THE CENSUS OF 1900.
It VIII Re Taken Under Different
Ausnices from Any Other

The taking OF the census of 1900 is more
than year in the future, yet the matter
attracts more than usual interest. This
may be due in part to the fact that that
census will be taken under different aus
pices from any other, the act just passed
establishing a Census Bureau as a per-
manent part Of the machinery of the gov
eminent. The taking of the census under
the new law creates the office of director
of the census, and to that Office the Presi-
dent has appointed Ex-Governor William
r. Merriam, Of Minnesota, with DR.. Fred
erick H. Wines, of Illinois, as assistant
director.
Governor Merriam has more patronage
at his disposal than the President of the
United States. He has under the law
the appointment of more than 81, 900 pub
lie employees, as follows:
Fifty thousand enumerators of the cen
sus at graded pay.
Three hundred supervisors, salary
81 600 each or more.
Five chief statisticians, salary $4,000
each.
One chief clerk, one dsbursing clerk,
one geographer, salary $500 each.
Five experts chiefs of division and two
stenographers, salary $4,000 each.
Ten clerks of class four, salary $1,000.
Fifteen clerks of class three, salary
$1,000.
Twenty clerks of class two, salary ST.

Three thousand clerks of class one and
clerks, copyists, computers and skilled la
borers, with salaries of from 5000 to 81,

Some Of the trumpeters of the Seventh

thing now out in the Marianao camps to
hear the high, shrill notes of Spanish
bugle sounding an American call.
Ell Occidente, a Guanajay newspaper,

Duties of the American Com mission
Are Made Public.
The uncertainty concerning the powers
and scope of the Philippine commission
has been set at rest by the publication
of an order issued by President Mckinley
to the Secretary Of State.
The order is a concise statement Of the
personnel, duties and authority of the
commission, and defines its exact rela-
ton to the military government now in
force.

Dewey, Maj. Gen. e. S. Otis, Charles S.
DENLY and Dean G. Worcester, is in
structed to meet at Manila and announce
by public proclamation it's presence and
authority carefully setting forth that,
while the military government already
proclaimed is to be maintained and con-
tinued so long as necessity may require,
efforts will be made to alleviate the bur-
dens Of taxation, to establish industrial
and commercial prosperity and to provide
for the safety Of persons and of property"
The commissioners are to ascertain,
without interference with the military
authorities what amelioration in the con-
dition of the inhabitants and what inn
provements in public order may be prac-
ticable For this purpose they will study
attentively the existing social and politi-
cal state of the various populations, par
ticularly as regards the forms of local
government, the administration of JUS
tice, the collection of customs and other
taxes, the means of transportation and
the need of public improvements. They
will report through the State Department
and will recommend such executive action
as may be required. The military gov
eminent will continue in force until Con-
gress shall determine otherwise.
The commissioners are authorized to
confer with residents Of the islands to
recommend suitable persons among them
for appointment when personal changes
in the civil administration seem advisa-
BILE, and to exercise respect for the ideals,
customs and traditions Of the natives,
emphasizing the just and benevolent in
tentions of the United States Govern
ment. Acknowledgment Of allegiance to
the American Government is primary
requisite to recommendation for appoint

$4,000 FOR REGULAR ARMY.
President Will t Increase Force to
the limit.

President Mckinley has decided the
regular army Of 65, 1000 men will be ample
force at present, and that no steps shall
be taken to organize provisional army Of
$4,000 volunteers. This decision was
reached in view of the favorable outlook
in Cuba and Porto Rico and the prospect
in the Philippines that the outbreak there
will be suppressed at an early day.
Enlstments to bring up the strength
of the regular army to the number au-
thorized by Congress, $4,000 men, will be
made at once. The roster Of the major
generals of the provisional army has also
been decided on, according to the best
information obtainable. 1t is as follows:
Nelson A. Miles, major general command
ing; Wesley +. Merritt, department OF
the east; John r. Brooke, department OF
Cuba Elwell S. Otis, department of the
Philippines; William r. Shafter, depart
ment of California. This is disappoint-
ment to Gen. Joe Wheeler, who had hoped
to go to the Philippines to take part in
the fighting there.
