THE EAST GAINS.
Causes OF Changes In Population During
A. Decade.

Decauc-
In summing up the results OF the
last census DR.. Albert Shaw says in
the Review Of Reviews: "The period
from 1870 to 1880 was marked by the
great development in population of the
rich wheat and corn lands that were
still open TO settlement under the
Homestead and Presumption laws in
Minnesota, Iowa, Western Missouri and
contiguous regions. In the period from
1880 to 1890 there was rush still
further west into the Dakotas,, Mon
tana, the Puget Sound country, west
ern Nebraska and Kansas, Colorado
and southern California. The period
just ended, from 1890 to 1900, has been
especially marked by the growth of
manufacturing population in the older
states. Thus New jerseys gain OF
80 per cent has been principally due to
the growth OF manufacturing towns
and of the Jersey suburbs OF New
York city New Y.rk's gain of more
than 20 per cent is accounted for large
ly BY the growth Of the great metropo-
liz at the eastern end OF the state, and
Of Buffalo and its commercial and in
dustrial environs at .he western end.
Northern New England has gained
very little, and would have lost decid
eddy but for the immigration Of French
Canadians and others. Massachusetts,
has gained about 25 per cent, which is
evidence enough that her manufactur-
ing prosperity is not a thing of the
past. The gain of little Rhode Island
In ten years has amounted to twice
the population of the state Of Nevada.
Connecticut has now 90s,000 people,
and has gained 1000 in ten years
This growth, like that OF Rhode Island
and Massachusetts,, is due to manufac-
turing progress. There would seem no
reason In the nature of things why lit
tie Delaware should not have more
people than lctle Rhode Island; yet
Delaware has not quite 1876, 600, while
Rhode Island has more than 5000
Manufacturers make the difference"

far more frequent occasions than are

workers in the mines were slaves.
There were practically no schools.
There was no right of suffrage and
the only voice the people had in the
affairs of the nation was through in
cipient revolution. Elections to par
lament were matter of barter among
a few free-holders.
Educational, industrial and political
conditions in the kingdom now are
We'll known, and they show wonderful
reform in sixty-three years. 1t may
be said that the queen had little to do
with bringing about these changes -
that in Initiating reforms her efforts
were almost nil. But she never checked
or defeated progress and many times,
when bills for suffrage extension or
for the abolition OF abuses have been
opposed by the house OF lords, her in
iluence, exerted through the premier
or a trusted counselor, has cleared the
way for the enactment OF the needed
legislation.
Victoria's long reign and long life
enabled her TO see monarchs OF other
lands come and go, governments rise
and fall. dynasties appear and disap-

THE UNITED MINE WORKERS.
Fixing Up Their Fences All Along
the Line-Have Many Problems
to Contend With.

indianapolis. April 12.-The United Mine
Workers National Executive Board is
engaged in an exhaustive canvass of all
the districts in the organization. The
conclusions of the conference will deter
mine what districts are to receive the
special attention of the national organiz-
ers and what financial assistance from
naGOnal headquarters these districts shall
receive. Unquestionably, West Virginia
will be favored. Its unorganized condi-
ton for years has been a constant mem
ace to the success of the entire organiza-
ton. For several years the Indiana and
Illinois operators have complained of the
competition of non-union Kentucky min
ers and vigorous measures will be taken
to bring the present strike in that stale
to hasty and successful close.
The southwestern strike in Arkansas
and the Indian territory is one of the
most obstinate situations that the board
has to handle. For two years the mem
bers of the United Mine Workers in that
district Rave been on strike and the or
ganization, through a special assessment
of % cents per month per capita. has
paid out tens of thousands of dollars.
and to-day there are said to be more
non-union miners in the district than at
the beginning of the strike. The union
has been fought to standstill, and new
methods have to be sought for.
The men have been asking for months
that President Mitchell come into the dis
trict They believe that with his pres
tige he might turn defeat into victory
Though Mr.. Mitchell win not admit 1t.
the Indications are that he villa go to

An interesting case In the City Court
to-day was that of Levi Rhoden VS.. Mr.
and Mrs. Cox, to obtain custody and con-
troll of Fannie Rhoden, a pretty little
daughter of MIR. Rhoden. A year or so
ago, while Rhoden and his family were in
bad health and very poor circumstances
generally, he turned the little girl over
to Mrs. Cox to keep. He claimed that
he rendered the child to her temporarily,
but she said that it was a permanent
arrangement. When Rhoden regained his
health and found employment he wanted
the child, but the defendants refused to
part with her. Ha beas corpus proceedings
were instituted and the case went into
court. The evidence made the case very
difficult 10 decide, though Judge Griffin
decided in favor of the father, as the
child was bound to him by the strongest
natural tie.

THE ANACONDA HILL SLIDES.
The Big Copper Mountain Moves
PerccptibIy, Carrying n Portion
of Butte With II.

Butte, Mont. April PA portion Of
Butte, believed to embrace the larger
part of the big hill upon which some of
the Anaconda mines are located, has
made a very percepdble movement south
westward during the past few days At
the foot of the Anaconda hill. the slide
pushed the tracks of the street railway
line about six inches for a distance of
about 300 feet along the road. AS there
are no large buildings in that part of
the city, no damage was done except to
the railroad tracks, and but for their
displacement the slide would not have
been noticed.
Biologists and scientific men claim that
the entire range of mountains about
Butte is constantly moving, and that the
sliding process, which has been going on
for ages and has crushed and mixed the
copper veins and ore bodies in the Butte
district and displaced many of them, is
still going on. About a year ago a sim
liar slide occurred in the western por-
tion of the city and right in the heart of
the residence portion The County Court
House, the handsome residence of Sena-
tor w. A. Clark, several churches, and
other buildings were seriously cracked, the
residence of Senator Clark havinga assure
about two inches wide through the entire
building from east to west, and the street
car track in several places being bumped
up by the sliding movement. The state
ment is made by a well-known mining
man that the collar shaft of the Green
Mountain mine, one of the Anaconda
properties. has moved in ten years about
seven feet The strange phenomenon is
regarded with interest by scientific men,
but no danger is apprehended from it.
