OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.

ne DedCn OF 6dnOmdStSf gilmore
Fair Week and Its Special Attrac-
tions-Crowded Theaters.
ST. LOUIS, Oct 3, 1s92.-The death OF
Gilmore was felt like a personal be
reavement by the people of st. Louis.
He was doubtless one of the greatest
bandmasters of the world. No other
musical director has ever tried to take
he had at the exposition. There are
1O1 men in it, every one of them mu-
sicians who command large salaries.
The band will remain with the expo
sition till the close of the season, di-
rected by Sergeant Charles w. Freud
envoll, who has been leading with
Gilmore for sixteen years The organ
ization has been such financial as
well as musical success that it will
probably not break up, and the chances
are that it will supply the exposition
music next year, as contracted for by
the late Col. Gilmore.
The great week of the fall festivities
draws near. The city is crowded with
visitors, and the scenes on the streets
on the nights of the illumination are
most interesting. Every Thursday here
after till October 90, the principal streets
will be made brilliant with the long
rows of lights, and the beautiful
pictures in electric flame. Saturday
night, Oct 1.-the Yelled Prophet and his
retinue will arrive by boat, and
escorted by the military of the
city will march to the EXPOSE
ton and parade through the aisles.
The following Tuesday night
the Prophet will appear on
the streets with his famous tableaux
parade. The subject tObe illustrated
by score or more of floats, each one
of which carries generally from five to
q dozen figures in costumes, is yet a
mystery. 1t is never made known till
the day of the parade. The st Louis
fair, the biggest thing of the kind in
the West, will open Oct. 8 and last till
the end of that week. The Thursday
of this week is always declared a half
holiday in the city and the gate regis
tiers show invariably that more than a
hundred thousand people go out to the
grounds on that day. From now till
the last of October the railroads will
make rates of extraordinary cheapness
into the city.
The seven principal theatres Of the
city have suspended their free lists,
and the pass system will not be re-
sumed till about the end of the month.
Every one of them is crowded nightly
from gallery to dress-circle, and in
those where there is some very popu-
lar play the sign ''standing-room
only" is hung up before the curtain
rises. There is always great scram-
bic among the companies to get booked
in St Louis for the last week in Sept.
and the first one in Oct, and they are
willing to offer the theatres high !
premiums for the privilege. None but |
the very best of companies can afford
to pay the theatres the rates they de- !
mand- for these weeks, and the result
Is one much to the advantage OF the |
stranger who drops into town about |
that time.

MORGAN'S REPORT.
Advancement Made in Educa-
tional Policy.
indian Schools Increased From
Eight to Twenty-The Agency Sys-
tenn GoinR Out by Degrees-Bein9
Treated as individuals.

WAGnGroH, d. c., September n-Tbe
annual report of Thomas J. Morgan, COM
missioner of Indian affairs, notes a continu-
ance of the policy of allotting lands to in
dams - individuals and treating them a fu-
ture citizens. Eventually, the commission
er thinks that the agency system would be
destroyed and also the land bureau. He dis
approves of the detailing of army officers to
take charge of the Indian agencies. He says
that in the education of the Indians and the
allotment of lands 10 them considerable
progress has been made during the last year.
Special mention is made of the various
measures taken during the year to make the
Indians self-supporting and gradual reduc-
ton of the issue of rations to them is recon-
mended.
The subject of Indian education is covered
fully; Its difficulties are pointed ont, gen.
eral survey of the field is presented, and the
tables are given showing the different kinds
of schools In operation, their capacity and
attendance. There are now in operation or
soon to be opened twenty large training
schools, located in the midst of civilized
communities, in the Indian reserve agencies.
Three years ago there were eight such insti-
tutions. When completed their total capac-
ity will be about sc, 900 pupils. The total en-
the year ending June 30, 1891, was nearly
5000, an increase of more than 4, 00) within
three years, or more than % per cent. Four
years more at this rate of progress will see
practically all Indian children gathered into
schools.

The Southern Embargo.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Octo5er 4-The en-
barge placed upon American commerce BY
the action of some Central American coun-
tries IN closing their ports to ships from the
United States is a matter of deep concern to
the state department.. Aside from the actual
loss to our merchants resulting from this
action, the interruption to the mails is q
source of vexation. An uureasoning dread
of the introduction of cholera has led 10 the
issuance of these troubleso ne decrees by the
governments of the south. Some justlfca-
ton may be found in the conduct OF our own
officials IN New York, but what Ia that case
was rigorous, but still limited quarantine,
has been exaggerated by our Ceatr Il Ameri-
of all intercourse with the United States.

Terrific winds are reported throughout

Colorado Coal.

CHICAGO, September 30.-The news that the
Reading combine is sending the price of coal
skywald has led some western roads to con-
slider the practicability of bringing Colorado
coal into competition with the Pennsylvania
products. Some say it can be done.
The railroads have such rates now that it
would cost the dealers from $40 to 81. so per
ton to lay down the Colorado coal in Chicago
The rates, however are based on non-supply.
Colorado coal has never been brought SO far
east. With the demand for sufficient guam
titles to cause it to be shipred by train loads
the rates could easily be reduced one-half.

ba, of the City of Mexico, is in the city for
the purpose of buying 800 or 1000 cars Of

passed through there the other day there was
not more than 200 cars on the track, but that

No Tariff on American Wheat.

NO I arIfr on american wheat.
LONDON. October 1.-The report started by
Editor Nelson. of the Kansas City, Mo, Star,
and cabled from New York, that when par
lament again convenes a bill would be in
trcduced placing duty on foreign wheat, is
pronounced nonsense here. 1t Is true that
some farmers organs now, as heretofore,
when abiding to the agricultural depression,
urge that tariff be placed on foreign corn,
but no prominent conservative, liberal or
radical Is in the remotest way associated with
the idea of e tariff on American wheat.
