First Report of U. S. Census By McLaughlin Was Not Accurate.

John Callan O’Laughlin, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, claimed a scoop on all other papers last Saturday when he gave out what purported to be the official census of the United States. The figures were given out the next day and it was shown that the ambitious correspondent had missed the total a little more than 500,000, which, the Indianapolis Star jealously says, wouldn’t entitle him to consideration lh a bean guessing contest. The right figures are 91,272,266. Including all the insular possessions the population exceeds 101,100,000.
