for the express purpose of manning It
with negro labor. and thus trying to set

The capitalists, Ii is intimated, are rath-

Coleman. who is the leader of the ven

suits since the war. and he speaks conn

If 1t is found necessary, he SAYS. ne

their white friends help them out with
subscriptions. but. II possible, they
"would like to have all the stock taken
by negroes. in order to make the mill
essentially a negro enterprise" and he

mill will be built and put in operation
this year.

ofhcial information has been rece,ved
IN Washington by the Franco American
committee. organized for the purpose of
securing fuller privileges for American n
students III the educational institutions
OF france. that in all probability the
Faculties of letters will soon be opened
TO Americans as freely as the other fac
ulties that have already been opened
There are already fifty or more Ameri.
can students enrolled in the French fac
ulties. Since the promulgation of the
decree of January last, changing the
regulations in the faculties of science
the number of German students in the
French faculties has increased from 20
to H. of whom only sixteen are stu
dents of medicine.
The admission of foreign students to
the medical schools gave rise to a Sc
rious debate in a recent session of the
Chamber of Deputies, It being claimed
that French students were exposed 10
undue competition on account of the in
fiux of foreigners. who. by reason Tof

medicine in France, though not subject
TO military duty. 1t is probable that the
regulations will be modified so that for

facilities for study and the obtaining of
degrees will be as good. or better, than
heretofore.

Three Playful whales.

Three whales made their way in
through Golden Gate yesterday and had
a great time of 1t for two or three hours
with the Sausalito and Tjburon ferry
boats as they came and went on their
hourly trips, says the San Francisco
Call. Two of the mammals were gray
backs, and one, Captain White of the
Tfburon Is confident, was sperm. 1t
was OF enormous proportions, and
three times the size of either of the
other leviathans. The graybacks spout
ed about the steamer for over mile Of
her course. One of them jumped almost
clear of the water and rthen sounded
The last seen OF him was his tail, which
waved for an instant in the air and then
vanished. The sperm whale remained
by the Tiburon for a time, and then 1t
also sank out of sight.
On the return trip they again put in
an appearance, and Captain White came
to the conclusion that they were feeding
on the small fish with which the bay
abounds at this time OF the year. They
did not seem to be afraid Of the steamer.
and evidently took her and the noise she
was making for one of their own kind

with any of the bay craft that should
happen to strike one or these monsters

said that the Populist party Is divided
