CENSUS RETURNS.
Specific Charges Required to Secure Recount
for Oregon

Specific Charges Required to Secure Recount
for Oregon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The census fight
between the States of Oregon and Washing
ton excites lively interest here. Everybody
seems to agree with the Oregon delegation
that that State should have greater pOpu-
latiOn than Washington in proportion to
the vote cast, because WashiDgton's popu-
lation is of a transient character and there
are proportiOnately more voters than in
Oregon on account Of the rapid influx OF
spectators to the new State. Oregon being
an older settled community should have a
population of about five times the registered
vote of the State. Consequently when it
was announced that Washington's popula-
ton very much exceeded that of Oregon
there was much surprise among Oregonlans
in Washington.
California Associated Press correspond
ent asked Mr.. Hyde to-day if recount
would be ordered in Oregon. He said:
well, to tell the truth, / think not. At any
rate not unless we receive some specific
charge against our Supervisors and enumer-
ators. We have, for few days been re-
ceiving scores OF kilograms from all parts
Of Oregon. 1t seems that every little town
in Oregon is organizing a Board Of Trade
merely in order that its President may send
protest on to the Census Department.
But thus far these dispatches have dealt IN
generaities and have contained no specific
charges, nor are we informed that any are
en- route from Oregon to Washington there
fore, III all probability, no recount VIII be
ordered. We feel that the Oregon Super
visors and enumerators have given Ore
gon as fair and careful IN enumeration
as the other States have received. The
truth is that during the last few years
Washington has been making wonderful
strides. Real estate men and specula-
tors have gone there by scores
as you know. Washington's admission
as State also gave her boom and at
tracted thousands there. The rivalry be-
tween Seattle and Tacoma has done much
to encourage the Investment of capital
Wa shington has one of the finest natural
harb0rs in the world, and is rich in coal de-
posits. OregOn's natural advantages may
not be inferior TO WaShiDgton's, but she has
been sleeping for years, because there has
been nothing particular of late 20 attract
the attention of settlers or spectators and
besides, there has been nothing of that re-
mantle glamour that attaches to Washing
ton and attracts hundreds and thousands of
young men. If Washington has outstripped
Oregon, the Census Department cannot be
held responsible for it."
Mr.. Hyde said that the crews of the Alas
ka sealers now fishing in Alaska waters
and which were entered as San Francisco
vessels would be enumerated as inhabitants
of San Francisco. This will add several
thousand mole to San Francisco's popula-
ton.
Have you received any San Francisco or
California census returns yet that you
would be at liberty to publish?

Suggestions Of the New York Tribune on the
Preservation of the Giants.
NEW YORK, Aug. Accommodating on
the suggestion of Garden and Forest that
the Tuare clumps of giant trees be reserved
primarily as a forest and not as national
park, the Tribune says IAN that should
he attempted is the preservation Of the
essential feature of these treasures Of
natural scenery. If tie Tulare groves
are TO be converted into
national reservation it will be an
excellent thing to start the project
on the only sound basis and avoid the
temptations and allurements inseparably
connected with the scheme for the
so-called park. Let the clumps be
preserved as forest, and there
will be no possible pretext for landscape
establishment and the manufacture of Wis
tas.' A national forest will not be opened
with roads, so that its trees can be seen
to the best advantage, and painstaking ar
rangements will have to be made for The
preservation of very old and the continuous
growth of young trees. Anything outside
of these lines will be surertluous. The
Tulare forest, if kept as nature has left it,
in its original simplicity and sublimity, will
be a national possession OF inestimable
value "

Glsdstous's Statements, Dsn;ea

LONDON. Aug. 1O.-Balfour in an address
at Manchester last night declared that
Gladstone's insinuation that the Govern
ment had sacrificed the rights of the Pro-
testant residents of Malta in order to secure
the favor of the Catholic minority was
totally unfounded, and most barefaced
attack from the man who sent Errington to
Rome in 1881 to enter into direct relations
with the Pope. 1t was, said Balfour, one
of the many instances of Gladstone's per-
versity In attacking the Government
through his own reputation. "Why,"
asked the speaker, "was Gladstone deter
mined to repudiate every act of the first
fifty years of his life and to score the Gov
ernment when it followed his preceient?''
