The reason given has usually been Incom petency, drunkenness, bad record, or oUier causes, but the discharged employes had no recourse. It is claimed, however, that a majority of the mendischarged were released because they are members of tho Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers, Firemen, Order of Railway Trainmen, Railway Conductors or the S witchmeu's Slutual Aid Ashociation. "If they are not reinstated," an engineer is reported as saying, "there will be the biggeststnke the Wabash has ever known, audwe'llmakeltcostthecompauyinorethan it could save on non-union men In a hundred years.

AVhelau appears as the applicant for barroom license and is opposed by sundry citizens, including the Portner tenants, will soon be brought bcrore the excise board upon its merits, and 1U de cision Is awaited with much Interest, since several important points are involved. Attorney .Donaldson will probably make a motion In the case this morning. lie will insist that the papers shall bo nt all times left accessible to the counsel and others interested. Meanwhile, it having bec decided by the board that the Partner is not, within tho law, an "established" hotel, Mr. Whelan is arranging to remove this ob jection. He is notifying the tenants that he lias leased the building for "hotel purposes," anil tin agents fur the property, Messrs. J. Harrison Johnson & Son, ar sending notices to the same effect. f To this, it is alleged, the tenants have replied that should Mr. Whelan obtain a liccn-e. they will leave the building in a body. ANTI-SALOON LEAdUE'S TOSITION." The AMI Saloon Xeague has strengthened Its position by adding to the literature of tlie case an opinion or each of two promi nent attorneys, who say .that, even If classed as a hotel, the house Is -within 400 feet of a private school, nnrt-lt is, there fore, not proper to grant the license. In this thoy take issue with Attorney Thomas, who says that tl.e prohibitory clause In the law does not apply to hotels. Theattorney for thelJIstrict, In an opinion filed with the Commissioners, has decided that the Great Falls Electric Hallway bar the right to operate Its road by overhead trolley.and thai such right was notaf fected by the act of Congress abolishing George town. He also decides that the failure to run cars regularly for the accommodation of the public. If there nas such failure; docs not operate to forfeit the company's charter, unless the United Stntes, by appro priate proceedings, chooses to take ad vantage of such f uilure. This opinion was drawn out by a reference to Mr. Thomas of the application of the company for erinis'-on to maintain the trolley system within the city limits for the space of about one and one half squares for tho propulsion of Its cars to and from the union iussenger station. MAJOH POWELL'S VIEWS. Tho company's right to do tills was questioned by Commissioner Powell, for tlie reason that the charter gives no positive right to the overhead trolley, and conse quently the general law, which furthermore is the latest in date, prohibiting any ad ditional wires in former Georgetown, seems fully applicable to tho case. A majority of the Commissioners yesterday Indorsed tlie view taken by Attorney Thomas, Major Powell alone dissenting. A case of more tuanusual intercut Ishcfore the Commissioners, Involving the right of a citizen to construct a high wall upon his own premises for otherpurpose than that of building. Mr. J. A.

Tho opening sermon last night, before the eleventh annual conference of the workcrsottherrotcslnnt Episcopal Church, among tho colored people, was an ar raignment of the church for Its failure to furnish adequate religious education to tbc negro. It was preached by Rev. Richard Bright, of St. Stephen's, Savannah, Gn. Mr. Ilrlght is young, earnest and eloiiuent. He speaks with a fervor born of convic tion. His manner is vigorous but kindly. The conference continues till Friday night with three meetings cadi day. The services last night were at St. Mary's Chapel, near Q street, and were con ducted by President II. Phillips, of Phil adelphia, assisted by Ilev. O. M. Waller, of Philadelphia; Father Field, of Lostou; Rev. George F. Hragg, ot Boston, and Rector Mitchell, of St. Mary's. MR. IlUIGIIT'S ADDRESS. The text was Paul's command to rear 'children "In the nature and admonition of the Lord." Mr. Ilrlght said In part: "There can be np question that St. Paul felt the people were giving too much at tention to secular education and ton little to Christian education. Ills writing wai, however, to all nations, not merely to the Ephexlans. "Does the Episcopal Church believe In the Christian education of the negro? The question is prompted by observation of what other churches are doing. Time was, per chance, when the church was restricted, but for thirty years It has tad full opportunity to work. "Butlt has nboutthlrteenmiss Ion schools, two normal schools, and three theological halls. Beside this place the figures for other churches. "The Methodists maintain. In addition to numerousmixlim school", HOnormalschools, 11 colleges, and 7 theological schools; the Presbyterians, 22 normal, 3 colleges, and .1 theological. The CongregatlonalUts give $12,000,000 to this object, the Methodists. S5,000,000; the Presbyterians, S3.000, 000; the Episcopalians, $02-1,694. "The church is theoretically In favor of the Christian education of the negro; prac tically she is not. The church Is a failure in bringing the negro from the bondage of intellectual darkness. BIBLE NOT ALLOWED. "In Savannah education of the negro is at a low ebb. In one public school the Bible is not allowed at all because the building was donated on condition that It should not be Fifteen hundred negro children in Sarnnnali cannot find room in the schools."

A large and appreciative audience was present and manifested much Interest in Mr. Camp's talk. The siieaker was introduced by Gen. A. W. Greely, and his address embraced how a magazine is illustrated, the electro typing and stereotyping, what is paid for articles, the new type-setting machines, the money value of newsand 6tories, and points about famous authors and artists. The lecture was illustrated by means of stereoptlcon views. After the lecture there was an exhibition of rare literary curios, including rare, original manuscripts and drawings by Sir 'Walter Scott, Victor Hugo, Longfellow, U'llkle Collns, Charles Dickens, Jean Iugclow, Mark Twain, Charles lleade, Thomas Hardy, George DuMaurier, Thomas Nast, Frederic Rem ington, James- Russell Lowell, Napoleon, Queen Victoria and many others.

Baldwin, chairman of the Chippewa Indian Commission, defining his duties and arawering certain questions which Mr. Baldwin has asked relative to the settlement of the affairs of the com mission and closing up the work for which it was appointed. The commission has been in existence six years, and now that it is about to cease it will leave considerable work to be done, but this may be performed by the Indian agent at 'White Earth. None of the ceded lands has yet been sold, because of a provision that all must be ftcst appraised before any are sold. An effort will be made In the next Congress to have the law modified so that such lands as have been appraised can be sold, and the money used to pay the Indians and (o reimburse the United States for the expenses thus far incurred by the commission and the appraisers of the lands.
