a county, and in
case they are unable to report upon an eff
fective plan. Mr.. Porter will ask the repeal
of that portion of the law which makes the
gathering of these statistics mandatory
upon the Superintendent of Census.
In the collection of statistics of mortality
Mr.. Porter intends to establish a new sys-
TEN. Instead of following the municipal
division of cities into wards, he has in
structed his agents to have all the principal
cities divided into districts in such a way
that the different classes of the population
will be brought into separate districts. as.
for example, the tenement-house popula-
tion can be included in certain districts.
and statistics will show the death rate pre-
vailng there, and they will bring out in a
clearer form than under the old system the
effect upon health of this method OF living.
g. r. Carroll, editor of the New York In.
dependent, will have charge of the work OK
collecting religious statistics.

Lively Discussion Promised in the Commons
.To-Day-How the Forces Are Divided
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, July 24.-Both houses of Parlia-
ment to-day put through their business in a
hstless half hearted way that showed plain
ly that for time all interest in politics
was centered, not In the government routine
business to-day, but in the proceedings of
tomorrow, to which all look forward with
the keenest interest. Nothing is heard
anywhere but speculations as to the out
come of the struggle on the royal grants.
and when the government submits its bill
tomorrow to carry into effect the
recommendations of the committees report,
a debate, which will undoubtedly prove the
Hveliest of the session, will follow. The
whole subject has been dropped upon the
House so suddenly that opinions have
scarcely had time to crystalline, and the
position of many of the most prominent
members on the subject remains a matter
for speculation. 1t seems to be generally
understood that Mr.. Gladstone will vote
with the government to make the allow
ances proposed, unincumbered with cOndi-
tions, but it is estimated that not more than
thirty of his Liberal following will rally to
his support.
In the discussion tomorrow the issue
will be joined with Mr.. Morley's amend
ment, which makes the allowances pro-
posed. but only upon the express condition
that they shall be accepted as final. Mr..
Morley and his supporters are willing to
give the Queen and her royal offspring one
more installment of the wages they earn
by ruling over them, but they want re-
ceipt in full before they consent to hand
out penny. A part of the Liberals
will undoubtedly support this amend
ment, while the Radicals, aided by Mr..
Caine, the UniOnist member for Barrow in
Furness, and one or two other Unionists
will follow the lead of LabOuchere, who.
instead of voting more money, wants the
House to tell the Queen in plain English
that she'll have to try to worry along with
what she gets now, and if she can't do that
she will have to cut down expenses. La
bOuchere had great difficulty in placing his
amendment on the paper, as the Speaker in
sisted that it must be cOuched in language
more respectful to her Majesty, and to get
it on the paper at all the eminent Radical
had to consent to several verbal changes
upon which the Speaker insisted.
Mr.. X. Cunningham Graham, the Socialist
member for Lanarkshire. who Is charged
to the muZZle with an amendment in favor
of turning the whole royal family out in
the street, will not be able to fire it OFF, the
Speaker refusing it place on the paper.
He promises, however, to make things iu-
teresting for the royal family when the de-
bate Is on.

Maud Miller. of Toronto, and that she took
her life because of disappointment in love.
Miss Miller was eighteen years old
and highly accomplished, and had a large
circle of friends in the fashionable part of
the city. where she resided with her wild
owed mother and her brother. Her identi-
iication cannot be completed until the chief
of police receives from New York, the jew
elry and other effects left by the suicide.
