NEGRO POPULATION IS Q, 200. 600
United States Have More than Any
Other Country Outside of Africa.

The census Office has issued a bulletin
on Negroes in the United States" con-
tanning statistics with regard to the ex-
tent, character and condition of the ne
gro population in the several States of
the Union. The summary of resnits Civ
Gu in the bulletin is in part as follows:
The number of negroes in the United
States Gncluding Alaska, Hawaii and
Porto Rico) is 100000, perhaps a larg-
er number than is found in any other
country outside of Africa. Nearly nine
tcnths of the negroes in continental
United States are found in the Southern
States. The largest number of negroes
living in compact masses are found in
certain urban counties, several of which
lie outside of the great cotton-growing
States. The four, each having over 75,-
600, are the District of Columbia; Shell
by County, Tennessee, containing Mem
phis; Baltimore, Nd, and Orleans par
ish, Louisiana, coextensive with New
Orleans.
The district in which the proportion of
negroes is greatest lies in the Mississippi
alluvial region along both banks of the
lower Mississippi, where ive-eighths Of
ing in Issaquena County, Mississippi,
with more than fifteen negroes to each
white person. The center of the negro
population is in De Kalb County, Ala
bama, about four miles from the west
ern boundary of Georgia and thiry-three
miles south of the southern boundary of
Tennessee.
In the country districts as a whole the
| negro males .outnumber the negro females
slightly and in the cities the females out
number the males decidedly This dis
association of the sexes between city and
country is far more marked among me-
groes than among whites, and has in
creased since 1890.
Among negroes 44.5 per cent are illit-
crate. The percentage of illiteracy has
decreased rapidly since 1890, when it was
571 per cent Illireracy among negroes
is about seven times as common as
among whites and this ratio between the
races has not altered materially in the
last ten years.
Illiteracy among Southern negroes is
about four times that among Southern
whites If the per cent of illiterates
should fall in each succeeding ten years
by as great an amount as it did between
1890 and 1900,- On improbable assump-
ton, it would reach zero about 1910.
There was a decided increase between
1890 and 1900 in the proportion of mar
riages among young negroes. This in
crease of early marriages was yet more
marked among Southern whites of both
sexes and was probably due TO the great
prosperity Of the country just before
1900.
There are nearly 100000 negroes in
the United States engaged in gainful oc-
equations. These persons, who may be
called breadwinners, constitute 49, per
cent of the total negro population, while
for the total white population the per
cent is 37.3 and for Southern whites 34.2

MIMIC WAR AT BULL RUN.
Nearly $I,O0O,OOO to Be Spent in
Teaching $4,000 Soldiers.


Prince William county of Virginia, the
scene of many bloody battles in the Civil
War, has been selected as the site where
nearly a million dollars will be spent
this fall in teaching 25,000 soldiers some
thing about the art of war The maneu-
vers that have been planned for the week
from Sept to Sept -, inclusive, will
be the most extensive in the history of
this country. Nearly twice the number
of men and horses that participated in
the West Point and Fort Riley maneu-
vers will be present, and the sham bat.
ties have been planned on a scale that
will cause them to resemble the evolu-
tons of an army belonging to ono of the
military nations of old Europe
Sixty-ive thousand acres of farming
land, extending over an area ten miles
long and FIVE miles wide in the northern
part of Prince William county, Va, ev-
cry foot Of which was fought over time
and gain during the Civil War, has been
leased from the owners for maneuver
purposes. The Southern Railroad marks
a straight line through the center OF the
strip, which begins at Manassas and ex-
tends in a northwesterly direction TO the
little town of Thoroughfare. Several
miles OF the Warrenton turnpike are in
eluded in the strip.
The 1900 militiamen, together with
their baggage and equipment. will pour
in from a dozen States at once on Sept. ,
and the day following They will be vet
at the station by specially detailed off,
GERS who will assign them TO their posi-
tions on the field. -Four hundred wagons
of the quartermasters' department will
be on hand to carry away the tents and
baggage as fast IS they can be taken out

Not Enough Officers and Sailors TO

Secretary Paul Morton will require all
OF the genius with which he is accred-
tied If he is TO dispose of all OF the seri-
Gus problems that will come up within
the next few months without any essen
tial decrease in the efficacy OF the navy.
Because of the rate at which the navy
lie growing the old question of shortage
of officers has presented itself in much
moro aggravated form than ever before
With it is the new problem OF a short
age Of men, which is complicated by the
danger, due to a ruling from the Comp
troller of the Treasury, that it may be
impossible 70 recruit the enlisted force
up to the number required to man the
ships.
There is grave danger that within
the next three or four months several
warships which are in no need Of repairs
may have to be put out Of commission
for no other reason than that officers and
men cannot be provided for them
There is not a ship in the American
navy that is not short OF officers
One Of the first messages the President
will send TO Congress will be an urgent
request that the limit of the enlisted
force in the navy be increased, and that
new regulations for the enlistment Of
men be provided.

Political Race in Which Pennsylvania

Republicans carried Pennsylvania by 2S,-

strongest Of the Democratic States. gave

construction not being complete.
In the succeeding presidential election.
that OF 1872, Pennsylvania rolled up a
majority monumental for that period, of
$4,000 for the Republicans, and Texas
went Democratic by 10000.
In 1876 Texas gave 10000 Democratic
majority; PENNSYLVANIA went Republican
by $4,000 In 1880 the Republican ma
jority in Pennsylvania was $1,000; the
Democratic majority in Texas was 9S,-
600, Texas leading all other States in
majority
In 1884 Pennsylvania gave $1,000 Re
publican majority and Texas $4,000
Democratic-Texas still further ahead.
In 1888 Pennsylvania gave $4,000 Re
publican majority and Texas 10000
Democratic-Texass still further ahead
In 1892 Pennsylvania gave $4,000 Re
publican and Texas 10000 Democratic
majority. In 1896 Pennsylvania shot
ahead with 295,000 Republican majority,
but Texas was not very far behind with
202, 900 majority for the Democrats.
In 1900 the Republicans carried Penn
sylvania by 2SS,0O0 and the Democrats
carried Texas by 146,00o-Pennsylvan
far in the lead.
OF these two States, one intensely Re
publican and the other overwhelmingly
Democratic, the two parties are likely
TO depend this year for their banner ma
jorities; and under existing conditions it
is not thought probable that the Demo
cratic majority in Texas will fall below

Georgia Leads in Peaches.

Georgia has held tbs lead in the pro-
duction Of peaches for the eastern mar
ket since 1902, and it is likely to be for
years to come tae leading peach State
In the Union. The supremacy has been
wrested from Maryland. Twelve years
ago the order of the chief peach pro-
ducing States was: Maryland, 100000
trees: Delaware, 4,520,0O0; New Jersey,
1900. 900; Georgia, 100000. Since that
time the peculiar excellence of the soil
and climate of parts of Georgia for peach
growing has been established, with the
result that Georgia has largely increased
the number of its peach-bearing trees,
while in the other States there has been
q diminution in the number of trees.

great surprise. He explained that he
had intended to retire and make formal
declaration to that effect on his sixtieth
birthday, but had been persuaded to stay
at the helm until after the next presi-
dental campaign. He felt, he said. that
he had performed sufficient service for
the party to be released from further
active duty, and that it was his desire
henceforth to devote more time to his
personal affairs and professional duties
than has been afforded through his CON
nection with politics.

STATES SAID TO BE DOUBTFUL


Thus it stands that If Roosevelt can
carry Illinois, Indiana and one other de-
batable State he will be pretty apt to be
elected. or if he carries Illinois and Wis
consin he will likely win in enough of
the smaller debatable States to elect him.
On the other side, Parker must carry
New York. Wisconsin, West Virginia and
Indiana or their equivalent. He must
carry both the East and the West. If
he should carry New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and West Virginia in the
East, he would lack 10 votes unless he
carried some of the Western States. If
he should lose all these and carry Hi
nois, Indiana and Wisconsin he would
lack % votes.
The issues of both parties were made
TO suit the debatable States, and while
the Republicans have slightly the best Of
1t, the fight is an open one.
In assigning the different States to the
different columns. the experience of pre-
vious presidential years has been the
guide. Only where State has been
overwhelmingly and persistently Demo-
cratic or Republican has it been assigned
arbitrarily to either column.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Before the campaign is fairly begun,
Il is possible to say just how many votes
in the electoral college each party is
sure of. Some States are safely Repub-
lican, others safely Democratic. They
never change. In others the independent
voter thriyes.
A study of the map shows that the
Republicans have strong holds on the
New England States. Their strength.
however, begins in the Ohio valley, and
spreads westward. All the white
States are Republican.
The Democratic tide begins in the
South and sweeps northward and east
ward. Its States are black.
Scattered all over are the great de-
batable States, in which the independent
voter thrives and which are the battle
grounds of both big parties. This is the
subdivision:
