Washington Jan. CspeciaD.-whie the State OF
Aew-York whole shows the largest aggregate
gain in population OF any State in the Union. ac-
cOrdng TO the returns of the present census. some
uneasiness is manifested in certain quarters be-
cause OF the continued decline in population of so
many OF the interior counties 81 the State. When
in 1880 similar declines disclosed in twenty
two counties the marked increase in the number
which had retrosraded since the enumeration of
1850 was cheerily ascribed 20 the agricultural and
business depression throughout the rural districts
But notwithstanding the improved business cond-
ton OF the country. the Of 1900 shows that
there has been reduction in retrcgrading
counties. for exactly the number twenty-five,
again show decline in population. IL is be
noted, however, that the roster OF counties which
have retrograded in population since 1890 includes
several new names. while several which showed
considerable decreases 1890 nave reversed their
direction. and show gratifying gains as for
instance, Dutchess. Ontario, St Lawrence, Suli-
van snd others in lesser degree. Meantime their
places filed by counties which have heretofore
shown steady gains, notably Columbia. Cortland
Orleans. Rensselaer, and Wyoming.
The present census shows decreases in AlIegany
chenanso. Cortland. Columbia, Essex Greene,
Lewis. Livingston. Madison Oswego, Orleans
otsego, Putnam Rensselaer,, Schoharfs, Schuyler
Seneca, Tioga, Washington, Wayne, Wyoming and
Yates There are sxty-one counties In the State,
so that more than one-thrd of the whole show de-
ereases However, the aggregate decrease In these
twenty-five counties is only 1886 as against the
aggregate decrease I'm twenty-five counties, shown
by the enumeration of 1890 of $50, or a net re-
