A complete report of the 1900 census has just been published and the figures are discouraging. The frequently made assertion in England that France is dying out in tho same manner as Spain declined seems to have an echo in this census bulletin. The total population of France was last year 38,517,975. Thero was 827,297 births during the year, and 853,285 deaths. This excess of deaths over births causes the greatest alarm. There were 299,081 marriages and 7157 divorces during 1900. The French government has for years put a premium on babies by offering pensions to fathers of large families. This stimulated tho growth of population in rural districts, but the abnormally low birth rate in Paris and other large cities offsets the result. The native population of France, tne official report says, does not grow, but remains stationary This has stirred up government oflicials again, and it may be that some new and drastic legislation may result, which will primarily affect marital conditions in the large towns.

It is said that tho general purposo of the measure is to bring about self-government among the natives at the earliest practicable date, and this is to be accomplished largely by giving stability and systematl- zatlon to the many civilizing agencies of commerce, education, telegraph, etc.. Those taking part in the framing of the measure have found it a task of unusual proportions, far more formidable than that of drafting the Porto Rico civil government bill, owing to the conditions in the Philippines, the continued presence of the military branch of the transitional stage of the natives toward self-government.

The meeting was called' at the request of the Peur-sylvania company, tho cause teing tlie coal shortage in Chicago and other cities, shortage of cars and the congested condition of traffic in. general. The coal situation, however, was the moving cause of the meeting, and a discussion of it led to a \"canvas of the entire situation. In 1he opinion of many of the general manajcrs the general congestion is duo in a measure to the inefficiency in the service rendered by employees- and this view loci to a discussion of the labor and wsge situation. Although no formal resolution was passed upon the subject, it was generally admitted a raise in wages of em- plcvees would do most toward stimulating\" them to do better work, which in turn would help relieve congested conditions as well as to prevent them. PITTSBURG, December 24.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe car shortage in the Pittsburg district is worse than ever before, and as a result many mills are shut down or only iu partial operation.

President Schwab, during his recent visit here, said $3,000,000 worth of iron products was piled up in the yards of these two concerns with no present prospect of removal. Fatal Street Car Accident.

For four blocks south of Union street lhe grade is so steep that the cars have to be pulh'd up by specia) machinery. As a car containing fifteen people had nearly reached the top of the hill it broke loese in some manner, and rushed down the grade with frightful speed. It kept the track until Union street was reached. Here stood an empty car waiting to be hauled to the summit. This obstruction was crashed irto and wrecked by the runaway car, which then jumped the rails and was brought to a standstill bv a telegraph pole which it struck with terrific force, completely demolishing the car and scattering its occupants in all directions.

WASHINGTON, December 24.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDRepresentative Jenkins, of Wisconsin, who proposed a constitutional amendment to control trusts .in the last congress has introduced a measure of similar character. It provides that: Congress shall have power to regulate commerce in the United States; all private corporations, copartnerships and joint stock companies shall be under the control of congress; congress shall have power to regulate, control, prohihit and dissolve all contracts and combinations in restraint of trade or commerce. In absence ot leg:sIation by congress pursuant to this article, all powers conferred upon congress by this article may be exercised by the several states. Mr. Jenkins' amendment is substantially the same as the one he proposed last year, which received a majority vote in the house, although not the necessary two-thirds required. Brought the Body Home.

VICTORIA, Dacember 24.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe government has yet given no indication of their intention to bring on the Victoria election. In abstaining from a public declaration on this point they are playing a deeper game than would appear to the casual observer. The premier may not be a heaven-born politician, but he is rapidly learning that if he is to successfully cope_ with thc oflice- liungry amalgamation who are opposing him. he will have to use the same kind of weapons which they so artistically forge. Therefore, when the federal government have announced the date upon which an election will be held to fill the Dominion vacancy existing in Victoria, a writ returnable, on the day previous to tlie Dominion nomination day will be issued by the provincial authorities, and Mr. R. Ii. Drewry will probably contest Victoria City as prvincial secretary, Seveial, causes exist which will force Mr. Dunsmuir to take this line of action. On more than ono occasion in the past that fragment of the Liberal party who regard senator Templeman as their mouthpiece have, metaphorically speaking, handed out gold bricks with pro- niscuous extravagance to secure support to tide them and the party over a crisis. Their aim accomplished they pro- ceeded\"to propel the Juggernaut cai of their personal aims and ambitions, rc- gaidless of who were crushed beneath its wheels. Mr. George Riley will m any event be the Liberal candidate for Victoria in the coming Dominion contest, ard if Mr. vBodwell is defeated, Mr. Riley will have virtually a walkover. Both Messrs. Riley and Drewry have strengthened themselves immensely -with, thc rank and file of the Liberal ratty by absolutely refusing to countenance in any way Mr. Bodwell's candidature, and it is well known that both have expressed themselves very strongly ou the fact that Mr. Bodwell should allow his personal ambitions to jeopardize the chances of '.he party to which lu^ (Mr. Bodwell) is supposed to belong, gaining its first success in thc Capita! City.\" The majority of the Conserva lives also feel that the interests of the province Aould come before party feeling, and recognizing that with a Liberal administration at Ottawa a .member in sympathy with the government would receive greater recognition than one in oprcsition thereto, they fully,, express themselves in favor of Mr. Riley being returned. But these same0 Conservatives, together with seventy per cent of the Liberals, ara pronounced in their antagnoism to Mr. Bodwell, his aspirations and his associates. They, may sink their party affiliation so far as to countenance one whom they consider to ae-a-i'safellJjiberal.Jiut.theyijvviliJicveri assent to strengthening the hands of the fiee-booters who are backing Mr. Bodwell in his campaign. The Times has again trimmed its sails to catch the prevailing breeze, and instead of openly advocating Mr. Bodwell's candidature, it devotes ito editorial columns to veiled threats of interference from Ottawa. Senator Templeman has gone east, and it is rumored that his going was accelerated by intimation from the pow-ors that be that an explanation would be in order of tho unaccountable course taken by his piper in coming out so strongly in support of Mr. Bodwell. When sir Wilfrid Laurier was in Victoria with the thou duke cf Cornwall, lie took the opportunity by personal interviews of gaining a very clear insight into tlio actual conditions of the Liberal liurtv in British Columbia, and it was an open secret that ho expressed himself as by no means satisfied with the way things had been managed by thc old regime who had installed themselves a= keepers of the Liberal conscience in tliis province. He suggested to them as mildly as possible that it would probably benefit thc province ns well as the party if a little less attention was paid to their personal aspirations, and his advice has heen wisely followed by the majority. It can be seen that Mr. Bodwell tias a difficult task before\" him. The light will he the bitterest ever fought in tliis city, and mon and things will be handled without gloves. No mercy will be asked and none will he shown. Mr. Bodwell's chief supporters have commenced tho campaign by traducing everyone who supperts the. government. More Fr^rch Politics.

No two of the city's officials trust each other; all arj distrustful. The chief of the fire department was disliked by the chief of police aad tlie city clerk, and they, for the moment, have the ear of the mayor. Their turn will probably come next, for they arc as cordially dis- pised by oth*r city oflicials as they 'w*eli(^h\"itt^_ihr_tlTei\"i^liatred of the de^ posed chief of the fire department. These bickerings and jealousies and backbitings can only have one result, that is, the total demoralization of the city's business. The electors of Nelson have a duty to perform in January. That duty is the election of a mayor and six aldermen who will, not allow their personal prejudices to govern them7 in their relations with the subordinate officials of the city. -.7When these oflicials are found lo be competent and attentive to the duties which they are paid to perform, they slnuld be retained in office. Thoso who arc .neither competent nor attentive should be summarily dismissed. Thomas Lillie was not dismissed from thc fire department because he. was cither incompetent .or in- cttenUve. He was neither. He was a good fireman and he had the confidence of the men under him. His dismissal by mayor Fletcher and aldermen Selous and Paterson and Gillett wiJl not be looked on by fair-minded people as a reflection on either his ability or his honesty, for these four men have ceased to be fair-minded. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The Liberal party in this province is as badly in need of a brainy leader as is the Dunsmuir government, which is said to be holding on to UUce by the skin of its teeth.

They know that if the rank and file, if given a fair chance, would send them all to the rear, for there is no or.o of them either popular cr sufficiently aide to lead a party to victory.

Owing to the good financial condition of the union it will be able to disburse benefits to'members who arc sick and in need. Preparations were also made for the forthcoming annual meeting at which officers will be electedfor the coming term. Tho question as to who will be the noxt mayor of Slocan is said to turn very largely upon whether or not the 31 property owners whoso names were stricken off the voters' list by mayor York are put on by his honor judge Forin. If these names go on a prominent politician of the lake town says mayor York will be given a lively race for re-election. The friends of alderman Dradshaw are urging him to make the race. They say he could win hands down in any event, but, so far he has not given his admirers any encouragement. m m m m m (IV fly \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* i ~ --j -^ -j '.j, 'j \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD js \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD JS, -m Jg ^5* \"Mr My ^B1 -^tr ^B^^g ..-*.tmi.^\"^'^'^i.^'iS'^S>'Sl'ia\"^Si-i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'i^-_S'^\", 'J7i'i!t':9S'm!iS;iX-^SfiSi-i!i'Stf^-^i'nf'iti i H.

The returns on the 20 ton shipment of ore from tho Spotted Horse proporty did not como up to the expectations of the owners, being something under ?22 to the ton. Against this there/is a treatment rate of ?9 and a! transport rate of $4. Although the ore did not run as high as expected it is evident thatin.the Spotted Horse the owners have a very valuable gold property, Tt. A. Winerals yesterday received a telegram from colonel Evans notifying him that major Leckie had been authorized to secure a few packers In Nelson. This means that tho project of a pack transport hns been discarded, as not more than half a dozen na.ckors were enlisted at Rossland and Nelson combined. Just what thc idea ot the commanding officer is in taking half a dozen packers east it is difficult to understand, but the score of men who volunteered'their services for this work mav take it that they are not wanted.
