the same, namely, 82.22, 82.61, and 82.30 per cent. As to each of the other three countries in which the percentage of aliens is largest, we find that, as to natives of Norway and Sweden, while there are 82.18 per cent of the total number aliens, only 68.06 per cent of the male heads of families are aliens; as to persons born in Italy, the percentage of aliens being 91.98, the percentage of alien male heads of families is 88.67; and among the persons of Russian birth, the percentage of alien males of voting age being 87.39, the percentage of male heads of families is 82.21.

The percentages indicate also that naturalization has advanced farther among the persons born in Ireland than among those of either of the other countries represented. Next to persons of Irish birth, the largest percentage of naturalization appears among persons born in Germany, the total number of such persons, however, being quite small.

Naturalization has advanced least among the natives of Italy, and affects only about eight persons in every 100 males of voting age found residing in rented tenements; while among the persons born in Russia naturalization affects only about 13 males of voting age in every 100.

LENGTH OF RESIDENCE IN THE UNITED STATES OF FOREIGN MALE HEADS OF FAMILIES.

This subject is covered by a statistical presentation for each of the countries included in the preceding tables as to naturalization, and shows the length of residence in the United States, classified under different term periods, as indicated by the designations in the table.

The first table relates to the natives of Canada.

Our analysis will be confined to the recapitulation. Of course, none of the naturalized males appear in the age periods under five years, as the condition precedent to naturalization

requires five years' residence. Of those who have been naturalized, 27 have resided in the country 5 years but under 10; 71, 10 but under 15; 51, 15 but under 20; 104, 20 but under 30; 48, 30 but under 40; 16, 40 but under 50; while six have been here 50 years and over.

As to the aliens, 13 have resided in the United States less than one year; 16, 1 year but under 2; and 82, 2 but under 5. As to all these aliens, naturalization is not yet possible on account of insufficiency of residence. Of the aliens who might naturalize, so far as affected by length of residence, the largest number, 117, have resided here 5 years but under 10; 92, 10 but under 15; 36, 15 but under 20; 57, 20 but under 30; 20, 30 but under 40; nine, 40 but under 50; while three have been here 50 years and over. For one alien, the information requested was not returned.

The next table relates to the natives of Great Britain and Colonies.

Of the whole number of naturalized persons of this place of birth, 14 have been in the country 5 years but under 10; 26, 10 but under 15; 22, 15 but under 20; 65, 20 but under 30; 36, 30 but under 40; 31, 40 but under 50; and seven, 50 years and over.

Of the whole number of aliens, 42 have not resided here sufficiently long to become naturalized, and of these, 35 have been here 2 years but under 5. Of the others, 45 have resided here 5 years but under 10; 31, 10 but under 15; 13, 15 but under 20; 30, 20 but under 30; 10, 30 but under 40; five, 40 but under 50; and two, 50 years and over. For one alien the information as to length of residence was not returned. The greatest concentration of numbers appears in the period indicating five but under 10 years' residence.

The next table relates to the natives of Ireland.
