Figures published in Le Journal Off, cieI of France show that the changes of population of the country are as err ratio as the French people themselves. The statement that the births for the year ending March, 1896, exceeded the deaths by 93,7O0 has called forth great erthusiasm. In 1891, there were grave fears expressed as to the future of the French race, when the deaths exceeded the births by 1o,5o5, and the following year the fears were doubled when this figure mounted to 2o,041. Since that year, however, there has been a rapid increase in the number of births.

How the bicycle seems to be driving the horse into disuse for pleasure pur- poses is strikingly illustrated by the statistics of visitors to Paramount Park in Philadelphia. According to these figures the number of vehicles and equestrians entering the park last year was 6o,000 less than it was in 1896, while the number of bicycles was 36O,- pS6 greater than it was the year before.

Consular reports for January say that the Panama canal is practically finish ed from Colon to Bujeo, fourteen miles. The total length is to be fifty-four miles. Over one-third of the work is done and the remaining two-thirds can be done for $150.00O,000. A new company has been at work since 1894 with 5000 labor CTS. This month there is to be an in- spection of the whole situation, and if the report be favorable an effort will be made to float a loan to complete the canal. With the requisite capital the work will be pushed faster and be com pleted in from seven to ten years. It is intimated that if the coming inspection and report are unfavorable the work will be definitely dropped, but this seems improbable.

REWARDS FOR HEROES.
President Mckinley Sent Various Rec

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The presi.
dent yesterday sent to congress messages
praising Lieutenant Hobson and his
crew, who sunk the Merrimac in San.
tiago harbor, and asking that Hobson
be transferred from the staff to the
line, so he could be promoted. He also
recommended that Cadet Powell, who
in q steam launch followed the Merri-
mac, be made an ensign; also that the
officers and crew of the Hudson, who
rescued the Winslow at Cardenas, be
given medals and the thanks of con.
gress; also that Captain Hodgsdon, who
commanded the Hugh McCulloch in
Manila bay, be placed upon the perma.

stated that he will not, as was a

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The admin
istration finally came to decision
yesterday to send an American squad
ron to the Spanish coast and into the
Mediterranean. Several times since the
war broke out rumors to this effect have
circulated, but the project had not ma
tured. 1t required the Spanish move
ment toward the Philippines by CANA
ra's squadron to decide the navy
department to adopt this bold stroke.
The following vessels have been Sc
lected to go under command of Commo-
dore j. Q. Watson: Flagship Newark,
battleships Iowa and Oregon, cruisers
Yosemite, Yankee and Dixie, and the
colliers Scendia, Abarenda and Alexan-
der.
Official orders were given to provision
the fleet for four months; it became
apparent to the last doubter that the
government was in earnest in this pur.
pose to dispatch the feet to Europe. The
three vessels selected as colliers have
started already on their way to Newport
News to take on a large supply of coal.
1t will require about week to get this
down to SIMPSONS fleet, so if the start
is to be made from that point it will be
impossible for Commodore Watson to
get away before July A.
The determination to send this SQUAD
ron against Spain was the outcome of
direct official advices reaching the state
and navy departments as to the prog
ress OF Admiral Camaras squadron.

caused by congestion Of the brain. He
was apparently in good health up to last
Sunday. On that day, while visiting at
the residence of Miss Clara Bour in

feeling i'll. He grew worse and Mr.
Edward Bour accompanied him home.
Monday he ed better but showed
symptoms Uf serious Illness. Physicians
were in attendance. No immediate
danger was anticipated but 1t was re-
commended that the young man be
taken to Aultman hospital, where skilled
nurses could care for him. Preparations
were being made Tuesday morning and
Joe expressed. himself we'll pleased to go
to the. hospital, where he suddenly be-
came very much worse. In spite of all
efforts to rally his strength he succumbed
to the summons Of death and passed
peacefully away.
Joe Dannemiller was q young man
whose life was particularly filled with
lights and shadows for one SO young.
He was jolly, great big hearted boy,
sensitive, kind and generous to a fault.

able talent for histronics and his early
studies had a trend toward the stage,
which he finally reached. During his
travels over the country he received

this city. He was member Of that or
ganizhtiOn and also of st. Peters
Catholic church. He was enthusiastic in
his talents to charity and

VETS WON
But Liquor Cannot Be Sold In Canton
Township tor Period Of
Thirty Days.

The "wets" won the day in the election
on local option in Canton township
Tuesday, as was predicted yesterday.
The vote was as follows:
Canton precinct--For the sale, 222;
against the sale, ia; majority in favor
the sale, l0s.
North Industry precinct--For the sale,
as, against the sale, So; majority against
the sale, 10. Total mum ber Of votes
cast for the sale, 270; total number
against, III; majority in favor 99.
The "wets" were active while the
"drys" seemed to be Indifferent as to the
result. The law makes thirty days the
time when 1t shall take effect, so that be-
ginning on July 30 liquors may be obtain
cd in Canton township.
Meyers lake will probably reap o
benefit from the results of yesterday. 1t
will be headquarters for Reymann's beer,
the property being owned by the Reymann
Brewing Co. of Wheeling. It is also posi-
ble the company moy feel justified in
making improvements that were some
time ago contemplated. 1t is said by a
gentleman In position to know that the
local option law has to some extent in
terfered with the success of Meyers
Lake as paying resort in the two years
past. Many managers seeking places
at which excursions could be accom-
modated have rejected Meyers Lake
owing to the fact of its being "dry".
Said the gentleman. 1.-THE privilege
of selling beer at Meyers Lake will
bring at an estimate $4,000 worth of
trade to Canton every summer
