Population of A 11 t rln-II 11 n n r y n Reported Iiy an Anierienii Consul. WA3HI.NT.TOX, April 13. A report from the consul general at Vienna, Austria, to the State Department Rives the preliminary results of the census taken last December in Austria-Hungary. The present population of the Austro-IIungary monarchy is about 4S,hWfU0Q, or slightly greater than that of Jaran. With reference to population .Austria-Hungary Is the seventh country of the world, those, having a greater number of Inhabitants beinjr China, the Pritish empire, the Russian empire, the United States, I'runce and the German empire. DurinjT the last ten years the population of Austrii alone has increased it.3 per cent., a more rapid growth than it has experienced in previous decades. Tho preliminary results of the German census have shown that the rate of growth. In that empire, also, during the last five years, was more rapid than It has been since the Franco-Prussian war. The present population of Hungary Is about 1'J,2'O.0ii0. Its rate of gTOwth in the last ten years has been 10.7 per cent., or slightly more rapid than that in Austria, but slightly less rapid than Its own rate of growth In the tn years preceding:. Tho number of houses reported In Austria has Increased in ten jears somewhat loss rapidly than the number of people, anl the number of leaseholders has Increased somewhat more rapidly than the population. rVcv Arnir Herniation. YASIIINGTON', April 13.-Socretary Root to-day approved the report of a revision and codification of the army regulations prepared by a commission consisting of Assistant Secretary of War Sanger, Lieutenant Colonel Davis, of the judge advocate general's department, and Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, of the adjutant general's department. This revision and codification was necessary on account of the many changes that have been made in the army regulations by law and general orders since the last book of regulations was printed, also by the changes of the conditions in the United States. One of the regulations, drawn in times when troops were stationed upon the frontier of the United States, allowed the commanding ollicer of a post or camp to issue arms ami ammunition to settlers for the purpose of self-preservation against the Indians. This was not made tpecilic and as the frontier of the United KtateH has practically disappeared the order could now be interpreted to allow issuance of arms to people of the Philippines, Porto Ilico, Cuba or Alaska. It was thought necessary to rescind this regulation. The change from a regimental to company organization of the artillery also has necessitated many changes. Borne minor changes also were made regarding payment of troops and, also regarding the transport reryjep,-as transports were not a part of th "Sri-ray establishment when the old reguItions were drawn up. IZrincntorn of AH Creed Meet. WASHINGTON, April 13. At the banquet of the Alumni Association of the Columbia University of this city, this evening, representatives of the various local Institutions for higher education Vere present, and, in the speeches after the banquet, 1h fact developed that the total number of students now receiving higher education at the colleges and universities in Washington was considerably In excess of 3,uo0. This places Washington among the largo university towns of the country. The gathering was unique in the fact that from the same table speeches were made by Dr. Samuel II. Greene, a prominent Ilaptist and acting president of the Columbian University; by Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee, of the Kplscopal Church; by Mr. A. IL Browne, one of the trustees of the American Methodist University, and by the Rev. Father Garrlgan, vice rector of the Catholic University, while the opening invocation was delivered by the Rev. Dr. i:. J. Rankin, president of Howard University, a well-known Ccngregatlonalist leader. There was a general feeling of gratification at the fine showing made In regard to Washington as an educational center. Schley Mart for Home, WASHINGTON. April 13. The Navy Department received a dispatch to-day from Admiral Schley at Montevideo, stating that he had hauled down hi? flag as commanding officer of the South Atlantic station and would leave to-day for the United States, going via Southampton on the tteamer Clyde. With the departure of the admiral Captain Rockwell, of the Chicago, becomes -the ranking officer on the ftatlon until .tie arrival there of Admiral Cromwell. It is not expected at the Navy DepartmerJ that Admiral Schley will no given any further assignment to duty, as he retires next October, and there would hardly be time for his taking up a work of any magnitude In the few months remaining of his active service.

The need, recently, has been felt in the Philippines for a hospital ship of light draught, able to enter the more shallowharbors of the islands which the hospital ship Relief cannot traverse. A vessel cf this character could not be obtained at Hong-Kong, so the matter was referred to the War Department by General MacArthur, and Secretary Root has authorized a board of ofticers to Inspect the Terry, now lying idle at the New York yard, and see If t-he comes up to the requirements. If she is found suitable she will be promptly sent to the Philippines.

The amendment, at the time of its consideration 'n Congress, was foughtrby the Association of Letter Carriers, and the department found i. expensive to enforce it. The eight-hour law specifically provides for eight hours a day, while the amendment allowed the averaging of this amount of work so as to keep within the limit of forty-tight hours In the six days of labor.

Twenty-seven railroads are embraced in the itinerary. Wherever feasible the State capitals are visited. Local programmes are arranged covering the cities at which extended stops are made. A feature of the trip will be the substitution of drives for receptions, thus more fully accommodating the people than would be possible at a short reception. The reception committees will be rer-lved at the cities they represent, the'various local committees having cordially co-operated in this icspect. as well as in others, in an endeavor to make the journey of the President and his party a most enjoyable and Interesting one. While the President may make short addresses, at several of the large cities and at some of the colleges and universities, it is not at all likely lie will make as many speeches as have been delivered In the course of previous trips.

STATE'S PART IN FARCE

IS OVER AT FRAMvUORT, THE PROSE C I T I O RE S T I G. Judge OWell, Opening for DfTeiinr, HeIicnrsc tin Tn lor-RlpDy Conversation o Plot to Kill. FRANKFORT, Ky.. April 13. The prosecution rested in the Ripley-Goebel conspiracy case to-day, and the defense, after having its motion for peremptory instructions to acquit overruled, made the opening presentment of Its case. Court then adjourned until Monday. William I. Reeder, ex-clerk of Knox county, was the first witness. He testified that, he talked with Caleb Powers and Charles Finley frequently in regard to the crowd they were getting up to go to Frankfort on Jan. 23. Witness asked Finley if there was going to be a tight at Frankfort. Finley replied that he thought so, and would not be surprised if Goebel should be killed in the next five days. Town Marshal Jesse, of Pleasureville, testified that Ripley's military company had Its first drill on Jan. 27, and the second drill was on Jan. 30, both in secret. County Judge Rruce testified that Ripley's company was illegally got up, no application having been made for its organization, as required by law. Wharton Golden told of the organization of the mountain army. He got it up in conjunction with Powers, who gave him the money. He also told of a conversation with Governor Taylor, in which Taylor asked him if he and his men would back up the Republican members of the Legislature in case they started a light, lie told Taylor they would. Caleb Powers,' in January, told him that the killing of Goebel was the only way to settle the contest; that several hundred men should be brought here from the mountains, und that Taylor would pardon the man who did the shooting. Touching Ripley, witness said he saw him in the adjutant general's office a few days before the assassination. General Collier told Ripley he had no guns with which to equip the company that Ripley had organized. Ripley said he would buy Winchesters if he could not get others. He saw Youtsey get the key to the secretary of state's oth.ee Jan. 21). The prosecution then rested. A motion for peremptory Instructions for acquittal on evidence presented by the commonwealth was overruled, and Mr. O'Neil made the opening statement for the defense. He said that he was convinced his client was innocent; that he did not even know Caleb Powers, Finley, Youtsey and other suspects. He barely knew Taylor and had only met him on two occasions, just prior to the assassination, and the proof showed no link connecting him with the conspirators or with any part of the conspiracy, if one existed. Regarding the testimony of ex-Governor Rradley and Judge Yost, O'Neil said a mountain had been made of a molehill. There was great excitement in Frankfort on Jan. -a. and when Ripley went into Governor Taylor's office he found the latter nervous and wringing his hands. He asked what was the matter and Taylor said: "Oh, my God, Rlplev, these are terrible times. Goebel will be killed; I will be killed, and there will be a riot here." Ripley told him he thought these things could be avoided and Inquired when he should get his company ready. To this Taylor said: "My God, haven't you got them ready yet?" "This was all there was to It." said O'Neil, "and no such construction could rightfullv be put on it as has been done in this trial." O'Neil said both Governor Rradley and Judge Yost wre mistaken as to the point Ripley was endeavoring to make when he told of the conversation with Taylor, in which he used the words. "Goebel will be killed." Ripley saw Youtsey passing, about thai time, anil recognized him as the man he had seen come out of Taylor's office on Jan. 2'.. Ripley related the whole conversation, but attached no importance to Taylor's statement. Court then adjourned until Monday. WILL CONTINUE AT WORK THERE WILL HE XO STRIKE OF JERSEY CENTRAL EMPLOYES. Agreement Ilonclifd nt Yesterday Con f e reue Con eons Ion muted Engineers and Firemen. NEW YORK, April 13. It was announced by officials of the Central Railroad of New Jersey this evening that the company had come to an agreement with Its engineers and firemen. The conference which brought about this result was held between representatives of the employes of the road and General Superintendent Olhausen and Division Superintendent Wentz. The wages of the engineers and firemen were increased, but the telegraphers and the train hands did not fare so well. The former were to'd that they will be treate'd as liberally as their fellow-workers In the employ of other railroads, and that the train hands are to have another conference with the officers. After the conference Timothy Shea, representative of the firemen in "jersey City, announced that there would be no strike on the New Jersey Central Railroad. He said that had been definitely decided on. The company had made concessiens to the men and had granted to the engineers and firemen the one hundred miles a day limit which they had demanded. Mr. Shea said the demands of the telegraphers had been dropped for the present. The telegraphers were to continue to work at the same rate as before until they could bring evidence to convince the company that they were not paid as much as the telegraphers on other roads. This they had so tar been unable to do. The demands of the trainmen, it was further stated, would also remain in abeyance for three months. At the end of that time the question of their wages might again be considered by the railroad ollicials. Wllkeshnrrt Strike Settled. WILK ESRARRE, Pa., April 13.-The strike of the ImO employes of the car shops of the Central Railroad of New Jersey at Ashley was settled to-day. Superintendent Thomas, who went to New York to consult with the higher officials of the company, returned to-day with a proposition to submit to the strikers. He said he would reinstate the thirty-two men whose suspension caused the strike, but he could give no guarantee that the men would be employed longer than May 1. The grievance committee, it is stated," insisted on some guarantee for future protection of the men, but Mr. Thomas said he could not give it. The men. after a short session, decided in accept the offer, and all hands will report for work on Monday. Mr. HnrriNoii n n Private Citizen. Harper's Weekly. Mr. Harrison went out of public station Into a more congenial atmosphere. His greatness as a lawyer was recognized. He was made the principal counsel for Venezuela in the boundary dispute with Great Erituln. He himself walked out of the first office of the Republic into tho ranks of free citizens, as was becoming in a frte citizen who, for a few years, had been the chief servant and the chief personage of the Republic. As opportunities came to him he grew Into larger proportions than the country dreamt 1 were his while he was President. Even personal Intimate friendships increased, and at last wh-n the time cam' for him to show how deep were his feelings for humanity, how greatly he loved the country, how strong was his faith in republican Institutions, how firm and eloe.iu.nt a friend he was of justice and freedom, how little of a politician he was wlun what he concievrd to be the Nation's honor was In question, then came the time not only of his largest reputation, but of his greatness, and his strongest influence with his fellow-countrymen. Rarely has a public man performed his greatest public service while out of public station. Rut Renjamin Harrison, private citizen, made a deeper Impression on his time than lenkuMin Harrison, President, ever made.

And rarely has any man's death been more inopportune than his. SOCIAL SCIENTISTS ADJOURN. -

Daniel Ruttcriield, one of the most distinguished surviving officers of the civil war, is dangerously ill at his home, in this city. He H suffering from a recurrence of the illnes which prostrated him in the summer of lvj". General Ruttcnield has been In Miami, Fla., for about two months, hoping to benefit from the climate. On his return last Sunday ho was prostrated, and his physician. Dr. Frederick A. Castle, found him attacked by paralytic symptoms. Dr. Castle said to-day: "At his age he is now in his seventieth year an attack of this kind is always alarming, and no man can say how it may result." Daniel Rutteriield was born in Utica, N. Y., on Oct. 31, 1S31, and was graduated from Union College in 1S13. He engaged in business in New York, and when the civil war broke out he went to the front as colonel of the Twelfth New Y'ork Militia. He was commissioned lieutenant colonel In May, lsfd, and appointed a brigadier general of volunteers the following September. He became a major general of volunteers In November, 12, a colonel in the regular army in July, 1.863, , and eventually a brevet brigadier and a major general in the regular service. He served with distinction throughout the war, and was in command of the forces in the New York harbor from lSf5 to 1SW. General Rutteriield resigned his commission in tho turny in 1G. and afterward became aslstant treasurer of the United States at the New York subtreasury.

"Of course I helped him." said the bright little wife of the minister, in the natural course of conversation. "Do you suppose that If 1 had ever been a millstone about his neck he would be In charge of a fine parish in a big city like Detroit and with two or three openings for a change whenever he cares to take one? "I should think not. Ninety per cent, of the married women want to help their husbands, but they don't know how. They fuss and fume and fly around and court nervous prostration in their efforts, but the poor things are Just beating their wings against the cage." "What was your plan, my dear?" asked one of the interested listeners. "Ruslness! That's the whole explanation In a word. I kept up my social obligations, but I didn't push them. I helped the needy, but it was through the established agencies of the church. I was a 'good fellow,' as. the men sav, but I never weighted myself down with the Idea that there would never be sunshine or pleasure in the parish unless I produced them." "Rut can't you be more explicit?" "Of course I can. I devoted myself to the matrimonial department. Y'es. I was a match-maker, but I was a good one In everv sense. 1 brought the right kind of people together. I cleared the way when they were In doubt, and when the event came off I was one of the essential features. I made things merry for them and they used to postpone weddings upon notice that it would be Impossible for me to attend. I left onlv one person of marriageable age in the parish, and there was no one there to marrv him to. Of course my husband officiated. What was the result? V were the most popular couple in that part of the vincvard. The wedding fees - were clear gain" Our reputation went abroad and outsiders never stopped to Investigate as to why we were so popular. L wasn't an unscrupulous promoter, for that husband of mine could succeed In the best church of London. Rut 1 opened the way. and it never would have been opened If I had just run about nnd sympathized and done enforced social duty. I can't preach, but I brought you the man who can."

CATHOLICS MOT YET HEADY TO AMALGAMATE THEIR SOCIETIES. Report of the Subcommittee on Fed ernt ion O rgfini7.il t Ions Asked to Snhiiiit Their Yletvs. PHILADELPHIA, April 13. The subcommittee appointed at a meeting of Catholic socities in New York on Thanksgiving day last for the purpose of drafting ft constitution met in Trenton at the residence of RIshop McFaul on Wednesday and haye prepared a report to be sent out. The report, which is dated Long Rranch, and signed by Thomas P. McKenna,' of Long Rranch, chairman of the subcommittee, and Rev. M. A. Cunnion, of New Y'ork, and Rev. F. II. Wall, of New Y'ork, is as follows: "The meeting of the subcommittee on plan and scope of constitution for the federation of Catholic societies, was held at the residence of Rishop McFaul, in Trenton, and after a full discussion of the subject it was the sense of the committee that the formation of a constitution for the proposed federation would be inadvisable without a further discussion on the subject. Hence the committee invites from the various Catholic societies correspondence embodying their views on federation, the best manner of obtaining it, and the objects to which an organization should be devoted. The committee begs leave to respectfully suggest that to avoid all friction among the different societies, seeing that they have different aims and interests., ami are composed of divers nationalities, as well as to prevent the movement from encroaching upon the domain ot politics, the federation mitjht be safely accomplished on lines similar to international truth societies. Thus a society might be established in every archdiocese and tho diocesan branches added as might be feasible, all tending to a national organization lor: "First The promotion of social, civil and leligious interests. "Second The assistance and encouragement of the Catholic press, the creation of the demand for Cathode literature and the means of disseminating lt. "Third The refutation of all misrepresentations, calumnies, etc., against the Catholic Church. "The archdiocesan and diocesan soeieites organized from the various societies within their territory would form a national society. "When the societies have offered their views upon the matter above suggested the committee feels that it wouid be in a position to formulate a constitution worthy of presentation to the Catholic hierarchy of the United States, and to ask their criticism and approbation. The committee respectfully advises that the proposed meeting at Cincinnati be postponed" until sucn time as the information required has beta received and acted upon." lt is understood that the plan of the organization of the national board would bo by representation trom the archdiocesan and diocesan organizations, which in turn would include in their membership the various Catholic societies withm their respective territory. JOHN J. GRIFFIN KILLED VELL-KOW SOl'TIIERX RAILWAY 31 AN SHOT TO DEATIE 31 J. Ilnrnnrd R. Evans Arrested for the Crime Eeeentrie Conduct of the I'rlMoner. COLUMRIA, S. C, April 13. Cant. John J. Grlllln, commercial agent of the Norfolk Ä: Western Railroad, was shot to death this afternoon In the rooms of Maj. Rarnard R. Evans in this city. The arrest of Major Evans subsequently created a sensation. The two were alone and occupants of adjoining apartments were at dinner. Major Evans summoned a physician, saying that a man was hurt in his rooms. Dr. R. W. Gibbes found Captain Griffin lying in a dying condition and speechless on Major Evans's bed. A 44calibre Colt's revolver bullet had entered just above the left nipple. When Dr. Gibbes announced that Griffin was dying he declares that Evans, who had been drinking heavily, became excited t.nd exclaimed that Dr. Gibbes lied; that Dr. Gibbes, and not he himself, had killed Griffin. The physician, under pretext oZ replacing a broken instrument, managed to get out of the room, although, it is alleged, Evans declared that he should not do o. Dr. Gibbes summoned the police, and they were refused admittance until Judge Ernest Gary, a cousin of Evans, arrived and demanued admittance and submission to the officers. Evans struck -iudg- Gary and was taken to Jail in a s'.ate of hysteria, having declared that GrPIin had taken his own life. In the room were evidences that one or both of the men had been drinking. Aside from this there is no reason why Gtlfiln should have killed himself or mat Evans snould have shot him. J li 3 dead nan's face was bruised on both sides and thcte was an abrasion on the bridge of the nose. His cane, clotted witn blood, was several leet from where blood marks mdicatec where the fatal shot had taken effect. The right forearm of the dead aian showed powder burns, but none were Usi'ole :n ihe neighborhood of the wjuad. Capt. Griffin served in the Confederate army with a company from Macon, Ga., and after the war entered the. railroad service. He had held the position of general freight agent of the East Tennessee, Virginia &z Georgia, and subsequently went to the Norfolk fc Western. Two years ago he was assigned to this territory. He lived nt Atlanta for many years. One of his daughters was married there about two years ago to Lieutenant Harry M. Campbell, of the Twenty-first Infantry, U. S. A., now in the Philippines. Lieutenant Campbell is a native of Indiana. Major Evans is a son of Rrlgadler General N. G. Evans and a nephew of Major General Mart W. Gary, of the Confederate army. He Is a brother of former Governor John Gary Evans, who was adjutant general in 1SUS and was himself In the Havana postofflce department at that time. He Is well known in military and political circles. A II OUT COLI. ARS. Theory that They Mark the Pro-treat of Clvllirntion. London Leader. We claim that the collar makes the man. In Roman days It made the slave. It was of iron, too. and not quite so comfortable as the modern variety, though the greatest enemy of linen collars would not accuse them of being absolutely comfortable. Thj Roman collar bore an inscription giving the slave's owner; nowadays collars bear iutcriptlons such as "Rosebery." "Salisbury," with the slave's hoiser. Retween the iron age and the linen age of collars there were several stages. One udvantJye of the purple and woad period of cur ancestors was that the collars then were easv-flttlng. A man whose neck was tlxteen inches in girth Invariably wore a Hxteen-lnch collar. Time passed on, and the nobllltv and gentry sighed to cover throats with another animal's skin, hence ermine and fur. Henry the Seventh and bin Queen. Elizabeth of York, both wore collar of fur of the same shape, an excellent example of marital concord. A greater Elizabeth male the collar into a work of art. She donned ruffles. One Stubbs In her reign spoke thus candidly c? ruffies, "the devil's liquor. I mean starche. with which they strengthen these pillars of pride. Then have they three or four degrees of ruffle, one beneath another, and all under the master devil rutlle." poor Stubbs! -Had be but lived to st-e the "Shaftesburv" stand-up! Shakspeare has a word about collars in Romeo and Juliet: "The collar of the moonshine's watery beams." Perhaps this would be less obnoxious to poor Stubbs than the starched article. The Puritans banished ruilles and orna-

Around their wrists the little lace fripperies gave token of a worldllness which they coulfl not altogether disdain. ' Hut their successors in our history carried the neck cloth to a wonderful pitch, and among the advantages of the Dutch fashions brought by William of Orange may be enumerated the trimmings of line point lace which hung from the throat. A century ago we grew more simple. The turndown, or lie down, collar, with a black strip of ribbon by way of necktie, came to us from America. It was not exactly beautiful, but it was serviceable. And then some one invented the detachable collar so that a "man could deceive the world as to the number of his shirts. Of all utilitarian devices this is the mot contemptible, but it is conventional and we all fall into line. Of the stand-up collar It is dillicult to write an appreciative word. Oliver Wendell Holmes says that some men would "With that lean head-stalk, that protruding chin, Wear standing collars were they made of tin." Tty what ratiocinatlve means mankind (and womankind) was led to adopt the stand-up eollar is hard to say. Home aver that the days of nonbeards and clean "having have compelled us to protect our throats. While we were about it we might have chosen a better material than Until as a protection; plain, unornamental flannel, for example. The fact Is that we wear stand-up collars for show, since women cannot be said to substitute them for beards. The Society fr the Prevention of the Abuse of Advertisement might do worse than suggest the collar as a display board instead of the enameled sign? by the railway. laterary men have always been noted for their collars. People who never read Hyron know his collar. Wordsworth. Kuskln and Sir Walter left a mark in linen. The highest and driest of Tories admired the Gladstonlan article. But paper collars wtre not much in favor with the great mind. Possibly they resented the use of precious paper in this way. Only lord mavor are left with the original article. On their rotund bosoms the ancient collar hangs heavily. It may be bejeweled and bedizened, but still it Is the badge of slaverv. the collar as lt was before the ruflles, the lace, the neckcloth, the turn-down, the stand-up and the patent combination of the di.ad vantagt s of the two latter. We have only to glance at a lord mayor to se how far civilization has led us away from the habits of our ancestors. Lonmcm hy Fire. DETROIT. Mich..
