PRAISES THE TROOPERS.
Col. Scott Commends Colored Cavalry
men at West Point.

Col. Scott, superintendent of the Military
Academy, has made the conduct of the
negro troopers stationed at West Point the
subject of a special report to the War De-
partment, which is of interest in view of
published rumors to the effect that the
residents of Highland Falls have COM
planned of dsorderly conduct on their part.
Col. Scott says that, as matter of fact,
the conduc tot the negro troops since they
have been at West Point has been admira-
bl and fawless; indeed, says. it has
been much better than that of the white
regulars who preceded them at the post.
There are not many of these negro troops
at the academy, most of them being short
term men, connected with the cavalry resi-
ments that have been sent to the Philip
pines, who were kept at home to avoid the
expense of transporting them to the Phil
ippines and return after a few months
service in order to be discharged. 1t was
further stated that the white cavalrymen
recently stationed at the Military Academy
objected to taking care of the horses of
the cadets, and it was found advisable to
replace them with colored cavalrymen who
so far have raised no objection to the extra
duty,

President passed in review. The crews
were drawn up in close order along the

His Second Visit.

This is the second visit which the Presi-
dent has made to the exposition, and the
impression which the show made upon
him today must have been more favorable
than the one which he got on the opening
day, six weeks ago. Much has been done
during that time in completing the build
ings, in the exhibits and generally In get
ting things into shape. There is a great
deal yet to be done, but the place is not 50
unsightly. not so distressingIy unprepared
TO receive visitors it was a month and
half ago.
The pride of Norfok-southern pride-was
touched, and the citizens of the city ex-
erted themselves with the management Of
the exposition IN Offering something worth
coming to see. To this end and in antici-
patton of the coming of the President they
organized a volunteer cleaning brigade, and
during the past two days these willing
workers. comprising business and profess
sional men, clerks merchants and sales
men, clad in old clothes and overalls. did
great service in making the grounds look
more inviting and presentable.
With rakes and hoes and shovels they re-
moved the trash and debris and improved
the roads and walks.

This fact gave the President, in the first
OF his two addresses today, occasion to. re-
mind his hearers that he was half north

reference, however to arouse their enthu-
siasm, for from the moment that he set foot
