The House of Representatives elected
in November will doubtless be the last
one chosen under the present appor-
tionment of members to the various
States. When the census returns are
fully made up, Congress will decide
how many Representatives shall be al
lotted to each State, and then the States
will be divided by their legislatures into
districts. Whatever changes the new
apportionment makes in the States as
such. it seems certain that the large
cities will gain something at the ex-
pense of the rural districts.

Russian Cruelty.

From the beginning the conduct OF
the Russians has been q blot on the
campaign. When entering Pekin cor
respondents of the Associated press
saw Cossacks smash down Chinese
women with the butts OF their guns
and pound their heads until they were
dead. The Cossa CHS would pick up
children barely old enough to walk,
hold them by the ankles and beat out
their brains On the pavement. Rus
sian officers looked on without protest.
American officers at Taku, days the
fighting was finished, saw Russians
bayonet children and throw old men
into the river, clubbing them to death
when they tried to swim. The Rus
slams killed women who knelt before
them and begged for mercy.
