INCREASE IN ONTARIO SMALLER THAN EXPECTED BUT TREâ€" 3 MENDOUS CAINS IN THE WEST. Aug. 11.â€"The frst ‘census issued toâ€"day gives the popuâ€" $ s# Cansda as 5288 888. These Agures are not, however, exact The weturns for the extreme northern porâ€" Kions of Quebec and Ontario, and for y unorganized ‘Territories of Athaâ€" a Franklin, Keewatin, Mackenzie, Mingava and the Yukon have not been received, and their absence is temporâ€" grily met by what is believed to be ‘ + estimate. It is not thought that fAnal returns will make a very apâ€" difference in the figurgs as #hey now stand. ~The population shows w of 505,644 ouxud with , when there were 4,833,289 perâ€" #ons returned by the enunmierators. This is equivalent to a gain of about 10 1â€"2 wer cent. The population returned at the lastâ€"census exceeded that of the previous decade by 508,420, being a gain of 12 per cent. Of the seven Proâ€" vwinces Quebec exhibits the largest gain population, having 132439 more in 1891. uuéuoba cor;u- n.x‘t.. 98,908, _ w ritish Columbia third, ‘with 91.%3?. Ontario is fourth on the list, with 53,657 to her credit. ‘New Brunswick is considerably behind Ontario, with a gain of 9,830, while Nova Scotia closely approaches _ the former with 8,720. Prince Edward Isâ€" ‘?ldc laments a loss of population, in which unenviable position she stands alone,â€" amounting to 5,820. The Terriâ€" tories are able to boast of a gain of 468 The bulletin gives the present popuâ€" lation of 21 leading cities and towns as eompared with that of 1891. Only one city shows a di)creue. viz., Kingston, which is 1,220 behind the last census. Montreal, of course, leads with an inâ€" erease of 46,045. Toronto comes next with 26,751, and Winnipeg is third, with 16,6907._ Ottawa shows a sprightly growth of 15,748, while Vancouver does well with 12,487. Calgary has the handsome increase of 8,206, and little Bydney has 7,481 more than ten years l;a.o Valleyfield shows up well with 5,540, and Brantford maintains a good place with 3,878. 4 Under the constitution the representaâ€" tion of Quebec in the House of Comâ€" mons is fixed permanently at 65 memâ€" bers. The other Provinces are to have the same number of representatives to their poplation as the number 65 bears to the population of Quebec ascertained by the census. Dividing the G5 members allowed to Quebec into the population, as shown by the returns, it gives 24,938 as the unit of representation. _On this basis the representation in the House of Commons would be as follows, comparâ€" ed with the representation under the old ;â€" 78,201, S:hrlo members ebee ...... > Nova Scotia ....

Ottawa, _ Aug. 19.â€"Chief Census Commissioner â€" Blue â€" was _ toâ€"night asked whether the population asâ€"given out by the Census Bureau would result in amy reduction in the Parliamentary representation of Onâ€" tario.

Mr. Blue replied:â€""Something depends on the correct interpretation of subâ€"section 4 of section 51 of the Britâ€" i&h North America act, which says that the number of members for a Proâ€" Â¥ince shall not be reduced unless the proportion which the number of the population of the Province bears to the n‘.glw of the aggregate population ot Canada at the then last preceding reâ€" adjustment of the number of members for the Province is ascertained at the then latest census to be diminished by oneâ€"twentieth part or upwards. Perâ€" haps the meaning of this language will be more clearly understood by quoting mumber 21 of the resolutions of the Parliament of Canada. which fofmed the basis of the act of Confederation, ahd which reads : ‘No reduction shall be m in the number of members , by any section unless its popuâ€" . shall have decreased relatively to the population of the whole union to Qfi:xtent of 5 per centum.‘ Assumâ€" % t the final figures of population . mot materially change the proporâ€" tion _ of . the population _ of Onâ€" tario _to the rest of the Doâ€" it appears to be certain that no reduction_ whatever will be made in the present representation of that Proâ€" vince in Parliament. According to the «cen "Of 1891 the population of Onâ€" tario to that %he whole country was 'l. ‘gfi. , while by the present y m proportion is as 1,000 to 2,4058.

Sir Henry Campbellâ€"Banâ€" nerman, by giving the le unceremoniâ€" ously to The Spectator and its corresâ€" pondent, is now placed in an embarâ€" rassing position. Nobody supposes that Mr. Rhodes bribed the Gladstone Govâ€" ernment to remain in Egypt by so meagre a subscription, or that the Cabâ€" inet ever discussed ~the subject â€"and authorized Mr. Schnadhorst to place its Nile policy in pawn. Consclences were not bought apyd sold, but colonial statesâ€" men interested in Imperialist quesâ€" tions made an investment in the Libâ€" eral campaign and required and reâ€" celved gatisfaction respecting their seâ€" curities, The disclosure is a most anâ€" noying one to the F.adicals, who have been denouncing Mr. Rhodes as a conâ€" spirator and a disturber of the peace in Bouth Africa, and now are confronted withâ€"the evidence of his financial dealâ€" ings with Mr. Schnadhorst. Mr. Boyd is a highâ€"minded and honorable jourâ€" malist, who has been private secretary to Mr. George Wyndham, Dr. Jameson and Mr. Cecil Rhodes, and in confiâ€" dential relations with Lord Milner and great officlals and capitalists in South Africa. His caution and reticence are so well known that his friends are conâ€" vinced that the disclosures made by him were authorized by Mr. Rhodes The motives of this colonial mystery man are obscure. For some reason he has wished the public to know that he iInvested £5,000 to help in keeping the Gladstone Government in Egypt, and that he subscribed for the home rule fund for the ulterior purpose of bringing about an Imperial federation and a Parâ€" | Mament for the whole empire. Court officlals are enjoying the first holiday which they have had since the opening of the new reign. The King has kept them employed . in a most businesslike way and has changed all the methods and habits of the court, laying out work for every one and inâ€" sisting upon having it done with preciâ€" sion and despatch. Inquiries have been ordered and new details of organization introduced, until the officials.qccustomâ€" ed to the more leisurely ways of the Queen‘s reign, are fairly out of breath. The arrangements have been made for the coronation with painstaking care, and the plans are now in process of elaboration during the King‘s absence on the continent. Four great oficials will have charge of the coronation cereâ€" monies: the Lord Chamberlain will be master of all details at Buckingham and St. James‘ Palaces; the Master of the Horseâ€"and the Earl Marshal will direct the progress of the royal procesâ€" sion to Westminster Abbey and its reâ€" turn to the palace; the Lo:J Great Chamberlain (and the highest court must decide who he is) will have charge Oof the eeremony at the abbey and the arrangements for seating the elect mn{ the titled and privileged few. The triumphal progress of the King and Queen on the day after the coronâ€" ation and the arrangements for enterâ€" taining Special Embassies and royal guests are matters of detiil already under consideration. Conditions have been transformed since the last coronâ€" ation, and the ceremony has become vastly more difficult to arrange, owing to the increased pressure of titled and mvlleged peop!> seeking nmission to abbey. Spaces have been allotted already in the abb@#, and plans made for the accommodation of the titled @lasses and royal guests, and the ofâ€" clals assert that when the Ministers, the court officials, the diplomatic corps and the colonial representatives are crowded in there will not be room for anybody else. ‘The problem of accomâ€" modating those who can present a valid claim to be present is pronounced in advance utterly impossible. ‘The great majority of those who contrive }to gain admission will be where they cannot see what goes on. During tha protracted ceremony‘the nave will be crowded, but effectually cut off from a view of the coronation service. ‘There will be a scramble for places anywhere under the roof by the -m‘;rt set for the privilege of â€" saying tHat they were present at the coronation. f The effect of Lord Kitchener‘sâ€"or ather Mr. Chamberlain‘sâ€"proclamation is not distinctly noticeable in South Africa. There are rumors of a renewal of negotlations between General Botha and General Kitchener, but these are probably fictions, like the vagaries reâ€" specting Mr. Kruger‘s letters of marque to privateers.

The Carnegie properâ€" ties also resumed toâ€"night without a break in the forces operating them, and that fact, joined with a promise of an early start at Monessen, leads the steel officlals here to take a very hopeful view of the situation.. The. strikers claim that men enough to start the Moressen mills cannot be obtained, and that they have not yet shown their hand at Duquesne and the other Carâ€" negie plants, but promise that later deâ€" velopments will indicate their strength to better advantage. News that the Milwaukee men had decided to cast their fortunes with the strikers, supplemented by the wired anâ€" nouncement that the steel men in the Riverside plant at Wheeling had voted to strirs, awakened new enthusiasm in the ranks of the Amalgamated Associaâ€" tion and its followers. ‘There had been some doubt as to the final decision of the Milwaukee lodges, And it was fearâ€" ed that if the vole.were adverse Joliet might reconsider its last previous vote, and that the chances of winning Chiâ€" cago would be greatly reduced. The Milwaukee. vote inspires the men with the hope that Chicago can be prevailed upon to once more reconsider its vote and finally decide to come over to the strikers. ‘There is a strong possibility that there will be an early Lreak in the ranks 3f the strikers at .McKeesport, Many f the unorganized men have ffeoome lissatisfied. and make no secret their threat to go boldly back to the National Tube Company and ask for their places just as soon as they gain sufficient folâ€" lowing to withstand pressure from the‘ strikers, or are given a guaranteg* of protection. Several of the men in statâ€" ing their positions say that they have everything to lose and nothing to gain by staying out. They have made no demands in their own behalf on their employers,â€" but are merely outâ€"in an effort to strengthen the hand of the Amalgamated Association. It is also claimed â€"thatâ€"sentiment â€"inâ€"the â€"cityâ€"is shifting around in reaction from the wave of unionism that swept over it, and that conservative opinion among business and professional classes favors the resumption of work by all men not directly concerned in the strike. . The strain of the strike is telling on the phlxslcnl strength of President Shatâ€" fer. e was II1 toâ€"day and kept to his bed most of the time. He declined to see any of the many callers who sought him, and his wife, who met them in his stead, explained that he wasâ€" worn out and sick, and must have rest in brder to carry on his work. McKéesport had a rathér exciting day. Early in the morning the strikers were told that during the night a special train bearing strike bmker-*ad pass~ ed through on the way to Monessen. Courlers were at once sent out and an afort made to locate the mysterious train. Later in the day a carload of immigrants were found at Brown‘s staâ€" tion, and the strikers were sure they had discovered the nonâ€"union men. Next it was reported that the Demmâ€" ler mills were to be started and the watchers around the Q":vlcnt were doubâ€" Ced‘.’ Pll]cke? ::mn ‘t‘ho river ban: and ra pots, and every #uspictâ€" ous l"‘::!f was â€" closely . watched.
