dation of tho Masonic temple ln this city.
Influenced by the Lend hod carriers, the

ford to pay the Increase demanded and as
a result work on the building has been
suspended. The Elkhorn Railway com
pany Is having a Jt.000 bulkhead built

firms ae follows: 1S9S, 7T3; lS'j, 933.

The total number of residents, 17,193,
shows an Increase of 3,772 over U9S. The

Theo figures show that Ruwla made the
greatest gain in thc matter of residents,
Japan in the number of firms, France com
ing next ln the latter respect. Consul Fow
ler says that these figures do not Include the
leaded ports and that it must be remem
bered that In the case of Great Britain a
large number of Indians and Asiatics (chil
dren born in Hong Kong, the Straits, etc.i
are Included Consequeatly It Is difficult to
determine the true number of British In
China. Moreover, by BritlRh law. every
British subject Is compelled to register In
his consulate, but with Americans this regis
tration is optional Consul Fowler expresses
the belief that the number of Americans is
greatly underestimated.

tel tonight and asked what he thought of
the ticket nomlaated by the national con

good ticket. Roosevelt will make a good
run. I have grave doubts whether he would
carry New York If he ran for governor, but
there ts no doubt that he will carry tho
state as a candidate for vice president. He
certainly will make a better candidate for
vice president than for governor."

this afternoon Secretary Long at bis home
at Hlngham was asked If he cared to say
anything regarding the action of the con

be added:
"I want to thank the Massachusetts de'e

me and for thc earnest work done in mv

As soon as Mr. Long heard cf the nomina

to President McKlnlcy and Governor Roo e
