INCREASE IN POPULATION.
- 1850 This Nation WIN Nave q Pop.
alatIan % 900, oo0.oo

In an address delivered at the confer
enee Of governors in Washington the
prediction was made that the United
States will in 1850 have q population Of
more than 200, 900, 900. This was based
on an annual increase of about Il per
cent plus an average annual immigra-
ton Of 100000.
There is no question 81 70 the dimin-
ishing rate Of natural increase, but II
the present population Is 90, 900, 900 there
will certainly be added to It more than
as, 900, 900 in the next forty-twO years,
unless natural growth is stopped alto
Rether, and that is not probable. There
will be an increase in that timeOf quite
20, 900, 900 from immigration and It Is
not unreasonable to assume that there
will be not less than 10000, 900 from
natural growth.
The population Of the United States
will reach $50, 900, 600 by the middle Of
the present century, and it iS not likely
to halt there.

THR FLORIDA SHIP CANALS.
Senator Fletcher DisCOurses ths Dues
tlon 90 Waterways Convention.

I'll
Senator Fletcher DisCoOrses the Ques
tlon 90 Waterways Convention.
A special from Columbus, Ca, says
The project Of cutting the PENINSULA
ofFlorida in two by an east and west
ship canal connecting the Atlantic
Ocean with the Gulf Of Mexico, was
The leading question today before the
convention Of the Gulf Coast Inland
Waterways Association in session here.
Senator-elect D. u. Fletcher, Of Flori-
da, tonight outlined this plan to the
convention in a speech in which he said;
1--WE must meet waterway improve
ment in foreign countries by waterway
improvements at home If we would
maintain supremacy or evan standing
IN markets abroad.
''The problem of the cheapest and
safest means Of transportation now re-
quired by the Southern, Western and
Northern growers is solved when the
United States Gulf ports are opened
and the Florida ship canal, on the lock
system, is constructed.
ga ship canal across the Peninsula Of
Florida would shorten by absut 500
miles the route from the Atlantic Ocean
into the Gulf of Mexico, especially TO
the Gulf ports of the United States,
and avoid the dangerous navigation Of
the gulf stream through the straits Of
Florida. By this canal the commerce Of
this northern continent would be placed
more than !, 900 miles nearer to the Cen
trail American republics.
1.-THE general opinion seems to be that
. tideWater canal is impracticable. For
the lock canal almost q straight line
across the narroWest part Of the PENN
sula could be selected, passing through
q number Of large lakes and using some
portions Of rivers. The canal would be
3 part Of the contemplated inland wa
ter circuit of the whole of the central
and eastern parts of the United States
east Of the Rocky mountains.
1T is estimated that the canal can
be dug for $50, 900, 900. It has been eS-
timated also that more than 80, 600, 900
tons would pass through the canal year
", which does not include the enormous
traffic from Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica or certain other countries whose
traffic would bring the tonnage under q
reasonable estimate to total Of 60, 000,-
600 tons annually.
"a complete national system of in
tercOastal canals and circuit Of water
ways ought to be determined upon and
constructed as rapidly as possible. A
transportation crisis is upon US ="
kilograms were sent to President
Roosevelt and to President elect Taft
greeting them as champions ''of poll
cy Of comprehensive improvement Of
the rivers, harbors, and inland water
ways"

OVATION TO CANNON
Congressman BouteII of Illinois
Sprung Surprise on the Other
Boomers-Got Results.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald
Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S.-One Of
the most dramatic scenes ever wit
messed in the house of representatives
occurred today when Representative
Boutell of Illinois, the chief Cannon
eer in Washington, swept the Taft
men, and the Hughes men, and all
other varieties of democrats and re-
publicans off their feet and led ire
mendous ovation for Speaker Cannon.
The excuse for the ovation was in the
fact that just thirty-four years ago
Cannon made his first speech in the
house. Congressman Boutell reached
his climax by stages, and in his
speech preparing for the ovation he
did not mention Cannon's name until
well toward the end of the speech.
But wnen he did all members of the
house joined in the cheering. When
he could be heard again, Boutell end
ed briefly by declaring that all of the
voters of the country will soon join in
giving the speaker the highest honor
possible in the nation The trick
was done before many realized what
was going on.
