RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 9.--Secretary
Noble has insisted that the money appro-
priatcd under an act passed at the pres
cnt session of Congress for the support
OF agricultural and mechanical colleges
should be divided equally between the
white and cOlored institutions.
Gov. Mckinney took issue with him
on this point, and hold that this money
should be distributed in accordance with
the school laws of this State. Gov
Northen, of Georgia, took the same po-
sition, and sent this letter to Gov. Nc
Kinney on January 81:

sons for his conclusions than he has yet
presented it is my purpose to insist upon
the terms of the act of the General As
sembly of this State giving one-third to
the negro college and twa-thrds to the
State College for the whites. This di-
vision is based upon our school popula.

ed that equitable division did not
mean equal division of the money between
the colored normal school at Hampton
and the Blacksburg College AS is tn,
case in Georgia, the Virginia school law
gives the whites two-thirds and the col
ored ones one-third Of the school fund
and Gov. Mckinney went so far as to give
Mr.. Noble to understand that upon no
other condition would he accept Vir-
ginia's share of the appropriation. The
Secretary has forwarded the money here,

fifteen inches by seven is q good size.
This bag looks not unlike tea-cosy
when FIAT, only a chestnut sachet is
rounded below as we'll ss above, and
open at ono end. A loose cover Of
pretty drawn work, embroidered linen,
crochet lace or some other dainty work
is slipped over the bag when it has been
flied with the roasted chestnuts, still
in rusty. brown coats, hot from the
oven or the ashes and done to turn.
As gu ckly as may be-for chestnuts to
be toasted in perfection should be hot
the maid carries the delicacy in the
bag, which is laid upon dish, to the
dinng-room, where pats Of fresh butter
have been laid at each plate The
guests in turn slip their hands into the
opening OF the bag. taking therefrom q
handful OF chestnuts, which they de-
post on their plates, lightly breaking
away the cracking bulls with their in-
gers. Then holding the satin-like
kernel in the hand, they put piece Of
fresh butter on 1t with a silver fruit
knife, and thus eat the nut Chostnuts
taken in this way are dish for the
gods In regard to the bag, its shape
may DO varied. Two things, however,
must be borne in mind. First that the
object OF the bag is to keep the chest
nuts hot consequently 1t must be made
to admit as little air as posi- BILE; second,
that the opening must be sufficiently
large to admit the hand easily.-Chica-

WASHlNGTON, Feb. 0.-RepreSentative
Dingley, chairman of the silver pool in
vestigating committee, to-day made the
following comment on the published as
sertiOnS Of j. A. Owenby to the effect that
the committee refused to allow him to give
in evidence important facts and papers
bearing on the subject of inquiry, ETC.:
"OWenby states in this interview said
Dingley, "that the committee declined to
allow him to include in his testimony the
cipher furnished him by Donald for use
in telegraphing and several kilograms
from the latter. The fact is that all these
We're admitted, and Owenby was ques-
toned concerning each, as also was Don
aid, who explained that they referred to
information which Owenby was to furnish
him as to the prospect of legislation relat-
ing to currency. Owenby says in his inter-
view that he has great quantity
of evidence which (he) was not permit
ted to give, bearing upon the subject. The
fact is that Owenby testified that he had
given the committee all the knO OWIedge and
information he possessed on the matters of
inquiry, except the names of senators and
representatives who, he said. Donald. Cum
ningham and Littler told him were coll
cerned in the silver speculations. As
Owenby testified that he had no personal
knoWledg" that any senators and repre-
sentatives were concerned in the silver
>peculatlOnS, the committee unanimously
decided that the gentleman whom Owenhy
,, had given as his authority for the names
should be called to testify as to what they
| knew, rather than admit the heresay state
ment of Owenby. These three gentle
men We're called and they denied
| that they had ever told Owenby
! anything of the kind, and testified that
| they had no knowledge or information in
the matter. Owenby mentions in his utter
F! view the name of representative who he
says Donald told him was concerned in
the silver speculation. But Donald test-
| ties That he never told Owenby anything of
the kind and that he never had such in
formation. and the representative referred
! to having learned through public
prints that his name had been connected
by Owenby with silver specializing, has
| appeared before the committee, and denied
| the charge under OATH"
