THE AMERICAN CITY.
Philadelphia Has More Native Amer. l jeans Than Any Other Town.

Philadelphia Record.
 Some recent statistics have emphasized the fact that among our centres urban population. Philadelphia is pre-eminently the American city. This is not so sur prising when we call to mind that it had more native Americans to start with. Not only in 1790, when the first census was taken, but for at least two decades after wards. Philadelphia contained more in- habitants than any other American town. As early as 1910 the population of Phila- delphia was 111210. According to the cen sus of 1900 Philadelphia contained 1,293, ,697 of whom 99S,357 were native and 295, ,340 foreign born. In not a single ward of the city are there more foreigners than natives. Of the 710,200 persons of foreign parentage living in Philadelphia some have both parents foreign; others either father or mother foreign. Of these ip- habitants both of whose parents were born in the same foreign country. 221. .596 claim Ireland as the birthplace of their parents; 169,2 ,23S, Germany; 53,O29, England; H.S2O, Russia, and 27,66O, Italy.
 It will be observed that Philadelphia receives a far smaller fraction of the i'm migration from Italy and Russian Po- land than does New York city. It is fur ther to be noted that, of the native-born population of Philadelphia (998357,) S44,54a were born in Pennsylvania; 30,97S in New Jersey; 23.1S4 in Maryland; 21 ,S93 in New York; 206S8 in Virginia and 1855 in Dela- ware. Comparatively few residents of Philadelphia were born in New England or the Western Statee. That is to say, Philadelphia does not exercise upon those sections of our country the magnetic at- traction exerted by New York. On the other hand. it is significant that of the foreign-born males; M years and over, less than 10 per cent. are unable to speak English. This shows that the assimila- tion is performed in Philadelphia with ex- ceptional energy and rapidity.
 Of fOreign-born residents in Philadel- phia only 65,3S4 are naturalized. It fol- lows that the political influence of the so-called foreign vote' is insignificant. Of the population of voting age not more than IS per cent. is of foreign birth, and even of those voters four ,fifths have been in the United States more than ten years, and nearly one-half more than twenty years. All the more shame to Philadel- phia, says Harper's Weekly, that corrup- ton and fraud should be deeply rooted in the municipal government The Ameri- can city ought to exhibit a far better record than New York, though as matter of fact, the latter city has elected two reform mayors in the last decade. This, although New York con- tained, according to the last census 1.27O,0SO inhabitants of foreign birth

THREATENS THE SHAH.
Mohammedans Urge Him to Banish
 the Christians

Berlin, Aug. H.-The Christian Orient, e German missionary paper published in Berlin prints correspondence from Tehe- ran, alleging that the leaders of the Per sion Mohammedan church, have served notice on the Shah that unless he purge the country of foreign religious and com mercial influences, especially British and Russian, the church will precipitate a revolution. The church leaders also de- mand that the Shah restore the religious and economic conditions which prevailed an Persia century ago.
 The correspondent says the anti-foreign movement is not directed against the Germans because the natives are con vinced that Germsny has no political in- kentions and that they consider Turco- German friendship to be forerunner of good feelings toward Germany throughout the Mohemmedan world, .srIc.

 The funeral was conducted from the home by Rev. Mir. Feagin.

WHY COLOMBIA IS SLOW
MAY RESULT
 FROM FALSE STEP.
Joint Committee Now Drafting New Agreement Was Appointed by
 Friends of the
 Enterprise.

Washington Special to New York Times. The absence of intelligence from Be-
 gota as to the progress of the confer ence on the Panama treaty by the com mittees from both Houses of the Colom- bian Congress is giving those most in- terested in the negotiations here some anxiety.
 It is now ten days since the Senate pro- mittee of three The House accepted idea promptly, and its committee was ap- pointed at once.
 It is known here that the presiding of- ficers or speakers of the two Houses of Congress are friendly to the canal, and mlttees were made up of men who are entirely friendly to closing an agreement with the United States substantially on the basis of the Hay-Herran treaty. As it is the purpose to ratify the treaty in advance it is understood that great care is being taken to lay down the conditions under which the President of Colombia shall be authorized to negotiate with the United States so that there may be no question afterward, and no disturbance on account of the matter.
 The danegr of a revolution in case the plan should not work out successfully is clearly seen, and considering the state of public sentiment it is probably not unwise to take time and prepare a meas ure that will be acceptable to the people of Colombia. From what Is known here of the draft of the bill which is to embody the authorization and ratify the future treaty it is believed that the most i'm portant part of the treaty, so far as the public sentiment of the Colombians- is concerned, will deal with the erection of a new tribunal on the Isthmus to make laws for the population of the canal strip and see to their administration This commission will consist of an equal num- Der of citizens of Colombia and of the United States.
 Dr. Herran, the Colombian Charge to- day received a cablegram from the Colom- bian Minister for Foreign Affairs, of fcially confirming the press dispatches that the Senate had appointed a com mittee of three to consider what amend ments 1t would be necessary to adopt to make the HayHerran treaty constitu- tional. The cablegram is dated August 16, and contains no details.
 Dr. Herran promptly advised the State Department of it's receipt.
