Population of British India.

The population Of British India-that
is, OF the territories under direct Brit
lsh government-was 198,860,606 in
1881, and had increased to 221, ,172.952
when the last census was taken in 1891
The population OF the states which are
governed by native rulers under the
eye of the British representatives in
creased in those ten years from 54,-
932,90S to 66O50,479. The figures for
1891 show that Of the total population
146,727,296 were males, and only 140,-
1876, ,l35 were females. British India
covers 964,993 square miles and the ma
tive states 595, ,167; but in the former
the average number of persons living
on every square mile is 229 and in the
native states it is only Ill. The high
est average is All per square mile in
Bengal, and the next is 436 in the north
west provinces and Dude; whilst the
lowest average in British India is 35
in Upper Burmah-the native state of
Cashmere falling still lower, to 81 per
square mile. England had in the same
year $40 people to the square mile, and
Scotland 1874. The next census, in 1901
Will doubtless show that India's popula-
ton continues to rapidly increase. The
great famine of 1897 has not been al
lowed to have the fatal results of pre-
vious times of scarcity; and the plague,
though terribly fatal where it ragged,
was kept within comparatively small

In 1887, the concession now held by
the Maritime Canal company, of Mic
aragua, was granted to the Nicaragua
Canal association, and the work of
final survey was commenced by the as
sociatior without delay. Early in 1888.
a movement was made to secure a
charter from the United States govern
ment. Bills were introduced in the
senate and house for the purpose, That
before the senate passed, without de-
lay, and, being identical in form, was
permitted to take the place of the
house bill. 1t finally passed the house,
Feb. Z, 1889, and became a law Feb. 90,
1889. On May the Maritime Canal
company was formally organized. In
the meantime the association had also
caused to be incorporated a construc-
tion company, under whose direction
the surveys and the work, which had
been commenced, were carried on. Since
that time the work of construction
progressed slowly, until its suspension
in 1893 for lack of funds.
