PROTECTED CRUISERS, ARMAMENT.
Judge Advocate General Decides How
| Its Cost Is to Be Defraxed.

Judge Advocate General Lemly has
just rendered an opinion In an
swer to an inquiry from the chief
of ordnance of the Navy Department
respecting the source from which the cost
for the armor for the three protected cruis-
ers authorized by the last naval appropri-
alton act is to be betrayed. The act fixed
the limit of cost for each of these cruisers
at s2,S0o,o00, exclusive of armament"
The point was whether not that figure
included the cost of the armor. In the case
of the battle ships and armored cruisers
the act stated specifically that ''armOr and
armament Were excluded in fixing the linn
IL of cost for those ships. AS to the pro-
tected cruisers, the judge advocate general
says:
Protected cruisers generally do not carry
armor within the meaning of the term as
defined in the opinion Of the attorney gen.
eral of January 81. 1889. This may account
for the failure of the act to except armOr
in fixing the limit of cost But it seems
clear. in view of the definite language of
said act. that the cost of such armor as it
is intended to place on the said three pro-
tected cruisers. except such shields and
connected with the efficient and safe work.
iEgs of the guns torpedoes, and so FORTH
must he included in such limit of cost
$2.SbNSeof each OF sa d protected cruis-
erS, the armor to be paid for proportonate-
ly from the appropriation made in the same
act, under the 'armOr and armament of
$i,UpWp, toward the armor and arma-
ment of domestic manufacture for the
vessels referred to in said act

issued from the headquarters of the De-
partment of the Lakes Brig. Gen. Wheeler
says
I'm view of the fact that two battalions
of the I'd and 9TH Infantry Regiments are
to be sent from the United States for
active field service as soon as practicable,
the commanding officers al posts of this
department where parts of these organiZa-
tfons are stationed will use every effort to
see that all enlisted men are given thor
ough instruction in pointing and aiming
drills, mechanism and management of their
rifles and as much target practice as it is
practicable to let them have.
Al officers of experience know how alb
soluteiy essential it is that a soldier in ac-
tive service should be good shot and thor
oushly understand his rifle.
With this end in view. commanding Off
GERS at stations garriSoned by the I'd and
18th Infantry Regiments will at once begin
the above indicated course of instruction
for all soldiers and recruits. and continue
them daily, Sundays excepted, for as many
hours each day as is practicable until all
men are properly instructed.
As soon as the battalions arrive from
Cuba their instruction will be commenced
and prosecuted vigorously upon the same
lines until all the men destined for foreign
service reaches as high a degree of pro-
ficiency in handling their arms as possible.

as whole. an increase in population of
1888, or 2O.9S per cent, from 1890 to 1900.
The First Report.
The above is the first preliminary report
Of population given out by the census Of
flee. The returns for the District were
the first that were delivered complete to
the director Of the census and the office
force was put to work on them at once.
This Is the official and final count, the d.
rector having abandoned the old plan of
making a preliminary or rough count.
based on a hurried compilation Of names
on the population schedules. All popula-
ton figures that are given out in the fu-
ture will be final and based on the count
by the Hollerth tabulating machines,
avoiding the annoying adjustment of dis
crepancies which occurred in the last
census.
The population Of the more important
cities will be announced in advance Of the
figures of states and territories. but it is
not likely that the population of another
city will be announced for ten days or two
weeks. 1t is expected. however, that the
official count Of the population of the United
States will be given to the public on or
about December 1, 1900.
District Increase.
For the present details concerning the
population of the District will not be tab
ulated That work will not be begun until
after the population figures have been tai
ulated
1t will be seen that the population within
the old limits of Georgetown in ten years
increased but 503. The old city limits of
Washington increased in population % 264
while that section formerly known as the
county increased Is, $50.
The census Office also issued today tab
ulation of the agricultural statistics of a
recent enumeration of live stock in the Dis
trict of Columbia. This shows the live
stock in the District to be as follows: Cat
tie and steers. 81; horses, 11,57s; mules,
2I6: sheep, 80; swine, :.52; goats "a.
The work of the census office Is going on
steadily. Yesterday there were employed

this number will be increased to 100 and
by August l the number will be 1 100. Yes
