Such & seat does not exist as yet, but the convention recently held passed resolutions asking Congress to accord Alaska a seat in that body. It also adopted a lengthy memorial set ting forth the injustice of Congress in so long denying Alaska a representa- tive in Congress, also "that there are no means of obtaining titles to the land upon which we have built our homes, and that the prohibitory liquor law is obnoxious to the people,"

TWO WEEKS TO LIVE.
BIrchall Confident that Ills sentence
 win be Commuted.


 win bs Commuted.
 WOODSTOCK, Ont, Nov. 1. = Mrs. Birchall called at the jail and had . long interview with her husband through the bars of the corridor. Her sorrow is painful to behold. She is confident that the petitions and her inc terview with the Minister of Justice will obtain for her husband a commu- tation or a stay of sentence; After leaving the jail she left for Toronto. accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Vest Jones. They will remain there @ day or two to get signatures for the peti- tion and will then go on to Ottawa to present it.
 Mir. Dougall MacMurphy, who was ass ooiated in the case during the trial, h. ad a consultation with BirchalPs solicitors with reference to the Colo nel." He is to leave for Montreal to- night to interview parties there on the matter. If the inquiries are satisfAc- tory, an application may be made for stay of proceedings and detectives will be employed to hunt up the "Col0nep and if possible clear up the mystery.
 The most unconcerned person in the whole matter is Birchall himself. He Is almost confident that his sentence will be commuted, but he says little hOOub bhU ONSA oA his way quite regardless of the lapse of time and the nearnsss of the fatal 14th of November. He retires about o'clock every morning and sleeps until noon. He has his breakfast of oatmeal mush, followed by sausagss, canned salmon or chicken, and e cup of coffee. He smokes, reads the papers, spends an hour or so over hts correspondence, having many a hearty laugh over the rawlings of the cranks who are con- stantly writing to him, and spends the intervening time to supper in exercise. In the evening he smokes, and chats with his guard until about 10 o'clock. Then he pulls himself together and starts to work on his autobiography. He writes and sketches steadily through the night until between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning. He turns out from ten to fifteen pages of Closely-written foolseap during this time, writing slowly and with great care. He then retires. There is no trace of weariness in him and he seems to enjoy his literary work.

X COMPLETE CENSUS
The Declared Population of
 the United States.
THERE ARE e2.4sO,54o OF us
The Increase in Ten Years Was Owe
 Twelve Million.

The Last Decade shows a Reduction in
 the Rate of Increase Considering the
 Large ImmigratiOn-BOth Political Par
 ties Close Their Headquarters at the
 National Capital.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. l. - The census United States to be 62, 4S0, $40. These figures are exclusive of white persons in Indian Territory, Indians on reser- vations and Alaska.
 These figures may be slightly changed by later and more exact compilations, but such changes will not be material.
 In 1880 the population was 50, 155, S72. The absolute increase of the popula- tion in the ten years intervening was 12, S24, 757, and the percentage of in- crease was 24.57.
 In 1870 the population was stated as SS, 55s, ,371. According to these figures the absolute increase in the decade between 1870 and 1880 was Il, ,597, 412, and the percentage of increase was 30.OS.
 The bulletin announcing these figures is addressed to Secretary Noble and sigaed by Superintendent Porter. It says: Upon their face these figures show that the population has increased between 1880 and 1890 only 727, 424 m ore than between 1870 and 1880. while the rate of increase has apparently dimin- ished from 30. OS to 25 47 per cent" If these figures were derived from correct data they would indeed be disappoint- ing"
 Such e reduction in the rate of in crease in the face of the enormous immigration during the past ten years would argue a great diminition in the fScundity of the population or a corre- spending increase in its death rate.

WHERE the Mckinley bill helps one it ininres ten thousand. It makes no claim to justice in it's distribution of benefits. It taxes the poor to increase the wealth of the rich. It makes the workingman's family a greater burden to him, but offers him no compensation. Since slavery was abolished, this gov cruel. as oppressive, as negotiable and as unexcusable us the new tariff.
 THE republican press argues ill favor of its tariff legislation with more reck- lessness than ever because factories man, featuring certain lines of goods In Ger many have been closed in consequence of the passage of the Mckinley bill, and thousands of operatives have been thrown out of employment. This indus trial paralysis and the social misery in- cident thereto may seem to some of our protectionist friends a subject for euthu- siastic congratulation but nature re venges herself upon those who violate her rules, and those in this country who imagine that this industrial distress in Germany means more work for them, may find, before many months are over, that 1t merely implies that the Germans thus deprived of their work are going to follow after it, and are coming in in creased numbers to thls country to sue cessfully compete, with their notions ot lower prices and more meagre scale of living, with those who imagine that they are to obtain more work or better wages in consequence of the shutting down oi German work shops.
