Taking the Census of Mexico.

Then central committee on census work
appointed bv the local authorities to
draw plans for the taking of the census
in the federal district has completed ar
rangements for making an accurate estl-
mate of the inhabitants of the capital and
outlying towns and has decided to APP
point prominent persons in every town to
take down the names of residents per-
sonally to preclude the possibility of any
names being left off the lists In former
years it has been the experience of cen
sus takers that a large majority OF the
natives refused to give the names of all
the members of their household for fear
that they might be recruited in the army.
The government has decided to appoint
prominent persons census takers IN
order that the actual number of inhabi-
tants of the republic may be secured with
in a close margin of accuracy. President
Diaz will personally take the census of
the block on the north side of Gale de
Cadena, where he lives; members OF the
cabinet will perform similar duty in
their respective neighborhoods: the Arc-i-
bishop of Mexico will take the census or
population in his own quarters and an
effort will be made TO have all prominent
citizens accept the appointment for their
neighborhood generally in order that con
fidence may be inspired among the natives
and the figures may be as accurate a. pos
sible. But in interior Mexico an uphill
task is in store for the authorities. as the
majority is bent upon thwarting the cen
sus work. being formed of illiterate poems
and farm laborers who are still afraid OF
military service. - Mexican

Kansas Congressman's Views on
Wheat Gambling Made Public.

Lockport, N Y, April 27.-Letters
from Secretary Wilson and Repre-
sentative Charles r. Scott of Kansas.
chairman of the house committee on
agriculture, discussing the recent
wheat corner and possible legislation
at the next congress have been made
public by Charles z. Dickinson, presi-
dent FRANKLIN Mills company. Secre-
tary Wilson's letter follows:
II have your letter of April II and
am gratified to learn that boards of
trade are generally favorab to my
views and express the hope that we
shall be able to overcome the at
tempt of Mr.. Patten to create a
prejudice unfayorable to our reports
and methods
Chairman Scott said:
Il am just in receipt of your favor
of April %, and while other matters
are pressing too much to make it pos
sible for me to discuss at length the
suggestions you make. I wish to as
sure you that 1 appreciate them at
their full value. 1t will be possible
for congress to give any consid Grafton
to this measure during the extra ses-
sion, but I expect to take it up as
early as possible next winter and 1
shall take the liberty of using your
letter as an evidence of the senti-
ment entertained by the real business
men who are intimately connected
with the industry of growing and
manufacture in wheat. We will
probably have public hearings and if
so I should be extremely glad if you
could find it convenient to appear
before the committee personally"
