COMMERCIAL CLUB DIRECTORS.
Meeting Mostly Occupied with ChrySanthe-
mum-Sbow Railroad Rates.

The directors of the Commercial Club
yesterday approved the report of the CON-
mIttee on membership, which
ed the admission of five new members. A
balance of 81. $50 was reported liz the treas
ury. A communication was received from
the managers of the chrysanthemum show
asking the assistance of the club in secur-
ing . one-fare-for-t he-round-trip rate at
the annual. chry santbemum exhibit next
month. The letter further suggested that
the wholesale and leading retail mer-
chants are not showing the inter-
est in the affair that its impOr-
lance deserves. 1t was pointed ont
that the public interest IN the show has
shown ayearly increase, and is every year
drawing q larger crowd into the city. The
discussion brought out that the committee
on city interests succeeded last year in
making arrangements for q rate, but did
not receive it, owing to q blunder on tho
part of the secretary of the Central Traffic
Association, who named the wrong date in
his notices. The letter and a request were
again referred to the committee on city in
teresta The directors then adjourned.

PURSUED BY A STORM OF BULLETS.
North Indianapolis People Have an Exciting
Chase After q Burglar.

About S:45 last night another bold attempt
was made to rob the North Indianapolis
depot of Che Big Four road. Robert Mid
stepped over to his home. q short distance
away. after q bucket of water. and when
be returned he saw q man leaving the de-
pot platform. His suspicious were
aroused and he stepped inside
the building after his revolver,
which had been in q desk
drawer. He found the drawer open, the re-
volver gone and the papers in the desk
strewn about in the greatest disorder as If
the desk had been hurridly searched. He
ran out of the depot and called to the
stranger whom he had met to halt. Instead
of dong so, the stranger ran down the
track. Middleton pursued him about one
block INT then gave up the chase and re-
turned. He went to Hitzen berger's saloon
at the corner of the canal aud McLain street
explained the situation and borrowed q re-
volver. Going back down the railroad. he
met the bold thief walking leisurely mp the
by surprise. and did not suspect HIM of be-
ing the thief on account OF his apparent
unooncern about passing the depot. . He
spoke to the man, however, and said he
would like to speak to him. whereupon the
man drew his revolver and replied: What
the hi do You want to speak to me fort"
Before Middleton was aware of what was
coming the man turned and lied up the
tracks. AS he passed ~Hitzenberger's
saloon some half dozen persons. all with
revolvers, joined in the chase and sent q
hall-storm of bullets after the man. but
they all few wide and the man didn't stop.
Middleton says he conld identify the man
were ne TO see him again and believes that
it was q man who had been loatng around
the suburb during the day trying to pawn
some cheap jewelry.
with burglars. Somewhat over . year ago
he received a bullet in the side in o fight
with q burglar. The town turned out last
night and nothing could be heard except
the attempted burglary.

STABBED BIZ A MANIAC.
Maggie Myers, an Attendant at the Insane
Asylum, Assaulted by a Patient.

Maggie Myers. an attendant in the WON
ans department of the Central Hospital
for the Insane, was stabbed four times.
yesterday. by one of the patients. named
Lizzie Burke. of Hancock county. She Is
thirty-five years of age. and has been an
inmate in the institution for a number of
years. Her conduct has been so quiet and
orderly. from the hospital standard. that
no outbreak of the kind was anticipated.
The assault occurred when the attendant
was giving the Burke woman y bath.
Patients are not allowed to have sharp
instruments. and Miss Myers was trimming
the nails of her chargewith q pair of scis-
sors. Suddenly the latter snatcbed the
SCISSORS from her attendant. and began TO
stab her. The points entered the flesh of
the face, shoulders and arms, making very
painful. but not serious wounds. Help was
summoned quickly, and the insane woman
disarmed. The affair created much excite
ment in the ward. DIR. Wright gave per-
sonal attention TO the wounds of the at
teudant.

SEX IN POPULATION.
Omcial stntistics Showing tho Various
Changes In Numbers, Nationality nnd
Location OF tho People In
This Country.

The population in this country is
pretty we'll divided between tho two
sexes, although according to bulletin
just issued from the census Office there
arc about / SOC, 900 moro males than fc-
males in the G2,500,000 of population.
In the New England and middle states
states there arc $4,000 moro females
than males. In the south middle Sec
ton, including the district, the fcraulcs
outnumbcr the males by SOHO 10000.
While in the northern central section
Of the country as far west Us Nebraska
the males arc in the majority by over
5000 in the south central portion this
excess reaches only about 100000. In
the western section of the country the
prcdominancc of the males is shown by
majority of over 10000
In this district the males number only
1Oo,5S4, while the females number 12o,-
sos; 51.21 per cent. of the total popula-
tion returned in 1890 arc males end 43. 20
percent arc females. In 1850 the males
represented 50.SS per cent. and the fc-
males 4o.12 per cent. The percentages
of males and females in 1870 were about
the same us those just stated fer 1850,
or 50.5G per cent. for males a1l 4J.4A
per cent. for females. while IN 1860 they
were very nearly similar to those given
for 1900, or 81. 1G per cent. for males and
1884 per cent. for females. The excess
of males over females in 1890 is 1,5I3,-
$40, rs against IN excess in 1880 of So, =
ST.. In 1870 tic males only exceeded
the females by 423, ,750, whereas in 1860
there were T27, ,0S7 moro males than fc-
males. In 1859 the males exceeded the
females by 4s3,44 The very large e:i-
cess of males in 1890 iS readily accounted
for by the greatly increased number Of
immigrants who have como to this coun-
try since 1880, over thrce-Gfths OF the
entire number of immigrants being
males. ..
Analysing the results of the diotribu-
tion of population according to native
and foreign born, it seems that II. AZ per
cent of the pcpu alton in 1890 ere for
ciGn born, as against 13 Sc per cent. in
1850 and 0.GS per cent. in 1850. The
native born in 1850 represented 90.33
per cent. of the whole population, while
in 1900 they represented 1913 per cent.
According to the census in 1890 there
Urc in the United States -, ,0G3, 500 white
persons and 9,G3S,3G colorcd persons,
meaning by ''colorcd" persons, thCGc Of
African descent, Chinese, Japanese and
civilized Indians. There has been IN
increase in the white from 1850 to 1890
Of li,5SO,0@0, CT 2G.GS per cent, and IN
increase in the colorcd for the Same de-
ca'ic of SS5, ,547, or 1918 per cent. For
the decade from 1870 to 1850 the white
Increased CO., per cent. and the col
orcd, apparently, $500 per cent. AS
has already been explained in previous
bulletins, however, the increase from
1870 to 1850 was to a certain extent fic-
titious, particularly as regards tho col
orcd population of the south.

FALL OF THE EMIR SAMORY.
THE FRENCH CAPTURE HTs CAPITAL,
AND HE rLEES ron HIS LIFE

He Violated the Treaty By which He Had
Placed 1,Sooyoe0 People Under the Pro-
tectioa or France-Ths Story OF n Slave
who Cswe to Rule Country Larger
than Most European states-His End
Last week the cable brought tho news that
the Emir Samory. who has cut q greater figure
In western Africa within the past f1fteen years
than any other native had been defeated By
the French and was fugitive from his capt.
tai. There seems no doubt that his prestige
and power have ut Inst been destroyed. The
French have vanpuished their most bitter and
formidable enemy, man who rose from
humble slave to be the ruler OF q million and
half OF people and OF a country in the western
Soudan. cast Of Liberia and Sierra Loone. that
Is larger than most European States.
Lieut. Col. Humbert left France In Sep.
tember last to organize an eXpeditionary
column against Samory. His bnse of opera
tons was the French post OF Siguiri. upon the
Upper Niger. His objective point was Bissan-
dugu. the large capital Of Samory. On Jan. I
last he loft Siguiri with force OF little over
1000 men. of whom 140 we're Europeans. and
600 were Tiralleurs. or trained Senegalese
soldiers. On Jan. q he reached Kankan. and
little beyond that town he found the enemy
determined to stop his progress toward tho
capital. Samory had been getting ready for
the struggle. He had purchased large num-
her of guns from British merchants at Sierra
Leone. Tho French complain bitterly that
munitions Of war were provi led from British
territory to be used against them.
Col Humberts force was attacked by about
10000 Of Samory's warriors. The attacking
force was strong enough in numbers to an
initiate the advancing column. but the French
had this great advantage: Their guns could
DO used effectively nearly twice tho distance ut
which tho arms in the hands OF the enemy
were serviceable. They Ind. besides Maxim
