CENSUS Of BRITAIN
TO Be TAKEN IN NIGHT
Army of EnumeratorS Enlisted
to Enroll Population
Tomorrow.

LONDON, April IA band of &c, 600
enumerators has been enlisted to take
the decennial census OF the United King
dom. The entire population will be en-
rolled during tomorrow night. Papers
containing sixteen questions are being
distributed at the houses, and every per-
son is expected to fill in the form at the
house where he sleeps Sunday night.
Enumerators will collect the papers In
the early hours of Monday morning. The
results are expected to show an increase
in population Of 100000.
The suffragettes are trying to ruin this
census by urging women to refuse to an
swer any OF the questions. For several
the streets wearing sandwich boards
placarded, mo votes No census" The
first plan was to have women walk the
streets all night. so that the officials could
not learn even their number. This plan
appears to have been abandoned.
Suffragettes Show Resistance.
Mrs. Pankhurst and other leaders have
hired a skating rink where they propose
to spend the night with as many women
as they can persuade to join them in re-
sistance to the information seeker. ]
A refusal to reply to the queries of the
census takers Is punishable by a fine.
The women had engaged a large theater
for their occupancy, but the manager can
celed the agreement on the ground that
the building was to be used for an unlaw-
full purpose.
The police will enumerate all home
less ones found wandering In the street
or sleeping outdoors. There are many
thousands of such. The Salvation Army
plays prominent part, having taken all
home. where they will be given soups and
provided with census forms.

U. S. Treasury Begins Month
With a Surplus.
INTERNAL REVENUE GAINS
Government Found to Be on Paying
Basis for First Time
Since July.

Uncle Sam balanced his books and
counted his cash yesterday and found
the government on a paying basis for
the first time since July /, 1910
The Treasury began business for April
with surplus of $780, 900 on all or
binary accounts. There was a CORE
spending deficiency of more than $16,-
10000 a year ago. Treasury officials at
tribute the favorable gains to rapidly in
creasing receipts fro minternal revenue
more than to any other cause. Customs
receipts have declined $13.OOOOOO, COM
pared with corresponding periods a year
ago.
With a working balance on hand of

to SSS. 10000 and the total cash in the
Treasury shows a gain of almost $4,000,
ono for the month. and stood yesterday at

amount ever held there. The piling up
of gold coin continues. During March
about s1O.0OOOOO was taken in exchange
for gold certificates.

Outside of the regular expenses of gov
eminent the accounts show a deficiency
of $1,000, coo. This is partly because the
Treasury has advanced during March
more than SOS. 100000 for Panama canal
expenses. which brings the total amount

Fl the long and notable list of dis

suffering during the past fifty or
sixty years-there are two outstand-

a special measure OF the gratitude of
the world. namely. Sir James Young
Simpson for his achievement in the
field Of anaesthetics, and Lord Lister
for the successful application OF his

In the days of his youth the Ken

faithfully performed this duty, the
duel never took place.
