LONDON PULLING AHEAD.
By Annexing More Territory, She
Keeps First Place Among Cities.

A dispatch from New York says: London
is the only city in the world with a larger
population than New York; and the ratio
of increase in population being greater
here than in London, If that were the only
factor to be considered it would be ques-
ton of time only when New York would
become the first city.
The city of London proper, exclusive of
suburbs, has population of 4,542.OO0 and
an area of 75,442 acres. This was by the
census of 1901. By the census of 1900 the
population of New York was 8, 49, 900 and
the area 1876, 600 acres.
New York, with the larger ratio of gain
in population and the larger unoccupied
territory for expansion had the larger op-
portunity for increase into the position of
first city of the world. But recently the
committee of the London county council
which has been considering the advisable
ity of extending the boundaries of London
made a favorable report.
When the council came into existence, In
1889, the outlying suburbs were small and
unimportant: now they are populous COM
munities and are entirely free from the SUI
pervision of municipal authority. Horn
sey and West Ham have become county
boroughs, but Tottenham, with a popula-
ton of 10000; Walthamstow, with $4,000.
and Legion, with $4,000, are not.
Outside of the immediate city of London
an area of 10000 acres: and as territory
included in this ring is added to the city
the population of London is corresponding
ly increased So long as London continues
to annex suburban territory to the city 1t
will remain at the head of cities.

Cling, saved themselves with the aid of

Instructive and Strong.

''The Yoke" a thrilling romance of the
days when the Lord redeemed the Children
of Israel from the bondage of Egypt. will
be printed as a daily serial in The Evening
Star, beginning next Saturday. Read what
Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, DID,, New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church, has to say
of it:
1T is a privilege to know such a fine and
interesting story as The Yoke 1t is an
instructive and strong picture of the Egyp-
tan life at the period of the Exodus, and a
very effective blending of the Hebrew and
Egyptian characters.
Il like very much the skillful delineations
of the gradual change of faith in the young
sculptors mind until he fairly bows to the
God of Israel. Every reader will fall In
love with Rachel and be glad that DESPITE
such obstacles the romance ends in the
right way. The character sketches are fine.
The Yoke altogether is a good book which
will do good"

DENIES MARRYING FILIPINO.
Lieut.. Burbank Explains Mrs. Vaz-
ouez's Status in His Household.

A dispatch from Leavenworth, Kan,
last night says: After years delay the
Burbank case came up in the District
court here today for final hearing. First
Lieut.. Sidney S. Burbank, U. S. A, asks
to have set aside an alleged record of an
alleged marriage ceremony in the Philip
pine Islands between himself and Mrs.
Conception Vasquez. a negress of Valado-
lid The woman, who is the defendant in
the case, claims that she was legally
married to Burbank at Valadolid on jan
uary %, 1902.
Lieut. Burbank is engaged to marry
Miss Stone, a Leavenworth society girl.
The announcement of their engagement
year ago brought the protest and allie
cations from the woman in the islands.
She filed her claims with the War De-
partment, and the department ordered
the proposed marriage postponed until
the claims of the woman had been thor
oughly investigated.
About twenty soldiers were present to-
day as witnesses. some for the plaintiff
and others for the defense.
The evidence produced by the attor-
neys for Burbank today tended to show
that the woman was loose character,
and the unreliability of the natives. the
carelessness of the native record keepers
and the existence of a conspiracy against
Burbank. His line of defense is that he
was hated by Mapa, the justice who Is
alleged to have married them. because
Burbank's detachment killed Mapas
brother-in-law in a skirmish. Burbank
accuses Mapa and others of forming a
plot against him because of their hatred.
Lieut. Burbank was In court all day and
was put on the stand late this afternoon.
He testified that the woman was his
mistress but denied that he had ever
married her In any way, or that he had
ever introduced her or passed her as his
wife.
Lieut.. Young testified that he knew Mrs.
Vasquez simply as Burbank's mistress.
The case is being watched with keen
interest in the army, for there are fifty
or sixty officers with Filipino wives
whose marriage to American girls is be-
ing held up pending a decision in Bur-
banks case.

A Virginian's Opinion.
a Virginia producer said:

A Virginia producer SAID.
I'VE cannot afford to antagonize the deal

forget that milk can be gotten from New
