Decrease.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. With a popula
tion of 5,i!,591 and a gain In the last twi
years of almost 17 per cent, as shown by
the announcement today of the result of
the recent census, Illinois Is assured con
tinuance as the third state of the union.
Only New York and Pennsylvania outrank
It, while Ohio, whlchccuples fourth place
falls almost a million below.
The increase in Illinois Is somewhat
greater than that of any of the middle
western states whose population so far
have been announced, Michigan showing
only a little over 16 per cent, Missouri 6
per cent, Indiana somewhat more than 7
per cent, Kansas 15 per cent, Ohio not
quite 15 per cent, and Iowa Indicating a
loss.
Kven Illinois Is, however, outdistanced by
the larger eastern states for which figures
have been given. New York, Massachus
etts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, all
show larger percentages of gain.
The announcement for Illinois merely
emphasises the fact that the greatest gains
are In the cities. Of the 817,041 additions
to the population of that state, 486,708 were
in Chicago alone, and a study of the- map
of the state shows that the principal coun
ties In which Increase was Indicated were
those containing cities of 10,000 and up
wards. Chicago Is shown to. possess about
two-fifth of the state population.
Forty-nine of the 1U2 counties of the state
showed decreases In population during the
last ten yean, while twenty other counties
showed gains of less than 2,000 during the
decade. The Ions in no instance exceeded
3,000.
The state should gain at least four con
gressmen if the proposed number appor
tionment law should be based as at present.
More Trouble Expected
in Northern Mexico
Insurgents in Chihuahua and Duxango
Are Well Supplied with Guns
and Ammunition.
ELPASO. Jex., Nov. 28. According to
the staff correspondent of the IJ Paso
Herald, who returned here last nlghi, thore
is every prospect of further trouble in the
affected districts of Chihuahua and IJur
ango. They declare that 90 per cent of
the natives in that part of Mexico are
against the Mas government and that
those not openly supporting the revolu
tionists are passive. They also state that
tha revolutionist army is not made up of
peons and bandits, as has been reported,
but consists of native railroad employes,
farmers, mechanics and others. The In
surrectos appear to have plenty of arras
and ammunition and seem to have plenty
of money behind them.
lloth correspondents agree' that the in
surrectos have not been conquered, but
only driven Into the mountains. Desultory
fighting Is expected to continue and there
have been several small fights within the
)at few days.
W. W. King, a resident of Gomes Pal
ac.o, declares he saw the bodies of four
Mexican soldiers brought In from the
mountains near Oomes Palaclo laat Fri
day. Confirmation has been received of
a report that revolutionise tore up rail
road track west of Parral on Thursday
and prevented repairs being made. Con
firmat'on was also secured of the report
of a battle at Manaquipa. near the Mor
mon colonies, on Wednesday. Further
news Is to the effict that there was fight
ing at Rl Valle. between Mnnaqulpa ami

are sa d to be In gr'-at fear of an attack.

PARLIAMENT, IS DISSOLVED
Cabinet Appeals to Country on Propo
sition to Limit Veto of Lords.
SPEECH FROM THRONE IS BRIEF
Only Reference to i'rlala la Corlorlena
Expression of Hrgrel that an
Agreement Waa Not
Reached.
LONDON. Nor. 28. The aecond Parlia
ment in the reign of the late King Ed
ward VII, which met on February last,
was dissolved today in pursuance of the
program of the liberal government to go
before the country on the question of the
prerogatives of the House of Lords.
The king's speech was notable for its
brevity, the only reference to the consti
tutional crisis being a colorless expression
of regret that the conference between the
leaders of the opposing controlling parties
had failed of an agreement over the re
formation of the upper chamber.
The longest and most interesting para
graph, which, immediately followed an al
lualon to the death of his majesty's father,
dealt with the recent arbitration of the
J Newfoundland fisheries dispute with the
"I confidently hope the questions con
nected with the north Atlantic fisheries
between Canada and Newfoundland on
one hand and with the United States of
America on the other, which have been
the subject of controversy for nearly a
century, have been at last finally settled
by the award of The Hague tribunal. It
is the cause of special satisfaction that
It has been found possible to solve by
arbitration problems of auch an Intricate
and difficult nature and the award has
been received by both sldea in a pplrlt
which must tend to increase good will."
Theproclamation of dissolution summons
a new Parliament to assemble on January
81, 1911. . . .
History of Mruaa'e.
Today's dissolution of Parliament brings
to a crista the supreme struggle now "in
progress to limit the legislative powers of
the House of Lords anJ thereby permit the
elective branch of Parliament, the House of
Commons, to exert larger powers in effect
ing legislation, more particularly measures
' relating to Irish home rule and the finan
cial budgets.
The present House of Commons has a
ministerial majority of 124, and the present
standing of the various elements is as fol
lov: Liberals, 275; labor members, 40; na
tionalists, 71; Independent nationalists, 11;
unionists, 278.
The last goaeTal election followed the
dissolution of January 10 last. Prior to
that the ministerial majority was 334, but
as a result of unionist gains In the elec
tion the ministerial majority was reduced.
The former dissolution was also baaed on
the Issue of the House of Lords.

Telegraph Company
Must Pay Damages
Supreme Court Renders Verdict in
Favor of Grain Company Because
of Failure to Deliver Message.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 28. Recause the
Western I'nlon Telegraph company failed
to transmit a message from Detroit, Mich.,
to Kansas City, Mo., after accepting it,
the supreme court of the Uplted States
today held the telegraph company liable
for more than 1300 damage. The company
received 40 cents to send the message.
The Commercial Mining company of De
troit gave the Western Union Telegraph
company a message there to be delivered
to a grain elevator company in Kansas
City, Mo. The message got aa far as Chi
cago, where it was lost. As a result the
Detroit company claimed It had been dam
aged 2 00i) by the failure, thus to make a
purchase of wheat.
The message was written on a telegraph
blank, which contained an agreement that
in case of nondelivery the telegraph com
pany would be liable only for the amount
received for sending the message.
The trial court held that the contract
was Invalid, becauKe It was In conflict with
a state law that regulated the liability.
