shington.-Careful, though unof-
fetal analysis of the returns from the
thirteenth census on cities thus far
announced reveals that the increased
rate of urban growth for the last dec
ade over that of 1890 to 1900 has been
confined largely to places having a
population of less than $4,000. While
universally there has been healthy
increase in a large majority of cities
exceeding $4,000, the rate of the pre-
vious decade has not been maintained
In no instance so far has an actual
loss OF population been shown and
present comparisons are only on the
rate Of growth.

rats and squirrels the bubonic plague.
And the latest announcement is that the

they stood, one falling out occasionally
until at last all were down except Miss

five of the Dry Greek girls. Then came
the features of the evening. Notwithstand-

round after round spelling half the words
just as if it were on ordinary affair. But
finally she went down, leaving five of her
opponents on the floor. Those standing
were Misses Jessie Harper, Ruby Loflin,

Forty-Sixth Bailot.

CHOICC oo
Three ballots were taken for United
States senator, one more than has eve:
been taken at a single session so far
at the Democratic caucus last night
and the above tells tie story.
After a five days recess, and trip
to Mardi Gras, very little change was
noticed in the complexion IF the scna-
torial situation, there being, on the
whole, mot much gaic or loss. although
there were noteworthy, and significant
incidents in each ballot.
With the expectancy that something
was bound to occur, the report had again
been industriously passed from mouth to
mouth, that something would be doing, u
the galleries were filled to OVERLOOKING
and there were about IS per cent more
people on the main floor than usual.
AS far as the legislative attendance
was concerned it was away beyond the
expectations of the most sanguine, and
only six absentees were noted. These
being Senator'S Key, and Rowan; Repres-
entatives Love, Sullivant and Valentine.
One hundred and seventyfive votes were
cast on the first ballot; TIA on the second
and the same on the third.
Those who expected to see a break in the
senatorial deadlock last night were DOOM
ed to disappointment, the result of the
three ballots showing that the several can
didates are just about holding their own
only that Mr.. Leroy Percy gained several
votes, and quit for the night with total
of fify-one the highest vote that he has
ever polled.
Naturally, the friends of Mr.. Percy
were elated. 1t had been expected and
predicted that he would go to fifty last
night but there were few, if any of his
friends, who expected him to score quite
as high as he did,
The friends of Mr.. Vardaman, who
held caucus yesterday afternoon in the
senate chamber, had an idea that he was
going to climb up into the eighties, but
the best that he could do was to crawl back
to his former notch of 70 on the second
ballot of the night, and then he lost an
even half dozen and ended the night with
only u to his credit
1t is noticeable that Mr.. Byrd's vote
is persistently and constantly at and
around ~, though he went to IS on the
second ballot
Mr.. Kyle began the night with 20
and ended with "a, showing that he is
growing gradually but steadily in favor.
The prognosticators were very busy
after the caucus last night, and give il
as their opinion that the end is drawing
nigh. The public hopes so.
