duties' MI. Towers being accorded 1fteen days
leave OF absence to expire on the date

the nrst made at the city post-office indicating

MI: ROSS expressed TO Mr.. Towers regret at the
necessity imposed upon him of making changes.
some days ago he asked MI. Towers what his poll

Iepuoncan. others In the office have been asked
similar questions. Mr.. Ross spoke well OF Mr..
IOWers eihoiency, and the two part Official
company Win pleasant regard for each other.
MI. ROSS said 10 STAR reporter to-day that the

ARMY PROMOTIONS.
The Changes Which Will Follow Gen.
Terry's Retirement.
THE RACE FOR THE MAJOR GENERAIsHIP-GEN.
CROOK THOUGHT TO BE IN THE LEAD.

The officers OF the United States Army are busy
speculating as to the changes that will be entailed
Dy the retirement OF Gen. Terry, which was an
nounced In yesterdays STAR. The all-important
place, OF course, is the vacant major generalship
There are at present the following brigadiers, all
OF whom have longing eyes on the plum: Crook,
Miles, Stanley, Gibbon, Ruger. and Merritt, named
In their order OF appointment. The race, however,
seems to have centered down to Miles and Crook,
both OF whom have most excellent rec
ords. Onicers are generally OF the opinion
that Gen. Crook will receive the appointment.
The policy that has always been followed in regu-
lar Army promotions differs materially from that
OF The Navy. In the Army care Is usually taken
that the promoted officers are not near retirement
while the reverse is the case In the Navy, where 1t
is almost universally the rule that the nearer
tlrenent an officer Is the surer he Is OF promotion.
Thus ft Is by no means certain that the oldest
Army officer is promoted, and many are the sur
pr1SeS that occur.
In view OF the fact the last promotions from
colonels to brigadiers were made from the
vice, IL Is generally thought that the coming man
VIII be selected from the infantry colonies. OF
these the four leaders are ChaS Ii. Smith, 18th
Infantry; Geo. l.. Andrews 25th infantry; August
V. kautZ, Sth infantry, and Frank Wheaton, "a
Infantry Any one OF these officers Is likely to be
lected, although many are OF the opinion that
Col Edw. Hatch, 9th cavalry, stands a very fair
the promotions around among all OF the arms OF
the service.
Gen. sheridan Is at present performing Gen.
TerryS duties as commander OF the division OF the
Missouri. The appointments are expected TO be
made within a few days.

AGAINST SUNDAY TRAINS.
Hearing BEFORE the Senate Committed
ON Education and Labor.

The senate committee on education and labor
this morning gave hearing In the reception room
OF the Senate to several clergymen and others rep
resenting the movement to procure legislation for
the abolition OF all Sunday trains on railroads, OF
all Sunday mails, and of all work In connection
with the mails. There were twenty or thirty
ladies present.
Rev. wilbur F. Crafts, who has written several
books on the subject, was the f1rst speaker. He
spoke Of the request for such legislation as 'de
mand and declared that it is the duty OF the Gov
ernment to take the initial step this reform that
THE RAILWAY AND POSTAL ENPLoYEs ARE OVER
WORKED,
and their health and lives sacrificed; that they
are entitled to Sunday as day OF rest, and II the
Government would legtslate against running sun
day mail trains the states would follow, and carry
out the reform. He wants the 1nterstate-com-
merce law amended so as to prevent Sunday
trains.
Rev. T. A. Fernley, Of the Philadelphia Sabbath
Association; Rev. G. p. Nice, OF the Maryland Sab
bath Associations; Rev. Yates Hickey, secretary OF
the International sabbath Association, and Rev.
Mr. Elliott pastor OF Foundry NJ. E. church of this
city, followed In addresses OF the same tenor Mr..
Crafts several times referred to Toronto as being
the model moral city Of the universe; that no
pos-offce work is done there on Sunday, no trains
are rum &C.
senator Payne remarked that 1t is not so ex-
tremely lovely in moral way in Toronto as
might be supposed.
1--WE BEEN THERE MYSELF"
he added, and this provoked laugh.
Senator Payne remarked that the stoppage OF
Sunday trains and postaLcars would check but a
small proportion OF Sunday labor; that the street
cars run and people use them TO go to and from
church, and that In many respects some labor on
sunday Is necessary.
Mr.. Crafts referred to London as city that had
abolished Sunday deliveries OF mails and curtailed
work On that day IN the pOst-Office.
LONDON.
Sand haven't you heard" asked Senator Payne
"that in London Sunday Is almost entirely ignored
and that Its criminal records worse than those
OF any OF our cties?"
"That is because OF the universal use OF intoxi
cants," replied Mr.. Crafts.
Mr.. Elliott felt grateful that the moral sense Of
the people OF this country Is awakening to the I'm
pOrtance OF a due regard for the Sabbath. He
could see in the cOuntenances OF some OF the mem
DerS OF the committee that they had Puritan
blood in their veins, and that augured well for the
interest OF moral legislation.
