GREAT FINANCIAL PANIC.

Aver.cd by tn, Government Buying
Bonds Says Russell Sage.
New York. Russell Sage is quoted
as saying to newspaper interviewer,
who asked him what he thought of the
United States treasury offer to buy
s25, 900, 600 of bonds:
II believe Secretary Cages action
has saved the financial world from a
disastrous panic
"No one who has been in touch with
business enterprises during the past
few months can fail to have realized
the stringency Of the money market.
Ready money appeared to be extraor
dinarily scarce and those who had it
held 1t or demanded the highest class
securities before they let it go.
II know OF banks In different parts
of the country which had the hardest
kind of time in realizing money.
And yet they hold securities that ordi-
narily would have been negotia BILE any
where.
"The sharps took advantages Of the
situation. They were making q rich
harvest of it, but the government has
stopped their game"

movement to the north of Manila.
General Macarthur and Lawton will
proceed to the north in the hope of
trapping Aguinaldo and his forces be-
tween the three columns.
General Schwan's movement to the
southwark of Manila is merely in the
nature of demonstration, and for the
purpose of scattering insurgents who
have intrenched themselves in Cavite
province, the home of Aguinaldo and
the nest of the rebellion.

can be better estimated when it is real

COLORED LAND HOLDERS.
Coming Census Will Show Large In.
crease Especially in the South.

crease Especially in the South.
The report sent forth by the state
officials of Virginia that their records
of assessment and taxation show a
large increase in ownership OF land
amongst the colored people, presents
gratifying conditions which the census
officials know to be common to all the
Southern states.
The Virginia report mentions that
the records do not show the full, and
perhaps not half of the increase in
land ownership amongst the colored
people for the reason that great num-
bers of them, having meager capital,
are compelled to buy farms on land
contracts. These contracts call for
deeds when the payment of purchase
money, which is made in installments,
shall have been completed. While
the installments are pending, the title
is held in the vendor as part of his
security for the deferred payments.
Thus the real possession is not repre-
sented in the records, though the case
is practically like that of property
which is mortgaged.
Chief Statistician Powers, of the di-
vision of agriculture in the census,
who has made thorough study of the
question of tenure, has prepared
schedule for the twelfth census which
is intended to cover the cases men,
toned. The enumerator will be i'm
structed to report as owners all home
steaders who have not "proved up" or
whose final proofs have not been re-
corded-in fact all actual occupants of
public lands-and persons who have
bought land on contracts for deeds; and
those who have been foreclosed but are
holding over for redemption.
If the enumerators shall carry out
these instructions, the twelfth census
will present fuller exhibit of small
ownership and of land ownership
amongst the colored people than has
hitherto been available.
Tenure is to be taken in the Genus
in manner to show not simply the
number of persons who own farms,
work farms on shares, or lease farms
for cash or other fixed rental, but to
show all the conditions of ownership
and tenure according to race and color.
In the case of land bought on con
tract, the element of duplication wi
have to be guarded against, as some
vendors, still retaining title to land
which they have sold but which is not
wholly paid for, may report it as still
their own.
The intention of the census office is,
however, to give such instructions to
enumerators previous to beginning field
work, that the elements of omission or
duplication shall be brought to mini
mum.
Statistics of ownership and tenure,
derived as they frequently have been
heretofore, from the county land rec
ords, do not convey accurate impress
slons. Thousands of deeds of sale and
transfer, land contracts, partition
deeds, sequestrian papers, final home
stead proofs, ETC., are held in the homes
OF the people unrecorded. The census
officials expect, in the schedules now
adopted, to avoid practically all of the
deficiencies which these conditions pre-.
sent in the land records, and to be able,
at the opening of the twentieth century,
to make comparatively perfect ex-
hlblt OF land tenure by counties and
color in all the states.
