From the New York World.
''Statist," writing in the Sunday
World reports that since the begin
ming of this year European holders
have sold to American investors no
less than s75,00O,000 of American rail-
road bonds and other standard secu-
rites.
In the final analysis these securities
come to us in payment for the pro-
ducts of our soil and our factories sold
abroad.
Their return lessons by the whole
amount of their annual interest the
sum which we must send abroad, either
in money or goods, as the interest on
borrowed capital.
Their return cancels SIS, 000,0 900 of
American debt to foreigners and marks
an increase of that much in American
debt to Americans; that is. in the
wealth of our own people.
The return of so great a volume of
securities within so brief a time, with
out depressing their price here or even
checking its upward tendency. is an
other most gratifying evidence of the
stability and permanence of our new
prosperity.

morning it's publication of the evidence
offered before the court of cessation, gives
the deposition of Major Hartman of the
22nd artillery, called as a witness for the
defense. He testified that the cannon of
l2O-caliber was not new In 1894, but was
adopted in 1896 and that one foreign power
has details concerning it. The manual of
firing instructions also was not confiden-
tial. he deposed, and many officers and
civilians were acquainted with it. Some
artillery regiments were unable to obtain
copies and had them printed by the regi-
mental printing presses.
Major Hartman pointed out that Ester
hazy was present at the maneuvers of
masses of artillery of the Chalons Champs
and that he probably while there saw the
firing of the 120-caliber gun. Witness con-

Much Advertised Fight Between
Smith and Green.
LOOKS LIKE A CON GAME
Smith Refused to Fight-HootS and Yells
From the $500 Buncoed Men.
Given Tickets to the
Next Fight.

San Francisco. April THE much
discussed fight between George Green
and mysterious" Billy Smith resulted
in a wretched fasco. After an inter-
mediate wait the 1000 people who had
come to Woodward's gardens expecting
to witness contest, were obliged to
defer that experience and all that they
received from the National club, under
whose auspices the contest was to have
taken place, was an exchange of cou-
pons, the new pasteboard emitting the
holder to admission to the next fight
under the same management, or, if too
vigorous protest was made. the money
was returned to the disguised patrons.
At $40 p. m. Green came into the
ring after a long delay. Smith did not
appear. however, and it was announced
that Smith had refused to go on because
there was not sufficient money in The
house to warrant a contest. He de-
manded guarantee of $500, whereas
the total receipts were given as s2.400.
Green came into the ring prepared to
fight and stated to the crowd that Re
should demand his part of the purse
When the announcement was made that
there would not be fight and that
tickets would be given to all those pres
emit emitting them to admission to the
next fight by the National club, there
was wild uproar by the $500 people
present. Hoots and yells greeted
Smiths name. and when finally that &C.
centric pugilist came into the ring TO
make statement, he was met by all
sorts of jeers and cat-calls. such as
coward" "qutter.' You're a dead
one,'' and other uncomplimentary
things. Finally. Captain Gllen, in
charge of the police, demanded that
Smith be heard. Smith simply stated
that there was not enough money in
the house and consequently he would
not go on. He then left the ring in mis-
street clothes and went out of the
building.

THE TWELFTH CENSUS.
A Scheme for Dividing the Country Into
Districts.

Washington, April THE following
scheme for the division of the country
into supervisors districts for the pur-
pose of the 18th census has been sub
mitted by Henry Gannett, geographer
of the census. and has been adopted by
Director Merriam
The census act provides that the
whole number of supervisors districts
shall not exceed 300, and that where
ever practicable, the boundaries of
these districts shall conform to those
of the congressional districts. The
number Of congressional districts is 1851,
TO which must be added eight territor-
ial districts, including one for Hawaii
and two for Alaska. The number Of
districts to be saved by consolidation is
therefore IS. In the interest of the
enumeration it has been deemed advs-
able to effect such consultations where
the population is denser than the aver
age, rather than in sparsely settled re-
gions. The places in which most of it
will be effected are accordingly the
densely settled states and the larger
cities, namely, New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia. Baltimore. Cincinnati,
Cleveland, st. Louis, New Orleans,
San Francisco. Milwaukee and Boston
and Buffalo.
This ARRANGEMENT. 1t is believed, will
insure greater individual responsibility
for the enumeration and the increased
compensation to the supervisor will en-
able the census officers to secure the
services of gentleman of larger OK
perience and capacity than if the work
was divided among several supervisors
at a lower rate. The census act fur
ther provides that the supervisors shall
be appointed by the president, by and
with the advice and consent of the SEN
ate. Following is the number of dis
tricts allotted to each Western state
and territory:
Alaska. .: Arizona, 1; California, c;
Colorado. .: Hawaii, l; Idaho l. In
dian Territory, /; Kansas, 7; Missouri,
10; Montana, !; Nebraska. 6; Nevada. /;
New Mexico, /: Oklahoma, L. Oregon,

A census bulletin will shortly be Is
sued naming the counties included in
each of the foregoing districts for the
information of the public.
