Terrible Siberia,

Siberia has no less bad name for
lawlessness than for climate, for con-
victs escape from confinement during
summer and prowl about preying upon
the inhabitants. This is often done
with the connivance of the police au-
thorities, it is said, who not merely
draw the allowance for the escaped
convict but accept part of the spoil
when he returns with the approach of
winter, when no robber can live in the
woods or on the road through the long
months of severe frost. An attempt Is
about to be made to reform the admins
tration, chiefly with the view of sep.
aratmg the office of JUICE Construction,
or examining judge; from police func-
tiohH. In each town and village of
western Siberia there rs to be, accord
ing to the proposal coming before the
imperial council; creation of Justices
the peace. The present provincial
ihrnals will fulfill the functions of a

WASHINGTON STATE.

A bulletin just issued from the Cen
sus Bureau reveals some noteworthy
facts concerning the population of
that young State OF Washington.
The population OF the State in 1880
was 1916; in 1890 a population OF
349,3CO WIS returned, an increase of
2I4,274, or 365.13 per cent. - - -
: The growth, OF urban population in
Washington is one OF the most aston
ishiDg features Of the eleventh census.
In 1880 the largest body of urban
population in the State Of Washing
ton was found ut Walla Walla, which
had population of 1858. The next
largest body of urban population was
Seattle, with a population of 1858.
Up TO June l; 1890, Seattle had in
creased 39,304, or 11l2.49 per cent.
The population Of Seattle in 1890 was
-42,837. Tacoma and spokane Falls
both exhibit an extraordinary in
crease. The former increased from
1908 in 1880 to 36,OO6 in 1890, and the
latter from $50 in 1880 to 1922 in
1890. -..... ...
Washington has twenty cities and
towns having 1,50O or more inhubi-
tants Nine Of these vigorous young
cities were unknown in 1880. Two of
, them-Fairhaven and Whateom--
We're not even dreamed of.
+ No other city in the Union made
such an increase in population as
Spokane Falls during the decade 1890
1890. AS stated, the population in
1880 was $50 and in 1890 it was 1892,
an increase Of 1892 per cent.
To be sure during the decade en-
braced III the eleventh census there
we're most unusual conditions created
for developing the State. Four trans
influential railways, the Northern
Pacific, Union Pacific, Southern Pa
c.ic and Canadian Pacific, put the
State in close communication with
every other State in the Union.
Without the railroads Washington
would not now be State. The peo-
pie have beer enterprising and dis.
posed to fos or any and all plans for
developing the State. It. is that pro-
gressive spirit that has attracted
Eastern AMI foreign capital. The
Older States will .vor have occasion
to regret that Washington was add
mitted into their ssterhood.-IS f.

His Health Is Announced tn BE FailiDg-Na-
tional Committee Meeting Called.
PHILADELPHIA, July 1s.-When United
States Senator Quay was in Philadelphia
last week, en- route from Atlantic City to
his home in Beaver. he told friend that he
would probably resign before long from
the chairmanship of the Republican ma
tional committee He gave as his reason
the fact that his health was not very good
and he did not feel like taking upon him
self the work of another Presidential cam
paIgn. He will remain q member of the
committee, but proposed to retire from the
position as head of the organization which
imposed so much hard work. ALI the local
Republican leaders who were in town
yesterday admitted that they had
knowledge of Senator Quay's intention to
resign. Senator Quay stated at the close
of the last campaign that he would not
hold the position Of chairman In another
presidential campaign under any consider
alton. For days and nights. he said. after
the election he could not sleep. lie has
been troubled with insomnia ever since.
and his friends have known for q long time
past that he could not be induced by any
possible consideration to hold the chair
manship in the coming presidential CAM
paign. The fact was developed yesterday
that before the departure of ex-Internal
Revenue Collector Martin on his Western
trip be had meeting with Senator Quay
and others at which il was definitely stated
by the Senator that he would resign the
Craftsmanship not later than September,
and that Gen. James s. Clarkson. of Iowa.
would succeed him as chairman.
Senator Quay has issued call for the
meeting of the executive committee of the
Republican national committee. The date
of the meeting is the E9th of this month.
The report Is that of the principal
things to he discussed at the meeting OF the
executive committee will be the question
of the date of the next Republican national
convention. Senator Quay and other lead
ing members of the committee are said to
be IN favor of holding the convention at an
earlier date than usual-the month of May
having been suggested as the time at which
to fix the date. The conventions of the
party have heretofore been held in June.

ORIGIN OF SALTON LAKE.
Stream Two Miles Wide from the Colorado
That Cannot Be Checked.

Los ANGELES, CAL, July 1S-Engineer
Swaine. of the Southern Pacific. has re-
turned here. and reports that about twenty
miles south and east of Flowing Wells. his
party came &c the stream which supplies
the desert lake at Salton. and which flows
at this point north and south. The river
was found to be all the way
from two hundred feet to several
miles wide. and averaged about
two feet in depth. The current was
rather low, though considerable water was
flowing through the channel. The party
was not able to cross the river. and the ex-
tent of the lower. or Indian Wells basin.
was not ascertained. but it was thought 10
be larger than that at Salton. The lower
lake is connected by Hardy's Colorado with
the gulf, and the water flows with
the tide. Swalne does not think it pos
sIble to repair the breaks in the
Colorado but does not take a serious view
of the flood and considers the railroad
track In no danger. He thinks the stream
from the Colorado is a permanent one. and
that there is good deal of country near
the Mexican line which will be- rendered
valuable by the availability of water for
lrrigating purposes.
