BECAUSE OF WAR IN EAST
Stories Persistently Circulated Untrue,
But Make Russian and British
Ambassadors Uncomfortable.
BECAUSE OF WAR IN EAST

Rumor is again busy with the names
of Count Cassini. Russian ambassador,
and Sir Mortimer Durand. the repre-
sentative Of Great Britain in Washing
ton. neither of whom II Is reported IS
to remain here much longer. The per-
sistence of the reports from abroad in
dicating that Count Cassini is I'm dis
favor with the Gar for failure TO keep
his government properly informed of the
state OF feeling in the United States is
causing great surprise TO other mem
bers of the Diplomatic Corps who feel
that hostile influences are evidently at
work against the dean Of the Diplomatic
Corps in Washington to make his posi-
ton uncomfortable.
A second report has now come by
way of Vienna to the effect that the
party of the ministry to which Count
Cassini is specially allied is IN high dis
favor. because, it Is said, they gave the
Car to understand that the Japanese
would not fight, and now that the war
has opened so unfavorably the Car
feels that he has been misled by his per-
sonal advisers.
Lamsdorff IN Disfavor.
Report has it that Count Lamsdorf,
the minister of foreign affairs. has en-
tirely lost his influence with the Car.
and that a new party is taking the
reins. 1t is Count Lamsdorff with whom
Count Cassini is particularly associated.
1t is felt that an entire change in senu-
ment will be broGght about as soon as
Russia wins a victory. The present
state of unrest is due TO Japan's initial
successes.
Even less credence is given to the re-
inn nd "a nj
ish ambassador. is 10 be sent to St.
Petersburg. To several of his friends
in the Diplomatic Corps. the British rep
resentative has expressed his extreme

Well Pleased Here.

This is the remark he has often made

dicated that a vacancy is to occur in the
diplomatic post at St. Petersburg within
three months time, and that Sir MORT
mer Durand is the most logical man TO

that the present British ambassador will
retain this post. Ii is said to be his
desire to live I'm America the rest of his
life.
Sir Mortimer has already won many
warm friends among the Diplomatic
Corps, and he is regarded as one of the
most astute and careful representatives
ever sent here by Great Britain. A no
ticeable friendship has sprung up be
tween Sir Mortimer and President Roose-

MUCH GOOD WORK
DONE AT CONVENTION
Sutfragists Say 1t Will
Spread Their Views.
F AV OR A CHILD LAW
Bill in Congress Endorsed by Several
States-Executive Com
mittee Gathers
AV0R A CHILD LAW

The executive committee Of the Ma
tiOnal American Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation held its last meeting this morn
ing at the Shoreham This meeting had
10 connection with the convention just
closed, but was given over TO the con-
sideration of plans for the next annual
convention to be held in Portland. Ore.
The Rev. Abba Shaw. the newly elect
ed president Of the association, presided
at today's meeting. and all the national
officers. including the honorary presi-
dent, Susan b. Anthony, were present.
Results Expected.
The convention closed last night aftet
a week s session. Much interesting bust
ness relative TO the cause of woman
suffrage was disposed of, and although
no material advancement to the cause
was made members Of the association
feel that the past weeks work will have
its ultimate favorable results.
A surprise came in the afternoons ses-
sion. when heated argument arose be-
tween Miss Clay. of Kentucky. and some
OF the Colorado delegation in regard TO
a resolution introduced on the floor of
the convention by Mrs Grenfel, of Colo
RADIO. to have the convention sanction
the bill introduced in Congress by Mr..
Shafroth to establish a national board
to protect children and animals. and ask
that fl be enacted into law
War of Words.
Miss Clay declared the resolution to
be foreign to the object Of the associa-
ton. Mrs. Gait did not sustain the
kentucky delegate. the vote was put. and
Miss Clay was supported only by a few
votes.
Chaos continued, however, as several
resolutions were presented from the
floor and objection was made by Miss
Clay that they had not come through
the committee on resolutions.
II was explained by Miss Shaw that
these resolutions had come to the COM
mittee after its report had been con-
Guided, and Mrs. Mead. of Massachu-
sets. who presented them, was in
strueted 10 do so from the floor OF the
convention.
During these discussions much sharp
interchange of sentiment was INDUCED
in, and but for the discipline insisted
upon by Mrs. Gait, the arguments would
have taken a much more personal turn.
The resolutions were adopted and af-
fixed to the committees reports

Census Estimates.

According to the official estimate
by the Census Bureau of the popula-
ton of the cities in the United States,
there have been six changes in rela-
tive rank, based upon the number OF
residents, since the enumeration of
1900. New York is at the head,
Chicago second and Philadelphia
third, as before Cincinnati, Detroit
and Milwaukee have advanced, Buff
falo, San Francisco and New Orleans
have fallen behind. Cincinnati
moves up from tenth to eighth place,
Detroit from thirteenth to twelfth,
and Milwaukee from fourteenth to
thirteenth. St Louis, Boston, Balti-
more and Cleveland retain their rela-
tive positions.
Considered by States, New York
leads in population, with more than
seven and a half millions; Pennsyl-
vania exceeds six and half millions,
and Illinois has passed five millions.
Texas has over three millions, having
passed Missouri. Only twenty-five
States now have less than a million
inhabitants and fourteen exceed two
millions.
An official statement accompany
ing the bulletin says:
"The Bureau of the Census has de-
cided to make annual estimates of
populations based upon what is
known as the Arithmetical method.
This rests upon the assumption that
the annual increase for each year
since the last census will be one-tenth
of the decennia! increase between the
last two censuses. Estimates by this
method based on the census popula-
ton of 1880 and 1890 were made for
the seventy-eight cities, each Of which
had over $4,000 inhabitantsin 1900,
and the results compared with the
census count The estimates gave
these cities a total annual increase
between 1890 and 1900 of 407, 2SO.
The count showed an actual average
increase of 414,793, or closer than
estimates based on vote cast ornum-
