WASHINGTON, March 25.-The census
bureau has in preparation a bulletin Piy-
ing the population OF the South Atlantic
and South Central states. Missouri and
Kansas, by races The total population
embraced in this count is given as %. S75,-
259. of which 6,86S. 205 are white, O.
996, loo colored, and lO,sSs Chinese, Jap.
anese aud Indians. In the states included
were found in 1900 fifteen sixteenths of
the entire colored population OF the United
States, so that for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the percentage of increase in the
colorcd population, the returns of these
states are adequate. The abnormal in
crease of the colored population in what is
known as the BLACK Belt" during the
decade ending in 1850, led to the popular
belief that the negroes were increasing to
a much larger rate than the whites.
The iacIs now ascertained sustain
the theory that the high rate OF increase
shown IN 1880 was apparent, not real,
and was due TO the imperfect enumeration
in the Southern states in 1880. During
the past decade the colored race has not
held ITS own against the whites. In but
Inrec decades, una from loNO 10 1884,
during part of which time the slave trade
was in progress, has the colored race IN
creased more rapidly than the whites.
Since 1880 the whites have steadily in
creased at a more rapid rate than the
cnlored people. This increase was not
effected BY immigration, for with the ex
ception of Kanses and Missouri these
states received comparatively few immi-
grants. In 1880 there we're nearly six
colored inhabitants to ten white, but the
proportion has been reduced to a trlfle
more than four at the present date, or
by nearly one-thIrd OF its amount. The
deficiencies of the ninth census, says
Porter are apparent. Several tables are
given which show the movement of the
colored population during the last half
century. There has been no extended
movement of this element since the time
of the civil war. Indeed, with the excep-
ton of the District of Columbia, the Dor
der states appear to have lost rather than
gained, and during the last decade there
becomes D%erceptible a southwark move
ment of the colored element from the bor-
der states into those bordering on the gulf,
particularly into Mississippi aud Arkan-
sas. 10 these two states this has resulted
in producing a more rapid increase Of the
colored element than OF the white.

LONDON. March 25.-Great iudigua-
ton is expressed among all classes of
Englishmen IN regard to the reports cur
rent as to the treatment of the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth, grand daughter of
Queen Victoria, by her husband, the
Grand Duke SerRius of Russia, brother
OF the czar. 1t is now well understood
that the cars motive for appointing his
brother to be governor of Moscow was
not. as officially stated, to give him a
mark OF esteem, but to remove the grand
duchess from the foreign society of St.
Petersburg. where her maltreatment by
her imperial family has already caused an
international scandal. The reports as to
the abuse to which the lady has been sub
iected are not uere gossip, but come
from high and Trustworthy sources, and
nobody in England has any doubt of their
truth. The grand duke is said to be
really attached TO his wife, but he treats
her on the same principle that RusEia
treats a conquered province or state.
Having annexed her by marriage he
has claimed that she must become Rus
sian altogether. even to the abandon
ment of the religion in which she was
born and educated. With this coercion
characterized as brutal has been tried upon
her; when she desired TO attend English
services she found no carriage to take her,
and the grand duke on such occasions has
shown a displeasure in ways that \ Rus
sian or Tartar, whether high or low, very
well understands. There is no allegation
openly made of physical violence, but
rumors even to that effect are current.
The young princess, now but 81 years old
and only 20 when she was married, APP
pealed for a divorce to her father. the
G RAND Duke LOUIS of Hesse, and to her
grandmother, Queen Victoria. The queen
dreading scandal, appears to have advised
her to comply with her husbands wishes
as to religion. Officially the queen was
simply stated to have sent her blessing to
her granddaughter, about to be converted
to the Russian church. The Grand Duke
Louis. however, took a different view of
matters. He was indignant and openly
objected to his daughter being coerced as
to her religious profession and wanted to
bring her home. Then ensued a CORE
spondence between the father and
the grandmother, the former urging,
the latter deprecatlnE interference,
hut before anything could be done
the Russian imperial family, apprehen-
sive of the disgrace that would attach to
them should the grand duchess leave her
husband, made the official announcement
of her conversion, and then speedily toll
lowed the decree appointing Sergius gov
ernor OF Moscow. and removing him and
his wife to that interior Russian city. far
from the ~glimpses of England and Ger
many that NAV occasionally be caught at
St. Petersburg. It is not at all certain
that the end is yet. The Grand Duke

toria to the English PEOPLE IN behalf of
his daughter, and whatever the result
may be he has certainly succeeded in ex-
citing a strong public sentiment

sions today on $500 bail. She refused to
give her name To any one but her
lawer, LOUIS Allen, and he fur
nished the boudsmon. Mrs. John
son has spent two nights in Jail. She is
evidently a OF intelligence. When
arrested she wore a handsome sealskin
coat and had diamonds in her ears. There
were checks for 5000 in her pocketboOk
and SOS 10 money. Mrs. JOhnson's real
name was on her pass from New York to
Albany, but before any one could read
the name she destroyed the pass. This
morning she told Louis Allen her name
and history. She is the widow of a man
at one time well known in Washington,
aud since his death has been living there
most of the time. She has plenty of
money and says she does not know why
she stole the stockings at Storms. One
OF her daughters is the wife of a govern
ment employe, and she is married to a
Baltimore business man. Mrs johnson
cam to this city on Saturday to visit her
son, who is employed by a large corpora
ton here. lie does not vet know that
his mother was arrested for shop-liiting.
Mrs. johnson tod Mr.. Allen that she was
willing to make any sacrifice rather than
have her son or her friends know of her
disgrace. For that reason she refused to
send Tor any OF her friends here to give
bail for her. Her case will come up in a
few DAYS in special sessions.

A chiropodist says: Since the streets be.
came so muddy | nave had a number of
sufferers apply to me for relief. If a man
has a corn | can take it out and relieve
him, but if he is suffering from what l call
rubber fever" l cant help him and can
only prescribe liberal foot bathing and q
removal of the cause of the trouble. Rub
bers should only be worn to keep wet out,
and they should be removed the moment
the wearer gets indoors. Failure to note
this gives "A man wet feet in a far worse
sense than if he had waded through mud
ankle deep. 1t was the trouble resulting
from forcing the perspiration to soak the
stockings and keep the feet perpGtually
damp that drove rubber soled boots out OF
the market. Even loose rubbers are a
source of danger and the cause of many
more serious colds than they avert.-St

OMAHA, March 25.-The storm which
prevailed today was general throughout
Nebraska. Dispatches from all over the
state indicate hat the snowfall cover the
largest area of auy storm OF the winter.
ln the regions visited by drouth last sum
mer the snow was especially heavy.
Holdrege telegraphs that the snow is from
two to four feet deep. and McCook,
Broken Bow, Chadron and other points
send similar reports.
The storm has done little. if anv, dam
age. Trains are but slightly interfered
with, owing to the fact that the snow is
not accompanied by wind and is too wet
to drift. 1t is 10 the nature of a blessing
to this portion of the state. The weather
is cloudy. not cold, and the prospects are
for more snow or rain.
