COLLECTION OF STATISTICS
Gathering Data Regarding the Country's
Industries.

The director Of census today gave out the
following concerning the selection of spe-
cial agents who will be employed by the
census bureau in carrying out the provi-
sons of the census law:
A plan has been outlined for the selec-
ton of the special agents who are to do
the work connected with the collection OF
statistics relating to manufacturing and
mechanical industries, differing consider
ably from that of ten years ago. At that
time special agents were employed as
clerks in the Washington office, and also
to collect information throughout the coun-
try on various subjects.
In Sixteen Classes.
Under the present law the only statistics
that will be gathered for the next two
years which will require the efforts of
special agents will be those concerning
manufacturing and mechanical establish
ments. Under the direction of the director
Of the census, Mr.. s. N D. North, chief
statistician in charge Of the manufactures
division has outlined a plan by which the
industries of the country are grouped under
sixteen different heads. including food ana
kindred products, textiles, iron and steer,
lumber and its manufactures, leather
CLAW, glass and stone products, etc. Ihe
work of collecting the information concern
ing the subjects mentioned will be done
under the immediate charge of sixteen ex-
pert special agents, selected under the d.
rction of Mr.. North for their expert knowi-
edge of the subjects assigned them All
the preliminary work for the ascertalnment
Of the various facts required Will be turn
ed over to the special agents referred 10,
subject to the supervision of the chieI
statistician of the division of manufactures.
Experts to Be Chosen.
Under the law it is absolutely requisite
that the data concerning the manufactur-
ing and mechanical industries be collected
within two years from June 1900 The
plan has therefore been adopted of appoint
ing special agents in all Of the largest cities
of the country, who will be employed not to
exceed thirty to forty days in gathering the
information required. 1t may be said IN
passing that the persons selected for this
particular work Will be men Of experience
and as far as possible expert knowledge.
InaSmuch as the law requires that the
statistics concerning the four general
heads, namely, population, MORTALITY asri,
culture and manufacturing and mechanlcal
establishments, shall be completed before
any other work is undertaken, the office
will have no use for the services of special
agents to gather Information until
after the four general subjects referred to
are completed. 1t is possible in about two
years when the special reports are taken
up that there will be more or less demand
for special agents to look after the gather
ing of the inquiries required by section
OF the census act.

VIII BE at Once Prepared for Trans
pOrtatfOn to Manila.
Ten of the twelve volunteer regiments
last called out have recruited their full
quota Of men and will be Immediately pre-
pared for transportation to the Philippines.
These regiments are numbered from the
3Sth to the 47th inclusive, and embrace all
the white regiments last authorized. Six
of these regiments have more than their
complement of men, and the excess will be
transferred to the other four regiments
The total strength of the ten regiments is
at present 1856 being only 1874 less than
the total required. Inasmuch as 234 men
were recruited yesterday, the War Depart
ment officials have no doubt of their ability
to secure the necessary 124 men today
Recruiting will be continued, however
for the two colored regiments. and 1t Is eX-
pected that they, too, will be fully organ

According to the present policy of the
War Department, these troops will be for
warded to the Philippines as rapidly as
possible, and the officials are confident chat
the last of them will be landed In the
Philippines before the end of December.
The chances are good, therefore, that most
If not all, of these volunteers, will partici-
pate in the proposed aggressive campaign
about to be instituted against the insur-
gents. The large naval reinforcements just
ordered to the Philippines will reach there
by the end of the year.

Local Governments Successful.
According to the Manila American. the
local governments established by the Amer
lean authorities in the Philippines have
been very successful.
Good reports" says the American, come
in from a majority of the towns where To-
cal civil government has been established
and recently appointed officers have, in ac-
lions more eloquent than words, attested
their loyalty to the United States. Not
long ago the mayor of a southern town
rsked his life in capturing personally
notorious inSurgent, and in other ways TINS
worthy man has given valuable assistance
to the American authorities. In the Island
of Necros everything is progressing IA
vorably and the natives there are taking
very kindly to the idea of having local

towns do well, let them receive full credit

REFORMS IN THE NAVY.
RecOmme nda tiOna of Judge Advocate
General Lemly.

In his annual report to the Secretary OF
the Navy, Capt. Saml. c. Lemly. judge ad-
vocate general. made public today. sub
mits some important recommendations
looking to the betterment of the judicial
branch of the naval service He calls at
tention to the great hardship Of carrying
on the record charges of desertfon against
veterans of the army and navy who left
their organizations at the close Of the
civil war without waiting the formality OF
discharge and 1t Is recommended that Con.
gress further extend the beneficial provis.
ions Of the act of August IA, 1888, intended
to relieve these people.
/ Attention is directed to the urgent neces-
sity If miscarriages Of justice are to be
prevented of comforting upon court-mar-
ttals the power to compel the testimony Of
civilians. 1t is also urged that court-mar-
tial proceedings may be simplified and has
tened to a conclusion If Congress confers
upon the courts the power to take testi-
mony by deposition.
Another recommendation is the merging
of the examination and retiring boards,
now uselessly duplicating functions. The
report points out that the old act classify
ing the vessels of the navy is obsolete, ow-
ing to the vast changes Of construction and
personnel, and suggests that 1t be modern
lied.
The matter Of prize and bounty claims re-
ceives considerable attention and the judge
advocate general submits list of forty-six
cases where his office has certified to the
treasury the facts connected with the seiz-
of Spanish vessels during the war. The
vessels in such cases are all of them mer-
chant ships, and the majority of them fell
to the share of the blockading squadron:
many of them being subject to the claims
of half a dozen United States war vessels
Fourteen cases were carried to the Supreme
Court for adjudication.
Relative to the bounty claims, including
those of the actions of Manila Bay and
Santiago, well for the sinking of tina
Reina Mercedes. the judge advocate gen.
eral called upon the Court of Claims to
take such action as would settle them
promptly, and they are now pending before
the court.
