WASh INGTON , Oct -Spcclal.-The ( )
test at condensed toad for the army , which
was rectnty pertorme by a detachment at
troops tram Fort Lgan , near Denver , Colo. ,
wa not ot sufcient extent to permit I decision -
cision yet as to whether thc "cmcrgcncy
raton , " as I Is familiarly known , will bo a
succcs or not In accordance with Instruc-
tons tram the War dcpartmcnt hero corni
patty H of the Seventh Infantry , commanded
by Captain Gcorgc S. Young , started on a
four days' march to give the new food a
trial So far as this tut Is concerned the
prospects for the food are not tavor ble.
Numerous reports were printed as coming
from Denver to the erect that the trIal had
been a total failure , anti that as a result of
the experiment a portion at the detachment
of troops was surerlng seriously from the
crects , and that some ot the Individual sol.
tIters were Illgerously Ill.
A detailed account , however , which has
Just been received at the ofce of the corn
mlssary eneral of subsistence , shows that
thu newspaper reports were wholy unfounded ( -
cd , and that there was no such condItIon of (
affairs existing among the men as was al-
leged. This report , which was submitted
by CaptaIn Young who had charge ot the
oldlers and Captain L Garde , the surgeon ,
states that a detachment consisting ot , four
omcer and ffy.fve men started out on the
march of four days from the post at Fort
lAgan A test was had on the first day , and
a a result a number of the men were affected -
tected In an unpleasant manner The test
was.lot only or short duration , but It was ,
only 1 partial trial. On the first day the I
men were served as their allowance for din. I

CIAHACTEI 01 THE FOOD.
The soup Is n'ado from a tablet which has
been prepared , containing all the Ingredients
of bean soup when mode under . ordinary
circumstance The cake Is mad ! ot whole'
wheat In the preparation of the cake the
wheat Is first baled to such an extent as to
Insure its thorough cooking. After being
the tiny IJJtclel are forced through an ar-
rangement 11 ( the ordinary grater , and
when this operation Is completed the wheat
comes out In thin shreds , which are sot and
most. ! Small cakes are made of this suh-
Smal
_ stance , which are toasted slightly to cornn
pleto time cookbng A Portion at the shreds
which have not bean toasted are added to
that which has gone through the operation
and the whQle 18 cOmpressed Into the cake
ready for use. The cakes are at u ( lark
brown color when the preparation Is cornt
plated amid are made Into Onvenlent sizes
for carryIng , usually being about four
Inches square and nn Inch thick. This prep-
araton oC wheat Is intended to toke the place
of ordinary bread . Besides the bean soup
the soldiers were served wIth coffee as a
.
. , beverage.
The report shows that the men who were
affected by the food were not made danger- I
" ously sick , but were affected wih nausea I
r ama disposition to vomit violently . None I
of the men were affected on the fIrst day , I
but on the day following a good many oC' '
the men began to feel the erects of the
novel diet. As a result two at the men were
compelled to fall out of line , but none ot
the other were affected so seriously. The
, : test was not continued on the two remaining
days of the test march , although several ot
the omcers made an attempt at I , but they
did not experience sickness.
DO NOT ADMIT FAILUflE.
Omclals of the commissary generals department -
partment soy that the let does not show
the new food to be a failure , and they think
that In time It may succeed. The sickness :
j of some of the men Is attributed by surgeons -
geons on duty In the War department to the
. fact that the food with which the tests were
male was not fresh , but was old and had
. been manufactured some time before being
eaten , so that its nutritious qualities had
been lost One of the ofcor of the sub
sistence department ] has made 0 m special trial
of his own at thlo new food , and the test
was so successful that he thinks there Is no ;
'reason for discouragement over the prospects I
for success In the urmy I Is believed hero II I
that the men were too hasty In devouring the (
food , and that they did not .
Ild surclent ) mas-
tcate the wheat cake. Ofcials of the de :
partment also think that In preparing the
soup from the bean preparation the men m
did not boll It long enough , but ate It too
soon , with the result that there was not I.
sulhlcient nutriment gine from It to benefit -
fit theni Trials on this march were had (
only with the bean soup , wheat cake and
cofree.

The preparation ot the condense sub

t success , , , .Tiiat Is , good results are obtained
from , preparation which has ben in -

sweetening substance , saccharine usualy
being employed. But I has been found that
when ground so finely the coffee loses Ita
aroma and a large part of its strength , fO
that to a certain extent the invention Is not
a .success. Desldes It has been found Impos-
Ilblo to compress the coffee and swetening
substanc so that It will hold together. I I
has been "ound to crumble anti break In pacli

dense food Is to perform wi bo when long

will bo devoted to devisIng a way to make the

Individual soldiers.
One of the most successful preparation L5
which has been mudo In connection with Ihls
"emergency food" I the tea tablets. This
has bEen tried on numerous' occasions and
has been successful In practically all case B.
. These tea tablets , which are made In smal ,

an ordinary peppermint drop , contain the condensed -
densed tea leaves and the sweetening prepar-
aton combned ! The tablets are of a dar IC

Since time death ot Fred Douglass the col-
ored people ot America have hal no one
generaly recognized a a type at what the
emancipated negro might become until at the
epenlng of the AUanta exposition the best
speeh at the day was made by hooker T
Washington ot the Tuskegee institute. Mr.
Washington's speech at once caused him to
b e known to the many , as he was already
known to the few , as the wisest and truest
leader l ot his race this country has ever pro
Iluced. A wrier In the Cimicago Tlmcs-
I lrald ranks him with the most skillful at
white educational organizers of the highest
exeeulh'e capacity , ot culure , prudence ,
Judgment j , devotion and
devoton missionary entimusii
a s in .
asm.Ono
One of IhO few , continues the wrier , who
knew Booker T. Washington and believed In
him more than a decade ago beleved late
Gtneral Armstrong , whose great work In
the industrial training IclJ l for
younl negroes and Indians at
Uampton , Va. , ended only with his
d eath. On being asked If he thought the
Hampton school had proved its usefulness
he replied : "If I han done nothing else here ,
worthy of praise , I should still feel that my
long l devotion to this undertaking had been
rellald In the training and commissioning
of so remarkably useful a man as Booker T.
Washington. "
The young colored man ot whom Ihls unt
equivocal estmate was made by so experig
enced an educator as General Armstrong
had Jlst completed the course at Hampton
and had gone Into the new missionary field
It Tuslleee , Ala. , the very Ifeart of the
black belt , to found a school He had come
to Hampton a few years before from aplanta.
ion cabin under the mot forlorn conditions ,
conditons
and In a state of absolute poverty. He wore
Inen l tow and homespun , was barefooted
a nd almost .
ragged. Under the wise pro.
visions at the 110-
missionary school he was soon
able to present a respectable appearance , and
wih the labor of hrs hands to pay' hIs way ,
so rapid , was his development and so rare
his qualities oC mind and heart that he was
early marked for the carrying out oC educa.
tp tonal and Industrial work among his own
people.
In 1881 he went to Tuskegee alone and
opened his school In a dLapldate log church ,
with thirty pupils collected from the cabIns ,
From the Irst time conception of the educat
10nal t nees of the colored people was broad.
The institute td be
Insltuto was primarily for the
teaching of how to live , the training ot.the
facuiles , the mnsterLng of a trade , the In-
c uicating of self-respect and a proper under-
standing of what constitutes true citizen-
ciizen-
ship. Latin and Greek and geometry and
metaphysics \ 'ere , as yet , not needed by the
southtn negro. As yet , except tilling the
sol mind becoming domestic servants , no sta-
tons In life were open to them , and theIr Idea
of f glory was 10 become a preacher or go Into
) olitics.
These people were to be taught to put on
shoes and to put off the homespun of slave
Ilays ; to build decent houses of two rooms and
an attic and abandon the old log cabin ; the
girls to stop wrapping the hall Into hornlke
t ails and wearing gauny colors and orna-
ments. The gospel ot cleanliness , frugality
ami constant Industry was preached as the
only hope of the race The habits of drink.
lng l , smoking , petty thieving learned In slave
days , sobriety for time men and virtue for
the t women , the purchase of small farms and
the constant cultivation at them , the becom-
Ing i perfected In some trade by which a decent
Ivlnf l could be eared , were some of the
things aimed at.
The popularity of the movement Is attested
by the growth of the Tuskegee instittmte.
Insttute
There are now nearly fifty resident teacim-
ers , with 1,000 pupils In attendance ; 1,500
acres of land have ben acquired and fifteen
buildings , aggregating $200,000 In value : This
i chiefly of Importance because nearly all
the work on the place-maldng the brick ,
cutting , sawing and manufacturing the
lumber , laying the brick , plastering , painting -
Ing and glazing , have been done by the
pupils .
Nearly all oC the students come to tha
school so poor that they are scarcely decently
clothed. They can worl their way through ,
the young men by tilling the land and thereby
learning the science of agrtculture. Or they
can work In the carpenter , blacksmith or car-
rlagl shop , In the brick yard or sawmill , at
harnessmadng ] , 'shoemaklng , and matress- :
mallng. The girls lear all departments of
houseworlt , launrrylng , srwlng , cukIng , and L
both may set type In the prlnlng omce
Every hour employed In this way Is credited
to thcm , and helps pay their way. The cost
Is only $2 a week and the year lasts thirty-
six weeks.
Much of the products of time farm goes Into
the kitchen or stable and reduces the cost
of maintenance ; the forests on the farm fur-
nish all the timber for building , and a hed L
of clay the brLck. Time young women. undcr
the direction oC a tailor and dressmaker , malte ?
the reat blue uniforms and calcJ gowns , and
they are furnished at cost.
In mental ] training they get a little more
than 1 good common school education-just
enough to enable them to be a real Insptra-
ton to their home people. They know a
good deal about right living and rLght think
Ing ; religion has become a daily habit , not an m
emotion ; they know the seU.respect of de.
cent , sober garb and the ability 10 car a I
living. Then they are sent back home to I
make of their ! lives what they can , and eceri
one Is Imbued with a missionary spirit. They
are \not separated In sympathy from their
people , but they have the means to lift them
to their own level.
The educational power of the Institute does
not stop with the confines of the farm.
Three years ago Mr. Washington called thm 5'
first conference of colored people to be held I
at the school. This was Issued through the
pupils In their home letters. The circular
were printed by the pupils In the school office ,
and read :
"We want to bring together for a quiet
conference not the politicians , but the common -
men , hard working farmers and mechanlcs-
the bone and sinew of the negro racetho
ministers and teachers. We want :
"l To find out fro the people themselves
the facts as to their condition and get their
Ideas as to the remedies for present evils.
" 2. To get information as to how the young
men anti women now being educated here
can best use their education In helping the
people of their race. "
At time first conference there werE 800 rep
resentatives , who were delegated by the
country churches and schol districts They :
came ten , twenty , fifty miles , In wagons ,
carts , on mules afoot ; barefooted , patched ,
happy. Some of them had mortgaged their
crops to come , or their mules , so little timrif
have these block chidren at the south. lila
fore they went home there was a new.tash-
Iioned revival They sow what their chil -
chl-
dren had done and
were doing , and they returned -
turned home unanimously resolved to : Work
six days In the week , flfty.two weeks In the
year ; to wear shoes , to build houses of two
rooms , to put up a school house and church
In place of the old log cabin , to pay a teacher
for six months Instead of three not to mortgage -
gage crops or mutes , not to waste time on
politics , to atop drinking , making errands to
town ; I support . their wIves and educate
their children .
The women were equally resolved to keep
their houses and children clean , not to be
Idle or on the streets , to wear neat , deal
calico dresses and shoes and buy no more
red feathers . There was also a widespread
determination to own their farms or Ito
homes.
I
"Thrift , continuous Industry and a sense or
responsibilIty are what the plantation negro
mot needs to learn , " was the lesson taught
by tie young evangel. That his words bore
fruit was made evident In the Impro\'ement
reported by the delegates at the next con
ference Mortgages had decreased and
school houses increased. The first pay
ments had been made on many homes Dy
this time , too , the graduates of the Ichool
had gone out to teach In the district sebools I ,
and each one was nn object lesion to the
ccmmunlty. Each one regards It a his
minion to further the prosperity of his rac I .
Nearly all are compelled to combine teaching
wlth'som8 other occupation In order to make
a living. Thus following a trade among

opening of time exposition , there were re
markable proofs ot the tremendous progress
made In three years. The physical Impro\'c.

raised for the larltet itio cattle. They are
s till large , muscular , wih broad chests , capn.

wit and capacity for thoughUuluess : quite
equal to the white pClsantry of Emmrope . Im't
this time , seeing that at 'tuskegee the colored
poltcal 11emagogllo was conspleuols by hmk
absence , they have com to honor "educa.

From hundreds ot remote districts hay ! ,

They testify In every wly to the Improve-

propaganda. They agree unanimously to
stop living on corn pane hnd raise wheat mind

-Frank Wade , deputy Vnlted Stales mar-
sha ] , gives the wrier patculars of a curl-
ous Incident he once witnmeaed at Pine Ridge
agency while visiting tiat reservation to
serve sUbpoenas on wlt.ess and others
whose presence was required at an approach-
lug term ot time United Slates court. The
Incident concerns a praclce with which but
few western people are fmiar , even though
living In proximIty to Indian ! reservations ,
and has never been desribed or even reo
fcrred to In prInt. The deputy marshal was
seated In the agent's ofce when ho chanced
to glance down the wan road which en-
ters the agency In the distance ho beheld
two objects , which upon closer approach he
discerned were Indians-on aged warrior and
a squaw , They were on foot The old war-
nor appeared to . b4 very feeble , and was
leaning for simpport upon his wife , who was
his companion. Several times before reach-
Ing the agency the old Indian sank to the
aencY
earth , and while seated In the roadway was
carefully supported by the squaw , a younger
and more robust person. After resting In
this tashlon until his waning strength was
partially rlalued , the old Sioux tolerel
to his feet , and still leanlug on the squaw
for support , again resumed his Journey to-
ward the agency. Atcr several more rests
the couple reached time hgency buildings , and
after circling around ' tew of the more
prominent structures , restug at Intervals as
retl\g
before stated , the old warier started slowly
and painfully on his . , /homeward Journey ,
again supported by his ' faIthful and patent
wife When at the 1Ic It was seen that
J
ag
the only garment worn In the aged Indian
was a linen sheet , which4me4 , kept carefully
wrapped about him. The painful and tedious
Journey was taken In ' iccordance with what
Is common practice with ! , sQme of the Sioux ,
and Is known as th'O"last visit 1 the
agency " the journey tini undertaken only
by those who are conTnled that they are
abut to die. I 1& sold , Ut principal object
of the last visit Is to show the Indian's
good will toward - the agency ' authorities.

have to be drawn against the negotiation
of that amount of stock of the Anaconda

In i \'al street ts that not only shall we ex-
port no more gold thl' year , but may quiI
probably Import itThat contingency must

would support any upward tendency In

Volvo some neglect of our Investments , IJt
the inflation has reached such
Inlaton rEuehed a high
tension that the time cannot he dlstnnt
when prUlent operators will begin to rral-

Upon the whole , timerofore . we Are far
