n smooth Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The Navy de-
partment has administered a mild and sug-
gestive censure to two officers of the navy,
whose names are withheld owing to the
unpleasant circumstances of the case and
the feeling that no international wrong was
committed. Upon the occasion of their re-
cent return from Nagasaki Japan, to
Seattle, Wash, the two officers bought tick,
cts on a merchant ship at the reduced rate
usually allowed naval officers. which in this
case was f25. The regular rate was f31, and
the officers made claim TO the department
for this latter amount.
The matter having been brought to the
attention OF the department, the officers
have been informed that they should have
been aware that legally they could not be
reimbursed for any larger sum than that
actually expended by them; but, inasmuch
as it did not appear that there was any
intention on their part to defraud, no fur
ther action in the matter was considered
necessary. One of the officers has signifed
his readiness to return the overpayment,
and the other had not yet received the
extra.

AGAINST UNION MEN.

The Master Tailors' Exchange met last
evening and voted not to employ any OF
the striking journeymen again, except as
non-union men. This is not calculated
to enliven the spirits of the workmen,
who are sewing tailors, by the way, there
being no cutters among them, for the
merchants have arranged to get their
work~uone In good shape and within
reasonable time. When the men went
out some of them returned work on hand

completed their garments, will do SO be.

'What can we do?' ne replied.
why did you choose a time like this
to strike, when money Is scarce?"
''Well. you take $50 men, and IL 145

five?"
Ii was reported that the strikers will
hold an indignation meeting and call
public mass meeting, but Mr.. Gleason
says that matter has not been discussed
in meeting yet.

Franklin Society.

At the regular meeting of the Franklin
Society last evening at their rooms, 54
North Main otreet, the President, Scott A,
Smith, presiding, a lecture was given by
versity on "The Bacteria and their rela-
tion to Disease"
Mr.. Gorham first referred to the Delft
philosopher, Antony Leuwenboek, who
about 1876 effected improvements in the
microscope and made many discoveries
of fmicro-organisms, but after certain
period interest in these discoveries di-
minished until revival of interest In
1775. Then after that followed a period
In which little progress was maoe partly
owing to the contest between the advo-
Gates of spontaneous generation of bac-
terial life and the opponents of this
theory, the latter finally triumphing,
mainly through the efforts OF Pasteur.
MIR. Gorham hid that IL was only since
about the year 1863 that the modern
knowledge OF bacteria and "germsn
really commenced.
The growth of colonies and unlimited
multitudes OF bacteria from single cell
was explained, and the fact that while
they may be destroyed by heat (of
sufficient height and duration) yet neither
cold nor lack of nutrition takes away
their life.
He carefully and clearly detailed the
history of disease germs so far as at pres
ent known, ana the manner OF procur-
ing, and the nature OF, the anti-toxines
used as remedies. In the case of diph-
liberia, the disease was now quite under
control, as compared With its former
fatal character.
The lecturer added that much bacterial
life is now known TO be beneficial, par
ticularly az relates to their creation OF
nitfogenous products for vegetation, and
II Is thought that In digestion of food
we may be aided by bacterial agency.
The lecture was characterhe1 by clear
ness in statements. a pleasing manner and
logical conclusions Fol owing the lecture

JOurneymen PIumberSMay
Strike on May |.
Demand Reduction of Hours
Without Loss of Pay.
Master Plumbers Say They Cannot
Accede to the Demand.

Following in the wake OF the tailors'
founded rumor that the ioarneymen
plumbers who belong to the union will
go on strike May 1, unless the master
plumbers agree 10 grant their demand for
an eight-hour working day at the same
wages now received, which is 80 and 50. so
per day. This matter has been ION the
tapis for three months and is now in the
hands of the conference committee which
comprises three men from the Master
Plum bers' Association and three from the
JourDeymen Plumbers Association. This
committee was formed to adjust differ
ences of whatever nature, SO far as pos
sible, and prevent strikes il that could
be done. They will meet tonight for
other purposes, but it is understood that
the master lumbers' representatives will
bring up the rumored strike question in
order to prepare themselves for the emerg-
ency, II 1t is to come off. There are over
60 shops in Providence and $50 journey
men, although not all are in the associa-
tions. A strike, however, would call
out 100 or more men.
One Of the leading master plumbers
said today that they are willing to give
the men an eight-hour day, but they do
not propose to pay at the rate of nine
hours. They give out as their reasons
the statement that IL a man receives S3
for nine hours, or 33 1-3 cents an hour,
and they let him out for 45 or so cents an
hour they really. make nothing on him,
because he may have anywhere from one
to three hours q day when there Is no
work for him. Furthermore, the people,
as trade is today, will not stand it to be
assessed any more than they are now
charged, In order to let the journeymen
have a shorter working day.
Thes master plumber referred 20 con-
siders the men foolish to agitate strike
now, but he recalls the fact that when
the first journeymen's union was formed
Is years ago for mutual benefit a man got
up at the first meeting and asked, "When
are we going to striker"
