"WASHINGTON,. Nov. 20.-Representa tive Hopkins, of Illinois, chairman of the house committee on census, which committee will have charge of the legis lation affecting the apportionment of the house today expressed the opinion that there would be no decided effort during the next session of congress to decrease the congressional representation of the Southern states because of the disfran chisement of negroes. He said that in all probability the subject would be dis cussed, but he thought that, upon the •whole, the committee would favor the plan of basing representation upon the number of inhabitants. Discussing the general subject of re apportionment, Mr. Hopkins said: "The committee on census will meet during the first week of the session to frame a bill providing for reapportion ment. I think that a proposition will be adopted which will increase the present xnexnebership of the house. It has been suggested that we authorize one member \ for every 198,000 inhabitants. That seems i to be the ratio that is in general favor among the members of the commi' This proposition would entail an in creased membership of from fifteen to twenty members. "According to calculations I have made this reapportionment and would add mem bers to the house from New York and Illinois, and perhaps other states. States like Nebraska and Maine might lose mc-mbers by the proposed law. Some of the Southern states might also suffer from the proportion agreed upon, al though to what extent "cannot now be ascertained." On a basis of 198,000 inhabitants to the congressional district, Minnesota with a population of 3,751,000, will have nine members in the Fifty-eighth congress. WRECK OF THE MAINE.

Commissioner Powderly, of the immi gration bureau, will give a hearing about ■ the last of this month to a committee of the labor organizations of New York headed by the Knights of Lab?r, or! Chinese immigration. The committee also reprerents nearly all the labor or ganizations on the Pacific coast. The ob ject of the organizations is to suggest a co-operation of the Immigration bureau and the labor bodies believing that viola tions of the Chinese Immigration law if the organizations co-operate with te Im migration officials, it is thought all mem bcis of labor bodies will make it their business to watch for violations of the law, and to assist in their detention.

[JNCLE SAM'S MAILS An enthusiastic plea for wide expansion »f rural free delivery is made in the an nual report of Willam Johnson, first as listant postmaster general. He says that the extraordinary development of this ►ystem during the past twelve months under the stimulus of appropriations of 1450,000 for the fiscal year 1889— and 750,000 for the fiscal year 1900—1901 is conclusive as showing that hereafter it must be a permanent feature of the pos tal administration.

The Chinese situation was the main topic under consideration at todays cabi net meeting.

So far as our government is advised, the foreign ministers at Pekin have not yet agreed upon all points under discus sion. Mr. Conger has reported from time to time the various propositions under consideration, but lie has not yet in i that the end is at hand. Having passed over the stage of pros cription of the Chinese leaders who were responsible for the Boxer outrages, the foreign ministers are believed now to be engaged with the difficulties of indem nities and guarantees.

SYSTEM UNABLE TO THROW OFF POISON Senator Davis' Condition Seems More Serious as the Insid ious Disease Progresses. Senator Cushman K. Davis' condition shows no improvement, but rather grows worse daily. The bulletin given out by the physicians last night is less hopeful than for some time, and it indicate- that his condition.is extremely critical. The delirium continues more aggravated, an d more nearly continuous, indicating- as wtll as the urinalysis, that the ne;>hitic malady, which developed about ten days ago, is getting slowly but steadily worse. The physicians' statement is as fol lows: Senator Davis' mental aberration has been more marked and continu ous this afternoon and evening. Pulse, 10S; temperature, 99; resnira tion, 32. The amount of urea excreted in th e past few days has averaged about one-half the normal quantity. For the past twenty-four hours it has been a little less than that. —Dr. A. J. Stor.e The progress of the malady refuses to be checked by the best medical treat ment, and hope for hla recovery is gra dually weakening. .-: Yesterday morning's bulletin was somewhat encouraging. It was: Senator Davis passed a very comfortable night. Temperature 99 2-5 pulse, 104; respiration, 26. ' At Senator Davis 1 house it was stated that the physicians had reported their patient as being stronger yesterday merning than for the last" two davs Food and a tonic, were .taken in the usual quantities yWterday and digest d without discomfort.

QKEI illi lAI Lul lift) iiLUUiLllt ILLXESS OP THE CZAR IS TAKING A VERV FAVORABLE COURSE . " . ... ■' ncfliiis WAITS a HALS HEI& GRAND DIKE MICHAEL, THE CZAR EVITCH, IS PERSONA KOX GRATA » SUCCESSION TO THE THRONE HI« Imperial Majentj", Iniler (be Ex isting Russian Law, Has the Matter Praeticully in Hl« Oivn Hands. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20.—A medical practitioner of high standing in the city, who is not connected with the state serv ice, after analyzing the bulletins from Llvadia, told the correspondent of the Associated press that the illness of the czar had taken' an unusually favorable course. "Apparently," he said "there is more anxiety abroad than there is in Russia. This may be due largely to the statis tic ts of typhoid mortality in this country. But these are misleading. The mortality ! with us is due to defective care. Rus- i sia has only one physician to -every 30,- j GOO inhabitants. Furnish her with one to : every 500 as In the United States and the results, with equal care would be equally' j as favorable as anywhere else." The St. Petersburg bourse, which is chronically weak was slightly affected when the czar's illness was first made known, but a few bankers as«serted this morning that it was fully recovered. HOPES FOR A SON. Conditions are at this time peculiarly bitter to Emperor Nicholas, because ha is hoping for the birth of a son with in a few months. It is an open secret that the czarevitch, Grand Duke Michael , . now about twenty-two years of. age, is not a favor, ite of the emperor, whose supreme de sire is to leave a eon an heir to tho throne. A St. Petersburg jurist, who was asked today whether a posthumous son would inherit the throne, consulted the works of the best authorities, among them Prof. Kourkomoff, of the University of St. Pe tersburg, and Frofs. Glodosky and Alex ieff of the University of Moscow, and gave the reply: LAW OF SUCCESSION. /'Existing laws do not answer the ques tion. The manifest of Aug. 22, lb'26, af ' lords i a precedent in an affirmative sense, I but does "not lay down a general rule 1 confining itself to dealing with the par- ! j tieular case then existing. Nicholas I i iln ih manifest declared that if lie should ! ! cue before the czarimi, who was en clente, the heir apparent th e n living must I wait until the birth before assuming th ■ I powers and dignities of czar, and that if the child were a son the latter should in herit. The present czar is -eoually compe tent^ to regulate the casa ir necassary. 'i he present law of succession decree ing primogeniture, with preference to male lines and to males of female lin:s bexore any woman could succeed was in troduced by Paul T., whose mother, Cath erine 11., who reigned from 17ii2 to 3796. did not respect his rights and prepared a will by which he would have been dis inherited had it not ben destroyed im mediately upon her death. '.'Paul I. attempted to give this law a particularly holy character, declaring that all his successors to the coronation should swear to keep it inviolate. Never theless his successors enjoy the same unlimited powers as himself and several minor changes have been introduced. Jf Emperor Nivhola- should decree the succession of a daughter his will would bf- the law of the land, although it is not ■believed he would undertake it. The na cred features, oi' the law of succession which are considered absolutely binding antedate Paul I. They are the require ments that the czar shall be of the or thodox religion and that he shall not occupy any foreign throne.", THE CZAR'S CONDITION. LIVADIA, European Russia, Nov. 20.— The bulletin issu?d by the czar's physi cians today is less favorable. It says: "The emperor passed a satisfactory day yesterday. At 9 o'clock in the evening the patient's temperature was 102.2; pulre, SO. His majesty slept until 3 o'clock n the morning. His rest was broken and ! perspiration appeared. This morning hi-: condition was fairly satisfactory, temper ature, 100.4; pulse, 70." ' ' ST. PETERSBURG.

CHICAGO, Nov. &).— A mob composed of men and women'defied drawn revol vers and foug-hi with twenty policemen tonight in an attempt to lynch Harry Evans, a colored man, arrested on a charge of attacking j*even-year-old Freda Guendal. Hundreds ©t persons who had gathered around th.sj home or the little girl, whose death was feared, were great ly excited when Ejftiria. who had been captured an hour Before, was brought before his victim for 'identification. ''Hang the black scoundrel. Lynch him,'" shouted the spectators, as the prisoner was brought to the doorway of the Guendal home. The two officers who had charge of the negro, after a free Mie of their clubs on the maddened crowd, finally managed to shove Evans into th? house, where the little girl identified him as her assailant. When the mob out side learned that E\*ins had been identi fied by his victim, They became furious. and made another rush for the pri.-oner. A riot call had been sent in, and a wagonload of officer* arrived in time to prevent the crowd from overpowering the officers and securingl the negro. After a fierce struggle, in which a score of peo ple were more or less injured, the police dispersed the mob and took Evans 10 jail.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.—William K. <"ur tis wire j from Washington to the Record the following: The illness of Senator Davis, <>f Min nesota, without considering the w-ssibllity of death, is a calamffy to the nation, because, just at this time he is the most important man in the United States st-u --ate. During the last session of congress a number of treaties were hung up until after the election because each One "f thorn was objected to by certain inter ested parties who exercise more or le»s political influence. The Hay-Pauncefota treaty, which must be ratified before ai,y canal oi:i can be passed, was offensive to the Irish because it recognized our obligations as a government to the Brit ish nation. The French reciprocity treaty was objected to by the manufac turers of pinchbuck jewelry in Khode Inland and dress trimmings in New Jer sey. The sheep owners of Ohio were not willing that the coarse wool of tii ■ Ar gentine Republic, which is used only for carpetmaking, should be admitted to this; country at a reduction of 20 per cent of the Dingley duty, for fear ft would b« used to adulterate our merino wool in the manufacture of cheap clothing. There are several other treaties of re ciprocity, commerce and extradition upon which action was postponed until iifi«r the election because the Republi. an na tional committee feared to have the s^-rat^ make a record on these various points; but Is was agreed all round tint p!<.r.|>t action should be taken upon all of them at the approaching session. Then will be more or less opposition, but unle s iho Democrats, to disconcert the Republicans, offer a solid opposition all the treaties will be ratified. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that Senator Davis is the only man thorough, ly familiar with these treaties. lie is the only member of the commit on for eign relations who has mastered the complicated details and can explain tha effect upon our commerce and interna-' tional lelations of the ratification of these various conventions. Nor is it possib e during a single session for any. member of the c( mmittee to familiarize hims-e:f v.iih Hie intricate ramification^ o," the Various provisions of the reciprocity treaties. Senator Frye stands second on the committee of foreign relations, and is no doubt the ablest member of that com mittee, as well as the readiest d He understands the commercial side < t the questions thoroughly, but has given international law the sami as Senator Davis. Mr. Fry- and Senator Morgan arc qualified to take charge of the Kay-Paunceft>te treaty and thi ca-nal bill, but they know nothing tails of the reciprocity treaties. Senator Foiaker is plunging into foreign affairj and giving that subject more attention than any of the new members ol ti.e committee. Senator.Lodge is a specialist in that line, but neither of them h.a thing like th< comprehensive k ■<• that Senator Davis po&sesses and cannot !ill hi:, place.
