Representative Candler, of Masea chusetU, has Introduced in the House by request, a bill providing that in the building to be erected by tl Government for Its exhibit at the World's Columbian imposition space shall be allotted to the polored pro pie of tho United" Btatet to exhibit works of art, field products, live stock Inventions, manufactures, and other articles raised, fabricated, purchased or owned by colored people.

It Is the general opinion among Senators that Mr. Frye will be chosen President protempore to succeed Mr. Ingalls. The Malno .Senator Is not making an actlre canvass, but his friends eay that ho will easily out distance Mr. Hoar In the amicus. Senator Piatt has been mentioned In connection with tho succession, as he has been frequently called to the oh air by Vloe-Presldont Morton. The Connetlont Senator, however, It Ineligible, because he Is not a hold over Senator, Ills term expires on the 4th of March. He has been re elected, but of course cannot be sworn in until the Flfty-secopd Con gress meets, unless tho Senate shonld be convened In special session. Buoilen's Arnioa Salve.

They Inoludod important diplomatic and consular appoint ments and an assistant treasurer at Bt. Louis. The list was headed by tho namo of Representative Ander fon, of Kansas, who is tho first of the members whose tortus explio next week to bo glvon a berth. Among the Kansas delegation tho appointment was not unexpected, for it was well known that the President was ac quainted with Mr. Anderson's desire to continuo in public life. President Harrison and Mr. Anderson were not school mates, but occupied tho samo room, and tho friendship of those boyhood days ljas been kept alive through many years. Mr. An derson did not specify the particular position which he desired to obtain, but is understood to be thoroughly satisfied with the placo which the Presidont selected for him. The New York Sun declares that it turns out that tho riderless horse in the Sherman funeral cortege greatly disappointed tho entire town. It will be remembered that the horse was enevoloped in plush rand only the General's boots and stirrups were visible. Many persons who have witnessed great military fnnerals abroad declare that on those occas ions the riderless horse was simply saddled and bridled, and that the Bight of the empty saddle was always most impressive. This wgs the case at the actual Sherman funeral In Bt Lois, by the way. To-day the In dian warrior's horse is buried with him, and our leading a soldier's horse to his grave is but a humane expression of the prompting that be gat tho ancient custom. Senator Itlalr has reported from the committee on Agriculture with amendments the bill providing fer the establishment of a division of silk culture in the Agricultural De partment, for the development and encouragement of the silkworm In dustry In the United States. The bill directs tho Secretary of Agri culture to eHtablish experimental silk stations In various State, to de velop cocoons by planting mulberry tree, and otherwise to promote the silk Industry by the free distribution of silkworm eggs to the farmers of the country. The amendments tho bill strike out the bonus to tw paid to the producers of cocoons au make the location of the station optional with the Secretary of Apr llture.
