The Fight Over the ReappOintment Of
Mr.. Cornish.
Never before in the history Of the District
government has there been such an inter-
est manifested In the appointment of a
school trustee as at present. The, term of
L. A. Cornish, trustee of the eighth divi-
sion Of colored public schools, expires next
Thursday, and the Commissioners will be
called upon to I'LL the vacancy.
For over two months the friends and
enemies of Mr.. Cornish have been waging
war. and the records of the District are
hned with numerous petitions, some setting
forth his admirable fitness for the position
others protesting vigorously against his re-
appointment.
But Mr.. Cornish will be reappointed.
That Is about settled with the Commission
ers, who indorse his administra ton, and
are willing to give him another evidence of
their confidence.
A large number of colored women an
peared before Commissioner Ross this
morning and presented a petition protesting
against the reappoin tment Of 'ir. Cornish
and urging the appointment of Charles r.
Douglass.
The terms of Furman j. Shadd, trustee
of the sixth division, and d. H. Hazen,
trustee Of the fourth division, also expire
en- the 18th instant. In the case of Trustee
Shadd it is believed there will be a change,
as he is not a resident of his division
Trustee Hazen has given satisfac ton In the

Relief for the Forest Fire Sufferers.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
/ see that in view Of the news that there
is no famine in Corea. 1t is proposed by the
Christian Herald to return the funds SUBJ
scribed to the donors. 1t strikes me that 1t
would be a good thing to transfer them to
the sufferers by the recent fires in the
northwest, with the consent Of the donors,
of course. 1t is to be presumed that IL they
were willing to donate to the Coreans they
certainly would to their own countrymen,
especially in view of the terrible disaster
that has befallen so many, and mostly per-
sons of email means / am surprised that
no general movement has been made in the
east for their relief. The suffering and de-
struction, judging from the newspaper ac-
counts, must be as great IL not greater,
than that caused by the flood at Johnstown,
for the relief Of which the District people
subscribed over $4,000; and yet have not
heard suggestion Of doing anything. for
these sufferers.
i know nothing as to the amount SUBJ
scr1bed for the Coreans, but presume it
amounts to considerable, and that it would
materially help the survivors, many of
whom are left homeless and penniless

mates made show that there will probably
be about 500 members of the local Grand
Army organizations leave the city next
Sunday for the annual encampment at
Pittsburg. There are to be seven posts to
go as organizations, and a large number of
veterans will also go as individuals OF
the 500 Commander Bickford believes thai
about go will march in the great parade
on Tuesday. The railroad rates. he saws
are more favorable this year than ever be-
fore, and this fact, he thinks, will con-
tribute to, make the Pittsburg encampment
great success. Notwithstanding the hard
times. The encampment for 1895 is likely
to be given to ST. Paul, with Louisville as
a close competitor. The loser this year
will probably get 1t the next year.
There will be a meeting tonight in Com
mander Bickford's office, at 914 F street
northwest of the commanders of the nine
teen posts of the G. A. r. in this city, for
the purpose Of perfecting plans for the exc.
