bureau has issued report ANNOUNCE
ing that the population of the en-
tire United States including all out
lying possessions. was $685. 69 in
the census year 1900. This is itemized
as follows: Continental United
States, or United States proper, u.s.
9s4,575 heretofore announced); Phil

century was about s4,250OO0. AS the
population of the United States at the
beginning of the century was about
five and a third million, the nation has
grown nearly siNteen-fold in 100 years.
There are only three countries which
now have a greater population than
the United States-yiz., China, the Brit
ish empire and the Russian empire.
China and the British empire each has
probably between 5O00O.0oO and AGO.
100000, or together nearly one-half of
the total population of the earth.
France, including its dependencies, is
the fifth country of the world in order
of population, and has about eighty
three and two-third million, or almost
the same number as the United States.
These five most populous countries to-
gether include over two-thirds of the
estimated population of the world,
which is placed by the best authorities
at between 1,5o0,00o,Oo0 and 1,60O,-
10000"

OVER TWO
SCORE DROWNED.
Awful Result of a Collision OF
California Coast.
French BARK Max Crashes Into the
Steamship Wnlln Walln and
Latter Sinks In Less Than
an Hour.

San Francisco, Jan. "A collision
at sea early Thursday morning be-
tween the steamship Walla Walla and
the French bark Max resulted in the
sinking of the steamship and the
loss of over 40 lives. When off Cape
Mendocino, on the California coast,
at 4:10 Thursday morning the French
bark doomed up in the haze and
crashed into the ships bow. Then
the vessel slid off into the darkness
and was seen no more.
AS reason for not standing by
and rendering assistance, they say
that it was impossible, owing to the
badly disabled condition of the Max.
They had all they could do to take
care of themselves.
OF the 142 passengers and crew 100
are accounted for as follows: Eighty
four survivors are at Eureka, II at Big
Lagoon, near Trinidad; seven We're
drowned before reaching land, and one
unknown woman died from the shock
and exposure before reaching shore.
This leaves 33 unaccounted for.
All the passengers and crew of the
Walla Walla except the few on watch
were asleep, but were aroused by the
crash. The steerage quarters were in
the bow, and it is believed that some
of the Storage passengers and crew
were crushed to death. A big hole
was made in the steamers bow and she
sank in IS minutes. The officers and
crew maintained strict discipline and
boats and life RATS were lowered.
All who were not killed in the col
lision got off except Capt. Hall, who
went down with his ship. He was
picked up later by one of the boats, I'M
injured, with the exception of few
bruises.
There was choppy sea running and
the small boats could not make land
ing on the shore, few miles distant.
They drifted about all day, and finally
65 people were picked up by the
Eureka. Another boat under com
mand Of Engineer Brown and contain
ing IL persons attempted to land at
Trinidad and was swamped. John
Wilkinson, quartermaster; William
Martel, fireman: L. Drube, passenger,
and three unknown men were drowned.
When the Dispatch reached Eureka
Friday morning with the survivors
tugs were Immediately sent out for
missing boats. The tug Ranger picked
up one containing II passengers and
three of he crew.
The Walla Wa1la. owned by the Pa
'cific Coast Steamship company, sailed
from San Francisco January for
PUGET sound ports. She carried SO
first-class passengers, 2s second-class
and a crew of so men. The ship was
valued at about $25O.OOO, and was for
merly used as collier. and about ten
years ago was converted into passen-
ger vessel at a cost of S1T5,0O0. The
vessel was insured for about 100000.
