tory in 1900 is 1922, as compared
with so, $40 in 1890. This shows an
increase during the decade of 62,b92

sons, or total OF 2s,62S persons ON

or 3lS.7 per cent, giving population
in 1880 of 40. .440. The population in
1890, as stated in the report for that

VIEWED WITH FAVOR
Anglo-German Compact Sat
isfactory to United States.
NOTE OF APPROVAL WILL BE SENT
American Reply VIII Accept the Prln-
oiple Of the Agreement No AT
herance to the Alliance.

Washington, Oct. 24.-It was au-
thoritatively stated tonight that the
United States government views with
distinct favor the principles OF the
Anglo German agreement relating to
China and that formal response to
that effect will be made at an early
day to the invitation extended this
government to accept the principles OF
the agreement. The oerman charge
d'affaires, Count de Quadt. had con-
ference with Secretary Hay this after
noon, presenting officially the text of
the Anglo-German agreement. includ-
ing the invitation to the United States
to accept the principles therein record
ed. Mr.. Hay expressed his satisfaction
at what had been done, saying he felt
it to be in complete harmony with the
policy this government had pursued,
both as to the maintenance OF unob-
structed commerce in China and the
territorial entity OF the empire, and
adding that formal reply would be
given in a day or two. Count de
Quadt was gratifed at these assurances
and left with the belief that there was
such harmonious understanding on
the general principles involved that the
concurrence of the powers was near at
hand.
Mr.. Hay has been fully advised OF
the agreement and had gone over 1t
With great care with the president
Yesterday and today. This was the
more necessary owing to the president
departure for Canton tonight. The re-
suit OF these deliberations is summed
up in the statement that the govern
ment views the Anglo.German agree
ment with favor. 1t is also probable
that some attention has been given tc
the draft of the American reply. 1t II
likely to be more in the form OF note
Of approval rather than any formal ad-
herence TO the alliance, but this is said
to be merely matter OF detail.
About the only serious question
which has arisen as to the American
reply was in clause three OF the Anglo
German agreement. This states tha

and Great Britain reserve the right q

REVOLT OF THE INSANE.
Twenty Crime Patients OverPower the
Keepers and Escape.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Oct. a.
There was revolt at the Mattewan
state hospital for the criminal insane
this evening. when six or eight keepers
were assaulted and oyerpowered by 20
insane patients. Some OF the patients
escaped, and seven are still at large.
One or two of the keepers are badly
bruised.
After the patients had been given
their supper they were taken back to
their apartments with their keepers.
Among the number were Is or 30 who
slept in one Of the large corridors
where there were six or eight keepers.
There we're no suspicious movements
on the part OF the patients. But sud-
denly and withuot warning each keep
or was attacked simultaneously by two
OF three patients, and heavy blows de-
scended upon the heads OF the keepers.
The keys held by the keepers were TAX
en- from them quickly, and rush for
the door was made. The patients first
passed through the dining-room, where
each picked from the table heavy
late or cup or bowl. From the din
groom they went through the ad-
joining rooms. the doors OF which were
unlocked. and then into the long hall
leading to the rear exit. Through the
yard they ran like deer. and crowded
around the big gate in the wall, while
one OF their number was turning the
key in the lock. When the gate was
thrown open they rushed out OF the
yard, fairly tumblinr over each other
in their anxiety to gain freedom.
In the meantime the keepers had re-
covered sufficiently to give the alarm.
Chase was given across the hospital
farm, and all but seven Of the patients
were captured. The recaptured pa.
tients were taken back to the institu-
lion and securely locked up in other
parts OF the building. The searching
parties started out to scour the woods
in the vicinity OF the hospital. The
keepers who were assaulted were given
medical attention, and were able Il
join in the search for the fugitives
The reovlt. it is thought, was caused
directly by the cramped quarters a.

POLITICAL uPHEAvAL.
aused by tho Necessity for Stronger
Foreign Policy.

Caused by tho Necessity for n Stronger
Foreign Policy.
Yokohama, Oct. 22.-The resigna-
tion OF the japanese cabinet anc the
probable coming into power OF Marquis
Ito is the theme OF the hour. The
change came as surprise, although ]
vas deemed inevitable in the not dis
tant future. 1t was. doubtless, unwel
come to Marquis Ito himself, who has
by no means yet got his new party in
proper trim for harmonious and sue
cessful work. Although the latter is
well organized. 1t is made up OF many
incongruous and warning elements,
and early trouble is predicted for it,
especially in view OF distribution OF
the offices before IL is brought under
any sort OF discipline.
The ostensible cause of the sudden
upheaval in politics here is doubtless
the necessity which has risen for a
more decided and strenuous foreign
policy in view of the situation in
China. 1t is generally felt that Japan
has thus far kept herself too much in
the background in the negotiations
progressing on the neighboring conti-
nent and that the time has come for
her TO assert herself, her geographical
/ position, her eminent services in the
recent rescue OF the legations, and.
above all, her superior knowledge OF
what can and ought to be done In
China, all emitting her word and coun-
sci to be held to be OF greater weight
than that OF any other nation. Mar
quis Ito is the only man TO whom the
country can turn In this emergency,
as has been the case for many years
past whenever an important crisis had
arisen. A significant feature Of the
present case is to be found in the fact
that the Marquis is now credited with
strong pro- Russian tendencies.

PHILIPPINE NAVAL STATION
subiE Bay Is Not Considered q Suitable
Place.

subig Bay IL Not Considered q Suitable
Place.
Washington, Oct. 29.-Reports
which have reached the navy depart
ment are to the effect thas Subig bay,
in the Philippines, is not a suitable
place for locating an extensive naval
station, coaling station or navy yard,
owing to the limited depth of the wa
ter. Naval opinion has been divided
for some time as to the relative merits
of Manila bay and Subig bay. The
Spanish government spent large sums
ON Subig bay and it was thought to
offer facilities superior to those oil Ma
Mia bay for permanent naval head
quarters. An inquiry as to the relative
merits OF this and several other points
was instituted some time ago and the
reports forwarded through the COM
mander of the Asiatic station are not
favorable to Subig bay. holding that 1t
has disadvantages similar to those urged
against Manila bay. Several other
points are suggested as offering good
sites for stations or yards, including
lilo Ilo and Olongapo. Naval Con-
structor Hobson has taken different
view, however. and has presented g
plan 'or an extensive naval establish
ment on Subig bay. In view Of the
differences of opinion 1t is probable
that naval board will be named to
pass upon the several points and select
the one most available for station.

THE STRIKE SITUATION

Strikers Side.

sion Counted as Part OF the 10
Per Cent Advance.

Hazleton. Pa, Oct, 2S.-When Pres
ldent MITCHELL OF the United Miae-
workers. was asked what he had to say
in regard to settlement Of the miners
strike, he said:
"As there appears to be some dispo-
sition on the part of the public to place
the responsibility of the prolongation
of the strike on the shoulders OF the
mineworkeis, speaking for them want
to say that when the Scranton ccnyen-
tion accepted the 10 per cent increase
in wages providing the operators abol'
ished the sliding scale and guaranteed
the payment OF the adavnce in wage
until April /, the miners had met the
operators more than half way. They
had shown conciliatory spirit, and |
know of no good reason why the propo
sition should not have been accepted
by the operators. AS consequence,
the responsibility for the continuance
of the strike rests solely upon the fail.
ure OF the operators to treat the propo-
sition OF their employees considerably.
The public should understand that un-
satisfactory as is the proposition of the
operators, who make the reduction in
the price of powder apart OF the adj
vance of 10 per cent, that even this
proposition has not been offered by a
very large number OF the coal-produc-
ing companies in the anthracite region,
and until all companies guarantee the
payment of the 10 per cent advance
above the rate Of wages paid in Septem-
Der until April ] according TO decis-
ion of the Scranton convention, the
miners are powerless to act.
81 want to repeat again that there
can be no partial sectional settlement
of this strike. The large companies in
the Lehigh region that have refused to
move at all since the Scranton conven-
tion was held are Coke Bros. q Co.,
the largest coal producers in the Lehigh
region; q. b. Markle & Co., the Lehigh
& Wilkesbaire Company, the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company and a
large number of smaller companies.
There is also a considerable number OF
coal companies in the Lackawanna and
Wyoming regions that have not guaran-
teed the pamyent OF the 10 per cent
advance until April |. The only dis
triot that has accepted the terms OF the
Sclanton convention in full is No. 0,
better known as the Schuylkill district
Companies which produce about 81
per cent Of total production OF the
anthracite coal fields have guaranteed
the payment OF the 10 per cent ad'
vance and have abolished the sliding
scale.
When Mr.. Mitchell was asked what
he would do il all the companies were
to post notices, he said:
"When all the companies have post
ed notices then / will have something
to say"
When 1t was suggested to him thai
there might be break in the ra nks o
the strikers If the contest was to con
tinue much longer, he said that not on'
man would 90 back to the mines unit

Two Hundred indians starving.

Vancouver, B. G., Oct. ga spe-
cial from Agassiz, B. c., tonight says
that 200 Indians are starving at Penn
berton Meadows. 150 miles north Of
Agassiz. An Indian rider brought
news today that 80 Indian families
are dying and that it is doubtful If sup
plies can be sent to them quickly
enough to save their lives. They have
caught no salmon this season, their
potato crop has failed and their stock
has been drowned by floods. Recent
heavy rains have caused the Harrison
river to overflow its banks and the
whole country is said to be flooded.
Conditions are said to be worse now
than during the disastrous floods of
1894, when the district was under six
feet Of water. Supplies are being
rushed from Vancouver to the starving
Indians.
