THE CENSUS.
In 155 OF the Largest cities of the
United states Numerical Increase
of Population Was G27 o53.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Statistics
have been compiled at the census bu-
reau, based on the population of large
cities which have been announced up
to the present time, which demon
strate that the 155 largest cities in
the United States numerically in
creased in population from 1890 TO
1900 almost exactly as they did be-
tween 1880 and 1890. These 1j5 cities
increased their population 4.7O6. 1O7
from 1880 TO 1890. and 4.627.053 from
1890 10 1900. or just 7s.l5l less during
the latter than in the former period.
OF course, when the aggregate per-
centages of increase OF the popula-
tion Of these 15j cities during these
two periods are compared, they show
that the percentage Of increase was
considerably lower in the last ten
years, because the increase is COM
pared with a larger population in
1900 than it was in 1890.
The fact that numerically the in
crease of the population OF these
cities has come out just about the
same during the last two censuses is
more interesting from the fact that
the rates Of increase of the various
cities have varied greatly.
