POPULATION OF DELAWARE
An Interesting Analysis Made by
the Census Bureau

The Census Bureau, at Washington, has
issued bulletin giving some interesting
statistics concerning the population OF
Delaware, which, the bulletin says, ac-
cording to the census of 1910, is 202, ,322.
Compared with population of 1874, 7S5 in
1900, this represents an increase during
the past decade of II, ,587, or 9.5 per cent.
During the same period the total popula'
ton of contiental U nited States increased
2I per cent. The percentage of increase
for the State during this decade is almost
identical with that for the proceeding de-
cade, 1890-1900, but It is considerably
lower than that for any other decade since
1850.
The following table shows the popula-
ton of Delaware at each census from 1870
to 1910, inclusive, together with the in
crease and per cent. of increase during
each decade, in comparison with the per
cent of increase for continental United
States as whole.

into thoroughly so nothing could be

orteric Owners Threat.
Asked whether the trouble that the
Orteric had experienced here would in
fluence shipping agents in bidding, Mr..
Campbell replied he did not think so,
although he added, the Orteric owners
bad threatened that if they had to pay
the fines inflicted here, then they
would see that no vessel would be
available to carry the emigrants to
Hawaii. This, however, he did not
take seriously. The whole matter has
been left with agents, who will be able
tC make all necessary arrangements.
Mr.. Campbell added that he had been
working on the program drawn up in
1909.
Mr.. Campbell stated that he had
been trying to induce the Harrison
line to take up the matter of starting
q regular line of steamers here, but
nothing had been arranged under this
head. He thought that if this line call
ed here regularly, it would be an eX-
cellent idea. He was interested in the
fact that the Crown of CASTLE was
coming soon.
