I I j More Men Than Women in the United : States, But the Women Live ' ' Longer. ! i . 5 Men are in the majority in the Unit- j j ed States to the extent of 21C in each i i ten thousand of the population, ac- i i cording to a bulletin issued by the ' ! census bureau. In 1890 the excess of j j males was 212. The divisions of con- j i tinental United States with the small- j j est proportion of males are the Dis; | J trict of Columbia (47.4 per cent), \ . Massachusetts (4S.7 per cent), and i Rhode Island (49.1 per cent); those j with the largest are Wyoming (62.9 j per cent), and Montana (61.1- per ' cent). A curious divergence of sexes appears in the returns for cities and ! country districts. In the cities having j a population of 2,500 or more in 1890 tfcer? were 6,929 more males than fe- ; j males; in 1900 this proportion had ij been -reversed and the females in' eit- j ies of thi^ size were 201,959'in ex- j cess. As against this change the ex- j cess of 1,519,559 males in country dis- j itricts in 1890 became an excess of j 1,840,280 in 1900. Among the Negroes | there are a few more females than | males; among the Indians a few more j males than females. ? About fiveninths of the immigrants are males. The excess cf males in the total j | population is offset to some extent by j the longer age of females. In the period from'83 years of age to the end ,of life the absolute number of females j j is larger than that of males, and also j ] .in the period from 16 to 25, althougn j ithe census experts ascribe the latter j superiority to tehsified returns rather i j than to an absolute majority. The '] ! .death rats of males in the registration : ! aredjin 19Q0 was 19 per thousand and ' i ithat of females was 16.6. "The -differ- j j ence in -the death rate is least be- i j tween the ages of 5 and 14, and great- ! est at the extremes of life. There is j a period between the ages of 5 and : 21 when the death rate of females is in excess of that of males. In spite J of the fact ^tbat four-fift'ns of the j child-births ^jpcur between the ages of j 20 and 30, the death rate of women at \ that time is smaller than that of men. j In 1900 the median age, the age which t I exactly divides the totai population, ; was 22.85 year3, an increase of nearly j seven years in the lasc century. The j productive age-group in the United : States, that part of the population be- ' tween 15 and 60, comprises nearly j j three-fifths cf the population, a larger i j proportion than is to be found in most ; I European countries. Nearly one- J j fourth of the population is less tnan ! ten years of age.

A BID FOR TROUBLE! < . . > ** , t Action of. President Ancnt San Domingo Criticised. "? |: BACON SEEKS THE-FACTS!. I Georgia Senator Introduces Resolution of Inquiry ? President Alleged to .... Have Overstepped His Au. \ ' . < thority-in Premises. .> ~ ' i ' - ' i A Washington special says: Senator Bacon, Monday, introduced a resolution of inquiry bearing upon the an- \ ( nounced attitude of this government j , toward San Domingo. the resolution recites the newspaper reports from San Domingo and the statement given out by Mr. Loomis, after consultation j with "Mr. Hay, and simply calls fcr the facts in official form. The object of this is to have the senate put in .possession of the inside | facts concerning the situation down j there, and particularly with reference 1 to the attitude taken by President s Roosevelt with: the idea of disclosing j whether the president has negotiated a . / treaty with the Dominican government j which is to be submitted in due form 1 to the senate for its ratification, as is I ^ renniror? >inrTcr thp constitution of all I i treaties,-or whether,, as has been re- i ported, the president is endeavoring to assume to himself the right to make 1 a treaty without consultation of sen- 1 ate. 5 It is the general belief in Washinig- ' ton tnat the arrangement as outlined ' is sure to involve this government in war, if not with the present Domin- ! ican government, certainly with the J so-called insurgents, who control a * majority of the ports of the country, ' and who are likely to resent any ar- 1 rangements President Morales has 1 made. i With this prospect in view, a good ' many republican members, as well as democratic members of the senate are ' of the opinion that any assumption by the president of the right to make a ] deal of this kind without submitting it 1 to the senate for its approval would ! be far beyond his constitutional power. ] The state department is working out 1 the details of ther- agreement touching i the administration of the finances of 1 San Domingo and some of these will be made operative within a month. Mr. 1 Abbott is. collecting the customs at. 1 Puerto Plata and other experts in cus- J toms affairs will be stationed by the 1 United States at Monti Christ, Azua.

The entire fleet 01 sun jjommso, i both foreign and domestic, is placed 1 at about $35,000,000. Rough estimates made by experts permit of the assignment' at the very outsef of at J least $1,000,000 per annum of the cua- 1 toms receipts for the reduction of the 1 foreign debt, including claims,while it is believed to be certain that the customs receipts will be largely increased < in connection with the general im- '< provement tbat is expected to follow < the tranQuilization of San Domingo, and the administration of its finances ' by the United States. Some of the ports of the republic af s present are practically in possession of revolutionary elements .hostile to Pres- 1 ident Morales. It will be necessary for ' the United States to place customs officers at these ports and to overcome any resistance that may be offered locally so, to that extent, the administration of President Morales is likely to receive moral support. $400,COO Cotton Mill.

The word was passed iround by the leaders to remain quiet "or "the present. Panic exists in the darkened portion if the city, caused by cutting off .the n jiectric lights. A trip through the fl tfevsky Prospect so far as the Moscow 0 jtat.on, shows all the stores and the o louses closed and the windows and icors barred, but sullen crowds of strikers continue in the streets.

The most startling feature in the situation just now is the news that ? several factories in Moscow have ** alosed, and that the workmen in the 0 Did capital of Russia are repeating the j tactics of their fellow workmen of the t aew capital, marching from shop to t shop, and mill to mill demanding that the establishments be shut down. The ^ wholi city is reported to be in a state j, of great excitement over the news of ^ the bloodshed in St. Petersburg, whick j. has precipitated immediately the strike that had been planned for a Later date. Moscow has more workmen and less troops than St. Peters- j( Durg, ana Desiaes is just now cue u<%n t 3f the liberal movement, and the dan- c ger of bloodier occurrences there than -v have been witnessed in St. Petersburg f are proportionately greater.
