RAPID GROWTH oF GILES.

Revelations of the Last Census-Where
the Increase is Most Marked.
The rapid growth of the cities of the
New England and Middle Atlantic
States Is, perhaps, the most striking
revelation that has yet been made by
the twelfth decennial census. OF the
lo9 cities of the country having a
population of more than 25,000, about
eighty had made a greater numerical
gain in the ten years just closed than
Ill the ten years preceding. Since it
goes without saying, also, that about
the same number grew faster than the
! average-325 per cent.-it is interest
ing to ascertain that a study of the
bulletin where these cities are. con-
sidered by sections This study af-
fords an admirable test of urban
growth, and reveals in striking man
ner the remarkable progress of the
northeastern part of the country.
OF the eleven cities in the South At
lantic group of States only three grew
faster than the average for the coun-
try. These were Atlanta, Norfolk and
Jacksonville. In the South Central re-
gion only seven out of eighteen grew
faster than the average. In the West
ern group there were six out of twelve
In the North Central group, compris
ing the States north of the Ohio. most
| OF the old free States, with the addi.
ton of Missouri, twenty-five cities out
OF forty-eight made more than average
progress. With the country thus di-
vlded into five great sections. none of
the four so far mentioned shows n
group of cities In which more than half
were growing faster than 32.5 per
cent. in a decade of years. The re-
naming section IL the North Atlantic:
in 1t forty-two out of seventy cities
have grown faster than the country's
average. In Connecticut all five OF
the cities of more than 25,000 inhabi.
tants made showing above the aver.
age. In New Jersey seven out of ten
were above the average; in Pennsyl
Vanla, eleven out of eighteen; In
Maine, one out of one-Portland: fl
''''NN'N f''''''Nif NAiNN Oul VI dGu
in Massachusetts eleven out of twer
ty.
1t should be borne in mind that the
actual growth of the cities in the
North Central region was faster, owing
to the presence of few cities on the
great lakes; but the number of cities
to show this tendency was, as already
indicated, less than in the North At.
lantic States.
The stagnant cities were in eastern
Nebraska, northern Michigan, and at
the headwaters of the Hudson. Oma.
ha, Lincoln and Sioux City belong to
the first group, Saginaw and Bay City
to the second and Troy and Albany
to the third. AS general rule, the
cities have grown fastec in the re-
glons OF coal-beds or of well-utilized
water-power.-New York Post

n Young Boy Who Called to Take
His Daughter to Church.

Ottumwa, Ia, Feb. 19.-Leslie East
burn, a 21-year-old boy, shot Jasper
Sutton, an aged and respected citizen
of Bloomfield. at 1920 Sunday morn
ing, the ball penetrating the abdo-
men and causing almost instant
death. Eastburn called at SuttOn's
home to take his 1S-year-old daughter
Alice to church. The father met him
at the door and ordered him away.
An alteration ensued, and Sutton
followed Eastburn to the road. Weap-
ons were drawn by both men but
Eastburn fired first, the other man
falling before he could raise his weap-
on. Eastburn gave himself up, going
into Sutton's home and consolling the
daughter until an officer arrived. The
shooting created intense excitement,
many people who were en- route to
church having witnessed the duel.

SMALL RIOT IN ELPASO
One Policeman and a Colored Sol
dier Were Killed.
Corporal Was Locked Up for
Drunkenness the Day BefOre-The
Battle the Outcome OF an At
tempted Rescue.

FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 1S.-At o'clock
Saturday morning a mob of Negro
soldiers from Fort Bliss attacked the
city police station with the object of
releasing two of their comrades e7ho
had been arrested Friday.
During the fight Police Officer Newt
Stewart and one Negro soldier were
killed, and it is believed that another
OF the soldiers is wounded.
Friday afternoon the police locked
upa corporal from the fort for getting
drunk and threatening to chase the
police force out of the city, and Fri
day night another drunken soldier
was arrested. Comrades of the prison
ers took the news to the post. A res
cue party, armed with Krag-JOrgen-
sens, was organized, and just before
daylight a descent was made on the
city.
Two of the soldiers, rifles in hand,
entered the building and demanded of
Officer Stewart, the only man on duty,
the surrender of their comrades.
Stewart ordered the men out of the

Jailer Richard Blacker, aroused by the
shots, sprang out of bed, grabbed his
pistol and started into the Office. One
of the soldiers shot at him. Blacker
fired and the Negro staggered and ran
out, followed by his companion, and
the entire squad left on a run.
About 20 shots in all were fired
Stewart was shot twice through the
lungs and died at o'clock. A trail
of blood leading from the station was
followed, and half a block away the
dead body of a Negro, shot through
the breast, was found. The dead man
clutched his gun in his hands. AnOth-
er rife and traces of blood were also
found, which indicates that another
of the Negroes was wounded.
The company stationed at Fort
Bliss is Company E. 25th infantry.
Posses are looking for the marauders,
though at the post it is claimed that
the only missing soldiers are the dead
man and the two prisoners in the po-
lice station.

PORTO RIcAN TARIFF.
The Bill Now Before the House VIII
BE Debated All Week, and Prom
Uses to De Memorable.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The house
viii enter upon the consideration of
the Porto Rican tariff bill and the de-
bate upon it promises to be memoirs
BILE in the history of this congress.
The vital question at issue in the biA
IS whether that clause of the consti-
tuition providing for equality of i'm
post and excise taxes throughout
United States territory extends over
the island of Porto Rico and in this
is involved perhaps the determination
of the future status and government
of our new accession.
The republicans in framing the bill
have proceeded upon the theory that
the constitution and its immUnities
do not extend over Porto Rico. The
democrats are solidly arrayed upon
the other side, and in committee they
were joined by one republican, Mr..
Mccall, of Massachusetts. Among
the other republicans who take the
same view is Mr.. Littlefield, of Maine,
who succeeded the late Mr.. Dingley.
He won his spurs in the debate upon
the Roberts case, and is already con-
sidered one of the most powerful de-
baters in the house. The support of
these two prominent republicans has
raised some hopes in the opposition
that they may be able to defeat the
bill, although this hardly seems prob
able at this writing.
Both sides are preparing for a royal
struggle. Mr.. Payne, the floor leader
of the majority, will open in support
of the bill He will be followed by
Mr. Richardson, the minority leader.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, will also close
for the minority. The debate will
continue throughout the week.
