INDIANA'S GROWTH
The Hoosier State Forms the Basis of Some Interesting Census Figures.
MOST THOROUGHLY AMERICANIZED
Of All the Older'States Ours Takes
the Lead in This Important Direc
tion—George Lockwood Writes in
His Usual Chatty Vein Concerning
Things at National Capital—What
Hoosiers Are Doing at Washington.
I [Special '«['ti• It*II Washington, Feb. 12.—The population figures of the last census, recently issued in complete form, .show that Indiana, while the eighth stat in the Union in point of number of inhabitants, being led in the order named by New York. Pennsylvania. Illinois, Ohio, Missouri. Texas and Massachusetts is eleventh in density of population. A greater number of inhabitants per square mile are found in Rhode Island, ^Massachusetts. NewJersey, Connecticut. Xow York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Delaware and Illinois. Sixteen states and territories have a larger per cent of urban population, namely. New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ohio, Mississippi,
Massachusetts. Wisconsin, New Jersey, California, Maryland. Connecticut, Rhode Island. New Hampshire, Delaware, Hawaii and Wyoming. Indianapolis. the metropolis of the Hoosier state, is the Kith city in th« Union in size and leads all the larger cities in the percentage of population increase during the past decade. Indiana is one of the few states which increased in population more rapidly between 1S90 and 19(10 than between ISSO ana 18!)0. A map giving the relative rate of population increase shows that in certain parts of the gas belt of Indiana the growth was as great from 189i to 1900 as in any part of the country.
Of all the older states. Indiana is the most thoroughly Americanized, indeed. the tables show that from the beginning the state has had a smaller percentage of foreign population than almost any other. While Indiana is the eighth state in population, she stands 1 fith in the matter of foreign horn population and 21st in negro population. Indiana has a larger proportionate white native population than any other state in the Union except West Virginia. Indianapolis is the third city in the Union in proportionate native white population, being led only by St. Joseph. Mo., and Columbus, Ohio.
Hoosier Successes.
The great popularity of Maurice Thompson's best of historical novels —"Alice of Old Vincennes"-is still serving to attract large audiences for the play of the same name, despite its failure to %'alize the possibilities of the romance. At one of the performances in Washington last week, the audience was almost as thoroughly Hoosier in its aspect as the play. A large delegation from the Second congressional district, including Postmaster Adams and Mayor Green of Vincennes: Consul to Zanzibar Chas. R. Rogers and his predecessor at that post. John C. Billheimcr of Washington. This party came to Washington for the purpose of pushing along tfie bill of Representative Miors for a public building at Vincennes. and to this end entertained the members of the house committee on public buildings and grounds, and a score of Indiana departmental officials at a theater party which attended Miss Harned's performance on Thursday of last .week. The Vincennes visitors found some difficulty in recognizing the mountains with which a scenic artist with no great regard for local color had decorated the Illinois side of the Wabash. but did not confess their troubles to thi members of the house committee. "Tom" Adams, the irrepressible Vincennes editor and poltitician, states that when the villainous
English colonel at one point in the play had the heroine at close quarters in Fort Sackville. and Alice was standing at bay with a revolver, J. S. Pritchett of the Vincennes parly hissed between his gritting teeth. "Shoot him, the son-of-a-gun."
General Lew Wallace must be realizing heavily from the dramatized version of Ben Hur. It has just reached Washington after long stands in a dozen American cities, and the opening of the seat sale was the signal for the greatest crush known on a similar occasion in recent years at the capital. The line of seat purchasers was three blocks long. There is no auditorium in Washington large enough to accommodate the crowds that are anxious to witness the spectacle during its two weeks' visit to Washington.
Taylor Willing to Try It Again.' Attorney General Taylor writes to correct your correspondent's version of his speech at Nashville. He states that it is all true except that he did not arrive at the capital of Brown county until 10 p. m„ and as it was then raining, even one of his reputation as a spellbinder could not be expected to draw a crowd. He further claims that he will go back to Nashville this fall, if the people will let him. and make that speech, or one something like it. Speaking of Brown county reminds one of a remark made by an Indiana member of congress the other day. He received a letter from
r~::ic: nc at Nccdr-i^rc, Crown county. "I expect, he said, "that that is the most appropriately named town in the state of Indiana."
Indiana Teachers at Manila. When the delegation from Indiana university which is about to start for the Philippines has arrived s,t Manila, Indiana will be no more largely represented in the corps of American teachers employed in the islands than the neighboring states. There are at this time l'J Indiana teachers in the Philippines—twice as many as have gone from each of the adjoining states of Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. The Indiana delegation comprises Dr. Elmer B. Bryan of the state university F. R. Adams of Hanover T. D. Anglemaycr of Huntington H. D. Britan, Hanover F. i.. Krone, Kendalville Will J. Cushman. Lyons: J. D. Del-luff, Peru Amy and Clyde M. Candy, Anfola Emily Keith, Terre Haute Dad1. O. McGovney, Bloomington G. W. .Moore, Sardinia: Airs. I.enora P. Newsom and S. C. Newsotn. Indianapolis: H. C. Russell, Valparaiso J. M. and Nina Schilling, Wabash Ethel and Raymond Stockton, Indianapolis. There were 750 American teachers in all in the Philippines on Oct. 1, according to a recently issued report of the Philippine commission. S. C. Newsom of the Indiana delegation is division superintendent of schools in the provinces ol I'angasinan. Tarlac and Zambales. and has "-l teachers within hi .- jurisdiction.
Gave Him the Hot End of It. Senator Beveridge is being congratulated on his success in an exchange of compliments with Senators Carmack and Tillman during the debate on the Philippine tariff bill. The episode was unexpected to all concerned, but the Indiana senator was better prepared for Senator Tillman than he was at the time of their last encotin ter during llie 5111h congress, and it in pretty generally admitted that when it was all over Mr. Tillman had reason to believe that he had handled the wrong end of the pitchfork. Very few members of I he senate care to get into trouble with Senator Tillman, not merely because of the use of epithets for which he is famous, but. because he is really one of the most forceful and
I'esourcei'ul
placi
men in the senate in
an extemporaneous discussion. Senator Beveridge's style is as different from the South Carolinian's as it well could be it might be said that lie fights with a rapier, while Senator Tillman lays about with a bludgeon. Mr. Beveridge is gradually strengthening himself in the senate, which for a long time had its doubts about, him, and is winning a popularity with his colleagues that he could not claim a year or two years ago. His high standing with the president help" to
hiin conspicuously before the
country as one of the leaders of his party. "Our policy during the debate on the Philippine tariff bill." said Senator Beveridge to your correspondent, "has been simply to sit here and let our friends oil the other side talk themselves out. The bill itself represents the best judgment, of the Philippine commission, after two years' study of the situation on the ground. The majority can't expect to better the bill. The policy of the minority, as I stated on the lloor of the senate, has been to talk interminably on this and every other subject. That is their right. We have contented ourselves with criticizing errors of statement in the speeches of the opposition, and but for the necessity of doing this my name would not have appeared in the
Record in connection, with this discussion.'' Later in the session it is expected Senator Beveridge will make a set speech on the Philippine question, giving the results of his later observation of conditions in the islands. It now seems apparent that this question will be one of the dominant issues in the approaching campaign. As one of the earliest advocates of the policy of acquiring and holding the islands. Senator Beveridge will find this issue entirely to his liking.
Distinguished Hoosier Diplomats. Hon. John W. Foster, the Indianian who has had so distinguished a career as a diplomat, is. if Colonel Chas. Denby. his fellow' townsman at Evansville. so long minister to China, be excepted the best known American in the Chinese empire, and his advice has frequently been sought by that government. II General Foster had accepted an invitation, said to havt been extended to him after he had concluded the peace negotiations with Japan as the representative ot China, to remain in Pekin as tlu. diplomatic adviser of the court, some recent chapters in Chinese history would not have been written.
General Foster as a legal representative of China is opposing the re enactment of the Chinese exclusion act. He cites a treaty with China negotiated by another eminent Indianian, General Gresham. in ISOi. by the provisions of which, as General Foster interprets the compact, all regulations against the free entry of Clri nese laborers into the United States were to be revoked at the end of 10 years.
Opposition to the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion act seems futile The sentiment in favor of closing our ports to the cheap labor of the Orient seems almost unanimous among mem hers of both branches of congress. In diana labor organizations, which few weeks ago were actively engaged in informing their representatives and senators of their anxiety for the reenactment of the exclusion law, have ceased to memorialize congress on the subject, so well understood is the situation.
