ChicagO's Population.

Chicago, May 22.-Chicago's city d.
rectory will present her population
for 1901 at approximately 2,074,000, or
about $4,000 greater than in 1900,
when the figures were 100000. The
figures for 1901 exceed those given by
the national census of last year near
~ 100000, and are universally con-
3ceded to be nearer correct.

Mr.. Powderly, of the bureau of i'm
migration, believes that every male
i,=migrating to this country should
be required to say if it is his purpose
to remain in the United States, and,
if it is, to make record of his name
and the fact, so that when he applies
for naturalization it can be seen if
he has been in this country the length
of time required for citizenship.

THE NEWS IN PITTSBURG.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 8.-The news
of the death of Christopher Lyman Ma
gee was probably a greater shock to the
masses Of Ptttsburg people than the loss
Of any other one man could have been.
Mr.. Magee's prominence in the city's
business and public affairs has brought
him into close touch with all classes. The
late editions of the afternoon papers told
of Mr.. Magee's serious condition, and the
way in which they were sought by the
people indicated the interest which the
latter had in Mr.. Magee. After his death
occurred newspaper extras were issued
telling of the sad event.
The death of a prominent man in a
large community like Pittsburg always
calls forth expressions of regret and sor-
row, and the good deeds of the dead are
remembered and his shortcomings spoken
of softly. With Christopher Lyman Ma
gee there seemed to be no shortcomings.
Every one could recall many good deeds
and kindly actions, and business men and
laborers alike seemed to vie with one an
other in boasting of association with him.
The lowered voce and respectful bearing
with which his name was invariably spok-
en- bore ample testimony to his place in
the hearts of Pittsburg people.

Republican Senatorial Conference
Decides Against Immediate Re-

Republican Senatorial Conference
Decides Against Immediate Re-
organization.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The Re-
publican Senatorial conference decided
not to recognize the committees at
this session. This means an early ad-
journment of the Senate, probably to-
morrow.
The conference was without exciting
incident, although many speeches were
made. Two resolutions were consider
ed and both were voted down. The
first was offered by Senator Mason and
provided for the immediate r~eorganiza-
ton of the committees.
Senator Foraker presented the sec
ond, and it provided for the appoint
ment of a committee to consider the
basis Of a reorganization to report at
the beginning of the session of Con-
gress commencing next December. The
majority against both propositions was
large. The effect of these two negative
votes is to defer all action on reorgan-
ization until the December session.
The speeches against organization
at this time were all based upon the
plea that it meant indefinite p%rolonga-
ton of the present special session. To
this argument the reply was made that
it was better to take the time for this
necessary work now when only one
is pending.
The new Senators said very little,
generally taking the position that they
were willing to be guided by the ex-
perienced Senate leaders.

AS will be seen from a local article

already published will be continued.

other work in this connection will be
carried on with the funds in hand as

So the likelihood is that so far as the

Wheeling is most closely interested,
the work will go on as If the river and

OF the AlIeged Threat Maae ~ \
United states Against DenAark-
WASHINGTON. March s.-An en-
phatic denial is given at the State De-
partment to the statement published in
a London newspaper to the effect that
the United States government has adj
dressed a note almost threatening in
tone" to the Danish government. de-
claring that it will not permit a trans
fer of the Danish West Indies to any
foreign power. 1t is said at the depart
ment that the United States govern
ment has not at any stage in the pres
ent negotiations relative to the trans
fer of the islands, nor at any time in
the past when similar negotiations
were afoot, threatened Denmark, or at
tempted in any way to bring pressure
to bear upon her, and the negotiations
always have been conducted in the
NEST amicable spirit on both sides. OF
course the Danish government is aware
that the Monroe doctrine is cherished
by the Department of State, but the
application of this doctrine to the
transfer of sovereignty by one Euro
pean nation of its holding in America
to another European nation always
has been allowed to remain a matter
of inference. Although the State De-
partment holds decided views on that
subject, fortunately the occasion has
never arisen for any such announce
ment of them as is reported to have
been made in the London publication.
The Danish government is perfectly
aware of the disposition of the State
Department to acquire the Danish
West Indies for the United States, and
it knows precisely the amount OF
money which the executive branch OF
the United States government is will
ing to pay for the islands, provided
the assent of Congress can be OBJ
tanned, for the consummation of the
sale would require not only the action
of the Senate upon a treaty, but the
action of the House as we'll, in a
matter of making the necessary appro-
priation of funds. The obstacles
which still exist, therefore, are located
entirely within Denmark, and when
the Danish cabinet can succeed in Sc
curing the approval of the Danish peo-
ple to the alienation of this territory,
and is willing to accept the price Of
tered. a treaty will be speedily ar
ranged for submission to Congress at
its next session.

THE RING ORGANS MORALS.

The Register is lead easy. 1t could have
been bribed. but no one thought it worth
while approaching it.-lntelligencer.
This gratuitous remark, coming
from the spleen of the ring organ, is
apropos only to the adage concerning
the proneness of one to judge all man
kind by his own standards. 1t holds
with exceptional strength in the case
Of the ring organ and its attitude re-
garding the neglect of the grand jury
to summon the proper witnesses to tes-
tify to the charges of bribery Of Coun-
cilmen in connection with the effort of
the discredited ring to retain it's grip
on the offices.
These bribery charges were specific
and direct. Competent witnesses were
right at the door of the grand jury
room, waiting, ready and anxious to
be summoned. But the jury closed its
eyes to these, merely calling some
newspapermen who were not con-
cerned and who had NJ personal
knowledge of the matter-refusing to
summon handy and competent wit
nesses whose names were in possession
of the jury, witnesses who had person
al knowledge and could have testified
to having been approached.
The Intelligencer's open jubilation
over this failure of the grand jury to
do it's duty under the charge of Judge
Hugus, its unconcealed delight at the
failure of the laws machinery to do
its work and its applause of the es-
cape of the guilty from justice, show
how high the ring organ stands in the
moral scale. 1t shows that no
are too dirty and dishonorable for it
to countenance in the interests of its
maSterS-the ring.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 8.-The
mystery. surrounding C. B. Rowland.
or Harrison, the alleged English Earl,
who died in the Allegheny general hos
pital OF typhoid fever yesterday, has
not yet been solved. The claim that
he was the Earl Of Wargrove" was
based on letters found among his eff
fects, in which he was addressed as
Cecil Sherbrooke Beaumont Rowland,
Earl of Wargrove. One letter. from
"Beresford, Gray & Seymour. of Lon
don, England, notified Rowland of the
death of his Uncle and his succession
to the title and estates. Rowland was
of engaging manners, handsome and
his conversation indicated the cultured
and travelled gentleman. He rarely re-
ferred to his past life, but upon one
occasion stated that he had spent three
large fortunes.
A. ]. Harrison, a brother of the dead
man, who came from New York to
claim the body, denied emphatically
that his brother was of noble birth,
but was silent as to the cause for the
difference in the names.
He admitted that the deceased had
earned several fortunes and lost them
again in speculation.
Arrangements have been made by
the brother for the interment of the
remains in Calvary cemetery this af-
ternoon. In the burial permit the
name is given as &C. B. Rowland or
Harrison" by reason Of the uncertainty
over the proper name. 1t stated that
the deceased was born in Brooklyn,

In the Philippines Disappointed That

Conserved.
MANILA, March S.-Disappointment
among American business men here
with the limitations of the Spooner
amendment to the army bill is in
creasing as its provisions become bet
ter known. 1t is considered TO be es-
p~ecially unfortunate in apparently
prohibiting the issuing of licenses for
the cutting of timber upon public
lands. If this Interpretation proves
correct, 1T will be a bonanza for the
few owners of private timber lands in
these islands and the beginning of
building activity in all towns will be
considerably retarded.
An inquiry has been cabled to
Washington asking whether this pro-
hibkion on timber cutting is to be
construed as included In the amend
ment. The forestry department of the
Philippines has hitherto issued licenses
for the cutting of timber upon public
lands for one year.
The question Of sales and appor-
tionments of land and mining rights.
although Importantly affecting the
growth of business and the settlement
of Americans in the Philippines, can
wait until the regular session of Con.
gress, but lumber is in such great de-
mand to-day for building purposes
that 1t would be considered most un.
fortunate should the control OF its pro.
duction be vested in those few men
who now own timber land.
There is some talk here Of sending
a petition to Washington for an extra
session of Congress, but the fear is
general, however, among a certain ele-
ment, that this action might not result
in any material good.
Regret is expressed here at the fact
that Congress does o entrust the
timber, mining and and questions I
the discretion of the representatives OF

ana position. however. and to utterly
refute its editorial argument we have
only to turn to its own local columns
of the same date, where we find the
Ease stated in these words:
DR.. Haskins was in the jury room but a
few minutes. When he came out he was
asked by the I~ntelligencer to state in ef-
feet what he had testified.
IT testified that several councilmen had
told me they had been approached with Of
fers of brides"
"Can you say who these gentlemen
were?" was asked.
They were John Ochsenkuhn, of the
First ward; Patrick Scalley. of the First
ward, and M. A.. Chew. of the Third
ward"
When it became known in the corridor
that DR.. Haskins had testified SO directly.
1t was the general belief that the three
councilmen he had named would be sum-
moned, but contrary to expectations the
grand jury dropped he matter.
In view Of this indisputable evil
dence from its own columns does 1t
not look as If the editorial utteranoes
of the organ were a deliberate, cold
blooded effort to shield the guilty
parties in this bribery business and
gloss over evidence of criminality?
This is very dirty work for the or
gan to be caught In, but in keeping
with its Pharisaical tone. A pretty
spectacle, indeed, does this self-con-
victed defender of bribery present pos
ing as it usually does as the main con-
servator of public morals!

THE ORGAN VS.. THE ORGAN.

TIL editorial columns of the Intelli-
gencer yesterday teemed with charac-
t~eristic abuse of the Register for its
statements regarding the duty of the
grand jury in connection with the al
legation. of bribery Of Councilmen.
Editorially the organ pooh-poohed the
charges of bribery and said:
1T is quite one thing to imagine an act
to have been performed and make charges
on mere runors and gossip. but 1t is quite
another thing to prove allegations of this
character. The testimony offered before
the grand Jury turned out to be mere
hearsay evidence, which does not stand in
law"
And the organ goes on to black
guard the Register and to dilate upon
me assumption that there was abso-
1utsN nothing in the charges brought
bstore the jury.
