Discussing the Question of Separate Ex-
hibits by Colored People.
CHICAGO, November l0-The principal and
most important subject now discussed in
Worlds Fair circles is that as to whether the
colored people shall have a separate exhibit or
any show at all at the coming exposition. Tho
representative colored people of Chicago will
hold meeting on next Wednesday at Bethesda
Church to discuss that question. Protests are
coming from all over the United States against
the fact that President Harrison, in his Worlds
Fair appointments, hasn't recognized the col
ored race.
communication from a colored society to
President Palmer says: "Colored men do not
desire that the exposition shall set apart for
them separate department in order that they
may compete with the other exhibitors at the
exposition, or in any wise appear in contrast
with other exhibits. Their sole object is to
show to the entire world, which will have rep
resentatives here, as well as to their country
men, what the one time slave has really ac-
complished since he was given his freedom" :"
They demand that bureau for colored exhibits
be established.

tant General McKeeyer. in his annual report to
the Secretary OF War, devotes much space to
the subject of military colleges He says that
the reports of the officers performing the du-
ties of professor of military science and tactics
at the universities and colleges give gratifying
evidence of the increasing interest manifested
by the college authorities in such a course of
studies and exercises. Comment is made upon
tile fact that European officers quarters are
heated at Government expense, and it is recon-
meuded that a reasonable allowance for fuel be
allowed our own officers.
General McKeever says he Is convinced that
the real primary cause of desertion is the al
most certain immunity of the offender from
Arrest The present reward of $50 for the ar
rest of q deserter has proved totally inadequate,
as is abundantly proven by the very small per-
centage of arrests compared to the number of
desertions General McKeever therefore earn
estly recommends that the present reward be
Increased to 500, which, Ne says Is sum that

penses incident to arrest, holding and delivery.

A MIsAPPREHENsION, THIS TIME.

The statement giyen~elseRhere with re-
gard to the pressure of water at the South
side fire on Sunday makes it tolerably clear
that the charge of insufficient water supply
in that case was unfounded. The appear

that the Fire Department, at the request of
the manager of the Clinton works, turned
their streams upon the bottom of the burn

Inspection of Export Cattle Regarded as q
Beneficial Scheme.
ST. LOUIS, November l0-"This morning the
laws in reference to the inspection of live stock
intended for export 60 into effect" said w. L.
Lane, of Cheyenne, who is largely interested in
Colorado and Wyoming ranches. 'It is antici-
pated that it will be of great benefit. not only
to cattle breeders, but also to those who raise
sheep and hogs. For the last seven years there
has been continued fight made by Europeans
against the admission of American meat pro-
ducts, on the ground that they were diseased,
but it was not until about four years ago that
laws were passed that seriously hampered our
trade with transatlantic countries.
THE fear of introducing disease was never
anything but fimsy pretext, the real reason
for the prohibitory laws being found in the
fact that our shipments of live cattle threat
ened to ruin the breeders of England and
France. No law could be passed In a country
like England that would raise the price of the
necessities Of life for the benefit of single
class, and therefore this cry of diseased beef
was raised"

was inadequate. in view of the previous
complaints, but in this case the conclusion
seems to have been erroneous. THE DIS
PATCH Is, of course, ready to correct any
error of that sort without abandoning its
position that an investigation of the general

that the facts should be clearly ascertained.
When that is done the course to be taken

KOCH's CONSUMPTION CURE,

Suggestion That America Send q Man to

New York Press.l
The German Government has become so well
convinced that Prof. Koch, of the Berlin Uni
versity, has discovered cure for consumption
that the Emperor has himself assisted in draft
ing bill to be presented to the Reichsrag, ap-
propriating funds to enable the professor to
instruct all the physicians in the German army
how to administer his remedy. The German
professor is not mercenary over his discovery,
but wishes it to become universally known to
the medical profession for the benefit of man.

The interest taken in his work by the Ger
man Government suggests the idea that rep
resentative American medical man. with cre-
dentials, If necessary. from the national Gov
ernment, might wisely be sent to Berlin to seek
Information from DR.. Koch for the benefit of
consumptives in America. Consumption Is the
most fatal and dreaded disease of the United
States. 1t is national in its extent.

NATURAL GAS REVIVAL.

There is change in the cry about natural
gas. Instead of rumors of a deficiency, it is
stated on the best authority that all the
companies have plenty of gas. The infor-
mationwhich we print to-day may serve to
open our readers eyes wider than ever to
the situation. Whatever may be the object
of those who have fostered the scare about
natural gas, il is very plain that the fright
has no solid foundation in fact. The con-
nection between alleged shortages and de-
sire to dip deeper into the public's purse is
worth watching.

THE statement that Commander McCalla,

against cruel punishments, it certainly comes
under the head of unusual ones.

The new Constitution Of Mississippi seems to
be a sort of self-adoptable thing. At least it
is not to be submitted to the people for ratifi.
cation or rejection. 1t is in some way to go
into operation by virtue of its own inherent
force or vitality. 1t has heretofore been the
common opinion in this country that no power
could put Constitution in operation over the
people of State except themselves There Is
certainly good deal of the autocratic idea in
the Mississippi plan.

Some time ago railroad men engaged in a

safest position for traveller to assume when

that the person who took a seat OH the right
hand side of the middle car of the train, in a
seat as near the middle as possible. would have
better chance of escaping injury in an acci-
dent than one who sat Somewhere else.
~ never was satisfied that there was any
thing in that theory" says A. D. Martin. St.
Louis travelling man, "but it is astonishing to
notice how many people believe in it. You see
the effects of the publication everywhere you
go on railway train. People crowd the middle
car of train and get on the right hand and as
near the middle of the car as they can. l have
seen on the Iron Mountain the seats on the right
hand side of the car crowded, although it was
sunny there, while the seats on the other side
were nearly empty"
