Rev. Father Lucey, vicar of St. Jo- seph's Catholic church at Pine Bluff, spent a part of the week in Little Rock on work connected with the Catholic paper, which will be estab lished in this city in the fall. Father Lucey states that it is not the inten- tion of the bishop to raise a sufficient fund to purchase large plant at the beginning, but that he contemplates the editing of the paper here and hay ing the printing done at one of the commercial printing establishments in this city until such time as the bishop determines to push the matter of the company owning the plant.
 That the strike now in progress at the state house may spread to other trades is feared at the building. Late yesterday afternoon a man in touch with the work reported that he had no idea what the next move would be but was sure that there is no reason for a walk out of the men. He stat ed it was his opinion that the men would be at work again Monday morning, and that the trouble was the result of misunderstanding which would easily be adjusted.

Slxteen-inch guns for the army will
follow a successful test of 14.inch guns
for the navy, according to Brig, Gen.
william Crozier. chief of ordnance.
The decision will hinge on the trials
Of the new navy rifles. I'VE still have
an advantage over the navy" said
General Crozier. I'VE can build guns
more powerful than the toughest ar
NOR they can produce. The navy is
pretty close to the limit of armor pro-
lection, and we have by no means
built the most powerful guns of which
we are capable. The navy is now pro
posing to arm its new battleships with
l4-inch guns. Those rifles will be of
higher power than the army l4-inch
gun and consequently more powerful.
If the navy adopts 14-inch guns as a
permanent feature, we shall have to
meet this advance in the fighting
strength of warships. We shall then
Increase the power of our gun"
1t was only a short time ago that
the army adopted the 14.inch rife.
One of the new type has been COM
pleted and tested Twelve others are
now in the process of construction. 1t
seems probable that an entirely new
type will be adopted even before the
batch of 14.inch guns has been COM
pleted

DUR CIGARETTES IN CHINA
Consul General Charles DENLY Says
America Has Taught the Chinese
TO Smoke Them.

America has taught the people of
the Chinese empire to smoke ciga-
rettes. In report to this govern
ment on foreign trade by Consul Gen
eral Charles DENLY of Vienna in
which he described the class of for
eign markets which may be created
by American enterprise and then
supplied the consul general says:
"One of the most conspicuous ex.
amples OF such a market is the de
mand for the cigarette in China. Ten
years ago the cigarette was an article
used in China by small number of
people, chiefly foreigners. The field
attracted the attention of a group Of
American manufacturers who exam
lned into 1t and decided to introduce
the cigarette to the Chinese people
by American methods, The result is
that now the cigarette is popular
throughout the empire"

classes of fruits formerly imported in
large quantities. This applies espe-
cially to raisins, prunes and oranges.
Certain other lines, in,which local pro.

home consumption. continue to in

bananas, figs, walnuts. cocoanuts and

Census Figures.
WHAT THE LAW SAYS

The report on the population of Mis-
souri, just issued by the census bureau
at Washington gives Boone county a
population of SO,535, as against that
OF 2S,642 in 1900. This means that
there has been no increase outsidel of
Columbia.
Although the population of Boone
county is more than 10000, it's rep
resentation in the state general as
sembly will not be increased. The
section from the states statutes relat-
ing to the representation of counties
in the general assembly follows:
= The ratio of representation shall
be ascertained at each apportioning
session of the general assembly, by
dividing the whole number of inhab-
itants of the state, as ascertained by
the last decennial census of the United
States, by the number two hundred
Each county having one ratio or less
shall be entitled to one representative;
each county having two and one-half
times said ratio shall be entitled to
two representatives; each county hav-
ing four times said ratio shall be en-
titled to three representatives; each
county having six times such ratio
shall be entitled to four representa-.
tives, and so on above that number,
giving one additional number for ev-
cry two and one-half additional ratios.
Nearly every county in the state
with the exception of those in which
the larger cities are located show
decrease.
Where Boone county as a whole,
showed gain, due to the growth of
Columbia, several other counties in
this part of the state have decreased
in population. Here are the figures

reau:
