LEARY HEARD FROM.
Governor OF Guam Sends IN His Census
Report and Wants His Ice
Machine.

WASHINGTON. May 4,-Governor
Leary has sent to the navy depart
ment another of his characteristic Off
cial reports about Affairs In Guam, in
cluding the results of \ thorough CEN
sus taken under his direction, and Ii
nancial statements OF the first six
months OF his administration. which
shows a gratifying and growing sur
plus Of Mexican dollars in the island
treasury.
American money has not yet entered
into circulation in Guam. aud the fig
ures in the balance sheet represent the
silver currency left there by the Span
iards. The amount in the local treas
ury on July /, 1899. was S2.I7l, The re-
ceipts from January last. were Ss,il5

but the expenses will be propOrtionate-
ly reduced as many Of the improve
ments have been completed.
The governor reports that the evap-
Grating plant is in excellent condi-
tion, but he is still without an ice-ma-
chine. with the hot weather almost at
hand. The steam saw mill has been
erected and was rea ly for work. A
telep lone system has been installed
and was in successful operation be-
tween Agana, the capital, and Pitt,
the port.
The officers of the Yosemite were
still engaged on the typographical sur
vey of the island, which would have
been finished in a few months. In fact.
all was well at Guam and life would
be perfect with a refrigerating plant
and good library.
Governor Leary explains to The de-
partment that his request for library
did not contemplate circulating af-
fair Of fiction. He needs an encyclo-
pedia, a set Of revised statutes, some
law books and other reference works
indispensable to his Office. Some
books Of this sort were in the library
Of the Yosemite, but that ship was sew
en- miles from the capital over a shade
less road and it was exasperating to
make the trip whenever a question of
local administration arose.
The tabulated enumeration Of the
population Of Guam has been forward
ed by the secretary Of the navy to the
director Of the census, to be included
in the total of the United States. 1t
shows that Guam had population Of
1861 persons on January l, 1900. or
these 5,249 lived in the capital city of
Agana. In the district Of Agana are
five villages which, with their popula-
tions are: Amiga 146; Asan 255; Te-
hungan 200; sinahana 144 and Caro-
linas 30.
The five towns on the island outside
Of the district or Agana, with their to-
tails are: Agat IA; sumay 566; Morizo
491; Inarahan 51S. OF the total popula-
ton Of the island, 3,12S are males over
seven years old, $3.50 are females over
seven years, and 1853 are children un-
der seven years.
Governor Leary says nothing about
the state OF health on the island, but
from his acquisitions for medicines and
surgical supplies, the natives are evil

with an astonishing variety Of COM
plants.

Bryan's Speech of Acceptance.

The address delivered by Hon. W.
J. Bryan at Indianapolis this after
noon in accepting the democratic
presidential nomination was one OF
the most eloquent, logical and con-
vincing that has ever come from an
American statesman. Bowling to the
will of the national convention, Mr.
Bryan has recognized Imperialism as
the paramount issue in the national
campaign just opening, and the man
ner IN which he has handled the SUBJ
ject, setting forth the evils with which
the course the administration has
adopted abounds. will strengthen the
faith that the American people have in
hin. And it will prove added evidence
of his wonderful familiarity with
great national and international ques-
tions. 1t is the best speech Bryan
ever made.

Garfield on the Power of trusts.

II is almost 20 years since President
Garfield said: II am persuaded that
the next great question to be con-
fronted will be that of corporations
and their relation to the interests of
the people and to national life. The
fear is now entertained by many of
our best men that the national and
state legislatures. in creating these
vast corporations. have evoked a
spirit which may escape and defy con-
troll. and which may WELD power
greater than legislatures themselves. ="
And it looks indeed as If this proph-
osy was coming true. A small num-
her of moneyed men control about
everything in the commercial, indus
trial aud transportation business in
the country. Prices are advanced or
lowered, not to suit old-time laws of
supply and demand, but according to
the avsrice of those who own the
trusts

that he believed in that doctrine and
that the party platform declared for
