Thirty Russian immigrants en- route

A COMPARISON OF RETURNS.

superintendent Porter OF the Census
Bureau Proves by Figures Marked
Falling or in the Rate of Increase
Both in the United States and Eng
land.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Superintendent
Porter of the census bureau speaking to a
reporter to-day made comparison of the
census returns of the United States with
those of England and Wales according to
the census of 1881 was 25,974, 4S9, an
actual increase of 3,262, 173 over the pre-
vious decade, or 1875 per cent.
In 1891 the population was about
29,000,000, an increase of 3,025, sol,
or only 11.64 per cent. over the
previous decade, decrease in the rate of
increase from IA. SO per cent. to 1164 per
cent. Figures for the United States show
that, according to the last census, there
was an increase of 24.57 per cent. from
1880 to 1890, as against 3O0S per cent.
from 1870 to 1880. In both the English CEN
sus and the census of the United States
there was marked falling off in the rate of
increase. If we compare the rate of in
crease for England 1881 to 1891 with the
rate for 1871 to 1881 We find that the for
mer is just 0.S1 times the latter. If in
like manner we compare the rates of
increase for the United States we find that
the rate from 1880 to 1890 is Just O.S2
times the rate of increase from 1870 to
1880. From this we see that the
falling off in the rate of increase in Eng
land is about the same as the falling off in
the rate of increase in the United States
Whatever criticisms have been made
against the United States census of 1890
on this basis, would, therefore, it seems
to me, apply with equal force to the enum-
Grafton of 1891 for England and Wales.n

-Results ON the Races at Morris
Park and Brighton Beach.
CLEVELAND, July 29.-The grand cir
cult races to-day developed many sensa-
tons. The crowd was big, the weather
cool and the track fast. There were four
events-the 2:21 class trot, unfinished
yesterday, the 2:19 class trotting, the
free-for-all pacing, and the 1927 class
trotting. In the 2:19 class Temple Bar
was the favorite and it soon became ap-
parent that his driver, George E. Spear,
was not trying to win. After the third
heat drivers were changed and Temple Bar
won in straight heats. At the conclusion
of the race, the horse, his driver and the
owner, DR.. S. Sale of Kentucky, were
expelled from the National Trotting asso-
citation.
In the first heat of the race st. Elmo's
sulky collided with that of Leicester, and
the former ran away. Splan, his driver,
was thrown to the ground and the horse
was sent to the barn. The performance of
Hal Pointer, in the free-for-all pace, was
remarkable. He not only broke the track
record for PAGERS, 2:114, but made the
three fastest heats ever paced in a race
Fast time was made in the 1927 class also.
Following are the summarizes:

THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION

Target Firing by the Naval Militia
interchangeable Firing of High Or
der of Merit-Governor Hill of New
York Among the Interested Specta-
tors-A salute OF Seventeen Guns
Fired i'm His Honor.
NEW LONDON, Conn, July 29.-To-day
the naval militia had their target firing
with heavy guns. The Yorktown and
torpedo boat Gushing were sent out at an
early hour to place the target and marks
for the boats to observe the fall of shots.
At 9:15 the squadron got under way and
stood out into Block Island sound, the
ships in column, the flagship leading. The
target was placed at the apex of a triangle,
of which each side was ], 800 feet and the
base 2, 100 feet. At each angle of the base
was placed an observing boat. The ships
passed along this base line, one at time,
at moderate speed, commencing the fir
ing after passing the first observing boat
and ceasing FIRE after passing the second.
Each naval militia crew fired two shots
from heavy modern rife. The
hrlng was very good-exceptionall
good-as the first experience.
A shot from the Boston, the fourth vessel
in line, either struck or capsized the tar
get and it became necessary to Law out
another one, which caused some DELAY. In
the strong tidal current and deep water
the targets would not lie well to their an
chors. For the secondary battery fire
that with the machine and rapid FIRE guns
the ships were brought close together at
half distance in column and in that order
steamed into the triangle and began their
firing together. Shortly before this the
steamer Stonington with Governor Hill on
board came out from New London to the
squadron to witness the firing.
The secondary battery practice was ex-
cellent, one of the shots completely demol-
ishing the target. All the firing was done
by militiamen.
At the end of the exercises the squadron
reformed in column and steamed in for
the anchorage. The Stonington passed
along the whole length of the column re-
ceiving a salute from the marine guard
paraded on the deck of each vessel. As
she approached the flagship, the flag of
New York was floating at the main and a
governors salute of seventeen guns was
fired.
After the squadron anchored Admiral
Walker paid his respects to Governor Hill
on board the Stonington, and Immediately
afterwards the governor returned to ad-
mirars call on board the Chicago. The
governor and his staff were then sent back
to New London on the fast torpedo boat
Gushing in time for the evening train.
