i
issued a bulletin Thursday, which
gives the estimated population of the
United States for 1903, exclusive of
Alaska and the insular possessions ot
the United States, at 79,900,3S9. This |
, is an increase of 3,905,814 since the

* has 531,313; Cleveland, Ohio, is now
a considerable distance ahead of C'n?
cinnati, which cities have 414,950 and
332,934, respectively.
Detroit, Milwaukee and New Orleans
have just passed 300,000 and Washington
is close to that figure.

The following bulletin was posted j
at the war departmen*. Washington. j
|
Monday:
General Wood reports that he invii- !
ed Sultan Taraca to meet him at Yfc- j
ars on March CI for consultation and J
that the sultan refused to come and !
instead made extensive hostile preparations.
Marching columns from
Marshut and Vicars left on the 2d of
April to assemble the cavalry. The
Vicars' column was fireci mio aooui |
ten miles from Vicars and one enlisted
man was seriously wounded. Til's
Marshut column was strongly resisted
at the mouth of the Taraca river, although
every effort was made to accomplish
a peaceful landing; two en
listed men were seriously wounded.
The combined forces assembled in the
valley on the 4th of April and a large
number of fortified cottas were destroyed
from April 4th to April 7th.
The troops then returned to their proper
stations.
Newcomb, Company K, Seventeenth
infantry, and Wampler, company D.
Twenty-third infantry, were killed.
Every effort was made to bring the
Moros to terms peacefully, but in each
instance our troops were attacked before
firing a shot and force was only
used when all peaceful methods failed
and the enemy attacked us. The two
chiefs who have been at the bottom
of all the trouble on the east side of
the Linao for two years are now in
hiding, and they will be arrested i/
possible.
General Wade, to whom General i
Wood's report was made and who
transmitted it to the department, adds
that the conditions in the Taraca valley
for the last three months had been
-snch as to render the above acticr.
absolutely necessary. ** *

the Japanese forces which have cross- j
ed the Yalu and the Russian outposts, j
The Russian pickets, in obedience j
to instructions, fall back when hard |
pressed by the Japanese. Several of j
these skirmishes have been hotly con- I
tested, and there have been several j
casualties on both sides.
It is no part of the Russian plan of
campaign to bring on a general engagement
at present. The Cossack detachments
which form the advance
guard have been ordered to harass the j

Seems to Be Plan of Russian
Officers in Manchuria.
A CONTINUOUS RETREAT !
Hope to Draw Mikado's Forces Far
from Their Base and Then Concentrate
for Attack in Overwhelming
Numbers.
The trend of advices received in
Shanghai, China, indicates that the
Russians do not intend to offer battle
to the Japanese. Everything seems to
indicate that the czar's forces are steadily
falling back as the Japanese advance
into Manchuria. Chinese coming
from southern Manchuria report that a
great retrograde movement is in progress
all along the Russian line. It it;
even stated that the Russians will not.
attempt to hold Niuchwang, if it is seriously
threatened by the Japanese.
The Russian plan of campaign, view
ed in the light of this retrograde move- !1
ment, seems to have for its object the !
drawing of the Japanese forces fair
into Manchuria, where no assistance
could be expected from the fleet.
Then the Russians hope to concentrate,
fall upon the Japanese in ove:whelming
force and crush them, in ,
fact, the Russian general officers seem- '
to be adopting the tactics which 1
proved so fatal to Napoleon when he 1
invaded Rassia.
Chinese refugees from Manchuria
tell stories of great hardships being 1
enduring by the Russian army.
There is lack of clothing, food and
equipments cf almost every kind. Hun- <
dreds of the soliders are sick, and the
hospital arrangements are so defective <
that many of the sick are dying for ,
want of proper nursing. _
The Japanese are reported to be
rapidly advancing from the Yalu river,
which they crossed several days ago.
The Russians are making no attempt
to resist, simply falling back as the ]
Japanese come on. If the Russians
persist in their retrograde tactics it
may be difficult for the Japanese to i
force a general engagement. - i
General Kuropatkin's visit to New
Chwang has inspired boundless confl- <
dence. The government has ordered i
1,000 reserves to reinforce this position;
while an additional force of 15,000
men is ready to concentrate upon
this place at short notice if necessary. ;
It is estimated now that there aie j
400,000 Russia* roops in Manchuria. |
General Wojack has taken over the
command at New Chwang, from Gen- ;
eral Kondratvitch. The preparations .
for the defense of the town are cdm- j

LEVEES ARE IN DANGER,
Wind and Wave Threaten Calamity
Along the Mississippi?Blizzard
and Sncw Gtcrms Rage.
Friday the Mississippi river at Memphis
registered 3Z.S feet, a rise of 4.3
'eet in three days. This stage is \ |
>-10 above the danger line, and prospects
now point to 38 feet, or possibly
|igber water.
The strain upon tile levees continles
to increase with the increasing
leight of the flood, against which an
inceasing watch must be maintained
light and day.
Captain Lucas and Chief Engineer
Pharr expresses firm convictions that
:he levees with careful watching will

lowever, are being taken to guard
igainst every approach of the water.
A number of streets in North Memphis
have been overflowed with backwater
from Fiyou Gayoso, delaying
iraffic to some extent, but no damage
las occurred. Railroads have expe
rienced no Interruption whatever, and
t will take a 40-foot stage of water to
give them any serious trouble.
Notices have been given to steamboat
captains passing the exposed
levee in the vicinity of Luxora, Ark.,
to reduce speed or keep on the opposite
side of the river in order to prevent
damage to the levee from wave
wash. The water at this point is high
upon the levee and is causing considerable
alarm to the inhabitants of that
vicinity.
The levees at Golden lake and Bradley
Landing, Ark., are under a very
severe strain and forces are at work
topping and strengthening them.. The
water on the Arkansas, side, opposite
Memphis covers the low lands to a
distance of from 15 to 20 miles.
Snow Storm in Dakota.

Nebraska was swept by the worst
blizzard of the year Friday and the

ANENT ANTI-JUG LAW.
Reprecentative Clayton Plies Favorable
Committee Report in House.
A Washington special says: A report
favoring the passage of the Hepburn
and Dolliver bill granting the
state's police power over original packages
of liquor shipped within their borders
as interstate commerce was filed
In the house Friday by Representative
Clayton, of Alabama. The report
says:
"There has arisen considerable misapprehension
as to the meaning and
purpose of the proposed legislation. It
has been said by some to be a prohibition
measure and by others to be
an attempt to deprive the individual
citizen of the right to have beer, wine
and other liquors shipped to him from
another state for bis own'use and enjoyment.
Neither of the assertions Is
true, as (we think) has beeu demonstrated.
"This bill is not intended to prohibit
the sale and use of beer, wine or
Dther intoxicating liquors which have
been uniformly held by the United
States to be legitimate articles of commerce,
nor is the measure designed to
abridge the right of a citizen of one
state to import from another stale
such beverages as he may desire for
bis own use, as before saying. The
purpose of ths proposition law and it3
sole purpose is to allow each state to
sarry out its own domestic or internal
policy in regard to the control of intoxicating
beverages within the boundaries
of the state.
"The sole effect will be to pe:m:t
the state, if it so wills, to circumscribe
the sale of intoxicating beverages
svithin its boundaries to the full extent
that it may desire to restra.'n such
traffic or to regulate rhe sale of the
same through the medium of its own
laws, including local option laws, high
license laws or dispensary laws."

USURPATION iS CHARGED
New York Congressman Calls on Members
to Assert Their Rights. ,
An Attack on President
Roosevelt
A Washington special says: In the
house Saturday Mr. Cockran, of New
\ York, spoke on his resolution directing
an inquiry by the judiciary committee
as to whether there was authority ia
the law for the recent executive order
relating to pensibns of age disability.
| The committee on rules reported an
i order directing the order to lie on the
table.
Mr. Cockran's remarks were the first
he had delivered since his entry into
the fifty-eighth congress as the successor
to George B. McClellan. When
he began to speak he at once commanded
the attention of members of
both sides of the house.
He said the resolution was offered
solely to vindicate the dignity of the
house. He did not, he said, question
j the propriety of paying liberal pensions
to federal soldiers, but he declared
that the basis of these payments
should be the laws of congress,
1 - ' "
"and not any seii-consuiuicu aum?.ity."
If, ho said, the president's order
is recognized by the house, "what
fragment of power is there left to the
house?" By one stroke of the pen,
he declared, the president had appropriated
$30,000,000, and he said it was
a matter with which congress must
deal, if it be animated by a shadow
of loyalty for the constitution which
created it. He vigorously asserted
that "we are here at the parting of
the ways," and inquired "if this order
be tolerated without protest by the
house, what power is there that the execuive
cannot usurp?"
After attacking what he declared to
be the president's usurpation of powers
of interpretation, he said that the
order should not be retroactive. Mr.
Cockran appealed to members of both
sides of the house to consider the
I enormity of this proposal which he
said affected the liberty and safety cf
the government. In h:s opinion, the
steady decline in the dignity of the
house had attracted much attention.
He said: "If yre cannot rescue ourselves
from degradation and decrepitude
into which we seem to be hurrying,
then we better leave the condition
to be lamented rather than to be discussed."
Tears, he said, belonged to women,
while discussion belonged to men.
| The dignity and power of the house,
hp maintained, were within the con
trol of its own members, "and," he
said, "it needs but loyalty on our part
to restore us no merely to an important,
but to a dominant position."
The congress, he said, had so lost
caste that today there was not a paper
outside of Washington that gave
more than one or two paragraphs
1 about its proceedings.
