Probable Result of Its Meeting This After- ‘noon—Work in the States This Fall. ‘The meeting of the republican national ex- ecutive committee will be held at the Arling- ton Hotel at 8 o'clock this afternoon. Mean- while Quay, Clarkson and Fassett have been in conference and there seems to be consider- able doubt about Quay’s retirement from the chairmanship of the committee.” Most of the committee profess to be, and probably are, ig- norant of whatis to be done. Clarkson and probably two other members of the committee sre the only ones who believe that the execu- tive committee bas any right to accept the resignation. Itis mandatory that the cbair- man of the national committee shall be chairman of the executive therefore the national committee. This view is of the committee and by said, while Clarkson believes it the execu- tive committee has full power to act for the national committee, but even he does not be- lieve that the executive committee can elect the successor should the vacancy be Quay’s friends insist that he will not serve dur- ing another cam; and that his retirement may be pottponed, but cannot be prevented. It may be that the result of the meeting will be that he will simply the cares of [pr tion, leaving the authority in the hands of Clarkson, the vice chairman, it is gon- erally believed, will be done. TO CALL THE NATIONAL OOMMITTER. It is given ont that the only other thing of any importance to be done is to call the na- tional committee together in October to fix the time and place for holding the national con- a important things to occupy the attention of the committee, and the extraordinary precau- tions for secrecy which gre being taken — the gene! surroun i¢ meeting gives color rey ilgent eg Theeneetine is strongly anti-Harrison, and one of the mbers intimated privately that there Jk progred that developements between now and the time of the national convention meeting will be such astolead Mr. Harrison to abandon the idea of a second nomination. The wish ma} be the father of the thought in this case, but this committee had the shaping of affairs it might not be weil for Mr. Harrison's ambition. ‘TO LOOK AFTER THE STATE ELECTIONS. Properly the work of the national executive committee does not begin until nearer the time of the national convention and is not heavy until the work of the conventioa is done. At this time, however, there is considers! anxiety about the important state elections which take place this fall. I is, of course, im success of the national ticket Party, should not encounter any serious set backs this fall, and the national managers propose to take an active part in work for victory in Ohio, New York and Iowa. The state league of republican clubs in New York hold « convention on the 5th of next month to make preparations for the campaign there, though itis hot uanal for the league to do anything until after the convention. It is understood that in the other states where the fight is on this fall there will be league meotings. It is understood that Mr. Clarkson, as president of tho national wants to secure a close co-operation between the executive committee and the leagues, the committee to direct and systema work. The treasury of the national committes ts empty and some plan will probably be devised for raising money for immediate wre. In this connection it is said that there will be a request in the meeting today for a report on finances with a statement of the result of the certificate plan of raising money which was dovised by ir. Quay durirg the last campaign. Mr. Clarkeon is said to be anxious to have the ‘onumitice pay more attention to lows this fall ‘than they have in the past. ‘There has been complaint that Mr. Quay aa chairman of the committee has considered Pennsylvania to the detriment of other sections, and that as » re- sult Towa has passed into the line of doubéful stat THE FIEST EXAMINATION, Sixty Clerks in the Post Office Department ‘Will Try for Promotion. Some time ago Postmaste: General Wans- maker decided to establish in the Post Office Department a system of examinations for pro- motion. An order to that effect was issued and a board was designate: consisting of W. B. Cov- ley, the chief clerk of the department; Jas. A. Vose, the appointment clerk; Thomas P. Marche, first assistant’s office; J. H. Crew, sec- ond assistant’s office, and E. 8. Hall of the third assistant's office. The board has de- voted considerable time to the prepara- tion of suitable questions and tomorrow the first examination will beheld. As all clorke in the grade below the one where the vacancy exists and employed in the division are eligible toenter the examination, there will be quite a large number of candidates. There are some four vacancies to be filled besides those in the grades below which will be caused by the pro- motions. For the €1,200 vacancy in the tirst assistant’s office and those in the grades below there will be eleven clerks examined. For the $1,600 vacancy in the third assistant's office there will be twenty-seven exumined, and for the 1,000 vacancy in the dead letter office there will be twenty-one examined. ‘There is also a Yacancy in the chief inspector's ofice, which is to be The first examination will be attended by some sixty clerks. This number, however, does not inclnde all that have theright to enter tho examination, if they wish to do s0, ‘ge room in eo building occupied by the supply division, on E street between ib and 7th, hasbeen fitted up expecially for this occasion, and there is an abundant supply of tables and stationery. The examination is » decided novelty and the outcome of this one Jutched with good deal of in- terest. As no promotion can made except through examination, it is likely that all the desks, with the exception of those in the highest grade, will have occasion to make @ personal test the potency of the questions advised by the board. ‘World's Fair Matters, ‘The Latin-American department of the world’s fair has just received a cablegram from announcing that the congress of Co- Bogota lombia has appropriated $80,000 in gold to de-| smaller caf fray the expense of making = proper repre- sentation of the resources’ of that country at | *Tolled the Chicago exposition.

The count of the farm and home has been completed by the census office, and the results are very nearly correct, though the figures are subject to slight modifications. Theré were returned by the enumerators for the United States 2,491,990 farms and homes occu- pied by owners and incumbered by mertgages. ‘This number includes some farms and homes about which enumerators made no report and which belong partly to the class of hired and partly to the class of owned free, as well as partly to the class of owned and incumbered. Until this unknown quantity, due to the failure of the enumerators, is clim- inated, it may be ied as’ approx- imately true that 2,250, families of the 500,000 families of ‘the United States ocenp and own incumbered farms and homes, ab that 10,250,000 families occupy farmsand homes that are either hired or owned free. The proportions of hired and owned free will be known when the population division completes the count of tnewe points. The pre- liminary results indicate that the average bt for a farm in lowa is 21,283: home, $719; aver- | mil age for farm and home, $1,140. If these averages hold good for the Union, the incumbrance on the farms and homes of the United States occupied by owners is about $2,565,000,000. The success of this investiga- tion bas been far beyond the anticipations of the most experienced statisticians, and the result will be of immense interest and value to the nation. The first volume relating to re- corded indebtedness will probably go to press this year. Incomplete returns from several Western states indicate that farms and homes ble | Ste mortgaged for about one-third the value put upon them by the owners. ENGLAND AND WALES. Supt. Porter Explains the Reason for Their Decrease in Population. Mr. Porter, superintendent of census, was asked to explain the reason for the decrease in the increase of the population of England and Wales. “The population of Eng- land and Wales,” said Mr. Porter, “ac- cording to the census of 1881, was 25,974,439, an actual increase of 3,262,173 over previous Gocades or 14.30 per cent. In 1891, population about 29,000,000, an increase of 8,025,661 or only 11.64 per cent. Here we have a decrease in rate of increase from 14.30 per cent to11.64. Figures for the United States show that ac- cording to the census there was an increase of 24.57 from 1880 to 1890 as against 30.03 from 1870 to 1330. “In both of the above cases there was a marked falling off in the rate of increase. If we compare the rato of increase for England, 1881 to 1891, with the rate for 1871 to 1S8S1 we find that tke former is just 0.81 times the latter. If in like manner we compare the rates of in- crease for the United States we find that the rate from 1880 to 1890 is just 0.82 times the Fate of increase from 1870 to 1880. “From @his we see that the failing off in the rate of increase in England is just the same percentage as the falling off in the rate of in- crease in the United States. Whatever criti- cisems have been made i Btates census of 1890 on this fore, it seems to me, apply with equal force enumaration of 189i for England and to the Wales.” THE WARE IN CHILL Ne Assistance Should Be Given te the In- surgent Forces.
