THE CENSUS
New York Expects Next One Will Show it to Be Lead-
 CT of World

New York, May 29.-Taking of the state census is to begin next Thurs day. Experts believe the results will show that greater New York is rapid ly becoming the largest city in the world and that in actual figures 1t is not far behind London, which now holds the pre-eminence. London's six million and odd inhabitants are distributed over an enormous area, which is largely what might be called suburban.
 Considering New York as that com munity which radiates about twenty miles from the city hall, includes nearly two thousand square miles of ground and is populated almost al together by persons who come to Man haitian every day and in everything except nominal residences spend their lives here. the figures, it has been es- timated, will reach 5.450,O91

the far east except the news contained in the despatches of the Associated Press. The general impression pro- duced by the cable messages was un- doubtedly extremely gloomy. While Admiral Rbjestvensky was expected to pay the price for reaching his haven at VladivostOk, the complete loss of two of his four best battleships be- sides several other warships, with heavy damage to other ships which such havoc indicates, is admitted to spell disaster unless the Japanese sui fered correspondingly. For this req con news from vladivostok, where the first communication with the Rus sian fleet will be established. is await ed with intense anxiety. The admir- alty calculates that wireless communI- cation with vladivostok might be es- tablished so early as thIs afternoon or tonight but as all despatches must first go to the emperor. the news is not likely to reach the public until tomorrow.
 It Ia a matter of comment that the most reliable information received up to the time the official announcement was sent out from Toklo, came by way of Washington.

WATCH GLASGOW
Municipal Control Makes the Taxpayers Rich
 and Happy.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The general manager Of the municipal street rail. roads of Glasgow, Scotland. Mir. James Dalrymple, who is to give the benefit of his experience to Mayor Dunne, now laboring to establish municipal owner ship in Chicago, has arrived in New York on the Cunard line steamship Campania.
 A delegation from the Municipal Ownership League of New York went down the bay in a tug to meet the Campania and escort MT. Dalrymple from the pier to the Hoffman House. An automobile tour of New York was then taken.
 The visitor is typical Scot, vigorous and sturdy and with all the glow of youth ih spite of his fifty years.
 "1 look forward with great interest to my visit to Chicago" he said. T do not see why the street railways of that city should not be owned and managed by the city as successfully as they are in Glasgow, although 1t is a much larger proposition. There are few people fin Glasgow now who are not advocates of municipal ownership.
 "The city owns the street railroads, the gas plants and the telephone sys- tenn. The street car fare is about 2 cents in American money. Gas is fur nlshed at less than 50 cents per 1000 cubic feet.
 "The only trouble has come from the telephone venture, and that is due to . fight made against the city by the Ma tional Telephone company and to the natural aversion of the Scot to tele- phone The average Scotchman would rather walk q mile and hold q con versation face to face than use the phone.
 We are constantly improving the street car system. and at the same time the roads yield profit. Last year the profits were $5O0.O0O.
 We pay higher wages than privately owned companies. have fewer hours of labor. work the men six days week, have no strikes and pension men when they are disabled.
 Every man is entitled to a pension of half pay if disabled after fifteen years of service.
 We pay an accident insurance com pany $15.00O. year. and the company assumes the city's liabilities for acci- dents.
 we do not have to worry about div idends, stockholders and the annoy ances to which private ownership of roads subjects those who manage them. We have no terminals. where cars can become congested. such as your Brooklyn bridge terminal.
 "Our cars keep moving ahead all the time. There is never any congestion. We never run under less than one minute headwsy. If more cars are needed we supply them. Our cars are kept clean and in good repair. We simply have to please the public by giving them a good service instead of pleasing stockholders by giving divi- dends.-
