It is generally believed that the mum

officials are known to share in this
general belief, altho officially they
know nothing about It.
This belief is based on the fact that
gain slightly in excess Of the 13,000,-
900 increase during the previous decade
would bring the population in 1910 to
the 90,000,000 mark.
About 800 Of the more than 1,S0t

All enumeration figures are counted
three to four times, and an investiga-

Of fraud has been discovered, and III

The intention Of Director Durand is
to tabulate first the population Of the

FAIR TRIAL FOR NEW LAWS.

Railroads to Cooperate With Com
meros Boards to Make Thorn EHsctive
washington, Aug. S.-1ndtcations are
that the railroads thr1out the country
will heartily Cooperate In promotns
the enforcement OF the new INTERSTATE
commerce Laws which take e1fect Aug.
IL. Information received by the aner-
state commerce commission IS 60 the
erect that while all common carriers
under the law do not heartily endorse
all the provisions OF the new law. there
AZ a dispositioa among them to give
it a fair trying out.
No member Of the commission was
IN the city, Chairman Knapp having
started on a vacation, so that official
comment on the statement issued by
the railroad men in conference at
Portsmouth. N H., is not ebtainable at
present.
The commission has, however, since
the adjournment of congress, held sew
erai conferences at which the new law
was thoroughly discussed and all pre-
iiminary arrangements necessary made
for its enforcement. The developed at
tItude of the commission Is toward
conservatism. Most OF the pew feat
ures were recommended by the COM
mission and therefore are in the hands
OF friends.
Meetings which representativ Of
various common carriers nave held at
Atlantic, City and Portsmouth, N. H.,
to consider the new law, develop that
there is to be no spirit OF opposition,
but that the common carriers and es-
pecially the railroads will cooperate in
giving the new provisions, some of
them drastic, fair trial, extracting
that congress will readily grant any re-
lief that actual experience may DEM
onstrate should be given in the way of
notifications.
Both the railroads and the commits
sion regard the power to suspend in
creases Of rates pending investigation
as to their reasonableHess as probably
the most important feature OF the new
law It took effect upon the approval
of the act, and the railroads have
shown the spirit of cooperation which
prevails by voluntarily postponing the
date when increases which We're in
tended to go into effect Aug. shall
become operative.
The Portsmouth conference of repre-
sentatives Of the common carriers
which has just closed emphasizes the
importance of the long and short
haul" section OF the new law.

SAN SEBASTIAN TRANQUIL.

Troops Patrol Streets Of Spanish Sum-
mer capital-conspiraey Charged.
San Sebastian. Spain, Aug. -S.-The
city continues tranquil. The troops.
however. viii remain In the summer
capital Tor several days
The governments rigorous measures
and the formal renuncfation by the
clerical junta of the threatened DEM
onstration insured comparative tran
guilty. From daybreak Sunday the
streets were patrolled by cavalry, In
fantry, and gendarmes. while heavy
bodies OF troops were freid in readiness
at Miramirs palace, where the queen
mother and the royal children are stay
ing.
The most serious incident occurred
last evening. when groups OF cfertcals
assembled, shouting death to spaans
Long live the pope!" thousands OF
persons rushed towards the manifest
ants. and only the Intervention Of the
governor at the head Of platoon of
police prevented an attack. Nearly lou
arrests were made.
The demonstration ended In many
amusing scenes. Priests leading bands
of peasants took to their heels when
they found the city in the possession
Of the military. The peasants were
disarmed and persuaded to return TO
their homes. In some cases the soldiers
were compelled to supply the pani-
festants wfthsfoo
Tho local authorities are convinced
that the clerical demonstration marked
a Carlist plot Cleficals are extremely
indignant at the governments repres-
siye measures. Cenor Udguijo. the chief
organizer Of the movement, declared
that the purpose Of the manifestation
was peaceful. There were to be no
speeches and those taking part were
to be unarmed., But, me said. when the
government treated the matter as II it
were civil war he had called on the
manifestation in order to prevent
bloodshed.
He. said that 1t was the intention OF
the clericals later to take part In peace
full manifestations at Pampiona. IN the
& province Of Navarro. and at Vitoria, In
Alava, to prove that the anti-cleriacl
policy OF the government was op-
posed by the entire Spanish people.
Even the queen mother Is bitterly
hostile TO It," ne added.
The authorities declare that tho
monks have taken an active part IN
fomenting the agitation, and 1t IS
charged that they have distributed
arms among the peasants.

yesterday afternoon, which has cre-

Residents Of Council Bluffs and with
In a radius OF forty miles Of here were
thrown into a state of excitement a
few minutes before o'clock Sunday
afternoon by a terrific explosion. The
disturbance was much more violent
than thunder and in a number Of
places had the same effect as an earth
tremor, vibrations in the police station
were strong enough to throw the pen
lulum Of the clock out Of poise and
several on the upper floors of the
tallest buildings felt the vibrations.
Inquiries by telegraph ond telephone
by tho score have reached the city,
some from asr far distant as Missouri
Valley a the north, and from as far
south aa.AaDburg where the explosion,
or whatever it was. was distinctly
heard.
In the residence district the noise
was suggestive OF the collapse Of a
large building, the crash lasting fully
two seconds with q diminishing effect.
Previously an unsuccessful attempt
was made to blow open the safe in the
Office Of the Grape Growers Associa-

a time was ascribed by many as the
cause Of the otheE disturbance. The
attempted robbery was one Of the bold

Great western passenger station and
across the street Is a row Of residences.
Two men disguised were seen to run
