Washington. March 16.--The census
office has received thru the state de-
partlnent consular report on the pop
ulation of the German empire and its
changes during the last century. That
population Is now about 56.000.000. larger
than that of any country in Europe ex-
gcept Russia. which has III Europe alone
over 106,0O0.000 subjects.
In 1889 the whole German empire had
population of about 26,000,Q00 and at
the close OF the Napoleonic wars III 1915
Germany, tho somewhat reduced in SIZE,
had population of something more
than 30. 600. 600. In 1S45, since which date
the area has remained almost constant,
Germany had 34000,000; in 1865. 100000 =
4 (O0; in 1885, Al. 900, 900. and in 1880 about
55 80, 900. an Increase during the century
of about 10000, 600.
Since 1871 when the modern German
empire was organized, the population of
Germany has increased about 35 per
cent, a growth extremely rapid for an
cid country and for one sending out
large and steady streams OF emigrants.
The Germans feel a natural pride in the
rapid growth of their population, says
sthe report compared with that of their
rival across the Rhine. In 1s45 France
Rad about 36.00O,000 inhabitants and
Germany 34,0OO,0O0. Now France has
about 3s, O00. 900. or only two-thirds the
number of Germany

NEW FOOTBALL RULES,

The following new foot ball rules
and changes are noted for the sea-
son of 1901:
The most important change this
year, is one relative to the fair atch.
An official now judges whether or
not full back has an opportunity
to make fair catch, and not wheth-
er he merely attempts it in a wild
manner. The old rule was made to
protect the full-backs from oncom-
ing ends, and read that man must
announce his intentions. This has
been gradually discarded until now
the player goes after his fair catch
in anticipation of being protected.
If the ball is in the air and the
player near enough he will natur-
ally be given the right of way. If,
however, the official does not an
nounce it, an end is perfectly justi-
fable in blocking him away from
the ball even before it alights, to let
map on side come up the field and
fall on it.
In rule 4of the official guide fur
ther definition of safety is given.
1t provides for the case in which a
full-back punts from behind his
own goal line. Ordinarily, follow
ing the old rule which. gives the
ball to the opponents where it goes
out of bounds, this would be touch
down where now it is brought in.
In case the full kicks out now and
the ball crosses his side line back
of his goal line the referee will here
blow his whistle and announce a
safety. The ball will then go back
into play the usual way.
Another rule defines ahead of the
ball as being ahead of that point of
the pigskin nearest the goal line of
the side not defending. If team
refuses to play after two minutes
are up the referee will give the op-
posing side tve yards. Pulling or
hauling an opponent in the rush
line is now regarded as delay of the
game and the umpire may announce
it as such.
A player putting the ball in play
from out of bounds, must touch #
inside and kick it ten yards, no
snecia1 direction heinr r,,or+;ora1
The rules now require the referee
to signal with his hand when the
full ball is on the ground to try at
goal. = Z. :..:.: 1T. = f. j.-

Pacific Gpa$t Iron.
Capt. Harry Roberts and W.
T. Bailey Return From a
Tour Of Inspection
OF WASHINGTON ORE FIELDS.

Capt. Harry Roberts and w. T
Bailey, who have been out on the
Pacific coast for the past couple Of
weeks, are credited here with hav.
ing in view the acquiring of exten.
sive iron ore lands in the state Of
Washington.
It has been quietly rumored for
several months that Capt. Roberts
was Investigating the iron ore pros.
poets in the state of Washington,
and now it is learned that prelimi-
nary reports of the character of the
ore deposits which have been dis
covered, have been confirmed. Capt.
Roberts has had competent and
trusty men Investigating the mat
ter for two or three months, and it
was upon the strength of their ire
ports that he and Mr.. Bailey went
thither.
1t is learned from a reliab able source
that the ore which Capt. Roberts
has been testing has assayed in the
neighborhood of 6S to 90 iron and is
low in phosphorus, with no show
ing of titanium. While nothing
definite is known here concerning
the plans of Capt. Roberts and as
sociates, it is intimated by pers ons
close to these gentlemen that they
will probably acquire Pacific coast
ore lands wherever they may be
found showing up satisfactory re-
suits and not located too far from
transportation facilities. It is said
that good coking coal is found in
the same district with the iron ore
and that great possibilities some
day await the development of the
products for Pacific coast manufac-
turing purposes. At present the
lands which Capt. Roberts and his
associates have in view, or have ac-
quired, may be reached by con-
structing few miles of railroad to
deliver the product to deep water.
1t is understood that San Francisco
at present furnishes the principal
market for iron ore, but that there
is every prospect of a great devel-
opment of the industry at many
coast towns in the near future.
"The attention which Capt Rob
erts and others are giving to distant
ore lands is strongly suggestive
that they believe the Minnesota iron
ranges have been pretty thorough
ly explored" said an iron ore man
yesterday. That is, it would seem
as if they had concluded that all of
the available uncxplored land like
ly to contain iron was now beyond
the reach Of the explorer and pre-
liminary developer Capt. Roberts
is born iron ore pioneer. He has
made much money in Minnesota
and have no doubt he will do we'll
in his Pacific coast ventures" ."-Du-

Killed by mistake.
Axe1 Ahlstrand Shoots John
Peterson, Near Buh1,
Friday.
MISTOOK HIM FOR A DEER.

The annual season of accidental
killings has arrived, and was form
ally opened in this section on Fri
day afternoon last, by the shooting
of John Peterson by Axel Ahlstrand
at a point some three miles west of
Buhl, through the not uncommon
error of being mistaken for a deer
Ahlstrand is young man who
has grown up in this city, being a
son of Mrs. III. F. Ahlstrand. He is
known as a young man of good
character, lover of outdoor sports
and an excellent rifle shot. Some
two weeks ago he went west of Buhl
with test-pit crew, and on the af-
ternoon of the tragedy, being out of
meat at camp, took his rifle and re-
paired to clearing a short distance
from camp to watch for deer, which
are plentiful in that section. AS
he struck the clearing he stopped
for moment to look about when
his eye detected a movement in a
clump of bushes some two hundred
and fifty yards distant, and the sight
of what upon close inspection he
mistook for deer's head, and fired.
As he approached the scene of his
supposed trophy he was horri6ed
to find the lifeless body of a man,
with his head blown to atoms, in
stead, and promptly returned to his
companions and gave the alarm.
The dead man was found to be John
Peterson. member of another crew
working near by, who had also evi-
IDENTIFY been in quest of game, as he
sat in an improvised thicket with
his rifle upon his knee. He had on
a corduroy collared canvas coatand
canvas cap, which to great degree
offers excuse for the terrible error
which resulted in his death. =:

gave himself up, but at his hearinqs
on Wednesday was discharged from
custody, the act being shown as
purely accidental.
Johnson was single man, about
forty years of age, and is known to
many, having worked at various
range points for several years past.
