DISTRIBUTION OF
THE POPULATION
Almost 90 Per Cent In the Country Drained
to the Atlantic.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.-The
census bureau today issued a bulletin on
the geographical distribution of population
in the United States. 1t shows that al
most SO per cent of the total population
lives in the country drained to the Allan
tic ocean; over SO per cent in that drained
to the Gulf of Mexico; A per cent in the
drainage of the Mississippi river; almost
10 per cent in the area drained to the
great lakes; 4 per cent on the Pacific
coast and half of 1 per cent in the great
basin.
The proportion living within the region
drained to the Atlantic ocean Is steadily
diminishing, while the part drained to the
Gulf of Mexico is becoming relatively
more populous as is the case in a still
more marked degree, in the great basin
and the Pacific ocean region. Of the
foreign born SO per cent live in the region
drained to the Atlantic ocean, 1914 | er
cent In the region drained to the Gulf CT
Mexico and 10 per cent in that drained
to the great lakes. The proportion in
the region drained to the Pacific ocean is
81 per cent. Out of every 1000 ne
groes, 99S are found in the regions drain
ed to the Atlantic ocean and Ola per cent
are in the lands drained to the Gulf of

EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS LIKELY
President Considers the Subject, but Has
Not Decided.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. March 13.-It
can be stated by authority that President
Roosevelt has not definitely made up his
mind to call an extraordinary session OF
the Fiftyeight congress. He, however,
is considering the practicability of doing
so. When he was informed that it was
the intention of the senate so to amend
the Cuban reciprocity treaty as to render
action upon it by the house of representa-
tives necessary to make ii effective. he
informed senators that he would hold him
self free to call an extraordinary session
in order to secure action upon it.
Senators who talked with the president
today believe it to be unlikely that an
extraordinary session will be called next
autumn. They say many reasons might be
cited why such a session should not be
held, the principal one being that some
important state elections are to be held
In November and members of congress
will be busy with political affairs in their
own states. They point out that on the
eve Of a presidential campaign it is high
ly important that every effort be made
especially in doubtful states. to maintain
the strength of party organization. In
such circumstances ii is said it would be
possible only With difficulty to maintain

last night and surrendered to the Vic
