hand, there was a rapid decrease from
1880 to 1900.
1.-The proportion Of white children
under five years of age to the total
population decreased steadily, except
from 1850 to 1850, the number Of such
children being in 1900 about three
ffths of what it was in 1880. The de-
crease during the last decade of the
century was insignificant.
"The corresponding proportion for
negroes was at it's height in 1850 and
1880 and except for 1870 was least in
1890.
1.-The decades of great. immigration
and the Civil War showed the greatest
ratio of decrease in the proportion OF
children.
1.-THE decades Immediately following
those Of great immigration showed a
reduction in the rate of decrease, prob
ably because of the high birth rate
among the immigrants. The reduction
in the proportion of children to total
population during the century suggests,
but does not prove, that the birth rate
was lower.
1.-THE increase in the proportion of
children among negroes from 1850 to
1880 and the decrease from 1880 to
1900 suggests q high birth rate during
the twenty years following emancipa-
ton and a rapid fall in the birth rate
thereafter.
''The proportion Of children under
five years of age to women of child
bearing age increased from 1850 to
1860, but has decreased since then,
being in 1900 about three-fourths Of
what it was in 1860.
'"The decline in the proportion Of
children since 1860 has been less
marked in the South than in the North
and West. The proportion in the North
and West in 1850 was about five
sixths, and in 1900 less than three
fourths Of that in the South"

Secretary Loeb, who will see that all
the congratulatory messages are an
swered, began the task at once.
The ,earnestness of endeavor and sin
cerity of purpose of the Chief Execu-
tive in his efforts on behalf Of peace
are shown in his prayer before the
opening of the negotiations when the
plenipotentiaries met on the Presi-
dents yacht at Oyster Bay. He said:
Gentlemen, 1 propose a toast to
which there will be no answer and
which I ask you to drink in silence,
standing. I drink to the welfare and
prosperity of the sovereigns and peo-
pies of the two great nations whose
representatives have met n another
on this ship. It is my most earnest
hope and prayer, in the interest of not
only these two great powers but of all
mankind, that a just and lasting peace
may speedily be concluded between
Them
But for his unfailing efforts and re-
lentless zeal the conference would I'M
doubtedly have failed, and the entire
civilized world knows 1t.

President Delayed With Notes of
Congratulation at Oyster Bay.
RECOGNITION OF HIS EFFORTS

Unite in Praising Our Chief Executive
For His Labors in Behalf of Peace
Between Russian and Japan.

Between Russian and Japan.
Oyster Bay, N. Y.-From out Of the
whirl of excitement and the clouds of
doubt arises a solitary figure, majestic
in it's just pride of accomplishment,
simple in its pure American democracy.
President Roosevelt stands to-day in
the eyes of the entire world, the most
potent figure in current history.
While the telegraph wires leading
into this little village on the shores of
the Sound were humming with on
gratulatory messages from the mighty
ones of the world, the President might
have been seen dressed in khaki and
carrying an axe, striding down the
wooded elope near his summer home.
"A heavy drizzle was falling. 1t was
but a few minutes before the axe
awakened the echoes.
: Two hours later, at 9 o'clock in the
morning, Secretary Loeb arrived at
Sycamore Hill for his daily session
of executive business with the Presi-
dent. He carried a handbag filled with
congratulations from crowned heads of
Europe, from men occupying exalted
places in State and church the world
over, and letters that came from men
and women in humber station.
Mr.. Loeb found the President half
hidden behind a pile Of wood. Thus it
was that the man on whom is centred
the gaze of the world received the
official thanks of the world.
"Whistle softly. We are getting into
the thin timber, but we are not yet out
of the woods"
This homely admonition is said to
have been used by President Roosevelt
in speaking of the situation at Ports
mouth. Peace vas in sight, but was
not yet an accomplished fact
The Geographic force at the eXecu-
tive office was swamped with messages
from those who wished to congratulate
the President on the happy outcome
of his efforts for peace. Among them
were the following:
Peterhof, Alexandria.
Accept my congratulations and warm
est thanks for having brought the
peace negotiations to a successful con-
clusion owing to your personal ener-
getic efforts My country will CRATE

ence. NICHOLAS.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-The news Of
the peace agreement did not reach here
until S O'Clock in the evening. 1t speed
lily circulated by word Of mouth, and
was received with general incredulity.
Not for a moment have the members
Of the war party believed that peace
was a possible outcome of the confer
ence. Their attitude is one Of furious
evaporation as Of people who have
been tricked into a false position.

served here by the British, American
and Russian expeditions in perfect
weather. The coron was of moderate
size on account Of the haze. The to-
tally Of the eclipse lasted two minutes
and twenty-four seconds.
The American expedition, headed by
Professor HuSsey, of Lick Observatory,
carried out its complete program. 1t
obtained eight plates with a forty
foot lens, eight plates which were ex-
posed for the intramercurial planet,
with a composite battery of four tele-
scopes, and one plate of the general
coronal spectrum.
London, Eng.-The solar eclipse was
not visible in London, owing to cloudy
weather. Efforts we're made to take
observations from high attitudes by
means of balloons. The eclipse was
distinctly seen from points in the north
west of Ireland. The umbra at the
greatest made the sun appear like a
crescent moor
j Paris, FraEce.-The eclipse Of the
sun was observed here under the most
favorable conditions.
Dispatches from Burgos, Spain, re-
port that excellent results were OBJ
tanned by all the scientific expeditions.
Military balloons took part in the OBJ
s%ervatiOns there.
ST. Johns, n. fail stations along

tons Of the eclipse of the sun, but
lack Of Geographic communication with
Labrador makes it impossible to learn
if equally favorable results marked the
efforts of the scientific parties there.
New York City.-Cloudiness made it
impossible to catch any satisfactory
glimpse of the sun in or near this city
at the time of the solar eclipse. Many
people arose at ar incOnveniently early
hour and sought posts on housetops,
bridges or elevations in the streets
which commanded the eastern horizon,
but without avail.
