PEOPLE OF EVERY NATION.
The Formulation Of the United States
IL Made Up of Natives of
Every Cline.

In June, 1900, there were in the
United States proportionately few
more females than in 1890, greater
proportion Of the population was ma
tive born, and there were also proper
tionately more whites; or, stated con-
versely, there were proportionately
fewer males, fewer foreigners and few
err blacks than ten years ago.
During the past ten years the num-
Der of women ha S been growing slight
ly more rapidly than the number OF
men; the ma tive born popula ton has in
creased at nearly double the rate OF in
crease of the foreign born, the foreign
element having Increased at less than
one-third of the rate of increase of the
foreign born during the preceding
decade, and the number of whites has
increased to quite an extent more rap
idly than has he number of blacks.
These are the main conclusions de-
rived from a study Of the figures pre-
scented in recent census bulletin,
states the Chicag go American.
The total population Of the United
States on June !, 1900, was 76,3O3,3S7,
including persons enumerated at mill
tary and naval stationsand naval ships
abroad and in Ala ska, Hawaii, Indian
Territory and Indian reservations.
This great total consisted of 80, $685.
PAP males and 81 ,244, 145 females-a ma
jority for the males of 1,S15,097. Ex-
pressed differently, Of each 10000 in

1852 were girls and women. Ten years
before there were 32,315 ,O63 males and
3O,754, 693 females, or Of every 10000
| inhabitants 5,124 were males and 4,S76
were females. The females have thus
increased only a very little more rap
idly than the males. In 1900, in 10000
inhabitants there were 236 more men
than women, whereas in 1890, in the
same number of inha bitants, there
were 248 more men than women. Ex-
pressed in percentages, there has been
an increase in males of 900 per cent.
and in female of 21.1 per cent.
OF native born persons there were
65,s43, 1902 and Of foreign born 10 ,460, 0s5
in 19OO-that is, of every 1000 persons
in 1900 SG3 were born in the United
States and only 1877 outside the bor-
ders of the country. In 1890, on the
other hand, there were SO, 761 sos ma
tive born and 9,30s,O91 foreign born,
or of every 1000 persons $50 were ma
tive and 14s foreign born.
During the ten years the native born
increased at nearly double the rate
of increase of the foreign born, the
former increasing 22.5 per cent. and
the latter only 1874 per cent. If we
exclude the foreign born counted in Ha-
waii, Alaska and at military and naval
stations abroad, in the United States
itself the foreig ign element increased
by only 1901 ,729, or lis per cent,
whereas during the preceding decade
it increased by 2,569,604, or 3s5 per
cent.-that is, during the last ten
years the foreign element increased
at less than one-third of its rate OF
increase during the preceding decade.
In absolute numbers there was an ad-
dition to our ma tive born population
of 12.Os1.637 and to our foreign born
of 1851 1894
There are ! japanese, Chinese, 3
Indians, 116 negroes and SIS whites
in every 1000 of the population.
The totals of the different classes
are 66,99O.sO2 white persons, S,s4O,7S5
persons of negro descent. 119,050 Chi
nese, 1886 japanese, and 266,760 In
