mainly from the ' *• Statesman' s Year-Book' ' for 1895. For Cities of the United States see page 375.
Note. —The population of Chinese cities other than Canton, Pekin, and Shanghai is omitted,
because reports respecting it are utterly untrustworthy. There are forty or more Chinese cities whose
inhabitants are numbered by rumor at from 200, 000 to 1,000,000 each, but no official censuses have
ever been taken; and setting aside consideration of the Oriental tendency to exaggeration, there is
reason to believe that the estimates of population in many instances covered districts of country bear-
ing the same names as the cities, instead of definite municipalities.

The Dominion of Canada has an area of 3, 457, 000 square miles, and comprises one- sixteenth
of the land surface of the globe. It is the largest of all the British possessions, Australia, the
next in size, containing 2, 944, 628 square miles. The Government of Canada is Federal, centred
at Ottawa, which city is the capital of the Dominion, while the seven provinces and the North-
west Territories have their respective local legislatures. The head of the Federal Government
is the Governor- General, appointed by the Queen of Great Britain, and holding office for five

each of whom receives a salary of §7, OOO per annum, except the Chief Justice, who is paid an
additional §1,000. From the decisions of this Court the only tribunal to Avhich appeal can be
made is to the Judicial Committee of the Imperial Privy Council of Great Britain. The only
other Federal Court is the Exchequer Covu-t, presided over by a single Judge, for trying cases
connected with the revenue. All others are of a provincial character, limited to jurisdiction in
their respective provinces only.

of the late International American Conference, for the prompt collection and distribution of commer-
cial information concerning the American Republics. It publishes translations of the taritts of the
countries of Latin America reduced to the Uuited States equivalents; also handbooks of these coun-
tries, and a monthly bulletin containing the latest information respecting their resources, commerce,
and general features. Replies are also furnished to inquiries in relation to the commercial and other
affairs of the countries, and items of news giving recent laws of general interest, development of rail-
