THE TRANSPORTS.

A strong movement is under way at
81 PAM where Jim Hills railroad in
nuence is paramount, to Induce the
Government to go out OF the transport
ba,siness and send its army freight by
private lines. The movement begins
Just as Hill,s great steamers are pre-
paring for sea with Manila as one OF
their ports OF call. Discussing the
matter the ST. Paul Globe points out
that .fhe average rate paid during
the easendar year 1903 for freight ship
ments from New York city to Manila
via the Suez canal was s11-s1 per ton.
According to the same report. the cost
of shipping supplies from New YORK
to san Francisco varies from $4a.S4 70
s12.2S per ton, with an average rate De
tween these points for the past calen-
dar year of $3.50 When these rates
are compared with the commercial rate
,,ow in existence and offered by the;
Great Northern and its allied proper
Ties from Chicago, ST.. Louis and other
interior pG1ntS tta1d6thzez1~e 1900
IS . ton. the difference between public
and private management will become
clear While the rate OF IS per ton
uould be Increased somewhat in prae-
lice by the ships option Of measures
nent or weight, the comparison with
y.aat the government has TO pay Dy
other routes is suggestive.
These arguments have been pressed
before but the Government, having its
transports on hand and paid for. has
seen no reason for laying them up or
selling them for a song. with the pros
pect that private lines would then
raise the price. It Is not to be expect
Id that the ys rate TO Manila will last
'ander any circumstances; it certainly
would go up as soon as transport COM
petition was out Of me way. Eneyi-
fably all big steamship corporations
ike the big railroad corporations. go
into a pool or at least into "a gentle
mems agreement" as 70 rates Com
banatior is always cheaper than COM
petition
Honolulu, as a port Of cali for the
transports, is disposed to stand by
them; though its attitude might well
be neutral in case OF the coming OF
the Hill lines. But nobody is precisely
certain that the Hill boats VIII come.
while the transports are here. Under
these conditions the Chambel: of Conn
merce and the Merchants association
viii do web to aid in keeping them
here, unless clearly of the opinion that
something better can be had in their
place.

FINE COSTUMES FOR
iHEUHD Of SWAT

From the three scenes outlined as the
basis for the three rounds of fun, in
THE Ahkund of Swat there has been
aroused much anticipation as to the
costunling af the ladies who are taking
the various parts of the piece. There
has not been "a dress rehearsal as yet
but the committee on gowning has met
so frequently and, had such REPORTS that
il is certain that this piece viii be the
most deliberately costurned Of any that
ps has ever been seen here.
The first. scene lies in a country resort
in the State of New York and saere the
young ladies are supposed to have a
series Of outing costumes. In this scene
shirtwaist suits will be the rule and
there are promised some new things
from the best makers.
The second act will show at the rising
of the curtain the chorus of girls in
bathing suits These will be of red
with large white hats trimmed with red
ribbons. The scene is at Newport and.
the principals will have some stunning
outing gowns. ssS
The final act, the costume ball III the
New York residence OF Mrs Wander
hoff. will bring out stunning colors and
effects. In this act Mrs. Benson viii
appear as Juliet, with Herzer as Romeo.
These costumes especially imported for
the occasion are of the very finest that
could be found and viii add no little to
the exceeding brillianee of the closing
tableau.
The men will he clad in outing suits
in the first act. as sailors in the second
and in the third and last in VIZ ious
fancy dresses, making a series of strik
ing stage pictures when used as back
ground for the brighter costu.aas Of the.
ladies.

RUSSIAN EXPLANATIONS.

The Russians may have intended to
retreat beyond the Yalu but 1t is doubt
ful that they meant to leave twenty
eight pieces of artillery in the enemy's
hands. Such loss as that signifies a
rout Possibly the Russians were
greatly outnumbered but that was the
lockout of the General who entrusted
twenty-eight quick-fring guns TO an in
ferior force in the presence of the foe.
Either way one looks at the affair, re-
spect for Russia's military competence
is not increased.
There is a singular naivete in the Rus
SLAMS story of their strategic plans.
They would retreat into the mountains
and there. choosing positions of their
own, give battle with overwhelming
numbers. Forewarned is to be fore
armed; and the japanese are far too
cunning to be caught in any trap like
that. Brave as they are in battle they
tire never rash in strategy. They have
been massing in Korea since February
and taking their time They win con-
tif1ue to take it. And the theory still
holds good that they are not going to
spread themselves out in Manchuria now
that they have all they went to war for
the possession of Korea and the COM
nland of the sea.

CENSUS BY ESTIMATE.

The Census Bureau has issued Dull
lIetin which gives the estimated popu-
lation of the United states for 1915
exclusive of Alaska and the insuiar
possessions Of the United States at r.
500 $50. This is an increase of 2.o49G GA
since the census of 1900 The popula-
ton is estimated for 4ss cities having
| 10. 600 or more inhabitants in 1900 Ac-
cording to these estimates. New York
is now a city of SIG. 1879 inhabitants
Chicago has 1873. $50; Philadelphia, y
se7. ZIG. st. Louis has just passed and
Boston has almost reached the 100000
mark. san Francisco and Pittsburg
are close competitors, the former hav-
| ing s55,s1s and the latter s45o4s.
Referring to the inclusion of suburbs
lin cities, the bulletin says that Of the
4ss cities, with 10000 or more popula-
ton. 1sa annexed territory between
june i, 1890, and June /. 1903. There
are no cities credited with $4,000 poprs
Ilation in Mississippi, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, wyoming, Vermont and North
Carolina
California cities are credited with the
40; Oakland, 1886. Sacramento, 3d.
following population. Los Angeles, 49,
1872: san Francisco. 355,91s.
The manner in which the estimate
is made is thus officially explained
The Bureau of Census has deciaeesss
to make annual estimates Of 2opula-
ton based upon what is known rs
the arithmetical method. This is on
the assumption that the annual IN
crease for each year since the last
census viii be one-tenth of the de-
cennial increase between the last cen--.
slses. The country as a whole, and
most of the states and cities; are grow
ing with a steadily decreasing per
cent of increase. AS the condition
has obtained in the United States for
the last 20 years. it is likely TO hold
good in the Immediate future. Under
such conditions the aritIimetieal meth
Cd has been proved more accurate than
any alternative method. Estimates by
this method based on the census popu-
latien of 1880 and 1880 were made for
the, rs cities, each of which had over
$4,000 inhabitants in 1900. and the re-
suits compared with the census count
The estimates gave these cities a total
annual increase between 1880 and 1900
of 4o7, OPS The count showed an actual
average increase of AS, 1913, or closer
than estimates based on votes cast or
the number OF names in a directory or
a total census of school children
