Mrs. Bowsef happened to look out OF
4 back window the other afternoon
and was astonished to. see MIR. Bowser
il the alley along with a COW and two
or three strange men. The COW was
evidently the subject of conversation,
as Mr.. Bowser walked round and
round her and seemed to be sizing her
no. and she vas finally led into a stable
and the men disappeared. Half an
hour later MIR. Bowser entered the
house, and to her query of why he hap
pened to get home so early he re-
piled:
.sOh. business was rather slack, you
know. and so 1 thought I'd come home.

(ernilE's Greatllnerpss'
in Population.
Great Increase also in Com
merce and Shipping.
RESULTS OF RECENT CENSUS.

A Berlin despatch to New York gives the
result of the German Empires latest census
On that date its population was 56345,01
showing that in the five years since 1895 it
has been increased by 4,065,113.
This is the largest rate of increase shown
in any five-year period for thirty years. If
maintained, as it is likely to be, for the next
twenty years, the J ear 1920 will see Germany
with population of 5000 900, and by far
the strongest Of European nations in all
poinst of comparison except possibly as to
shipping and commerce. She already
numbers nearly one and half times as
many people as France, the only power in
Europe that has any idea Of attacking her.
Her mercantile ship tonnage is to-day twice
as large as that of France, second only to
that of Great Britain in Europe, and almost
equal to that o. the United States. The
value of her foreign commerce is much
larger than that of sny other country except
ing only the United Kingdom and this
country. -.
These figures enable us to understand
why in the fierce competitive struggle fol
the new markets of the Orient the British
merchants and manufacturers are goot
deal puzzled to decide whether they have
most to fear from the Yankees or the
Germans.

Better Outlook in The Philippines,
~ !li9a --
Importance of Recent Cable
News.


MThe importance of the news from Manila,
cabed to the Boletin yesterday can hardly be
overestimated. The fact that the American
authorities are continuing the introduction
of civil government throughout the principal
Islands of the Philippine Archipelago
indicates that its installation so far has
been complete success. 1t also Indicates,
without doubt, that not Only do the
authorities believe circumstances and con-
ditions warrant the extension of civil
government, but that the people OF the
Islands themselves are favorable to its
establishment and ready to assume Its
responsibilities.
At the present rate at which the Filipinos
are crowding in to submit themselves to
American protection, the number OF
hostiles" will soon beseme so diminished
as hardly to constitute factor OF much
consequence in dealing with the sufficiently
grave problems attending the establishment
of firm, stable, and satisfactory system of
Civil government in the Tsgal Archipelago.
Exactly when this can be fully accom-.
plished, it is impossible at present to safely
predict, but from all present indications its
consummation will not be long delayed.
The active leaders of the insurgents are
evidently completely disbeartened and
discouraged The fact, cabled yesterday,
that the Filipino General, Cail,es, has
threatened to punish with death all natives
swearing allegiance to the United States
shows the desperateness of his situation.
1t is the last wild act Of man who sees
his cause is lost.

Steamers Seized at Manila.
Accused Of Trading with
Insurgents
Other News from the Philippines.

Associated Press dispatches from Manila
state that it is reported that, steamers
"Oriente" and "Carmen," plying on the
PaSig River and Laguna de Bay, have been
seized, it being alleged that they were trading
with insurgents. COntraband articles were
found aboard the steamers.
The Orente had been seized previously
but had been released, the evidence against
her not being sufficient to Justify her being
held This time, however, the evidence of
legal trading is stronger.
The authorities are determined to stop
smuggling on Laguna de Bay, and other
arrests may follow.
Col. Murray, of the Forty-third United
States Volunteer Infantry, has received the
surrender of forty -four insurgent officers and
men at the port of TaclobaD, on Leyte
Island.
Capt Gulick, of the Forty seventh United
States Volunteer Infantry, has received the
surrender of forty insurgent officers and two
hundred men.
The gunboar Albay, acting in cooper
alton with Lieut. Van Veornes, of the
Twentieth Infantry, surprised an inSurgent
camp near Barnan, in the province of South
IlOcos, Luzon, killing five OF the enemy and
capturing their supplies.
The Western part of Batangss Province,
Luzon, formerly ar insurgent stronghold is
becoming pacifed. The leaders of tie
insurrectiOn are taking the oath of allegiance
and many rifles are being surrendered.
