estimates OF population on January l, 1893,
made principally by governors OF States,
which aggregate 7IS0S, 231: and, In spite
OF the marked decline in immigration dur
ing the present as compared with the de-
cade Immediately preceding, the impress
sion that the twelfth census VIII show a
population aggregating not less than IS,
100000 or $4,000, 900 is almost universal.
An estimate prepared by the government
department of statistics and made the
basis of several important calculations UNI
dertaken in the bureau of siatisticB office
gives support TO the popular expectation
This estimate places the population on
June l. 1898, at 1889 00e. thus assuming
an increase of II 612, 7i0 or 1879 per cent.
since the census of 1890, rough calcula-
ton, involving a minimum OF mathcmaii
cal knowledge, yet one that would not be
widely inaccurate for so short period,
II the original premises were correct,
shows that this estimate involves an av-
erage annual increase OF 1i7l 900 which
if carried to the end Of the decade, would
give n total population at that time OF H.
332 600.
A more careful study of the estimates,
taking into consideration those published
for each year since 1890 indicates that he
actuary assumes that the movement of the
population conforms to what is known as
an algehraic curve of the third degree.
such u curve may be prolonged indefinite
ly and II involves hut II comparatively sim
pie calculation to see that the estimate of
1900, unless the present method is prac-
tlcally modified, will be between 1853, coo
and II, 100000. Taking the mean of these
figures, the increases from 1890 to 1900
would be 2i.o4 per cent, which is to he
compared with 24,s6 per cent from 1880
to 1890 and 1852 per cent from 1860 to
1870.
With all necessary allowances however,
1t seems safe TO predict that the population
of the United States on June /, 1900, will
not exceed 741S0, $50; that II is even more
likely to fall below that figure

FOR A THIRD TERM.
Johnston of Alabama Urged to Run
Again.
Especial to The PostD

lSpeclal 10 Inc PoStl
birmingham, Ala, July 22.-Local sup
porters of Governor Johnston are cir
cuIating petitions calling on him to make
the race for third term as governor.
The petitions set forth that Governor
Johnston Is the only man who can main
tain and carry ont the reforms which he
has iuaugurated in the management of the
States affairs. and he is urged very forcl-
bly, TO seek another nomination, close
friend of the governor said:
The fight Is to be Johnston or anti
Johnston In the campaign. II matters not
who the candidates are. In view of this
fact, Governor Johnston might just as well
come out and lead the Johnston side OF
the fight"
The governor is also being importuned
through letters from his friends in this
section TO come forward and make con-
test for another nomination. and they are
inclined to think he Will do so. The move
ment Is thought to be the result of n be-
lief that no man who mas so far been of
fered for governor Is sufficiently strong
Johnston supporter to win. Opponents of
the governor say they hope he will an
nounce, as they desire to see him showed
under. His friends, however, think he will
sweep the State il, he runs. and that no
can also more surely capture the senator
ship.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
All Manhattan and Brooklyn Cars Are Run
ming on Time.
APPARENTLY THE STRIKERS HAVE LOST
The Militia Has Been Called Out mt
Cleveland to Preserve Order
Among Strikers.

Il New York, July 22.--Notwithstandin
the absolute collapse Of the trolley strikes
in Brooklyn and Manhattan, General Alas
ter Workman Parsons continued to de-
clare today that the strikers had won q
great victory.
In Brooklyn cars on all the roads except
the Nassau system were running under
almost ordinary headway while for the
! first time there was n continuous run OF
cars to Coney Island and other watering
places AS a result the beaches were
crowded this afternoon and the people had
no difficulty whatever In going to and fro.
Manhattan cars were running as usual
on all the lines and with the exception OF
slight disturbance on the Second avenue
line tonight, everything was running
smoothly and without interruption. The
strikers are returning to work on this,
which was practically the only affected line
in New York
The most important incident in Brook
lyn today was an attempt to cause an ex-
plcsion uroer Seventh avenue car A
package containing two sticks of dynamite
with fuse attached was found, but IL was
bungllng effort and no damage was done.
| Judging from the manner in which tho
traffic was handled today, the officials OF
the various lines both in Manhattan and
Brooklyn are confident OF ending the strike
ten orrow.
Late tonight Chief Devery sent n large
body of mounted policemen TO Brooklyn.
augmenting the mounted force there. He
also sent large number of the bicycle
squad and detectives. Brooklyn is pa
trolled tonight by mounted men and tho
detectives and police have been detailed to
watch the lines closely for dynamite. 1t
was rumored that outrages would take
place. The police are taking every pre-
caution to preserve order.
