1T Is ALL WASHINGTON CITY.
No boundary Line Except that of the
District-How the Census Will be Taken.

| The question as to whether the District Of
| Columbia in the coming census should be re-
| Sarded as whole, or the abolished corporate
limits be recognized and a separate census of
Washingto H. Georgetown and the county made,
has bee'i brought to the attention of Superin-
tendent Porter. few days ago he received
the following letter from the Washington Board
OF Trade, through the president Mr.. NJ. NJ.
Parker:
| 'llnclose very sensible letter have received
| from Alfred Williams relative to the census of
washington, which in his judgment should in
clude the entire District of Columbia. 1t
seems that in 1880 it only embraced the old city
OF Washington. We, therefore, lost about
| 1000. OF course every city is anxious to make
the best possible showing. The District of
Columbia Is governed by set OF Commits
sloners, and 1t seems to me that the census
should show the entire population of the Dis
trlct as representing Washington. 1 should be
very & lad If such ruling could be made would
give Washington the benefit of the entire popu-
laton of the District such cities as Boston,
Philadelphia and New York take in suburbs for
miles around. 1t is matter of pride for every
resident OF Washington to know that the city
Is growing rapidly. and if the census can be
taken 80 as to include the District 1t Is thought
we will have showing of about 800 900 people"
Yesterday Superintendent Porter sent the
following reply TO President Parker:
Il have yours OF April Is. lnclOslng letter
from Mr.. Alfred Williams, relative to the
population to be included in the city of WASH
Ington. The abolition of the charters of Wash
ington and Georgetown in 1872 left those names
with very indefinite application but it appears
to this office that at present, owing to the rapid
expansion of urban population over the Dis
trIct, that 1t should be regarded as Washing
ton as far as the District boundaries "

Policeman Fisher, who were sitting on the

 Some Spaniards, who tried awhile ago to set up in business in the island of Fernando Pc, got the cart very much before the horse. They decided that the manufacture of sugar-cane rum would be very profitable industry, so they imported steam engine from Spain at large cost, got all ready to crush cane, and then turned their att tention to starting a plantation. Dr. Baumann, the African traveller, who has returned from Fernando Pc, says the steam engine is now rusty and use- less and there is nothing for it to do, for it's owners have discovered, very much to their chagrin, that sugar cane does not thrive on the island.
 A strange story comes from Bjelina, in Bosnia. A rumor is current among the peasants of the district that Baron Albert Rothschild has been sentenced to death, and that his execution will shortly take place unless he succeeds in finding substitute prepared to suf- fer death on the scaffold for a consider ation of 1000, 900 forins. The authori- ties at Bjelina have for several weeks past been pestered by applicants pre- pared to have their heads cut off for the benefit of the Austrian Croesus. It ap- pears, however, that the applicants have formed syndicate, among whom the million was to be divided, and that lots were to be drawn for the victim. The authorities have experienced some difficulty in attempting to convince the candidates for death that the rumor is without foundation.
