Russia's Opportunity in Persia.

The British Indian press is giving much
attention TO the concentration of Russian
troops in Central Asia. According to tho
most authentic reports there are now in
Turkestan about $4,000 men, numbering
in infantry alone 1000 efficient soldiers
ready to take the field.
There is much speculation as to the pur-
pose OF the large increase OF the Russian
army in that part of Asia during the past
summer. The general opinion seems to be
that it is intended to support demands
about to be made on the Persian Govern
ment. At the same time the garrisons ON
the Afghan and Indian frontiers have been
strengthened.
A clue to the object Of this Russian move
may be found in the discussion that has
been carrisd on actively OF late in the st.
Petersburg and Moscow papers. These
journals unanimously agree that the time
has come for Russia to have direct railway
communication across Persia to the Gulf,
and that Persia must be called upon to make
the concession without further delay One
step has already been taken in obtaining
the renewal Of the concession for Russian
line from Resht on the Persian coast OF the
Caspian to Teheran, but the Russian press
insists that this line is of itself Of little
value for strategic purposes, and urges the
prosecution OF the greater enterprise, in
Guiding strongly fortified harbor at it's
maritime extremity.
That Russia should one day seek an outlet
to the ocean for her southern Asiatic possess
sions was as inevitable as it is legitimate.
1t was not to be expected that great and
powerful State should forever consent to be
merely a hinterland, dependent for access
to the common highway of the world on the
good will OF other countries, and least of all
when those other countries were weak and
decaying States.
The present pre-occupation OF England
in South Africa affords Russia an opportu-
nifty to assert her predominance in Persia,
and to support it by force OF arms, If neces-
sary, without fear OF serious opposition.
Should England become seriously involved
with the Beers OF the Transvaal, it is not
wholly impossible that there may be events
of corresponding interest on the shores Of
the Indian Ocean.

The Census of Age.

Next years census of the population,
industries and resources of the United
States will be less elaborate and less dis
cursive than any Of the recently preceding
enumerations, but it will be more compact
and more comprehensive, and, by reason of
the fewer subjects covered, will appear
more promptly, and will, therefore, be more
useful and trustworthy.
Director MERRIAM has been preparing a
list of the inquiries to be propounded One
change in the form of questions asked, it is
now reported, is the requirement that the
enumerators shall not inquire as to the age
Of any person, but as to his, or her. age
at the time of the last birthday. The
reason assigned for this inscrutabe de-
parture from the custom Of previous years
is as completely devoid of humorous per-
ception as are most OF the suggestions of
routine statisticians. 1t is as follows:
ct has been found that in the past census there
was q disproportionately large number of persons
whose ages divisible by ten. For example
there ought to be about the number of persons
forty one thrty-ni years of age as there are
persons forty old Census takers have reported
= vastly greater number OF people forty years old
than persons thirty -nino or forty.one. There is
the same disproportion IN the Of people of
thirty and fifty years
This alleged propensity OF men and women
in the United States to add to their ages in
order to answer queries in numbers divs-
BILE by ten" has not been generally observed
outside of the Census Office. Everywhere it
has been believed that a young lady of
twenty-nine, for instance, would not stub
bornly insist on being recorded as thirty;
that young lady OF thirty-nine might be
induced to forego determination to have
forty substituted for thirty-nine; and even
men OF forty-nine have been known in some
isolated cases, when SO recorded to resist
the impulse to recall the enumerator to
have their ages changed to fifty on the
schedule blanks.
The fact is that those who suggest the
cumbersome inquiry How old were you at
your last birthday" in place of How old
are you now?" have no good argument for
such change. Past census reports have
shown that it Is not always practicable or
even possible for an enumerator to learn
the exact age OF the person to whom his
inquiries are propounded. Sometimes they
do not know. In other cases they refuse to
answer; it is private business" The
enumerator, to complete his poll, supplies
the supposed age OF the man or woman as
the case may be, by an answer of his own,
using by preference 'the numbers divisible
by ten" as most convenient
There seems to be no reason to suppose that
mere change in the form of the question
will make any difference in the matter. 1t
is likely, therefore, that Director MERRIAM,
even at the risk of distressing the ingenious
theorists who propose the change, will
conclude not to alter the age query which
has proved satisfactory in the past.

whelmingly in his own county, but also in
his own town and by tho votes Of his neigh
bors and personal friends; and this directly
and simply because of his declaration
against the Administrations Philippine
policy. Party usage required his return to
the State Senate. There was nothing
against him politically or personally but
his Aguinaldian record; yet he was turned
down by his constituents because he had
proclaimed himself to be an Aguinaldian,
and because his ideas Of the duty of Ameri-
can citizenship in time Of war are not in
harmony with theirs.
Mr.. PARSONS does not represent the Re-
publcans OF Franklin county or OF west
ern Massachusetts any more than Senator
HoAR represents the Bay State. 1t has
been said that PARSONS spoke for the farm
ers, and that the farmers were against
the Administration and the flag. Hear
what his friend the Neto England Farmer,
has to say about that:
Senator PARSONS OF Greenfield. man of great
ability and more than ordinary sckbone is refused

Farmer as a matter of personal friendship and
sidering the good he has done for agriculture.
regrets this the action OF the the 40
curacy of the statements made in these columns as
to the feeling of the farmers OF New England on the
Philippine question"
We presume that Mr.. PARSONS will pro-
coed to carry out the dire threat which he
uttered at the Ashtield dinner. Indeed,
there is already talk of his nomination by
the Democratic organization, the party Of
withdrawal and surrender,

A Dinner, a Speech and Sequel.

There is no doubt that mouth-treason in
1899 reached its high-water mark at GER
tain dinner at Ashtield, in Franklin county,
Massachusetts, about the middle Of
August last. We referred at the time
to the significance of the occasion. 1t
was almost contemporaneous with the
Presidents declaration at the Catholic
Summer School near Plattsburg that
wherever the flag is assailed, at any sac
rfce it will be carried to a triumphant
peace'-the first Of the remarkable series
OF speeches last summer in which Mr..
MCKINLEY so clearly defined the Admins
trations Philippine policy. and SO forcibly
and eloquently presented to his fellow
countrymen the issue Of loyalty against
disloyalty.
At the Ashtield dinner the Massachusetts
anti-imperialists were out in force. 1t was
their dress parade. ATKINSON was not
there, although his trail was across the table
cloth. AaUINALDo was absent, except in
heart. But Professor CHARLES ELIOT
NORTON was present, and he pre-
sided and spoke; MooRFIELD STOREY
was on hand with an elaborate speech;
while the third Of the leading Aguinaldian
orators was State Senator HERBERT c. PAR
SONS of Greenfield, the principal disciple Of
Senator HoAR west OF the Connecticut.
Professor NORTON introduced him approx
ingly as &c fellow who amt a-feared."
Certainly this Massachusetts statesman,
previously honored and trusted by many
Of his Republican constituents, was not
afraid to utter at the Ashfleld dinner
ipna mil yht hou
the pen Of ATKINSON or the lungs OF
BRYAN. He declared that the United
States Government was engaged in
miserable business in the Philippines. He
pictured AGUINALDo as the champion OF
all that America ought to admire and re-
spect. He assured the Administration that
it was taxing the patience OF large body
Of Republicans, presumably in Western
Massachusetts, and he openly threatened
that II the Philippine policy were affirmed
In the party platforms, he and his SYM
pathizers would not hesitate to renounce
the name Of Republican.
There were more violent speeches at the
Ashtield dinner, but there was none more
artfully designed to embarrass the Admins
tration or to encourage the insurgents in
Luzon. The Hon. H. C. PARSONS is known
to be good deal of a politician; his declara-
ton at Ashtleld was therefore regarded as
indicating the existence of more or less
dangerous division of Republican opinion,
at least in that particular corner OF that
particular commonwealth.
We now come to the sequel. 1t occurred
last week. Senator PARSONS has been can
didate for denomination for a second term.
He and his friends have worked hard to
carry the caucuses for PARSONS and AGuI-
NAIDo. He is defeated. not only over

VIII tho English be Beaten Piecemeal
in South Africa?

In the War Of 1Sso-s1 between Great
Britain and the Transvaal there were five
engagements, in all Of which the English
were beaten, although on each occasion
they outnumbered their opponents. DR..
JAMEsoN's raiders surrendered to force
numerically smaller than their own. The
inference to be drawn from these events was
that, If Great Britain should decide to enter
upon another contest with the Transvaal,
it should 80 man9uvre as to profit from
the very beginning by its immense su-
periority OF strength
Nobody, OF course, disputes that in q
greatly protracted conflict, the tremendous
British Empire would, in the end, over
power two Dutch commemorative which
together contain less than 100000 deni-
zens of Dutch extraction. Indeed, all the
Afrlkanders in South Africa, including the

fewer in number than the people of

odds, il would he impossible to con-

MYstery.

As to where we are at on the sea, knowing
ones must differ. Tho wind for the yacht
race yesterday, which began with great
promise, turned out to be one OF the most
variable, fitful and sulky forces known in
the history OF the Americas Cup. 1t turned,
twisted. struck hard and light, straight
and back handed and at the end OF the
time allowed for the race to he completed,
the contesting boats were left some miles
from the finish, about in the same relative
positions as at the start, and with conflict
ing evidence as to their merits.
The Columbia held her own in reaching
better than had been expected. On the wind
at times, and we should say at most times,
when the boats appeared to be sailing under
like conditions, the Columbia outstripped
her rival, so that for the greater part of
the beat home, while there was any wind
worth speaking OF, Columbian hopes were
In the lead.
On the other hand, the Shamrock, now
and again, moved up in manner to per-
pick the critics inclining In her rivals
favor; and there we are.
We fancy that it was sort of trial that
both sides found comfort in. Probably Sir
THOMAS Upton thinks that his first tug at
the cup. although inconclusive, has, in
effect, lifted" it at least little, and on the
other hand Mr. IsELTN thinks that he saw
enough toprove that the better boat is his.
Certainly Mr.. FIFE, who made the Sham
rock has produced in her a combination
worthy Of study and suggested new
line of development for future racers
for the cup. With deeper ballast as a
foundation for greater rig, he has VEN
tured to make smaller boat, Shamrock
being two feet shorter than Columbia.
II the boom worn by Shamrock is
about the limit in size, Us perhaps it
is, then with still greater depth Of keel
we may so diminish the ballast that,
less displacement being needed, the
gigantic sloop Of recent years may
be shrunk again, so that her type
shall be more after the pattern of forty
footers, or great sails and small body.
The failure of yesterday has but added to
the zest Of tomorrow. The races wAl be
