UNITED STATES

In 1880 no return of population was made for Indian Terri- tory and Indian Reservations. The population of Hawaii is 109,020 (census of 1896), and of Porto Rico, about 900,000. Should the Philippines be constituted a territory of the United States there would be added 120,000 square miles and an estimated population of 8,000,000. As regards sex, the total population of the States and Terri- tories at the census of 1890 comprised 32,067,880 males, and 30,554,370 females. At the first census of the Union, in 1790, there existed only 13 States and 4 Territories, the largest of the States, as then constituted, being Virginia, with a population of 747,610. In 1800 there were 16 States and 4 Territories, Virginia having then a population of 880,200. In 1810 the same State, with a population of 974,600, took the lead of 17 States and 7 Ter- ritories. In 1820 there were 23 States and 3 Territories, New York standing first with a population of 1,372,111. In 1830 there were 24 States and 3 Territories ; in 1840, 26 States and 3 Territories ; in 1850, 30 States and 5 Territories ; in 1860, 33 States and 8 Territories ; in 1870, 37 States and 9 Terri- tories ; in 1880, 38 States and 8 Territories ; in 1890 there were 44 States and 6 Territories. At the present time (1899) there are 45 States and 6 Territories (including Hawaii), in addition to which Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippine Islands may be considered as territorial dependencies, with their status not yet defined.
