General Death Rate.

The total number Of deaths report
Il for the registration area for 1900
was G58.105. and the death rate was
lG.1 per 1000 of population; the cor,
responding rate for 1905 was 49,, and
the annual average rate from 1901 to
1905 was 1913. The annual average
rate for England and Wales during the
same period was 1G for Scotland
1863: for ireland. 17G; for Germany.
1873: and for France, 1876.
The comparison of the death rates
If this and other countries at the pres,
ant time with death rates of the same
countries for the last century shows
upon what an era of low mortality
the world has arrived Many of the
former death rates were upward OF p
per 1.9an of population. The tendency
i'm the larger countries with a popn-
lation Of smaller character to that OF
the United States now seems toward
an annual death rate Cf about 10 per
l.000 or less.
The ratio of deaths of males per l.
600 deaths was slightly higher for
1906 than for 1905, but this does not
necessarily indicate that there was
any increase in relative male mortal
ity. sonce the population of the new
registration states in the registration
area for 1906 contained a higher pro
portion of males than that OF the old
registration states.

EMPLOYEES OF LAKE TORPEDO

PLOT TO SINK CRAFT
Is Being investigated and Sensational

Socn--Simon Lake Talks
On the Case.

New York, March Sit became
known today that both 7inkertons
and secret service men are making an
exhaustive search for Information
that will aid in establishing the iden
tity of the persons responsible for re
cent efforts to sink the Lake subma
rine torpedo boats
The alleged plot and the facts that
have already been developed by the
sleuths are being guarded iealously
1t is known that the movements of
enc man, a former employee of the
Lake Torpedo Boat company, are
being constantly watched, but no in
timation is given out as to Who is
responsible for his acts
A recent effort to scuttle the Lake.
the newest of the submarine boats of
this tyre, in Bridgeport Conn, was
the carse Of the investigation being
started anew. A reporter who fol,
lowed up the work of the investigat-
ors ascertained that this instance was
only one of several Attempts to serious
ly iniure boats built by the Lake com
pany.
Simon Lake, who is known in
every country in the world large
enough to maintain a navy, as a
builder of submarines and as an in,
Yentor in an interview in the Engi.
heers club tonight admitted the
truth of the reports, which he was
asked to verify, but refused to go into
details. He said the damage to the
Lake, the last submarine built by the
company, which was sunk at the
wharf in Bridgeport, was about s22,-
coo.
The inventor asserted that it is
only a matter of time when the entire
plot and those behind it will be ex
rosod
The effort to sink the Lake brought
out the fact that her owners we're
negotiating at the time with Secretary
Metcalf toward a private sale of the
boat to the government The Lake
was britt for harbor aud coast defense
work and is the smallest type of Lake
boats.

WAR Is THE FAR1HEST
 JAPANESE THOUGHT
Ambassador O'Brien Certain of the
 Sentiment of the Empire.

San Francisco. July 14-Thomas J. O'Brien, the American ambassador to Japan arrived here today from Tokio, by the Pacific mail liner Korea. MT. O'Brien is on leave of absence to at tend to some business matters in Flu rope
 In an interview at a San Francisco hotel with a representative of the Associated Press, Mir. O'Brien said that any suspicion that might be har- bored in this country in regard to Japan's sincerity in maintaing peace with the United States. and of it's ex- pressions of amity and good will is with out any cause or ground to justify it.
 q have been in Japan less than a year and that is a short time to be- come familiar with the real sentiment, and conditions in an alien country whose language you do not speak, said OBrien, but in that time I have never seen the slightest sign of ill feeling to- ward America or Americans. It is absurd to think that Japan wants war with this country. Nothing is farther from the minds of the people. I be- lieve Japan is sincerely trying to en' foreeg the restriction of emigration tC !

How and When Contributions to the Fund
 Are to Be Made Public
Indications Point to Atwood of Kansas tor National Chairman--The Time and Place for the Notification FOrmalities--PrOffered Negro Assistance.

Lincoln, Juply 1.-The appointment of a subcommittee of II to meet in the Auditorium Annex in Chicago July % to name the chairman of the Democratic national committee and the adoption of a resolution providing for making public campaign contribu- tions were the principal accomplish ments of the national committee at Q meeting today with Bryan and Kern of Fairview.
 The national committee adopted a motion to the effect that no contribu- tiOns will be received from corpora tions; none of $1OOOO will be ac- cepted and all over S400 will be made public on October 15. None will be received after November I.
 Bryan's leutenants said that Bryan would deliver no rear platform speech es. but would make a dozen political addresses bearing on vital issues. Kern will make a continuous cam paign. Democrats the country over .are requested to form clubs immedi- ately to aid in campaign work.
 It may be stated that had the whole committee acted today, National Com mitteeman John H. Atwood of Leav- enwOrUh, Kas., in all probability would have been made campaign manager. Sentiment in that direction was formed quite generally among the committeeman during the trip here from Denver last night. That the ac- ton was not taken was due to Bryan. The latter has no favorite for the position, nor was it antagonism to any one that formed the motive for the action today. Bryan suggested the appointment of a subcommittee and declared that on it there should be no man who was either a candidate or has been a candidate for campaign l leadership.
 Inquiries among the members of subcommittee failed to elicit lean ings toward any candidate, but the fact that the appointment has been left in it's hands is not believed to | diminish the chances of Atwood. D. r. Campau of Michigan is nc | longer considered: Tom L. Johnson wont have it. Urey WOOdson would prefer not to be considered. and Ollie James is believed to be Of greater use fitness on the stump. The situation leaves the subcommittee with put At- wood to consider.
 Formal notification that Bryan has been chosen the democratic standard l bearer will take place in Lincoln. Some of the> members believed it would be a great political advantage to have the notification take place in New York. while Urey WoOdson was among | those who favored Chicago.
 There was no opposition to Bryan's
