FEW FAMILIES ARE LARGE.
Recent Census shows That births In
Great britain Have Decreased
I'm Later Years,

There have been many surprises in
the census of Great Britain recently
taken, and much concern. has been
manifest throughout the kingdom
over evidences it presents of national
retrogression. While the emigration
from Ireland increases from year to
year, a curious phenomenon is OBJ
served elsewhere in the United King
dom. The number of marriages is in
creasing and the number of births de-
creasing. There never were so many
marriages in England as there were
in the year 1899. But the records of
the birth rate run down to the low
est figure. England, that was SO
proud of her increase in population,
from 100000 to 100000 since the
commencement of the French revolu-
ton, while during the same period
the population of France increased
only from 25,0Oo,OOO to $4,000, 900, now
finds her population diminishing.
But the strange thing about it is
that the same phenomenon is OBJ
served in Australia, in New Zealand
and in all the countries inhabited ex-
clusively by Anglo-Saxons. The
London Daily Telegraph gives cause
for the phenomenon which may per-
haps be the true one, and this cause
is none other than the rebellion,
often noticed by close observers, of
the Anglo-Saxon women against ma
ternity-a rebellion which is the con-
sequence of their passion for indie
pendence and their constantly in
creasing desire to become equal If not
superior to men in the intellectual oc-
equations and in physical exercises.
In saying this we refer particularly
to American women. For the ladies
of the law, and the medical and jour-
nalistic ladies maternity is nuis-
ance, just as it is for those whose
greatest delights are bicycle riding.
tennis, golf and hockey.
Coming back to Ireland, it is found,
according to the official figures, that
47,1O7 emigrants abandoned in the
year 1900 the country to which they
are so deeply attached. These figures
represent 1o.5 per thousand of the
population. They show an increase
of 3,347 over the figures for 1899
and $4,000 over those of 1898. Since
the beginning of the reign of Vic
toria the population of Ireland de-
creased from 100000 to 100000.
The laws in favor of the farmer, the
establishment of elective county
councils and the numerous lines of
railway have had no effect upon emf

'It is a little early to say responded
the Secretary, and then after a pause, he
added. smiling, 81 should say that he
should be spanked with shingle.''
This idea as to the treatment to be ac-
corded Aguinaldo seems to be the one
most generally accepted among officials
and while the suggestion of spanking
is used in a fGurative sense there is no
suggestion in any quarter that he will
meet with that rigorous punishment as
this administered to the arcE-head of an
insurrection.
Particularly III the War Department did
the capture of Aguinaldo cause discussion
among the officials. AS to the disposition
to be made Of the famous prisoner, some
of the army officers expressed the opinion
that it would prove troublesome.
Secretary Root said he desired further
advices from General Macarthur before
discussing the matter in great detail. He
would say little or nothing about the dis
position Of Asuinaldo further than that
he probably would be treated the same as
other high officers of the insurgents who
have been taken by the Americans in the
prosecution of the war.
a study Of the latest atlas of the Philip
pine archipelago, issued by the Coast Sur
vey. shows that the province OF Isabella
is in the extreme northern portion of the
island of Luzon. Palanan is a town on
the eastern coast of Isabella province,
situated on a river somewhat inland,
which flows into the Gulf of Palanan.

Piacido shot Villa in the shoulder.
Alambra jumped out of the window and
attempted to cross the river. 1t is sup

ASSUMED COMMAND.
When the firing began General Fun
ston assumed command, and directed the
attack on the house, personally assisting
in the capture of Asuinaldo. The insur-
gent body-guard fled, leaving twenty
rifles. Santiago Barcelona, the insurgent
treasurer, surrendered without resist
2nCe.
When captured, Agunaldo was tremen-
dously excited, but calmed down under
General Funston's assurance that he
would be well treated. General Funston
secured al of Aguinaldos correspond
ence showing that ne had kept in close
touch with the sub-chiefs of the insur-
rcction in all parts of the Archipelago.
IL was also discovered that Aguinaldo.
January 2Sth, had proclaimed himself
dictator. He had been living at Palanan

when a detachment of the Sixteenth In
fantry visited the town. On that occa-
sion the entire population took to the
mountains and remained there until the
troops retired.

Aguinaldo admitted that he had come
near to being captured before, but he as
serted that he had never been wounded,
