The renewal Of Boer activity. says a
London dispatch, is probably due to the
effect Of the crisis IN China. This Is no
doubt true; and the more acute that
crisis becomes the greater win be the
activity Of the Beers. With nearly a
quarter Of a million soldiers In South
Africa, England has small resources IN
men TO draw upon for service in China,
unless she goes to India for them, which
she now seems disposed 10 do. Il was
largely through her war against Nspo-
leon that she lost her American colonies,
Through the Chinese trouble she may
lose her South African colonies.

GROWTH OF THE CITIES.

About the Same Increase Between
1880 and 1900 as i'm Previous Decade.
Statistics have been compiled at the CEN
susu bureau. based on the populations of
large cities which have been announced up
the present time. which shows q most in
teresting fact in relation to the growth of
cities. 1t demonstrates that the loo largest
cities in the United States numerically in
creased in population from 1890 to 1900 al
most exactly as they did between 1880 and
1850. These 155 cities increased their popu-
lation 4,706,l0I from 1850 to 1890, and 4,627,-
953 from 1890 to 1900, or just IS, 154 less dur
ing the latter than in the former period.
OF course. when the aggregate percentages
or increase of the population of these 155
cities during these two periods are COM
pared, they show that the percentage of
Increase was considerably lower in the
last ten years, because the increase is COM
pared with a larger population in 1900 than
it was in 1890
The fact that numerically the increase of
the population of these cities has come out
just about the same during the last two
censuses is more interesting from the fact
that the rates of increase of the various
cities have varied greatly.

the entire situat ton and why he had made
the request for troops The sheriff told him
that he was wanted at so many places in
the county 10 protect life and property that
II was impossible 10 be everywhere. He
frankly told the governor that the stua ton
as IL stood yesterday was getting beyond
his control and suggested to him that two
regiments would be sufficient to preserve

May Extend the Northern Railway.
Consul General McNally at Guatemala
has notified the State Department that the
Guatemalan government has accepted the
proposition of the Central American I'M
provement Company to complete the North
ern railway to the city of Guatemala with
out concessions or subsidy of any kind save
that of a land grant. The railway suffered
considerable damage during the past rainy
season, owing to the unusually high water
in the rivers. Bridges were washed away
and part of the road bed of the railway
damaged. The Central American Improve
ment Company guarantees to complete the
railway in thirty months, without cost of
any kind to the government of Guatemala.
1t demands. however, the privilege of op
Grating the road for ten years, after which
time the Guatemalan government is to pay
the Improvement company the sum of
A,OO0,O0O in gold, with interest. In con-
sfderation of this the government cedes to
the company 100000 acres of land contigu-
GUS to the railway. These lands are to be
used in the cultivation of bananas. Mr..
Minor c. Keith is president and Mr.. Rich
ard Barthel is secretary and treasurer of
the Central American Improvement Com
pany, the headquarters of which is at New
