BRITISH EMPIRE SHOWS
MARVELLOUS EXPANSION
Makes Astounding Strides in Area
and Population in the Last
Forty-Five Years
COVERS A FIFTH OF GLOBE
Special csbl. to Tn. Cali.

90 . EONDoN, March s1-The astoundil
growth Of the British empire during the
last forty years-a growth unparalleled
IN the worlds history in point of both
area and population - is strikingly
demonstrated in a Blue Book summar-
sizing the empires 1901 census returns,
issued yesterday.
This stupendous record Of Britain S
possessions, covering one-hfth OF the
land surface Of the globe, Of the num-
bers and variety OF races included in
the empire, Of the populations distrib-
ution in country districts and large
towns. Of their varied religions and do
nestle conditions, and OF other phases
OF life is more wonder-inspiring than
any fairy tale of the long dead past or
prophetic survey OF the worlds future
As expressed IN census figures the
empire stands thus; Area, l1sS0S,37S
square miles increase of area since
1861, 20 per cent; population, 100000
600; average number Of persons per
square mile-United Kingdom 342.4. In
dian Empire l72, Canada Ia. Austral-
asia l.3. South Africa Al.
RECORD OF EXPANSION.
At the time Of the census of 1851 the
empire comprised $500. 600 square miles.
No important additions were made for
the next twenty years, but between 1881
and 1891 the extensions in the East In
dies and in the Indian dependency, and
the great annexations of territory in
Africa, added about 2,000,0 600 square miles.
Since 1891 further expansions, princi-
pally in Africa and Asia, have occurred,
raising the grand total to 1I.9OS,37S
square miles, or more than one-fifth of
the land. surface of the globe. OF this
large territory more than 1900. 900
square miles are in America, 5000, 900
in Australasia, $500, 900 IN Africa, and
nearly 100000 in Asia That which
lies in Europe is only 125.0s5 square
miles.
AS far as can be ascertained the pop
ulation Of the British empire in 1861
was about 259, GOO. .O0o; in 1871 it had
risen 10 nearly zS3,0OU,OO0; in 1881 to
S10.000.O00: in 1891 70 more than
sSl GOO 600; and at the date of the last
census 1t had reached a total of about
500. .00o. 90. Asia contains the great bulk
OF these. being responsible for more
than 500.000.0oO Africa coming next
with 100000
Thus we get the following contrast:

Some time ago the leaders of the
.Bund saw that 1t was impossible for
them to carry out their plan of terror
without@arming their members. So the
committee promptly decided to supply
them sll with revolvers that would
shoot far, and after careful considera-
tion those Of the Browning pattern
were chosen.
at that time the Russian police were
armed with an inferior weapon. sup
piled by army officers who made for
tune out Of the contract by paying. one
third of the price the Government had
allowed them. Since then terrorism has
taken such strong hold of the country
that the Government has followed the
example of the Bund and given the po-
lice "Brownings.
Having decided however, what kind
of revolver it wanted. the Bund's next
move was to get them into the country.
A derutation went to Germany. ordered
large quantities of "Brownings" and
left their expedition in the hands of a
man they could trust, who lived in Ber
lin and had some connection with coal
merchants.
To those who know the vigilance of
the Russian frontier gendarmes, 1t must
seem a hopeless task to smuggle thou
sands of revolvers into Russia at time
when their sale in the gunsmfths' shops
was strictly prohibited and nobody was
allowed to bring single firearm into
the country, but the Bund. as usual,
arose to the occasion. The nearest
route from Russia to Berlin is by War
saw. Moreover large quantities of Ger
man coal are sent to Warsaw from Ber-
lin. The reader will now see the I'm
portance of the man in Berlin who had
some connection with coal. 1t was he
who covered the loaded coal trucks
with "Brownings," which were packed
in small cases and lightly covered with
black diamonds"
DIsARMING THE POLICE.
Once these trucks reached Warsaw
the Bund, which had already made
arrangements with the local merchants,
took care that the men who unloaded'
them in the goods depot were all in
their pay, and thousands of Brown

0OO. 600: population in 1901. 400, ,OO0, 900.
The rate Of increase in the population
of the British empire as a whole is nee
essarily to great extent governed by
that which obtains in the vast popula-
+ ton Of India and the comparatively
small increase in the Indian population
between 1891 and 1901 was in great part
due TO famine and plague. But the de-
( cline in the rate of actual increase is
not confined to the Indian empire The
depression OF the birthrate has now be-
come general. in nearly all countries. In
Australasia especially the fall in the
birthrate is remarkable.
Naturally the density Of population in
different parts OF the empire varies
enormously. There are 1875 persons to
every square mile on the average, but
they vary from 1853 in the Isle Of Man
and the Channel Islands to 1.3 in Aus
tralia. Canada can boast only Ia, and
South Africa Al. Every square mile of
the Indian empire carries 172 people, and
in the United Kingdom the average is
1924
LARGE CITIES OF EMPIRE.
Throughout the empire there were no
fewer than 1S7 cities and towns in which
the population exceeded 0,00O. OF these
81 were in the United Kingdom, rs in
India. in Australasia. 10 Canada. 2 in
the West Indies, in the Straits Settle
ments, and one each in Hongkong, Cey-
lon, Mauritius. Cape Colony, Natal and
the Transvaal
Excluding London, the most populous
city in the empire is Calcutta. which less
than two centuries ago numbered 10.6e0,
and at the last census had $4,000 inhab-
itants. .'
The growth of the two chief cities of
Australia has been even more remark
able. Sixty years ago Sydney and Mel
bourne were quite small places; now the
one has a population of 4S7 1872, and the
other 496O79.
The tendency. among most European
populations TO congregate in urban areas
is reflected also in the colonies. In New.
Zealand and Australia more than one
half the population live in the towns;
in New South Wales the proportion is
as high as 6S per cent. while in Canada
Ss per cent are enumerated in the town
areas. India presents striking con-
trast in this: respect, less than one
