The Eskimos.

The old tradition that the Eskimos
are q people Of small stature is with
out foundation. On the contrary, In
Labrador, Bafin Land and all around
Hudson bay the height OF the men Is
probably above rather than below the
average Of the human race; but, as a
rule, the women. although very strong,
are considerably shorter than the men.
They are brave, Industrious, provident
and communicative, In all Of which
characteristics they contrast with the
northern tribe Of Indians.

LIMITATION OF REPRESENTATION.
The Question Coming Up Again in
Congress Next Winter.

The Question Coming Up Again In
Congress Next Winter.
Southern senators and representatives in
the city are very much interested in the
probable course Of President Roosevelt with
respect to the movement that is likely to be
renewed in the next Congress in favor Of
limiting the representation of those south
ern states which have enacted laws dis
franchisng the negro vote.
1t Is well remembered, of course, that
President Mckinley himself put an end to
the movement that was inaugurated in the
last Congress. There was very strong
sentiment In the House in favor of legisla
ton carrying out the constitutional provis-
ion for limitation of representation upon the
basis of the actual exercise Of the elective
franchise.
Resolutions were actually introduced, 1t
will be recalled, setting the ball in motion.
but its further progress was discouraged by
the executive President Mckinley told
more than one southern senator and repre-
sentative in person that he would not coun-
tenance the movement; that the south and
north were enjoying an era Of good feeling
which should not be interrupted during his
administration If he could help it.
With such a downright declaration Of ex-
ecutive disfavor for the plans in contempla-
ton, their projectors abandoned them for
the time. 1t is known, however, that they
proposed to renew their efforts at the next
session and to try to persuade the Presi-
dent OF the WISDOM, and, as they cOntende0,
justice, of the undertaking.
President Roosevelt has not expressed
himself upon the subject, SO far as 1t can
be learned. but several representatives pro-
pose to ask him to state his position In the
premises. The question Is considered vital
one by the southern senators and repre-
sentatives, and they say they cannot learn
the attitude of the President too soon
There is a disposition upon their part to
assume that the President will carry out
this branch of Mr.. McKineys policy as
well as all others to which he has pledged
himself. His disavowal of sectionalism has
also given them renewed hope.
But they realize the depth and strength
OF the movement that may take added vigor
In the next Congress, and are, therefore,
looking anxiously to the President to head
II off did his predecessor. There is no
doubt of the earnestness of the group Of
republicans, headed by Mr.. Crumpacker OF
Indiana and Mr.. Olmstead of Pennsylvania,
in their campaign If they can get any en-
couragement from the White House. They
are strongly backed by some of the party
managers, who think that the representa-
ton is inequitably distributed in the pres
ent circumstance and that the constitutional
mandate should be obeyed.

WHITNEY QUITS BRITISH TURF,
HIS Action Causes Comment Among
Racing Men There

LONDON, September 4.-The announced
retirement of VIM c. Whitney from the
English turf occasions regret, but hardly
surprises those who have noted the recent
trend Of events. There is a widespread
feeling that behind Mr.. Whitney's publish
ed reasons for his withdrawal is the real
fzation of the fact that the attitude of
the British turf authorities toward Ameri-
cans Is no longer marked by the absolute
impartiality which characterized their con-
duct prior to the pre-eminence of American
owners, horses. trainers and Jockeys.
During recent season complaints have
been frequent that the American horses
were too heavily handicapped, that the
jockeys were harshly treated and that
interferences during the races We're white
washed which would not have been toi-
Grated on the part of American Jockeys.
1t Will cause no surprise If other Ameri-
cans of Mr.. Whitneys class follow his ex-
after the receipt OF a detailed report OF
the treatment accorded to Voiodyovsky In
the st. Leger- The Daily Telegraph re
marks that Mr.. Whitney's decision must
have been reached very suddenly seeing
that only on September II Mr. Whitney
nominated yearlngs for the races OF 1904
and 1906. The Telegraph adds:
Some American owners have not made
themselves acceptable to this country, but
MIR. Whitney is one of the exceptions that

The Sportsman says: His retirement
Will be received with regret by all British

Has Expressed Preference for the De-

Has Expressed Preference for the De-

A board of officers consisting of Major
General Arthur Macarthur, Col H. c.
Hasbrook of the artillery and Col. Francis
Moore 11th Cavalry, with Captain Robert
A. Brown, 4th Cavalry. as recorder, has
been appointed to meet at the War De-
partment next Monday for the purpose of
examining and submitting recommendations
in all cases relative to the comforting Of
brevet rank and the awarding of medals
of honor for distinguished services in the
West Indian, Chinese and Philippine cam
paigns.
General Macarthur is now in Milwaukee
and will come to this city in a few days.
His service on the board of brevets will be
only temporary, and at it's conclusion he
will be assigned to the command of one
of the military departments. He has eX-
pressed preference for the Department of
Colorado, the headquarters of which are at
Denver, and he will receive that assignment
unless changes are made in the commands
of the Departments of the Lakes and of
the East, now held, respectively, by Cen
erals Otis and Brooke.
On his last visit to this city General Mac
Arthur had the misfortune to lose a trunk
containing his uniform, and consequently
was unable to participate in the Mckinley
funeral ceremonies in this city. He was
detailed to duty as a member of the special
guard of honor, but for the reason indicated
was unable to serve.
