This figure may be accepted as a close representation of the final result. The population of the state at the time of the last census in 1890 was TAG. .25S and growth of 134,O90 would demonstrate the fact that Con necticut is becoming a popular abiding place with homeseekers.
 Supervisor Eddy reports that the re- turns from all the enumeration dis tricts with the exception of twenty eight, have been forwarded to the cen sus office at Washington. and the en- umeration in all of these has been com pieted except one in which the return of the count has been delayed but will soon be ready.

intervention had freed from Spain, to

rights were extended it became the
