A BIG DIRECTORY SCHEME.
A Proposition Being Discussed at the
Census Office.

1t is now proposed that a directory
shall be issued which will give the name.
address, and occupation Of every person
in the United States. as shown by the
Census Office returns This could not be
done without a special act Of Congress,
as all information relating to individuals
is presumed to be kept secret, but it is.
not anticipated that any objection could
he made to the publication of the names,
addresses, and occupation. Whether such
a scheme could be executed by private
parties would depend on the favor of Con-
gress. but it could be readily done by the
Census Bureau.
First a card catalogue of the names
would have to be prepared and arranged
in alphabetical order, and from that the
lists could be prepared by minor civil
divisions, counties. and States. To pre-
pare such directory would cost several
millions of dollars were it not for the
fact that so much of the preliminary work
has been done. The Census Office spent
millions in making the enumeration
which contains little more than the infor-
nation referred to- As it is now a pri-
vate firm could take hold of the data in
the Census Office and prepare such a di-
rectory and issue It at al estimated cost
of less than si"999,9olo.
Speaking of the mater Yesterday, Act
ing Director Wines said he though the
information would probably be regarded
as confidential and that Congress would
decline to permit it's publication Mr.
Wines said that before the census was
taken a card catalogue of all the business
firms I'm the United States had been pre-
pared and had been added to and cor
rected from the census returns. Until
now the office possessed what it Thought
was as complete a directory of an the
business firms in the country as could
be had.
1t is proposed in case the general di-
rectory scheme should be adopted to have
a supplementary directory of all the man
ufactuTing and business firms in the
United States with their Capitalization
and business done during the census wear.
published as an addition 70 the United
states directory. An advocate of the pub
lication of these directories either by the
Government or by private individuals
said yesterday:
1T can readily be seen that such df-
rectories would be OF great value 10 bust
ness houses and to political parties. but
they would be scarcely less valuable to
the individual citizens. Should full sets
OF these directories be placed in each
first, second and third class postoffice and
custom house in the United States they
would be consulted daily by thousands of
persons. Even the directories of the large
cities are rarely available in other cities
ana the searching for addresses is often
the cause of much delay and VexatiOn
To be sure, these sets would cost some
thing, but L believe they could be pre-
pared and published by the Government
for from SlGO to $3.50 per set. and I believe
thousands of sets and hundreds of thou
sands OF parts of sets would be Sold

THE SCHEDULE REARRANGED.
4 New Itinerary Mapped Out for the
North Atlantic Sauadron

The abandonment Of that part Of the

CulebTa Island belongs to the United

safe to say that he will not be able TO

bers of Congress and urged action on

Now that the agricultural appropria-
ton bill has passed the House and is

be made to have the amount given to
the Islands for an experimental station
advanced from $4,000 to $4,000. Even
this appropriation by the National Gov
eminent will not be sufficient to estab-
Hsh the station. 1t has been the course
followed by the Government to have
the Territory In which the station is
to be placed give the land and provide
the buildings for the station. This has
always been done, the money of the
Government going to maintain the sta
ton.
For this, reason there will be neces-
sary on the part of the Territory the
passage of bill which will give a site
and such buildings as may be needed
for the work. bill is being sent for
ward to the leaders of the parties in the
Legislature, which has the sanction of
the Department as being of scope to ac-
complish what Is needed in the premises.
This empowers the Governor to set aside
from the public land site for the sta
ton, and appropriates a sum. the figure
being set at SO, 0O0 as being about what
may be needed, which Is to be expended
under the control OF officials for~s-the
buildings and apparatus. Should this
be done there win stand in the way
