NEAR HIS LAST SLEEP
Lord SaIisbury's Flame Of

(By the Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 21.-(9 p. m.)-All the
members of Lord Salisbury's family are
gathered in or within call of his bedroom
at Hatfield House. The end is expected
any minute, though oxygen may prolong
his life for a few hours
10 p. ma bulletin issued at 9:45 p. N.
says:
There is slight Improvement in Lord
Salisbury's condition, which, however, is
still very serious"
Since the bulletin issued Thursday night
announcing that the condition OF Lord
Salisbury was critical the members of his
family, including Viscount Cranborne
Lord Arthur Cecil Lord Robert Cecil, the
Rev. Lord William Cecil, Lady Gwendclin
Cecil, the Earl and Countess of Selbourre.
and later Premier A. j. Balfour, who
came from Scotland, have been gathered
in the vicinity of the sick room awaiting
the final call. 1t is realized that death
is inevitable, though the patient is making
a wonderful struggle. For the past TWEEN
ty-four hours he has been fighting for every
breath, helped by a continual supply of
oxygen. The weakness of the heart, which
has been the most dangerous feature since
the patients last seizure is hourly be-
coming accentuated and the marquis is
gradually sinking away. He does not suf-
fer much pain and has only brief periods
of consciousness.
The gates of Hatfield House were closed
at midnight with the announcement that
there had been no change in the patient
condition since early in the evening, I'd
that no other bulletin was expected until
morning.
The Associated Press correspondent is
able to confirm the best source at Hatfield,
the Lancet's statement, that Lord Sails
bury is suffering from Bright's disease. He
has been practically unconscious for the
past twenty-four hours, a brief interval
of sensibility forming the basis for last
nights not unfavorable bulletin.

soUrR's GROWTH MORE RAPID.
From 1890 to 1900 its Population Grew Faster
Than the North's.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Aug. 21.-The Census Blu
reau has published as a bulletin dis
cussion of the increase of population in
the United States as shown by the census
of 1900 The principal results of the study
of these figures are summarized as fol-
lows:
The increase in the population of CONT
mental United States, that is, the Uni
ted States exclusive of Alaska, and the
recent insular accessions, was 10 ,046, SCI
or 20.7 per cent.
Only one country Argentina, has shown
by the most recent figures a more rapid
growth.
Il The present rate of growth IN CONT
mental United States is estimated at dou
bic the average rate of Europe.
In the decade 1890 to 1900 for the first
time in our national history the Southern
States increased faster than the North
ern. East of the Mississippi, however,
the Northern States, as group have
grown in the last ten years
somewhat more rapidly than the South
ern, but west of that river the Southern
States have increased almost two and
one half times as rapidly as the Northern,
and it is this fact which makes the
\
that of the North.
The region west of the Mississippi river
is still increasing faster than that east
Of it, The rates of increase in the North
and South during the twenty years were
practically the same:
But in the character of this growth
the two regions differ widely, there being
a relatively uniform growth over the
whole South, equalized by balance IN
the North between a lower rate of rural
growth and a higher rate of urban growth.
The most noteworthy result OF the en-
tire discussion it is stated, is the cumula-
tive evidence of the rapid approach to
equality in the rates Of increase OF various
parts of the United States. This appears
whether North be compared with South,
East with West, or city with country.

All the dispatches r,

All the dispatches re-
- today Indicate that the revo-
1utIon in Macedonia is spreading. The
situation is causing intense anxiety in
official circles. The most alarming news
relates to an outbreak covering a consid-
cradle area in the eastern part of the
Adrianople vilayet, where the insurgents
have captured the town of Vasiliko. They
took the chief Turkish officials prisoners
and brought them to the Bulgarian from
tier, where they liberated them. The
Turkish officials fearing to return to
Vasiliko, sought refuge of the Bulgarian
authorities, who sent them to hotel In
Burgas, where they are at liberty to re-
main or depart. The insurgents burned
the villages behind Vasiliko and attacked
a Turkish military post at the monastery
of Elijah, south of Tirnovo.
The eastern part of the Adrianople
vllayet is a mountainous region and the
villages are few and scattered The
strength of the insurgents is unknown.
1t is thought that the outbreak is not an
organized movement, but is intended as Il
diversion to draw the Turkish troops from
the other districts.
The peculiar danger of the latest out
break lies in its proximity to the Bull
garian frontier, thus creating a situation
long foreseen and dreaded by the Sofia
government. The Turks are now certain
to send a considerable force to this terri.
tory to suppress the outbreak, which will
necessitate the strengthening of the Bull
garian troops along the frontier With
the two armies close to each other under
the present strained relations, the situa-
ton becomes extremely delicate, the Bull
garlan government is taking every posi-
bic step TO prevent calamity, but the
officials express the greatest concern.
The insurgents completely burned
Vasiliko and also twelve villages in the
neighborhood. The Bulgarian officials ar
rested the insurgents who brought the
Turkish officials at Vasiliko to the Bull
garian frontier.
Severe fighting is reported to be pro-
ceeding near Gehgele with heavy losses on
both sides.
The Sofia .Dnevjnjk declares that all the
Turkish yilayets in Macedonia will be in
full revolt. August 2Sth and that thc
revolution Is spreading from Salonica into

Washington, August 21.-Secretary Will
son exhibited on his desk in the Agricul
tural Department today the first hank Of
silk reeled from the silk reeling machines
recently purchased by the department..
There are three of these machines, though
only one of them has been put in opera
ton, the intention being to send one of
the two remaining machines to TuskegCe
and the other to some other place where
sufficient interest may be shown to learn
how to operate it. Cocoons have been
purchased from all over the country ard
two expert female French operatives have
been brought to Washington to teach the
operation of the machines. 1t is Secretary
Wilson's desire to have the people of the
South and especially colored persons,
learn the business, because of the com
parative cheapness of that labor Al
rangements already have been made to
have some girls come to Washington to
learn the machines, and they are expected
daily. Secretary Wilson says that the de-
partment is prepared to do everything
possible to encourage the idustry, and that
silk worm eggs as well as young mulberry
trees will be supplied to persons desiring
to engage in the business. The depart
ment at present is buying cocoons when
ever offered, but Keeling centers will be
established as fast as possible and each OF
these will be cocoon market. The silk
produced is of very fine quality. The
department is prepared at present to turn
ont about twelve hanks per day. Eve
hope soon to have enough to make Tag
for the President said Secretary Wilson.
THE United States imports $75,00o000
worth of silk annually, and it behooves
us to do all we can to establish the in
dustry.'
