In THE House yesterday during the
discussion of bill making an sppropria-
ton, an amendment was offered placing
anthracite coal on the free list, but the
proposition was knocked out as quick as
lightning. And so will be any other
measure looking to the relief of the
masses if thereby the profits of the trusts
are in the slightest way affected. Before
the election free coal and free meats
were promised-but that was last month
and those promises are now out of date.

A COLORED DELEGATION.

A big delegation of Virginia colored
men called on the President yesterday
and urged him to appoint James Hays,
= colored lawyer of Richmond, as assist
ant attorney of the eastern district OF
Virginia. to succeed Hugh Gordon Mil
Ter. who is the present assistant to Edgar
Allan. The delegation later called on
Attorney General Knox The President
explained to the delegation that the
selection of assistant attorneys to United
States attorneys throughout the country
was usually left to the attorneys them
selves and confirmed by the Department
of Justice. He suggested that they lay
the matter before Judge l.. l.. Lewis,
who had been nominated as attorney oil
the eastern district to succeed Mr.. Allan.
The President said, however, that he
understood that Judge Lewis had offered
the position of assistant attorney to
Malcolm A. Coles, who was the republi-
can candidate for Congress in one OF the
Virginia districts in November, and that
Mr. Coles had probably accepted the
offer.
HAYS is the colored lawyer who is one
of the counsel engaged in the efforts ia
overthrow the new constitution of Vlr'
ginia, and the delegation calling on the
President took the position that his ap-
pointment would indicate the disap'
proval by the administration of the dis
reimbursement of colored voters in Vir'
ginia-
