The census bulletin yesterday shows the
population of the country 20 be about o.
$50, 80 The number is not as large rs was
expected. From the fact that between $50
and 1880 the increase was more than 30 per
cent, together with the fact that immigra'
ton in the last ten years has been enormous
it was presumed that the population would
be about Gj, 100000. The percentage of IN
crease has not kept mp though, for the reason
that the percentage betwcea 1870 aud lsNJ

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
An Engineer Says it Will be Open for
Traffic Within Four Years.

st. Louis Nov. MAX Reber, a memoer
OF the engi.cS,ing staff of the Nicaragua
Canal Construction Company, is in the city
on a leave of absence.
He says that the work upon the canal
from the entrance at Greytown has pro-
gresscd into the Interior about thirteen and
one-half miles, to what is known as
the divide cut. a railroad running 10
n..'es into the country has been built by the
company from Greytown through the
swamps to the divide cut for transporting
its men and material. 1t is built entirely
upon the corduroy pontoons of felled tree
logs,
The work at the rock divide cut is the
most difficult of ALL as it is through the solid
rock. The balance of the construction will
be comparatively easy to the Pacific coast
and will be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. The canal will be completed and
open for traffic in the next four years.

SEIZURE OF PORK.
The American Hog Still an Unwelcomo
Guest in Germany.

Berlin, November 2.-1en thousand kilos
Of American pork, unlawfully imported into
Germany by way Of Holland, have been
confiscated at the custom houses in Emerich
and AiX-La-C -Chapelle, and will be sold to-
morrow, after being soaked in kerosene, to
make them unstable and unfit for consump-
ton. This is done in spite of the glaring fact
that hundreds of thousands of the poor in
this country are unable to buy meat
on account of the existing high prices,
This question is becoming of vital import
ance In this country, and is likely to lead to
important consequences even in the domain
of politics. Bavaria Saxony, Baden and
Wurtemburg, which together command the
same number of votes as Prussia in the
Bundesrath, have combined to sanction the
importation of Austrian and Russian meat
as soon as the Parliamentary session opens.
This action on their part is likely TO compel
the resignation of the Minister of Agricul
ture, Herr Lucius, in view Of his notorious
alliance with the partisans of high tariff
on meat and breadstufis.

RIOT IN LONDON.
Tho Infuriated Populace Try to Mob
Hobbs During the Funeral Of His
Wife and Was Prevented by
tho Police

london, Nov. 1.-The funeral ef Mrs
Hobbs. whose mysterious murder has so ex-
cited the people of the London suburb,
Hampstead, took place to-day, and, as was
expected, the occasion was taken advantage
by the populace for demonstration against
the dead woman's husband, who is suspected
of having, in conclusion with his mistress
caused her death. It was well that an extra
force of police had been ordered on duty, for
otherwise violence would certainly have been
done TO Hobbs. The carriage in which &c
rode was attacked by an anGiy mob, but the
police charged upon the angry rioters aud
dispersed them. After this encounter the
people contented themselves with loud
threats and menacing gestures, and no further
breach of the peace occurred. Mr.. Hobbs

ORIGINAL PACKAGE DEAD.
A Ruling by a United States Circuit
Court.


Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 1.-The opinion "
Judge Caldwell of the United States circuit
court in the original package case of H. NJ.
VauNlict, of Iowa, was filed today. 1t dig
cusscs all questions raised and extends over
more than IL large typewriter pages. The
court holds that the act Of congress and laws
of the State are valid. Following are some
of the salient points in the opinion.
"By the act Of congress, the right which
the importer previously enjoyed Of selling
liquor in the origaa; package in the State
where the transit ended, regardless of the
laws of such State, is taken away, the act
declaring that the LIQUOR shall upon its
arrival in such state or Territory, be sub
jected to the operation Of the laws of such
state
After citing the auth rites and the act
of congress, the opinion proceeds 1T
will be observed that by the terms of the
act the original package upon arrival in
the STATE is put on the same footing with Ii
quors produced in the State Now, there
never was any question that the laws of
Iowa prohibited the sale of liquor produced
in the state, and that the laws for this pur-
pose was constitutional. These laws were
in full force at the date of the passing of the
act Of congress, and that act having in legal
effect abolished original packages on their
arrival within the State by placing them
on the same footing with liquor produced
within the state they are a much amenable
TO the State law as if they had never existed
in the form of original packages.

ent. OF course, | was sorry for the
deceased, but l was glad, since there
was a corpse, that 1 was there to see
the funeral procession, as it is one of
the most curious of sights. The corpse
is placed in a highly decorated recep-
tacie on a raised platform, which is
carried high over the heads of the
eight bearers. Then come about a
dozen of the Brothers of the Misere-
cordia in their grotesque costumes of
a white flowing sheet, with heads en-
tirely concealed by the same, save the
large holes cut for eyes and mouth
looking like ghosts of the past. After
them came about twenty old chaps
dressed in black, with huge black hats
of ancient make. After these came the
relatives and friends, the Brothers of
the Miserecordia and the solemn old
chaps who are hired for the occasion.
No funeral in Naples would be com,

The question of ventilation is even
more difficult than that of heating. If
one uses a stove the oxygen in the
must supply the fire as well as
the lungs of the inmates, and unless it
is constantly REINFORCED from the out
side it will become exhausted, and the
air of the will beunfit to breathe,
both from the exhaustion of the oxy-
gen and from the exhalations from the
bodies of those who live in il. A good
way to ventilate is to close the doors
between the living room and the one
adjoining then in the latter open all
the windows until the air is entirely
renewed; then close the windows and
open the connecting doors. This has
been used with success in the case of
invalids. Another way is to raise one
of the sashes a few inches, and have a
strip of wood fitted snugly in below
the sash. The air will then enter up
ward between the sashes, and will
cause no draught. A hinged pane in
m of the windows is an excellent
thing, as is also a ventilator set in one
of the panes.-Boston Herald.

DELAY IN THE HOUSE.

The claim has been made, and backed
by many frothy assertions, that the coun
Gil was, by its dilatoriness, delaying legis
lation. At the session yesterday an Off
clal report on the subject was made, from
which 1t appeared that seventy bills have
been introduced in the house, none OF
which have vet reached the council. There
are six bills which have passed the house.
and are now before the council for consid-
Grafton. On the other hand there are
twelve bills before the house which have
passed the council. There are only nine
council files now in charge of council com.
mittees.
Perhaps it would be just as well if
many of the measures introduced in the
house never became laws, but if any of
them are Of public importance they should
BE- forwarded to the other house so as to
allow proper time for their thorough con
slderatiOn. There now remain only
thirteen working days until the close of
the session. The closing days are usually
crowded with work, and in the press of
business ill-considered legislation is
times enacted. Ii earnest and ~intelli-
gent work is done this may be to a great
extent avoided, but the house committees
and the house itself must move with
more CELEBRITY or the wheels of legislation
may be absolutely cloRged at the end of
the session.

In Professor Edward S. Morse's ia
nous collection of japanese pottery,
which has been shipped from Salem to
the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston,
there are more than 1000 different
specimens, embracing many of rare
beauty, and the collection comprises
the largest and finest ceramic art in ia
pan-as far as it can be shown in fai-

list in the world. The accumulation is
the result of years of patient search,
and ifty-two provinces in Japan are
represented in the various departments
of the collection. In many cases the
development in the manufacture of
pottery in each province is shown
chronologically. This grand collec-
