Washington, Feb. 12-The migration
between sections of the United States
is dealt with in the following official
statement issued by the Census Blu
reau:
The migration northward of South
ern whites while increasing in absolute
amount, has relatively declined. The
migration northward of colored per-
sons has increased rapidly. The north
ward migration of Southern whites,
however, is still nearly three times as
great in absolute amount, and nearly
one and a half times as great relative
to the population from which 1t comes,
as the northward migration of the col
ored, difference probably due in part
to the better economic position of the
that the center of population of that
class is nearer the border.
In 1900 there were 1022,776 persons
living in the South who had been born
in the North, an increase of 81 per cent.
since 1890. This current of migration
is greater in absolute amount than that
of Southern whites or Southern negroes
moving North, but over a quarter Of
a million less than the two combined.
1t is increasing much more rapidly
than either. But the total number of
persons of Northern birth in the United
States is so great lin 1890, 81, 933, 974
and in 1900, SO, 1S6, $50, that the amount
of this southwark movement relative
to the population from which 1t comes
is less than the proportion foc either
of the return currents. In 1890 of all
persons in the United States born in
the North, 2 per cent. were living in
the South. In 1900 the proportion had
increased to 2.6 per cent.
In 1890 there were north of Mason
and Dixon's line, the Ohio and the
southern boundary of Missouri and
Kansas, 904,6S9 white persons who had
been born in the South which increased
by per cent. to 95S,974 in 1900. But
the number of white persons of South
ern birth living in the United States
as whole had increased from 1921
1896 to 16,055,045. The proportion of
white persons of Southern birth and
Northern residence fell in the ten years
from seven to six per cent of the
whole class of white persons born in
the South.
In 1900, 3S6,Sz9 colored persons of
Southern birth were living in the
North, an increase of about as per cent.
Meantime the number of colored per-
sons born in the South and living in
the United States as a whole had in

proportion of coiored persons of South

and Roscoe Conklin Bruce, a colored
student and orator at Harvard Col

Secretary Long said he brought good
news from Washington.
The Navy Department, he said, was
serene. The State Department has COW
cred itself with distinction in having
won for US the open door, and there
seemed to be almost a rivalry among
the nations of the world to assure US
of their kindly disposition not only
now, Dut in the past.
Coming to the Philippine question the
Secretary said:
The War Department is dealing
with the great interests which are
committed to its hands, and if Secre-
tary Root were here he would assure
you that the administration in the
Philippines is not failure but is adj
vancing every day toward the pacifica-
ton and good government Of those ISL
ands."
Mr.. Long said he hoped TO see the
moral obligation to Cuba redeemed by
adjusting the tariff on Cuban sugar
and tobacco.

M'LAURIN AT CHICAGO.
Spoke ON Lincoln and Predicted
Dawn of u New Day for South.

| Spoke ON Lincoln and Predicted
Dawn of New Day for South.
Chicago, Feb. 12.-Memorial exer-
cises in honor of Abraham Lincoln
were held here to-day on a scale sur
passing that of any previous local Gel
ebration of the anniversary of his
| birth.
In the evening there were a number
of banquets at which the speakers for
the most part dealt with some phase of
the life of Lincoln. The largest of
these was held i'll the home of the Mar
quette Club, where at least seven hum
bred members of the club gathered
to listen to the addresses.
At this banquet, Senator McLaurin
of South Carolina, delivered an ad-
dress on Lincoln and His Relations to
the South"
McLaurin Sees the Dawn.
He said in part:
1 think l see the dawn of another
day when our country will be divided
not on sectional lines, but in thought;
when a man will act and vote, not
from the influence of the mere locality,
but in accordance with the dictates of
his conscience, judgment and enlight-
can make us one country, one people,
one nation; thus realizing the hope of
Washington, the ideal of Lincoln and
the prophecy of Mckinley.
What the people of the South now
want is a closer bond of brotherhood
throughout our common country. In
this they are nobly seconded by the
people of the North. The South needs
the activity, the energy and the pro-
gressive commercial and Industrial
ability of the North. The North needs
the vast resources of the South. The
two sections working together can
bring about an era of growth never
yet attained in the history of our
country.
Meeting here tonight for the pur-
pose of doing honor to the memory OF
the greatest man this country has pro-
duced since it became an Independent
nation. we can take a lesson from tho
words he uttered while the strife was
on, and in this period of love and peace
we can do much to bring about perfect
unity and understanding so essential
to our national growth, progress and
prosperity.
Speeches were made by Curtis Guild,
Jr., of Boston, and others.

dition his physicians have given the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt to be-
ueve that their sons vitality will be
sufficient for him to meet and pass
successfully the crisis in his disease
which is looked for some time ton
row and on Friday morning, he will be
practically out of danger.
This report which was given out by
Mr.. Cortelyou at o'clock tonight,
was the last of the four issued during
the day. none of which was of a, dis
couraging or unfavorable nature. The
first came early in the morning, and
stated that the night had been a good
one, and this was confirmed later after
the morning examinations by the ply
sicians. and in addition it was said
that should the favorable condition
continue for forty-eight hours the dan
ger would be passed.
Again at o'clock word came that
the status of the case was unchanged,
but that the conditions continued fav-
orable At that time, however. no
mention was made as to whether the
crisis had been passed or was near
But after the examination by the ply
sicians tonight, Secretary Cortelyou

The o'clock report of the boys con-
dition was the most important one of
the day. Mr.. Cortelyou said in addi-
ton to what has already been stated,
that the left lung had cleared consider
ably during the day, that the boys
temperature, respiration and pulse had
shown but little variation. Everything
during the day had gone on well. The
clearing up of the left lung is a favor
able sign, in that it will enable the boy
to meet the crisis in the right lung bet
Ter. What is known as resolution has
set in in this LETT lung.
In speaking of other things besides
the boys condition, Mr.. Cortelyou said
that no change had been made in the
