thank you for the splendid vote you
gave me at the recent primary for the
office of superintendent of education.
Opposed by two active men who boosted
they had seen every voter in the county,
| am proud to know that came so
near winning over both of them without
personal solicitation of single vote.
Still too much out of health, to per-
sonally take part | find myself forced
to take the chances of a second primary
against one of my opponents.
leave myself in the hands of my
many good friends with full confidence
of again receiving your kind support
and ask that you again express at the
polls your wish to have me continued
in office. AS you all know, it is hard to
get the vote in second primary. 1t
would seem to strong mans friends
that he could get along without their
votes. A busy time is upon large
part of my support and it will be hard.
ask you to make the effort, do not
forget the disappointment we have all
felt, that few of my oversure friends
did not get their votes in in the first
primary and we are thereby forced into
the second.
An approximate analysis of the vote
at the first primary shows that ] re-
ceived 40 per cent of the number polled
and that my opponent, Mr.. Lame re-
ceived 26 per cent, Mr.. Goodwin receiv-
ing the balance 25 per cent. count on

those who voted for Mr.. Goodwin. Per-
sonal reasons caused them to support
him in the first race. feel confident

these gentlemen, which has not been
lessened by the struggle we have just
passed through, and that they will ac-
cord me their solid support in the second
primary. Will they not bear me out?

is to me to be unable to be at my post
during this time. | have been much

that a return to business at present

female MINISTRIES
ARE COMING SOON

A startling novelty in the way of an
entertainment will be put on some time
in July at Fort Pierce. The president
of the Fort Pierce base ball club stated
to the TRIBUNE reporter this week that
the base ball club had secured with
great difficulty and enormous expense
a genuine female minstrel troupe, who
would give performance for the bene-
fit of the club during the month of
July. The performers will be local
talent, but the baseball man only smiled
when the reporter asked for their
names. A great show is promised,
with good music. clever songs, funny
jokes and startling surprises.

STATECENSUS
MADE PUBLIC
Population of Florida is Rapidly
Increasing.
THREE COUNTIES SHORT
The Total Gives 556,69O Without Dade,
tsCambia and Orange. 800 Jackson
vile Still the Leading City.

The census returns for 1905 which
were given out couple of weeks ago
for all the counties except Dade, rs
Gambia and Orange shows population
in the State of 1856 white; 2ll $50
black; l35 other races; making Il total
of $50, 800 This is AN increase of ~
$50 over the Federal census Of 1900.
If the States census is correct two
counties have been nearly depopuIated
in five years except as to their largest
towns. In 1900 there were S92 people
in Monroe county outside of Key West.
In 1905 there were only 475. In Frank
lin there were 900 outside of Apalachi-
cola and Carrabelle in 1900 and only
1863 in 1905. There must be number
of homes in these counties abandoned
by their inhabitants or sighted by the
census taker.
Wakulla had precisely the same pop
ulation in 1906 as in 1900. Nobody was
born, nobody died, nobody moved in
and nobody moved out in five years.
Brevard county was divided in 1905 to
create st. Lucie county; had it remained
intact there would have been an increase
of 1,498 over what constituted the
population of both counties in 1900.
Live Oaks population increased from
1859 to 1900, giving that city fifth
place in Florida, hut this growth seems
to have been at the expense of the sur
rounding country for Suwannoe coun-
ty, outside of Live Oak. shows a de-
crease of 2OSi. Hamilton county, out
side of White Springs, which gained
592, lost 2,552, and Columbia and Madi-
son counties, outside Of their largest
towns, remained almost stationary.
Perry, from an unincorporated town
in 1900, has become city with 2,62S
people; but Taylor county has gained
only 1852. Jefferson county lost 3,O65,
of which number Monticello lost Is.
Leon county lost 1904, while Tallahas-
see gained $50.
Jacksonville still stands first. AS
Pensacola is not reported it is not GER
tain whether Tampa is second or third.
With suburban towns Tampa would UNI
questionably be second, as with her SUI
burban towns she has population of
80, 1872. Pensacola is probably third
If So Key West, with population Of
20. 49S, is fourth, and Live Oak, with
1900 is fifth. Other cities with 5000
or more inhabitants are Lake City,
$500; Gainesville, Sab and st. Angus
tine, 5, III.
Six counties are reported as having
more than 10000 people each. They
are Hillsborough, 81, 4l6; Duval, 47,9l2;
Alachua, S4,OO7; Jackson, 1854; Mar
ion, 26, 725, and Monroe, 2O,973. Of
course, Escambia, if reported, would
have also been in this list.

His Selection "a Ambassador "a
America Expected Here.

II is regarded as probable here that the
British Foreign Office viii soon announce
that James Bryce. now chief secretary
for Ireland Will be appointed 10 succeed
Sir Mortimer Durand as the British Am
tassador to this country. There has
been, however, no official information re-
ceived in Washington. Before any Al
nouncement of the selection is made the
British government viii ask the state De
partment il the appointment of Mr.. Bryce
would be acceptable 70 this government
1t is fOregone conclusion that the S.
lection wouli be perfectly satisfactory.
The recent criticisms of The administra-
ton Of his Office by Sir Mortimer Durand,
which have appeared in the English
press. have caused considerable surprise
here, where the ambassador is very gen.
orally liked, and is regarded as one of
me ablest men in the Diplomatic Corps.
One of the chief statements made
against him is that he is not familiar, to
the extent he should be, with American
sffairs. As a matter OF fact, there has
probably never been a foreign diplomatic
representative in Washington who knew
more about current events in American
politics and commerce, or who was more
generally acquainted with the officials of
Washington, and especially with members
Of Congress, than the present head Of
the British mission TO this country

CONGO IS A HOT POTATO
Senate Leaders Trying to Drop It
Nicely.
COIOred Petitioners Who Want This
Government to Colombo American
Negroes Over There.

/ The Congo question is fast assuming
/ the role Of a hot potato In the Senate.
/ The Foreign Relations Committee viii
meet this morning TO hear Senator
/ Spooner's plan for dropping the whole
matter He believes that the noniuter-
| ference clause tackled on the Algeciras
treaty the other day distinctly lets this
government out of the distasteful job Of
/ proposing for Englaud's benefit an inter
national inquiry into the atrocities Of
which King Leopold and his friends are
| accused in their administration of Congo
affairs.
/ Senator Lodge. who has been more or
/ less occupied of late in listening 10
1 volumes of complaint from missionaries,
their relatives. and friends about the
/ horrors OF the Congo is now half in
clined to wish ne had not been so quick
to put in his resolution. He is credited
/ with a purpose to get il out Of the COM
mittee to-day If possible with a favorable
report and let il breathe its last on the
Senate calendar,
/ The idea is the more welcome because in
/ all probability, it is said, when the Senate
| again reaches the subject after the holt
/ day recess, Belgium will have taken over
/ the Congo from Leopold and IL would, If
! anything, be more than ever inadvisable
\ for this government 10 interfere In the
| least with a political question in Europe.
/ In the meantime, the main question,
whether England is TO get the right-of-
/ way she desires across Congo for the
! Cape to Cairo Railroad, and whether the
I United States will be able 10 help her.
/ is as much in doubt as it has been for
many years.
/ Senator Fairbanks received yesterday
! scores Of petitions which the Committee
on Foreign Relations would do well to
read this morning. They evidently came
/ from colored people, who have had the
/ Congo matter called TO their attention
They ask that the United States acquire
a territory 800 miles by 1890 (Which is
about the size Of the Congo Free State,
and colonize there all the colored families
/ in this country that would be willing TO
/ go, and that all negro convicts in prisons
| in the United States have their sentences
/ commuted 10 transportation TO the Con-
go. The petitioners would like TO have
the United States exercise a prOteCtorate
over the colony for at least ten years.
! Mr. Fairbanks was in sore doubt what
TO do with these petitions. but finally de-
cded that they should go. with the Congo
question. to the Committee on Foreign
Relations
! Senator Patterson presented a resolution
directing the Committee on Foreign Re
/ lations TO investigate the charges that a
Congo lobby had been maintained in
/ Washington, and that fully accredited
consular representative of foreign gov
/ eminent had been sending communica-
+ tions to Senators with a view Of infiuenc-
/ ing their judgment and actions relative
/ to the Congo Free State. The resolution
went to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
I tons
