Failure of the Detail system.

It appears from a memorandum sub
mitted TO the Secretary of War by General
Young, chief OF staff, that the detail sys-
TEN is failure so far as applied to the
ordnance department and the signal corps
of the army. 1t is said to be almost inn
possible TO obtain officers for those branches
under the present method of selection. In
the ordnance department there are nine
teen vacancies and litt,s hope of filing
them Vacancies in the signal corps have
been partly provided for by arbitrary de-
tail from the line of officers graduated this
year from the general service and STAFF
college In his memora ndum General
Young proposes the abandonment OF the
detail system as applied to those two de-
partments and a return TO the former sys~

A CENSUS BULLETIN,
Shows Increase Of Population In the
United States.

Shows Increase Of Population In the
United States.
The census bureau has published as
bulletin a discussion on the increase
Of population in the United States az
shown by the census of 1900. The prin.
cipal results Of study Of these figures
are summarized as follows:
The increase in the population of
continental United States, that is, the
United States exclusive Of Alaska and
the recent insular accessions, was 49,.
046,861, or 20.7 per cent. Only one
country, Argentina, has shown by the
most recent figures a more rapid
rate Of growth. The present rate OF
growth in continental United States is
estimated as double the average rate
of Europe. 1t is nearly double that Of
Canada and exceeds by one-sixth that
OF Mexico and by one-tenth that of Aus.
tralia.
In the decade 1890 to 1900 for the
first time in our national history the
southern states increased faster than
the northern. East of the Mississippi,
however, the northern states as q
group have grown in the last 10 years
somewhat more rapidly than the south.
ern, but west of that river the south
ern states have increased almost two
and one-half times as rapidly as the
northern, and it is this fact which
makes the growth Of the south as a
whole exceed that of the north. In
the north Atlantic division the rate of
increase has risen steadily since the
civil war, notable contrast to the
trend in the country as a whole.
The region west Of the mississippi
increased more rapidly from 1890 to
1900 than from 1880 to 1890, while that
east Of the Mississippi increased in
the latter decade not much more than
half as In the earlier.
The conclusion is drawn that the
increased growth of the east and the
decreased growth Of the west may both
be connected with a probable decline
in the current Of westward migration.

COST OF SHAMROCK III.
It Is Very Costly to Try for the
CUP,

II 10 very cosby 10 Try TOT tne
Cup.
The Shamrock III. probably cost to
build about 100000. Her five suits
of sails cost 100000. Extra spars.
riggings, furnishings and fixtures cost
$4,000. Shamrock l., which was also
brought over, had to be retitted with
new sails and the outlay for these,
with the cost of rigging, painting,
cleaning and renovating, made a bill
of about $4,000. Here was half a
million dollars for the two boats ready
for sailing.
There are As men on each of these
racers, with wages ranging from the
captains pay Of $4,000 down to $50 a
month for the sailors. In addition to
the regular wages, a bonus of SIS is
paid to each man for coming to the
United States, and If the Shamrock
wins it will be increased considerably.
The men on the Erin will receive
about $17,500, and those Of second
tender about $4,000. This makes the
cost Of the men for six months over
$4,000
Feeding $50 men for six months is
estimated to cost $4,000. Dry dock
charges for % days are put down at
$1,000, and when to this is added the
expense for storage, painters, extra
hands and use of lighters and derricks,
the bill has grown to $4,000. A new
convoy was purchased for $4,000 to
assist the Erin, and Sir Thomas char
tered a barge, a houseboat and an
excursion steamer for use during the
races. Then the entertainment bill
will be enormous. The Erin has been
crowded every day, many guests hav.
ing come from abroad to live on board
the craft. There will be open hos
pitality for several weeks. for Upton
believes in doing the thing up brown.
And when the account has been figured
up it will probably be found that the
attempt this year to lift the cup has
cost the owner ofsthe Shamrock not
far from 100000.
