other cities in the United States in point
of population was recorded Tuesday at
the final period for the registration of

a total population of 1,7J0, 600. and up to

dead in a rear room of the headquarters
of the Cook County Democracy, 16 La
Sale street, Chicago. Tuesday. All of
the doors leading to the room were tightly
closed and the Illuminating gas was pour

from the circumstances. Upon the little
round table was n deck of cards. left in
rromiscuous piles as if Swallow had ell
gagged in a game of solitaire while await
ing the deadly effect of the gas fumes.
From the position of the body upon the
floor it appeared as if he had fallen out
of his chair. The man must have felt
the death stupor coming over him. He
had carefully placed a hatf-smoked cigar
upon an ashreceiver c.csr by the cards.

Grst men arrested with Lisyg, Spies, and |
Schwab. May 5. 1856. after the great |
riot. For ten hours the police kept him |

The San Francisco Chamber of Com |
nerce has decided TO interest itself in OBJ |
tanning some protective sction from Con- |
gress relating 10 the american shipping |
Secretary Merry will forward |
4 memorial to Washington presenting the |
absolute necessity of scme action in be- |
nalf of the ocean mail steamship service |
under the national ensign. The memor- |
al sets forth that Japan is entering the |
field with modern steamships to be oper
lted under subsidy law so liberal that |
1 5,000-ton vessel with fifteen knots speed |
will be paid S31, 800 for voyage from
Yokohama TO San Francisco and return.
It also calls attention to the fact that |
Great Britain has heavily subsidized |
ine between Vancouver and Japan and
china and that another is about TO be
established between Vancouver and Aus
ralia via New Zealand and the Fiji Isl |;
ands, also calling at Honolulu. England |
pays annually to mail steamship lines and |
cruisers S5,053. 40, and France
bays 50. 100000, and with such induce
nents it is no use for American steam
FRS to compete with them. The memorial
declares that the contest for maritime
control of the Pacific is at hand and asks
Congress TO enact such benefcent meas /
Tres as will permit American mail being |
farried by American ships.
