kOta, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Oregon.


kota, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Oregon.
The Census Bureau yesterday issued a
bulletin giving the population of sex. ma
tivity, and color for the States of North
Dakota, Ohio. Oklahoma and Oregon.
The males predominate in all the States
mentioned. Oregon has the largest pro-
portion. or 56.3 per cent. of males. North
Dakota and Oklahoma also show a nota-
BILE similar excess. In Ohio the popula-
tion is more evenly divided. the percent
age for the males being sos. as against
1874 for the females.
The foreign-born element constitutes
over one-third, or 35.4 per cent, of the
population in North Dakota. while in Ore
gon the same element constitutes a little
less than one-sixth and in Ohio a little
more than one-tenth. In Oklahoma the
proportion of foreign born is only 3.9 per
cent.
represents over nine-tenths of the total
population in the States under consider
alton The largest proportion of colored
is found in Oklahoma, where the percen-
tage is II, while In Oregon it is i.6. per
cent. In North Dakota and Ohio 2.3 per
cent Of the total population is colored.
Foreign white persons constitute 35.3 per
cent, and native white persons of foreign
parentage AIS per cent OF the total popu-
lation of North Dakota in 1860. The two
elements combined represent over three
fourths of the population of the State. In
Ohio and Oregon these two elements COM
bined represent about third of the
total population. In Oklahoma they rep
resent a little over one-eighth of the pop
ulatiOn.

MAY RESTORE TWO DISTRICTS.
Important Action to Come Before
the virginia Conference.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept Am import
ant measure that will come up in the
Virginia Methodist Conference, which viii
meet in November in Newport News, Will
be the restoration by the conference of
the former district lines. given Virginia
Conference eleven districts instead of
nine. which now compose that body.
For several years there has been an
element in the conference which advo-
Gated consolidating some of the districts
and reducing the number Of presiding
elders The purpose of the movement
was to reduce expenses and consolidate
the efforts for good.
Many who advocated the measure were
opposed to its adoption when the sugges-
ton was made that the district which
they represented be merged in some other.
growing spirit of restlessness was OBJ
served in the confer ence. and two years
ago Bishop Wilson changed the bound
AIRY lines of the districts and reduced the
number from eleven to ten.
This did not satisfy the element in ia
vor of consolidation and last year Bishop
Duncan reduced the number of districts
to nine.
This measure produced some dissatis-
faction. and at a recen. meeting of the
Petersburg District Conference action was
taken with reference to securing the res
toration by the Virginia Conference of the
former district lines
Each district has one presiding elder,
who stands next to the Bishop, and has
charge of the work in his district dur
ing the absence of the Bishop.
The presiding elders salary is deter
mined by the district board of stewards
and ranges from 81 600 to $40 year The
question of district and circuit boundaries
is settled in the Bishops council during
conference.
The council is composed of the Bishop
and the presiding elders.
