It Assumes a New and Somewhat Threatening Aspoot. IxnravaPoLts, Nov, 85, —The switchmen's strike has assumed & new and threatening phase. Trafiic in the yards and bolt moved along with commondable rogularity to day The ofMcers assert that the new men are ap plying constantly. The situation with the strikers has grown desperate, and thoy must do something, Consequently they called a nference last night with the eers and firémen, at which a ment favorable to tho switchmen was manl fosted. After a prolonged discussion a de cision was roached which the strikers hailed with pleasure. In accordance with the action of tho meoting, @ committoe, com- posed of representatives of three brotherhoods, ‘as appointed to call on the officers of the various ronds to-day and request them to submit the matter at issue betwoon them and the switch men to arbit: This forenoon the commit, tee cal oral superintendents and followe yns, No threat ac panio and the officials were left 0 judgo for themselves whether a refusal to heed it would lead to furthor complications That they regarded this phase of the trouble s much more serious than mere surface ap pearances indicate is evident from the haste with which they gathered into a secret con ference atthie union station. The result of thia conference of superintendents has as yet taken no definite form for either arbitration or concession Chief Sargent, of the firemen, arrived this morning and joined Chiefs Welkeson and Sweony, of the switchmen. Chief Arthur is now’ positively expected. The brakemen have been outspoken in their sympathy for the switchmen ever since the strike began. On several occasions, o in the trouble, they refused to fill tho cases vacated by the strikers, and were discharged. This action they took simply as individuals, but it is now understood that their brotherhood hus passed on tho question and officially in- structed its members to fill no_places which the switchmen haveabandoned. The reasons for the support which the brakemen are giv- ing the strikers are substantially those ani- mating the engineers and firemen. The number of bralomen which now have becn discharged because of their refusal to do vard work 15 said to exceed thirty, and to be increasing. 1 view of tho engin strong sent serious turn the strike now assumes, the switchmen to-night make public for the first time the paper which they drew up and signed before enter- ing upon the strike. THE NATION'S NAVY. Annual Report of the Ohief Bureau of Navigation. WasuiNaron, Nov. 28.—Commodore J. G Waulker, chief of the burcau of navigation, has submitted his annual report to the secre vy. In discussing the improve nantical instruments he states that make are no longer ment in chronomoters of. fore purchascd for the navy. Attention is called to the report of Commander R. B. Bradford, naval inspoctor of electric lighting. The first man-of-war in tho world, says the re- port, to bo lighted by clectricity, the Iren- ton, was installed under the direction of this bureau, under an approvriation espe- oially asked for the burcau for that purpose. from the fixst this method of lighting has been suceesdful, and it is now conceded that no ship is complete without, etectric lights, which have been proved beyond a doubt to oxert a direct and_salutary influence upon the sanitary condition, discipline and ofti- ciency of vessels of war. Itis the carnost recommendation of tho “burcau that whatever charges may_be made in the adwinistrative relations of the naval college, nothing may be done to interrupt the attainment of its main object, namely, toe systematic study by naval ofticers of the practice and methods of modern war as ap- plied to the speeial necessitics of the Unite States. The commodore recommends that a naval reserve be established in order to meet the demunds of the country for rapidly mun ning and increasing its ficet upon a_plan of war, Rapid mobilization may be said to bo the leading naval question of the day, and tho recent nayal mancuvers abroad have given occasion for the frequent statement of the opinion that to readiness of ships and guns must be joined equal readiness of tradesmen, to mako any system of mobilization completd and effective. S e THE MOIH\F)N CHURCH OASE. Fat Receiver and Attorney Fees, and Charges of Fraud. SauT LAKE, Nov. 28.—|Special Telegram to Tur Beg.]—A good deal of excitement was created in the supreme court of the territory to-day when the mattor of the application of the receiver and his attornoys, in the Mor- mon chiurch case, for compensation came up for a hearing. The examiner had reported allowing the receiver $25,000 and each of his attorneys $10,000. District Attorney Hob- son, of Colorado, who has had special charge of this case, was on hand for the govern- ment, and announced that he would oppose the allowances as cxcessive. Bofore he had an_opportunity to do so, however, Judge Zane, ex-chief justice of Utah, pre- sented a petition on behalf of certain school districts, claiming as beneficiaries under tho act of congress upon wiich this escheat case is based, which petition asks leave on belialf of tho school districts to be made parties to the suit. The petition alleged fraudulent and dishonost conduct on the part of the re- coiver and _ his ottorneys, insinu- ated that the government was not using proper diligence, and _claimed that uuless the petitioners were allowed to intervene, the fund i the receivers hauds would bo largely wasted. After an exciting discussion the court_denied the petition, but upon the demand of District Attorney Hob son, appointed a referce to investigate tho charges of collusion and fraud, and deferred action upon the application for compensation until after such investigation.

Just two miles south of Buford station, in a decp cut, and on a sharp curve, was the scene of an accident on Octobe which resulted in the death of Prof. M Cann, known all over the Union Pacific road with the bridge department of ‘which he has been an employe since December 1, 1866, most of that time in the capacity of pile dviver forcman. At tho time of the accl dent he was working in the bridge gang, of which L. T. Powell is foreman, but, on the day of the casualty here curoniciled, J. B. Marburger was acting as foreman. McCann's death was caused through the colliding of a freight engine and the hand car, he and the rest of the gang, not se ing the train weil within about one hundred and thirty feet from them. Thrco of the men left the hundear, but the deceased and another man tried to'get it out of the road of the train, and, when all too lute, the former started running up the track in front of the engine. 1t ck the hand car sending it flying through the air, stril McCann and knocking him do One of his fellow worlanen raised him +from beneath the car wher said, “This ends me.” Tender bore him flo the caboose attached to the freight train, and Conductor Bond and the rest of those present made him as comfortable as circumstances would permit.

However. the news Was confirmed at the Madison Square theater that it was not likely that he would live long. What the exact nature of his trouble was could not be ascertained, but it is probably an attac of rheumatic gout, mingled with dys- popsin, he having suliored from bhoth troubles for years, In the present in- stance the gout is expected 10 reach the heart. The last time Mr. Boucicault was scen in public was on the occasion of the first performances of *‘Sweet Lavender” at the Lyceum theater. This was on Tues- day night a week ago, and he then ap- peired to be quite fecble, having to catch on his wife’s arm to descend the steps of the theater. Mr. Boucicault is an old man. He has very nearly reached the alloted age of three score and ten. Ho is white-haired, yet his fuco neve looked fresher within the ppst ten year: 1 on the nightof “Sweet Lavender herein mentioned.

All of these editions arve self-sup- porting wlthout advertising, for by general order no War Cry is permitted to print an advertise- ment of any except religious matters and publications or articles manafactured entirely by the Salvation Army.

It puys to publish all these papers, it is said, and in_several of them, as New York and London, there is a surplus each year to go toward general army expenses. One reason for this is that thos ho circulate the paper pay for it in and get - nothing for the thus done. “*When a man is saved his heart is on to do something, and then we sy take a bundle of War Crys and bring us back the money for them,” is what the editor said in explanation of this part of the work. “We do not give War Crys for sale to unsaved boys,” was the explanation en for so many small boys, being trusted with copies for sale, and so little loss by default in payment. As showing shrewd business munage- ment no second supply of papers is for- warded to any Salvation army station till the fivst his been paid for. Contrary to general impression no War Crys are given away, and nonovels or short storics are permitted, though the lives of prominent members gre printed in a li attractive style. Among the oddities are that these nu- merous War Crys never exchange or use “block” ding matter, though pictures ave exchanged. Illus- trations, it is found, greatly help the of the papers, though, except in England, they are so far too costly to be frecly used.

At the closing of the polis it was learned that in the o L polling place Lowry had scored 921 and Tracey 143 votes. In the opposition eamp it was do clared that Tracey had obtained 407 against wry's 19 votes. The judges of the latter' s camp declared him duly nominated as demo. cratic candidate from the First ward and took a drink and the judges of the impromptu opposition declared With a_flourish of trum. pets that Laccy was the duly elocted candi date for democratic councilman and dis persed In the Second ward thera was considerabla excitement ainong the friends of the five con testants, towards the close of tho polls.
