Washington. Special.?The annual report of Hen. W. P. Merriam, J>irccf tor of tho Census, was made pubiic Sunday. Speaking of the prospeu of meeting tho legal requirement for th? completion of the four principal rc* ports by July 1. 1902. Mr. Merriani says: "The work of tabulating the returns and results ot the Held work of the enumerators and special agents of I the twelfth census has progressed with I reasonable celerity. Th lav; provides that the four principal reports sn.ni on placed in the hands of the public by the flret of July, 1902. and this requirement lias rendered it absolutely necessary to maiutain a clerical force adequate to complete the work within the piescribed period. The; statisticians made estimates of the time needed to lin'sii the particular branch assigned them. "The piano so submitted have been interfered with, owing to the ab.sere? of clerks from duty owing to sickness or annual leave. It was hoped by the first cl November a large number or employes could be dispensed with, but inasmuch as the work has been retarded owing 10 difficulty cf maintain ing the clerical force at Its maximum. It is not likely that there; will he any material reduction until after the first of the year. The officials of the oifico believe that their allotted task will he completed ia ample time." The director gives a l<st of prosecutions for violation of the law in connection with the census work, saying of them: "It was hardly to be expected | out of agents employed in the flolil worked, about 53,000 in all, that therewould not be -some who would prove incompetent and unfaithful **; duty. The Director has endeavored enforce the census net to the lette.-4and through the assistance cf the Attorney General has proceeded against all cifenders." The report includes detailed statement? from the different chiefs of divisions in the bureau. Mr. S. N. 1). North, ehfrf of the manufacturing division, reports that the work cf iiis division is rapidly drawing to completion. Speaking cf the success of the bureau's tvyo reports on cotton, Mr. North saj's : "This office haa secured from cotton producers, cotton exchanges, cotton !ac<ories and cotton manufacturers an ^ overwhelming approval of the services renaerea uy uicsc rep??MM. i am, fore, led to recommend that Congress pass a joint roiolution authorizing tne Census Office to make a similar canrasa of the cotton ginneries annually. Under its present organized system of machinery this office will he able to publieh this cotton report as early as the month of May or June, in each year, or three to four months in advance of their possible publication through agencies of any other kind. The commercial advantages resulting from these earlier, more accurate and entailed statistics as to the volume of vhe annual cotton crop are too obvious to be further dwelt upon." Alabama flajorlty. Birmingham. Ala., Special.?The re turns from the election for the ratification or the rejection of the new consiunuou lire um coming iu as rapidly as- expected. It wi'.l take the official co\s:it l?y each county on Saturday to definitely determine the resalt. Chairman Oscar Underwood, ot the Democratic State campaign com mittee. adheres to his claim of 27,000 majority, .and Chairman Shelley, of the ante-ratification committee, claims that he has a majority of 20,000. It appears probable that the majority for ratification of the new constitution v;i!l be about 25.000 mav bo as low was 20.000. but it does not seem that it will be less than that.
