A BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
Georgia Central EMPLOYEES still Refuse to
Sign the Obnoxious Circular.

AUGUSTA, GA, June G.-Thc trouble
between the Georgia Central Railroad
authorities and employees remains unset
tied. Not a single engineer, fireman,
conductor or trainman has yet signed
the obnoxious circular.
The ten days given to the employees to
sign the circular and return it To head
quarters will expire Saturday, and the
management has given notice that the
order will be strictly enforced, and those
who do not answer it as required must
leave the service.
General Manager Gabbett says he pro-
poses to perform his duty aud not dele
gate his authority to the engineers, con-
ductorS or any other of the employees of
the road. If the employees are not will
ing to answer the questions they can
leave the service and will never be en-
ployed on the Central so long rs he Is
its general manager.
Chief Arthur, of the Locomotive En-
gineers. says if Manager Gabbett dis
charges one man for refusing To answer
the questions the entire system will
strike, and he does not believe ii posSl-
| bic for the road to secure a sufficient
number Of men to handle its business.
.'Such strike" said he, ''would pro-
ducc strike involving every railroad
system in this section. The Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers would
refuse to handle the Central cars on any
road.
Chief Arthur and General Manager
| Gabbctt will hold Il conference and il
is hoped that the trouble will be sat'S'
factorily adjusted. The ircmen, con
ductorS and trainmen will be governed
by the action of the engineers.

EDUCATION THE KEYNOTE.
The Doings of the Negro Conference at
Lake Mohawk.

LAKE MomoNK, y. V. June G.-At
the opening Of the morning session OF
the Lake Mohonk Negro Conference,
| President Gatew. Chairman OF the En-
ecutivc Committee. presented Il series
of resolutions cmbodying the results
reached after the various discussions of
the conference. The resolutions urge
education as the keynote of the Stua-
tion-cducatiOn normal and industrial,
uplifting the home and family and
developing true manhood and woman
hood.
Judge Torgec made the opening
speech of the session on "The Negroe'
| View of the Race Question" taking oc-
casion to present series of resolutions
much more radical than those of the
committee. He was followed by Hon.
Andrew ID. White, who said he believed
in peaceful solution of the race prob
lem. and incidentally regretted the de-
| feat of the Blair bill. Hon. John
Glenn, of Baltimore. said the sessions
of this conference convinced him that
if the Northern and Southern men
would confer as they had here, there
would be no difficulty in reaching a
peaceablc and wise solution Of the
threatened troubles.
Gen. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, spoke ON
| the question from the standpoint OF the
white men of the South.
Other speakers were Gen. o. o. How
ard. of New York, and Mrs. Edna IL.
Dean Cheney, of Boston.
Bishop Andrews, of New York, closed
the morning session with an encoura-
ging report of the work OF the Metho-
dist Church in the South.
At the closing session OF the negro
convention tonight the resolutions re-
portcd- by the Executive Committee this
morning was acted upon separately.
They resolved that carefully gathered
statistics bear witness TO the value and
the reliability of negro labor,
! skilled and unSkillcd. No other
race ever made such an industrial
progress in - years. Trained FOR gen
erations to forced labor, the negro Is
steadily acquiring that intelligent set
front which changes the inherited habit
of compulsory toll into the manly
achievement of voluntary industry. a
most encouraging NUMBER ol thc h'-
groe> as a race entirely landlesS - years
ago. are now land owners. Also
that they believe that the negro will
remain for the most part where he Is
and as a citizen of the United States.
The resolutions also recommended edu-
cation. and that only in the house OF
the colored people will the colorcd
problem be- solved, and the women Of
/ the negro race must determine his
character. The one room cabin Is
called the social curse OF the negro race.
Further it says: In the name Of
$50 years Of unrequited labor from
which all sections Of our land made
profit the people of the |. ;. should
/ holi it a sacred duty to educate the
seven millions Of negroes. who II unedu-
Gated must be a source OF the greatest
danger to the whole nation. In a
thoroughly Christian education IS our
hore for this race as for all other races.
Another convention will be held next

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Appropriations for State Rivers-The
Federal Election Law.

Special telegram 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 6.-The Senate
Commerce Committee to-day, at the in
stance of Senators Kenna and Faulkner
agreed TO amend the River and Harbor
bill. so as 10 make Immediately available
the sl7 900 appropriated some years ago for
the improvement of the Shenandoah river
and never expended The committee are
satisfied that the proposed Improvement is
feasible, and will no doubt appropriate 10
to continue, but the amount now on hand is
considered sufficient 20 begin.
Senator kenna obtained an increase OF
the appropriation for the Great Kanawha
of Sl40,0 making the total in the present
bill S340, 900 up TO 1850.
Parties who had claims for property
taken during the war could present them
TO the War Department and on satisfac-
tory proof obtain payment. That act eX-
pired by limitation and Senator Faulkner
has introduced bill TO revive and extend
il 10 January |, 1895, after which all such
claims not then presented will be forever
barred This is of great Importance 10
West Virginia. where there are so many
claims of this character, as il will save the
trouble of going TO Congress and the Court
of Claims.
1t now develops that the House Republi-
can caucus last night postponed consldera-
tiOn of the Federal election law until next
Tuesday, because of grave doubt as to the
Senate's course. Reed stated that he had
learned that compact existed between
Stewart Teller, Jones and other free sill
yer Republicans with Southern Democrats
10 the effect that if the latter would sup
port free silver the Western Republican
Senators would oppose Federal election
law. Reed himself, advised postpOnement
saying no election law should be
passed without the support of all
Republican Senators. II was postponed
until Tuesday and Reed and Rowell were
authorized to confer with Republican Sena-
tors, and urge them TO support an election
law as the only means of carrying the
next House for the Republicans. Reed
made an effort to-day TO persuade the
Western silver Senators that the Republi-
can party's fate depended on the passage
of an election law, but was met with the
reply that free silver was paramount in
the West

LOCKED THE DOORS,
BUT JUDGE SMITH DECIDES THAT THEY MUST
BE KEPT OPEN.
The Evangelical Trouble at Naperyille Settled-Do-
ings Of the Lake Mohawk Negro Confer
enee-The Presbytsrians al New
York.

Chicago, June 6.-.Iudge Smith, at
Ottawa. H.. has rendered decision on
the Evangelical Church dispute grow
| ing out OF the trouble at Naperville,
when the trustees locked the church
against the anti-ESher ministers. In it
he finds that legal steps in accordance
with the church discipline had resulted
in Bishop EsherS suspension. In view
of this, the Judge thinks Esher had no
right TO preside over the Illinois Con-
ference, and that body acted in strict
conformity to the discipline in appoint
ing presiding officer, and if their pro-
ceedingS therein were regular
all were bound by its acts,
and II the ministers sent
ont with the seal of conference attach
ed to their certificates were the appoint
ed ministers sent To their respective
districts, he don't see any reason
able cause to doubt their authority.
But suppose the action Of the Illinois
conference Vas improper, did the fact
that he, Eshcr, went off and set up Il
conference somewhere else make it a
legal conference? If he could take
twenty members and go off and set up Il
conference with any kind of Il minority
1t wouldn't make any difference how
many there were. Can it be possible
that a minority can set up conference
to transact business without any major
ity? | don't think a man would make
any such claims. If he could do it with
twenty or thirty, he could do it with five
or ten. If the minority rules. it could
rule Just as well with three. The whole
theory of government is that the ma
jority must rule in church, and states
the majority must rule.
Coming down to the Napervillc trouble
Judge Smith says: "While it is true
that under the statute of the State the
trustees have the control Of the church
so look after its property for the benefit
of the congregation they have only
such control aS the law gives. and
have no right to shut up the church on
account of the mere fact that they have
charge of the church property; IL does
not give them any right to lock mp the
church. whether majority or minority.
They had no right to exclude the min
lSter from performing his duties, which
was to 20 there and minister to the peo-
pie. and when they do that they violate
the law of the church The Injunction
is against the trustees.
