from Vieksburf ? , Miss , who is in the city ,
talked to a reporter today about the work of
the eonstltutioiialcoiivcntlon which bos been
In session at Jackson for several days. "Tho
incorporation ot the educational qualifying
clause in tlio new constitution , " said he ,
"was , I admit , for the main purpoo of dis-
framlilsing t tie great majority of the blacks. "
IJy it about ono hundred ana twenty thous
and negroes will be debarred from voting and
between ten nnd llfteen thousand whites.
Hut we in Mississippi have no desire to have
our property , to say nothing of
ourselves , ruled by ignorant blacks
and such white republican ilemacOKues as
have come down there nnd nobody can
blnnious. It may bo wrong in theory to de
prive any living bein ; of his vole , but if the
human bciiiK so deprived is absolutely un

far distant , " said J. J. Grlnliiiton of Colombo ,
Ceylon , to a correspondent , "when coffee
will Imvo ceased to bo the beverage of tbo
people. " Mr. ( Jriiillnton , who ha ? resided
for thirty years on the Island of Ceylon , is
visitliif ? In this city. Continuing : bo said :
"Some few years ago tlio annual export of
coffee from the island of Ceylon was one
million hundred weight Last year it was
only one-tenth as much. Some few years
ago a fungus parasite attacked the plant and
It is gradually killing it out. Not only is this
true In Ceylon , but it Is also the case In
Brazil and elsewhere. People must learn to
talw tea instead. When many of
the planters In Ceylon saw the
boirles drop off and the plant die
they cast about for something clso to
take its place. This they found in tea.
Only a short time ago Wo exported fiX)0 , (
pounds of tea annually ; this year it reaches
00,000,000 pounds. I have been sending the
tea from my plantation toltussla and Ireland ,
but Europe alone cannot consume all of ours ,
in addition to that raised by other countries ,
nnd so wo had to look to America end have
just established a house In New York. "

Jackson park as the place for the location of
the great exposition. The lake front Is a
loiiir , grass-covered common on the edge of
Lake Michigan and bordering the business
center of Chicago. It contains at present
about ninety acres. It Is the design to place
there a grand entrance to the exposition and
buildings for line arts and kind ml displays ,
Jackson park is also on the lake shore , about
tivo miles from tbo court bouse ,
nnd Is to bavo the agricultural ,
livestock and other exhibits of that nature ,
besides others of general Interest. Four
hundred acres nro available in Jackson park
ana the wide approaches thereto which were
recently added to the original tender. The
two sites are to bo so connected by rail and
water accommodations that but a few
minutes will bospcnt in passing from ono lo
cality to tbo other. The final and decisive
ballot on the site question resulted : I nko
Front nnd Jackson park , 3 ; North Side , 4 ;
West Side , 8. The choice of the dual site
was then made unanimous ,
I o action was taken regarding the appoint
ment of a director general. A committee of

iv , S. D. , Sept. 9. [ Special
BIK. : ] After several years' effort
the Lower Brulo Indians have nt last been
notified that they cannot move south of the
White river to tbo Rosebud reservation.
Their struggle for the desired permission
commenced several years ago and has been
waged over since. The reason for the wishod-
for removal is that the land south of Whlto
river is much better than that embraced in
their own reservation. When the Sioux
commission was on the reservation last sum
mer obtaining the Sioux's usseat to the re-
Hnqulshmcnt to the government of 11,000,0011
acres of their land , these Indians , nt a coun
cil held with the commissioners. Implored
General Crook to promise them that they
could move , hut the general informed them
that he could do nothing further than tore-
quest the department to allow them to do so ,
as his Instructions from the "great father"
did not give him power to make promises
other than wcro provided for by tbo Sioux
Dill , The general's promise was received
satisfactorily by the Jndlans , as they had
great faith in his lullncjiccTand believed that
the mutter would eventually bo settled in
tbclr fc.vor. Only a short time ago , how
ever , the Rosebud band of .Sioux entered a
vigorous protest against the proposed re
moval , claiming that they did not have any
land to spare. This ; apparently scttleit the
question and tuo inuian uurcau nos roinscu
the Lower Ilrulo's request. Of course the
largo majority of thorn are deeply disap
pointed at the failure of ' their efforts , hut
they nro peaceable and will make no serious
trouble ,

\VASIIIKOTOX , Sept. 9.-Deputy Pension
Commissioner Charles T. Lincoln was today
before the Ilamn investigating committee.
He tostilled that the completed lllou system
recommended by Lemon did not commend it
self to bis Judgment. Claimants without at
torneys were placed at a disadvantage t > y It.
Probably less than 5 per cent of tbo original
claimants were without attorneys. An at
torney might secure considerable advantage
In time of adjudication by certifying
claims complete \vbeii they wcro not so.
Witness did not think any particular attor
ney bad uocn beaollttcd by the order. \ \ nsn-
Ington attorneys as a whole might have been
bencllttcd for a time because of location. Ho
did not believe the slightest degree of par
tiality or favoritism hud been shown by
any o'fllccr or employo of the pension bureau
to wards any attorney. Tlio new order was
giving more satisfaction to the country at
largo than tbo original plan unit had consider
ably expedited business , although some in
justice was worked perhaps toward claimants
without attorneys.
II. Hossback.a mechanical cnglnccrstartcd
in to tell how ho met in Memphis , several
years ago , Prank A. Smith , who , ho had been
told , was the patentee of tbo Universal re-
friccrator.
Commissioner Uaum objected to the line of
inquiry.
Cooper Insisted that ho would prove by the
witness that Smith was working on the citi
zens of Memphis , trying to create a corpora
tion. Just as had been done here ; that the
, citizens Invested nnd tbo patentee decamped ,
] ustas ho baddoioin : California afterwards ;
that ho next came to the pension office as the
best plnco to work , und organized n scheme
with the head of the bureau that was a fraud.
Commissioner Uiiuni interrupted to say
that Cooper took his refrigerator charges
from certain newspaper charges. The men
who wrote those articles knew they were
lies nnd Cooper today knew they were raise.
Ho had not proven his charges anil now
sought to throw oat a drag net , to bring in
other tilings to break down enterprises In
which bo ( Itauin ) was interested. Ho did
not propose to h'xvo his private business sub
jected to investigation unless tbo house di
rected it.
Lewis agreed for a full and fair investiga
tion. If the invention was impracticable
and worthless , the country ought to know It ,
bccauso ho believed nn olllcer of the United
States should not use his official position to
boost any worthless enterprise.
In answer to a question Cooper said he did
not know that bo could prove that General
Itauin know the Invention was a fraud. lie
could prove that ho ought to know.
After further discussion the matter went
over and Sinyper was recalled. Cooper asked
If ho had not told Lewis ( u monibor of the
committee ) that he had no money Interest In
the stock.
Smyscr replied that ho told Lewis that
while the stock was entered in his name ho
did not own all of it , but represented some
gentleman in Ohio.
This brought Lewis tn hh feet and there
was a wordy war between himself and Siny-
scr. Lewis tlnally admitted thut ho might
have misunderstood him. Adjourned.

The Chicago Gas Trust In the Hole of
n Huppllaiit.
CHICAGO , Sept. 0. [ Special Telegram to
THE Hun.J The Chicago gas trust has at
last weakened and is now before the city ad
ministration in the position of a suppliant ,
offering to agree to any reasonable terms In
regard to the price of gas to the public that
the city may dictate. Thosurrenuer of the
trust is the outcome of many months of agita
tion in tbo council and elsewhere. For a
longtime the council , or some prominent
members of it , have been urging indirectly
upon the corporation counsel the necessity
of bringing proceed Inps in the courts for the
forfeiture of the franchises of the different
companies forming the trust. About six
months ago a committee of the council was
appointed to look into the question of the
price charged the public for gas and tlio
committee was Informed by the law depart
ment that the city council had no legal right
to llx the price of gas , no matter how glaring
the Inequalities wero. There was no" doubt
as regard the "Inequalities. " for while the
trust supplied the city with gas nt the rate
of $1 per 1,000 cubic foot it Insisted
on charging tbo private consumer
$ l..rjfl. The committee , itndlng Itself power
less , so reported to the council , and the agita
tion against the trust grow stronger than
ever. The attack at lost told , and the trust
found that Its stocks were deteriorating In
vnluo , every fresh attack In council affected
the market and in addition It at last awak
ened to the fact that the law department was
In earnest and that there was danger of the
threatened quo warranto proceedings being
successful , nnd the monopoly itself finally
broken up. So its president today bad a
long conference with the city comptroller
and the law department , tlio rusuitot which
will bo a concession of any price the city may
numo for all consumers.
