CENSUS FIGURES NOT READY
NO ADVANCE REPORTS TO BE
GIVEN OUT.
Population OF States May be An

(speeial CorrespondenceN

Washington, July l2.-Recent informa-
ton coming from the census Office is to
the effect that there viii be no advance
reports on the census issued. as all work
has to be verified before the final results
are allowed to go out 1t has been ru-
mored that tie census of the various
states viii be given out in alphabetical
order, that is, Alabama will head the
list, and the rest of the states will fol-
low in order. This method of dealing
with the statistical reports, of course,
will be unsatisfactory in some instances
especially in those states which are anX-
iOus to find just where they stand, accord
ing to population, as compared with the
other states of the Union.
Governor Merriam stated recently that
The census of Washington City would
be the first 10 be given out, probably
followed by the largest cities in the order
In which the returns from these cities
We're made. Many inquiries have come
from all sections of the country in re-
gard TO this subject. but il is not def
nitely known just when the correct cen
sus can be obtained of the various states
and cities of the Union.
The predictions are, at present that
the final reports of the census of the
United States will not be completed un-
I'll some time in December. This. of course.

cities. and il is probable that definite
information concerning the population of

CHINESE ARE SAFE.
No Threats Against Those in the
Northwest.


Portland, Ore, July 15.-The Chinese
population of Portland exceeds 5000.
and there are perhaps 1000 in the state
of Oregon, yet no reports of threats OF
violence against them have been open
ly made on account of the outrages in
China. AT the celebration of the Fourth
of July in this city a large part of the
Chinese population took an active part,
and al the leading Chinese merchants
have in interviews expressed their 10y
atty to the United States government.
This expression of loyalty to the Amer
lean government has to a great extent
dissipated any feeling of hostility
which might otherwise have developed
toward the Chinese residing here.
In other cities of the northwest the
Chinese population is small, and so far
no hostile feeling has been manifested
against them on account of the Boxer
troubles.

Suggest Punishment.
Some of the American generals think
that the insurrectiOn could be ma
terially crippled by the establishment
of a st. Helena for the Filipino leaders,
banishing them to some island where
they could not give moral and financial
support 10 the rebellion. Guam is ad-
vocated as possible and advantageous
residence for captured officers and civil
officers. Archbishop Chappelle is a
supporter of the idea. He believes that
the policy of leniency is wasted upon
Asiatics, who fail To comprehend the
motives for it. To the American Off
GERS with whom he has talked. the
archbishop has said that the heads of
the leaders should be cut off.
A Conspiracy.
There is little doubt that the paroled
officers in Manila are in communication
with their brethren in the field. Those
who are released from prison, many of
them at least, take up arms again.
| General Young shipped to Manila 200
or 300 of his prisoners whom he con-
Sdered the most dan erOus characters.

as the keynote of all their troubles. The
archbishop has expressed his opinions

/ declines to give airy formal interviews
4 for publication. His conclusions sum
married. are these:
Archbishop's Opinions.
That the Filipinos owe to the monas-
| tic brotherhoOds all the education and
civilization they possess. That it would
] be a great injustice to the friarS to eX-
| pei them from the field wherein they
! have worked for centuries, or to de-
/ prive them of the estates which they
/ have acquired honestly and have ad-
ministered for the public good. That
/ it would be impossible to replace them
with other priests because there is nc
other clerical force acquainted with
! the country and the languages of the
people, and the Filipino priests are not
! competent to hold any but the subor-
| dinate positions in the church.
That the opposition to the friars is
an artificial propaganda fostered b!
/ the insurgents and by the Filipino
/ priests, who are themselves leaders ir
/ the instruction and are using it tC
obtain control of the church in thes1sl
] ands.
