AFFIRMED THE DECISION.
YlHnois Statute Providing for the
Inspection of Mines, Declared
to be Valid.

Washington, April 14.-In the Unit
ed States supreme court, Yesterday
Justice Brown announced an opinion
in the case Of the Consolidated Coal
Co., VS.. the People Of Illinois, involy'
ing the constitutionality of the Hi
nois statute providing for the inspec'
ton of mines. The law was attacked
on the ground that it is discrimina-
tive in that it requires an inspection
only Of mines employing more than
five miners, and in that it gives dis
cretion to the inspectors to deter
mine how many times in a year a
mine shall be inspected, and also
what fees shall be charged for max
ing the inspection. The court did not
however, sustain these exceptions
but held the law to be valid, thus af
frming the decision of the supreme
court of Illinois

NISSISSIPPI'S EXHIBIT AT
ST.LOUIS EXPOSITION

Jackson, Miss, April 1S.-Hon. R. Il.
Henry, commissioner to organize and
select exhibits from this State for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at st.
Louis, being asked for his views as to
the exhibit, said:
"Our State should make the best ex-
hibit possible one that will be credita-
BILE alike to our section and people. 1t
should embrace everything grown,
raised and manufactured in Mississ:
sippi, neatly and attractiyely displayed
in a manner to please the eye ana Sc;
cure the attention Of the pubHcs~Much
depends upon the variety ofpro1dcts
exhibited, more upon the quality, a9d
still. more upon the arrangement; foi
no exhibit, however valuable, will as
tract favorable attention unless arus
tically displayed. There is alway'
great competition along this line be
tween the different States at exposi
tions. and my observation has been
4 that neat and artistic displays atIracI
more attention than bulky exhibits
'half.made-up.'
"As to the character Of our exhibits
would say that they should be from
the products Of field, orchard, garden
forest, factory, ETC. In short, ever
industry, product and enterprise OF tn
State should be represented to show it
progress, wealth and intelligence.
In the agricultural building, or de
partment set apart for the exhibit 0
agricultural products, think Kin
Cotton should take ranking place,
should be used for decorations an

THE LATHRoP HORSE DEPOT.
Report Of Gov. DOcltery'H Private
Secretary Forwarded to senator
Cockre1 at Washington.

Kansas City, Mo, April ia spe'
cial to the Star from jefferson City
Mo, says; 0. T, Gentry, Gov. Dock
ery's private secretary, returned to-
day from Lathrop, Mo, where he was
sent under instructions to make an
investigation Of the charges that a
British post is being maintained
there to supply horses and mules for
the British army in South Africa,
Gov. Dockery forwarded the seere'
tary's report to Senator F. NJ. Cock
rell at Washington, with the request
that the senator lay the matter be
fore congress.
In his report Mr.. Gentry says that
the firm of Guyton & Harrington
owns the sheds and land at the post
according to the statements Of the
county officers. He continues: :"
was informed that this firm shipped
10, 600 mead of horses and mules dur
ing the last year, most Of them des
tined for South Africa From ap
pearances it looks very much like The
business is largely conducted undei
British auspices. 1t is claimed, how
ever, that all the compensation re
ceiyed by the firm is 35 cents da,
for the care of each horse and null
for the British government, 1t is no
my province to offer any suggestion
as to whether international law ha
been yioloted. That question is Oh
: viously one to be determined by tn
. United States government"
, Mr.. Gentry says that 21 Sepoy
who arrived at Lathrop, recent,
will return to India soon with 1,5C
to 1000 mules for the use If tn
British army in that country.
