untoward ends than those VIZ work

Leper Colony.
Marine Hospital Surgeon Perry, quar-
antine officer for the Philippines. has for
warded to Washington an official report
on leprosy in the Philippines. He says:
'Leprosy is widely prevalent over the
entire archipelago but the greatest num-
Der of eases exists in southern Luzon and
the southern islands. 1t is quite preva
lent in Cebu. the number of lcpers being
estimated at 1000. The total number of
cases in the islands is estimated at 20.
600. but the actual number is not known,
and census is difficult on account of the
majority of cases being in the rural dis
tricts. The cases in Manila and sur
rounding country are isolated in sub
stantial hospital under the auspices OF
the Manila Board Of Health. There is
also a leper hospital at Ccbu. An at
tempt at segregation and isolation of the
lepers in the islands has been made by
the army officials, and several months
ago orders We're issued from headquar-
ters directing that hospital in each dis
trict he set aside for the isolation of the
lepers that could he apprehended, and
board OF army officers was detailed re-
Gently to investigate several islands for
the purpose of selecting suitable one
for leper colony. the intention being to
deport all cases of leprosy to this place
for segregation and isolation. -

CIVIL WAR IN RUSSIA.

Anarchy Is Threatened.

Students Shot Down at Cathedral and
Anarchy Is Threatened.
Unless prompt measures are taken by
the Russian authorities it is believed
that a revolution. beginning in st. Pc
tersburg, will spread like wild6re all
over Russia. The seditious element,
consisting Of university students, social
list demOgogues and the oppressed wage
earners, is massing its forces against
aristocracy and the Greek hierarchy and
even threatens the life of the Gar. The
plotters have already attempted the lives
of two ministers.
The worst of the riots that have been
of daily occurrence during the past fort
night took place Tuesday on the occasion
of a solemn mass in the Cathedral of
Our Lady of Kazan for the repose of the
soul of NJ. Bogoliepoff, the minister of
public instruction. who was shot and ia
tally wounded by Karpovich. The police
fred their revolvers anu it is said that
five students were killed and eighty
others either seriously or slightly injured.
Wholesale arrests, including many wom-
en-, followed the rioting.
The attack by the police was extreme
ly brutal. Women who made no demon
stration were treated in the most cruel
manner. Alarm pervades in high Rus
sian circles. The police have notified
house owners to have their dvorniks. or
house police, report for duty and hold
themselves in constant readiness.
A remarkable feature of the demon
strations has been the prominent part
taken by women Of the higher classes of
the university.

COST OF A BIG STRIKE.
Millions of Dollars Lost in Chicago in
One Years Time.

The tremendous cost of labor difficult
ties is clearly portrayed in the Chicago
building trades strike which is now tbir
teen months old. Reports from Chicago
are to the effect that in the conflict the
workmen lost in wages more than S5,OW.-
600: the building contractors lost over
SI.5OO.OOO in profits, and the material
supply men another S7.OO0,OOO through
material unsold. In addition, the retail
business Of the city has been at stand
still for the past year.
The strike was declared by the Build
ing Trades Council, which at that time
had 26, 800 members. Other labor unions
in the building trades, outside the coun-
ell, had membership Of over 10000 In
addition, there were over 5000 unorgan
lied men.
There was some trouble between the
Building Trades Council and the Build
ing Contractors Council. and, as neither
side was willing to yield. strike fol
lowed. The value of the building in pro-
gress at the time of the strike was So.
100000. In three months this shrInk
to $3,500000, and the amount of build
ing work planned. but stopped on account
of the strike, was $50.0OO,0OO. During
the progress of the strike five persons
have been killed and 221 assaulted and
more or less seriously injured. 1t is esti
mated that nearly $1,000 persons have
left Chicago for other cities as direct
result of the strike.

FACTS ABOUT
THE CENSUS.
Porto Rico has 95s.243 people.

Porto R1co mas S.S,Z4J people.
Guam has a population of S,5Gl.
There are A. States. six territories AMI
the District of Columbia.
The population of the 3 largest cities
combined would exceed that of the State
Of Pennsylvania.
Greater New York contains four-ffthS
as many people as composed the whole
republic in 1900.
In round numbers the population Of
the United States and its lately acquired
territory is S5,OOO.OO0.
No one State in the entire Union could
furnish population great enough to peo-
pie the largest cities.
There are 1S States, all the territories
all-which have a population of less than
1,OO0.OOO.
The following named States and terri
tories do not contain any city with
population of $1,000 or more: Arizona.
Idaho, Indian Territory. Mississippi,
Nevada, New Mexico. North Carolina.
North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota,
Vermont and Wyoming.
1t has been estimated by experts that
the population Of this country a century
hence will be at least 3OO,0OO.0O0 One
estimate puts the figure at AL .009. .206
The first estimate is that Of Robert Z.
Porter, the director of the census of 1890:
the last is that of the present census
office.
During the last century a total of
about 100000 people came from for
eign countries to make their homes in
the United States.
Little Rock had population in 1880
of 2,167. 1t is now over II -; times rs
large, having 3S.301 residents. Ii is the
only city in Arkansas having a popula-
ton of over 25.O00.
1t Is curious fact that, in State
that now has 1.2I0 159 more inhabit-
ants than in 1890. over third of the
counties should have shown Il material
decrease. Yet such is the ease in New
York State. Out of 81 counties 22 have
shown decreases aggregating something
over $4,000.
