REJECTED BY BOTHA.
Peace Terms offered Do Not Please
Roer Leader.

Boer Leader.
Joseph Chamberlain, the British Co
lonial Secretary, informed the House Of
Commons Tuesday that Gen. Botha has
rejected-the peace terms offered him.
Gen. Botha, Mr. Chamberlain said, had
conveyed the information in letter to
Gen. Kitchener, in which he announced
that he was not disposed to recommend
the terms of peace Gen. Kitchener was
instructed to offer him, to the earnest
consideration of his government. Gen.
Botha added that his government and
it's chief officers entirely agreed with his
view. The responsibility for the con-
tinuance Of guerilla warfare to the bitter
end consequently rests with Gen. Botha,
and those whom he was consulting. This
was the impression which Mr.. Chamber
lain clearly conveyed.
The ministerialists accepted Gen. Bo-
tha's answer philosophically as proof
that the war must go on until the Boer
leaders were captured, says a London
correspondent, and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer might as well pigeon-hole his
more favorable budget and warn taXpay-
ers to prepare for the worst, the sugar
duty as we'll as the increased income tax.
The pro-Boer Liberals, who are look
ing for strange revelations from Holland,
are predicting that Gen. Botha will have
a version Of the negotiations quite diff
ferent from the one authorized by the
foreign office.

CIVIL WAR IN RUSSIA.
Students Shot Down at Cathedral and
Anarchy Is Threatened.


Unless prompt measures are taken by
the Russian authorities it is believed
that a revolution, beginning in st. Pc
tersburg, will spread like wildfre all
over Russia. The seditious element,
consisting Of university students, social
list demogogues and the oppressed wage
earners, is massing it's forces against
arstocracy and the Greek hierarchy and
even threatens the life of the Gar. The
plotters have already attempted the lives
of two ministers.
The worst of the riots that have been
of daily occurrence during the past fort
night took place Tuesday on the occasion
of a solemn mass in the Cathedral Of
Our Lady Of Kazan for the repose of the
soul of NJ. Bogoliepoff, the minister of
public instruction, who was shot and ia
tally wounded by Karpovich. The police
fired their revolvers and it is said that
FIVE students were killed and eighty
others either seriously or slightly injured.
Wholesale arrests, including many wom-
en-, followed the rioting.
The attack by the police was extreme
ly brutal. Women who made no demon
stration were treated in the most cruel
manner. Alarm pervades in high Rus
sian circles. The police have notified
house owners to have their dvorniks, or
house police, report for duty and hold
themselves in constant readiness.
A remarkable feature of the demon
STATIONS has been the prominent part
taken by women, Of the higher classes of
the university.

JAPAN EAGER TO FIGHT.
Would War with Russia if She Ha
Sufficient Cash.

Would War with Russia if She Had
Sufficient Cash.
Russia and Japan have been on the
verge of war several times within the
last i've years, since Russia interfered in
1879 and prevented Japan from enjoy
ing the fruits of the victory over China,
put they were never so near hoStilities
as now; and in the opinion Of well-in-
formed dlplomatists would be fighting
this summer if Japan could get the
money to pay the powder bill. 1t so
happens that the Mikado's cabinet and
parliament are at odds, particularly the
house of lords, which refuses to vote the
military supplies desired by Count Ito,
the prime minister, or authorize loan,
which is necessary to furnish the sinews
Of war.
Great Britain is equally embarrassed
and cannot interfere in Manchuria be-
cause her fighting force is occupied in
South Africa and her recent experience
down in that country has been so ex-
pensive that the taxpayers Of England
cannot stand any greater strain. Arnold
Foster, secretary Of the admiralty, in ex-
planning the navy estimates in parliament
the other day, showed that it cost 10
shillings per capita for every man, wom-
an and child in the united kingdom to
maintain British supremacy upon the
seas, without taking into consideration
the expenses of the army and other
branches of the government. This is
equivalent to an average tax of 1915 for
the British navy alone, while the average
in the United States for all branches of
our government, even with the $780,
100000 appropriations of the current
year. is $3.50 year, and before the
Spanish war was only about S..
A Washington correspondent says
there is no doubt that Great Britain,
Germany and Japan have vigorously pro-
tested against the Manchurian treaty
both to the Chinese and the Russian gov.
ernments, and have notified the Chinese
| ENJOYS at Pekin that if Russia is given
Manchuria each of them will expect an
equal slice Of the empire.
Japan is particularly determined in op-
position to- Russian aggression, and If
matters go much further Count Ito will
call for dissolution of the present par
lament and appeal to the people for the
election of another in the hope of get
ting one that will be more willing to vote
money for war purposes.

FACTS ABOUT
THE CENSUS.
Porto Rico has 953,243 people.


Guam has a population of 1861.
The population of the largest cities
combined would exceed that of the State
Of Pennsylvania.
Greater New York contains four-ffths
as many people as composed the whole
republic i'll 1900.
In round numbers the population Of
the United States and its lately acquired
territory is S5,00O,000.
No one State in the entire Union could
furnish population great enough to peo-
pie the 5 largest cities.
There are Is States, all the territories
(6) and the District Of Columbia-2o in
all-which have population OF less than
100000.
During the last century a total of
about 100000 people came from for
eign countries to make their homes in
the United States.
Little Rock had a population in 1850
Of 2,167. It is now over IL % times as
large, having 3S,3O7 residents. 1t is the
only city in Arkansas having popula-
ton of over $4,000.
In 1870 Virginia was first among the
States, and New York fifth. New York
is now first and Virginia is seventh
among the original States and seven
teenth among all the States and terrific
ries of the Union.
It is a curious fact that, in State
that now has 1,27O,159 more inhabit-
ants than in 1890, over a third of the
counties should have shown a material
decrease. Yet such is the case in New
York State Out of 81 counties % have
shown decreases aggregating something
over 10000.
The following named States and terri
tories do not contain any city with a
population of $4,000 or more: Arizona,
Idaho, Indian Territory, Mississippi,
Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota,
Vermont and Wyoming.
1t has been estimated by experts that
the population of this country century
hence will be at least SOC, 900, COO One
estimate puts the figure at AZ, COS, zoo.
