Galveston, Tex, May 20.-Cloudy
weather nterfered somewhat with
tbc eclipse observations here. The
eclipse was attended by many at
mospheric phenomena.
Montgomery, Ala, May 29.-The
eclipse began here approximately at
$3.50, and was very near totally at
1885, central time. The cTeet wAs
SO near totality that the solar corona
was visible to the naked eye. Several
stars were seen. The daylight slowly
faded to nearly dusklike darkness,
and for few seconds an almost en-
tire silence prevailed. In n few Sec
onds it began to tighten again and
nature Resume her sway. There was
only very slight shadow band OBJ
served at the instant of greatest
darkness. The weather bureau thor
mometers registered decrease of
two degrees in temperature during
the greatest observation.
Columbus, Ga, May e0..-Columbus
had fairly good view of the eclipse
although the sky was partly cloudy.
The line of totality was but seven
miles above the city. All of the OBJ
servations made were of private
character Numbers of parties went
to the high hills surrounding he city
and the street cars took special par
ties to the parks. Schools aud courts
were an hour late in convening, and
general holiday was observed The
most distinct and impressive feature
of the phenomena was the withdraw
al of the heavy black shadow and the
instantaneous lighting up of objects
in its wake. Stars were visible in The
west. N# |
Norfolk, Va, May 29.-The eclipse
was seen here to the very best advant-
age. Totally began at S:52A and end
ed at 8:53:59. Observations taken by
scientists from Washington and New
England observers were most salts

denness that made spectators jump
and some women shrek. The planet
Mercury was plainly visible. Venus
could also be seen. During totality
there was bright ray of light seen
about the entire horizon. Lamps had
to be lighted in stores and fireworks
were sent up. The Negro population

Saturday was the twenty-third we'd

Horn and number of their neighbors
essayed to give them a surprise. Ac-
cordingly a large number assembled
at the Horn home about o'clock, and
after waiting some time for the host,
who failed to put in an appearance, a
committee was dispatched in search of
the missing man. He and Charley Nc
Kinney were found at the stock yards

zinc on the step to which the electrical
current was also attached. About 8
o'clock Mr.. Armour heard foot steps
stealthily approaching the house and
later heard the piercing scream of a

but a larger figure will have to be
selected If the membership of the
house is to be reduced, or even re-
tanned at it's present figure.
If the present basis should be used
the membership Of the house would ~
SO large that it would be almost i'm
possible to control it. On this basis
1t would amount to 430 members, or an
increase of 70. If 100000 is used as
the basis the membership would be
1913, or an increase of 16, but If 225,000
should be the basis agreed upon the
membership would be 1872, reduction
of 25 members. 1t is likely that
mean between the 100000 and the 1885,
900 will be agreed upon, and that the
house will remain at its present size.
Center Of Population Unchanged.
While it generally was supposed that
the center of population would move
westward, an examination of the fig
ures does not bear out this impression.
The population is more dense in the
northern Atlantic division than in any
part of the country, and while the
Western States have gained rapidly it
has not been enough to remove the
center of population from the north
central division. The population of
the national capital is more dense than
any other territorial division of the
country, being 4,20s to the square mile.
The population of Rhode Island is
next, so far as relates to density, being
1856 to the square mile, and Massachu-
sets is next in order.
Southern Apportionment.
The apportionment of representa-
ton in southern states based upon the
twelfth census will cause the most bit
ter partisan fights at the coming ses-
sion. The unduly large representation
in congress by the southern states will
be made the object of legislation. A
number of the southern states have
disfranchised the colored vote since
me las census, and altho the colored
population is not allowed to vote, the
congressional districts are based upon
the total white and black population.
This gives the white population in the
south greater power in congress and
in political conventions than that en-
joyed by the northern voters. The re-
apportionment bill wiul be drawn UP
by the census committees of the two
houses of congress. Representative
Hopkins, of Illinois, is chairman of the
house committee which has the impor-
tant work in charge.

Fatal Accident.

Creston, Nov. 3.--Another accident
occurred late Thursday afternoon on
the hill east of Alton, nearly at the
scene of the awful wreck some weeks
ago, whereby a man, supposed to be
one of the grade workers, was fatally
injured. The unfortunate victim was
struck by one of the No. so freight
trains at the above point, between Q
and o'clock, and thrown violently
from the track. The injured man was
taken to Alton in an unconscious con-
dition, where he afterwards died. An
effort to ascertain the name of the in
jured person was fruitless, but it is
known that he was employed with the
graders on the new line of the Bur-
lington east of Alton.

IoWA's POPULATION.
Reaches the Number of ,251,s2s-
Gives State New congressman.

nSdCncS the NUMBER OF Z,Eo1 ,SZS-
Gives State New congressman.
Washington, Oct. 30-The popula-
tion of Iowa has just been announced,
and it is 2,251,829.
The increase of 339,930 population
for the state of Iowa for the ten years
just passed will give the state two
new congressman, If the basis of rep
resentation remains about the same.
Should it be increased to 240,O0O as
has been suggested by some, then the
state will only receive one additional
congressman, making twelve alto
gether. The law as it stands today for
the apportionment of congressman for
the various states was based upon
173,901 for each congressman. States
are allowed for the major fraction one
additional member in some cases. Con-
gress is composed today of 357 mem
bers, and should the number remain
the same in the next congress elected
on changed representation, it is more
than probable that Iowa will receive
two additional members. The census
of 1895, taken by the state, indicated
three districts in the state having
more than 100000 population. They
were the Third, Tenth and Eleventh.
In the adjustment which will follow
the reapportionment of the state it is
more than probable that tue Tenth
and Eleventh districts instead of hav-
ing two members will have three from
the three districts made out of the two.
The Second and Third districts in 1895
had 100000 population and it is more
than likely that the population of the
two districts has increased sufficiently
to entitle 1t to another congressman.
1t is interesting to note in connec-
ton with the increased population of
Iowa this year that the governor was
called upon by the New York World
to estimate the census of Iowa for 1900
LIE first of last January. The COVER
nor made guess that looks almost as
if it might have been ,nspireu, 4or in
the Worlds Almanac" issued num-
Der of months ago, Iowa's population
is set down at 2,230,500 only a few
small thousand off the exact figure as
given out at the present date.

first census taken either state or ma
tional is as follows

Population of Iowa is 1925, 829-
Was 1o,531 in 1886 and 1.e11,se6 in
1890.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The total pop
ulation of the United tates in the year
of our Lord 1900 is 76.295,220.
This includes Hawaii, Alaska and
the various territories; the population
of the forty-five states is 74,627,907.
The latter figures are of the utmost
significance, as upon them will be
based the apportionment of represen-
tatives in congress.
These figures were given out yester-
day by the director of the twelfth cen
sus, w. R. Merriam, forming the most
important and most interesting bulle-
tin yet issued by the census bureau.
The total population of the country
in 1890 was 63,069,756. The gain in
ten years has been, therefore 1926
464. or 81 per cent. The increase be-
tween 1880 and 1890 was considerably
over 100000, the percentage of gain
being then 24.8.
