GENERAL SUMMARY.
The total population returned at the rrwelfth Census of the United States, ta;ken as of June I, 1900, as shown by table 1, is '76,303,387, including not only persons enumeratt1<l in the several states and organized territories but, in addition, those enumerated ::Lt military and naval stations abroad (including naval vessels), :1nc1 in Alaska, Hawaii, Indian rrerritory, and Indian reservations.

'l1he distribution of the population at the Twelfth Census, according to the several elements of which it is composed, is clearly epitomized in the above table. It shows, :first, the aggregate numbers comprising each class in 1900 as compared with 1890; second, the percentage which each element constitutes of the total population at each census period, and third, the absolute and proportional increase of the several elements since 1890.
li..,rom table 4 it appears, with respect to sex, that the males number 39, 059, 242 and constitute 51. 2 per cent of the total population in 1900, while the females number 37, 244, 145 and constitute 48. 8 per cent. Frnm the percentages given in the above table there has been, apparently, no change in the proportion of the sexes in 1900 as com--------------------
1 Alaska, 32,052; Hawaii (Hawaiian census of December 28, 1890), 89, 990; Indian Territory, 180, 182; Indian reservations, etc., 145,282.

pared with 1890, but, as a mfttter of fact, there is a slightly larger proportion of females now than there was ten years ago, the percentage decimals if extencled to the hundredths place showing for females 48.81 per cent in 1900 as compared with 48.76 per cent in 1890, and for males 51.18 in 1900 as against 51. 23 in 1890.
There is a difference in favor of males at the present census of 1,815,097 as compared with an excess of males for the equivalent area in 1890 of 1,560,370, these figures showing, also, that the females have gained relatively wit.h regard to the males since 1890.
There has been an increase in total population of 13,233,631, or 21 per cent, since 1890. This increase is made up of 6,744,1'79 males and 6,489,452 females, representing an increase in males of 20. 9 per cent and an increase in females of 21.1 per cent.
Considered with respect to general nativity, there are, according to the :figures of the present census, 65, 843, 302
native born persons and 10,460,085 foreign born persons, the latter element constituting 13. '7 per cent of the total population in 1900. The equivalent area had h 1890 a total of 9, 308, 091 foreign born persons, representing 14. 8
per cent of the entire population enumern.ted ten years ago. 'The foreign born element of our population has increased
since 1890 only 12.4 per cent as against an increase in native born population of 22. 5. per cent. The foreign born show an absolute increase during the decade of 1,151,994, while ~he native born have increased in ten years 12, 081, 637.
Analyzing the results according to color ancl rn,ce, it is seen tlrnt the population in 1900 is made up of 66, 990, 802
white persons and 9, 312, 585 colored i)ersons, the latter figure comprising 8,840, 789 persons of :negro descent, 119,050 Chinese, 85,986 Japanese, and 266,760 Indians. The corresponding figures for 1890 showed a total of 55,166,184 white persons, 7,488,788 persons of negro descent, 126,778 Chinese, 14,399 Japanese, nnd 273,607 Indians, the total colored element in 1890 comprising, in . all, 7, 903,572 persons.
'l1he colored element constitutes 12. 2 per cent of the total population in 1900 as against 12.5 per cent in 1890,
the negro element alone representing of the total population 11. 6 per cent in 1900 and ll. 9 per cent in 1890.
These figures show a loss, therefore, of three-tenths of 1 per cent in the proportion of persons of negro descent in 1900 as compa1·ed with 1890, and a corresponding increase in that for the whites.
The white population shows an increase since 1890 of 11,824,618, or 21.4 per cent, while the colored element as a whole shows an increase ':fl.uring the same period of 1,409,013, or 17.8 per cent. _ There has been an increase during the past ten yea16 in
persons of negro descent of 1,352,001, or 18.1 per cent, ancl in Japanese of 71,58'7, or 497.2 per cent. riihe Chinese, on the other ha.nd, show a loss since 1890 of 7, 728,
or 6.1 per cent, while the Indians have decreased from 273, 607 in 1890 to 266, 760 in moo, equivalent to a los~ of 2. 5 per cent.
Thti aggregate of GG, 900, 802 white persons in 1900 is macll• up of 56, 740, 739 native white persons, constituting 74.4: per cent of the total population, and 10,250,063
foreign white persons, constituting 13.4, per cent of the total population. Native white persons in 1900 are in turn subdivided into 41,053,417 persons of native parentage and 15, ti8 7 ,322 persons of foreign parentage, constituting, respectively, 53.8 per cent and 20. 6 per cent of the total population. Comparing the percentages for these same elements in l 8HO and 1900 it appears i?hat native white persons constitute a somewhat larger proportion of the total population in 1900 than in 1890, due to a relative increase of 2. 3 per cent in the proportion for native white persons of foreign parentage and a relative decrease of niue-tenths of 1 per cent in the proportion for native white pt•rsons of native parentage.
I'he native white element of our population as a whole has increased 23.3 per cent since 1890, while the foreign white element has increased only 12. 2 per cent. The native white element of foreign parentage has increased during the past ten years relatively twice as fast as the native 'vhites of native parentage, or 18. 9 per cent for those of native parentage as compared with 3G.2 per cent for those of foreign parentage.

As stated in the footnote to table 5, all natives of Alaska born previous to its acquisition in 1867 were classed in 1890 as foreign born, but at ~he census of 1900 all natives of Alaska, irrespective of age, are classed as native born.
The number of na;:tive and foreign born in Hawaii in 1800 was determined from the Hawaiian census report for that year as follows: Native boru-natives, 34,436; halfcastes, 6, 186; Hawaiian born foreigners, 7 ,495; total, 48, 117. Foreign born-Americans, 1, 928; British, 1,344; Germans, 1, 034; French, 70; Portuguese, 8, 602; Norwegians, 227; Chinese, 15,301 ; Japanese, 12, 360; Polynesi:ms, 588; other nationalities, 419; total, 41,873.
The 325,464 Indians and other persons reportecl as living in the Indian Territory and on Indian reservations in
1890 were not classifi.ecl at that census according- to whether they were native or foreign born, but as they wore undoubtedly very nearly all of native birth, they have been so considered for the purposes of this discussion.
Comparing the general results presented in tn.ble O, then~ has been an increase during the decade in native born of 12,081,637, or 22.5 per cent, and in foreign horn of 1,151,994, or 12.4 per cent. 'rhe popnfatiou as a wholt~ increased during the same period 21 per cent. 'rlw increase in foreign born since 1800 h:ts been small as enmpared with the incren.se in the 11ative element, and a gla1wci at the figures presented in table 6 for the several Ht.ates and territories makes it apparent that, aside from tho increases shown by a few of the north central n.nd we:-;torn states and territories, practically a.11 the increase in the foreign born element is confined to the North A1ilautic states. The full purport of this ch:tnge in the difitrilmtion of this element of our popnlu.tion throughout tlw country, especially as compn.red with the eonditi011H whieh prevailed during the preceding decade, is not sem1 uu ti I the results are presented in the geographical order of tlw states and territories, as indicat<.>d by table 7.
Leaving out of consideration the foreign born in Alm~ka and Hawaii in 1890 and 1900, and those enumera.ted in 1900 at military and naval stations abroad and~ thereforn, not credited to any state or territory, there rmnains a total of 10,341,276 foreign born persons in llJOO as compar<1<l with 9,249,547 in 1890 and 6,671:.1, 943 in 1880. ~L1he dif.1-tribution of the foreign born element by geographical divisions at the last three census periods was as follows :

Aecording to this summary, the foreign born element in the United States proper has increased c1 uring· the last teu years only 1,091,729, or 11.8 per cent, as against an increase from 1880 to 1890 of 2,5G9,604, or 38.5 per cent. . The proportional loss in the increase of the foreign born is even more appar~nt when the results for the several geographical divisions during the past two decades are compared. 'l1he figures of increase for the last ten years show that the North Atlantic division is the only section of the country in which the foreign born have the same p.roportional increase as the native element of the populat10n, the per:e11tages of increase _in this division during the decade hPmg 22. 5 for the foreign born and 20. 5 for the natin~ born. 'l'here was au increase however in th f . ' ' e ore1gn bo1:It in thi~ division from 1880 to 181:!0 of 38.1 per

(sec tal)h~ 7) it is seen that there has beeu an i11ere:t1·w in 3 statcH only, namely, Illinois, 124,400; l\finnesota, 37, 062; and North. Dakota, 31,630.

'l1here has been an increase of not quite 10 per cent in
persons of foreign birt~ in the Westeru division during the past ten years as agamst an increase of more than 50
per c~nt during the preceding decade. In 1880 there were practwally half a million (500, 062) for0ign horn versons
in this division, and this had been increased in 18 90 to 770, 910, representing an increase in ten years of 270, 848, or 54. 2 per cent. During the past ten years, however, there has been an increase of foreign born in this division of only 7 5,411, equivalent to 9. 8 per cent, making a total for 1900 of 846,321. With the exception of Nevada, which has decreased in both native and foreign born, there has been a gain since 18 90 in foreign born in each state and territory comprising the Western division, but the ·proportional increases for Utah and California are nominal only, being 1. 3 per cent for the former and threetenths of 1 per cent for the latter. The largest numerical increases in the foreign born in this diviRion during the past ten years are 23, 971 for :Montana, equivalent to an increase of .55.6 per cent, and 21,359 for Washington, equivalent to an increase of 23. 7 per cent.
In the South Atlantic division the foreign born increased 7,505, or3.6 percent, from 1890 to 1900 as against an increase from 1880 to 1890 of 34,267, or 19. 7 per cent· In :Maryland and South Carolina there has been a positive loss in foreign born since 1890, the loss in Maryland representing 362 persons as compared with an increase for the 1)receding decade of 11,490. There was also an increase of foreign born in Florida from 1880 to 1890 of 13,023, but during the past ten years this element in that state has been increased by 900 only, making the foreign born now number 23,832 as against 22, 932 in 1890.
In the South Central division the foreign born have increased 11.1 per cent since 1890 as compared with an increase during the preceding ten years of 17. 3 per cent. ':l1here has been a large numerical increase in the foreign born during the ·last ten years in Texas and Oklahoma, and

This table shows, first of all, that even up to 1890 the llatives of Germany, Ireland, Great Britain, Canada and Newfoundland, and Norway and Sweden practically dominated the immigration to this country, these five classes combined having contributed very nearly 13,000,000
(12,711,3 ll) out of a totnl of 15,427,657 immigrants to • Tune 30, 1890. From 1891 to 1900, however, they have contributed out of a total of 3,fJ87,564 immigrants only 1,489, 695, or a little more than two-fifths as against very nearly three-fourths for the ten-year period ending in 1890,
more than four-fifths for that ending in 1880, and fully nine-tenths for those ending in 1870 and 1860, respectively.
It also shows that this decline in the proportion represented by the heretofore dominant factors of our immigration h~s been in part offset by a very material increase during the past ten years in the proportion of immigrants arriving from Austria-Hungary (including Bohemia), Italy, Russia, and what was formerly Poland, countries from which prior to 1880 no considerable amonnt of immigration had been received. Since 1880 they have come into the country very rapidly, so that, although they constituted only about 1 per cent of all the immigrants during the ten years ending in 1870 and only 6.4 per cent of those who arrived during the decennial period ending in 1880, they represented more than one-sixth of the total number of immigrants from 1881
to .1890 and folly one-half of all from 1891 to 1900. In fact, for the decade just closed, each of these three classes of immigrants constitutes a larger proportion of all the immigrants than is shown for any of the countries from which the bulk of the imrnigra.tion formerly came. Germany, which contributed more than one-third of all the immigrants for the ten-year periods ending in 1860 and 1870 and more than one-fourth of all the arrivals during the next two periods, has furnis~ecl barely one-seventh of the immigrants during the past ten years, while Ireland, which contributed more than two-fifths of all the immigrants from is21 to 1850, more than one-third of those from 1851 to 1860, and very nearly one-tifth of those from 1861 to 1870, has furnished but a little more than one-tenth of the total number for the decade en cling in 1900. Besides the change in the character of the more recent i°mmigration, there has been a considerable diminution in the munber of immigrants since 1890, or practically 1,500,000 less immigrants from 1891 to 1900 than from 1881 to 1890.
These two reasons will account largely for the large proportion of the increase in the foreign born during the decade shown for the northeastern states at:1 compared with the relatively small increases shown for the other sections of the country in which the decline in the older foreign elements has not been offset to any great extent by the introduction of the newer classes of immigrants.
Of the entire population in 1900 the native born con-. stitute 86. 3 per cent and the foreign born 13. 7 per cent.
This is not as large a proportion of foreign born as in 1890, when this element constituted 14.8 per cent of the total population as against 85. 2 per cent for the native born. The varying percentages of foreign born in the several states and territories in· 1890 and 1900 are given in table 8.

In the United States proper the largest proportion of foreign born is found in North Dakota, this element constituting 35.4 per cent of the entire population of that state in 1900 as compared with 42. 7 per cent in 1890,
the total population at the latter census including Indians and othe1· persons specially enumerated. 'rhe next largest percentages of foreign born in 1900 are 31.4 for Rhode Island, 30. 2 for Massachusetts, 28. 9 for Minnesota, 27. 6 for Montana, 26.2 for Connecticut, and 26.l for New York. These are all the states that have, approximately, one-fourth at least of their population of foreign birth, but there are, also, 9 other states which have between 20
and 25 per cent of foreign born, namely, \Visconsin, California, Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, South Dakota, ·w ashington, New Hampshire, and Illinois.
rrhe other extreme is found in the south, where the percentages of foreign born vary from two-tenths of 1 per -cent in North Carolina to 7.·9 per cent in Maryland, but very nearly all the states in this section have considerably 1ess than 5 per cent of foreign born within their borders.
15
In Hawaii there is a very large foreign element, representing very nearly three-fifths ( 5 8. 9 per cent) of the total population in 1900, but in Alaska not quite one-fifth (HI. 9
per cent) of the population in 1900 is of foreign birth. The relative proportions of foreign to native born, that
is, the number of foreign born to each 100,000 native born, in 1890 and 1900, respectively, are shown by states and territories in table 9.

At the census of 1890 there were, according to the foregoing table, 17,314 foreign born to each 100,000 native born, but this proportion has been reduced iu 1900 to 15,886.
'l1hese :figures apply to the entire area of enumeration in 1900, but, if Alaska and Hawaii are excluded, the relative proportions are 15, 757 in 1900 and 17,225 in 1890. There has been a relative increase in the proportion of foreign born in all the New England states, except Vermont, and, also, in New Jersey, North Carolina, and Oklahoma, but all the other states and territories show a decrerwe since 1890.
rnie large proportion of foreign to native born reported for Alaska in 18 9 O is due to the inclusion as foreign born of all natives born prior to 1867, as previously explained.
MALE AND FEMALE POPULATION.
The number of males and females returned at the last th1·ee census periods is presented in detail. by states and territories iu table 1 o, while their absolute and proportional increase from 1890 to 1900 is shown in table 11.

2 Decrease.
The whole numl)er of males for tbe entire area of enumeration in 1900 is 39, 059, 242 and the whole number of females, 37,244,145. r.rbese figures are to be compared with a total for 1890 of 32,315,063 males and 30, 7 54, 693 females, made up as follows:
• -\REAS. Males. Females .
States and territories (general enumeration)---- 32, 067, 880 30,554,370 Alaska (specially enumerated) ------------------ 19,248 12,804 Hawaii (census of December 28, 1890) ----------- 58, 714 31, 276 Indian Territory (specially enumerated) -------- 96,586 83,596 Indian reservations (specially enumerated)----- 72, 635 72, 647
Totals---:----------------------------------- 32,315, 063 30, 754, 693
In the ten years from 1890 to 1900 the males have increased 6,744,179, or 20.9 per cent, while the females have increase~ 6,489,4-52, or 21.1 per cent. The females have increased, therefore, during the ten years at a slightly
greater rate than the males, the increase in the population as a whole for the same period being 21 per cent.
No direct comparison can be made with the results for the preceding decade, as the census of 1880 did not comprehend the same area of enumeration covered by the last two censuses. The figures for the present census when compared with those for 1890 show, however, that the greater rate of increase in females during the decade is due to an increase in their proportion in the north central ancl western sections of the country. The males predominate in these sections, especially in the western states and territories, but owing to the change in the chartwtei· of the immigration since 1890 and the presence in these sections of a greater proportion of the older classes of immigrants, there has been a much greater increase in females than in males, so that in these states the females represent a considerably larger proportion of the total population in 1900 than they did in 1890. In all the states comprising the North Atlantic section of the country, and in most of the states in the South Atlnntic section, the males show a slightly increased proportion in 1900 as compared with 1890, these being the older states of the Union in which the conditions with respect to sex are much more nearly normal than in the other sections of the country. The distribution of the population of the several states and territories in 1890 and 1900 according to sex is expressed in percentages in table 12, the states and territories being arranged geog1~aphically for convenience of comparison.

For the entire area of enumeration in 1900 the males constitute 51.2 per cent and the females 48.8 per cent of the total population, or substantially the same proportions shown for the equivalent areas in 1890. In the North Atlantic and South Atlantic divisions, considered as a whole, there is an equal proportion .of males and females in 1900, but at the census of 1890 there was, in each case, a slightly larger proportion of females. In each of the 3
remaining divisions of states and territories the males represent a larger proportion of the total population than the females, and in the Western division the percentage in favor of the males is very large, or 56. 2 for males as against 43. 8 for females. In all the states and territories of this division the males constitute a large proportion of the to~al population, and this is. particularly the case in Montana, ·wyoming, and Nevada, where they represent more than 60 per cent of the entire population.
There is a very large proportion of males in both Alaska and Hawaii in 1900, the percentage of males in the former territory being 72.1 ancl in the latter, 69.1.
l?or the United States in its entirety, the males exceed the females in 1900 by 1,815,097, distributed by general nativity and color as follows:

Of the 1,815,097 males in excess, the foreign whites number 841,603, or 46.4 per cent, ancl the native whites of native parentage 814, 781, or 44. 9 per cent, these two elements combined representing more than nine-tenths of the entire excess. The only element of the population· in which there is not a preponderance of males is that of persons of negro descent, which shows, for the country as a whole, an excess of 54,347 females.
Considering the excess of males (or females) with reference to the proportion which it bears to the whole number of persons comprising each element of the population, the following percentages are obtained:

From this summary it appears that the excess of males constitutes 2 per cent of all the native whites of native parentage, 8. 2 per cent of all the foreign whites, 86. 6 per cent of all the Chinese, and 66 per cent of all the .Japanese, while for the remaining elements the excess of males (or females) constitutes less than I per cent in each case.
rrhe sexes are distributed very unevenly throughout the country as indicated by table 13, which shows the excess of males (or females) by states and territories arr~nged geographically.

According to the figures contained in table 14, the females have increased relatively to males since 1890,
there being to each 100,000 males, for the country as a whole, 95, 353 females in 1900 as compared with 95, 171 females in 1890. The figures up0n which these proportions are based include those for Alaska and Hawaii, but excluding these two territories the proportions are 95, 558 females to each 100,000 males in 1900 as against 95,265 females in 1890.
l'he females have decreased relatively to males since 1890 in all the states comprising the North Atlantic division and in all but Georgia, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia in the South Atlantic division. rrhere has been a relative decrease, also, of females in Ohio, Indiana, and North Dakota, in the North Central
21
division; in Kentucky, 'l'eunessee, Alabama, and Louisiana, in the South Central division, and in Arizona, in the Western division.
In the remaining states and territories there has been an ' increase in the relative proportions of females to males in 1900 as compared with 1890, particularly in the far western states and territories and in Oklahoma.

creases of these two elements in th.e South Atlantic an<l South Central divisions, in which nearly nine-tenths of all t~e persons of negro descent are found, the same coml i~ t.1ons are apparent. In the South Atlantic division there has been an increase in the white population since 1890 of 19. 9 per cent as compared with an increase in the negro.
27
JJOpulation of 14. 3 per cent, while in the South Central division the whites have increased during t,J1e same period 29.1 per cent and the negro element HU1 per cent. If the comparison in these two divisions is extended to the several elements of the white population, it is seen that among the foreign whites the1·e has not been as rapid a rate of increase as among persons of negro descent, but that among the native whites, both of native and foreign parentage, the' relative increase during the decade has been much greater. The percentages of increase in each element since 1890 in each of these t\vo divisions are as follows:
SouTI-r ATLANTIC D1v1sroN .--Native whites of native p:i.reutage, 20. 5; native whites of foreign parentage, 20.9; foreign whites, 3.2; persons of negro descent, 14.3.
SouTH CENTRAL Drv1s10N.--Native whites of native parentage, 29.2; native whites of foreign parentage, 89. 5; foreign whites, 11 ; persons of negro descent, 19.9.
The combined population of these two divisions in 1900
represents a total of 24, 523, 527 persons, of whom the
native whites of native parentage constitute 14,862,032,
or 60.6 per cent, and persons of negro descent, 7,922,969,
or 32. 3 per cent, leaving only 1, 738, 526, or 7.1 per cent, for the remaining elements of the population, as shown by the following summary:

As shown by table 20, there has been an increase in native white persons of native parentage since 1890, for the entire area of enumeration in 1900, of 18. 9 per cent as against an increase of 18.1 per cent for persons of negro descent. In the South Atlantic division as a whole, native white persons of native parentage have increased during the past ten years 20. 5 per cent and persons of negro descent 14. 3 per cent. The latter element has increased at a more rapid rate than the first named element in West Virginia and ],lorida and at substantially the same rate in Delaware, but in the remainder of this. division the element of

Of the entire population returnet1 in 1900, the white PlPment constitutes 87. 8 per cent and the colored element I 2. 2 per cent, the negro element by itself constituting 11. 6 per cent. Ten years ago the negro element represented a Hlightly larger proportion of the population, or 11. 9 per cent. In the two divisions comprisiug the southern· states an.1 territories, considc~red as a whole, persons of negro dc>s<'ent. now eonstitnte a somewhat less proportion of the total population than in l 890, bnt in certain of these states and territori(•s in which this element has increased during the dl:'e:tdL' at a more rapid rate than the whites, they constitute a slightly larger percentage of the population in 1900 than they did in 1890, namely, West Virginia and Florida, in the South Atlantic division, and ~!\..]abama, l\IississippL Oklahoma, and Arkansas, in the South Central division.

For the entire area of enumeration in 1900 there are
1 13,197 negroes to each 100,000 whites as compared with 13,575 in 1890. The North Atlantic division is the only one of the five grand divisions which shows a larger proportion of negroes relatively to the whites in 1900 as compared with ten years ago, but in this division the rela-' tive proportion is small at each census, or 1,866 in 1900
and 1, 576 in 1890. In the South Atlantic division there are 5 5, 607 negroes
to each 100,000 whites in 1900 as against 58,344 in 1800,
and in the South Central division 42, 726 in 1900 as against 46,017 in 1890.
The largest proportions of negroes to whites in 1900
are found in Mississippi and South Carolina, or a little m?re than 140,000 negroes to each 100, 000 whites in each case. The relative proportion has fallen in South Car-

Of the entire population enumerated in 1900 native white persons of native parentage cons~itute 53. 8 per cent, native white persons of foreign parentage 20. 6 per cent, and foreign white persons 13.4. per cent, representing an aggregate for the white population as a whole of 87. 8 per cent. .As compared with similar results for 1890 these figures show relatively a loss of nine-tenths of 1 per cent for native whites of native parentage, a gain of 2. 3 per cent for native whites of foreign parentage, and a loss of 1.1 per cent for foreign whites, making a net gain for the entire white population of three-tenths of 1 per cent. . The combined white element of foreign birth or parentage represents a little more than one-third of the population for the entire area of enumeration in 1900, but in the North .Atlantic division these t~o elements represent somewhat more than one-half of the total population of the division, or 28. 4 per cent for native white persqns of foreign parentage and 22. 5 per cent for foreign white persons, representing togethet 50. 9 per cent. In the North Central and \i\-'r estern divisions these same two elements, when combined, constitute very' nearly as large a proportion of the total population, or 44.2 per cent for the first named and 45. 3 per cent for the last na.med division. In the South .Atlantic division the proportion of the total populat~on represented by these two elements of the white population is very small, or only 5. 7 per cent, and this is also the case in the South Central division, where they constitute only 7. 5 per cent.
':Phis white element of foreign birth or parentage is very la.rge in certain of the states iu the northern and western sections of the country. It constitutes 77.1 per cent of the total population of North Dakota in 1900, 7 4. 9 per cent of that of Minnesota, and 71. 2 per cent of that of Wisconsin, while in Hhode Island it represents 64 per cent, in Massachusetts 61.9 per cent, in South Dakota and in Utah, 60.9 pe1· cent, and in New York, 59.3
per cent, or from nearly three-fifths to more than threefourths of the respective populations of these states.
In Hawaii the white population includes, for the purposes of the census, H.awaiians and part Hawaiians, Caucasians, and South Sea Islanders, and these combine<;l represent 43.4 per cent of the total population in 1900, or a little more than the proportions shown for Mississippi and South. Carolina.
OHINESE, JAPANESE, AND INDIAN POPUI.1ATION.
The i·eturns of the Twelfth Census show a total of 119,050 Chinese, including 3, 116 in .Alaska, 25, 767 in Hawaii, and 304 at military and naval stations abroad. In the United States proper there are, therefore, 89,863
Chinese as against 107,488 in 1890, including in thelatter number 13 specially enumerated in Indian 'rerritory ten years ago. .
Of the 89,863 Chinese in the United States proper,
31
67, 729, or 75.4: per cent, are contained in the Western \iivision of states and territories as against 96, 844, or 90.1
per cent, in 1890. This is a loss since 1890 of 29, 115
Chinese, or 30. l per cent, in the Western division, the number in California alone having been reduced from 72,472 in 1890 to 45,753 in 1900. There has, howev~r, been a slight gain since 1890 in the number oi Chinese in Arizona, Oregon, and Washington.
rrhe states and territories outside of the western clivi~ion show as a whole a gain since 1890 of 11,490 Chinese, making a net loss for the United States proper of 17,625, or 16.4 per cent.
There has been an increase in Chinese since 1890 in all of the geographical divisions, except the Wes tern, as shown by the following summary :
