CHARGES AGAINST LYMAN.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE order for
a court martial in the case of Lieutenant
Charles E. Lyman of the Kearsarge, is
based upon two charges. The first is
neglect of duty, and the Specifications are
that the lieutenant failed to personally
take an observation of longitude on the
day of the wreck and that he neglected to
obtain the local deviation of the compass
of the vessel on the first and second days of
February last. The second charge
is for culpable inefiiciency in
the performance of duty, and the
specification is that Lyman, as navigator,
knowing that at sunset the vessel had
nearly run her estimated distance from
the o'clock p. N. meridian position plat
ted by him, TO the position OF Roncador
bank, and knowing the difficulty of sight
ing the bank from a safe distance after
darkness, under existing conditions, failed
TO advise his commanding officer as it was
clearly his duty 10 DO, 20 lay safe course
10 the northward before continuing on a
westerly course, in consequence of which
the kearsarge WAS run on the bank.

OMAHA, March 29-The employees of the
Union Pacific this afternoon filed their
answer in the United States court, moving
to vacate and set aside the orders OF Judge
Dundy for good and sufficient reasons. In
referring to the petition Of receiver asking
Tor the abrogation of the rules and con-
tracts, the employees state that the rules
and regulations referred TO generally at
tecting employees reported by petitioners is
not a question of dollars and cents, but one
of the right of relationship and good gov
eminent.
The statements made by the receivers
with relation to wages schedule, etc, are
denied. The document is very bulky one
and is signed by chairmen, engineers, ire
men, conductors. telegraphers. trainmeD,
switchmen and Knights of Labor and their
attorneys They deny any intention OF
striking.
This afternoon the telegraphers reached
a full agreement with the receivers and
ended the long session with Receiver
Clark, General Manager Dickinson and
Superintendent Korty, having settled the
wage question to the satisfaction OF all
concerned.
The rules and regulations governing
wages and employment had been settled
yesterday, and today's work was over the
general schedule. The agreement and
contract will go to the court for confirma-
tion tomorrow. That is all that remains.
There is no appeal to the court by the tel
egraphers or by the receivers in the affair
of the telegraphers.
Until the agreement is filed in court
nothing can be ascertained as to the de-
tails of it, but it is reasonable to suppose
that in view of the fact that the company
conceded all the men asked in the way of
rules and over time pay for extra calls,
that the men have made some concessions
in the matter of wages. In fact. early in
the conference, when they were going
over the matter station by station with
Mr. Korty, the men made several concess-
ions in the matter of salary at specific
points. IL is likely, however. that the
concessions made in the matter of wages
are more in the line of correcting inequali-
ties and reductions where conditions have
changed since the salaries were first fixed
upon in the present schedule.

Idly in number, and in .

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Judge Knapp
of the interstate commerce commission
was before the senate committee on inter
state commerce today and made a state
ment bearing upon the bill for the regula-
tion of railroad pooling. He said in most
respects the bill was II good one, but he
thought there should be an amendment
authorizing the commission to fix rates in
the first instance. He advanced the idea
that railroads could afford to move freight
al ain average charge OF 50 cents per mile
for the car. Attorney Cowen of the Balti-
more and Ohio, and Attorney Bond OF the
Richmond and Danyille, were present and
took exception to this statement, saying
the estimate must be for running eX-
penses only, aud that it did not take into
account the original investment, tue in
terest account, the vexatious delays which
often occur. nor tho fact that many cars
are often idle.
Mr.. Knapp admitted he had estimated
for running expenses only.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR CARS.

CHICAGO, March 27.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railway tested today
a new devices for the electric lighting Of
railway cars. The machine, which is the
Invention of William Bi4die of Brooklyn,
WAS attached To private car bearing a
party of railroad men and capitalists, and
which ran to Milwaukee and back wit tn
results that were satisfactory to the pro-
motors of the system. The machine is to
be placed on every car. 1t is driven from
one of the aIles and geared direct from the
axle at ratio of 3 TO l. The dynamite is
of one-horse power, and is bound
10 give current of IS volts and
40 amperes. One of the features
of the invention is an electrical-changing
switch which automatically changes ia the
direction the car is reversed, so that in the
backward movement of the train, the light
remains steady.
The machine is automatic throughout
and the electricity is not generated when
the car is moving at a rate less than
twenty mites an hour. \ system of storage
battery provides for a steady continuation
Of the light during stops of the train, and
viii run the lamps for five hours after
the car has stopped. The lamps during
today's test gave a steady, brilliant light
that did not vary in intensity during tue
switching and st0ppsge of the train. The
device is controlled 10y the American Rail
way Electric Light company.
