to the supreme court yesterday. In the
case of Charles S. Trott VS.. the Chi
,cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad,
from Muscatine county, altho the su-
preme court decided the ase at the
and the case was reversed in favor of
the company, yet the winner in the
case was before the court asking for a
rehearing. This arose over the fact
that while the victory was complete the
principles laid down We're not just what
the attorneys for the railroad company
desired. The case of John e. Spurrier
vs.. Alexander McLennon, an election
contest case from Iowa county was
also heard by the supreme court on a
motion for rellearing, advanced. The
office over which the controversy
arose is that of county clerk.
Some time ago the state auditor had
to call down" the proprietor of a
store in Perry, who had named his
place THE Savings Bank" The audi
tor decided that under the Iowa law
that might be a deception and make
the firm liable for infraction of the
banking laws of the state. Now he
has been informed that store at Storm
Lake has been named THE Savings
Bank" and the proprietor will likely
be asked to change it.
The wardens of the penitentiaries
and the members of the board of con-

There hangs in the Chicago & North
western depot at Ames, or in the lunch
room at the depot, reminder of the
fierce antagonism to the anarchists
which was manifest a few years ago in
this country. 1t is large picture
showing portraits of nearly all those
who were conspicuous at the trial of
the Haymarket bomb throwers in Chi
cago The picture is labeled. '"The
First Anarchistic Bomb Thrown in
America" which was May 4, 1886. The
trial lasted nearly two months. The
portraits include those of the presiding
Judge, the lawyers, detectives, and the
anarchist prisoners. The picture has
peculiar interest in view of the anarch-

positions were considered the exact po-
sitions. The impossibility of getting
the positions. even if we had correct
chart, is apparent. But 1t gave a gem
eral idea of the positions of the YES
sells during the different periods of the
battle"
Asked il it was true, as had been Of
ficially stated in the report, that the po-
sitions were assigned from known bear
ipgs. he replied that the statement was
Incorrect. They We're established by es-
timated bearings. Most OF the positions
We're, he said, fixed by discussions
among the navigators constituting the
board. He said that while the board had
done the best it could at the time, as a
board, it had not done the best 1t could
to satisfy any member OF the board.
Wainwright said in making the chart
all the members of the board We're at
liberty to contribute whatever data they
had or makt. whatever arguments they
might desire. He also said the chart
was compromise of opinions. Witness
said he did not see the Brooklyn on the
day of the battle off Santiago. Ques-
tions were rut by the court and an
swered as fellows:
Were the positions of the ships, as
shown on the chart IN question, OBJ

board, or from general discussion by
members of the board?"
Almost eiatirely by general discus
sion by members. Captains Chadwick
aud Cook appeared and discussed the
matter with the board
From the position OF the Gloucester

Neoro Losino Ground.


Washington, Oct. S-The count of the
population of the United States by race,
sex and nativity has been completed at
the census Office, and thus the most i'm
portant sociological data will soon be
Forthcoming. The greatest question has
been the relative growth of the colored
population. The alarm which the figures
of 1850 gave the country lest the negro
population should exceed the white will
be recalled. Final figures show that the
negro population at this time constitutes
about 11.58 per cent of our total popula-
ton. Ten years ago the figures on a
similar basis were 11.93. Some new ele-
ments of population have been counted
this time, but as whole it is fair to
conclude that the negro is slightless less
than holding his own. The earlier bull
letins by states indicated that the negro
was doing better than this. but the Vir-
ginia returns, which came in the last
alphabetical group, have greatly modi-
fed the final results. In that state the
negro growth has been surprisingly
small In fact, in only four southern
states is the proportion of negroes great
er than in 1890. These are Arkansas,
Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. In
many northern states the negro popula-
tion has relatively increased, but as 1t is
SO small part of the total 1t does not
greatly affect general results. The COM
pleted figures thus show that the negro
is losing his hold in the border state re-
gion, and is moving either to the cotton
fields of the gulf or to the great cities of
the north. The figures since 1880, show
ing the percentage the negroes have
constituted of our total population are
as follows: 1890, 1927 per cent; 1900,
1888; 1910. 1903; 1920. 1899; 1880. 1910;
1910. 1854; 1850. 1853; 1860, 14.1S; 1870,
1856; 1880. 1913: 1890. 11.9s: 1900, 11.5S.

CHARGED With Hiah Treason.

London, Oct. S.-Dr. Krluse, former
governor of Johannesburg, was ar
raigned in the extradition court today,
charged with high treason and incite-
ment to murder. The former charge is
connected with the surrender of Johan-
l.esburg, when, according to the prose-
ru.or, Kraus,a obtained from Lord Rob-
crts a twenty y-four hours armistice On
the plea that street fighting thereby
would be obNtiated, and utilized the pc
Rod in getting all Boer fighters out of
town and sending G1S0.0O0 to Pretoria.
After Krause was paroled he went to
Europe and applied to DR.. Leyds, agent
of the Transvaal, for money on account
of these services.

intensifies here. There was widespread
condemnation of the government for
allowing such freedom to the Macedon-
ian committee as to enable it to engi-
neer the outrage. Miss Stone resided
here before she went to Saloncia and
was well known throut the country.
Patriotic Rulgarians are incensed, as
they recognize Miss Stone and her col
leagues in the American missions in
Bulgaria and Macedonia have been
their best friends thruout their troubles.
There is no lack of indications that
Prince Ferdinand is imperiling his own
position by permitting such license to
the committee as to enable it to black
mail prominent people in support of
the Macedonian cause.

MORE IMMIGRANTS ARRIVE.
Percentage of llliteraey Among th,
Newcorners on the Increase.

l.
Newcomers on the Increase.
Washington. Oct. s.-The annual re-
port of Thomas Fitchil, commissioner
OF immigration at New York, shows
that the number of aliens arriving at
| the port of New York during the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1901, was 453,4e6.
From comparison OF the steerage im-
migration for, the last two years it is
shown that nearly 10000 of the increase
Of last year over the year before was In
the immigration from southern Italy
alone; but while this race shows the
largest numerical increase, others pre-
sent even greater relative gains. The
Ruthenian immigration has nearly dou-
bled; the Armenian and AHsyrian, as
well as the Greeks, show an Increase OF
labout so per cent. and the Croatian and
Dalmatian about 80 per cent. The re
port says that nearly one-half of the
steerage immigrants are illiterate, and
that our Immigration is constantly in
lscreasing in iliteracy.
The total humber of deportations for
the year, a decided decrease as COM
pared with last year, was 3,059.
AS means of protection against the
tice or anarchists says the report.
"the presence of our inspectors abroad
would be either futile or unnecessary.
These inspectors would not be depend
ent upon local police authorities for any
information tf this character. II no ef-
forts were made to secure such infor-
nation. their certificate as to the non
existence OF bad antecedents would be
worthless. IL they were to assume the
right to exact evidence of an unobjec-
tionable police record from him, why
not" is is asked make it at once re-
quisite for admission TO the country, or
make the absence of such record upon
arrival prim;l facie evidence of criml-
nality?
But even the above procedure would
not offer a complete solution of the diff
ficulty. 1t Is perfectly proper to adopt
any measures to prevent the coming Of
such people, provided the method is not
likely to degenerate into a mere annoy
ance to legitimate travel. In our own
case we need not establish any new pre-
cedent to enable us 10 accomplish this
object The precedent Is already estab-
lished In the amendment to the alien
contract labor law, which the courts
have construed to apply to all the ex-
cluded classes. There is no reason why
the same procedure should not be ex-
tended to cover all cases of undesirable
aliens, whether Of the excluded class or
not, and without limitation Of time, of
course, proper legal safeguard being
provided against abuse of this power"
The increase Of the head tax to 50 and
an extension Of the period of jurisdic-
ton over the immigrant from two to
| five wears is recommended,
