M ‘.__~..n PREPARING FOR CENSUS Believed That the Bill Will“ Soon Be Taken Up. HYDE MAY SUPERINTEND The Present Statistician of the Agricultural Department Likely to Have Charge of I the ‘York. The Twelfth Census Not Like- I y to Include All the Classifications Con- tained in the Eleventh. \Vashington, D. C., NOV. 22.—A1- 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 cf 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- pill-tion of the next census and making provision for its administration, pas- _ 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 could be called together, however, Congress had adjourned. Chairman Hopkins has given not-ice that he intends to get his associates in session early in December for the pur- pose of considering the Senate meas- ure, and the chances are excellent for its passage by both branches of Con-* gress in January or February. If this programme is followed out, the president will have an opportunity to appoint the superintendent and 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 expense was perfectly useless. _... - , ' ' There were innumerable divisions of the various branches, and many of these are to be dropped with the com- ing work. There are already a number of can~ didates for superintendent in the field, prominent among whom is John Hyde, statistician of the agricultural partment. 1.2 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 classification of the re- de- ' . remain until ’73‘ t GEN. GARCIAIN NEW YORK. He Heads a Commissl President McKlnl ' ”'Informationkv New York, Nov. 22.—-—Major General Calixto Garcia, until recently comman- the Cuban army, arrived yesterday from Havana on the steamer Seguran- ca, at the head of the commission ap- pointed by the military assembly. Three members of the commission 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. There 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. When 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 Cubans, men and women, followed the general off the pier. They did not want to let him get out of their sight. Finally his sons carried him off to his home, No. 165 Lenox avenue, where he will he is ready to go to Washington. ‘ .-.. ,._ . .r "Mia-suns.-. ' 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- ious and deleterious to health, and. therefore are not within the provision of the federal constitution protecting legitimate commerce.

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 court began 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 desires 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. A Fire Thirteen Miles Long. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 22.—A special from Macomb, M0., says: The largest and most destructive confiagration that has swept the Ozark mountains since 1884 is now clrcumscribing this town for miles north of and parallel with the Memphis railroad. The autumn heavy foliage has rap- idly fallen since frost and the fire is supposed to have been started from sparks from freight engines yesterday afternoon. A scope of country thirteen miles long is in flames, miles of fences, or- chards, plantations, farms and dry pasture fields, stocked with cattle and other animals,'and many old settlers' homes lie directly in the path of the fire. The residents find themselves to- tally upable to check the spread of the flames. . For a New Silk Plant. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 22.——The silk firm of J. B.

J "" l l I De- ' A BOON T0 MOTHERS. If Any Norwalk Mother Has Looked for . This, Follow‘ This Advice. u... Wherever we go and among all class- es, we find children suffering from weak kidneys. The intelligent mother knows that. this is not a. habit and searches for a remedy. It is something very hard to cure, and the family phy- sician tells her that the child will out- grow it in time. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they do not. In the meantime, annoyance and embarrass- ment. is the result. If anyone knows a. remedy, is it not an act. of charity, is it; not a duty to make it public ? Should selfishness or pride keep it concealed ‘? Mrs. Nellie Dunn of Winter and Fourth streets, Aosonia, Ct., has used Doan’sKidney Pills in her family and makes the followmg statement for the benefit of anxious mothers and the re- lief of interesting little children. Mrs. Dunn says: “I have a. little boy of eleven years of age that was very much troubled with weak kidneys. When he was six years old he would go in bathing frequently and remain in for a. long time. That was when I first noticed any difficulty with his kidneys, but he got so that he would wet the bed every night. I have taken him up at eleven o’clock, but it. would occur two or three times before morning. This caused me any amount. of work and I was not strong, besides I knew that it should not. be neglected, yet we got nothing to relieve him. Finally I read somewhere that Doau’s Kidney Pills would prevent such occurrences and I procured them from adrug store. They have really been the means of strength- ening the kidneys of the child, and preventing the nocturnal urination». I am very grateful to Doan’s Kidney Pills and I hartilyorecommeud them to any mother having a child so afflict- ed. They will relieve the mother of an enormous amount of work, the child of much embarrassment, besides per- forming a duty the parent owes the child to prevent it from growing up with weak kidneys.” Doan’s Pills for sale by all deal- ers.

C., Niv. 22.—The war department has definitely given up its purpost of starting the army of oc- cupation off to Cuba. this Week. The trouble is lack of transports. This seems to dispose of any chance of the. transfer of formal possession of the island on December 1, but it is believ- ed that New Year’s Day will see all Cuba under the flag of the United States. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 2.-The war department has found that it is im- practicable to occupy Cienfuegos be- fore the first of January next, and Ma- jor General ‘Wilson, commanding the First Corps, which was designated to occupy Cienfuegos, has been directed to make such disposition of Ithe troops that were about to sail as in his judg- ment will best serve the interests of the army. A short,time ago a. brigade under command of General Snyder was or- dered to be placed in readiness for im- mediate service, and occupation at Cienfuegos. - Since that time it has been found that there are now nineteen thousand Spanish troops at Cienfuegos, and that more Spanish troops are to be sent there; that the Spanish garrison can- not be removed in time for occupancy by the American troops on or about December 1. This was the date originally fixed when General Snyder should go to Ci— enfuegos. Besides the nineteen thousand troops originally at this place, it has been found necessary to send a large num- ber of troops from Havana on account of the disturbances and mutiny which have taken place. The preparations thus far made do not indicate that the United States authorities are in any great hurry about sending troops to Cuba. No ships for transports have been assembled at Savannah, and no or- ders have been issued for the quarter- master’s department to send transports to southern points for the embarkation of troops to Cuba. CLOSED DOOR IN PORTO RICO. Expressions of British and Canadian Disap- polntmentl. London, Nov. 22.-—-Ottawa cablegrams speak of the keen Canadian' disap- pointment at the news that the estab- lishment of American authority over Porto Rico has been followed by the adoption of what is called a “mediae- val navigation law." This disappointment is fully shared here among the warmest friends of Anglo-American co-operatlon. There is the highest reason for re- peating that an American expansion which means hidebound protectionism in American colonies has no attrac- tions, but quite the reverse, for the great bulk of Englishmen. Such methods must effectually kill that Anglo-American alliance of which the British ministers have made them- selves warm advocates. No responsible, seriously minded En- glishman will support an alliance so- contrary to English traditions and po- litical and commercial freedom. The Much-Kissed Mate. New York, Nov. 22.~—Osborne W. Deignan, chief boatswain’s mate on the ' auxiliary cruiser Resolute, has return— ed from his trip to his native place of Stewart, Ia. He confirms the story that when he arrived at Stewart there were two hundred yound ladies lined up to kiss him. He survived the ordeal and was present at a banquet given in his ban,- or at Des Moines. A resolution was unanimously ap- proved at the dinner to the effect that the state officers, many of whom at- tended the dinner, endeavor :to get Deignan an appointment to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and that twi thousand dollars be appropriated to at- tain that end. There may be some difficulty in this, as Deignan is twenty-one years old, while the. age limit for entrance into the academy is nineteen years. On this occasion Delgnan presented his boatswain’s whistle -to the club. Will \Velcome Our Fleet. London, Nov. 22,—In consequence of rumors that an American squadron of warships is to visit Portsmouth, the mayor of that place has written to the United States embassy promising a cordial welcome. Mr. Henry W'hite, United States charge d’affaires, thanked the mayor of Portsmouth for his courteous letter, which, he said, he will not fail to transmit to Washington. Mr. ‘White, however, added: “I have not yet received information of the visit, but my government will not fail ,to be gratified by the knowledge that such a welcome awaits our squadron in the event it comes.” Dawes Treaty Rejected.
