RACE FOR THE DOLLAR.
More Than Half the Population Over
Ten Years Earn Money.

-
Washington, July ia special
report of the census bureau on occupa-
tions shows that in continental United
States the total numer of persons en-.
gagged in gainful occupations in 1900
was 20, O73, $50, which was one-half of
the population ten years of age and
over and almost two-fifths of the entire
population.
The total numer comprises 22,3S9,-
425 men, 4, 1888, $50 women and $780,
1853 children, of whom 1854, All were
boys and ass. 765 girls. Those of for
eign birth aggregate 1851 1893, or one
fifth of the total number of the gainful
workers, and the statistics show that
the emigration of twenty years has not
increased the proportion of the for
eign born in the working population of
the country.
Those of foreign parentage aggregate
I1,165, 1851, or over 80 per cent, almost
equally divided between migrants and
children of emigrants.
Manufacturing, trade and transpor.
tation and the professions show an in
creasing number of workers of each
sex, while the agricultural class repre-
sents diminishing proportion.

BRITISH SHIPS SENT.
Some Go to Red Sea, While 9th.
ers Will Blockade the
Dardanelles.

London, June l9.-Two naval orders
were issued yesterday by the British
admiralty, says the Times, which are
believed to indicate determination on
the part of Great Britain to protect
British shipping from acts of aggres-
sian at the hands of the Russian navy.
The first order directs the Mediter-
raean fleet to sail at once from Gibral-
tar and proceed to Alexandria, Egypt.
near the mouth of the Suez canal.
The second order directs two Of the
fastest British armored cruisers to pro-
coed through the canal and take up
stations in the Red sea at points where
British ships have been held up during
the last few days by vessels of the
Russian volunteer squadron.
While the fact that these orders were
issued was carefully guraded and no
public statement of their scope is pro-
durable, there is no doubt that the
British foreign Office has decided that
the time has come to act promptly in
protecting British shipping and put an
end to unwarranted aggression ON the
part of the Russian cruisers.
Well informed naval officers believe
that the dispatch of this powerful
Mediterranean fleet to the vicinity of
the Red sea and the stationing of two
of the crack essels Of the squadron di-
rectly at the points where the Russians
were carrying things with high hand
means that no further molestation of
vessels flying the British flag will be
permitted.
1t is also believed that the govern
ment means to carefully investigate
the seizures already made, and if the
Russian action is without warrant an
imperative note demanding restitution
and recompense for injured owners
will be addressed to the cars govern
ment.
Will Block DardaneIles.
Naval officers who have carefully
studied the situation declare that Rus
STA knowingly violated her treaty obli-
cations when she sent the ST. Peters
burg and the Smolensk through the
Dardanelles. 1t is well-nigh certain
that England intends to take such ac-
ton as will prevent Russia sending any
LhOiO VI nOl wal NCSSlb tiIOuRn Uuo
Dardanelles. BY the disposition now
being made of the British naval equip
ment, it is argued that the government
is placing its forces 80 that it can COM
pei respect to any line of action upon
which it may finally decide.
From a secret source it can be stated
that not only is Great Britain to be
represented by strong force at the
Red sea, but plans are now being car
ried out which will bring together in
home waters an enormous feet of yes
sells of war. The home and channel
fleets are being modified at Portland
and Torquay and are being brought up
to battle strength by the addition of
ships from the reserves
While to all intents and purposes the
nation is preparing for war, the admi-
rally has the excuse that they are get
ting the fleets ready for the practice
maneuvers, and that cit simply hap
pens that this modification comes at
this time.

Attention
Farmers,

Why remain i. the North and
stay in doors siA months in the

the other six mouths?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are produc-
ing something the year round.
II you are stock raiser you
know your stock are now ''eat-
ing their heads Off, and besides,
have to be protected from the
rigors OF winter by expensive

Economical stock feeding ~
quires the combina ton of both
fesh-forming and fat-forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce in
abundance the velvet bean and

cer, and the latter a fat produ.
Ger, and they are the cheapest
and best fattening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
