STILL THEY COUNT.
Superintendent Porter's Census is

CLOSE ESTIMATE CAN BE GIVEN.

For the Last Month Under the Operations Of the Old

WASHINGTON, October 10.-Although
there is lots of work yet ahead of the Census
Office, the greatest interest at present sur
rounds the approaching completion of the
count of the country. This work is being
rapidly pushed forward and the results have
been published by counties. The larger
towns have also been counted, but those OF
less than 1000 people and the small villages
will have to wait for the second count before
they can officially know the number of their
inhabitants.
NOT AS MANY AS EXPECTED.
From the present outlook it would appear
that there are not quite g. 000.0 900 of US.
There are, however, over 63, 900. 900 o people
in the country, and an advance of 13, O00, 900,
such as that figure indicates during ten
years, is of itself sufficiently extraordinary.
Up to the present time the Census Office has
completed the count of 90 States and Terri
tories, these giving total of A, 743, IA.
The returns from the remaining 10 States
are all in and most of them have been
more districts which have not yet been
figured up so that the actual figures for the
whole Of the States can't yet be determined.
All but six of these are Southern States.
A sufficient number OF districts in each
State have, however, been counted to afford
q very close estimate of what will be the
totals. These estimates have been figured
out and give total o: Is, 263, ,021. This
number added to the total of the 20 States
which have been counted, gives grand
total for the whole country of 65, 5,006, 165,
and it can be confidently asserted that the
final official figures will not vary from this
by more than 250,0O0.
SOME OFFICIAL FIGURES.
The following are the actual figures for
the % States which have been counted by
the Census Office:

MONTGOMERY (Ala.), May 31st-The
Balloting commenced with all the candi-

all the anti-Kolb forces would support Col
onel Thomas G. Jones for Governor.
The roll-call of counties commenced.
Every vote not for Kolb was cast for Jones.
The result was not announced as Kolb's
friends withdrew his name and moved
Jones' nomination by reclamation.
Everybody went wild and the Conven.
ton bad to suspend proceedings. Kolo
pledges to support the nomination.
The platform adopted reafhrms allegi-
ance to the principles of the Democratic
party "as promulgated by Jefferson, de-
Tended by Jackson and maintained by Gro

the Federal Government in the selection of

position to the present high tariff. They

1t further declares that the welfare OF the
entire people of the State, without regard
to race or color, depends upon the contin-

tional Parliament in July. The people

row for an extended official tour of the Far
West. He will at once proceed to Seattle,

opinion that the West should have better
facilities, and believes that Western man
acquainted with the peculiarities and rap
idity of Western development is best able
to Judge its postal needs. He will make a
close inspection of the service at all i'm.
portant centers, and on his return, in about
month or six weeks, will make such
recommendations as the situation de.
mands.

Over 100000 of Property Destroyed
A Brakeman Injured.
STOCKTON, May 31st.-The levees on
Union Island gave way last evening and
the water is now pouring in through a
crevasse 300 feet broad, and 5000 acres all
in grain are flooded. The only land on
Union Island not flooded is the home place
known as the Kidd Ranch, containing
about $500 acres.
This ranch is protected by cross levee,
but it will hardly be able to stand the
tremendous pressure of water.
The Kidd ranch has not been flooded
since 1878. Altogether about 25OOO acres
are under water on Union Island, of which
II 600 are in grain. The loss is estimated
at close to $500, 900, which will fall mainly
on Williams & Bixler.
All the stock is being removed from the
island. Thus far the cost has been about
10000 to fight the water.

injuries were dressed, and he was sent tc

INTERSTATE COMMERCE Law.
Views of Constitutional Lawyers on the
Wilson Amendment,

WASHINGTON. May 3lst.-Constitutional
lawyers in and out of Congress are discuss
ing whether the amendment to the inter-
state commerce law which the Senate has
passed, providing that there shall be no in.
toxicating liquors or beverages shipped into
prohibition States, will stand the constitu-
tional test. Such able constitutional ex-
ponents as Senators Edmunds, Hoar and
Evarts contended that it was broadly init
mated by the Supreme Court the other day,
in overthrowing the prohibitionists OF
Iowa, that the Constitution vested power
in Congress to prohibit the interstate ship
ment of any article which was undesirable
by the States, under the interstate provi-
sion, and that it was within the power OF
Congress to reinforce the powers of a pro-
hibition State by such law as the Senate
has passed.
1t is held. on the contrary, that while the
Constitution gives Congress this power, il
cannot delegate it to State and that there
fore the Wilson amendment will not stand
a constitutional test because it proposes to
delega'e Federal power to State authority.
Undoubtedly the Wilson amendment will
pass the House. but it will be resisted by
the original pacsa e and other liquor deal
ers in prohibition States, and it is very
generally thought tina. it will be broken
down.
