POPULATION MAY
Be 100000
RETURNS FROM TWO STATES IN
dictate THIS PROPORTION
OF GAIN.

| Washington, D. c., Aug. 22.-Up to
date, the full population of only two
states, Rhode Island and Oklahoma,
one east and the other west, has been
announced. The increase in Oklahoma
amounting to 100 per cent over the
population of the same area in 1900, is
phenomenal, and is no indication of
the rate of growth either in the west
or in the country at large. That of
Rhode Island, on the other hand. is
more characteristic of natural growth
in other sections similarly situated.
Still, Rhode Island, with her 1855
per cent O.. gain is believed to be con-
siderably above the average. If the
Rhode Island increases should be
maintained the country would show a
| total of about 96,OO0,0OO people,
whereas only above 9o,O00,o0O are
counted upon;
st. Louis Shows Gain.
The census bureau has announced
the population of st. Louis, and in
terest in the growth of cities now will
| center on the showing to be made by
Boston.
For many years there has been
close rivalry between the Hub and the
Mississippi river metropolis, and the
question of which is fourth in size in
the United States depends on the
growth of the Massachusetts city in
the last ten years.
st. Louis now has population OF
687 ,029, an increase of 11791, or 1874
per cent as compared to 575, 238 in 1900.
In 1880 st. Louis was the fifth city
and Boston fourth st. Louis then had
350,51S, which was 10000 less than
Boston. Between 1880 and 1890 II
passed the latter, being 5000 ahead in
1890 In 1900 it led Boston by $4,000.
Boston is the only city that stands a
chance of dislodging ST. Louis from
fourth place, but observers here are
inclined to believe the two cities will
maintain their relative rank in the
1910 census.
The cities that outranked st. Louis
in the 1900 census were New York,
Chicago and Philadelphia.
Detroit has shown the largest per-
centage of growth, increasing from
2S5, 704 in 1900 to 465,766 in 1910.
The population of Atlanta, Ga, is
154,839, an increase of 64,967, or 1913
per cent, as compared with S9,S72
in 1900.
The population of Waterbury, Conn,
is 1914, an increase of 1922, or 59.5
per cent, as compared with 45,859
in 1900

the Pacific coast of Nicaragua rem
ders for the present impossible
the confirming Of reports that
Managua has fallen and that
Estrada, the titular head of the
revoIutionist faction, has assumed
the presidency of the republic.
There seems no doubt, however,
as to the recent defeat Of the gov
eminent forces at Panaloya on the
Tipitapa river and the subsequent
capture Of Granada by the revo-
lutionists.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 22.-The
provisional government of Nicaragua
is lettering to its fall, the Madriz army
is demoralized, CONSERVATION reigns
in Managua and DR., Madriz, his gen
eral-in- chief, Toledo, and DR.. Irias are
preparing to flee the country. This in
effect is the advice to the state de
partment from United States Consul
Olivares at Managua, which adv1ces
were confirmed by dispatches in sim.
liar vein from United States Consul
Johnson at CorintO.
The panic in the capital also is
the lives and property Of
Americans. Crowds are reported trav
ersing the streets crying, Death tc
the Yankees" while the cruisers
vicksburg and Yorktown are at Co
rinto and in close. touch with the stu
alton. The legation and consulates In
Managua are under heavy guard and
have been made to meet
attacks on American lives or prop.
erty.
Rebels Rout F-derals.
The situation grew out Of the vic.
tory by the Estradan troops Thursday
when the revolutionists defeated q
strong column of government troops
and crossed the Tipitapa river.
The rout of the government army
seems to have been complete. Consul
Olivares reports that General Toledo
arrived the day following his defeat
and announced his force had fed in
panic when attacked. Some of the
soldiers made their way to Granada
while others continued their flight to
tie capital itself.
Granada also appears to be at the
mercy of an undisciplined mob of sol.
diery, who are reported to be pillaging
the houses.
