HYDE ' MAY SUPERINTEND The Present Statistician of the Agricultural Department Likely to Have ' Charge of the “Fork. The Twelfth Census Not Like- ly to Include All the Classifications Con- tained in the Eleventh. \Vashington, D. 0., Nov. 22.—Al- though the appropriation bills will en-~ gage the attention of the House dur- ing‘the first few weeks of the coming session, it is the general opinion here that a bill authorizing the taking of the twelfth census will be under con— sideration before the New Year. This matter was put off from day to day during the last session and de- spite the urgent appeals of those in- terested in the work, no action was taken by both houses on it. During the closing days of that ses- sion, however, a. bill directing the com- pilation of the next censusand making provision for its administration, pas- sed the Senate and went over to the House. Speaker Reed appointed a. large and powerful special committee, with Con— gressman Hopkins of Illinois as its chairman, to take charge of the Senate bill. Before this committee c0uld be called together, however, Congress had adjourned. Chairman Hopkins has given notice that he intends to get his associates in session early in December for the pur- pose of considering 1the Senate meas- ure, and the chances are excellent for its passage by both branches of Con— gress is January or February. If this programme is followed out, the president will have an opportunifif to appoint the superintendenyand start the census work as soon as the pre- liminaries were begun about ten years ago. " - , The last act authorizing the taking of the census was approved by the president March 1, 1889, and the ap- pointment of Robert Porter as super- intendent was made on April 20. President McKinley asked Mr. Porter to take charge of the work this cen- sus, but he declined. . It is believed to be practically set— tled that the twelfth census will not include all the classifications of statis- tics compiled-for the eleventh census. There was no end of charges that un- necessary work was done ten years ago, and that much of the data gath- ered at great expjgnse was perfectly useless. ‘ There were innumerable divisions of the various branches, and many of these are to be dropped with the com— ing work. mé ' GEN. CARCIAIN NEW YORK. He Head? Comnlissicg‘dppointed to Give Pres (lxe1 t McKlnlcf Information, New York, Nov. 22. —L’Major General Calixto Garcia, until .recently comman-~ -" der of the Department of the East of the Cuban army, arrived yesterday from Havana 0n the steamer Seguran- ca, at the head of the commission ap— pointed by the military assembly. Three members of the commission accompanied Genelal Garcia—General Jose Miguel Gomez (not a. relative of Maximo Gomez), Colonel Gonzales La- nuza and Lieutenant Colonel J. R. Vil— lalon. General Miguel Sanguilly, the fifth commissioner, arrived in this city two days ago. The was a. great crowd of Cubans and their friends at Pier’No. 17 when the Seguranca docked. General" Gar- cia’s two sons, Captain Justo Garcia and Ezequiel Garcia, were there to meet their father. - \Vhen the tall form of General Garcia. appeared at the top of the gang plank the Cubans on the pier Set up a rous- ing cheer and the old campaigner re- moved his broad-brimmed soft :hat with a. graceful gesture. He no sooner set his foot on the pier.than-he was sur- rounded and embraced by a. score of friends and relatives. General Garcia. presented a striking picture. His hair and moustache was as white as snow, and his face is bronzed, bringing out into striking re—' lief the great scar in the center of his forehead, an honorable relic of the ten years’ war. He was dressed in civilian clothes, the only sign that his vocation had been one of war rather than peace be-' ing the soft campaign hat and a long overcoat which might have belonged to a. military uniform. A crowd of two hundred Ciibans, men and women, followed the general off the, pier. They did not want to let him get out of their sigh-t. "Finally his sons carried him off to his home, No. 165 Lenox avenue, where he will remain until he is ready -to' go to Washington. - . ' Anti- Cigarette Law Stands. Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 22.-—-The anti- cigarette law passed by 'the last Ten- nessee legislature is declared constitu- tional in an opinion given to the press by Judge Caldwell of the supreme court of the state. The opinion declares that cigarettes are not legitimate, articles of com- merce, becauSe they are wholly n‘ox- ions and deleterious to health, and therefore are not within the provision , of the federal dbnstitutidn protecting There are already a number of can— 5' didates for superintendent in the field, prominent among whom is John Hyde, statistician of the agricultural dc- . partment. ‘ I Mr. Hyde was a chief of division in . the last census and has practically en- tire charge of collecting the population figures. He outlined the system to be followed by the enumerators in the big cities and in the country districts, and planned the'classirfication of the re- turns at the headquarters in Wash- ington. ' Mr. Hyde is from Nebraska, and it is understood that he has the solid sup- port of the senatorial and congressio- nal delegation from that state in his candidacy for the position of superin— tendent of the next census. also been assured that he will be dorsed by a large western, senators and representatives for the place. in.. liIarsh “’ants to Plead Guilty. Philadelphia, Nov. 22.——The trial of Gideon W.'Marsh, the former presi— dent of the wrecked Keystone Bank, will probably begin on next Mon- day. The November term of the United States district courtbegan yesterday and there was a chance that Marsh would be arraigned to plead to the five indictments against him, a possibility that drew a very large crowd to the court house. There is no doubt that the returned fugitive dé’Sires to plead guilty if he can be assured of a light sentence, The maximum punishment for Marsh‘s crime is twenty-two years’ imprison- ment. The minimum is eleven years. If Marsh will consent to divulge the names of the men who profited by the Keystone Bank frauds and who have never been punished, it is possible that he may be let off with a light sen- tence.
