The proposition to build a bridge across
the Detroit river at Detroit, Mich, was the
subject Of a hearing before the Senate

including Governor Rich, Don NJ Dickfn-

sides the representatives of the railroa i
and navigation interests. The bill author

masts to pass under it. 1t is to be built by
the Michigan Central Bridge Company for
the accommodation of the Vanderbilt rail-

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
Coiored Pastors Ask nm Investigation
of Ch0rU

SoFeu f.NstOrs ASK nm Investigation
of Charges.
several pastors of colored churches in
Washington have signed a statement of
charges against the present admiuistra-
ton of Howard University. These charges
were presented yesterday to the trustees,
who were asked to investigate them They
aiiese unjust discrimination against colored
students. INSCRIPTIONS methods in driving
out OF the university earnest, homes. and
efficient members of the faculty, malvcrsa-
ton of the funds of the institution, race
discrimination, an eXtravagant increase of
the salary Of President Rankin, the build
ing OF an unnecessary chapel and similar
irregularities. The compliments asked
that a committee be appointed by the
trustees to investigate the conduct upon
which the charges are based. This the
trustees declined to do, on the ground that
they would be themselves investigating
themselves as the various proceedings
complained of were sanctioned and author
lied by their own official vote.
The statement is signed by Rev George
w. Lee, w. Bishop johnson, Rev. S. Aiken
Lewis, Rev. f. A. Fisher, Rev. William A
Credit. F. G. Barbados, Rev. ]. A. Tay-
Tor, Rev. Eugene A. Johnson, Rev. Walter
Z. Seaton.
DR.. Rankin, when asked if there was any
ground for the charges, said there was not
There had been, he said, discriminate ton
treatment Of any student. He alluded to
the removal Of Frof. Gregory for getting
in debt TO students and teachers in wav
to greatly impair his usefulness as a
teacher, aud said that certain white teach
ers had also been asked to resign because
of their ineiiic.ency. AS to his own salary
DR.. Rankin says 1t has not been Increased
since he came to the institution. 1t is
$4,000 with house rent. The trustees sold
some unproductive lots on the Eastern
branch and built the presidents house, in
order to do away with the question Of rent
allowance. AS to the misuse of funds, DR..
Rankin was at a loss to understand what
was meant by the compliments. All the
accounts of the institution are on record
with the Secretary of the Interior and at
the Treasury Department He thinks the
charges are malicious.
One of the colored men who Joined in the
charges says that the colored pastors do
not indorse the charges. but simply ask for
an investigation. The charges embody
statements made just after Prof. Gregorys
removal, and are supposed to emanate from
his friends. The friends of the university
declare that every transaction connected
with the administration of the institution
is where the public can know precisely
what it is, and that an investigation, If
one were possible. would only show the
petty and malicious character of the
charges.

CANNOT RECOVER,
A Suit Which Dealt With Gambling on
Margins.

Margins.
Judge Bradley had before him yesterday
afternoon a case in which the question of
whether the dealing in futures Is gambling
or not arose. The plaintiff was H. C. Smith
and the defendant w. A. Milliken. The
plaintiff claimed that last summer the de-
PENDANT requested him to purchase for him
100 shares Of Chicago Gas stock upon a
margin of 1 per cent. The plaintiff stated
that he placed the order with Messrs. Hold
gen & Co., giving them his check for the
purchase and receiving the defendants
check. 1t was stated that the stock broke
and the margin put up was soon wiped out
Then, the plaintiff alleged, the defendant
stopped payment on his check, whereupon
Mr.. Smith sued Mr.. Milliken for the amount
OF the check. The latter's counsel claimed
that the transaction was q gambling
scheme and that the plaintiff could not
therefore, recover, as 1t would be against
public policy. Judge Bradley told the jury
that if they believed no actual delivery Of
the stock was made or intended, as claimed
by the defendants counsel, or that Mr.. Mil
liken gave the check under misapprehen-
Sion, then he should not be held respon-
sible. After celebrating short time a YER
dict was rendered by the jury In favor of
the defendant.

HAVANA, Cuba, January 29.-The news
OF the laundering of the steamer Haw-

from the United States, caused a great
connection in both Spanish and Cuban
circles in Havana. A large proportion of
the men on the steamer were well known
here. AS was natural, the intelligence was
received with delight at the governors
palace. The Diario de la Marina says, edi-
torially, that the loss of the vessel is prac

Gen. Gomez, l understand, built great
hopes upon the expedition. as it was to
supply him with enough ammunition to
carry on his warfare many months.
