REPORT on
Census Department. Give Out Num-
Der of Voter. Who Can Neither
Read or Write.

Washington. August 25.-The census
on illiteracy among men of voting age
in city and country districts in the CEN
sus year 1900. The report includes un-
der the term "iIliterate" those who can
neither read or write and also a small
number who can read but cannot write.
Guiding Alaska and Hawaii, the male
population at least q years of age and
living in cities having at least q 5000 in
habitants was $685. GA. OF whom &c.,
223, or six per cen were reported as
illiterate. In the rest of the unit
h number OF men of voting age was
15.24s,655, OF whom 1.9i9. 247 or Is Per
cent. were reported as illiteratcs.
These figures indicate hat illiteracy
among adult males is less han hais IS
prevalent in h large cities as it is i.
h rest of the United States. The diff
ference, the report says, is due largely
10 the fact that the urban population
of the country is massed in the north
ern and western states and illiteracy is
less frequent there a in other parts
Of the country.
The report says
LAS the differences between the large
cities and the rest of the country in the
northern states is affected by the pres
ence ii the cities of large numbers Of
illiterate immigrants, so in the south
ern states the same difference may be
affected by the presence of the negro
population.
Among the native whites the differ
ences between the population of large
cities in the north AID the south in the
matter of illiteracy are comparatively
slight, but in the smaller cities IL ru-
raj districts of the south a considerable
per cent of the adult population have
not acquired the elements of book edu-
cation"

ARMY AND NAVY MAOEUNRES.
Text of the Rules Governing tn
E~vOIutiOns Made Public.

New York, August 25.-Major General
Macarthur made public today the text
of the rules agreed upon for the COM
ing army and navy manoeuvres. The
whole scheme of operations is based
upon the assumption that. in antici?a-
ton of a declaration of hostilities, a
strong hostile fleet without torpedo
boats, determines to make a sudden
dash on the eastern entrance or Long
Island sound to ecure a naval base, in
the expectation of finding the Ian
forces, in the absence of a declaration
of war, in a somewhat unprepared con-
dition.
The periods of h manoeuvres are &c
be divided into two distinct phases
period of preparation and period OF
hoStilitieS. During the fist Ieriod it j
intended that there shall be a day at.
tack and a night attack by the fleet, il
possible a bombardment. and the fore
ing of a passage. During the ensuing
period mines and distractions may n
planted by the defense and the condi
lions of war are to be followed q:
closely as possible.

London. August 25.-ln an editorial
article this morning, discussing the

although the commercial credit of the
United States is perhaps net quite so
good as it was a year ago. and the
actual situation not entirely free from
disquieting features, yet, being favored
with good harvests and n promising cot
ton crop, business prospects appear to
be healthy for another year. For the
next few months, at least, the big har-
vests OF the United States will probably
secure the business world against Tbs
collapse OF credit in New York, but, h
paper continues, unless we ore to ac-
cept the new tangled doctrine that in
some mysterious way economic laws

America is concerned, the present state
of things and he present fashion OF
finance, cannot continue forever. Mere
