INDIAN RACE INCREASING.
rhs Population Of the Nations Wards %
GREAT as when America Was
Discovered.

Washington, Aug. 2a.-0ne Of the
most difficult tasks which the census
bureau will have to perform in taking
the census of the United States for 1900
will be tho enumeration OF the Amer
lean Indians. There has never been
anything like an accurate census Of
the American Indians. The Indian
population statistics which have here
tofore figured In census reports have
been compiled largely on estimates
furnished by the agents at Indian
reservations. For this census 1t Is the
intention OF Director Merriam to Sc
cure more accurate figures. The In.
dams on the reservation can be easily
counted; 1t Is those who are not under
the supervision Of the United States
authorities who will furnish the diff
Guilty.
There is popular impression exist
ing that the American Indian, like the
buffalo, is dying out. This Is undoubt-
eddy an erroneous idea. Statistics of
the Indian population of the United
States available ut the Indian Office in
Washington indicate rather that the
Indians are increasing. Officers do not
hesitate to say that there can be no
question but that the American Indian
Is holding his own rs far as the propa-
cation of species is concerned.
= The Indian population for 1893, ac-
cording to the figures furnished the
Indian Office, is 282.985. The Indian
population for 1897, according to fig
ures furnished from the same sources
from which those for 1898 were OBJ
tanned, was 24s,sl3. 1t will be seen
that this is gain of l4,15s in one year.
OF this increase, II. 14s is credited to
the five civilized tribes Of the Indian
territory. In 1897 the population of
these tribes, as reported to the Indian
Office by the Indian agents, was 65,97O.
In 1898 the population, as furnished by
the same source, was T7,0lS. This large
increase is accounted for on the ground
that the freedmen of the five civilized
tribes, who heretofore were not ac-
counted Us members of the tribe, have
been enrolled as citizens during the
present year.

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Splendid Showing of Banks.


The prosperity Of Kansas is proved
by figures In the summaries Of the
statements from 86s state banks, show
ing their condition at the close Of BUSH
ness June 20. According to these fig
ures the total amount Of money now
on deposit In these sos banks Is sa4,-
o91, 745.05. Similar reports for the
period ended July II, 1895, showed
deposits amounting to So, 1914, 956. 81.
The excess Of deposits this year, COM
pared with the preceding year. Is
81, 500, 7ss.7i. At the present time the
reserve fund of the 1888 banks amount
to 46.8 per cent, which exceeds all
previous records. One year ago the
loans and discounts reached the sum of
sl6,477, 473.35. At present this feature
Of the business represents SIS, l07, 072.9a.
The cash and sight exchange has been
reduced to sl4, a33, 475.4s. One year ago
the banks held surplus of
sss9, 05O.3i. This now amounts to
81, 0O1. 4ss.GG. At the present time
the undivided profits amount to
s4i5,74a6A A year ago this amount
was $3.50, 1855. Last July the indi-
vidual deposits amounted to si7s37,-
45s.d7. According to the returns men
toned the individual deposits now
amount to Sl9.6l2, O26.S3. The most
startling reduction which has taken
place in the years history is in the
bills payable. Last July under this
head the banks owed s193, 3a5.69. They
now owe only s72.693.16. One year ago
the demand certificates amounted to
eii.e9o. 4Ss.9s. They now amount to
