The law allows until June 15 In cities of 8,000 inhabitants, and in rural districts until the Ist of July for Its com pletion, and after that the schedules have to be examined by the supervisors of cen sus before they can be forwarded to Washington, in order that the supervis ors may determine whether the work has been satisfactorily done and may be !n position to certify to the correctness of the enumerators’ accounts for service ren dered under the law. "The following statement has been pre pared, showing what has to be done with the census returns when received at Washington, end why it must be weeks or even months before the figures can be given out in their entirety: "Every enumerator is required to fill a daily report card, showing how many hours and minutes he has been at work, and how many persons he has enumer ated that day. Since there are approxi mately 53,000 enumerators and thirty days are allowed for the completion of the census, the number of daily report cards to be examined in the census office is somewhere between one million and a mil lion and a half. Immensity of tin* Work. "It Is difficult for any one not familiar with census work to form an idea of the vast amount of material to be handled in all of the divisions of the office. The number of boxes containing schedules sent to the enumerators in advance of taking the census wa.% 4,500 and their total weight was estimated at 300 tons. All of this ma terial is returned to Washington, where it has to be sorted out and arranged ’n order by states and the sub-divisions of states upon shelving aggregating several miles in length. There is an invoice of schedule in every box received which has to be verified. "Next In order follows tbo exanrnaiion In detail of the schedules. Every schedule has to be examined n order to f-ee that the enumerator has not made an over charge for his services. For this purpose the schedule has to te compared with the account render, and by him. livery possible effort will be made to pay the enumera tors at the earliest practicable date. Every business man knows that 53.000 bills presented for payment in one day could not be audited and paid at sight. May He Five nr Six Month**. "The schedules then go to the clerks employed in punching cards for the elec irtc tatulat'ng maehins. A count of the population will then be made by color, by sex and by native or foreign birth, which will consume possibly five or six months. Not until this machine count shall have been made for any particular city, coun ty or state, can the figures be given cut for publiea in. The cities will naturally be taken up first, and as fast as the act ual population, as returned by the enum erators is ascertained it will he posted on a bulletin board in tho ball outside the directors room for the information of the press."

LOUIS STRIKE SITUATION. DETECTIVE ARRESTED ON SUSPI CION OF DYNAMITING. lie Wan Caught in a Scheme Which He Appeared to Have Worked for the Purpose of Ingratiating Ilim nelf Into the Favor of the Transit Company— Posse Comitatus Will He Reduced for the Present to 500 Men. St. I.ouis, June 22.—T0-day was one of the quietest since the inauguration of the strike by the employes of the St. Gouis Transit Company. Cars wire lun on every division without ir.oics aiion. The police reported that no violence had occurred up to a latg hour to-night. The most important event of the day was the arrest of Ora Havill on suspicion of being connected with the recent dyna mite explosions along the lines of the Transit Company. Ora Havill is an employe of the Tran sit Company. For several weeks he has been acting as private detective and prior to this lime was employed as a guard on the cais. On information furnished by Havill, Chief Campbell had detailed a equad of police to guaid the bridge over River des Peres, on the D lmar brunch of the Tran sit Company in St. Gouis county. Havill claimed to have overheard a con versation between two men in which ar rangements were being made to destroy this bridge by dynamite on. Thursday night. Shortly after dark the police arrested two men. one of whom proved to be Hav ill and the other Clarence M. Smith, an employe of the Transit Company. They explained to the police that they were sent out by the company to watch the bridge and showed the officers two sticks ot dynamite and a piece of fuse, which, they said, they had found in the bushes. They were allowed to go, but an hour la ter they returned and attempted to carry oft the dynamite. Their arrest followed: Chief Campbell declared it his belief that Havill placed the dynamite near the bridga to establish himself in the good graces of the Transit Company. In accordance with instructions Issued to-day by the Board of Police Commis sioners to Sheriff Pohlman, the posse will he reduced to 500 men. The: men on pa role will be subject to calls in case of trouble. Unless the situation grows worse, they will not be recalled until July 4. when it is expected about 3,500 men will be on duty. Coroner Gloyd continued his investiga tion to-day into the shooting at the bar racks, but no important testimony was evolved. Police Judge Zimmerman made a ruling to-day that orrests made by members of the posse ore illegal, unless in case of a riobor in crowds. HAD MONEY- TESTED BY MACHINE. Inventions of t'apt. Porter Guard the Public Against Counterfeiters. From the Chicago News. Copt. Thomas I. Porter, of the United States Secret Service, has directed his in ventive faculty for some years toward the perfection of devices for safeguarding the public against counterfeiters. He Is an expert on bogus money, whether coin or paper. He was the first to discover the Jacobs bogus revenue stamp and point out Us defects. He recently has perfected three devices, which were suggested to him by his work In the treasury depart ment. One is a coin detecter, another an automatic counter of coin, and a third a tie for bags containing money or valua bles, that, -if once opened, cannot be refastened. Two or three counterfeit detectors have been given to the public by the Chicago Secret Service man. but his latest inven tion in that line is pronounced by treasury officials and bank clerks to be remarka ble. It' is an instantaneous tester. A coin that has a suspicious look is tested in a slot cut in a metal tongue at the top of a small steel box. If it is good it passes readily through the slot, falls upon an apron beneath and rolls off on a square of plate glass giving the "ring” test. If tile coin is undersized it will not ring when it strikes the plate. If it is oversized it will no! pass through the slot. The coin also drops on a disk attached to a bar; If ot light weight the balances will not act. "Counterfeit coins are either too light or too heavy,” said Capt. Porter. "I have never found them of the exact weight and the exact size. Gold coins seldom are counterfeited.” The counting machine which will be used In the sub-treasury is another simple de vice that docs away with the counting of coins by hand, for the silver, nickel and copper coins cannot be weighed like gold, because of Ihe variations in thickness of the coins. The principle of the machine Is that a coin dropped through a tube of slightly larger diameter will fail flat at the bottom. A plunger at the liottom of the tube, throws the coin out of the ma chine and registers it at the same time. The handler of the money has only to look out for plugged and defective coins as he sweeps the money across the table Into the machine. The record in counting money has been 30,000 dimes in an hour. Capt. Porter's little machine wfll count 30,000. Tubes of varying size for any coin from a penny to a dollar are furnished with each machine. The captain's other device for the safe guarding of the contents of a bag is a metal oval, armed with teeth on the inside of jaws that are hinged on one end. A staple on one Jaw pierces the other ut the free end and a seal wire to it holds the bag intact. The eeai muFt be broken before the Jaws can be opened and tlie contents of the bag released. Capt. Porter had another invention some time ago for the detection of counterfeit pai>er money by reproducing the portraits on the various bills, but the government would not consent to a reproduction of any pert of a Nil, even to aid In the detection of counterfeits.

No news from the com ma nder-in-chief. " ‘The Terrible landed this morning, 352 officers and men of the Fusiliers.’ ” In conclusion. Mr. Broderick announced that he believed various other troops would arrive In a day or two. if they had not already landed, and that arrange ments had been made by the government to supplement very considerably the force ordered to China.

Hong Kong, June 22.—L1 Hung Chang, who was interviewed in Canton yesterday, said he would leave for Pekin on June 27 in obedience to an order from the Em press to suppress the Boxers end to make peace with the Powers. He lndosed the opinion that he is the only man In China capable of coping with the situation. He said he believed the Boxers to be a "rabble led away by fanat icism and anti-Christian feeling," but he also declared that the native Christian leaders were mucti to blame inasmuch as they engendered litigation in the native courts. He asserted that he did not re gard the Boxers as a poliiical society and that in his opinion the Empress had been misled and misinformed. Prince Li said lie had been officially in formed that til** Taku forts fired upon the allied fleet because the admirals sent an ultimatum calling for the removal of the soldiers. He does not Interpret that act as a declaration of war and he has not received any instructions- to the effect that war has been declared. His remedy for the situation is to de capitate the leaders of the Boxers, to send their ignorant followers home, and to make peace with the Powers. CENSORSHIP IN RUSSIA.

MINISTER Wl GETS NEWS. He Does Not Relieve Many of the Re ports From Chinn. Washington, June 22.—Reassuring ad vices regarding the condition of affairs in Central China have come to Minister Wu of the Chinese legation here. The Viceroy ot he provinces of Hanan and Hupe has sent a cablegram saying that peace and order prevail in that sec tion of the country. At the same -time some, apprehension is felt that any at tempt by foreign warships to ascend the Yang-<se-Kiang river for the protection of foreigners in those provinces may excite the natives and arouse their suspicions. Such an intimation was conveyed in the Viceroy’s dispatch. Mr. Wu communicated the contents of the cablegram to Secretary Hay when he called at the State Department to-day. The minister is still without any ad vices touching affairs in Northern China, and expresses a disinclination to discuss what may be the condition of affairs in Pekin. Contenting himself with an expression that many of the reports regarding con ditions in China, particularly at T.en Ts.n. are wilful misrepresentations designed to injure the Chinese in the eyes, of the world, the minister is awaiting with Ab sorbing Interest s me and flnl e Information. "Hew. absurd ihe statement that l,foo foreigners in Tl n Tsin have been killed," he said in a tone of disgust. "Why, there are no.- as many foreigners as that in ihe city. When I was there several years ego their number did not exeed several hun dred. No. 1 am sure these reports must be all wrong. Nor do 1 understand the state ments regarding the bombardment of the cl y, or by wh m it D being done. We must watt some definite news before arriving at a conclusion as to the exact state of affairs. “Another report I have seen published U incomprehensible to me. I refer to the ftory saying that the foreign forces at tacked the Chinese military school at Tien Tsin. Now what did they w r ant to do that for.’ Ti e students there probably have nothing more than a f• w small arms and I don’t see what would be accomplished by destroying the place.” ONLY A Rl MOW FROM PEKIN.

Petersburg, June 22.—The view ex pressed by both the press and politicians here is that Russia should make common cause with the other Powers In meeting the common danger in China. It is pointed out, however, that when once the lime arrives to settle the Chi nese question, Russia must regulate her true Interests, which differ greatly from those of tlie other Powers, and prevent her more particularly from definitely em barking in hostiliiies against the vast Chinese empire, her neighbor.

One thing that seems especially to bother you I>ople Is that while a house of lords ex ists nevertheless lords, earls and even marquises ere to be found among (he members of the House of Commons. This comes about from tho so-called courtesy titles borne by eldest sons and heirs. For example, take Hhe case of the Marquis of Lome, now ninth Duke of Argyll, who married the Princess Louise. He bore the title of Marquis during his fathers life by courtesy. “The peerage is divided into dukts, mar quises. earls, viscounts and barons, and the spiritual peerage Into archbishops and bishops. The title duke is very old. Han nibal was called Duke of Carthage. The Doge of Venice, was a duke. A duke Is addressed a* ‘his grace and most noble.' and by the crown ’our rlgh Urusty and right entirely beloved cousin.’ Marquises, were formerly military leaders, who guarded the limits or marches of tbe kingdom. Hence, they were called lord-4 of the marches, or marquises. They are addressed as ‘most honorable,’ an I by the crown hs ‘our right trusty and en tirely beloved cousin.' An. tar!, the old Saxon yarl, or nobleman, is etddresjied os ‘right honorable,’ and by the crown a-4 ’our right trusty and right right well bo loved cousin.’ Viscounts, of vice confess, were sheriffs in earlier days. They are ad dressed as ‘right honorable,’ and by the crown as ‘our right trusty and well-belov ed cousin.’ Barons, originally by ten ure, then by writ and now by letters pa - ent, are bearers or supporters—from the etymology of ihe word—and are styled ‘right honorable.’ and addressed by the crown as ‘our right trusty and well-1 e loved.' inii!|B The royal addresses sound like a same where you go on loelng a word, don't they? The only title by tenure, 1 think, now existent emong us Is Ihe earldom of Arundel, which the Duke of Norfolk holds by his tenure of Arundel castle: but this was confirmed by special act of Peril.i menl. Baronets and knlghls are both addressed as sir, but while Ihe former Is a title that holds with and d> trends In the family, the latter exists only during the Ufa of the holder.
