STRAUSS MAY GO
TO ST. PETERSBURG

St. Petersburg-A remarkable com
mentary on Russia's new theoretical
law of religious liberty is presented in
the public announcement that the am
bassador of the United States at Con
stantinople, Mr.. Oscar Strauss, a
member of the Jewish persuasion,
"has received the permission of the
Russian minister of the interior to
visit ST. Petersburg" Even the am
bassador of friendly power is de-
barred from entering the Russian cap
ital without special permission because
he happens to be of the Jewish faith.
1t would be interesting to know what
would have happened had the minister
of the interior refused to grant per-
mission to Mr.. Strauss to visit St. Pc
tersburg, as he had the undoubted
right under Russian law to do.

2,185, 283 FOLKS LIVE
IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

Washington, D. C.-The population
of Chicago is 2,185, 283, an increase OF
486,708, or 287 per cent, as compared
with 1,698,575 in 1900. This announce
ment leaves Chicago ranking in popu-
lation as the second city of the United
States and the fourth of the world.
Chicago has almost doubled its popu-
lation since 1890, when the figures
were 1,099850. Its greatest growth
during that period was between 1890
and 1900, when there was an increase
of 544. It's increase in population
during the last decade was not SO
great proportionately as that of New
York, the rate of increase being 10 per
cent less. New York is yet ahead OF
its closest rival by 1851, $50. Chicago,
however, can claim the distinction OF
having jumped from sixth to fourth
among the big cities on the globe. II
is following close upon the heels OF
Paris, whose population by its last
census, in 1901, was 2,714,068 Chicago
takes precedence over Toxic and Ber-
lin by close margins. According to
the census taken in each of the two
cities in 1908, Toxic had 2,0S5, 100 and
Berlin 2,04O,149.
