IDAHO.

Idaho has more than doubled its pop
ulation during the past decade, accord
ing to the last census report. The in
crease is 1913 per cent, larger gain
than is credited to any other state of
the Union, with two exceptions, Okla
homa and Washington.
The report shows the greatest popula-
ton gains to have been made in the
new irrigated sections of the extreme
south and southwest, and in the mining
sections of the north. The greatest
numerical increase in population is in
the northern part, but the south-central
section of the state leads in percentage
increase, with a growth of 207 per cent.
The southwestern division of the state
has increased 800 per cent; the north
ern mining division is next with 50 per
cent; and the southeastern part had n
per cent greater population in 1910 than
in 1900.

CHINA YIELDS TO
RUSSIA'S DEMAND
viii Garry Out Provisions of Treaty
of 1881, Long Denied By
Picking.

Peking, March 27.-China is not pre-
pared to antagonize Russia completely,
and as a result of prolonger conferences
the China foreign Office Monday assur-
ed the Russian minister, M. Korostovetz,
that China would acquiesce unreserved-
Iy to the demands made in the Russian
ultimatum concerning the provisions of
the treaty of 1881. Russia insisted up
on answer before Tuesday.
1t is generally considered that there
was no alternative course, in view of
China utter unpreparedness for war.
Intense interest is being manifested
in the attitude of Japan, which is OBJ
viously holding entirely aloof, although
more powerful than ever at Picking.
While the issues between China and
Russia have been almost obliterated by
the recent series of ultimatums, and,
theoretically, insufficient cause for oc-
cupation exists, Russia apparently fears
that she could obtain only paper prom
ises which the Chinese would not OBJ
serve until inundated. Russians here
point out that they have less now in
the way of concessions from China
than when the treaty was signed.
Some sections of the legislation quar-
ter ridicule Russia for not following in
the first instance the recent example
set by Great Britain in occupying ter
ritory awaiting Chinese readiness tc
discuss the contested points. But il
is recognized that Russia, by failing to
do this, has shown that she does not
possess aggressive designs.
The Chinese newspaper, which are
utterly ignorant of the foreign affairs
are hostile to Great Britain, which they
accuse of beginning the present lane
grab, and they prophesy that both Jap
an and France will not be long in fol
lowing suit.
