1T IS ASTONISHING.
Growth of Nations Which Are Under
the Rule of Aliens.

An item appearing in an English paper re-
Gently, says the New York Sun, gives the re-
suits of the June census of the population Of
Egypt showing it to be 100000, an increase
of 1900, 600 since 1882; in other words, gain
of AZ per cent in fifteen years, the greater
part of which has been made since the Brit
ish occupation of the country. In French
newspaper attention is called to the fact that
while the population OF France has not been
increasing, the increase of the French Cana
dian population in North America has been
prodigious-from 10000 in 1865 to 1880 900
in 1891, and more than 100000 at present.
The deduction to be drawn from these fig
ures and from other like figures is that the
political independence of a people is by no
means a pledge of increase in population: on
the contrary, the growth in numbers of de-
pendent peoples under an alien and sometimes
antagonistic government is often greater than
1t otherwise would be. The increase of the
population of India, abruptly stopped this
year by the plague, is, perhaps, fair IL
lustration of this. At the close of the Civil
war in the United States an official enumera-
ton of the population of British India made
by the British government in 1861 put the
population of that country at IA, 600 900 exclu-
sive of AZ 000,0 900 inhabitants in districts under
British jurisdiction, but not under direct Brit
ish control. This was thirty years ago. and
the population of India at that time was 191-
900 in all. By the last imperial census
made by British authority the population of
India was PSI 900 600,

this season. said Executive Agent
Fullerton, of the state game and fish
commission, yesterday afternoon
Heretofore we have sold it to dealers
in game here in order that local
epicures might have the taste of the
game contraband though it be, rather
than let it be sold as a dainty on the
restaurant and hotel tables of Chi
cago and st. Louis. Now, however,
the system has shown it's weakness as
an instrument to our own undoing in

and during the coming season all sales
of Illegally captured game will be made
with the condition that the game be
shipped out of the state at once"
Judge Twohy yesterday listened to
the case against r. E. Cobb, the COM
mission dealer who was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by Game Warden
Fullerton. The warrant charged Cobb
with having on Aug. 9 exposed for sale
twenty-four prairie chickens, the par
ticular bird being out of season under
the game and fish law at the time
The defense set up by Cobb was that
the birds had been purchased at a
sale made by the game wardens agents
about year ago, the chickens having
at that time been part of a lot con-
fiscated under the law. The evidence
went to show that the chickens had
been in cold storage since that time
until the date mentioned in the war
rant. Assistant County Attorney Zoll-
man claimed that under the law the
fact that the chickens were in the pos
session of the defendant was priua
facie evidence that the law had been
violated and that she should be adj
judged guilty. Judge Twohy, how

missed the case and discharged Cobb

Of great modification to the Grand
Army leaders, and excited Indignation
among the members of the local COM
mittee. To the president, at first, it
was a trifie annoying, but few mill
utes after the episode he was having
hearty laugh over it, and, excusing
the official who refused him entry by
saying that the man was perfectly
right to obey orders, no matter who
demanded admittance. The reason for
the refusal was that the sentry had
been ordered to admit no carriage to
the camp.
Later, the president visited Cayuga
island, the site of the Pan-American
exposition, and, with a mallet on which
his name was inscribed, drove a stake
in grass plot in the center of the
island. Returning from the island, the
president lunched with Frank Baird

WESTERN ROADS PUZZLED
By n Cut in Export Grain Rates to
New Orleans.

By n Cut in Export Grain Rates to
New Orleans.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-An unexpected
and puzzling move on the part of the
Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis
threw the Western roads into a state
of excitement today. This road gave
notice that, effective today, it would
reduce grain rates from Kansas City
to New Orleans from q cents to Is
cents, the reduction to continue in force
till Sept. g. The rate will apply on
export grain only. The action of this
line is incomprehensible to the other
roads, as they all have more grain than
they can move at present charges. I'm
der ordinary circumstances the cut
would be met from Chicago and St.
Louis. AS things now are and as the
rate is only in for a limited period,
the probabilities are that it will be
ignored In contrast to the action of
the Memphis line, the Illinois Central
announces that, beginning Sept. 6, it
will advance it's rate on export corn
from 10 to Is cents, between Chicago
and New Orleans
Sept the Milwaukee & st. Paul, in
connection with the Rock Island, will
establish a through first-class sleeping
car line between Chicago and Denver.
This will give the st. Paul an outlet
into the trans Missouri country. Such
service was established once before
but was failure.
The old and threadbare story of a
consolidation between the Great North
ern, the Chicago Great Western, the
Northern Pacific and the Wisconsin
Central is again in circulation. Local
officials place little credence in the re-
newed rumors for the reason that such
a combine would be entirely unneces-
sary, as the roads mentioned are and
always have been as closely connected,
in traffic way, as they could be were
they owned by the same interests.

UNION DEPOT PLANS
Discussed by Representatives o
the Interested Lines.

Discussed by Representatives of
the Interested Lines.
The plans for remodeling the union
depot were discussed yesterday at a
meeting in the directors room at the
depot. The engineers of the various
roads having stock in the union depot
had the matter under consideration,
as a committee appointed to invest1-
gate.
Engineer Stevens, of the Great
Northern road, submitted plan,
which, generally, was considered fea-
sible, though there were objections to
some details.
The plan provides for tearing down
the baggage rooms at the north side
of the depot shed, making room for
two more tracks. 1t converts the north
side of the main building into a bag
gage department, and arranges for the
construction of an addition at the
front part of the present building, fac
ing Sibley street.
A revision of these plans was
deemed advisable, and this work was
committed to a subcommittee-C. r.
Loweth engineer of the Union Depot
company, and Messrs. Johnson, of the
Omaha; Miller, of the st. Paul & Du-
luth; Stevens, of the Great Northern,
and Bates, of the Milwaukee. This
committee is expected to prepare a re-
port within a few days, which will be
submitted to- the board of directors.

$104, 401, and in the relief fund, $54, 967.
