THE CANAL REPORT.

The report of the isthmian canal
commission, submitted by the Presi-
dent to Congress on the 4th, gives as
the unanimous conclusion of that
body that ''the most practicabl and
feasible route for an isthmian canal,
under the control, management, and
ownership of the United States, is
that known as the Nicaragua route" "
The commission estimates the cost of
this route at 5000, $40, ,OO0 This esti-
mate is much in excess of any here
tofore made, and is due to increased
dimensions and other features not
heretofore considered. The commits
sion also estimates the cost of a
canal by the Panama route at $142,-
342 $40, according to one route, or
$156, BIS, 1858, according to another.
The commission concludes with q
careful comparison of the Nicaragua
and Panama routes. 1t shows that
distances between Atlantic and Pa
cific ports are shorter by the Nicara-
qua than the Panama route. This
is in part offset by the increased
time in getting through the Nicara-
qua canal The latter route is re-
ported to be more favorable for sail
ing vessels. The Nicaragua route is
also regarded as advantageous
tboT7Ch its davalODTueDf 0f the couY,
try through which it passes. 1t is
pointed out that the Panama conces-
sion, now held by the French COM
pany, prohibits cession of rights TO
any nation or foreign government.
The concession IS limited, SO that if
the United States acquired it there
would not be an absolute ownership
in perpetuity, as the concession pro-
vides that the canal shall pass to
Colon bia after ninety nine years.

GROWTH OF NORTH CAROLINA TOWNS

cities making the largest gains are
Asheville, 1O,236-14,694 Green's

THE NEW CENSUS AND CHANGES IN
POPULATION,

The Raleigh Post says: A cursory
examination of the census reports Of
the population of North Carolina for
1900, by counties, stated in The Post
yesterday, gives some very interest
ing results. Wake no longer leads
in population, for Mecklenburg has
outstripped her, leading with pop
ulation of 55, 268, while Wake is next
with 54,626. There are ten additional
counties with d population in excess
of 10000, as follows: BuncOmbe,
"A. 288; Robson, 4O,37t; Guilford,
80 .274 Forsyth, 35, ,261 Rockingham,
33,163; Johnston, 32,25O; Wayne,
81, ,356 Rowan, 81, ,O66; Pitt, 3O,889; ;
Halifax, 3O,793. In 1890 there
were only four counties with popu-
lation in excess of ,OO0-Wake,
Mecklenburg, Buncombe and Robe
son.
Wake is the thirteenth county in
actual increase in the decade, the
increase being 5,419. AS it is well
known the city of Raleigh and Raj

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-By decision Of
Judges Tuley, Dunno and Waterman,
of the Circuit Court to-day, Section
/, Of the anti trust law of Illinois,
which defines what constitutes a
trust or combination in restraint of
trade, is declared unconstitutional.
Other sectioes of the law, and es-
pecially those which compel corpo-
rations to file afidavits annually
with the Secretary of State that they
are in no way connected with trusts
or illegal combinations and provid-
ING for a fine of $50 in Case of refusal
to file such affidavit, are sustained
bv the court. The decision is re-
garded by the attorneys for the de-
fense as a distinct victory for the
CORPORATIONS, and is looked upon as
multiplying the anti trust laws OF the

providing that local, national and
international unions atIillutlng With

knowledge cards issued by federal
labor unions when presented by MEM
bers thereof and give them the same
support as given local unions. -
Other resolutions adopted pro-
vided for the demanding of the card

other freight handlers for organiza-
ton of blacksmiths and the placing
of such organizations in the front
rank Of trade unioniSm;" )" for the
organization of trunk and baggage
workers and for the organization of

A resolution was adopted directing
the secretary to instruct non-affihat- "
ing locals to affiliate with chartered
local central bodies and to insist that
local unions chartered direct by the
American Federation of Labor shall
aft late with the chartered central
bodies OF the American Federation
Of Labor before affiliating with any
other central body in name or pre-
tensions.
The docket of resolutions received
by the secretary to-day contained one
for the organization of textile work
ers in North Carolina and South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and
one for the organization of telephone
girls.
The report on the Presidents ad-
dress contained the following recon-
mendations:
Higher dues; appointment of or
ganizers; the chartering of local and
central bodies of colored people; in
favor of strikes where they repre-
sent the only means for redressing
grievances.
The report was unanimously
adopted. A resolution for the estab-

small, if indeed any increase will be
shown. Mecklenburg leads with an
increase of 1885, closely followed
by Guilford with 11,022. CASTOR
shows that wonderful increase of
10,139. The increase in the other
counties leading Wake is as follows:
Buncombe, 9,O22; Robeson, 1888;
Durham, 8,192; Rockingham, 1900 !;
Rowan, 6,943 Forsyth, 6,827; Ruth
erford, 6,331; Surry, 6,234; Union,
5,897.
Ten counties show an actual de-
crease, the largest being Chatham.
with a decrease of 1901. The fusion,
lists cut off portion of Chatham and
annexed it to Alamance, with per
haps 1000 population or more. The
next largest decrease is in Caswen,
even LOCO.
Other counties showing a decrease
are Camden, Currituck, Granville,
Northampton, Orange, Vance, War
rem and Yadkin.
An investigation of percentages of
increase in the different counties
shows but too plainly that North
Carolina ; hope for the future must
be in her manufacturing and busi-
ness enterprises. CASTOR leads with
an increase of 81 per cent; Durham
comes next with As per cent Ala
nance follows next with 40 per cent.
But if we deduct l 200 population as
! having been taken from Chatham,
her increase is % per cent, just the
same as Lincoln, CabarruS and Cleve-

more rapid growing counties is as
follows: GuilfOrd, 80 per cent; Ruth

average of the State.
The full statistics will not be at
hand for some considerable time to
come, but enough is known to make
it perfectly apparent that the only
portions of the State which show 81
substantial growth, outside of some
of the mountain counties, which are
being rapidly developed, are the
cities, towns, manufacturing villages
and the country adjacent to them.
