1t is not possible to foretell what the
twelfth census will disclose. The ac-
tual results always confound the
prophet He often finds that he has
underestimate There is no fixed law
of growth.
In estimating the population as Of
June, 1900, when the census will be
taken, we have figures brought almost
up to date From the governors or
other high official sources in each of
the States and Territories the New
York World secured at the close of 1893
an estimate of the population of each
upon Jan. 1, 1899. AS only year and
half will elapse before the taking of
the census it Is not unrea sonable to as
sumo that the rate of growth shown
since 1890 will continue during this
brief remaining period.
On Jan. l last our population, accord
ing to these estimates, was 1883, 1863.
This includes Alaska and Indian Terri
tory, but not Hawaii, Porto Rico or the
Philippines. Making the proportionate
increase, we get S0,256,0S2 as the grand
total for the United States proper in
June, 1900.
The population of Hawaii is estimat-
ed at 100000 based on census in 1897;
that Of Porto Rico at 100000, and that
Of the Philippines at S,000.000 both of
thelatter estimates being largely guess
work. Add these and we have the ''im-
perial' total of S9,266,0S2.
