In 1870, he says, thc proportion OF thc
two cities to the population of the State
was less THAI one tenth, while in 1880
it was more than ohc,third, and taking
the last Presidential vote as basis the
present population is about two-ffths OF
the population of the whole STATE. A
computation of the figures he presents
gives the astounding result of $500, 900
population in New York in 1920, and of
,, POO, 900 in Brooklyn, but he thinks
that the excess of residence era in and
about Brooklyn must continue to tell in
it's favor as compared with New York.

The Northern Pacific VIII Have to Sue the
City for Right of WAY.
The adjourned meeting OF the Council
was held last evening. There were present
Aldermen McDermott, Mahoney, Mulville,
Lewis, Lynch, Olson, Pinkham and Sar-
geant, with Mayor Hamilton in chair. The
ordinance drawn up to meet requirements
of the previous meeting was read. The
discussion that ensued showed the presence
of an invincible opposition to granting the
right Of way across Oregon avenue to the
road. Messrs. Kirkpatrick and MeCaig
showed that the interests of Mrs. Hopkins
were thoroughly protected. Msssrs. Lynch
and Mulville thought the Widows rights
ieopardized, and would not be convinced
otherwise. When it came to vote
whether the ordinance granting the North
ern Pacific the right OF way asked over un-
opened streets and alleys in a lot of placer
diggins should pass, Messrs. Lynch,
Mullville aud Mahoney voted no.
the other five present voting yes.
As it required majority OF the Council
to pass an ordinance, it failed of passage,
the vote of all present being necessary to
pass it legally. The question came up
whether to appoint counsel to defend the
the city in the condemnation proceedings
which begin tomorrow. Several OF the
Council deprecated spending money to de-
fend the city's title to such worthless ground
as the street and alleys in question repre-
sent, but finally it was decided that City
Attorney Speer shall appear on the occa-
sion in question to carry out the huge joke
of guarding the city's interets" in
streets that have no existence and
in all likelihood never wouli be thought
of but for the railroad wanting them.

LONDON, February 25. - Letters from
missionaries dated Zanzibar, January "a,
have been received in this city. They give
details OF third revolt in Uganda.
1t appears that King KiewieNa, who was
raised to the throne after the overthrow OF
his brother, King Mwanga, tried to poison
his Arab supporters, but the plot failed.
He then invited three OF them to private
audience. At signal from the king. they
were seized and the king speared two of
them and was in the act of spearing the
other when an Arab managed to free him
self from the grasp OF the executioners and
fred at the king who fed and has since
been trying to induce the Christian chiefs
to assist him in regaining the throne, upon
which, after his fight, the Arabs placed
Kalema, son OF Mutesas.
The letters confirm the report that an
English missionary named Brooks has been
murdered. The missionaries at Lake Tang

that a wholesale slaughter and enslavement
OF the natives is proceeding in the direction
OF Tippoo Tbs district.
