AGAINST BOGUS COMMISSION MEEcHANTs.
Detective Block has been at the Capitol re-
Gently in the interest Of the bill, now pending
in the House, which makes things interesting
for the bogus or dishonest commission mer-
chants who fleece innocent agriculturists. The
necessity for such legislation was made appar-
ent by case the detective has in hand. AWest
virginia farmer sent q number of turkeys 70 a
hrm. or q pretended firm. in this city which
had besieged him with circular letters in which
it had assured him that he could get more for
his produce as the result of its (the frm's)
efforts than in any other way. The West Vir-
ginian wanted pork for his turkeys. but he
never received an acknowledgment of the re-
ceipt OF the turkeys. Therefore, argues Mr..
Block, more legislation is urgently needed.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.
Secretary Noble Apportsouing the Congrss-
siona1 APproprfatiou.

SCChV&8hy x~OOst aUpOfy1O0lnR the COnXr08-
ssonai Appropriation.
The apportionment Of portion Of the pro-
ceeds Of the sales of public lands for the more
complete endowment and maintenance Of col
leges for the benefit Of agriculture and the
mechanic arts IN the various states and terri
tories has about been completed by the secre-
tary Of the Interior. Under the provisions of
the act approved August 50 last the sum Of
$l5,000 was appropriated for an institution of
this character in each state and territory, and
for ten years 10 come this appropriation IL to
be increased each year by s1.000. The act.
however, imposes the condition that no money
be paid to institutions where distinction OF
color is made, but the establishment Of sepa-
rate colleges for white and colored shall be
held to be a compliance with the law providing
that an equitable distribution OF the fund be
made between one college for white and one
college for colored students in each Of the said
states and territories. An inquiry has been
made OF the governors ~ the several states and
territories relative TO the acceptance Of the
provisions of this act. and thus far the names
OF institutions IN twerty-seven states and terri
tories have been sent TO the Treasury Depart
ment with the ,ertiication that they were emit
tied TO the money under this act.
VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND.
The states Of Virginia and Maryland are in
cluded in the list already certified. In virgins
there are two institutes which will share thi,
fund, namely, the Virginia Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Blacksburg. Montgom
cry county, Va. for the education Of white stu
dents and the Hampton Normal and Agricul
tural College, located at Hampton, Elizabeth
county, Va, for the education Of colored
students.
There ia only one such institution in Mary
land and that is the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege, located at College Station on the Wash
ington branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road near Hyattsville. There is no distinction
the governor certifies, on account of color in
the laws of this institution.
The money, as provided by law. is to be paid
to the treasurer of the different states and ter
ritories and by that official turned over 70 the
institutions.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Senators Discussing the Probability q

Having King kaiakaus for . Colleague.
In a jocular way a number Of Senators yes
terday discussed the possibility Of the Hawaiian
Islands becoming the property Of the United
States. Members Of the committee on foreign
affairs very naturally and in thoir usually dip
lomatic manner declined to say anything Of q
matter which they knew nothing Of. IL IL
pretty clearly understood. however. that when
HAWAII makes any formal prefer the admins
tration will do its utmost TO accept the trust.
AT least one member of the cabinet and q
prominent member. is enthusiastically in favor
OF the idea. The wags thought King KalaLaua
would make an excellent senator. for the
reason that he has social qualities Of no mean
order and generally succeeds in having as
strong poker hand as any Of ms opponents.
Senators Pettigrew. Sanders and Farwoll would
find him foeman worthy of their steel.

STANLEYANA.
Incidents OF the Explorers Visit to the Capt.
toll Saturday.

Incidents Of the Explorers Visit to the Capt..
toll Saturday.
The only persons in this city who were dis
appointed in Henry NJ. Stanley are the pages oil
the House and Senate who wanted to secure
his autograph. Within FIVE minutes from the
time when the explorer arrived at the Capitol
on Saturday every boy in the building knew oil
it and at least half of them had autograph al
buns. Every one of the active youngsters that
could reach Stanley plead briefly for speci
men of his chirography, but in vain.
"My autograph will cost you $780," was his
reply to one especially persistent juvenile, who
had his book open and q pen loaded for the
occasion, and Stanley laughed one of those
rather rare cachinnatory exhibits of his at the
dismay apparent in the boys countenancc.
HE FLoATED DOWN THE PLATTE.
In the course Of the reception which the
newspaper men gave Mr.. Stanley several per-
sons referred to events in his early American
history. Mr.. Dawson of the Denver Times said
to him: "We speak Of you out in Colorado az
one Of ihso,pp pioneers. Were you in Colorado
Platte to Denver. 1t was rather an interesting
trip and there were numerous accidents. gol
through safely, though. which was more than
many others could say"
PLEASED WITH THE CAPITOL
Stanley was much pleased with the appear.
ance of the Capitol. ''There is no capitol in
the world that can compare with it. 1t is more
than magnificent" he said. OF it's interior he
said but little. The rotunda attracted his
especial attention, and he scanned its proper
tiOns for some time. He was disappointed in the
size Of the Senate chamber, but thought the
House was large enough.
THE
Nothing impressed Stanley more than the re-
cital of the Lords prayer by the blind chaplain
of the house-Rev. DR.. Milburn. The opening
petition consisted simply of that PRAYER and II
was, from dn Evolutionary standpoint perfec
ton itself. 1t was musical al the rounded tones
of a pipe organ and the shading was exquisitely
artistic and heart touching. THAT was beauti-
full, was SANKEY'S only comment.
THE EXPLORERS DoUBLR
For couple of hours after Stanley went away
from the Capitol there was a man in the west
ern reserve gallery Of the Senate who bore
some resemblance to some of the newspa per
pictures Of the discoverer of Livingstone.
Many of the Senators believed it was Starlev
and some OF the autograph fends thought SO
too until they attacked him and got an auto
graph they did not want.
THE BANQUET AT wrLIARD's.
More than one Of the men who shook hands
with Stanley on Saturday were at the banquet
given him at Wizards Hotel eighteen years ago.
and theypretty generally reminded him of that
pleasurable fact. There was much disappoint
ment be cause another banquet was not possible
at this time.
