dressed young man of fine physique
stepped off an overland train from the
East this afternoon and, entering the
Office of Chief of Police, urged Chief
Denny to render him assistance to as
certain who he is and what he had
come TO Sacramento for. The Chief
was at once impressed that the man
had suffered a lapse of memory be-
cause of sickness. He examined the
strangers effects, which were of the
costliest kind, but could gather no
clew from them, and all he could elicit
from the man himself was that he be-
lieved he came from Iowa. The Chief
at once arranged to have the man ac
commodated in a local hospital in the
hope that he would recover his MEM
ory
Chief Denny said tonight II is the
strangest case he had ever encountered
and that he believes the man is sane,
but unable for some reason to account
for himself or his presence here.

The convention adopted resolution to
refer the consideration and formula
tion of a currency reform plan to a
committee to be appointed by the

merce committee and submit plan for

Bank, introducing the currency subject
and setting forth the plan formulated
by the committee for credit or clear
ance currency. The plan comprised ten
sections, and Chairman Reynolds
stated that 1t was prepared with con-
sideration as to the condition of the
country, It's necessities, the tempera-
ment of the people and the best inter-
ests of the citizens as a whole, aiming
to protect the interests of the humblest
citizens as well as those of the
wealthy. The moment the reading Of
the committees report was concluded
the convention was in an uproar.
Resolutions were offered to adopt the
report as a whole, another to refer it
back to the Legislative council without
recommendation, another to consider
the sections ad seriatim, and all the
while delegates wildly clamoring to
discuss the subject and give express
sion to individually formulated plans.
An hours discussion was finally agreed
upon and the discussion was without
definite conclusion. At the expiration
of the time limit a resolution to refer
the report of the legislative committee
to special committee was adopted and
ended the matter.
Officers were installed and the con-
vention adjourned.

BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 19.-The Stand
ard Oil Company is securing options for
rights of way for pipe line from the

liminary surveys. The big English re-
hnery near Port Hartford is the second

reasons why the Standard will under

That detective force ~ nature. When 4

evade the authorities forever. II one. of. our
people who docs something wrong. believes
the climate Of ZONE other country will better

IL no country In the world where the people
are as orderly as they are in Alaska. All the
tales Of la wlessness OF the mining camps OF the

yellow Empire Has About One-nfth OF
Globes Population.

The interesting question of the popula-
ton OF the Chinese Empire has often been
discussed, but il Is still impossible to say
with any degree OF certainty what the
figures are.
At the beginning of the Christian era
It is tOlerably certain that there we're Mt
least So, 900, 900 inhabitants, and it must
he remembered that the empire then was
much smaller than It is at the present
time.
Most Of the censuses taken in China
during the last 1000 years, says the North
China Daily Neps. have not professed to
take in the whole population. Young
children and old men. for instance, we're
sometimes omitted, the main object OF the
census being to ascertain the number of
taxable persons.
By common consent the most reliable CEN
sus ever taken in China was that Of 1912.
This gives the figures as more than se2 ,Ooo,-
900. In 1858 the population was estimated at
nearly iOs 900. 600; but in 1881 it had fallen
70 $50 600 600, the great TAPPING Rebellion.
in which 80 many millions of people lost
their lives, being one OF the principal causes
undoubtedly for this great decline.
Travellers, missionaries and others, who
have visited the region devastated at the
time of the TAPPING Rebellion, express the
opinion that the loss OF life during that
great CONFUSION has generally been esti-
mated at too low a figure, and IL is a qucs-
ton also whether the terrible famine more
thar a score OF years ago in the provinces
of Chill, Shansi, ShenS and Honan, with
a population OF 5000 900. is not responsible
for the loss Of more lives than il is usually
credited with.
II is still more certain that the Moham-
medan uprising in the northwest destr y vi
more lives than il IL generally supposed to
have done. A very moderate computation
OF the, loss of life incurred In these three
calamities makes it to he fully 1000, 600.
And in this connection it would he well,
perhaps, TO remind ourselves that the
habitual use Of opium by such a large
number of the people has tended 70 act
injuriously on the recuperative power of
