NEW ENGLAND is GAINING
East May Now Increase In Population
Faster Than the West.

Faster Than the West.
From the Philadelphia Press.
New England is likely to show a
larger increase in population during
the present decade than it has during
recent decades. The total population
of the New England states in 1890 was
400, 745, an increase of 500, PIG over the
census of 1880. But adjudging 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 an
proximating the increase in Maine.
New Hampshire and Vermont, the in
crease in the population of New Eng
land during the past seven years has
been at the average rate of about so 600
a year. With the same average main
tanned during the next few years the
total increase in population during the
present decade in New England should
be about 100000. giving that neighbour
hood population of $500, 600 in 1900
The obvious conclusion from these
figures is that when the census of 1900
comes to be taken it will be found that
the Eastern states have grown more
rapidly in population since 1890 than
the Western states. This conclusion is
fortified by the census taken in some
of the Western states in 1895 Iowa
barely maintained the rate of growth
it had made between 1850 and 1890 The
same is true of Minnesota, while the
population of Kansas decreased 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. 1t is
evident that with the increasing scare
ity of arabic land in the West the adj
xaDtapeS of the Fast are heinz ra9ar-
nized better. The more rapid increase
of manufacturing in the East is also a
factor In the growth of population. In
short, the census of 1900 will doubtless
show that the East is no longer build
ing up the West, that a smaller num-
Der of people are emigrating from the
former to the latter section and that
the increase in population throughout
the union Is equalizing itself.

EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY.
Congress VIII BE Called Together A

Soon An Spain Accepts Peace.
Washington, August 3.-The Post
says:
President Mckinley will call an
extra session of both houses of con-
gress as soon as Spain accepts the
terms Of peace offered by the United
States.
"It has always been understood
that the senate would be convened as
soon as the treaty of peace was ready
to be acted upon by that body. The
attention of the president has been
called, however, to a situation which
makes the assembling OF the entire
congress necessary. This situation
can be explained in a few words.
"Under the law which provides for
the raising of the volunteer army,
that army goes out of existence as
soon as the war ceases.
when this law was framed, il was
not for moment supposed that,
after the war had ended, there would
be any necessity of keeping the army
intact. The developments of the war
make it very evident that, instead Of
sending the army back to civil life,
fully 100000 men will continue to be
needed. 1t is the present intention
to distribute no less than $4,000 SOL
diers throughout Cuba, with $4,000 in
the Philippines and probably 10000
in Porto Rico.
Under the law, as soon as HOSTILE
ties cease, the volunteer army is dis
banded, and the regular army goes
back to its peace footing, thus leav-
ing only $1,000 men in the service.
This is a total far too small for the
work that will be required. Conse-
quently, the aid of congress will be
needed to frame new laws which will
keep an adequate army for garrison
purposes.
'In addition to this, laws must be
passed to meet the new requirements
Of government in the Philippines and
Porto Rico.
'The president is naturally averse
to calling congress together during
the hot weather, and it may be de-
cided that the war is not ended until
the senate has ratified the treaty of
peace. In this case, congress will not
meet until the first or middle of Sep
tember, as it will take at least q
month or six weeks for the full de-
tails of the treaty to be discussed and
framed. The present outlook Is, how
ever, for an extra session at a much
earlier period, in the hope that its
work can be concluded before the fall
campaign has reached its height"
