The population of Audubon county
as reported by the new census is 49,

makes gain of l,2l4 in ten years, or
nearly ten per cent. To be more ac-
curate it is little over nine and seventy
eight one hundreth percent. This is
not bad for county having no large
towns and depending practically alto
gether on farming and stock raising.

Quite ripple of excitement in Iowa
politics is caused by the announce
ment that because of the new census
the congressional districts of the state
will likely be rearranged. The State
Register last week put out plan of
redistricting which has caused lots of
comment. II is little early TO make
many plans about redistricting till it is
known whether Iowa will get an addi-
tional congressman or not. The ratio
of representation will be determined
by congress. If it is fixed at about
200, 900 so as not to increase the mem
bership of the house, we will not get
an additional member and will only
have to redistrict because of the in
CAPABILITIES that have grown up during
the past twenty years by some parts Of
the state growing faster than other
parts. If no new district is made it
may be set down now we presume that
no home county of congressman will
be put in another district. The Regis
ter's plan put Crawford county, Con-
ner's county, into the Ninth. That
will not likely be done. Unless another
congressman is obtained for the state
this county will remain in the Ninth.

One interesting thing that the new
census seems to be showing is that the
cities Of the country are not increasing
rapidly in population as expected. The
rush of our people to the towns seems
to be checked little. Country life
is being made immensely more pleas
ant the last few years and it is possible
that is the reason. The telephone and
the free rural mail delivery are giving
the farmers the best advantages of town
without some of the towns disadvan-
tages. The electric car lines are max
ing it possible for even those who
work in the great cities to practically
live in the country. The fostering
vice of the great cities is enough to
cause people to shun them if possible.

MINISTER G0NGER ALONE
RAISED AN OBJECTION

Paris, France, Oct. 1G.-A dispatch
received by the Haras Agency from
Tientsin. dated October 18th, says:
1.-THE British Ambassador, being in
formed from London of the basis of
negotiations proposed by M. Delcasse
French Minister of Foreign Affairs),
called a meeting of the diplomatic
corps in Pelzin. The French propo-
sitions were unanimously approved and
appreciation was expressed of frances
initiative. United States Minister
Conger alone raised an objection, not
against the propositions, but against
the method Of procedure. Mr.. Conger
deemed that the French propositions
would have to be imposed upon the
Chinese during the negotiations. While
these propositions are formulated as
being the basis of negotiation, different
ministers, among others the British
and Italian, presented certain demands,
specially the replacement of the Tsung
LII Yamen by Minister of Foreign
Affairs and the posting for two years
of the DEGREES concerning the punish
ment of the instigators of the anti
European movement. These demands
are approved by all ministers.
