The Colonies were less than two
thirds English, by racial derivation, at
the close Of the Revolution.
That other ethnic groups. especially
the Irish ana German, had promi-
nent place in the population is shown
by the final report Of five-year study
Of the Committee on Linguistic and
National Stocks of the American Coun-
Gil of Learned Societies.
The conclusions are arrived at by
analysis of family names appearing in
the 1880 census, but with much more
refined methods than have been used
in previous statistical studies Of the
same census. This results in q con-
siderable reduction in the English ele-

RAILROADS REPEAT
WAGE SCALE STAND
Unable to Go Further, They
Tell Unions, Because of
Business Situation.
Rv the Associated prees

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 1.-THE rail-
roads told their union employees today
that their previous offer on wages was
"as far as present business conditions
permit us to Co."
The offer was to extend the present
10 per cent deduction agreement for 6
months and then negotiate under the
provisions of the railway labor act. The
deduction agreement, made for one year
expires January 81.
Labor declined to accept the proposal
suggesting instead that the deduction be
continued until January 81, 1884, when
negotiations might be opened again be-
tween the employers and employees rep
resentatives. They suggested the deduc-
ton might be extended 2 months past
the 1894 date to allow for negotiations
Follows Note Exchange.
Todays reply came after an exchange
of notes between the railroads and the
brotherhoods at their conference here,
questions regarding authority and in
clination to negotiate the wage problem
The presidents note saying their
earlier proposal was "as far as present
business conditions permit us to go" was
regarded AS placing the negotlatlons
under a considerable strain.
Railway labor sent the Presidents
Committee a partial answer to the nYe-
atvn hyy
executives yesterday.
The brotherhoods asserted they had

ate to a conclusion the proposal made
by the railroads October IA, calling
for a conference to discuss extension
of the present temporary 10 per cent
wage cut.
Retort With Five Questions.
Making other answers so far as they
deemed the questions of the railroad
presidents fair and proper, the labor
delegates then retorted with five ques-
tions for the executives to answer.
There was no new wage proposal In
the formal reply, nor had the railroads
any new plan to tender.
Alexander F. Whitney, who spoke FOL

man of the Managers Committee. that

Representatives of labor refused tc

as to their power to negotiate changes

whether the carriers felt they would

duction in the basic rates at any tim'
during the life of the agreement, which

Collier Lists 126 Democrats
and 80 or More Repub-
Iicans for Bill.
SPECIAL LEGISLATION
FOR D. c. HELD NEEDED
Efforts Promised if Brew Is Legal
ized-Outlook Dark fer Vote
in Senate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

For the second time since the OPEN
ing of Congress the vets will go to
the bat with the drys Tuesday-this
time on the 80 beer bill.
The beer bill can be passed with a
majority vote and the supporters Of
the measure express confidence the
measure will pass.
However, there are indications the
vote may be closer than has been ex-
pected. At present Chairman Collier
of the Ways and Means Committee,
which drafted the bill, is counting on
at least 126 Democratic votes for the
measure, and hopes for 80 or more
Republican votes. The total. 216, would
be bare majority of the House. which
today has 429 members and vacancies.
The beer bill will not command the
same vote in the House that the reso-
luton proposing the repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment received, it was
said yesterday. A number of those
members who voted for repeal are still
unwilling to vote for a measure which
they believe may violate the Constitu-
ton. Others are opposed to the beer
bill since they fear it would mean an
immediate return of the old saloon.
Anti -Repealists' Aid Claimed.
On the other hand. supporters of the
beer bill insist a number of House men,
bers who opposed the naked" repeal
of the eighteenth amendment, or who
declined to- vote for the so-called
Garner resolution because no oppor-
tunity was given for debate, are willing
to vote for beer.
The passage OF the pending beer bill
through both House and Senate and
its approval by the President would not
of itself give the District of Columbia
30 per cent beer. in the opinion of
members of the House ways and
Means Committee and Of such
authorities on law as Representative
James M. Beck.
A separate measure for the regula-
ton Of the manufacture and sale of
the beer in the District of Columbia
would be necessary. Such q separate
forward once the national beer measure
becomes law, it was said yesterday.
AS the bill now stands there Is speci-
fic prohibition against the manufacture
Of 80 per cent beer in the States which
have laws against it, and the District
OF Columbia and also q prohibition
against the importation of beer into
these States and the District.
The bill leaves regulation of the sale
of beer entirely up to the States-and
to the District of Columbia. In the
District, Congress makes all the laws.
It will be necessary. therefore. for
Congress. sitting as local legislature,
to put through law specifically
authorizing the manufacture and i'm
portation and regulating the sale of
beer here.
Legislatures Meet Soon.
Forty-seven States enacted State
prohibition laws, or had them on their
books, after adoption of the eighteenth
amendment. Maryland was the sole
exception. Fourteen States, however,
have repealed their prohibition laws,
making a total Of Is States with no
prohibition laws. 1t would appear,
however, that all the States which de-
sire to regulate the manufacture and
sale of the 80 per cent beer would

It is not expected, however, that the
