BERLIN, Jan. 2.-Considerable discussion
has been caused by the manner OF the
death of Lieutenant General Pochhammer.
who was killed yesterday by a street car.
There have been numerous fatal accidents
of a similar nature of late in Berlin and
establishment is expressed that the authori-

system of a. protective netting or fender.
The Klein Journal asserts that Gen. Poch-

UNITED STATES LEADS
ITS GROWTH IN THE PAST CENTURY
WITHOUT PARALLEL.
First in Commerce, Industry, Wealth,
Education, Morality and Happi-
ness of Its People.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2-W. E. Curtis, Wash
ington correspondent of the Record. says:
The new century opened with the most gor-
geous social pageant that was ever Wit
messed in Washington. The decorations at
the White House, the toilets of the ladies
and the Respondent uniforms CT the MEM
bers of the diplomatic corps and the army
and navy officers were never equaled under
this government, and the attendance was
larger than ever before. If the Populist
campaign orators could have been present
they would have been convinced of the
truth of the arguments they made against
Imperialism during the last campaign, and
to the more thoughtful it did represent
Imperialism of the highest degree-the i'm
perialism Of prosperity and contentment-a
gathering of representative men and women
from the nation that to-day stands first in
commerce. first in industry, first in wealth,
first in education, first in morality and
first in the happiness of its people The re-
ports of the census and the commercial
statisticians will show that the United
States to-day is in a condition of material
and moral advancement that has never
been reached by any other nation, and
that it enters the new century leading a
long procession of recent rivals that were
great and rich and powerful before it came
into existence.
Mr. Merriam, director of the census es-
Inmates that there will be not less than
4i0, 100000 people in the United States at
the end OF the present century. assuming
that the population will grow as rapidly In
the future as 1t has in the past 1t is
fact. however, well recognized among stat
isticians that as country obtains greater
density of population the increase is slower
than in those that are thinly settled. This
Is demonstrated in Belgium, England, Ger
many and other countries. England and
Germany, for example. have increased only
IL per cent. during the last ten years.
This Is largely due TO emigration.
In answer to Z. A. Crooks Mr. Merriam
has prepared some figures based upon the
present population of the United States
| and its outlying possessions, as follows:

Porto Rico $685. 43
