self and General j. H. Smith, con.
corning the control of affairs in that
province. The report contained the
following in part: 1t begins with a
complaint Of the arrest of several ma
tive presidentes of villages by the
military authorities. Unfortunately
for the peace and tranquility of the
people of this province, the military
authorities here have sustained Sc
we're fright, since the Balangiga mas
sacre," said the report.
Speaking of General Smiths
achievements in the island, Captain
Grant says:
Since General Smith has been in
command here there has not been
single surrender of arms or men,
nor has there been q single capture
to my knowledge. The only thing
he has accomplished, to my knowl-
edge. was the arrest Of a few men on
Biliran and along the straits, on the
confession Of one OF Lukbans officers,
the truth Of whose statements is yet
to be established So, General, all
the sensational newspaper reports
that have reached Manila from re-
porters travelling with General
Smith are absolutely without foun-
dation, and have had but one object
in view, the return of this province
to military control"
Captain Grant asserts that certain
troops were removed from towns in
Leyte for the purpose of bringing
about military control.

ENGLAND'S IRE AROUSED.
Army Anger the People-Wnrn-
ing of London Times.

London, Jan. 1.-THE anger of the
English people is rising rapidly with
the repeated attacks on the British
army made in public debate in the
German reichstag. The Times this
morning, after declaring that seldom
if ever has a friendly nation been so
grossly insulted, warns the kaiser
that the limit of British patience will
be overstepped if Chancellor Won Bue-
low continues to wipe his feet on the
kings uniform. The Times says:
seldom, if ever. has friendly nation
been so grossly insulted in foreign par
liament, and never within our memory has
insult met with such mild rebuke from the
representative of friendly power with
whom he processes to desire the mainte-
nance of good relations as Count Won Bue-
low thought sufficient to inflict on Herr
Won Sonnenberg. Even brigands and thieves
nay know how to die. What we have
right to expect from the minister of
friendly state is definite Reputation Of
the calumnies uttered within his hearing.
with regard. not to the British soldiers
dead, but to those who are living, we must
state frankly and emphatically that the
limit Of British patience will be over
stepped If Count Won Buelow ina gines he
can court British friendship and at the
same time use the kings uniform, in which

both parts Of the country has been
much less, but while the rate of growth
in the north has decreased steadily,
that i'll the south during the 20 years
from 1860 to 1850 has been slightly less.
During the last 20 years there has been
no substantial difference in the rate of
growth of the two sections. The per
cent. of increase of growth of these
regions during each of the Last two ten
year periods follows 1ss0-9O, north,
24.s; south, 20.1; west, 71.3; 1s90-190O,
north, 10; south, 22.4; west, 31.9.
If the comparison is limited to the
states east of the Mississippi river,
CHASING Minnesota and Louisiana with
the western states, the result is slight
ly different. 1t would show the in
crease to be: 1ssO-90, north, 20.1;
south, 16; 1s9O-19OO, north, 1919; south,
17.7.
When the Mississippi states
are omitted, the rate of growth in the
north is slightly greater than that in
the south, but the present difference
between the two sections in this re-
spect is about half what it was between
1880 and 1890, and less than one-sev.
enth of what it was between 1850 and
1860.
The frontier as large area of rapid
but intermittent growth is no longer
an important factor in the progress of
American population, and the rate of
growth in the several great areas of
the United States is now nearly the
same.

BUILD BETTER ROADS.
Report of Agricultural Department
Officials Shows Great Inn
prOvement.

Washington, Jan. 1o.-The report of
Hon. Martin Dodge, director of the
office of public road inquiries of the
agricultural department., for 1901 has
just been issued. Mr.. Dodge says that
the work of his office during the year
was continued along the lines laid
down in previous reports. Representa-
tives of the Office visited nearly all
the states and made scientific inves-
LEGATIONS regarding local roads, road
materials, etc. Several state legisla-
lures were furnished assistance in
framing new laws. Farmers organ
izations, farmers institutes, business
organizations, schools, colleges petit
tioning for cooperation and advice
were accommodated as far as the re-
sources of the office permitted. New
er before in the history of this coun-
try, says the report, has there been so
much interest manifested in the SUBJ
ject of road building, and more actual
work in that line was done last year
than ever before. 1t is the intention
of the director, in continuing the
work during the ensuing year, to en-
large it's scope SO far as the appropri.
alton will permit.

Statistics Regarding
Grouuth Of Population
The Nest Shouts boss During the hast Desadc While
for the First Time n History the South 11as
Increased More Rapidly Than the NORTH

Washington, Jan. 14.-The director
of the census has announced the per-
centage of increase of population in
different parts of the country, show
ing for the last decade rapid decrease
from previous rate of growth of pop
ulation in the west, a less marked, but
decided decrease in the north and a
slight increase in the south. For the
first time in the history of this country
the population of the south has in
creased somewhat more rapidly than
that of the north. The east geo
graphically is included in the term
north. The rate of growth in the
north, west and south is far more
nearly the same than it ever has been.
The official announcement divides
the country as follows: West, from
the Pacific to the eastern boundary of
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and
New Mexico; north and south, the re-
spective sides of line formed by the
Potomac and Ohio rivers and the
southern boundaries of Missouri and
Kansas. The percentage of increase
from 1860 to 1880 was GIG in the north,
4s.4 in the south and 1856 in the west,
while in the last 20 years, 1ss0-1e00, it
was 4S.7 in the north, 4s.5 in the south
and 1915 in the west.
Prior to the civil war the northern
states nearly doubled in population
with each 20 years, while in the south
ern states the increase of population
was only about two-thirds as great.

GOES THROUGH WITH
hITTnE OPPOSITION,
Hepburn Nicaragua Canal Bill Passes House
Of Representatives by Vote Of 3oe to
-provsions Of the Measure.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The Hep
burn Nicaragua canal bill passed the
house late Thursday Afternoon by
practically unanimous vote. Only
two members out of $40 voted against
it. Messrs. Fletcher (rep., Minn.) and
Lassiter (dem., Va.), were the twovot-
ing in the negative. The opposition
to committing the government to the
Nicaraguan route attempted to secure
amendments to lodge with the presi-
dent the discretionary power to pur-
chase and complete the Panama canal
if it could be purchased for $4,000
600. The test came on the first vote,
when the advocates of an alternative
route polled 102 against TO votes. At
each succeeding vote their strength
dwindled until Mr.. Cannon Qll.), un-
der whose leadership the fight was
made, was unable to get the ayes and
noes on motion to recommit. All
other amendments failed and the bill
passed exactly as it came from the
committee. None of the votes except
that on the final passa ge of the bill
was record vote. The debate which
preceded the taking of the final vote
was made memorable by clash be-
tween Mr.. Hepburn, the author of the
bill, and Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the
appropriations committee. On sew
eral previous occasions they have
measured swords over canal legisla-
ton. Two years ago similar vote
was passed by vote of 224 to SO. Fol-
lowing are the provisions of the bill:

TEN MINERS KILLED,
Lose Their Lives by an Explosion in
Shaft In Indian Territory
Bodies Recovered

South McAlester, I. T., Jan. 49,
Ten miners lost their lives in the ex-
plosion i'll Mine No. 9 of the Mildly
6 Dow Mining company at Bow, 1. I.
The Victims:
Jack Mccoy, w. F. Keith, B. F. Farhurst,
E. NJ Prichard Bert Gatlin, Joe Bemmas,
Thomas Blua. John Blua, NJ. Brow. John
Beatal.
The ten men who lost their lives
were the only persons in the pit and
none was left to tell the story. All
the bodies were recovered, and as
none was burned the conclusion is
that death was due to after damp.
The explosion did not injure the
shaft, which was new one, and the
fire that followed was put out before
it did much damage.
The sound of the explosion was
heard plainly above ground and res
cuers were at work promptly. The
explosion occurred at depth of 24O
feet. The machinery was not injured
by the explosion and miners working
at the mouth of the pit descended as
soon as it was safe.
The condition of the mine indi-
Gated that the men might, had pres
ence of mind been exercised, made
their escape. The bodies were found
within a comparatively small radius.
The fire was put out before it had
reached any of them and the last
man was brought to the surface be-
fore midnight.
The victims have been in the employ
of the company for some time, and
most of them were men with family.
