Are the Others-Director Merriam
Calls on the President to Tell Him
That His End of the Work Is
Ready.

washington, Nov. 14,-Director OF
the Census Merriam was at the white
house and called the attention OF the
president to the fact that the figures
on the population of the United States,
the. total of which has already been
announced, are in such shape that
they will be at the disposal of con-
gress when it meets for any action it
may desire to take in the direction OF
a reapportionment bill. The reappor-
tionment following the count OF the
twelfth census becomes operative by
law in 1908.
There will probably be consider
able increase in both the ratio and the
total number of representatives under
the new apportionment. Starting with
a ratio of one to every 10000 inhabi-
tants, there were IS representatives
in the first congress. The eleventh
census n 1890 gave a population Of
62,622,2O, or an increase of 1850, 900.
The ratio was 173,901 people to each
representative and the house num-
bered 356 members. The ratio under
the new census will probably reach
200 ,0O0 With an increase of 1925
464 shown by the present census and
letting majority fractions of the ap-
portionment count for an additional
member, as has been the custom, this
makes an increase of 18 members in
the next house. A reapportionment
on this basis would cause only four
states to lose representatives. They
are Maine and Virginia in the east
and Kansas and Nebraska in the west.
each. Any ratio smaller than 100000
which would save them their full rep
resentation would cause a consider
able addition to the membership of
the house.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Kid Broad OF
Cleveland stayed six rounds with Ter
ry McGovern at TattersalPs last night,
and although McGovern had the nghC
well in hand he never had an oppon-
emf who came back at him more stout
ly and gave him as much in the same
time as did the little stocky fellow who
faced him last night. Broad fought a
wonderful fight, mixing it freely with
McGovern at all stages, and scoring
two clean knock-downs, besides several
iolts which shook the champion from
end to end. Broad kept his feet
throughout the fight, except in the hrst
round, when he was knocked down,
and in the sixth, when he went down OF
his own accord to rest. He could not
have fought another round, however,
for he was completely smOthered by
the storm of blows which the cham
pion rained upon him.
The fight was made under articles
calling for 1875 pounds McGovern's
weight was announced as l2z1a;
Broad's 12o. Before the fight James

country offering the best inducements,

CORBETT'S ALIBI.

Damage Suit

Twas Good and Forms Prelude to
Damage Suit.
Milwaukee, Nov. 14-Through his
attorney, Henry F. Corbett has hled
an affidavit of prejudice against the
circuit court in Racine county, over
which Judge Fish presides, and the
case against Rev. David B. Cheney
and wife and Chief of Police Schu-
macher of Racine will be heard in a
Milwaukee court about the first week
in December.
This action, a damage suit against
Corbett's accusers, recalls the famous
Corbett- Cheney case, in which Henry
F. Corbett, an Englishman, was &C
cused of attempting to murder the
minister and his wife in their own
home in that city. After sensational
trial he succeeded in establishing an
unassailable alibi and was acquitted.
Then an action was begun for heavy
damages against the chief of police,
who arrested him, and the ewo prin-
cipal witnesses against him. Mr..
Corbett maintains that he was wrong
fully and unlawfully detained and i'm
prisoned on a charge for which no
warrant of arrest had been issued and
that Rev. and Mrs. Cheney testified
falsely against him. The damages
asked aggregate $4,000.

ALL PRESENT MEMBERS LIKELY
TO REMAIN.
ATTORNEY GENERAL
President Expresses Appreciation of
Support Given Him by Heads of De-
partments and Urges Their Contin-
uance in Office-Secretary Root the
Only Member Absent

Washington, Nov. 14.-President Nc
Kinley yesterday announced clearly
and forcefully to the members of his
cabinet a desire that they should all
remain with him during the four years
of his coming administration. His
wishes were made known in a speech
at cabinet meeting in the white
house. Responses were made by all
members that they would accept the
portfolios thus rendered afresh. and
there was on the other hand no definite
declination.
Yesterdays proceedings set forth
the wishes of the president in the mat
ter and relieved the members of the
cabinet of the customary obligation of
rendering their designations at the end
of the term. It also sets at rest all
speculation as to slate making of the
country's present prophets, for it is
understood generally that there is but
one doubtful factor in the homogeneity
of the present cabinet. That factor is
Attorney General Griggs, as he holds
the present position at a great f1nan-
cial sacrifice. Still, Griggs replied IN
terms of warm appreciation to the COM
plimentary remarks of the president,
and voiced no intention of retiring
from his present position.
The president reviewed the work of
the administration in the past four ex-
citing years. It was a surprise to note
how accurately the president had fixed
-, Of 10
how calmly he relinquished personal
credit for the successful strokes of
party policy or prudence attributed to
members of his official family.
He said if the result of the recent
election was an endorsement of his
administration, it was no less an en-
dorsement of the men who stood by
him in time of adversely Credit for
success he said, lay with the heads of
ms various departments. and he would
shrink from entering upon another
four years of Office unless he could be
assured he would have with him ma
jority of them. He said he knew that
in asking them to remain with him
there was scarcely any one who could
do so without some sacrifice. At the
same time he said he should feel hap
pier # ell of them could crafty his
wishes.
Secretary Hay vas the first to re-
spond. He deeply appreciated the
complimentary references made by his
chief, and thought there was no mem
Der of the cabinet who would sever
such pleasant oficial relations withou:
regret, and even then only in case Of
the most urgent reasons for retire
ment. Secretaries Gage, Long, Hitch
cock, Wilson, Attorney General Griggs
and Postmaster General Smith each
ST oke in turn, in much the same vein.
Secretary Root was the only abse 1T
member from the meeting, having left
| for Cuba to look over the military af-
fairs there, and at the same time. try
to recuperate from a long and serious
| illness.
| The meeting, which had developed

routine business and the coming mes
sage to congress. The meeting stands
as one of the most remarkable cabinet
