In ms of col Present ace th ord as to the allegations of discrimination | on account of color. Did they kn such conduct on his part or om the part of ai the white officers c brigade? ‘The ques- on wat put directly to ench, and they all— Majors Revells Fleetwood and Captains Yerry cud Campbell—responded most emphatic- ally in the negative. The interrogatory was reiterated, but the result was the same. NECESSITY OF CONSOLIDATIO’ charges ef race discrimination having us been sutisfactorily disposed of the general went on to diseuss the necessity for consolida- tion. He showed clearly that instead of having discriminated against the colored troops he had gone so far in the opposite direction as to make it indubitably certain that he had favored them at the expense of the white soldiers. For two years the colored battalions had received much more than their quota of the appropriations ‘They had maintained two battalions of but two ies each and « battalion of two compa- ‘sts just as much as one battalion of four companies—the legal strength. Consolidation simply mean that the colored troops would be placed on the seme basis as the white militiumen: they would receive equalallowances with the white men, but they would not, as they had in the past, get any more than was justly due them. The facts thus made plain surprised the committee greatly and the mem- bers thereof agreed that whatever there had been of discrimination in the District National Guard the burden had evidently been borne by the white commands. TAILED TO BRING ABOUT CONSOLIDATION BEFORE. Gen. Ordway, continuing, said he had tried nearly two years ago to bring about a consoli- dation of the two battalions, but his best efforts had resulted in failure. He desired to know whether, when four companies were consoli- ted in one battalion. the members of the bat- talions would agree to serve under the cominand of either Maj. Revellsor Maj. Fleetwood. This was rather a delicate question, so Messrs. Bruce, Lynch and Chase retired to the staf dressing room. where questions and answers that lacked the perverting influences of embarrassment were freely put and generally responed to. Maj. Fleetwood was the only officer who de- clined to appear before the committee in exec- utive session, he claiming that, having had no opportunity to consult with the officers of his battalion, could not enter into any agreement as to future action. FEELING OF THE TWO COMMANDS. The principal effort of the committee while in executive session was to gauge the feeling of the commands and to find out whether the men of the eighth would serve under Maj. Fleet- wood or the men of the seventh under Maj Kevells when the consolidation was made. When Maj. Fleetwood refused to appear before the committee—for the existence of which he was largely responsible—nothing officially cvald be heard from the seventh. but the eighth lifted wp its triple voice and emitted no uncer- tam sound. Maj. Reveils averse to the sw lowing up of his companies by the seventh ' and bis two company command- «very emphatically that neither the men in their commands would w¢ to an organization which was con- trolled by Maj. Fleetwood. After an absence half an hour the committee returned to the ters room and reported. The three rs were decidedly of the opinion that a com totion of the two battalions wasa prime nee ity, dema m the interests of fairness to the white troops. Then the com- ities expressed the aj nsion that the jidation could net be harmonioasly teeted with either Ma; Pleetwood or i at its that then prebe than p bave be selected A SUGGESTION AS TO TER Two MaoR: ‘Then it was suggested thet place their resignations in the commiitee’s keeping and that the matter of selecting their successor be left entirely to President Harri- son. fo this proposition Maj. Revells g: bearty assent, but when Maj. Fleetwood was asked if he would do the same thing he de- clined to reply, arguing that he must first con- ult with the Officers of his vaitalior. 3 Fleetwood stated that the seventh wi & meeting later in the evening and if the citi- zens’ committee would only journey up to 7th and O streets they would “probably arrive at seuething like a conclusion. The confe 2 aiter being in session nearly two nd a half, adjourned. X. ORDWAY DECLINES To TALK. Gen. Ordway pleasantly but firmly deciined to wlk of the conference to either a Sran re- porter or auy other kind of a reporter. “I shall say nothing of our -leliberations,” he said, “because any utterances of mine might be distorted. I have been persistently mis represented, and therefore [ decline to. discuss the matter. Iiaid dewn that rule when this stebate opened and I see no reason why I should depart from it. Ask the members of the citi- zens committee for information. WHAT RECORDER nRUCH SAID. “There is but little to tell,” said ex-Senator Bianche K. Bruce when the reporter sur- rounded the committee. and Messrs. Lynch and Chase nodded acquieseence in the opinion expressed. “We have agreed.” continued Mr. Bruce, “that a consolidation is absolutely necessary, but there are one or two matters to be arranged before unitication is posible. Ana Row as to Gen. Ordway's course im this raatter. He admitted to us that his order disbanding the seventh and eighth battalions was open to the ruction we placed upon it, namely, that it discriminsted against certain troops because of @olor, and we freely confessed that we had so eunstrned his action. What we thought and what we now think are two entirely different aad widely separated things. The facts in the ease have been laid before us, and we couid not im fairness to the general refrain from saying | that his condact has been admirable.

The Evening Star is the Oldest and most firmly esta» lished newspaper published in the District of Columbia, having won the high position it holds in the confi- dence of the people of Washington by forty years of faithful and unswerving devotion to their interests, without regard to any other influence or com- sideration whatsoever. Tue Star is the Largest paper published in Washington, with a general equipment and printing facil- ities three-fold greater and better than those of any other Washington paper; and, having the full Day Reports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supple- mented by an unequaled service of Exclusive Special Dispatches from al. prominent points in America and Europe, it prints more and fresher ‘Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly sup- oly, furnishing at the same time a greater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Inteili- gence, and a larger quantity aad higher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscellany than any papes in the District. Being delivered at the homes of regular subscribers for the trifling sum of ten cents per week, Tar STAR is much the Cheapest paper published in the District, quantity and quality of contents heing considered, fer2gm i.

THe Star’s circulation in the City of Washington is more than three ~ | times larger than that of any other We are daily receiving our apring supply of Noveity | H¢WSpaper, and the number of i Figured and Plain China Silks, Prench and scotch | feaders more than five times as many, It is therefore in that (or even greater) proportion the est advertising med- ium in the District. On this point there is no ground for argument ot doubt, even! It is the common testi- mony of the business community, and generally admitted. Note This Point. Tm Star gived the exact figures of its circul-tion every week, and cheerfully opens its books and press and delivery rooms to any persom having interest in the correctness of its statements, so that its patrons know precisely how much publicity they are getting when they buy space in its columns. see RRR SB wer No other daily newspaper pub- ea Bar lished in Washington dares-@a ear subject itself to this decisive test.
