TINE COUsIRrS POPULATION.

AS was generally expected, the count
Of the country's population reveals a
much smaller rate Of increase in the
past ten years than was scored in the
decade ending with 1890. The present
population is 70. 9O5, e90, Of which "a
627, 9O7 is in the states. This will be
the basis upon which representation in
the popular branch of congress and in
the electoral college will have to be
formed in the coming short ses-
sion of congress. The other portion of
the 20, 900, 600 of inhabitants are in the
territories Including lIawaiil-l,GG
sl3. The aggregate gain in population
in the decade has been l3,295, ,4Gl,
which is at the rate of about Il per
cent. This is the smallest proportion
ate increase in inhabitants in the whole
history Of the country, In the decade
ending with 1900 the gain was a small
fraction less than 25 per cent, and it
was 30 per cent in the ten years ending
with 1850 In the previous decade. that
