NEW STATE CENSUS
COMING LEGISLATURE MUST MAKE
PROVISIONS.
Constitution Provides for Enumer.
alton Every Ten Years, Alter.
mating With Federal Census
RediStriCting for Legislature at
1907 Session.

Seattle, Nov. 23.-One of the laws
which the coming legislature will be
called upon to enact will be one pro-
viding for taking state census next
year. Section 35, article IL, of the
state constitution, provides as follows:
"The Legislature shall provide by law
for an enumeration of the inha bitants
of the state in the year one thousand,
eight hundred and ninety five and ev-
cry ten years thereafter; and at the
first session after such enumeration.
and also after each enumeration made
by the authority of the United States,
the Legislature shall apportion and dis.
trict anew the members of the senate
and house of representatives according
to the number Of inha bitants, exclud-
ing Indians not taxed, soldiers, sailors
and officers of the United States army
and navy in active service''
Consequently the state will get into
the census taking business, though per-
haps on not. so elaborate a scale as that
on which Uncle Sam counts noses ev-
cry decade.
Legislative reapportiOnment, based
on this census, will not come up until
the session of 1907 The constitution
provides that the house of representa-
tives 'shall be composed of not less
than So nor more than 80 mem bers,
aud that "the mum Der of senators shall
not be more than one ird of the num-
Der of mem bers of the house of repre-
sentatives."
There seems to be some misunder-
standing among the politicians as to
the date on which the legislature
meets. 1t is provided in the constitu-
ton that the legislature shall meet on
the first Wednesday after the first Mon
day in January, which will be Janu-
airy 4. The constitution also provides
that the terms of the governor and
state officers shall begin on the second
Monday in January, which will be
January 9.

OF Open Door pOliCv

OF Open Door Policy.
Paris, Nov. 21.-The Chinese min.
lister to France, Souen Poo XII has
come out as an advocate Of APPLYING
Secretary Hays open door policy to
Manchuria. The minister clinps n
the liberal, progressive element and
has recently addressed memorial to
the throne urging the gravity of the
questions which will arise when the
present war ends, particularly in the
maintenance of China's sovereignty
over Manchuria.
In the course Of an interview the
minister said:
Whether Russia Or Japan is victor
ious it is essential that the victor rec.
ognize China's complete sovereignty
over Manchuria. 1t will be natural
for the victor to expect special priv.
leges within the territory forming the
theater Of war, but China's right in
Manchuria being unquestionable nei-
Their belligerent can claim privileges
growing out Of coming to fight upon
our territory. If any single power
gains special privileges in Manchuria
1t will operate against the interests of
all the other powers. Therefore it is
to the interest of the world at large to
foresee the conclusion of the war and
guard against either Of the powers OBJ
tanning the privileged position in Man
churia. The court at Peking is now
considering certain measures for re-
form and is it is quite posi- BILE that
one of the chief results will be an ex.
tension of the open door policy to Man
churia and certain other parts of the
empire which thus far have been out
side Their VANCE of the open door"
The Russian EN- assy has temporarily
assumed the aspect of hospital, ow-

vivors of the battle of Chemulpo. Some
have lost arms or legs, but are in AN
advanced stage of recovery The
wounded are proceeding by easy stages

situation of the forts also is similar to
that of Belgian forts. They are iron

some masonrya nd little Gomez etc. A
clever engineer designed them. We
find them absolutely changed since the
China war, when we took Port Arthur
in one day. Then one fort, Tseshan,
was the key of the whole position.
Once that had been taken, all others
fell. Now we cannot say any single
fort is the key. All are so arranged
that we must take them in detail. The
capture of one means only the capture
of that individual fort, not series, as
formerly. Study as we may, we find
1t dicffiult to locate their weakness,
they have carried forticfiation to such
an extent"

RUSSIAN OPINION.
Hoped England Will Abate Part Of
Her Command.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 19.-The opin-
ion is gaining ground among Russian
naval officers that the vessels Of the
Baltic fleet really did fire on their own
destroyers. The bulk of them have
little good to say for the candidates
for immolation" as they term many OF
the vessels forming the Baltic fleet,
and as little good for its officers and
crews.
The probability of Great Britain
abating the demand for the punish
ment of the guilty officers forms an
other topic of discussion among naval
men here. It is little ominous that,
according to the consensus Of opinion
among naval men and the educated
classes in general, Great Britain will
accept any solution in her anxiety to
avoid war. In the Russian army and
other responsible quarters this is the
opinion which is Deepening daily.

WANT CARS DECISION.
Russian Commanders at Port Ar
thur Divided.

luOu VbVtOSNs
Tokyo, Nov. 18.-The opinion is ex-
preside here that the Russian torpedo
boat destroyer Rastoropny carried to
Chefoo extended dispatches explaining
to St. Peters burg the situation at Port
Arthur, the condition Of the Russian
squadron and the shortage of food and
ammunition, referring the question of
further resistance to the Russian gov
eminent. The nature of the Russian
fire indicates a shortage of certain
kinds of ammunition.
All prisoners taken by the japanese
tell story of increasing hunger. 1t
is claimed that the Russian command
ers arg divided on the question of con-
tinuing the defense. If this is true it
fits the theory that the Ratoropny car
ried dispatches submitting the question
to the emperor.
