HOLDING HIS OWN.
Result of Census Office Statistics In
Regard to the Negro.

Such statistics Of population under the
subdivisions of sex, nativity and color as
have been made by the census Office indi-
cate that the negro is numerically holding
his own in this country, that is, the negro
population is increasing about as rapidly
as is the white population, except as to
the additions made by immigration.
The proportion Of negroes in the country
Is decreasing. but this is because of the
large influx Of white immigrants. From
the figures at hand, 1t seems probable that
the negro population of the United States
In 1900 was between 100000 and 9,O50,OOO.
The ratio that the negro bears to the to-
tai In the states already counted, If ap-
piled to the whole country, would give
9,O25, ,OOO excluding Indian territory, where
perhaps there are 1900 more. If that
innate be admitted valid. 1t will make
the negro constitute 11.S per cent of the
total population Of the country, as against
119 a decade ago. the loss being due to
the greater growth Of the northern states,
and not to any less proportion Of negroes
in the south.
Those estimates that have thus far been
made have not had the advantage of in
formation from border states, both in the
ncrth and in the south, in which it Is we'll
known there has been an enormous in
crease in the colored population during the
last year.

READING SHOP HANDS STRIKE.
Conflicting Statements as to the Ex-

Conflicting Statements to the Ex-
tent of the Tie-Up.
READING, Pa, July 11.-At the head
Philadelphia and Reading railroad 1t was
claimed today that the men are solidly in
line, that the freight business Is crippled,
that the car shops working with
limited force and that the boiler-making
and blacksmith departments are entirely
idle.
This statement Is contradicted by an off,
cial of the railroad company. who made
the following statement:
"An freight Is being handled promptly
through the Reading yards. The new men
are doing well and the freight station was
in better shape today. During the night
the work went along smoothly. During June
the Reading company handled on the Read
ing division more cars than 1t did for the
same month during the previous year.
1.-The freight yards of the Reading COM
pany in this city are In satisfactory con-
dition. All of the cars sent here are being
handled promptly. At the freight house
more men have applied for work than the
"At the Philadelphia and Reading store
house sufficient men have been secured to
enable the company to resume the ship
ment OF material, etc. A number of men
have been employed in that department.
Repair work at the shops Is progress
ing as rapidly as the circumstances will
permit and with the force Of nearly 300
men engaged in that line Of work much Is
being accomplished"

DEATH LIST is SWELLING
VICTIMS OF c. AND A. WRECK NOW
NUMBER TWENTY.
Probable That Three Others Will Die
of Their Injuries-Passengers
Lose Their Baggage.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 1.-THE death
list resulting from the Chicago and Alton
collision near Norton, Mo-, grows with
each hour. At this time twenty persons
have died, and the hospital physicians state
that others who inhaled steam from the
wrecked locomotives may not recover. The
dead:
Daniel McAnna, Slater, Mo-, conductor Of
freight train.
S. ]. Anderson, Slater. Mo-, engineer Of
freight train.
Frank Briggs engineer of passenger
train.
l. s. Rogers, Chicago, United States Ex-
press Company messenger.
Daniel Donnelly, Mexico. Mo, fireman OF
freight train.

G. L. Roy, Wilmington, Ill, bank cashier.

old. sandy mustache, light gray eyes, light

hands and face scalded artery in left arm
broken.
Leslie F. Coleburn. Pawpaw, Mich; arms
burned; face and legs scalded.
These three are at St. Josephs Hospital.

injured are:
E. c. Bray, Chicago, shoe dealer, en- route
to Denver; neck sprained, head cut and in
ternal injuries.
Miss Lottie Stills Of Hornelsville, N. Y,
and Mrs. c. w. Snyder of Jasper ILL.,. are
said at the hospitals to be in precarious
state.
No additional bodies have been found
under the debris, and it Is now believed
the list has been completed.
Every effort Is being made to establish
the identity of the five unknown dead. Two
have been partially recognized. The third
is woman about sixty years old. The
fourth and fifth are men, each about forty
years of age.
Not all of the other twenty-four patients
in Kansas City hospitals are out of danger.
Indeed, all of those scalded about the head
are probably injured internally by inhala-
ton of steam, and the physicians and hos
pital attendants say that many of the cases
are serious.

Public by the Department.


Public by the Department.
The naval bureau of construction made
public today its monthly progress report,
showing the degree Of completion of the
vessels building at shipyards throughout
the country. Generally speaking, the re-
port shows a marked letdown in the work

ship Ohio, the protected cruiser Tacoma.
the torpedo boat destroyer Paul Jones and
the submarine torpedo boats Grampus and
Pike, all building at the Union works.

ton, Whipple and Worden, at the Maryland
Steel Company, also remained at a stand
still.

vanced per cent during the month, and
now stands at SO per cent. The Missouri

The Colorado is the only one Of the six
armored cruisers upon which any apprecia-
construction having been completed July l.

cent, respectively, and the Denver from
A per cent to 40 per cent. The ST. Louis,

tracted for, still stand at zero.

tors Arkansas, Nevada and Florida the

spectively.
OF the torpedo boat destroyers ten Of the
sixteen now building stand above so per
cent completed The Stewart is the farth-
est from completion, standing at 81 per
cent. Seven Of the ten torpedo boats are
also practically completed. The Tingey
stands at the lowest mark, IS per cent,
and remained at it all during last month.
The work on the new submarine torpedo
boats progresses rapidly. with the two ex-
ceptions noted. The Adder advanced 10
points, the Moccasin Z, and the Shark, Por-
poise and Plunger points each.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 1.-THE old DEM
ocratic guard is once more in control of
the party affairs in this state. The ebuli-
tienists that came in with the new depart
ure of 1896 were not present in yesterdays
convention. The high character Of the del
egates was subject of general remark.
better class of delegates has not been
seen In any state convention of any party
here in many years. There was an entire
absence OF the ward politician class. Re-
publicans recognize the fact that the work
of the convention was such as to mean
danger for them all along the. line.
The democrats say that there was posi-
lively no mistake made anywhere and that
unusual wisdom for a large, unwieldy con-
vention was shown alike in the making of
a platform and the selection of candidates.
Unless the republicans can stir up the old
radical free silver democrats to hostility
to the ticket it is claimed that they will
hardly be able to make any great amount
of capital out of the platform. And, SO far
as is known, the candidates are excellent.
Regarding the turning down of Bryan and
the manner of doing it the radical free
silver democrats may be doing some think
Ing, but no one of them is talking against
the platform. They will probably support
the ticket. The gold democrats will, Of
course, De in line for 1t to man.
The McLean-kilbourne combination
seemed to give their entire attention to the
preparation and adoption Of conservative
platform. This left the Tom Johnson
managers free to make up the ticket below
the office of lieutenant governor. Charles
P. Salem practically dictated the minor
nominations, but bestowed them with great
discretion both as to geographic distribu-
tion and the character of the nominees.
In the taxation planks of the platform
Salen says Mr.. Johnson secured all he was
really anxious about Friends of Kilbourne
and Mclean are pointing proudly to this
plank one of the most important in the
platform.
The fact is that the appraisement Of rail-
road property here has been done in a
scandalous manner for years. The ap-
praisements are made by boards of audi
tors of the counties through which the
roads run. The auditors travel to the place
of meeting on passes and when they meet
are the guests Of the railroads. Frequent
ly unkets are taken, and all the auditors
carry annual passes. The auditors are
very mellow toward the railroad companies
under these circumstances and the tax
valuations have been beaten down until
the companies do not bear more than a
fifth Of their proper share of the burden of
taxation. On the whole 1t is generally be-
lieved by the best politicians here that the
work of the convention has made what
was a dangerous outlook for the republic
cans much more so.
