The Center of Population.
Our Hoosier friends have an un-
doubted right to point with pride to the
fact that within the borders of Indiana
is the center of population of the United
States, and so they have put up a monu-
ment of stone 15 feet high to commem-
orate the fact, and have had the monu-
ment formally unveiled with the usual
oratorical pyrotechnics, a brass band,
etc. It is said that 10,000 people were
present to hear the orations of Judges
Miller and Cumback, deSpite the fact
that the monument is twenty miles
from a town.
The various spots that have been the
officially ascertained centers of popula-
tion in the United States during the
century of our national existence have
been indicated from time to time in the
newspapers. This, however, is only
the second time that a monument has
been reared to mark the center. The
other monument is a few miles north-
west of Washington, and marks the
population center of 1810. The present
monument in Decatur County, Ind., is
about twenty miles east of Columbus,
and the nearest point with a name is a
little railroad station called Westport.
It is a good idea to put up amonument
in the new center in Decatur County,
and a good idea to celebrate its erec-
tion, but they ought to have taken some
other day than Sunday for the cele-
bration.

THE CHASE OF THE ITATA.
The Cruiser Charleston in Hot Pursuit 0!
the Chilian Vessel.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 14.—Passengers on
the steamer Crescent City, which arrived
at Cedros island last night, report that
when about ten miles below Ensenada on
Monday night the cruiser Charleston was
’ sighted far out to sea. As soon as the of-
ficers on the war ship caught sight of the
Crescent City they changed their course
and made direct for her. As soon as the
cruiser approached, the captain of the
Crescent City raised the American flag and
saluted. The Charleston immediately
turned at right angles and steamed away
to the southwest, and soon disappeared
beyond the horizon. The Crescent City’s
officers report seeing nothing of the Itata.
Mexico May Seize Her.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.—The Call has
an interview with A. K. Coney, Mexican
consul general at this port, in regard to
the probable action of the Mexican gov-
ernment if the Itata enters the port oi
Acapulco. He says Acapulco is a neutral
port, and he is confident that the Charles
ton will not be permitted to seize the Itata
there, but if the Itata enters with contra-
brand goods on board it is probable that
the Mexican officers will train the guns oi
the fort on her and seize her themselves.
The fort is not very powerful, but is strong
enough to capture the Itata.
The Robert and llIinnie Case.
Los ANGELES, Cal, May 14—United
States Solicitor General Taft had a long
conference with Attorney Cole and Mar-
shal Gard yesterday. Burt and O’Farrel
expect bondsmen to arrive from San Fran-
cisco. The sailors are in jail here, and as
yet no one has given bonds for them. The
examination of all parties in the Robert
and Minnie case has been set for next
Tuesday morning.
Chilian Arbitration.
PARIS, May 14.——The Siecle says that in
spite of the rupture of negotiations be
tween President Balmaceda and the Con-
gressional party of Chili, France, the
United States and Brazil intend to fulfill
the task of arbitrating the matters in dis
pute between the two contending factions;
that this task will be undertaken with
every prospect of success.
