THE PORTER CENSUS.
Commissioner Wrights Report Upon
Its Operation.

Commissioner Wrights Report Upon
Its Operation.
Washington, August 9.-Carrol d.
Wright, United States commissioner OF
labor, has forwarded to the secretary
of the interior his report on the opera
lions of the eleventh census during the
fiscal year 1894-95. The report places
the total cost of the census up to date
$1O,431, 142. The appropriation now
available will be enough to finish all
the work, except the final printing and
binding. The chief cause Of delay has
been the population schedule of the
population volume. Great care has
been exercised to eliminate errors. The
only other parts remaining uncomplet-
ed are the vital statistics, part OF the
compendium and the second edition OF
the abstract and the statistical atlas.
MI. Wright hopes that the whole
work of the census may be completed
and given to the public before the end
of the present calendar year. Seven
volumes of the report, giving names OF
veterans of the war. their rank, SER
vices and present address, have been
turned over to the pension office. These
returns will be of great value to SOL
diers wishing to complete their claims.

IN THIS COUNTRY,
rivals at San Francisco Outnumber
Those of All Other Countries.

Arrivals at San Francisco Outnumb Der
Those of All Other Countries.
San Francisco, August 9.-Labor
Commissioner Fitzgerald has gathered
much data for his memorial to con-
gress upon Japanese immigration.
Among other things ne had learned
that the Orientals are going into ship
building and that they can construct
vessels at So per ton less than the rul-
ing rate. Besides, they can handle
cargo at 81. so per ton cheaper than it
can be done by white labor.
He has also filed newspaper clippings
from New South Wales, where they
are holding meetings to take action
upon the same question that he IS look
ing into. In Sydney Japanese buyer
recently purchased 10000 sides OF
leather, which were to be shipped to
Japan to be made into shoes, to be
later returned to compete with the
home product.
At Osaka, Japan, cotton mill
started few years ago with $50 spin
dies. Now there are mills enough
there to use $780, spindles.
Arms and Explosives, a weekly Lon
don paper, calls attention to the new
Japanese army rifle, and says that a
country which can turn out such a
splendid gun will soon be dangerous
competitor in the field Of cheap shot
guns and revolvers.
A man who signs himself American
Citizen calls attention to the sale of
safety matches in boxes at cents per
dozen and asks how the American la
borer can compete at those prices.
From figures collected Mr.. Fitzgerald
has also learned that the number of
japanese arriving in San Francisco ex-
ceeds the total number of immigrants
from all other parts of the world.
These facts are being suitably prepar-
ed, and Mr.. Fitzgerald thinks he will
present an array of facts that congress
cannot fail to heed.

po,;,,ca, Affairs in Salvador.

New York, August "a special
from Panama says:
Authentic advices from Salvador con-
tradict the exaggerated reports that are
circulated of the condition OF political
affairs there. They do not sustain the
announcement that is made of riots IN
the republic, nor of adverse criticism OF
the president. A syndicate OF London
has offered guarantee of $5,O0O,OOO
TO Salvador's agent to carry out prac-
tically all the railways building and
projected in the republic.

Excessive Grief Caused His Death.

Oakland, Cal, August 9.-Grief
over the death of his daughter, Miss
Mary A. Doris, caused the death Of
James Doris, blacksmith OF San Lee
andre. Miss Doris died at Cloverdale
last Saturday, after lingering illness.
Constant anxiety over his daughters
condition had preyed upon Doris
health until his friends were afraid to
inform him of his daughters death.
The news was broken to him gently,
however, and the body brought home
for burial. Doris insisted upon being
carried down stairs to view the re-
mains, and in few minutes afterward
expired. The doctors say his death
was the result of excessive grief and
the attendant nervous excitement.

burned it. They shot half dozen
sheep and rode off, after telling the
herder they would wipe out the entire

will stand their ground. Bloodshed is
likely to follow, as the ranchers claim
the range is in dispute.

ATTEMPTED VIOLENCE.
The First Effort to Do Durrant Bodily
Harm Made Today.

San Francisco, August THE first
attempt to do violence to Theodore
Durrant, on trial for the murder of
Blanche Lamont, since his incarcera-
ton was made today as the defendant
was leaving the courtroom. The pris.
oner was in the custody of the chief
jailer, when a Withholding young man
rushed from the crowd towards Dur
rant, with the evident intention of as
saulting him. The jailer threw him
OF before he could reach Durrant, and
the assailant then tried to draw his
pistol. He was seized by two deputy
sheriffs before he could aim his weapon.
1t is believed that the assailant was in
sane. A seventh juror to try Durrant
was secured in the morning session of
the court in the person of H. J. Smyth,
a retired farmer
A serious complication of some kind
has arisen in the Durrant case. The
exact nature of the trouble is not
known, but it is believed that the law
yers of both sides are dissatisfied with
one of the jurors accepted and wish to
have him excused. Within the last
day or two information is said to have
been obtained with regard to one of
the jurors which would have prevented
him from serving if it had been known
before he was accepted. The attorneys
for both sides held a cnsultation over
the matter tonight, but at its close re-
fused to discuss the subject.
Judge Murphy expects to get through
with the Durrant trial in less than
month. The court ANNOUNCED that the
author and actors in the play 1.-THE
Crime of a Century," would not be
punished for contempt of court in pro-
ducing it, as he considered the man
ager of the theater alone to blame in
producing the play despite judicial in
reference.

Man and iieIics Gone.

Chicago, August 9.-James II. Love,
of San Francisco, owner of one-eighth
in the Forty.nine mining camp, has
disappeared, and, by coincidence, lot
of property and relics exceeding $780,
600 in value are missing. Among the
articles are the priced James w. Mar
shall relics, which include bedstead,
washstand, rocking chair, saddle,
clothing and weapons now held in
trust by the circuit court. An effort
to locate Love will be made in the be-
lief that with him will be found the
articles. On August 3, L. j. White was
appointed receiver of the Forty -nine
mining camp by Judge Horton. Witte
at once employed experts to audit the
accounts. Some things were found,
said Witte, that strengthened the opin-
ion that money had been carelessly
handled. An inquiry at Loves board
ing house elected the information that
he had gone to Atlanta. Along with
the relics have gone as well all the
Mexican music which had been col
lected by the stock company at much
trouble and expense.

Northern Pacific Loss Exaggerated.
st. Paul, August IA reporter
who went to the Office of the Northern
Pacific receivers tonight, seeking in
formation in regard to the great fire at
Sprague, Wash, found Receiver Cakes
hard at work with a large staff of
clerks deep in examination of pay rolls
and vouchers. In the absence Of Gen.
eral Manager Kendrick Mr.. Cakes had
taken upon himself the duties of that
Office, and is working day and night ON
the measures of economy introduced in
meeting the competition Of the Great
Northern Company.
The amount of the loss by the fire
has been exaggerated, so far as the
property of the road is affected. Mr..
Cakes stated that it was blessing i'll
disguise, for the property destroyed
was we'll insured, and eight of the en-
gines burned were of an old and use
less type, and have been for sale for
several years. The shops, if rebuilt,
will be of modern construction, afford
ing better results than heretofore pos
sible with the old plant.
