NEW-JERSEYS POPULATION.

From The Jersey city Journal
Tho National census Of 1900 Will probably show u
population in this State In excess OF 900. and
this Will raise tho number OF Inhabitants for each
member Of Assembly 10 $1,000. The number OF As

Is entitled to have one Asscnblyman without re-
gard 70 population -
There are now seven counties which have bHe
one member. These Atlantic, Cape May,
Gloucester Ocean. Salem. Somerset and Sussex
There six counties with two members each
Bergen Burlington. Cumberland. Huntcrdon. Nor
rs and Warren There are FIVE counties with three
members each-Cemden Mercer. Mlddlesex Mon
mouth and Union-and one county. Passac. has
four members.
In comparing tho growth OF the counties during
the last twenty years II seemR probable that oil OF
them except Hunterdon and Warren Will show In
croase OF population sufficient 10 retain their pres

growth enough to .n'ite each OF them to an addl-
iOnal member. ana they Will gain at the expense
Of Ilunierdon and Warren. which will pass into
the single member class.
This gain will give the two large counties a COM
bined vote OF twenty -four, or within seven Of ma

EXTRA SESSION EXPECTED.
Mr.. Mcndell Believes that Congress
Will Meet Soon After March 4.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Representa-
tive-elect F. w. Mondell of Wyoming.
assistant commissioner of the general
land office, has returned from Wyo-
ming.
When he entered his Office he found
on his desk a mammoth basket of
flowers, presented by his friends in the
Office. He was busy all day receiving
congratulations. He said he favored
ar early session of the Fifty-sixth con-
gress.
The people expect it, he said, land
in my opinion. the next congress will
meet 500 after March 4. The Il
try is anxious for needed currency leg
islation. Until such legislation is had,
other measures of Importance to the
West must wait.
And again by disposing of the cur
rency question at the coming extra SEES
sion we will have time enough, to see
the effect before the congressional cleo
tons roll around again. And any
change or amendment necessary to per-
feet the law can be made at the regu-
lar session, one year from now"
Mr.. Mondell will resign March 4 as
assistant commissioner and Immediate
tative in congress. His successor as
assistant commissioners of the land Of
flee will be a Western man.
Il hope" said Representative-elect
Mondell of Wyoming, there will be an
extra session Of congress-. and that
there will be immediate monetary leg
islation. l know the republicans of the
West do not want to be thrown into
another campaign. particularly a cam
paign for the election of president, it
which it can be said that a republican
congress has taken no action for as
surfing sound money. We stood square
ly on the st. Louis platform in Wyo-
ming. and the people want a reform in
currency"
Mr.. Mondell's statements indicate
that Senator Clarence D. Clark of
Evanston. Wyo., has a big fight IN his
hands for reelection. There are no
avowed candidates against him yet
said he. but several gentlemen are
known to be ambitious to succeed him.
One of them is former State Treas
urer Otto Gramm, proprietor of a roll
ing mall at Laramie. John C. Davis,
a business man of Rawlins who has
never held public Office except mayor,
who enjoys wide spread personal popu-
larity. would like to come to the sem
ate.
Colonel J. l.. Torrey of the Rough
Riders. author Of the Torrey bank
ruptc law, has been a resident of Wyo-
ming for several years. and was speak
err of the state house of representatives
two terms ago. He is also a candidate,
as are ex-senator J. M. Carey and Gov
ernor Richards.

NEAR THE EQUATOR
CAPT POTHWELL AND MIR. TOM
KIN WILL EXAMINE MINES IN
SOUTH AMERICA.
a Marvellous Low Grade Gold Propo-
SitiOn Bearing About $40 20 the
Ton-Condition of Labor Market
Very Advantageous TO the Ameri-
can Capitalists.

Captain H. G. Rothwell and Mr..
W. c. TCmkin. mining engineers
of national reputation will leave
the United States in about three
weeks for the town of Veraqua. State
Of Panama, District of Columbia. South
America. They go in the interests of
the Breitung syndicate for the purpose
of making ar examination of an extern
sive mining property belonging to the
Duke of Veragua. The duke is a Span
lard and the crude methods of his race
have failed to work his mines at a
profit, hence the desire on the part of
the grandee to dispose of them to an
American syndicate.
The mine which Messrs. Rockwell
and Tomkin will examine is said TO be
a vein forty feet il width and seven
miles long, carrying an ounce of gold
to the ton. The free gold ore has been
worked and there Is said to be a mil
lion tons of sulphides on the dump.
The American method would be to
treat this ore by either the cyanide or
the c~hlorination process. If the state
ments made by the duke are true, it
will be an immensely profitable propo-
sitiOn.
skilled mining labor can be procured
in the District of Columbia for two
pesos per day. The peso is of the same
value as the Mexican dollar and can
therefore be purchased for about As
cents of American money. This would
make the price of labor for working in
the mines 80 centsof American money
per day. or about one-third the price
of the same kind of labor in the United
States. This fact is considered by Mr..
Breitung as a very favorable condition
and it is believed that it will aid ma
terially in the successful working of the
property.
The difference in the value Of the
currency of the two countries,
amounting to a little more than 100
per cent, is the profit which capital is
enabled to make Upon labor through
the debased medium of exchange.
Captain Rothwell and Mr.. Tompkin
expect to be absent about 60 days. The
captain will return to Laramie before
March ], 1899. and will then renew the
bany placers in the Douglas creek dis
trict.

WORD FROM MANILA.


In Lieutenant llarol y. Coburn's

from a letter written by Lieutenant
Coburn to his parents:

but today is pleasant and there is no
indication of mere rain. | was asked to

Il went to see the native sport Sun

was a great fight. The natives have a
large pit and fight their chickens all
day Sunday and lose and win plenty of
money. They gaff the left foot with a
steel knife about two inches long and
one-eighth of an inch wide and fight
them till they die. Their chickens are
of a rather poor quality" Appending
