to Have Peace.
ELEVEN HOURS A DAY'S WORK
Sixty UiiyV Agreement WltU Prosi
lci:t Phillips Will llo Adhered to
In tlio llopoof Ultimately Securlns
n Itediietion of Another Hour ft Day.
Coin puny V EurniiigH Increasing.
Peace for sixty days between President
Phillips and tho eniplojes otthe Metropoli
tan lie, was Hie result of the all-day
meeting jestcrday of the rrotccthe Street
Hallway Union. Tho men will continue
to work for eleven hours a day for the same
pay Uiey received before, and then wing men
reap a corresponding benefit In regard to
Uieir "reliefs."
It was practically the unanimous opinion
of thrnien that the end they hadlti view, ten
hours work a day could be accomplished
without resorting to a Ktrlke, although a
few hotheads -were "anxious to give
President Phlllipsatasteofttielrruettle.
The hope for the reduction of another
hour in the working day Is by no means
nbandoned,andthcexecutlvecommilteewas
empowered to continue, from ime to time,
negotiations looking to that en J.
The meeting began at on early hour yes
terday and continued Willi late last night.
There was au unusually large attendance
of the members and much enthusiasm was
dUplayed
The men were Informed that Preeldent
Iiwrcncenf the Union had called ertcrday
on.Pxesulent Phillips to deny, withoulquall- i
ficatlon, the censatlonal rciorU that had
been printed, but not in The Times, that the
men proposed to strike.
NO TALK' OP C0EHCI0N.
II r. Lawrence informed the president that
tlie men were auxJoui.to secure a induction
of another hour nud that they were satis
fied tliat, in uje courseof time, the president
wonld accede to tlielr request if peacefully
preferred and therefore that all talk of
coercion was entirely unfounded.
President PhilUiu was lmited to attend
last night 'mseeting, but, in reply, he sent a
letter to the Uuio'il, stating that other en
gagements would preent las atttndance.
He ended by t a ing that he had adopted a
resolution Sii matters of this sort not to
tate,hi3.vjewsierlially and that, therefore,
for fear of being mimnderbtooii or misrepre
sented he would not appear in person.
Anything lie liad to communicate to the
union would be sent iu writing.
It was llcaly concluded by the members
to continue the present arrangement for
sixty da js and the executive committee will
have charge, as heretofore, of all negotla
tlonslietweenthcmen and thecompany.
District Master Workman Simmons was
present itt last" night's meeting and his re
marks were entbustastieallyrrceived by the
members It was expected that Mr. A.
1). Uest. of the executive committee, of Dis
trict Assembly 75, of Brooklyn, who was
one or the active spirits in the recent great
strike in that city, would lie present, but he
was unavoidably called away. He will re
turn here ina few dajs.
-Tne'beneflts to the swing men with the
schedule which went Into effect Wednesday
are that they have nine hours in their first
Teiief and three hours in thtir second relief.
This the men fcay is very ii'ucli bctur than
the old s j stem.
The men were congratulating each
other last, nfght.upon the cuttlngoff of an
hour from their day's work, and it was the
universal expression that it would be an
easy matqr to get a reduction of the other
hour
NO:Oi;F LAINT EXISTS.
Sir. Dent, rcpresenUug the Ninth street
men, stated that since Mr Elliott had been
put back on bis car-nnd the present ar
rangements entered Into there liad been no
cause for complaint and the men w ill rigidly
adhere to the sixty days' truce.
"The Metropolitan Railway Company,"
an emploe said last night, "can very well
afford to give us ten hours a day, like
the Georgetown men arc getting. Since Uie
change in the niotle system the receipts
have picked up at least one-third, averaging
about, $600 a day on the Ninth street line
alone," ns compared with about $30Oa day
when horse cars were used.
"At present we are operating twenty
four ears with an average of about two
aud a hart minutes between them, and each
car ivill earn in a day about S30. Under
the old system twenty-two cars were
operated, three and a half mlnutcx apart,
aud the earnings averaged $10 each.
"When tho F street line becomes an
'jidergrouod trolley, in August next, the
Joint earnings will more than reach the
51,200, -nnich It -was stated -would b
necessary to meet the expenses, dividends,
aud fixed charges of the road, as set forth
in the Metropolitan Company's financial
statement at the. time .of the last bond
issue.
"We can afford to -wait sixty days for
the other hour, unless In the meantime

NOT THEIR HAN'S FAOLT
Metropolitan Officials Blame Belt
Line Driver for the Collision.
Iaidlra Hurt In tho Accldont Declare
They Wero Friuhtened by tho
Driver's ReekleKMiiofl.
After nn Investigation of Uie collision
between the cars of the Metropolitan
and Belt line railway companies at the
corner of Ninth and P streets northwest,
last Tuesday, the Metropolitan road of
ficials have come to the conclusion that they
are In no way responsible for the accident.
They place the blame on Uie driver of the
Belt line on account of his alleged reckless
driving.
Mr. Coleman, assistant secretary and
treasurer of the Metropolitan company,
stated to a Times reporter yesterday that
the passengers of both cars are willing to
testify that the cause which led up to the
accident was the reckless driving of C. M.
Ilammett, the driver of the Belt line car.
It was learned yesterday that tho. car
struck by the. Metropolitan train was the
same one that was run into at Oarflcld
monument, not a half hour preWous, by a
cable car.
The Bell Line officials claim thet the
running board of their car via. kn-nUiloff
by the Metropolitan car at Ninth and P
streets. This was proved, Mr. f rleman
said, to be untrue, for the grlpman on the
cable train stated that this waa done
by his car at Qarficld monument. Mr.
Coleman said they had found several
people who witnessed the collision at
Ninth and P streets northwest and who
said that the driver of the Belt Line car
-was In fault.
Tnoy stated that -when the electric
car was neaclng P street the raotorman
rang the bell several times, and i.n seeing
the driver of the Belt Line car attempt to
cross the track he called to him It is
stated by one of the witnesses that the
driver not ''only failed to heed the"motor
man's warning, but hesitated in the center
of the Ninth street track, and it una at that
Urao the two cars came together.
The Metropolitan car, it is claimed, was
not running at unusual speed, but was going
not more than six miles an hour.
Tho two ladies who were on the Belt Line
car at the time and were injured in the acci
dent, stated, so Mr. Coleman claims, that
when they boarded the car they became
alarmed at the tlrlter's recklessness at rail
way crossings.
No conclusion has yet been reached by
the Belt Line company fixing the responsi
bility for the collision, but it will probably
be heard from to-day.

Fellow.rrisonors Had Laid Plans to
Murder Illm.
San Francisco, Sept. 19. The police
have discovered and frustrated a plot to
assassinate Currant. The plot was con
rocled by a well known criminal wbll
awalllng sentence in tbe county Jail
He expressed bis intention to his fel
low prisoners of killing Durrnnt at the first
opportunity, and the matter .coming to
the ears of the sheriff, an extra precaution
was taken not to allow Durrant to exercise
Willi the other prisoners nnd to drive him
to and from the court either in a buggy
or outside of the prison van.
On search being made of tbe cell, a
broken table knirc whetted to a keen edge
was found therein The prisoner has since
been sentenced to twenty years in the peni
tentiary. Before being taken to the penitentiary he
admitted to the police that it was his in
tention to kill Durrant, but that he had had
no opportunity to use his knife The police
refuse to divulge tbe name of the criminal.

How Two Harlem Toons: Ladlen Got
Their Ice Cream.
Mr Orlowltz is a Harlem druggist.
He is a pretty shrewd business man and
seizes upon every occasion to advertise
and attract trade, says the 'New York
Journal Last Friday was bis birthday
he did not ray which one. On Thursday he
put up the following alluring little notice
in his window:
: Tomorrow lielng the proprl- :
: ctor's birthday, a glass of lea :
: cream soda will be given to :
: every lady customer, what- :
: ever bo tbe purchase :
The pharmacy was crowded all day
Friday with ladies and, Mr Orlowltz was
delighted with his little scheme Saturday
noon two young ladles one n good lok-
ing brunette entered tbe store noncha
lantly and walking up to Mr. Orlowltz
one of them cald-
"I understand you gave ice-cream soda
free to customers yesterday?"
"Tes, we did," was the reply
"New embryo pharmacist in the family?"
. "No sort of birthday opening like."
""Suppose we are too late?"
"Well, yes Ice-cream all gone "
Then the young ladles began to ask
prices of several articles, some of which
wero rather costly.
"Haven't you taved any at all for custo
mers who did not hear of this till to day?"
queried the brunette, as -lie picked up a
pint and a half bottle of perfume and nsked
the price, while her companion's basilisk
eye rested on an elegant manicure set
"Well, I'll see Julius, see If there Isn't
some more ice cream In the refrigerator."
There was. And two glasses were handed
to tbe prospective customers. They sipped
the soda, ale the cream with a spoon very
deliberately and giggled and chatted
gayly, while Mr. Orlowltz stood by ex
pectantly, seemingly cnJoTlng their en
joyment. "That was very good. Indeed," said the
young ladles in cbonis
"Glad you like it," raid Mr. O. "Now,

3IADE A HUMAN HARP.
How the Kins of n MndnKascnr Tribe
Arranged Ills Prisoners.
The most cheerful liar la the world
lives in Madagascar. The latest story that
comes from there tells about Pip, the king
of the Lololles, one of lh: local tribes
which is not busy fighting the Trench,
says nn exchange.
This king, the story goes, deviled some
time ago a human harp. He had been
visiting the place of punishment in but
village and had witnessed the bastinadoing
of his captives, he was struck by the tonal
difference of their groans. At once he,
commissioned the royal carpenter to con
struct a series of stocks in which he
placed eight captives, whose howls of
pain when the soles of their feet were
struck by .the rod were so carefully ar
ranged that they made a perfect octave.
This seemed such a success that he had
a second frame constructed for the feet
of eight more wretches whoso average
groans ranged a full octave higher.
The harp was now complete. On It
be proposed to play melodies and started
In to practice the national air.
His project was to regulate the length,
of the note by the violence of the blow.
At first the scheme did not succeed at all,
'for the reason that tbe captives, hitherto
need to hard bits alone, howled loudly
each time and with little difference in
force. At last be arranged it, however, so
that tbe groans becameproportioned to the
blows.
But the Instrument never got quite In
tune. Incessant was the cry of some of
tbe animated notes, others would not sound
at all at the right time. The heathen
king had to give It up. The discord was
too painful for big musical ear, for al
though he tried" fresh sets of' prisoners
the human note- would never work Just
right.

The determination of the Italian govern
ment to take possession of the Papal States
iml make Rome the capital of nnlted Italy
was communicated to Pope Plus IX. on
September 10, 1870.
POPE PIUS' PROTEST.
The answer was an emphatic protest.
On September 11 Victor Emanuel's troops
rrossed the frontier ot the Papal States.
The resistance of the Papal troops was
by order of the Pope only sufficient to
prove that the territory was not willingly
surrendered. Abbott, the historian, says
"At 6 30 on Tuesday morning, Septem
ber 20, tbe Sardinian troops having ar
rived before the walls ot the city, opened
fire upon the Porta Pla and upon tho
Porta Salavia. At S 30 a breach was
effected at the Porta Pla. and at 9 30
II was carried by storm. At 10 o'clock
two divisions ot Gen. Cardona's army
entired Rome and took potsexsion of the
ity and the struggle ceased."
Victor Emanuel submitted the ques
lou of allegiance to the people of Rome,
and the vote was practically unanimous
for the kingdom against the Tope. The
Clerical party, however, refused to vote,
claimirg that a ballot in the presence of
00,000 soldiers could not give a fair de
temnination of the question. The Church
has never recognized the supremacy of
the Italian State.
The hour for the banquet to-night is
almost exactly the hour ot the entry Into
Rome twenty five years ago.

An excellent bullet proof shield can, it
seems, be manipulated by wearing silk
floss underneath the uniform. A corres
pondent writing from Yokohama says that
tbe Japanese, to keep out the cold, wore a
quantity of this material under their
clothes, with the result tbat In many
cases it acted asa bullet-proof vest. Many
must have remarked and wondered why
It was that, although the fights In Man
churia were said to have been so Severe,
the Japanese losses were Invariably very
few, and those of the Chiress extremely
heavy. Much ot the disparity In the
losses u the two combatants was due to
bad marksmanship on the part ot the
Chinese, but a great part of the immunity
of the Japanese from the bullets of their
antagonists was due to their wearing floss
silk.
