NEW ENGLAND IS oArNrNo.
East May Now Increase In Population
Faster Than the West.
lETr IN The Philad slphla Press.


Ersn The Philad sIphia Press.
New England is likely TO show q
larger increase in population during
the present decade than Il has during
recent decades. The total population
OF the New England states in 1890 was
4.7OO.745. an increase OF go. PIG over
the census OF 1850. But Judging from
the known increase in Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island between 1890 and
1895 and the estimated increase in
Connecticut up to the close OF last
year. and approximating the increase
In Maine. New Hampshire and Yer
mont. the increase in the population OF
New England during the past seven
years has been at the average rate Of
about $4,000 a year. With the same
average maintained during the next
few years. the total increase In popu-
lation during the present decade In
New England should be about 500. 900,
giving that neighborhood 4 population
OF 3 800. 900 in 1900. The obvious con-
clusion from these figures is that when
the census OF 1900 comes TO be taken
IL will be found that the Eastern states
have grown more rapidly in population
since 1890 than the Western
states This conclusion Is for
titled by the census taken in
some OF the Western states in 1895.
Iowa barely maintained the rate o,
growth Il had made between 1850 and
1890. The same is true OF Minnesota
while the population OF Kansas de-
creased. The large increase shown in
New Jersey between 1890 and 1895 Is
another proof that the Eastern states
are growing more rapidly than the
Western. II is evident that with the
increasing scarcity OF arabic land In
/ the West the advantages OF the East
are being recognized better. The more
rapid increase OF manufacturing in the
East is also a factor in the growth oi
population. In short. the census OF
| 1900 will doubtless show that the East
Is no longer building up the West. that
a smaller number OF people are emf
/ grating from the former to the latter
section, and that the increase in pop
ulation throughout the union is equal
izIng itself.

How the Men Are Trained to Behave In Battle

1t is the practice of the navy to have
certain number of ships gather once
year. at some suitable place for ma
neuvering purposes. The main object
Of this gathering is to furnish as many
line officers as possible with the expe7-
ience of handling ships in tactical
movements in order that they may

Probably the child-wife of Cassius NJ.
Clay is greatly shocked at the determ-

She is perverse and tickle and has dis
graced him in many ways; but that he
should want to get rid of her is an
affront to her self-pride and her un-
conscious ignorance. Perhaps, howev-
er, the old man thinks that his threat
of divorce is the only means to get her

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Go.
 Birmingham. Feb. 21.-The unsettled condition of political affairs both at home and abroad were the leading features in today's stock market. Early foreign ca bles showed a decline. of nearly 1 point for American securities, with sellers in the ma iority Our market opened panioky, the first sales being made in many stocks at from 1 to dollars under Saturdays close. The bears held full sway throughout the entire session. The local street railway securities suffered the greatest loss and were followed by the Industrials. Man haitian declined 4per cent. from the open ing, but recovered part of the loss near the close. The western roads came in for a share of the break under the pressure of heavy realizing. The most damaging in- fluence in this market today was a report from Havana to the effect that the divers who have been inspecting the hull of the ill-fated battleship Maine had found all her magazines intack. This was fresh food for thought for those who attribute the disaster to Spanish treachery and the final declaration of war could not have caused more uneasiness in financial circles. The ultimate results of this disaster cannot be forecasted at present, but any slight ru- mors will have their effect on prices
