port ON the Population by Sex, Gen.
eral Nativity and Color.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox made a verbal report to the
president and cabinet Friday regard
ing the result of his investigations into
the Pacific cable question. His conclu-
sion was that under the law of 1866 any
domestic company could land any cable
on the shores of the United States or
of it's posse ssions. The president and
cabinet were convinced by the verbal
renort that no executive action is called
for at this time.
Presidents Policy Endorsed.
Five members of the cabinet, Secre-
tary Long, Secretary Hitchcock, Secre-
tary Wilson, Attorney General Anox
and Postmaster General Smith, were
present at Fridays meeting, which was
devoted largely to the consideration OF
appointments under the various de-
partments. The question of southern
appointments generally again came
up and the president reiterated MS
policy of appointing republicans II
suitable applicants could be found and
if not of appointing gold democrats. his
policy in this respect meets the approx
al of the cabinet. The appointment OF
DR.. Clayton to the co!lectorship OF
internal revenue in South Carolina was
considered in this connection.

Splendid Discipline.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The war de-

report of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commanding the department of Cuba,
for the last fiscal year. A preceding
report treated of the civil admins
tration of the islands. This report
deals with military affairs entirely.
Gen. Wood says the general conduct
of the American troops in Cuba con-
tinues to be excellent and, as here
tofore, complaints against them from
civil auth orities and individuals are
extremely rare. The total number
of deaths of officers and enlisted men
during the year was 81, percentage
of less than 1.25. Yellow fever has
now been almost driven from the is

Abstract from the Annual Report OF
Rear Admiral Crowninshield.
Washington, Oct. 12.-1n his annual
report to the secretary of the navy
Rear Admiral Crowninshield, chief OF
the navigation bureau, speaks OF the
reduction made during the past year
in the strength of the Asiatic t1eet'
which was drawn upon to furnish
two vessels to reestablish the Euro
pean station and will be further d.
minished in order to permit OF the
commissioning of at least two tram
ing ships and an increase of the
North Atlantic squadron by two gun
boats and of the Pacific squadron by
possibly one. 1t is particularly de-
sirable to have some small ships for
gulf service on the Atlantic side. 1t
is said that the operations on the
Asiatic station were marked by uni
form success and that the conduct OF
our sailors and marines in China in
the main was all that could be asked
for.
Sailors were enlisted during the
year to the number of 9,896, making
the total men in service 1925. From
this number there were 1888 deser-
tons.

In Argentine there is grass known
as "paja voladora," or flying grass,
which appears to be a great nuisance.
1t is reported that the Great South
ern Railway during the time the
grass exists, finds it almost impossi-
BILE to keep it's tracks clear from it,
and that it interferes greatly with
traffic, for the reason that it piles up
in such quantities that at times it is
difficult to force trains through it.
It causes hot boxes and even derail.

danger of taking fire.

One Of the directors of the Norwe-
gian fisheries has been erdeavoring to
discover the height salmon will leap
when clearing waterfall which OBJ
structs its passage upstream. Masts
were placed below the fall to insure
accurate measurements. 1t is stated
that a fish can leap to the height of
twenty feet. When a fish failed to
clear the fall at one bound it remain
ed in the falling water, and then. with
a rapid twist of the body, gave a
spring and was successful.
