WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. sl.-The
population OF the United States as shown
by a census bulletin ifsued to. day is c.
4s0,54o. The figures may be slightly
changed by later and more exact COM
pllations, but such changes will not he
material. In 1850 the population was
50, l5h, 7S3. The absolute increase OF the
population in the ten years intervening
was l2 ,324 .557, and the percentage OF in
crease was, ,24,57. In1S70she population
was stated as IS, ,55S,37l.
According 10 these figures the abso-
lutte increase in the decade between
1870 and 1880 was ll,597,4lo, and the
percentage OF increase was 3O0S. Upon
the'r facs these figures show that the
population has increased between 1880
and 1890 only 7o7,347 more than be.
tween 1870 and 1850 when the rate OF
increase has apparently diminished
from 80 0S to "a 81 per cent. II these
figures were derived from correct data
they would be indeed disappointing.
Such q reduction in the rate OF increase
in the face OF the enormo Gus immigration
during the past ten years would argue a
great diminution in the ireeundity Of
the population, or corresponding in
crease in its death rate. These figures
nre, however, easily explained when
the character OF the data used is un-
derstood. It Is we'll known to be the
fact having been ;one demonstrated by
extensive and thorough investigation
! that the census OF 1870 was grossly de.
ticient in the southern states, 30 much
80 as not only to give an exaggerated
rate Of increase in the population be.
tween 1870 and 1850 in tho State, but to
affect very materially the rate Of in
crease in the country at large. 4 t

PARIS. Oct. 3l.-AI. Fouroux, Mayor of
Toulon, who is under arrest on the
charge OF conspiring to procure an illegal
operation on his mistress, Nine. jon

cure his release on bail, but his applica-

evidence that NJ. Fouroux accompanied
Nine. Jonquieres to the residence OF
Nine. Laure, the midwife, who is also
under arrest on the charge OF having
performed the operation, and that he
remained in carriage outside the house
while the illegal deed was being done.
It appears that the arrest of Mayor

being .apprised that such step was
contemplated. The ministry is much
lncensed because they were not informed

{ ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3i.-For some time
there have been rulnors OF discomfort
among tho whisky dealers Of St. Louis
and rumors of rebellion have been rife.
Many wholesale dealers and jobbers
nre quite free in their expressions OF
dissatisfaction with The manner in which
the trust was managing the whisky
making business, practically controlling
the business and debating to the deal
ess. This rebellion has taken definite
form in the incorporation OF the Central
Dlslilling Company. The incorporators
are: T. S. Teuacher, Geo. @! Menke, II.
A. Steinveader, Albert Stracker, J. Il.
Rathman, Louis Melle and w.. II. Lee.
These are all whisky dealers and while
they say they have not organized to fight

whisky they need in their business and
thus be in an independent position.
The capital is Sl50,000, and they have
