FROM GALVESTON.
Unpleasant for strikers---Exposition
Notes

GALVESTON, October 27.-This
morning Captain Sawyer, agent of
Mallory Line Steamship company,
finally announced the intention of re-
tanning colored labor at the wharf, at
least for the present, aud until the
very unlikely time when 1t is demon
stratcd that that class of men are un-
able to meet the requirements o. the
work. This finally ends the history
of the strike, beginning on the 18th
inst, by the demand of the white la
borers for so ccnts:san hour, aud on
re usal, the consequent suspension of
labor. Colored labor was at once
substituted. The strikers then offered
acceptance of old rates, which was
refused. A proposition to divide
the work was then made by the strik-
ers with the Knights of Labor as in
termediators 10 the colorcd men who
accepted it, but relegated the matter
to Captain Sawyer. lie in turn re-
ferred it to the Mallorys at New
York, aud now the answer
comes that the black element
remains. This decision throws
| 100 men out Of steady employment,
aud ii is broadly limited that the end
has not yet come.
Alderman Sherwood, chairman OF
the exposition committee, and Pro-
lessor Girardeau, commissioner for
this city, to-day appointed the sub
committees to act In cooperation
with the general committee of citi'
zens aud councilmcu in furtherencc OF

WASHINGTON, October 27.-The

by all the members except the post

The session was devoted principally
TO the consideration of questions arts
ing under the establishment of a
boundary line between the United
States aud Mexico, aud resulted in the
formulation of series ofinssructions
to officers engaged in that service Oh
behalf of this government. The ques
ton of allowing publication by tbs
press ofthe annual reports of the bu
rear officers in advance of their being
submitted TO congress, was also con
sidered, and it was decided to leav,
the matter entirely TO the discretion
