WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 25.-
Mingo Sanders. the old First Sergeant
of one of the companies of the TWEEN
,ty:fifth Infantry. dismissed without
honor, was at the War Department
yesterday. and resisted the effort of
Judge Advocate General Davis to have
him make affidavit that he was not
concerned in the shooting up Of
Brownsville and knows nothing about
It either of his own knowledge or from
hearsay. Had he made that afidayit.
he would have been enlisted and all
the rights and honors OF which he was
deprived would have been restored.
Acting Under orders issued yester-
day to recruit the depleted companies
of the Twenty.fifth. the officers appa.
rently have begun a campaign to get
the dismissed men to make affidavit
and be thus restored TO the army.
Senator Foraker came to the con.

1t seems hard for people to agree
on all points, even when their own In.
terests are at stake. The following
item from the Charleston News shows
that the telegraphers' eight hour law
IS being opposed by many t~elegraphers
themselves. That being the case. the
bill may never become a law. The
News says:
The feature Of the session in the
house of delegates yesterday was the
discussion Of Mr. Mccrum's bill lin.
iting the hours of employment OF
railroad telegraph and telephone op.
orators. Many interesting points
were drawn out. 1t has developed
that many of the telegraphers are
opposed to the bill because 1t means
to them a reduction in wages. In
Maryland the salaries Of the opera
tors were reduced about ten per cent
after the eight hour law went into
effect and many Of the operators oil
this State believe It would have the
same results here. The operators OF
West Virginia have proved them
selves very efficient as there have been
no disastrous collisions in this State
