ILLITERATES ARE FEWER
Gratifying Progress in Education
in the United StateS-Greatest
Advance in Cities.

Washington. Aug. 25.-The census Of
fee today presented a preliminary re-
port on iHiteracy among men OF voting
age in city and country districts in the
census year 1900. The report included
under the term "illiterate" that who
can neither read nor write, and also a
small number who can read but can
not write.
In the United States as a whole, ex-
Guiding Alaska and Hawaii, the male
population at least 81 years of age and
living in cities which had at least $4,000
Inhabitants, was 5.SS5. 644. of whom 339,
223, or per cent, were reported as il
literate. in the rest of the country
the number of men of voting age was
Is PAS, 655. of whom 1924, or 13 per
cent. were reported at illiterate.
These figures indicate that illtteracy
among adult males is less than half as
prevalent in the large cities as it is in
the 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 iIliteracy
IS less frequent there than in other
parts Of the country.
llliteracy among adults, the report
saws, is found in the large cities less
frequently than elsewhere in all the
states and territories. except New
Hampshire, New York, Kansas and
Oregon. The report continues:
As the difference between the large
cities and the rest of the country in
the northern states is affected by the
presence In the cities of large num-
hers of illiterate immigrants, so in the
southern states the same difference
may be affected by the presence Of
the negro population
The report concludes as follows:
Among the native whites the differ
ences between the population of large
cities in the north and in the south
in the matter Of illiteracy are COM
Darafiveiy slight, but in the smaller
cities and rural districts of the south
q considerable per cent OF the adult
population have not acquired the ele-
meuts of book education.
As a rule a population living in
large cities is likely to include small
or proportion of illiteracy than pOpu-
latiNH scattered over a sparsely settled
area and more difficult to reach by an
effective system of public schools"

American Appointment Expected by
the Propaganda.


Rome, Aug 25--Cardinal Gotti, the
new project of the propaganda, has
convoked the congregation of the prop
uganda for Sept. 1, when, among the
business TO come up, will be the ap-
pointment of a coadjutor, with the
right of succession to the archbishop
of San Francisco. the Most Rev. Pat
rick William Riordan, D. D., and the
nomination of an archbishop of New
York The Associated Press learns that

IA vor of the Ri. Rev. George Mont
gomery, bishop of Los Angeles, Cal,
as coadjutor to the archbishop of
San Francisco. and the Rt. Rev. John
NJ. Farley, vicar general, as archbishop
of New York

can is that the pope is likely to appoint
the Ri. Rev. James Edwards Quigley,
bishop of Buffalo. n. Y. to the arch
bishopric OF Chicago. notwithstanding
he has expressed preference for re-
naming in Buffalo. In the event of
Bishop Quigley not being appointed,

to get hold of a piece of wreckage that
drifted toward him, and by means of

an old suit Of clothes which he said had

A man named Gray was drowned at

OUR COMMERCE WITH CUBA.
Summary Published by Insular Divi-
sion of War Department

Washington, Aug 25--The insu1ar d.
vision of the war department has just
published its last summary of the COM
merce of the island of Cuba. The sum-
mary shows that the total value of
imports into Cuba during the military
occupation was S225. 437IS5. and the ex-
ports were $45.e0O.0 Oo less than the i'm
portations, a fact attributed to the de-
struction of property and damage TO
agriculture caused by the war.
The United States furnished 43 per
cent of the imports and took 70 per
cent of the exports
Practically all the sugar went TO the
United States. The balance of trade
was decidedly in favor of Cuba, though
not as great as in former years, and it
is remarked that the trade OF the
United States has not kept pace in any
of the I.atin-American countries with
its wonderful strides in other parts of
the world
