According to the latest official re-
turns. the number of inhabitants Of
China proper. Mancburia and the new
dominion is 312.423,o25 And as we
have pointed out before. observes the
National Review tChina), the esti-
mates OF China's population have al
ways had tendency to exaGgeration,
and even If lo.o0o,00o be added on for
Mongolia and Tibet the total IL far
below that usually quoted. In 1904
Mr.. Rockhill. then United States min
lister In Pekin. after careful inquiry
came to the conclusion that the mum.
ber of Inhabitants of China proper
was probably less than 2I0.000.000.
That would make the total population
of the empire something slightly under
'800.000000 II something he allowed
for natural increase since that time 1t
