DOUBLE REVOLUTION
 THREATENS HONDURAS
Both Led by Men of Same Name But
 Not Related.

Puerto Cortez. Honduras. Dec. 10.- New breastworks have been cOu- structed here and Maxim guns mounted commanding the harbor For eign interests fear that a double revo- lution is imminent and from this on all foreigners will suffer unless af forded protection by the United States. PoIicarpo Bonilla is believeJ to be in Mexico fitting out aD> expo dltion to attack Puerto Cortez and Ceibs. and an attack by forces un- der former President BOnilla in a revolutionary movement distinct from that of PoIicarpo Bonilla is also feared.
 An alarming feature is that many of the troops are disloyal It is said that scores win desert at a favorable opportunity. Soldiers are hurrying here from San Pedro. Sula and other nearby points. The government has placed an embargo on cables making it impossible to send anything out by wire. Steamship lines are now the only means of communication. Some of the boats are fitted with wireless. the use of which the government can not prohibit.
 Conflicting reports have reached here from the interior about riots and clashes between the rival politi- cal factions. The POlicarpo BonilIa faction is active in the interior. but the extent of their strength is not learned. The government has order ed the arrest of Manuelto Antonio Bonilla. a relative of Policarpo Bo- nilla. but he escaped by sailing for Mobile before the order arrived.
 Sentiment on the Caribbean coast of Honduras is in favor of Manuel Bonilla, who is in New Orleans He is not related to Manuelito or Poli- carpo Bonilla.

AN OPIUM SEIZURE
 HEAVIEST IN YEARS CUSTOMS OFFICERS, WARNED, WERE WATCHING When the Minnesota Steamed into
 Seattle.

Seattle. Dec. 10.-Customs officers. searching the Great Northern steam ship Minnesota today. discovered s10.OO0 of smuggled opium It is the largest seizure of opium made in the United States in several years The officers were notified before the Min nesota arrived that she was carrying 29 Chinese stowaways and $25. 900 worth of opium. and consequently when the big ship arrived close watch was kept.
 The first fruit of their vigilance was reaped on Saturday. when First Officer Cheetham walked down the gangplank and handed a bundle to Dock Watchman Edward Robson. Customs officers seized the bundle found $40 worth of opium, and ar rested both men. Cheetham deposited $500 in bonds for his appearance and is now free. but he was dismissed from his place on the Minnesota. The Minnesota is the largest cargo carrier on the Pacific and it was possible in slowing the freight taken aboard at oriental ports. to leave space for stow aways and opium. A great system with headquarters at Hong Kong is believed to be making regular ship ments of opium and Chinese to Seat tie and San Francisco. using the large steamships because there is greater opportunity for hiding coolies. women and opium in the huge vessels.

ROBBERY WAS HE MOTIVE
The Victims Were Wealthy Woman and Three Men Their Fate Was Invited by the Woman's Distrust of Savings Banks.

Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 10.-The bodies of Emeline Bernhard, 75 years old. her son George, 40 years old, a trapper named Morgan and a hired man named Glen COttner were found on the Bernhard farm near Martin City, fifteen miles south of here today. All had been beaten to death. The four were last seen alive by neighbOrs Wednesday.
 Suspicion was first excited when the rural mail carrier noticed that the mail had not been removed from the box. He notified the neighbors and this afternoon a number visited the farm and searched the premises. In barn the bodies of the men were found in a manager covered with hay. The heads were badly crushed. All had evidently been dead several days
 In a closet on the second floor of the house the body of Mrs. Bernhard was found. Her skull was crushed.
 From the position in which the wom- mans body was lying it is believe by officers that she was in the barn at the time of the assault and after being beaten about the head ran into the house nd then upstairs and hid in the closet. where she died
 The sheriff is working on the theory that the murder was committed by a former hired hand with whom the owners are known to have had trouble oyer money. Mrs. Bernhard is said to have been wealthy and according to neighbors often had trouble with men who worked for her because of quar- rels over money
 Martin City is near the Kansas line and the Bernhard farm is in Kansas.
 A later investigation led to the be- lief that robbery was the motive for the murders, as the house had been ransacked and the pockets of the dead turned wrong side out According to neighbprs. Mrs. Bernhard always kept a large amount of money in the house. For two or three days people living in the vicinity say a stranger had been seen near the Bernhard farm.
 An d-fashioned clock weight found in the barn tonight was evidently used by the murderer. Tom Morgan, a trap per. one of the victims, was only r, and lived in Rosedale. Kansas, and had been on a trapping trip in this vicinity for a month.
 The peculiar lives led by the Bern  hards made it easy for the murderer to conceal his crime. They had little to| do with neighbOrs. When they wanted a hired man they would send to an em- ployment agency here for one. Arriv- ing at the farm, the emplOye would be warned against associating with the neighbOrs.
 Mrs. Bernhard placed little trust i'm banks It was her custom a few years ago to hide her money in the ash pan of her kitchen range.
 The officers late tonight discovered a clue that they hope will be of some assistance. On door leading to the closet in which Mrs. Bernhard's body was found were blood finger prints. They were broad and distinct, appear ing to have been made by a mans hand.

Dix was the next aspirant for favor, claiming his seat by virtue of a . ticket bearing an 70. K" by Charles F. Murphy. and because of his versa tility. but Miss Democracy insisted that the trouble with the democratic party for the past twenty-five years was that it had been too damned versatile" and Dix was thrown off. Judge Baldwin made an effort to climb into a seat on the ground that he was a great legal light, but Miss Democracy asked. What has law got to do with the democratic party? The republicans made all the laws. We are going to make new ones," and off went Baldwin.
 Foss had no better luck when he tried to butt in," for the best that Miss Democracy would promise was to look him over after he had gone out to save Lodge.
 Woodrow Wilson had his turn on the strength of being the national voice. but democracy said that what was wanted was a national silence" :" while as to his claim of O Virginia birth, she said. You shook your mother at an early age. Get off"

 The republican elements among the guests, while enjoying the tribula tions of the democratic candidates, had their mirth tempered from time to time as the hall was darkened for few moments while a projecting lantern threw upon the screen bulle tins showing how the tidal wave of democracy was sweeping over the one time republican strongholds.

NECK AND NECK RACE

Relative Positions of Government and
 Opposition Unchanged.

London. Dec. 1O-The first week of the general elections ended with both political parties holding their own. Five hundred and four seats have been filled and each side gained twentv-one from the other. The complexion of the new house of com mons up to date follows:
 Government coalition-Liberals. 1S3; laborites. 32: nationalists. 56; inde- pendent nationalists. :. Total. PTS.

 The cIoseness of the elections con- tinues to cause wonder. but with only 169 members yet to be chosen and the certainty that neither side will make important gains. the public IS fast losing interest.
 Thirteen constituencies boiled to- day. but the results in only five are known tonight David Lloyd George, chancellor of the eXchequer, who was most bitterly assailed by the peers and all liberals. was returned by his Welsh constituency of the Canavon district with an increased majority.
 Disorders are reported from sev- eral districts. Women engaged in electioneering were hit with mud and stones and the smashing of mo- tor windows became a favorite pas time

THE GROWTH EXCEEDING
 EXPERTS ESTIMATES THE POPULATION OF THE
 UNITED STATES. Including Its Possessions There Are
 1o1,1oo,ooO People.

Washington. Dec. 10.-In the United States and all its possessions the Stars and Stripes protect 101 100000 souls This official estimate of the United States bureau of the census was an- nounced today in connection with the population statistics for the country as enumerated in the thirteenth decennial census.
 In includes the Philippines, Samoa, Guam. Hawaii, Alaska and Panama ca nal zone Within its borders on the North American continent, exclusive of Alaska, the United States population is 9I,972.266 In the last ten years the states of the Union have had an in crease of 15,977,6 ,691, which amounts to 2l per cent over 1900.
 Since the first census taken in 1790 the country has grown twenty five times as large The population then was 3,929.214, slightly larger than the present population of Texas. The growth of the country has been greater than had been anticipated by expert statisticians, who have closely watched the progress of population.
 Director Durand in his statement says:
 "The states which show an increase exceeding 30 per cent are. with the ex- ception of New Jersey and Florida, all in the west and make up belt com prising third the area of the United States. South Dakota, Cobra do and Utah had increases of between 30 and 50 per cent. while North Da- kota, Wyoming, oregon, Nevada, Cali fornia, New Mexico and Arizona, in- creased between 50 and 100 per cent, and oklahoma. Idaho and Washington more than 100 per cent.
 The greatest change in growth is found in the three Pacific coast states and Nevada and New Mexico. all of which grew far faster in the last ten years than in the one preceding.
 The following is the population of the nine geographic divisions: New England, 6,552,2S1; middle Atlantic,

 The population of the northern sec tion is 55,571,155; the southern section 29, 3S9,3 ,3SO; the western section, 6,S25, S21. The percentage of increase by geographic divisions: New England I7.2; middle Atlantic, 25; east north central, 14.2; west north central, 12.5; south Atlantic, 16.s; east south central 114; west south central. 34.5; moun- tain, 57S; Pacific; 73.5. Increase, North ern section, 17.7; southern section, 1s.s; western section, 66.S."
 Mir Durand expresses an opinion that later statistics vii probably show that more than 45 per cent of the population of the country is urban, that is in places of 2,50O inhabitants or more. The population living in cities of 2,500 or more has increased much more rapid ly than that in the rest of the country.
 He finds that while there has been probably a somewhat greater differ ence between the growth of urban pop  ulation and rural population in the last decade than in that preceding, the diff ference is not as great as in the de- cade of 1880 to 1890. and in most of the earlier decades.
 The conclusion cannot, therefore be safely drawn that there is, in any broad sense an increasing tendency by the population to leave the country and go to the city"
 The director closes by saying: "The decrease in rural population in the mid- dle states is by no means due to lack of prosperity. as the agricultural sta- tistics of the census bureau show eX- traordinary increase in the value of farm lands and farm property through out this section, and will doubtless in dicate a great increase in the income of farmers when the statistics are com piled"

FORTY MILES
 FROM BATTLE Mexican Troops and Rebels
 h Close Proximity THIS ID BE THE TEST
Of the Strength of the Rev olution The Insurrectos Are Ready to Be Either Heroes or Martyrs to Mexican Freedom.

Chihuahua, Mexico. Dec. I0.-The federal troops and those of the in- surrectos. or "pronunciados," as they prefer to be designated, are some forty miles apart The federal sol diers are at Carretas. a hamlet off the railroad in Santa Isabel, west of here. Their location is known from several reliable sources. They are awaiting a considerable augmentation of their numbers to make as sure movement as possible. The revolu- tionists were tonight within few miles of Pedernalles. The Associated Press correspondent left them there at noon on Friday. after a three e-day trip in their midst while they were in search of the enemy
 Last Wednesday at Lajunta a call went forth from the 'jefes" or chiefs of Madeira, Minaca and surrounding towns for concentration of forces to meet the federals, who were reported marching on Lajunta. the junction point of the Mexico X Northwestern railroad. This movement had not been consummated when the advance guard, already concentrated. moved forward to Rosario. Again there was no enemy, and a march to Rancho, [. hamlet near Pedernalles, was begun.
 Captains who gave information as to troops. other than that given by the correspondent were interviewed separately or in groups of two or three. and all told the same story in essential details. It may. therefore. be stated as a fact that the insur- recto army now operating west of this place numbers 1000 men well equipped. The insurrectos are fully aware that other parts of Mexico are not in revolt. In an interview he correspondent was informed that the Chihuahua revolutiOnists regard themselves as the spark which may set the country in revolt IT they can win the impending battle. they de- clare that this city will be occupied and that in their belief this signal of the insurrection's potency will bring about a general revolt.
 We must win this battle or die" was the sentiment generally ex- pressed. In a speech delivered to the troops on Friday. when it was thought that a fight was only hours away, Jose Rochin. a Yaqui Indian by birth and one of the captains, speaking from the saddle, declared that the men must realize that they might be merely martyrs. but that their deaths would he a step forward in the path of liberty.
 They claim that they are not fight ing to place Francisco Madero or any one else in the presidential chair They assert that the death of -Por- firio Diaz is bound to throw the country into confusion sooner or later unless an honest ballot can be se- cured. They say they have to fight to save the country from possible anarchy. Madero is universally re- garded and he is the first choice. but he personally is not essentially a principle of the revolution. It is sig nificant of the regard in which he is held. however, that Viva Madero" was given out at the conclusion of Rochin's address.
