is A BOER SYMPATHlZER.

Ex-President Harrison Sees No Reason to
he Grateful to the British.
New YORK, March IA special to
The World from Auburn, Ind, sayss
Ex-President Harrison has been inter-
viewed by many public men of Indiana
in regard to the British Boer war and
he minces no words in expressing his
sympathy for the Beers, although he
persistently refuses to be publicly
quoted lest his words embarrass the Nc
Kinley administration.
General Harrison contends there is no
occasion for gratitude on the part of
this government towards tho British.
He thinks the British were guilty of in
human practices during the Revolution
airy war and that their attack on this
nation in 1912 had no justification from
any international standpoint, while
their conduct toward the Union during
the Civil war was also reprekensible.

rebellion. Many Of the Dutch from
neighboring districts are reported to
have joined them, notably Pet Mool-
man, who will lead the rebels to Brand

thought that the total number of men

opinion of loyalistsis that strong force
of British will be required as a reverse

HIS VIEWS NOT CHANGED.

said the President Still Relieves In Free
Trade for Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Post
says: President Mckinley, in converse
ton with callers at the White House,
reiterated his belief that the people Of
Porto Rico were entitled to free trade
with the United States. He made it
clear that his views had undergone no
change since he wrote his message to
congress. At the same time he said he
was unable to subscribe to the theory
that the constitution followed the flag;
that the Porto R,cans must have free
trade as necessary legal right. When
he found that the house deemed it the
part of wisdom, the president explained,
to impose small tariff upon condition
that the revenues SO collected all be re-
turned to the island he had been con-
strained to yield to the judgment Of the
house. T.

GREAT BATTLE IMMINENT.

Boer Force in Front Of Roberts Increasing
Continuously.
LONDON, March :. Lord Roberts
still pauses in the neighborhood Of o.
fontein, while stores, remounts and
fresh troops stream toward him from
the Cape. The British position also
continues to improve in the minor
spheres of the campaign. Natal is clear
Of Beers and Cape Colony is nearly So.
The Beers seemingly are pursuing the
course commended by the s!rategists
and are concentrating to resist the Brit
ish main army. Various messages
from correspondents with Lord Roberts
report that the enemy are increasing
continually on his front, extending, as
one correspondent wires, eight miles
and, as another says, eighteen miles.
The lowest estimate of their numbers
gives the Beers from 5000 to 10000,
with smaller bodies moving north and
south of the British lines. Each army
is on both sides Of the Modder river.
Although the
Beers Have Mounted Eight Guns
on the tops Of kopjes and appear to be
too far away for inspection, the British
scouts report that they are diligently
using pick and shovel Military opin-
ion is that their present position merely
screens a more easily defended one far
ther back. No one seems able to fathom
Lord Roberts plans, but it is suggested
that he is quite willing to give the Beers
time to assemble all their men in order
to be able to give a sweeping blow more
effectively.
The ground robin" in favor Of the an
nexation Of the Transvaal and Free
State, which is being promoted among
the supporters of the government in the
house of commons, continues to receive
signatures. The signatures to the
memorial to Mr.. Balfour affirm that the
time has come for plain speaking inside
and outside Of parliament and that Lord
Salisbury's words are being construed
into a pledge against annexation and
Lord Roberts PROCLAMATION into a
pledge Of no confscation of Boer prop.

Where Population Increases Most.

The census of 1900 not only indicates q
decline of the rate of incl ease Of population
in the United States as whole from 20 per
cent in the decade 1880 1890 to 81 per cert.
In the decade 189O-l900, but it also shows
that the entire west, from Ohio TO the Paci.
fic, has decidedly abated its rate of Increase.
1t the ten years just ended the East and
South have made better record of growth
as respects population than the West. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and the
New England States between 1880 and 1890
increased their population In the aggregate
30 per cent while between 1890 and 1900
the increase was nearly 81 per cent. 30 the
South Atlantic has increased in the last de.
cade by 10 per cent. against 10 per cent. in
the previous decade. Both the North At.
lantic States show a small increase in their
rate Of growth of population in the last de-
cade.
In this respect the West falls behind. TAX.
ing view of the Northern States, including
all from Ohio to the Dakotas, together with
Missouri and Kansas, the rate of increase of
population has fallen from % per cent. in
the decade 1880 1890 to 1S per cent in the
last decade. The rate at present Is accord,
lngly below the average rate of increase for
the entire Union instead of aboYe it as for.
merly. Some of the Western States that
were recently increasing population by leaps
aud bounds are now almost stationary.
Kansas, for example, increased In the last
decade by only 8 per cent and Nebraska
only per cent The newer States toward
the Pacific have fallen from II per cent.
rate to more modest 35 per cent. rate Of
| increase. To be cuntrasted with this decline
is the increased rate in the Southern Central
States, including all States south of the OHIO
Texas and Oklahoma, where there has been
gain in the last decade of 25 per cent. as
against % per cent. IN the previous decade.
The agricultural prizes OF the West have
been won and population no longer flows to
virgin lands to any large extent, whereas
the manufacturing cities OF the Eaet still at.
tract population. The Central West yields
the pace to the older sections of the East.
New Jerseys growth OF 80 per cent. against
| 1e per cent in Missouri. Is per cent. In In.
diana and II per cent in Iowa, shows that
as respects population new tendencies are
beginning to prevail-Sun.
