A HUNDRED YEARS NARcH OF This RSpuBIIc.
The eleventh census was OF unusual In
terest and importance from the fact that
II would show the advance or hundred
years march of the hepubhc, the hrst
century OF the nations life. The first
census had been taken In 1890, the year
after the formation of the Government
under the Constitution, and the result
OF the last enumeration would FURNISH
the material and mark the growth during
this Important period. on the first OF
June the work OF enumeration was be-
run, and with the exception or a Few
outstanding districts that month closed
With the census practically completed.
Then followed the shipment OF the SEIZED
,ies to the Office and the first rough
tabulation. In october OF the same year
the results were announced. and IL was
found that the population. exclusive OF
indians not taxed. according 10 the
phrase OF the Constitution, was 81 GO. go
And this total will stand for all time 10
come The count was pushed with such
energy that the census office had the
oficial returns ready on the convenlng
OF Congress In 1880 causing no delay in
the apportionment OF national representa-
ton. which was made two years i'm al
vance OF any other census
OF course there were many who ex-
pected larger total, and among them
the superintendent himself. The work
had been done with unusual care. As far
as possible the weak spots In the work
OF 1880 had been strengthened. The usual
complaints Of cities and ambitious towns
were answered by partial recounts or by
evidence OF the correctness OF the count,
while those making unreasonable and
partisan attacks for political purposes
were given an opportunity 10 make the

ballatic tests, but your committee have
ascertained the whereabouts OF SO repre-
sentative plates, alleged to have been
ia lsely treated"
The plates recommended for testing
are four On the Monterey, eight on the
Monadnock, four on the New York, four
on the Amphrite, three on the Terror,
three on the Oregon, three on the Olym-
pic four-inch casements), seven on the
Indiana, four on the Massschu ,ette and
one on the Oregon. OF the four-inch
sponsons there are three on the New
York, two on the Columbia, three ON the

on the Cincinnati and two On the

The report concludes: "The commit.
tee can 90 no further into this investiga-
tion without knowing the actual ballistic

test of plates that did not really repre-
ent these groups. The company has
admitted this charge. II the government

be made at the expense of the govern

should be made, your committee has
selected the plates which, in their opin-

THE A. P. A. QUESTION.
RICHARD KERENS DISCUSSES THE
MATTER.
He Says tho Membsrs Of the Order are

Beggars Dangerous to

New YORK, Aug. 23.-Richard @.
Kerens OF Missouri, member of the Re-
publica- national committee, and whose
attempt to. have the Missouri Republi-
can convention, recently held; place it
self upon record as opposed to the A. P.
A. failed, is in the city.
To q newspaper reporter who inter-
viewed him upon the matter he said he
had no intention of carrying the A. P.
A. question before the national COM
mittaa.
1.-THE A. P. AS" ne said, "are lot
OF bushwhacking politicians and beg.
gsrs. They swim back and forth be-
tween parties, and corrupt ward and city
politics of both parties. Many fear that
this attempt OF this element foreign to
the party, with its pernicious doctrine,
to fasten itself to the Republican party.
will drive away hundreds of Thousands
of honest votes. The Republican party
is less friendly than any other party to
such doctrines, and will not fail, in my
judgment. to meet this issue, If it can be
called such, manfully."

MERIDIAN, Miss, Aug. 23.-Fully
10000 people assembled at the encamp-
ment grounds this afternoon to witness
the, sham battle by the National guard.
Several serious accidents occurred on
the grounds. caused by the recklessness
of Capt. R. R. Stevens, U. s. A., who is
stationed in Nebraska and who
was ordered here to act as in
structor. This officer was mounted and
endeavored to rush the spectators back
by riding at fast speed over them.
Women and children were knocked
down and trampled upon by his horse.
Efforts were made to dismount him, but
he succeeded in escaping by the con-
slant fire of cannon in the direction oi
the crowd. Orders were issued by the
city authorities to arrest him at once
Strong feeling exists and the officer will
be made to answer for his recklessnesl

EzETA's STORY. 8 ET
To a reporter Ezeta, who does not
speak English, told his story with the
assistance of Lieutenant Coffin OF the
Bennington, an interpreter. Ezeta says
that between the 29th OF April and May
Sd, three battles were fought near Santa
Ana, in which HE forces we're defeated.
Ezsta was wounded in the head on May
Sd and was concealed in hut. Two
weeks later, with 800 Of his folio wers, he
made his way to the sea coast. There
he found the Bennington and asked for
refuge until the steamer San Bias should
arrive on her way north. four days later.
When the San Bias arrived the refugees
were not allowed to board her, but were
kept against their will on the Benning'
ton.
Ezeta explains the charge OF murder
against him by saying that he did not
kill the man, but that the teamster who
tried to intercept him was shot by one
OF his men, an American. Lieutenant
Coffin corroborated this story.
As regards the bank robbery, Ezets
saws he took the money from the bank
and gave his receipt for it as presiden
of the republic, and used it to pay hi
soldiers. This be claims he had righ
to do under the laws OF the country.
General Bustamenta, who is accused
OF hanging four men. admits that h,
hanged them, but says the men we're de
serters from the army. In fact ell th'
offenses charged against the refugees ar,
explained by them - being committed
while attempting to fulfill the laws o
