Superintendent Porter's Report.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Superin-
tendent Porter of the census bureau to-
day made public bulletin upon the
subject of the distribution of population
according to density.
The most striking fact which appears,
says Mr.. Porter, is the numerous addi-
tiOns which have been made to the set
tied area within the Cordillian region.
Settlements have sped westward up the
slope of the plains until they have joined
the bodies formerly isolated in Colora-
do, forming a continuous body of settle
ment from the east to the Rocky noun
tains. Practically the whole of Kansas
has become settled region and the un-
settled area of Nebraska has been re-
duced in dimensions to third to what
it was ten years ago. What vas a
sparsely settled region in Texas in 1880
is now the most populous part of the
state. while settlements have spread
westward TO the escarpment of the
Stal1ed Plains. OF all the western
states and territories, Nevada alone is
at standstill in this respect. its settled
area remaining practically the same as
in 1890

Shot Her Brother.

PLATTEvILLE, Wis, April PA
shooting ARRAY occurred in the neigh
boring city of Shullsburg to-day, which
was the result of a long existing feud
between Henry Ivey and his sister, Mrs.
Jacob Blatz, we'll known residents of
that place. Ivey had threatened to kill
his sister, and last evening attempted
to enter her house for that purpose. 1t
is alleged, when she fired at him he
was crossing the threshold The bull
let entered Ivey's neck, and passing
through the wind pipe lodged in the
back of his neck, producing what is
thought to be a mortal wound. Mrs.
Blatz was placed under arrest, and at
her examination, which was held to-
day, she was held to await the result of
her brothers injuries. The general
opinion is that the shooting was justifi-
able.

Spain an i America.

MADRID, April 21.-The reciprocity
convention between Spain and the
United States, as drafted by Premier
Canovas del Castillo, representing Spain,
and General Foster, representing the
United States, is based, as far as the
United States is concerned, on the third
or reciprocity section of the new Amer
lean tariff law. In return for the priv
ilege of free entry into the United
States of Antilles sugars, molasses, cof-
fee and hides, and reduction of the
duty on tea, America will obtain ex-
emption from duties on most of her raw
and manufactured products, and re-
duction of the tariff on cereals and flour.
The advantage resulting to Cuba and
other Spanish colonies will be great, but
it is impossible to estimate the injury to
Spanish trade.

England in for Another War.

LONDON, April 22.-Advices received
here from Bathurst, the capital of
Gambia, seem to show that Great Brit
ain has another war upon her hands.
The native king of Gambia has COM
mitted and allowed to be committed a
number of depredations and abuses
upon British colonists. An English en-
voy was sent to the king to warn him to
behave himself. The king had the en-
voy seized and bound, Portions of the
ENJOYS cheeks and thighs were cut out
by the kings orders, and later on the
envoy, together with the portions of
his body which had been cut out, were
sent to the British garrison at Bath
urst with the following message: '"This
is the kings answer" Three British
gunboats are on the scene to avenge the
outrage upon the envoy.

The Wheat Bubble,

CHICAGO, April 21.-The excitement
among traders on change, which pre-
vailed during the latter half of last
week, has continued to-day, but its in
fuence was chiefly confined to wheat.
The result of the days trading was an
advance of &c for May wheat and PC for
July, at the close, compared with the
closing figures of Saturday. The great
appreciation in the price of the July
option would seem to indicate that
about all of the short interest in May
has been liquidated.

Hon. Murray YandiYer.

The Baltimore argus of last week publish
es portrait of Hon. Murray Vandiver, of
Hartford county, Democratic candidate for the
Legislature, and Secretary and Treasurer of
the Democratic State Central Committee, to-
gether with an appreciative notice of Mr..
Vandiver's nomination, from the Havre de
Grace Republican. The argus says:
eve give the likeness of Murray Vandiver,
of Hartford county, familiar as household
words" to every Democrat of Maryland. For
years he has stood prominently forth in the
counsels, the management, the direction ofthe
party as the Woodworking ,painstaking, concil-
iating, courteous and affable Secretary of the
Democratic State Central Committee. We
remember some years ago, impressed by his
magnetism as it were, we asked the chairman
ofthe committee the why and wherefore of
Vandiver's personality, so to speak. "Ah !"
said he, "you don't know him; he is simply
invaluable: thorough man of business.
Watchful, careful, he keeps eyes and fingers
on all business and is careful manager of
details Then his unfailing good humor,
courteousness, affability commend him to the
various sorts of people we come in contact
with. Yes" said he, "Vandiver is most
valuable man here, or, indeed, anywhere"
For MANY years his family has been prom
inent in Hartford county, and Murray Vandi-
yer is worthy inheritor of their sturdy char
acter and good virtues. He has long been
prominently identified in political life, and
his incumbenoy of the mayoralty chair of
Havrede Grace is yet seen in the improve
ment of streets and other ways to the advant-
age of that beautiful town. He is candidate
this year for the House of Delegates, where
he has previously served with fidelity, zeal
and great credit.

SEPT. THE Paper Mills have recently put
In three new turbine water wheels of two hum
dred horse power each. They now have alto
gether six wheels, aggregating 1,SOO horse
power. They have also recently erected five
new iron digesters. These digesters are i'm
mense iron cylinders, in which pine wood is
been cut into small pieces. The wood is
brought in barrels from Maine to Havre-de-
Grace, where it is shipped by canal boats.
Formerly the composition called sulphite had
to be imported from Germany, but with i'm
proved machinery the company are now enabled
to manufacture it.
New wood rooms are also now being erected
over the water wheels, in which the wood is cut
up into the chips for the digesters.
This establishment gives employment to over
one hundred men, and is run to it's full capacity
night and day.

The amendment, it will be observed, does
not command the Legislature to exempt any
kind of property. 1t only grants permission
to do so, but specifies, at the same time, the
only kind of property which may be exempt
ed.
1t is urged by those who oppose the amend
ment that the Legislature may under its pro-
visions discriminate uDjustly against farmers.
There need be no fears on this score, we
think. Farmers are in the majority in this
State and can control legislation if they
choose. The signs of the times indicate that
they are intellgently alive to their own in
terests and abundanlly able to take care of
themselves.
Therefore, with the light we now have
upon this amendment, we can see no harm
which could happen from its passage, but, on
the contrary, the opportunity for legislation
which would relieve farmers of part of the
burden of taxation which under the present
article and laws framed upon it they are un-
Justly bearing.

"A correspondent of the London Times,
who has just returned from a two months
journey through Russia, says famine is i'm
pending in that country. In addition to
short crops he found vast areas of territory
in which the crops are rotting from want of
means in the hands of farmers to harvest
them. This want grows out of the fact that
Jewish merchants have heretofore advanced
money to farmers on their growing crops.
The Cars cruel edicts against the Jews is
driving them out of the country, and with the
prospect before them Of confiscation of their
property the Jews withheld the customary
advances. The correspondent thinks that
the Gar and his half-civilized advisers in
tend to drive out of Russia all foreigners, and
seize their property. This would raise q
storm that might be disastrous to Russia.
