Washington, D. c. - Gratifying as
Is the increase in the population of
Rhode Island as shown by the census
returns, the first given out for a state,
the little commonwealth will be dis
appointed in any ambition she may
have entertained to add to her repre-
sentation in congress. The increase
amounted to more than $4,000, but
this figure is not sufficiently large to
insure an additional representative.
Thus, for at least 10 years more, the
state will be compelled to get on with
two members as it has been COMPEL
ed to do since the apportionment I'M
der the first national census in 1890.
The fact that the figures for Rhode
Island were announced does not mean
that the totals for other states are to
follow quickly. The tabulation work
of the census office is not sufficiently
advanced to justify any prediction of
early returns for the states as a
whole.
Rhode Island was expedited for the
benefit Of the state legislature which
is to meet next month for the pur-
pose of redistricting the state.

BLAST WRECKS BALLOON SHOP
Plant of Zeppelin Airship Company,
Germany, Demolished.

Friedrichshafen, Germany.-The gas
works of the Zeppelin Airship
Company were demolished by an
explosion. Seven persons were in
jured.
The managers of the plant were not
present at the time, and the cause Of
the accident has not been ascertained.
Shortly before noon the gasometer
burst and the walls were blown to a
great distance.
Several cottages fell in ruins at the
shock, while other buildings lost their
windows and doors. The defamation
was heard for miles, causing a panic
in the district and even among those
residing on the opposite side of Lake
Constance. The neighborhood is
sparsely populated and chiefly by
those employed in the Zeppelin fac
tory.

FORTY PASSENGERS RESCUED
FROM TETsUREI-MARU OFF
CHINpo, KOREA.
STICKS TO POST
Many Others Who Take to Steamers
Small Boats Fail to Reach Shore.
British Vice Consul at
Osaka Saved.

Toxic, Japan. - The Tetsurei-Maru,
plying between Kobe and Darien, sank
Saturday night off Chindo, Korea.
The steamer had 246 passengers
aboard of whom forty were saved. The
others are missing. Warships have
been sent to the rescue.
Direct reports from Chindc state that
two of the Tetsurei's life boats land
ed forty passengers, who tell of har-
rowing scenes when the befogged ves-
sci struck. Six life boats were
launched, and filled with passengers.
There was no panic and everything
was carried off in the most orderly
manner
The captain and the majority of the
crew were unable to leave the steam
er.
Six first-class passengers were saved
including w. Cunningham, the British
v~ice-consul at Osaka, as well as thir-
teen second-class passengers.
One hundred and five third-class pas
sengers and SO soldiers were taken
off in boats, and there is reason to be-
lieve that these boats either reached
land or were picked up by the war
ships.
The Tetsurei-Maru was of 2,100 tons
register. She was built at Nagasaki,
and was owned by the Osaka Shoshen
Kabushiki Kaisha.

New York, N. Y. - r. G.. Dun &

departments of trade and as the lead.
ing markets are gradually relieved of
some OF the difficulties with which
they have been beast-crop uncertain
ties, price Inconsistencies and other
disturbing ~elements-a broader de-
mand develops. There is still much
idle cotton machinery in New England
and a two weeks shutdown is SEIZED
uled for August, but curtailment is
forcing a recovery from the low price
levels and there is less pressure to
liquidate stocks.
Some substantial business is report

duction in the Northwest continues

spring wheat territoryare less, numer-

stated, as stocks are generally very
low.
With a few exceptions industrial
lines are busy and labor well employed
in nearly all sections of the country,
making for a large purchasing power.
Except for a moderate reduction on
prices of wire products no new feature
has developed in iron and steel, the
situation generally rejecting the dull
ness customary at this season. In fin,
ished lines, structural material makes
the best showing, most mills having
sufficient orders on hand to keep them
occupied for some time to come while
several important contracts will be
opened in the nea future. Inquiries
are more numerous for pig iron, but
sales are not heavy. Prices of steel
are weaker and open hearth billets
have declined to $26. so, while Bessem-
er billets are quoted nominally $25.

of officers of the coast artillery, the

officers of the coast artillery here
gave as their opinion, unoficially. that
the explosion vas caused by the igna-
ton Of the charge before the breech
lock had been closed, and probably
was caused by the wind blowing down
the mouth of the gun. No official re.

TO FOUND FIFTY TEST BANKS.
Washington to Have One of First Pos.
tai Institutions.

Washington, D. C. This city will
have one of the first fifty experimental
postal savings banks to be established
under the postal savings bank bill.
The committee of government Off
Gals believes that one of the banks
should be directly under the eye of the
postmaster general so that the CON-
mittee may keep in constant touch
with its operations.
According to the estimates of the
committee each po~stoffice in the coun-
try will have to keep an average of
two ledgers, which will necessitate the
keeping of from $4,000 to 100, 900 led
gers, and the employment Of about
1000 b~ookkeepers.

RAILWAY RUNS DESPITE STRIKE.
Management Declares Arbitration Per-
iod Has Passed.

Montreal, Can. - The attempts Of
Mackenzie King, minister of labor, to
effect a settlement of the Grand Trunk
strike, have fallen through, at least for
the present, the Grand Trunk manage
ment taking the view that the time for
arbitration has passed.
Coupled with this announcement Of
the company that the time has passed
for arbitration, comes the statement
that the shops of the entire system
will be ]reOpened at once and that in
structions will be issued to agents to
once more take freight, and that way
freights will be put on, and the mani
fest freight service increased.
In addition, it is announced by the
officials that some of the former en-
plcyes who went out on Monday last
are reporting for work.
The answer of Vice President MUIR
dock to this is:
I'VE are perfectly satisfied with the
way things are going and if it is to be
a fight to a finish, | do not know that
| could suggest an improvement on
existing conditions from our point Of
view"
Despite Mr.. Murdock's assurance,
misgivings are beginning to develop
among the men, who see the positions
they once held threatened by the prog
ress the railroad is making. This was
shown at the meeting of the men and
the suggestion was plainly made to
the leaders that action was necessary
in order to hold the strikers together.
