BURTON ATTACKS

 -Burton's Statement
HEPBURN IS HARD AT WORK

Washington, April 13.-Mr. Burton, whose objection to the consideration of the Mic araguan bill attracted much attention, to- day explained his course in the following authorized statement:
 T wish it distinctly understood the ob- jection is made upon my own responsibil- ity. Objection to the consideration of the pending bill was made because:
 First, it abrogates treaty solemnly en- tered into and now in full force. While its abrogation could be accomplished by the passage of this bill, such action is without precedent in our relations with foreign powers; it is also unnecessary, be- cause the same result could be obtained by the HayPauncefote treaty, a measure which, though much misunderstood, is nevertheless a triumph of diplomacy.
 Second, it commits to a fortified ca nal instead of a neutral canal A neutral canal is not only in acordance with the general terms of our own policy, but would best subserve our own interests
 Ihlrd-There are also serious objections to the present consideration of this bill which will not exist at a later time It Is desirable that the present commission, the first which has given comprehensive and complete consideration of the subject of the construction of an international canal, should complete its work before a route is selected. In the same line it is desirable that provisional treaties be made with the countrys controlling either of the proposed routes, viz Costa Rica and Nicaragua on the one hand, and Columbia on the other hand. To pass bill commit ting the United States to either of these routes would prevent us from obtaining as favorable terms for right of way and control as could readily be obtained in case the question of the route should be poStponed

CENSUS OF THE DISTRICT.
LocnI Enumeration 90 BE Completed
on MOndaN

The local census enumeration is now
nearly completed. At the close Of business
today about 100 districts out CT the entire
15l into which the city was finally sub
divided VIII have been enumerated and the
others viii all probably be finished on
Monday within the fifteen days allowed by
law. Last night the count of seventy was
completed
Supervisor Diugman is willing to state
that the average increase throughout the
district completed indicates a satisfactory
growth in population. wealth, and educa-
ton; but he is prohibited by the census
regulations from giving any specific esti-
mates or figure. The total, or even the
approximate figures may not be given out
by Superintendent Merriam for some time
superintendent Merriam, in a casual
conversation few days ago, made an Of
hand estimate of the increase in the pop
ulation OF the District not considering that
IL was likely to get into print. He had
given strict instructions TO the superyis-
ors and all others in this respect and there
mas been some amused comment among his
subordinates about his breaking his own
rules. He insists that he was more sur
prised than anyone else to see himself in
print on the subject. His data for making
the estimate was of the most meagre de-
seription and he does not pretend that the
figures are likely to be anything like ac-
curate.

TERMINAL TAX DECISION.
Chicago Judge Rules Tint the Stock
yards Tariff Is just


CHICAGO, June 15.-The United States
Court Of Appeals has affirmed Judge Kohl
saats decision that the terminal tax i'm
posed by railways at the stockyards is
reasonable and not excessive.
The legal fight was made by the Inter
State Commerce Commission against the
terminal charges Of 81 imposed by rail-
roads on carloads Of live stock entering
the stOckyards. Judge Kohlsaat held this
tax to be reasonable some months ago.
inasmuch as the companies are charged
for the use of the tracks within the stock
yards. Prior to 1898 there were no charges
for the use Of these tracks, and later,
when roads were compelled to pay track
age, they fixed an extra charge on the
shippers.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
will appeal the case to the Supreme Court
