Complete Figures for United
States Announced Today
MAKES 2O.5PER CENT GAIN
The Total Population of the Country
with Territorial Possessions Is
Nearly Two Millions
Larger.

Washington, d. G., Dec. l0.--The Unit
ed States census bureau announced at
noon to-day the completion Of the popu-
lation of continental United States is
9l ,O72,2 ,226, while the population OF the
United States including its territorial
possessions is 93,4O2l5l. The popula.
tion of the United States at the last
previous census was 76,303,3S7, the gain
for the past ten years being l5,66s,S30,
and making percentage of 2o5 OF in
crease.
Tacoma Figures Padded.
The population OF Tacoma, Wash, is
S3,743, according to revised figures. This
is an increase Of 46,029, or l22 per cent.
over 377l4 in 1900. A previous an
nouncement of Tacoma's population in
the 18th census credited the city with
s2,972 inhabitants, or IN less than the
revised figures
Director Durand is led with the Ia
coma figures statement claiming that
his original charge that the figures had
been padded to the extent of more than
10000 names had been substantiated BY
the recount.
As originally returned, there was
shown to be q population OF ll6,270. a
part of the city was reehecked, with the
result that population of s2,972 was
developed The people of Tacoma being
dissatisfied with these figures, Chief
Statistician Hunt OF the census bureau
was sent to Tacoma TO make a complete
recount. Director Durand claims that
the result is a complete vindication OF
his position.
1T shows conclusively,' says Mr.. Du-
rand, that the original reehecking and
Remuneration by the census bureau IN
August and September was substantially
correct and that the original returns
were padded to the extent, approximate.

Declares Postal and West

By Same People.

New York, n. Y, Jan. 22-Clarence
II. Mackay in his testimony before the
committee of the legislature of New
York, appointed To examine the ques-
ton of whether telegraph and tele-
phone companies should be placed I'M
der the public service law, stated that
the Postal company was the only COM
pany that had ever succeeded in COM
peting with the Western Union, and
that If the Postal company should COM
bine with 1T, there would never be any
competition on account of it being i'm
possible to obtain entrance into the
large commercial centers and TO OBJ
tain rights of way on highways be-
tween great cities, and the sum OF
money that would be required.
Mackay declared that the Postal
Telegraph-Cable company would be the
last competitor in telegraphy, ana
when that competition ceases there Will
be choice only between monopoly and
government ownership.
Mackay again stated that the Postal
company was absolutely free from
any combination, merger or understand
ing with the Bell company interests or
the Western Union.
