CHICAGO NOW FOURTH
CITY OF THE WORLD

Washington, Sept. 19.-The popula-
ton of Chicago is 2,185,283, an in
crease of 4S6,7OS or 1877 per cent as
compared with 1,69S,575 in 1900.
This announcement leaves Chicago
ranking in population as the second
city of the United States and the
fourth in the world.
Chicago has almost doubled its popu-
lation since 1890, when the figures
were 1,099.85O. It's greatest growth
during that period was between 1890
and 1900 when there. was an increase
of 54.4 per cent.
New York Grows Faster.
It's increase in population during the
last decade was not so great proper
tionately as that of New York, the rate
of increase being 10 per cent less than
that scored by the Eastern city. New
York is yet ahead Of its closest rival
by 1851, 800.
Chicago, however, can claim distfnc-
ton in having jumped from sixth to
fourth place among the big cities on
the globe. It is following close on the
heels Of Paris, whose population by its
last census in 1901 was 2.714,068. Chi
cago takes precedence over Toxic and
Berlin by close margins. According to
the census taken in each of the two
cities in 1908, Toxic had 2,OS5.16O and
Berlin 2,040,148.
