NOT MUCH or AN INCREASE.

An Excess of Only $500 Shown in the
Districts Population So Far.
Returns OF the census have been made to
Chief Clerk Sylvester by six of the nine po-
lice precincts. These only show an approxi-
mate increase in the population OF about
2.sCO. 1t is likely that the other precincts
will show greater increase.
Mr.. Sylvester thinks that it will be shown
that the District has grown in population
about 10000. and that the total will be from
265. 600 to 268 GOO. The last census displayed
apopulation of 1851
1t is desired that any inhabitants who have
been missed by the enumerators shall notify
the policeman on the beat or headquarters.

Capitol Notes.

A political canvas of the House indicates
that the free ship bill probably can not pass,
and 1t may not, therefore, be taken up for ac-
tion.
The House yesterday passed the bill trans
fering to the Supreme Court the jurisdiction
to decide questions OF title to the Potomac
fats. The question at issue was whether the
case belonged to the Supreme Court or the
court of appeals.
John Harralson, recently convicted Of pen
sion frauds at Pine Bluff. Ark, was once a
reconstruction member OF Congress from Ala
bama. He was recently arrested at Fort
Smith, Ark, for forging the name of Lewis
Osborne on pension check and presenting
false affidavits and for Illegally withholding
pension money. The investigation of his
fraudulent transactions was begun last Au-
gust by Special Examiner Crutchfield.
Boy Released Man Fined-An understood
colored boy answered to the name of Red
mond Gardner in the police court yesterday.
He told the Judge he was only ten years of
age, and said his mother and father compelled
him to tote" policy plays across the Long
Bridge to the Jackson City shops for them.
In accepting the boys personal bonds his
honor said the parents should be brought
into court and punished. Charles Stewart, a
colored adult policy runner, did not fare as
well as the boy He was fined $50 or sixty
days, and went down.

The Dangers of opthalmia.

1nllammations and granulations of the eyelids are, according to reliable authori- ties, increasing rapidly. Especially is this the case in all public charitable institu- tions for children as well as in the district schools of many localities. Redness or inflammation of the eyes has been by many scarcely looked upon as a disease, but as it leads to more serious conse- auences, often to affections that result in total blindness, its spread is looked upon with considerable apprehension, and ef- forts are to be made to check it. All per sons should understand that redness of tho ' eyelids is probably an indication of gran lilations of tho inner surface of the lids and is highly contagious disease. It is spread by persons making use of tho same towels or toilet basins or by the not un- usual practice of applying the handker- chief to the eyes of several persons-an act that cannot be too severely criticised. Upon the first appearance of this malady the patient should apply to some skillful oculist for wash to use in the eyes and should carefully keep all toilet articles away from other members of the family New York Ledger.

FEW IRON CLADs
AMONG THE ATTACKING VESSELS OF THE
 JAPs-cHINEsE PREPARING TRAPS.

 AMONG THE ATTACKING VESSELS OF THE
 JAPs-cHINEsE PREPARING TRAPS.
 LONDON. Aug. 13.-The Central News correspondent in Shanghai says that there were only few iron clads among the Japs vessels that attacked ports Arthur and Wei Hai- Wei. Most of the fleet were mer- chantmen who had been converted hastily into cruisers and were carrying troops for work ashore. What has become of the Japs fleet since the morning of the 11th mo- body in Shanghai has heard. There is considerable apprehension among the Chi nese ou the yellow seq, and small steam vessels are scouting constantly, but no view of the hostile squadron was obtained either yesterday or today. The Chinese were alarmed greatly by the attack on Wei Hai- Wei.
 More submarine Chinese mines have been laid before Taku and Wei -Hai Wei.
 The British war ship Mercury left Chefoo Saturday noon for Wei Hai- Wei to meet the foreigners at the latter port. Many of the bnoys along the Chinese coast, most notably in the neighborhood of the threat ened ports, have been removed. A strong Chinese fleet has left the coast. The im- rression in Shanghai is that thls fleet will seek to intercept the transports which are carrying Japanese troops to Corea.

American War Methods.

It is worth recalling that America has three times had the honor of reyolutioniz- ing the art of war. To American armies was due tho introduction of the scout or open order system of fighting, with all the concomitants of skirmishers, rifle pits, etc. Foreign nations were slow to adopt it, but it came at last and is now univer- sal. America, too, was the first to intro- duce the extensive use of the rife and of sights on naval guns. Today the rifle is tho universal arm of tho infantry, and a cannon without sights or means for accu- rate laying is as useless as one without powder.
 Tho third revolution was the introduce tion of the monitor, and here the honor belongs to the individual rather than to the nation Despite all that may have been said to the contrary, Captain Erics- sons traditional "cheesebox on raft" was an entirely unique construction. The idea had never been previously carried into practice and certainly had never been put into successful form, The work of the monitor produced revolution in na- val ideas, of which the full extent has thus far been only inadequately realized.
