There are 151! of these and the bulletin fhows that the percentage of increase in the population from IS9O to 1900 was:; 2.5, as against 49.5 for the same cities in the previous decade. The absolute increase in the population of these cities from IS9O to 1900 was 4,559,L6, or S2.+2G less than tin- abso lute increase from isso to 1890, when it was 4,921.562. The 159 cities com bined have a population in 11)00 of 39,694,625, against 14.555.459 in 1890 and 9,933.927 in isso.

In ISSO there were but 20 cities which contained more than 100,000 in habitants, but in ISM) this number Irnl increased to 2s, and in 1890 to MS. The combined population in 1900 of the 19 cities of the first class is 11.- 795.509, as against a population in IS9O of 8.879,705, representing an in crease during the ten years of 2,916,- 701. or 3£.s per cent. The same cities showed an increase from isso to IS9O cf 2,567,4*2, or 40.6 per cent. The 19 cities of the first class com prise New York, which, with more than 3,000,000 inhabitants, properly stands by itself; two cities, Chicago and Philadelphia, each of which has a population in excess of a million; three cities, St. Louis, Boston and Baltimore, which have a populatoin rf 500,000 each; five cities, Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francisco, Cincinnati and Pittsburg - , which have a population of between 300,000 and 400,000 each: and eight cities.

New York, under the act of consol idation which became effective Janu ary 1, 1898, has grown to be a city of very nearly 3,500,000 inhabitants in 1000, as compared with a population for what was formerly New York City of a little more than 1,500,000 in IS9O, and of 1.200.000 in JsSO. The population of the territory now com prised within the present limits of New York was, approximately. 2,500,- 000 in 1890 and 1,900,000 in isso. It is the premier city of the country in point of population, a position which it has held at each decennial census since and including: 1790. Chicago, with 1,700,000 inhabitants, und Philadelphia, with not (piite 1.300,000 inhabitants, hold the second and third places in 1900, the same as in 1890, although at Ihe census of IKSO their positions were reversed, Philadelphia then having very nearly 530,000 inhabitants, as compared with not much over 500.000 for Chicago. St. Louis, Boston and Baltimore, the next largest cities, have not changed their relative rank in 1900. Cleveland and Buffalo have both in creased materially in population dur ing the last- ten years and now take precedence over San Francisco anj Cincinnati, which in IS9O were the seventh ami eighth places in point of population. Pittsburg also shows a large increase in population since 1890 and is now the eleventh largest city in the country. Among the most notable changes in the rank of cities which have tajten place in 1900 as compared with ISSO may be mentioned that of Seattle, which has advanced from the. 150 th to the 4sth place; bos Angeles from the 135 th to the 36th place; Dulut.li from the 156t1l to the i2d place; Kan sas City, Kan., from the 153 d to the 7ft h place, and Portland, Ore., from the 106 th to the 42d place.

John Sherman, who for 40 years occupied a prominent place in Ihe legislative and administrative branches of pub lic affairs in the Cnited States, died here Monday morning, of Drain ex haustion. John Sherman was born at Lancas ter, ().. March 10, 1523. liis parents, a 'few months after their marriage, moved <o Ohio from Norfolk. Conn. Charles Sherman, his father, was an EX-SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN, pniinent attorney and at one time a judge of the supreme court of Ohio. He began the study of law with his brother Charles at Mansfield. 0., and was admitted to the bar when 21 years of age. Mr. Sherman was elected to con gress in 1854. Mr. Sherman's ability as a forcible speaker soon brought him into prominence as a leader. On the slavery question he stood square ly by the doctrines of I lie whig party. N. P. Banks, then speaker of the house, made him one of The commit tee of three to investigate the border troubles in Kansas. During his first term in congress John Sherman begun his career as a great financial statesman. He was soon a recognized authority on finance. He was re-elected to the Thirty-fifth congress. At the end of tliis term he was again elected and was the republican candidate for speaker. A deadlock resulted, and to end it he withdrew his candidacy. However, he was given the ehairman s/iip of the ways and means commit tee, thereby becoming the leader of llic house. As chairman of this com mittee he helped to frame the Mor rill tariff bill, which was the first pro tective tariff law enacted by the re publicans. He took his seat, in the senate March 23, IS6I, and continued to hold it until his appointment in March, 1877, a3 secretary of the treasury by- President Hayes. Upon becoming a senator Mr. Sher man was made chairman of the com mittee on finance. As such, in De cember, 1862, he introduced the na tional banking bill. In 1875 he reported the bill for the resumption of specie payments that became a law in 1876, and as secre tary of the treasury in the cabinet of President Hayes he put it into force. He served as secretary of the treas ury during the term of President Hayes and when, in 1881, Garfield re signed front the senate to become president, Mr. Sherman was elected as his successor, and was re-elected for two terms afterward, remaining in the senate until he resigned to en ter the cabinet of President McKin ley. During the closing years of his ser vice in congress Mr. Sherman was the author of two measure of general interest to the country. One was the anti-trust law which bears his name and the other the Sherman silver pur chase act, passed, by congress in ls9o, and which was repealed four years later. In isso Mr. Sherman was a candi date for president before the conven tion in Chicago. His name was pre sented by James A. Garfield, who sub sequently received the nomination, after the long-drawn-out contest be tween the forces of Sherman and Grant. Again in ISS4 and in 18S8 he was a candidate for the presidency. In the convention of issg lie was the leading candidate until Harrison was nominated.

There yesterday all that is mortal of the former secretary of slate wa.t laid to rest with ceremonies that were impressive, yet eloquently sim ple. All Ohio contributed laurels to the illustrious dead and representing the nation were President. Me Kin ley. Klihu Jioot, secretary of war, and other Washington ollicials who arriv ed on the special train which brought the remains from the capital where Mr. Sherman died. The city was draped in mourning. Every business house closed at 2 o'clock and all the schools were dismissed that the pu pils might attend the funeral services at Grace Episcopal church, where liall a century ago John Sherman firs worshiped and where for years I; was a vestryman. Foraker Originated ,' e Idea. Columbus, Oct. 26. —All republiear campaign work was at a standstill yesterday out of respect to the mem ory of Sherman. All of the state of fices closed at noon. Gov, Nash, Chairman Dick and about 30 state offi cials vent to 'Mansfield to attend the funeral. It develops that the first suggestion that the republican party of Ohio dedicate Thursday to Sher man's memory came from Senator Foraker, the old-time political rival |of the sage of Mansfield. Foraker cancelled his for I hurs iday and the committee followed s;uLt. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER i, 1900. THE DAWSON OF TO-DAY. Conanl ni'Cook Hemerllien Ibe Change* Wrought 111 tlie Klondike .Tletropolla During Two Years. Washington, Oct. 25.—A1l interest ing report upon conditions in Dawson City and the Yukon district of Alaska has been furnished the state depart ment by I'nited States Consul Me ( ook. "'1 he Dawson of to-day," be fa.vs, "presents a marked contrast to the Dawson of IS9*. Then no one ex cept possibly the judges on the bench wore a white shirt. The town was Ihronged with miners, pack on back, prospecting for gold. The streets were mud holes. Now people dress much as tliev do in the cities of the I'nited Slates; a man with a pack on his back is an unusual sight, and one «an walk the town over with polished shoes and not have them soiled." Dawson City does not appear like a mining town, says McCook, but rath er a thriving commercial center. Ii is crowded just now, for more come in than go out. Electric railways are promised by 1901 and public schools have been opened and are well at tended. The output of gold has been in ( reusing in spile of the fact that the average values of the gravels worked lave been steadily declining, the rich est mines having been worked first. But meanwhile the cost of working has decreased, and enables proper ties to be profitably worked now, which would not have yielded gains two years ago. There should be a continued output of from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 worth of gold annually for many years to come if the ex penses of working are further re (l uced. PORTO RICAN POLITICS. Klval I'artle* Appear to be Hapldly Learning American Method*. San Juan, I'. 11., Oct. 25.—At a meet ing of the executive committee of the federal party yesterday it was de cided to invite the federals to with draw from further participation in ihe campaign for the election of a house of delegates and a commission er to Washington, and to urge them to stay away front the polls on elec tion day, thus silently protesting against the election proceedings. The federals charge the govern ment with partiality. A majority of the election officers are republicans. They were appointed by the execu tive council. The government is also charged by the federals with helping the republicans by gerrymandering certain districts. Interesting legal questions are like ly to be raised and the federals them selves may split into factions. It is understood that tin federal leader, Senor Munozivere, will protest to Washington. As yet no definite action has been taken to carry out the com mittee's resolution. Elaine'* Wreckage to l»e llenioved. Washington, Oct. 25.—The battle ship Maine is to be removed from Havana harbor, as it is considered an obstruction lo navigation. (!en. Wood considers that the removal of the obstruction to navigation has be come imperative. It is sinking deep er nud deeper into the mud of the harbor and the longer the work is delayed the more ditlicult it will be of accomplishment. Yesterday (ion. Wood saw the secretary of the navy mid after laying the matter before him in detail, secured the secretary's consent for the removal of the wreck. The work will be undertaken imme diately upon Gen. Wood's return to Havana, which will be within tlie next week. A Kepiibllcaii liarvcmt Home Featlval. Chicago. Oct. 25.—The Marquette club, republican, held a prosperity harvest home festival at the Coliseum last night. Twenty-live hundred peo ple sat at the banquet tables on the main floor, besides a number of spec tators in the galleries.

Ever since her arrival in this city six weeks ago she has been in ill health and at intervals upon the ad vice of her physician was compelled to rem lin indoors. Of late her illness has assumed a serious phase. A train ed nurse from Washington has arriv ed here and is caring for her. In the past two days there has been a change in Miss Barton's condition for the worse. She is daily growing weaker and alarming symptoms have developed.

Santiago De Cuba, Oct. 25. —The de parture of the provincial delegates to participate in the forthcoming eonsti tutional convention at Havana caus ed an immense demonstration yester day. They were escorted to the wharf by 12,000 people, of whom nine tenths were colored. The political parties are drawing the color line closely. The whites predict that the convention will last a year, alleging lliat most of the delegates will prefer S3OO a month to the establishment of a Cuban republic. Indian* Boycott a School. Duluth, Minn., Oct. 25.—The govern ment has built a $50,000 school house for the Xett Lake Indians, but the latter refuse to allow tlieir children to attend it because it was not built on their reservation. Maj. Campbell, the agent in charge of the Xett Lakers, Ims returned from a visit to the band, whom he tried to induce to withdraw their boycott, but without success. There is no law by which the Indians can be compelled to send their children to a school oIV the res ervation and the ofl'ciuls are non plussed. GO BACK TO WORK. Older Issued by Mine Workers' Officials. Tlie Strike In the Atliraiite foal Fieltlx ■« Declared OH'at All tllnen W here the Owner* Ajjree to I*ay u lO For Cent. Ad vance In Was«t. Hazellon, Fa., Oct. 20.—The follow ing statement was given out for pub lication hist night by President Mitchell, of the I uited Mine Work ers; "To the Miners and Mine Workers of the Anthracite Uegioti: Genllc mer.; After carefully canvassing the strike situation we, your oilier rs— district ami national—-have concluded Ihnt your victory is so nearly com plete that no good end can be served by continuing the sirike longer. The contest has been in progress for 39 days and ihe companies employing you have, with few exceptions, signi fied their willingness to pay the scale of wages formulated by the Scrnuton convention of October 12 and 13. "We are aware that some disap pointment has been caused by the failure of the operators in Districts 1 and 7 to separate the reduction in the price of powder from the advance in wages, but after a careful inquiry we are satisfied that each mine em ploye will actually receive an advance of 10 per cent, on the wages formerly paid. In the Schuylkill and Lehigh regions Hie largest companies have agreed that the sliding scale should l;e suspended, and that wages should remain stationary at 10 per cent, un til April 1, 1901, thus removing one of the iniquities of which you have com plained for many years. "While it is true that you have not secured redress for all your wrongs; while it is true that the increase in your earnings will not fully compen sate you for the arduous labor you are compelled to perform in the mines, you have established a power ful organization which, if maintained and conducted on business principles, will enable you to regulate many of your local grievances and make your employment less hazardous and more profitable than before the strike be gan. "The companies agree, in their no tices, to take up with their mine em ployes all grievances complained of. We would therefore advise that when work is resumed, committees be se lected by the mine employes and that they wait upon the superintendents of the companies and present their grievances in an orderly, business-like manner and ask that they be cor tected. "Your attention i.s called to the fact that the laws of Pennsylvania provide that miners should be paid eini-montlily upon demand; we there lore advise that each mine employe serve notice on the companies that he expects to be paid his wages twice each month, as provided by law. "The practical benefits to the mi ners which accrue from thorough or ganization have been so clearly dem onstrated during this strike that it should be needless for us to urge upon you the necessity of maintain ing your union intact. We trust, however, that those who are now members of the union will be unceas ing in their efforts to induce all other mine workers to ally themselves with the United Mine Workers of America at once, as it will be impossible for you to secure higher wages in the future, or even to maintain the pres ent. rate of wages, unless you are prepared to offer a united resistance if any attempt is made to reduce your earnings upon the expiration of the present offer. "As there are some few companies who have neither posted, notified nor signified in any other manner their willingness to pay the 10 per cent, advance in, wages and suspend the sliding scale, we would advise that unless the men employed by such companies receive notice before Mon day that the advance will be paid, they remain away from the mines and continue on strike until the com panies employing them agree to the conditions offered by the other com panies, and the employes of the com panies who have offered the advance of 10 per cent, and abolished the slid ing scale are hereby authorized to resume work Monday morning, Octo ber :?'.), and to be prepared, if called upon, to contribute a reasonable por toin of your earnings for the mainte nance of those who may be compelled to continue on strike." There was much rejoicing here when the announcement was made that the coal strike was at an end insofar as was concerned the collier ies where the conditions demanded by the miners had been complied with. The news spread rapidly and soon telegrams began to arrive at headquarters. The United Mine Workers' officials believe that all the operators against whom the strike has not been declar ed off will concede the miners' de mands by Monday. In fael it was said by one of the higher ollicials of the union that the statement was not drawn up until positive assurances had been received that the other com panies would comply with demands. No assurance, however, was receiv ed, as far as could be learned, from (i. I'. Marklc »£- Co.. which is the only company thai has not ottered an in crease of wages. A Serle* of Explonlon*. Washington, Oct. 26.—A series of explosions Wednesday night at the Indian Head naval proving grounds, on the Potomac, did $35,000 damage to buddings and material. A brick magazine, 25 feet square, and a loo loot wooden magazine, with a small photograph house, were destroyed, in the two magazines there were 30,- 000 pounds of smokeless powder, 3,000 pounds of black powder antl an un known quantity of brown powder. There were also 105 shells, togcthei with 25,000 rounds of small ammuni tion. A NEW ALLIANCE. Germany and England Have Join ed Hands. Tliey Agree to Maintain the Terrltor- Ihl Integrity of « litiia and to Keep I'ortn Open-It I* a Menace to Kuhwlu, London, Oct. 22.—Germany and England have formed an alliance to maintain the territorial integrity of ( hina and to keep ports open. All the morning papers dilate upon tiie hiyh iinportanee, of the Anglo- German The Daily Tele graph, which describes it as "tin; most remarkable success scored by British diplomacy since the Berlin treaty," says:"The circumstances of the publication show that it was initiated hy Lord Salisbury at the moment when an ill-considered call was made for his retirement from the foreign office." Although without such effusive praise of Lord Salis bury's diplomacy, most of the papers warmly approve the agreement and recognize in it a warning to other powers, especially Russia. The Daily Graphic remarks: "The agreement is the direct out come of Germany's isolation in China. She had found herself committed to ■I punitive policy without the support of the other powers." Washington, Oct. 2?..—1t was au thoritatively stated last night that thfe I'nited States government views with distinct favor the principles enunciated in the Anglo-German tgreement relating to China and that 1 formal response to that effect will be made at an early date to the invi tation extended to this government to accept the principles of the agree ment. The (ierman charge d'affaires, Count De Quait. had a conference with Secretary Hay yesterday after noon presenting officially the text of the Anglo-German agreement, includ ing the invitation to the United States to accept the principles there in recorded. Mr. May expressed his satisfaction at what had been done, saying he felt it.to lie in complete harmony with the policy this govern ment had pursued, p >th as to the maintenance of unc.ustructed com merce in China and the territorial entity of the empire, and adding that i formal reply would be given in a 'ay or two. Count De Quait was grat ified at those assurances, and left with the belief that the concurrence jf the powers was near at hand. London, (Jet. 24.—The oilicials of the British foreign ollice say the Anglo-German agreement will not af fect Russia's railroad concessions in Manchuria. They point out that the object of the agreement is the up holding of the integrity of China, Hong Kong, Oct. 20.—Advices from Lien Chan, on North river, say that American mission property there is threatened with destruction by Box ers, who have posted the following proclamation: "We have organized to protect our country and our homes and we rely upon one another to support the or der to drive out the foreign devils. They are mad. Their folly passes description. They are the usurpers of our land. They disturb our bor ders. "In all the provinces and prefect ures chapels have been opened and our people are deceived, ripped open and disemboweled while the foreign ers grow fat on the revenues of Chi na, insulting our oilicials and mer chants and seizing our temples and palaces. "The emperor is indulgent and per mits this. Who can foretell the in tentions of the foreign devils? Day by day they act more outrageously. When we behold the present condi tion of affairs our hearts are bruised with grief. Therefore we have or ganized our strength to destroy the devouring wolf throughout the em pire." The Boxers took he American Presbyterian mission buildings, but have not destroyed them. Rebellion is spreading along East river and North river, in the province of Kwang Si. It is supposed to be aimed at the overthrow of the Man cbu dynasty, but the reports are so contradictory that it is next to im possible to form a lucid impression. Washington, Oct. 20. —Minister Con ger has been authorized by his gov ernment to begin negotiations at once with the Chinese envoys on the basis of the points in the German and French rotes upon which all of the powers are agreed.*! pon those points where divergence of views exists the governments of the powers them selves will negotiate with a view to leaching a further understanding. It is understood tiiat the ministerial representatives at Peking of the oth er powers have similar instructions, but whether they have or not, Mr. Conger is not to be restrained. A Story of Torture and .'laH*acre. Victoria, B. C., Oct. 22. According to a correspondent of lite Shanghai Mercury, Bishop Fcmtosati in South T lonan was tortured for four hours by Chinese.

It was tile climax of the can didate's tour of thousands of miles fud his friends made the streets ring with their shouts of welcome home. "Hooraj for Teddy," "Three cheers for the governor!" "What's the mat ter with the next vice president?" were some of the shouts that greeted lioosevelt when he alighted from the train. At the end of the platform there was a minute of delay and a. number of women insisted on shaking hands with the governor. The party finally got into the carriages anil away to Fifth avenue. The crowd kepi up the cheering until the party was out of view. The governor was cheered all along the line and at the ni'th Avenue hotel the scenes about the station were largely repeated. While the governor was at dinner the crowds gathered in Madison Square. At 0:30 o'clock the fireworks display began. Kvery invention in ilia pyrotechnics! 1 line was utilized and some of the displays took the crowd by storm. Great set pieces of"The Full Dinner Fail" and representa tions of McKinley and Roosevelt were cheered vigorously. The democratic mutoscope on the Bariholdi hotel i oof was at work all the time throw ing mottoes on the Dewey arch, on the elotids and on the walls of the buildings around the square, but the lepublicans ignored it. Another feat i re was the playing of the bands in unison, directed by a searchlight and Ihe vast choruses singing. The governor reached Madison Square Garden at 7:5S o'clock. The audience stood waving flags and cheering when the governor appear ed. There was a great tumult. Bands were pi: yit'g hard to make their mu sic heard, but except to those imme diately alongside they might have kept silent. The applause lasted nine minutes. Gen.

Wil liam J. liryan yesterday concluded his campaign tour of N*■ \v .lersev. The »lav was a successful one in that the crowds which lie addressed were both attentive and of a fair size, but the majority of them were neither so large nor as demonstrative as those of New York. The tour was made over the Dela ware & Lackawanna railroad, the most distant point touched being Do ver, 40 miles south of New or k. Ihe other towns at which speeches were made were Hoboken, Harrison, Or tinge, Summit, Morristown. Boonton, Paterson, ISelleville and Newark, three speeches being made at the lat ter place. In reality Mr. Bryan's Thursday work extended into Friday, for he did not retire yesterday morn ing until about 2 o'clock, and one of the pleasant est occasions of Thurs day night was the last of the series. When he reached his hotel in Ilolio ken, after his carriage tour of the city, he found about 500 German citi zens awaiting his arrival. 1 hey ten dered him a serenade. The scene when Mr. Bryan entered the Kruger Auditorium in Newark was a thrilling one. '1 he building was crowded to its utmost capacity and when the candidate entered all those present began a tumultuous shouting. They did not cease this demonstration until Mr. Bryan rose to proceed. Then as if by magic the tumult eeased and all listened in the utmost silence except for occasional bursts of applause. When lie finished on the inside of the building he found on the outside a crowd ten limes i*s big as had lis tened to him within the building. He was comiidled to make a speech ihere and after that effort he pro ceeded to baseball park, where he made the last address of the night, closing shortly before midnight. To I'"ixlit the Nail TruM.
