Admiral Walker continued hla testimony before th senate committee on lnter-oceanlo canal today, and Colonel Haupt, another member of th Isthmian, Canal commission, 1 to be heard Monday next. The examination today waa with refer ence to the reason why the canal com mission changed Its recommendations from the Nicaragua to the Panama rout. Tha reason . given by th witness for this change, summed up, ar that th Panama route 1 much shorter and It has . fewer curvea and that those curves which do exist ar not so sharp aa the curve la the Nicaragua route. He also said bo be lleved that with proper quarantine reguhv tlona th health conditions of the region along th Panama Una could be much 1m proved. He did not consider tha present condition from a health point of view a bad. The question bringing out these points were asked largely by Senator Hanna, who also mad Inquiries concerning th water supply for th Panama canal and th diffi culties In th way of constructing a dam at Bohlo. With reference to th dam Ad mlral Walker said he ha no doubt that the engineering difficulties could be over come and ho also expressed th opinion that th water supply would be ample. He stated, in reply to questlona by other senator, that on of th curves In tb Panama waterway would be quit aharp, but he wa of the opinion that steam ves sel would be able to round It. He also said that tb harbor at Panama could be maintained at a nominal cost. Senator Morgan questioned th witness at length with reference to th commls slon's Investigation of ths power of th new Panama company to transfer the prop erty and give clear title. In reply to all th question on 'this line Admiral Walker said he had been satisfied In a general way that th new Panama Canal company would be capable of passing th property to the United States with acceptable title, but that he wa not a lawyer and that he felt satisfied. In case th recommendation of ths commission to accept th Panama rout should be favorably acted upon by congress, th president would b assured by competent legal advice of ths genuine ness of th title before accepting the transfer. Ws only recommended th Panama rout as practicable and feasible," he said by which we meant that w considered th engineering proposition as practicable and th diplomats negotiation a feasible He said he had no negotiation with M Lampre, secretary general of tb new Fan mi company, beyond receiving tb propo sition for sal of that company from him, a had been publishsd. He had, however, made many Inquiries of M. La an pre eon cernlng hi company's title and had been aasured by that gentleman that it was gocd In reply to a question from Senator Mor gan a to whether th government of the United State bad Instituted any negotta lion with th government of Colombia r latlng to a transfer of th property. Ad mlral Walker aald that ha would have refer the senator to th Stat department that If he had auch Information be would not be at liberty to divulge It. He ex preyed the opinion, however, that the Co lombian government would be bound by any obligation assumed by tb Panama com pany, because that government 1 a stock holder in the Panama company. The admiral was questioned concerning th French lottery for th promotion of th Interests of the Panama canal, but he re plied that be knew nothing about it ex cept what he had heard In Pari. He had understood ther that auch a lottery bad been authorised, but he knew nothing of the limitation placed upon It or th loop allowed It by the Freuca law. And all Blood Diseases.

Mr. Wu, made a statement today Intended to correct what be regarded aa a misinterpretation ot hla attitude toward tha laborlngmaa of tb United States In regard to tha Chines exclusion act. Th minister said: Thar aeema to be aome misunderstand ing with regard to the letter I wrote to the mate aeparimeni concerning me v.cinar exclusion act now before congress. I am told that the Impression prevails that I an tagonise the laboring men ef this country. That la not true. I have never aald any thing to cast the slightest reflection upon the lanorers oi America, who are uhiui mrmhen of the community. Why. even In China, according to our classification of professions, me working man ranas nigner than the merchant and tradesman. Thla shows how China appreciates him, and nothing was further from my thoughts than to say snythlng which could be con strued as reflecting upon this class. CENSUS GROWTH IS GENERAL Iccrsaia in Fopilatira ef small Flaosa is Ifsrs Widespread. IOWA AND ILLINOIS MAKE BIG 'STRIDES Heaviest Lasse Are Faand la Pre dominant Aajrlenltnral Dlstrleta Harth Central Falls to Advance. WASHINGTON, Feb. . Ths director of census today made ths following statement of th increase of population of placea of ess than 4.000 Inhabitants east and west of the" Mississippi fiver and th counties which have decreased in population. Ths increase of population In ths states east of the Mississippi river was 1S T be tween 1880 and 1890 and 19.2 between 1890 and 1900. In th same area the lncreaps In urban population, meaning thereby all placea of more than 4,000 inhabitants, waa 6S.1 per cent between 1880 and 1890 and only 87. t per cent between 1890 and 1900. Both of these statementa could not be true unless ths population of places having less thaa 4,000 Inhabitants had been growing mors rapidly in the last ten years than In ths preceding decade. Such Is the fact. Be tween 1880 and 1890 the population east ot the Mississippi and excluding places of more than 4,000 Increased 4.9 per cent, but between 1890 and 1900 8.7 per cent. Agrlenltaral Districts Loae. To throw further light on this increased prosperity of the small towns during ths last ten years a atudy has been made by ths census office ot those counties which actually decreased in population during either decade, after making allowance for changes In county boundaries. Counties of this class are predominantly agricultural, and usually have lost through migration to mors favored localities of th natural In crease of their population by births over death. Between 1880 and 1890 the counties saat ot the Mississippi which lost population ex tended over 151,152 square miles, or nearly aa great aa New England, New Tork and Pennsylvania. Thla was nearly oae-sixth ot ths total area east of the Mississippi. Between 1890 and 1900 th countlea east of the Mississippi river which lost popula tlon sxtended over an area ot 90,218 square miles. This Is only about one-tenth of the total area east ot the Mississippi. Th figures show that in this part of tb coun try an area almost equal to that of Nsw Englsnd lost population between 1880 and 1890 and gained between 1890 and 1900. Losses in tha Weat. West of the Mississippi tb changes were in the reverse direction, thst. Is the area losing population was slightly larger be tween 1890 and 1900 than It was between 1880 and 1890 (234,862 square miles as com pared with 206,958 square miles), but in th oountry as a whole the area of countlea losing population was over 30,000 square miles less in tha last decade than it was between 18S0 and 1890. To ahow the Influence of this Changs the per cent of total area aa defined by county lines, wnicn snow a loss of popula tion, has been computed, occasional cor rections having been made for ths changes In county boundaries. In th North Atlantlo group ths per cent of county area losing population between 1880 and 1890 was. 28.8;. between. 1890 and 1900, 21.0. The corresponding figures for other groups were: South. Atlantic, 1880-90, iu.b; iBso-1900, e.3 per cent; North Cen tral, 1880-90, 12.1; 1890-1900, 19.1 per cent; South' Central, -1880-1890. .6.7 per cent; 1890-1900. 4.6 per cent; western division, 1880-90, 12.9 per cent; 1890-1900. 8. per cent. ' : Inerense Mora General. These figures show that In four of th flvs divisions, all except th north central, th Increase ef population was mors wide spread and general In the last decade thaa It waa between 1880 and 1890, If th north central division be divided Into two parts at ths Mississippi river, ths per cent of area la the eastern part showing a loss of population, fell from 20.9 In tha earlier to 20.1 In the later decade. Contrary In ths western north central, ths per oent rose from 7.9 in the earlier to 22.8 In th latter decade. Further analysts shows that a gain of population in the last decade waa reported from every county of Minnesota and North Dakota and every county but on ot Iowa, In South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, on ths contrary, ther were Urge areas mostly In ths western part and sparsely settled, for which a decreass of population was resorted. Ths tide of migration In 1890 bad pushed up ths slopes of ths great plains further I than conditions warranted and In ths last decade ths wave has been receding, deplet ing these areas and tilling up ths rural counties of such states as Iowa and 111! nols. In Iowa the per cent of area-losing population wss from 27.0 between 1880 snd 1890 to 1.5 between 1890 and 1900. In 1111 nola it fell from 28.6 to 4.6. In other words, over about a quarter of each state ths population decreased between 1880 and 1890, only to Increase in ths last tan yeara. In no other Important states has there been so marked a change. Poison ooii Poison ivy are among the best known of the many dangerous will, plants and shrubs.
