Topics Considered.


CHICAGO, May 1S.-Whether the
Methodist Episcopal board of bishops
shall have the final decision in the ap'
poiItment of the members of the faculty
in the theological schools is question
which received various answers at the
meeting of the committee on education

elect and preferred charges that the pro
fessor's teachings were not in conformity
with the doctrines Of the church, he had
the right of appeal to and of trial by his
annual conference, and the decision OF
the annual conference shall be final. Aft

WASHINGTON, May 1S.--More thar
1000 veteran sailors and marines of the
civil war have filed applications with the
navy department. to have removed the
charges of desertion which now stand
against their names. This action was
taken In anticipation of the bill extend
ing indefinitely the provisions of the act
OF 1883 relative to what are known as
'nnocent descrtions" becoming a law
For ten years Judge Advocate General
Lemly has been seeking to secure this
legislation, and the bill has passed first
one house and then the other, but only
Wednesday succeeded in passing both in
one session. 1t now goes to the presi
dent. No one knows how many veterans
are affected by this act.
At the close of the civil war sailors
and marines numbering many thousands
reported at Philadelphia to be mustered
out. The receiving ships did not afford
accommodations for more than small
fraction of them, and after waiting many
days for the mastering out officer. being
told that they were not wanted, the men
drifted off to their homes throughout the
country and returned to civil life. Tech
nically every ono of these men was a
desertrr, and the act is intended to re-
move that stigma from their names. -
