New York Breyers Turned Adrift by Their Employers To-day. « New York, Nov. 28.—The headquarters of the ale and porter bosses at No. 2 Irving place presented a lively scene this morning, when hundreds of men formed in line to be regis- tered to take the place of the journe brewers to be locked out. The men employed in the various breweries were interrogated to- day as to whether they were ready to give up theunion. Those replying in the affirmative were retained in their work, while those e pressing their loyalty to the union were i formed that there was no more work for them. The number of men to be locked out cannot be ascertained as yet, but it is thought that a large majority will stick by the union, 2s Soe Will Not Raise the Quarantine.

THE OH10 NATIONAL GUARD may COME—THE PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS—SCENES AT CHAIRMAN BRITTON'S OFFICE TO-DaAY—THE ROOMS AT THE PENSION BUILDING, this morn- One at inauguration headquarters ing could almost.fancy he could hear the dram- beats and see the flying flags of the military pageant next 4thof March. Chairman Brit- ton was closeted during the with sol- dierly-looking men, and Col, Wright, chair- man of the public comfort committee, was ex- ploring the town with other soldierly-looking men, searching for quarters. The indications are that the inaugural procession will exceed in numbers and in general display anything of the kind ever witnessed on Pennsylvania ave- nue. THE ORI0 TROOPS. Gen. Axline, adjutant-general of the Ohio national guard. and Col. Gedney, Capt. Taylor, Capt. Smith and other Ohioans are in the city to-day looking for quarters for Ohio troops that are coming to the inauguration. Gen. Axline hada epee initerview with Chairman Bri ton. ¢ Ohio national guard will be repre- sented at the coming inauguration for the first time. It has been positively decided to send a brigade of 2,500 men, so composed asa to repre- sent every arm of the service. The artillery will make an especially fine display. The dele- gation here say that there may be many more troops sent, but that depends on whether the Baltimore and Ohio will make proper ar- rangements. The railroad company, it is said, is in doubt whether they can furnish transpor- tation for the entire national guard at time, when the greatest demands will be made on the equipment of their road. . LOOKING FOR QUARTERS, Gen, Axline, accompanied by Col. Wright, visited the Washington barracks and the navy- yard to see whether the Ohio troops could be quartered in either of these places, As the regular troops coming here from Fort Monroe, New York, and other places will be quartered at the Washington barracks, it was found im- possible to arrange for quartering troops there. Pour years ago some visiting militiamen were quartered in the navy-yard, but the changes made in the yard since then make it doubt! whether any troops can be quartered there this time. It is expected that some of the market- houses can be used. THE PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS, Gen. J, P. 8. Gobin, commanding the third brigade Pennsylvania national guard. and Gen. D. M. Hastings, adjutant-general of Pennsyl- vania, arrived in town this morning. Gen. Hastings is a tall man, with a blonde moustache and goatee, and looks like a French field mar- shal. Gen, Gobin wears a short, grayish beard and is a veteran soldier. It is expected that he Will be governor of Pennsylvania beiore long. They came down here to make some prelimi- nary arrangements for the coming of the na- tional guard next March. They called on Chairman Britton this morning and had a long tulk with him. Gen, Hasting’s, when asked by a Svar reporter how many men were coming, replied: “The whole national guard.” “Have you secured quarters “No; not yet.” said Gen. Hastings. “This is a big city, and there is plenty of room for us. The inaugural committee is arranging every- thing so well that there is not much for us to do here.” Gen. Gobin said that they would bring as many men as were here four years ago, and in addition the mounted men and artillery, It is expected also that Indiana will be largely represented in the line. Already it is stated arrangements have been made for the trans- portation here of Gen. Harrison's old regiment and the Wanamaker guards, who will act as escort. The Minnesota-newspapers say that it is proposed tosend a regiment from that state. THE PENSION BUILDING. Chairman Britton yesterday afternoon visited the pension building and had a further inter- view with Commissioner Black relating to the use of the pension building for the inaugural ball. The result of the interview was extremely satisfactory to Mr. Britton. In effect Gen. Black consented to the use of all rooms re- uired. The desks, record cases, and other urniture will be pushed back ‘against the wall. Mr. Britton says that ornamental screens can be put up so as to hide them from vie' Gen. Black was to draw w ment to-day, which, after being®igned by Mr. Britton, is to be submitted to Secretary Vilas. PUBLIC ComFoRT. Col, Wright said to-day that he had received applications from fifty or more organizations for quarters. A clerk was installed in the reom of the committee on public comfort to- day. All the letters received applying for quarters were put in his hands and he was busy making the proper entries in his register. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE FUND. The following subscriptions to the inaugurat guarantee fund, in addition to those already published in Tae Star, have been received by Capt. Geo. E. Lemon: William Laird, jr., 3 Dr, Harrison Crook, #25; W. D, Clark & #25; Julius Lansburgh, #100; 2 John Sherman & Co., % ‘2 Frank J. Tibbetts, Anton Fischer, $1 J. King, #25; Henry F. 3 ; B.

The a Invincibles, of Philadelphia, commanded by ex-Mayor Smith, will come on inauguration day with 300 men and a band. The Phelps Guards, of Paterson, N. J., have secured quarters at St. John’s college, on Ver- mont avenue, for 100 men, The Republican Block association, of Phila- eg will come with 100 men, ir. Somerville held a conference with the Commissioners yesterday for the purpose of securing the enactment of similar police regu- lations as were promulgated four years ago for the protection of the rights of visitors in hiring public conveyances, Goy. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, and his staff, have, through Gen. Hastings, secured quarters at the Riggs house for the inaugural period. Citizens of the 14th legislative district met at the residence of Lemuel Mackall last night and organized “the Harrison and Morton fire de- tment” to take part in the inauguration. ir. Mackall was elected president; James Har- vey Hill, secretary, and Edward Thornton, treasurer. STATE DELEGATES IN THE PARADE. Mr. M. M. Parker, the chairman of the com- mittee on civic organizations, has devised a plan which he thinks will have the effect of bringing into the inaugural parade a good ry resentation from each state. He proposes to appoint some leading man from each state on 6 committee, and place in his charge the en- tire state and let him make the necessary ar- rangements for its representation. Mr. Parker has already made the following appointments: Maryland, Gen. E. W. Ross, of Baltimore; Penn- sylvania, Wm. R. Leeds, of Philadelphia; New York, Gen. H. A. Barnum, of New York city and A. B. Phillips, of Brooklyn. Other sppoint: ments will be made as rapidly as possible. INAUGURATION NOTES, Mr. John Gibson has been appointed addi- tional member on the committee on be doa Col.

The chief recommends that a small vessel be assigned to the duty of destroying or removing from the track of vessels approaching the At- lantic seaports the many wrecks now so dan- gerous to foreign and coasting vessels. THE HYDROGRAPHIC OFFICE. He again calls attention to the fact that the | present quarters of the hydrographic office are | entirely inadequate, and suggests that an ap- | propriation be recommended for the construc- tion of a specially-adapted building, and that in the meantime and increased appropriation be obtained for the renting of buildings of suf- ficient capacity. “WORK UPON THE NEW OBSERVATORY on Georgetown heights has begun,” says the Commodore. “It will be necessary in order to the uninterrupted progress of the work that the appropriation for the next fiseal year be made immediately available, and the whole amount asked for should be granted as it will be required during the fiscal year, 1890.” NAVAL RESERVES. The report again calls attention to the sub- ject of establishing a system of naval reserves to meet the demands of the a for rapidly manning its fleet upon the outbreak of war, as indicated in the last annual report of the Sec- retary. ae WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

Bourke Lrkety To BE APPOINTED.— The staff vacancies in the army which are awaiting the President's action continue to be a subject of speculation in army circles, and there is great uncertainty about the coming appointments except one. and that is the suc- cessor of the late Major Farnsworth in the in- spector general's office. It is considered al- most as good as settled that Capt. John G, Bourke, of the third cavalry, will be the man. He was such a clore second to Capt. Lawton in the recent 1 seers that it is thought hardly likely that he can be passed by again. It is said that his conceded ability and the favor in which he is held generally make %im a leader in the race. He is on duty in the War department, Indictments Against Newman.

Curriden, the secretary of the reform school, on behalf of the board of trus- tees, expressing their appreciation of the valu- able aid rendered by Inspector of Buildings Entwisle in his work on the erection of the new family buili at the reform school. Some days ago the Commissioners received @ petition from Wm. C. Morrison and others, roperty owners in squares 237 and 238, pray- fg that the roadway on T street, between 13th and 14th streets northwest, be paved with gon- crete. The paper was referred to Capt. Sy- mons, who passed upon the case as follows: “The petitioners are in error in think: that there is vested in the Commissioners re- tionary power for the selection of streets to be improved wee of the apy migeneaa od — purpose. The only way that this street can paved is by ha ad it Tineluded in the list of streets provided for by Congress.

THEY WANT A SIDEWALK. Kenesaw avenue, between 14th and 16th streets, is in a very bad condition. There are upwards of twenty houses on this street be- tween 14th and 16th streets. representing about 75,000 worth of property. The District has never spent a cent on this street. Mr. H. B. Zeverley, representing the —- erty owners in the square, called on the Commissioners to get a sidewalk laid, and made the above statements. The matter was re- ferred to Capt. Symons, who recommended that a board walk be laid under the compulsory permit system at a cost of 2140. SHUTTING OFF THE WATER.
