SHOW A HEALTHY GROWTH.
Eastern Towns Have No Reason to
BE Ashamed of Their Numer-
fcal Progress.

The rapid growth of the cities OF
New England and the Middle Atlantic
states is perhaps the most striking
revelation yet been made by the
twelfth decennial census. OF the 159
cities of the country having popula-
ton of more than $4,000, about SO
had made greater numerical gain
in the ten years just closed than in
the ten years preceding Since i
goes without saying, also, that about
the same number grew faster than
the ayerage-a2.5 per .cent.-it is in
teresting to ascertain from study OF
the bulletin where these cities are,
considered by sections. Such a study
affords an admirable test Of urban
growth and reveals in a striking man
ner the remarkable progress OF the
northwestern part of the country,
says the Boston Transcript.
OF the IL cities in the South At
lantic group Of states only three grew
faster than the average for the coun-
try These were Atlanta, Norfolk
and Jacksonville. In the south CEN
trail region only out of Is grew
faster than the average. In the west
ern group out of 10 grew faster
than the average. In the north CEN
tral group comprising the states
north of the Ohio, the old free states
with the addition of Missouri, 22 cities
out of AS made more than average
progress. With the country thus di-
vided into five great sections, none OF
the four so far mentioned shows a
group Of cities in which more than
half were growing faster than the
average. The remaining section IS the
North Atlantic; in it AZ out of 70 cities
have grown faster than 1925 per cent,
In Conecticut all five Of its cities OF
this grade made a showing above the
average and this can be said of no
other state in the union, except
Rhode Island, in which all three did
the same thing. In New Jersey z out
Of 10 cities were above the average;
in Pennsylvania there were II out of
IS; in Maine 1 out of /, Portland, and
in Massachusetts II out of 20.
It should be borne in mind that the
actual growth of the cities in the
north central region was faster. due
20 the presence of a few cities on the
great lakes, but the number of cities
to show this tendency was. as already
indicated. less than in the North NJ
lantic states.
The stagnant cities are found in
three regions, in eastern Nebraska.
northern Michigan and at the head
waters of the Hudson. Omaha. Lin
coin and Sioux City belong 70 the
first group; Saginaw and Bay City to
the second and Troy and Albany TO
the third. As a general rule the cities
have grown faster in the regions Of
coal beds OF Of well-utilized water
power.

OUR APOLOGY
To Mr.. Stanley for Not Greeting Him
as Belts aRelative of Royalty.

We may not have always greeted
Mr.. Ed. Stanley, the popular
painter, with that courtesy that is
his due. The writer recalls that
no later than yesterday he ad-
dressed Mr.. Stanley with the harsh
salutation of "hallo."
Sorry we are, but we do not hold
Mr.. Stanley altogether blameless.
He never intimated that he was
the relative of royalty. Had he
done SO no person would have been
more ready to Zip the lid" or raise
the hat in fitting respect.
Today Mr.. Stanley was sum-
moned to Kansas City to meet a
brother, William A. Stanley, Of
New York City, and his sister, The
Countess Liptensiein Of Hungary.

When Mr.. J. 0. Hall of this city
was reelected president of the Clare
more bank Thursday the congratula-
tions he was receiving were inter-
rupted by a messenger who delivered
telegram. The missive announced
that his aged mother was dying in her
far away Georgia home and that she
was praying for her sons presence.
Mr.. Hall was very much affected and
departed at once over the Valley road.

American Capital.

St. Paul, Aug. 6.-The Pioneer
Press says: Robert Barber, manager
of the Russo China bank, of Pekin,
representative of the Russia govern
ment and manager Of the Manchuria
railway, who is at present in st. Paul,
is said to be connected with a tremen-
dous scheme of railway construction
destined to unite Alaska and Siberia
and furnish rail and water connec-
tions between Circle City and Vladi-
vostock, the eastern terminus of the
trans Siberian railway. at cost Of
5000, 600, 000..
The enterprise, it is stated, has the
backing Of the Bank of France and
powerful money interests in the
United States. 1t is to be essentially
a French-American undertaking, for
which capital is already in sight
should it prove feasible.
The length of the proposed railroad
from Circle City to Behring sea will
bs about 1900 miles, and on the
coast of Siberia to Vladivostock is
1900 miles. If the concessions are
secured from the United States anc
the protection afforded the property
of the company is adequate the pri-
mary survey will commence shortly.
M. Barber, it is stated, is in the
United States for the purpose of OBJ.
tanning information as to the prob.
able attitude of the government to
wards the proposed line.

TRAIN WAS HELD UP.
Five Masked Men Stopped Passenger Near
Chieaso-FaiIed to Find Treasure.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The Baltimore
& Ohio passenger train from the
East. which was due to arrive at the
Grand Central station, Chicago, at 9
o'clock last night, was held up by
five masked men at 8 o'clock last
night, between Edgemore and Grand
Calumet Heights, Ind, 81 miles out
of Chicago. One of the mail cars,
which contained no money, was dy-
namited and wrecked. The attempt
at robbery was made after the two
mail cars had been detached from the
train and run quarter OF mile
ahead. The failure OF the robbers
to make rich haul was due to the
fact that the express car, which con-
tanned the trains treasure. was in an
unusual place. After wrecking the
mail car and obtaining no booty the
men disappeared in the darkness
without attempting to rectify their
mistake. The only loot they carried
away with them as result of their
adventure was the gold watch of the
engineer. The train was the New
York and Washington vestibule linn
tied. Most of the trainmen were shot
at and had narrow escapes from. bull
let's. No person was injured, either
by firearms or dynamite.

FILIPINO PROCLAMATION.
MaIvar Issues Warning to insurgents Who
Surrender.

Manila, Aug. miguel Malvar,
who has been recognized as the sue
cessor of Aguinaldo by the Filipino
junta at Hong Kong, has issued a
proclamation dated July 16, copies
of which arrived this morning, CIV
ing assurances to the natives of the
continuation of an active campaign
and expressing hope for its successful
issue. The proclamation, of which
$4,000 copies have been printed,
purports to emanate from Batangas.
It is Characteristic insurgent docu-
ment, charging the Americans with
all sorts of atrocities. 1t recounts
the losses of guns and ammunition
and the death of four distinguished
American officers July 10, all of
which, it says, the authorities con-
cealed. The proclamation threatens
General Cables with death for treach-
cry, and warns all Filipinos who'sur-
render that they will never be able to
live outside the American lines.
Malvar claims he has sufficient arms
and supplies to continue the fighting
indefinitely.
The American authorities believe
the proclamation was really written
by Agoncillo (the ex-representative Of
Aguinaldo in Europe) at Hong Kong.

SCORE WERE KILLED.
Six Philadelphia Buildings Wrecked by Explo.
sion-Fire Added to the Horror.

Philadelphia, Aug. IA terrific
explosion in block of six buildings
on Locust street near Tenth wrecked
five of the structures and caused the
death of probably 20 or more persons.
Over two score of others were more or
less seriously injured. 1t is estimat-
ed that at least IS persons were in the
five buildings when the explosion
occurred and the exact number of
dead will probably not be known for
"a hours.
The explosion occurred about $50
O'Clock. What exploded and how it
happened is not known, but it is be-
lieved to have been a barrel of gaso-
line in one of the three grocery stores.
With the explosion the front walls
of the buildings were blown outward
into the street, while the floors and
the roofs were blown upward and fell
straight to the ground. Almost every
building in a radius of two blocks
about the scene of the explosion had
window panes shattered and was
otherwise damaged. Every building
on the opposite side of Locust street
was more or less wrecked, but none
of them fell.

REWARD FOR LORD ROBERTS.
English House Of Lords Votes Him a Snug
Fortune for Work in South Africa.

London, Aug. Pin the house of
commons today, proposing resolu-
tion granting Field Marshal Lord
Roberts e1O0, 600 for his services in
South Africa, j. Balfour, the govern
ment leader, in the course of his eu-
-logy of the field marshal, said that
there was no doubt that but for Lord
Roberts daring and strategy, and the
rapidity with which his plans were
carried out, Kimberly and Mafeking
would have fallen, 1000 British
would have been starved into submis-
sion at Ladysmith, and there would
have been general rising of disloy-
alists in South Africa. The Liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, concurred in the motion.
John Dillon, Irish Nationalist,
strongly opposed the vote. He de-
clared Lord Roberts had shown the
greatest inhumanity in South Africa,
and SAID he had employed barbarous
methods and had proved himself a
dismal failure. Mr.. Labouchere,
Radical. and Mr.. Kier Hardy, Social
ist and Independent Labor, also
strongly opposed the measure. Swift
MacNeii, Irish Nationalist, said he
considered Lord Roberts operations
we're conducted with a maximum ol
cruelty and minimum of humanity,
and that his farewell speech at Cape
Town was horrible hypocrisy and
blasphemy. After further debate Mr.;
Balfour moved the closure, which wa.
carried. The resolution was adopted
by vote of 281 to Is.

GENERAL WOOD ON CUBA.
He Says the Americans Can Settle Up ant
Get Out Within Eight Months.

New York, Aug. General Leon
ard Wood, military governor of Cuba,
who is now on board the dispatch
boat Kenawha preparing for a cruise
along the coast of New England, said
today, in discussing Cuban affairs:
"Cuba is a totally undeveloped
island, and has great future before
it. Yellow fever, in another year,
will cease to be epidemic. We have
not had single case of yellow fever
in Havana this summer, and none in
Eastern Cuba for two years past.
Cuba's resources require time for de-
velopment. The last enormous sugar
crop was raised on 8 per cent of the
entire sugar producing lands Only
this small percentage is under eulti-
vation.,
"We have 81, 500, 900 in our reserve
fund, and can pay all our debts and
get out of Cuba within the next eight
months. We have established 5000
fourishing schools. Two years ago we
were obliged to provide about 100
orphan asylums to protect the desti-
tute. children. Since then we have
abolished go, and expect to be able to
close more before we retire from the
management of Cuban affairs. Our
health compares favorably with that
of the troops in this country, showing
that the island is healthy"

Cronberg, Aug. 6.-Empress Fred
erick died at 6 is p. m. yesterday.
The death was somewhat sudden. At
A o'clock her physicians reported no
change in her condition. Emperor
William and her majesty's other
children were in the sickroom most
of the day. Professors Renyers and
Spielhagen were also in her room.
The flag on the castle was immedi-
ately halfmasted.

accompanied by the empress and
Crown Prince Frederick William, he
proceeded to Freidrichoff, which he
reached at 5 20 o'clock.

William conducted the members of
the dowager empress household into
the death chamber and led them one
by one past the bedside to take last
farewell of their mistress.

STARVATION in ALASKA.
One Miner Is Dead and Two More Are at
Deaths Door,

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 7.
"A story of death from starvation
at the mouth of the Agiapuk river,
in the Agiapuk mining district was
brought from Nome today by passen-
gers on the steamer Centennial, and
as result of 43 days of unparalleled
hardship one man is dead and his two
companions cannot live.
The men had been in the Good
Hope country prospecting. June 7
they started for Nome by way of the
Agiapuk river. Travelling was hard
over the long stretches of tundra and
down streams filled with ice. Before
they reached Teller City their pro-
visions gave out and, after wandering
along, hunger compelled them to eat
grass, snails, birds eggs and anything
they could find, but they became so
weakened that further progress was
impossible. After reaching deserted
igloo at the mouth of the Agiapuk
river they decided to remain in the
hope that assistance would arrive in
the shape of a prospecting party.
Summoning courage, they attempted
to build boat, the frame being made
of willows, which they attempted to
cover with canvas taken from the
body of dead Eskimo. A party OF
miners, coming down the river heard
the cry, "Help, for God IS sake; don It
leave us. They proceeded to where
the cry came from and found the
unfortunates, one of whom was al
ready dead, and took them to Teller,
where the two are being cared for by
the government officials.

LOOKING FOR WAY OUT.
San Francisco Employers and Labor Leader.
Confer-Strike May Be Called Off.

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-Confer-
ences have been held today with a.
view of bringing the pending local
strikes to close. While no appre-
ciable result has been gained, Mayor
Phelan, who is laboring hard to bring
about an adjustment, expresses con-
idence that the controversy will end
within week. Labor leaders and
prominent merchants are alike hope
full that tomorrow at the latest will
see peace restored, and the striking
workmen will return to their former
employment.
Mayor Phelan has in his possession
letter from the City Front Fedora
tion asking for more light upon feat
ures of the terms OF peace upon which
the employers insist. This letter
will be laid before the Employers
Association and numerous confer
ences held. Whatever decision is
reached will not directly affect the
striking iron workers, who are not
included in the City Front Fedora
tion OF unions.
The new features of the day in
volyed Oriental labor. The japanese
Labor Union voluntarily called upon
Japanese employed on the water front
to stand in with the strikers, and
the Chinese crew of the steamer
Coptic was prohibited from working
ashore by the Federal authorities, in
pursuance of the exclusion act. In
response to protest by labor leaders
that the Chinese crew of the Coptic
was doing work ashore, Chief
Chinese inspector Dunn received
instructions from Assistant Secretary
Taylor and Commissioner Powderly
to order the crew back to the Coptic
and to prevent and further infrac-
tions of the law.
Eight or nine vessels were working
on the water front today, an increase
over yesterday. At the Pacific mail
dock the remainder Of the freight and
baggage was placed aboard the Coptic,
and she left on schedule time.

THIRD MAN NOT NAMED.
No News Given Out Regarding the sehlsy
Court of Inquiry.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Acting Sec
retary Hackett had expected to be
able to announce the name of the
third member of the schley court OF
inquiry today, but could not do so uE
to the time the department. closed.
Nevertheless, it is surmised that he
has heard from at least one of the rear
adm trails he has addressed on the sub
ject, and that he has communicated
the result to Secretary Long, and will
await his pleasure before making any
announcement. Secretary Long has
specially delegated the task of max
ing selection to Acting Secretary
Hackett, but as matter of courtesy.
it is probable that he will be made
acquainted with the choice before it
is made public.
