The Furloughed Navy Yard Workmen. THEY CANNOT BE RE-EMPLOYED UNTIL THE APPROPRIATION BILL 18 PASSED—PROBA- BILITY OF SPEEDY ACTION BY CONGRESS. Commodore Sicard, U.8.N., chief of ord- nance, stated to a STAg reporter to-day that the sub-committee of the House appropriations committee has now be- fore it the urgency deficiency bill for the ord- nance work on the new cruisers, and that every disposition is shown to provide funds for continuing the work at the Washington navy yard at the earliest possible moment. The Al- lanta Is in a very advanced stage and the Bos- ton is but litue behind her, and no one wants to see the work on them delayed for any length of time, so that there can be no opposition to” appropriating the funds necessary. He thought that the bill would be reported favorably eurly next week. It is out of the question though, he said, to suppose tha: the Jurloughed men can return to work before the uppropriation is made, in anticipation of the passage of the bill, Such a course would be illegal, Such service would be entirely volun- tary, “but government officials are — tor- bidden to accept such voluntary services, except In cases involving the destrue tion of government property or the loss of human tife. When the large reduction was made at the navy yards some time ago, volun- tary services of atew employes were uecepted to preserve the government property, but for no other purposes. There are no such exigen- cies at present, and consequently the workineo will have to awuit the action of Congress.

The Senate stands at poe forty-two republicans to thirty- democrats, so that the latter must gain four seats in order to have a tie.

A sub-committee of the House appropria- tions committee met late yesterday afternoon and considered the urgent deficiencies that it is deemed necessary to appropriate for at once. The matter was not disposed of finally and Monday morning they will meet again. As the House does not meet until Tuesday their Tecommendations cannot be acted upon until then. The whole committee will meet early Tuesday morning to receive the report of the sub-committee and to prepare the bill to report to the House on ite reassembling. The most urgent demand for this action comes from the suspended employes of the ordnance department of the Washington navy yard. Work ls suspended in two branches of this department, the deficlen- les belng $193,000 in ‘one case and 8150,000 In the other. ‘The committee will recomniend that this deficiency be supplied at once, and the bill will probably be passed the first thing Tuesday morning. THE OTHER DEFICIENCIES are as follows: $135,000 to pay witness’ fees in the United States courts, and 850,000 for Jurors’ fees; $200,000 for artificial limbs, and $8,000 for the Treasury building.

THE POWER OF A VESTRY TO DISSOLVE A REC- TOR'S RELATIONS TO A PARISH—A LEGAL BRIEF SUBMITTED TO THE ASCENSION CHURCH VESTRY—DIFFERENT OPINIONS AS TO THE LAW. * The legal questions arising trom the resolu- tion adopted by the vestry of Ascension church asking for the resignation of the rector and the refusul of the latter to comply with this request are in some respects novel in this diocese, but are of great interest to all Episcopalians. ‘The entire question at issue, divested of the per sonal element, rests upon the legal construction of the laws as to the powers of the rector and the vestry. Atthe lust meeting of the vestry Mr. A. J, Falls presented a brief upon this sub- ject. MR, FALLS STATEMENT OF THE LAW. Mr. Falls’ briet is as follows: “I have given anxious thought to the above matter, and after such reseaach und exumina- tion as das been within iy power, beg leave to submitin writing my conclusions as to the competency of a vestry to remo ‘The vestry act of other things, provides untt ‘the vestry burish shall have fail pow: from time to Ume, to chose oxe or more minis- ters * * * and agree and contract with suet ministers or minister * * ¢ for his or their sillary * * * and thelr choice and contract sttull be entered among the proceedings. Upon the ex: Mh OF suid contriet 1 ath jon, tenew their © & ew contract; but, if they do not ineline 80 to do, tueir former contract and choice shall re- and UBL they declare their desire to make a new choice or contract.’ ” his uct prescribes the power by which the rector may be ealled, and the following canon, in connection with the act, preseribes their rem= edy in case of disagreem Canon 4. (“Ol ditterence and their congregations and of the dissolution 01 the pastoral connection,”) provides as follows: “Lu case of 4 controversy between any rector or Assistant minister of any chureh or parish, and the vestry or congregation of such chureh, or parish, which caunot be settled by them- selves, the parties, or either of them, may make application to the bishop of tue divcese, who shall thereupon notify each of the conusting parties to furnish him wich the names of three presvy ters of tire diocese, “Znle bisuop Shali then add to these the names of three other presbyters, and the whole nu:n- ber shall then be reducea to five, by striking ol tue names alternately by each of the con- testing parties. Should either party*retuse or neglect Wo baine three presbyters, oF to strike from the lists aforesaid, the bishop shall act for the parties sv refusing or neglecting. and in all tne proceedings aloresaid the vestry or congregution, as the case may be, shall be rep- resented by some layman of their lumber, duly selected by them for the purpose. Provided, That tue party, or parties, applying as above shall have fitst given the bishop satisfactory assurance of compliance with whatever may be required of them as the final issue of such pro- ceedings.” ‘There is, in my opinion, no conflict between the above’ uct and cunon, ‘The former evidently contemplated a case in which “a controversy” has arisen during the term o: some existing contractual relation be- tween the rector and the vestry or congrega- Hon. ‘This is a case in whieh the rector has not originally been employed for # distinct period— “such (expressly defined) time as the vestry muy Wink proper. ‘There is here, thereiore, no expiration of ‘such contract,” this clreui stance being the condition precedent to such power as the vestry may have under the Mary- jand statute, ‘fue case therefore comes under the canon above, that is, is one to the solution of which we aré ww address ourselves more as Churchmen than merely us citizens capable of contracted and bei..g contracted with, and of being bound by contract, or per contra, of exacting them, ‘My conclusion Is, that ifthe vestry or the con- gregation think fit to take steps looking toa dissolution of their relations with the rector, the first step is an application to the bishop.”” DIFFERENCES OF OPINION. While Mr. Falls voted with the majority on the resolutions requesting Dr. Elliott's resigna- tion, yet in the conclusions reached in the above brief upon the powers of the vestry he expresses the views of the minority. The latier believe thut the canon law is not inconsistent with the Maryland statute, and where no term of service is specified the law and customot the chureh applies. The majority, however, hold to the opinion that the vestry can abrogate a contract at any time without recourse to any authority outside of themselves. inong of every authority, between ministers ‘TRICT COMMITTEE. ‘The bill to exempt the Corcoran art gallery from taxation was yesterday reported favorably trom the Senate District committee, as stated in TE Sag, with a written report, which re- cites the deed of gift by Mr. W.

Loxpox, Feb. 20.—The postponement of the Irish proposals leaves the political situation in chaos. John Morley’s short speeches tast night were warmly received and clearly show that he is quite frank in announcing a different atti- tude from previous secretaries, The United Ireland says to-day: “Moriey will be the first to understand that his coming is not the com- ing of peace, but of an armed truce, during which it was never more necessary to keep our strength intact, In the meantime the most un- compromising Irishman need not hesitate to think of him with irlendliness, respect and hearty good will in all. his dangerous encoun- ters with the dragons of castle rule.” ‘The followmg paragraph I_know was written by a well-known member of parliament who is intimate with both Chamberlain and Morley. It sums up the situation accurately: 'W hat probably is going on in the cabinet is @ friendly contest—an undeclared contest, likely enough—between Morley and his old ally, Chamberlain, for the sway over Glad- stoue’s mind. ‘The’ more Morley succeeds the nearer Ireland will get to repeal and a pariia- ment.

Doubtfal Whether It was Done by Apaches or Cowboys. Santa Fe, N. M., Feb. 20.—Col. J. Franciseo Chaves has received a letter from a trustworthy party at Las Lunas regarding the killing of eight, sheep herders, mention of which has already been made in these dispatches. The jetter is dated February 17, and states that “Valentine Romero's son arrived at Las Lunas yesterday morning and reported that eight of Solomon Luna's sheep herders had a fight with band of Apaches on the Little Colorada river, in Arizona, and that all had been killed, Major Marmos came in from La Guna last night, and reports that he heard en route that a, number of sheep herders had been killed near the Arizona line, but he knew nothing as to the cause of the trouble. Solomon Luna and T, Luna left Las Lunas yesterday morning at the head of amounted posse for the scene of the trouble, and were joined by Patrocinio Luna with another posse trom Belen.” The Mexi cans incline tothe belief that the killing was not done by Apaches, but by cowboys. The feeling between the cowboys and sheep herders has been very bitter of late, owing to disputes over grazing ground. No’ word has yet been received from Luna's posse.
