their tour of duty here will end, but all
are hopeful that It will be soon. It can?
not be too soon for many of them, who
have left their business interests ot home
and wish to get bock tn them. At head
Ounrters last nlpht when 1t was nsked
how much longer tho troops would be
here the answer was:
"1 do not know. An. long a* necesary,
I presume."
Despite this non-cnmmlttnl reply, how?
ever, there If a general feeling nmong the
men tint they will get away Ibis week.
If conditions continue Improving n" they
nro now doing it Is generally admitted
that the soldiers will go home this week,
though thero Is no positive assurance of
tills. A few muttering.? and prophecies
?re still heard, such ns "Walt until the
military go," and "If the soldiers co nny
time soon, they wlli'hna'o to como h.idt
In ? week," but these are generally re?
garded :is Irresponsible nnd meaningless.
The penerai feeling Is that wholher the
strike Is over or not lawlessness Is, nnd
th.it the strike mny go on so long ns the

not hindered In going to and fro ns they

STRIKERS WILLING
Ready to Agree to the Plan Proposed
by the Ministers.
In a communication received ycstor
flny by tho rtcv. W. A. Cooper, secretary
of the recent conference of pastors of
Richmond, held with a view to bringing
about a satisfactory settlement of the
street car strlko If possible, thero is
contained the Information tlint the strik?
ers aro willing to act upon tho sugges?
tion majlo. accept arbitration upon tho
"?**n?tt'or tbo status of tho former con?
tract with the company and return to
work if it is decided that the agreement
was understood to hold for a full year.
The notion by tbe pastors. It will bo
recalled, was taken several days ago,
and the delay of tho strikers In reply?
ing to the paper laid beforo them led to
tbo belief that tl?ey would not consider
It. It appears from tbo document of !
yesterday, however, that thoy aro pre?
pared to adopt the propositions made to
them, arrd It appears fur*.lier, from other
sources, that they now doslro that the
pastors take the matter before' tho com?
pany and endeavor to secure favorable
consideration from that side. Whether
or not tho pastors will agree to do this,
however, Ih a question. Or. W. 11. I?.
Smith, chairman of the conference,
could not bo reached yesterday after?
noon, but It Is more than likely that a
meeting will bo called for tho considera?
tion of the answer.
Won't Accept It.
There Is reason to bellevo that tho
Passenger nujl -power Company will not
seo Its wa?,'.. eli-ii* to' accept tbe sugges?
tions of the pastors If they nro laid be?
fore It. While It would receive Indi?
vidual applications from the men
snd consider them ns It would nny
other applications, it is not believed
that It \ will agree Io the return
of the strikers us ? body. Certainly
some, of those most prominent in bring?
ing about the present strike will not bo
received back. Furthermore, such of the
men ns are. already nt work riR wish to
Ftay will bo retained, nnd ns there are a
great many of them, it is obvious that
there would not be room for all (he for?
mer employes, even if they would agree
to lay down ihelr arms and come back.
And not only this. The proposition of
tho ministers of "Richmond opens before
the company the pir?spert of arbitration
nest fall. Kven if the board Hliould de?
ride that the men should have remained
under the old contract at least a full
year, and that they should declare the
FtrlkB off, the proposition Involves the
Mea of r. new arbitratoli at the end of
a twelve months. It is understood tint
?< or two of the preachers havo seen
Mais of tho company personally, and
? been informed that no such sug
*>n as this could meet with favor

IN THE WEST END
All Quiet and Peaceful Along the Main
Street Line.
Seventeenth Street nnd Venable Street
formed the principal scene of operations
with tho military last night. Linos of
pickets wero formed along Seventeenth
Street from Main to Ilio foot of Chelsea
lllll nnd tho Chesapeake nnd Ohio shops.
Those troops wero under tho com?
mand of First Lieutenant Ston<- and
Second Lieutenant Norvoll, ??f Company
V. Seventieth Regiment, and embraced
flfty-flve men.
At tho Chesapeake nnd Ohio shops tho
militia were reinforced by the Howitzers,
under command of Captain Myers. The
side streets wero patrolled by detach?
ments of the Blues, centered nt Seven?
teenth and Venablo Streets, and extend?
ing out Venablo to Oakwood.
Both companies of tho Blues were ln
the detail, under command of Major
Cheat wood.
Close watch was kept on tho situa?
tion, and every point of vantage that
could bo Calseli possession of by the
"enemy" was kept In touch with by the
troops. Open fields, hillsides and hidden
points, covered with weeds nnd under?
brush, were patrolled, ' and had nn out?
law been discovered In such ambush it
would have gone bad with him.
Captain Slilnberger had some of his
best men on Seventeenth and Venablo
Streets, one at each corner, nnd at fre?
quent intervals the captain himself -went
the rounds.
Asido from' the crowds of people, on
their porches and others "walking along
tlio streets, nothing of an interesting
nature occurred.
MEN WITH PISTOLS.
Early In the evening, just before dark,
two soldiers reported to tho police that
two young white! men were seen on ono
of tho hills adjacent to Seventeenth
Street, to the oust, displaying pistols.
Captain Shlnberger expressed surprise
that tho soldiers did not arrest tho two
young men. but they explained that they
did nut understand that their orders car?
ried such powers. The police were Im?
mediately instructed to search the neigh?
borhood for the two young men, descrip?
tions of whom woro given them by the
soldiers who saw them.
Early in tho evening Major Howard es?
tablished his headquarters at tho First
Police Station, leaving Captain Tomllnson
In charge nt headquarters, with Privato
Secretary George Pollock on hand for
emergency service, Detective Sergeants
Hall, Gibson and Wren wero on special
duty, as they have been all during the
su Ike, and have dono good sor vico in
maintaining order and dignity.
On Seventeenth Street but one car rnn,
on a half-hour schedule, and upon eaclt
trip a number of passcngors were carried,
but there was no disorder.
At the Chesapeake and Ohio shops nil
was busy and tho machinery was In
operation. Tho men nt work paid little
attention to Ilio unusual scene of soldiers
armed for war Just outside tbe big win?
dows. Except nn occasional glance out
nt the silent soldier as be passed on his
measured tread, with nyiaselcsN watch
upi.ilio dark corners where might lurk
an enemy to law mid order, tho workmen
pursued th? even tenor of their way. And
as tbe earlier hours passed Into later one?
the people In front of their homes went
111 and to bed, and long before the lone
Seventeenth Street car had made Its last
trip Ihe streets were deserted save for
tin- steady tread Of the soldier boys,
Tho prophecy that had been made that
when the Seventeenth Street branch was
(pened up there would ho trouble was
from no true prophet, for had ?hero been
evil-minded ones who would have created
disorder. 1 hey had disappeared and sought
new fields, or else had found their
occupation pone.
SHOOTING ON VENAULK STREET.
(hi Venable Slreel shortly after 10
o'clock there was some excltemonl at ihn
corner of Jessamine Street. ? rock was
thrown nt a car from the darkness, In
return a volley was gi-.-en from tho sol?
diers on duly at that corner. Ko far as
heard lin une w.is lilt, bur fiftor that
everything wan quiet in that section.
? short while earlier III tho night a
brick was thrown on Eighteenth and Ven?
ablo Streets at a picket. ? hot reply was
given, but as In tho other case, no ono
was known to have been -.truck.
These two occurrences wen? the only
things thai marred a peaceful night on
Venablo Street, with tho ears running on
almost schedule time.
Traffic was noi heavy, but lhern wore
a number of passengers on the ears.
Shortly after midnight tlio pickets were
withdrawn, but details v.ero knp| at (lie
Oakwood barns and other points of possi?
ble danger,
STRIKE INCIDENTS
Even the Ciiildren Havo Imbibed the
Military Spirit,
One of tho amusing incidents of the
Strike and a result of the presence of Ilio
troops hern Is ?? revival pf tb? inllltnry
spirit, which has luken held even of the
? lilldren, At U a corner of Seventh and
? caiiklln Streets in a vacant lot yester?.
day eight or ton youngster In knicker?
bockers bad iiu..Md ?? Lut ?uni wore B0|.
en nly walking guard duty around- the
lini, airiiiii WKii wooden guns, One of
ti a Juvenile soldlcru liad ??< real gun. ?n
air ? 111 ? and was noticeably proud pf \$9
ili:-tiiiction G..,,?1? |ad lud had home ,?,,?
SSW a Rtrlpe down the outi-r ih.-?iti of his
trousert, and this was ?ultlcleut uniform
for the soldlors of tho next generation.
A few nights ago a reporter overtook nn
urchin of live years old patrolling Eight?
eenth Street side by side w'th two still
wnrt soldiers. The Interest of tho little?
ono had attracted tho attention of the
guards, nnd they were brightening their
tidlons patrol by teaching the young sol?
diers how to about fare nnd how to carry
Ills slick gun. the child manifesting ? live?
ly interest, and keeping up untiringly his
march back and forth. It was rather
touching than amusing.
Among the men who have romo here In
work aro two from Charleston, K. Ci who
wero recognized yesterday by u gentleman
recently In that city. Tim pay offered
them Is better here, nnd they gave up
legnini? positions there to como hero.
Others are flocking In from various eitles,
some from Norfolk nnd many from Bal?
timore.
A gentlcmnn reported tills conversation
overheard by hlin yeslerday nt Oak wood:
"I understand tho military are going to
have bore next Moilday. If they do, they
hnd better tako the strike-breakers nlong
with them. If they don't we'll raise so
much row they will have to rail the reg?
ulars next time, or reinstale the strikers
nnd grant their demnnds." Tho nthors In
the group ncqnlosrod in this expression.
When the Onkwood line was opened up
yesterday tho motormen hnd to clear tho
wires of n\\ manner ot debris hung there
to retard or prevent tho operation of tho
cars. Old trousers, coats, rngs tied to
tin enns. old skirts nnd nil manner of
impediments were collected, and when
tho run wns concluded nearly five bushels
of this refuse wero on the car. Theso
had been hung there with the purpose ot
throwing the trolley off. Thorn wns no
real attack on tho cars nnd llttln jeering,
owing to the presence of the troops.
'Several Indies who had the temerity to
rido on the ears several days ago, Te?
pori having been approached by men or
women who demanded their names. Tn
most cases those demands were Ignored
ns wero tboso making them. Ono young
lady stated thnt a man had accosted her
thus: "Your name, please." She gave tho
man nn answering stnro nnd went on.
Ho Inquired of some ono else and learned
her name. Afterwards several of tho ac?
quaintances of tho young lady gavo hor
tho cut direct, when thoy met her.
It wns reported yeslerday that a banker
of this city hod refused to ride on tho
cars because a. business man In sympathy
with tho strike hnd threatened to tako
his account away from the bank if ho
did. Several persons havo signified their
Intention of taking their accounts away
if tho story provo true.
Company E, of tho Seventy-first, Is
about the most widely scattered company
on duty here just now. They are covering
tho territory at Lakeside, Westliampton,
North Seventh Street and North Seven?
teenth Street. Small detachments aro nt
each place to guard' tho property thqre.
Thero Is now less, talk of boycotting
than several days ago. In fact, the term Is
seldom hoard now at all, though many in?
dividuals announce their Intention of no
longer patronizing certain firms. Tho
firms which It was reported wore not per?
mitting their employes to ride arev vigor?
ously denying these reports.
ORDERLY CHURCH HILL
Cars Running as Usual?No Disorder
of Any Kind.
Church Hill was never moro orderly and
law-abiding than last nlghtJ Tho Clay
Street cars ran during the entire evening,
and not nn incident occurred to disturb
tlio serenity of tho period from seven
until midnight or tho comfort of the
passengers. Quito a number of people
wore riding, among them ladles and chil?
dren. Eacii car bad two or three soldiers
on It, but they were unnecessary except
for the quieting Influence, possibly, of
their presence.
The vigilance of the soldiers on Satur?
day nnd the' previous nights was not
nearly so much obseiwcd, and it was not
nearly so much necessary as on Satur?
day and the nights previous. A patrol
was mado of Twenty-ninth Street near
tho car barns, of ? Street, of Twenty
fifth Street and of Church Hill Avenue.
But apparently this was unnecessary.
The people did not seem to have any de?
sire to gather on tho streets and tho
expression was heard on all sides
that the disorder was over, and there?
fore the strike. Peoplo have leurned
to think of a strlko in connection with
disorder nnd tho oxhlblt of force, and
when tho latter ceases, to many tho strike
Is over and they follow the even tenor
of their way nn before.
The police and officers and police still
have strict orders regarding standing on
Main Street. Policeman Lamkln last
night asked a gentleman to movo from
Ilio corner of Twenty-first nnd Main
Streets, though the indWIdaul was alone
and waiting for a car to come. These
wero his orders, ho said.
The Clay Street line had ten cars out,
and they were maintaining a seven min?
utes' schedule.
VOLLEYS WERE FIRED
-i?
Two Incidents Broke the Quiet of'the
East End Last Night.
Throughout tho West End last night
a beautiful and serene quiet prevailed.
Tho cool, pleasant evening air was qulot
and undisturbed as any Sunday night In
ante-bellum days.
But ono casualty Is reported, the kill?
ing of an Impecunious frog, which had
nono better to do than to leap across the
track just ns a wheel caino along. Tho
motorman stopped long enough to look
down on blm, and then pped on. On
Laurel Street near Floyd a car ran over
three, matches, and three girls over under
tho trees In Monroe Park laughed.
Apart from these sundry disturbances
the West End was quiet as said. So
ordinary wuS tho appearance of every?
thing at tho Reservoir that Dr. Cnrrlng
ton, who lias beon staying there late nt
night attending to wounds and bruises,
left, about 10 o'clock for home with his
physio, lie had nothing to do. When
he went Mr. Huff, who has bren wont to
remain, receiving reports of riots and
other disorders, went with him.
So quint wan it along the line that la?
dles began to ride to the Ro.orvolr and
back, pausing th? dark and fearsome
le?da out of which came the shots Of a
few nights back. At Ih? Reservoir Itself

wasn't large, but a. number of p?o|?lc vis?

Cannot Increase Revenue.
Editor of Tho TImes-Dlspa.teh:
.?"Ir,?In the' ttinnv article?? relativo lo
(he nit-Ike, 1 hnve fall-??! lo see the follow?
ing point drawn out. via: If tho Passen?
ger an?i Power Company continuo from
year to year to advance thn wages of
the men, and It Is fair lo presumo an
advance now would bo followed by furth?
er demands In n. year, how nro they to
Incrrai-e their revenue to meet theso ad?
ditional charges? The rate of fare Is
fixed by law and camini be changed. The
steam railroads, mines, manufacturers
and others havo given advances but tho
extra chnrgo has been met many times
over by Increased freight rates, higher
prices at factories nnd mines. Every one
who buys a ton of coal to-day is pay?
ing moro for It in order that tho opera?
tor nnd railroad may pay higher wagon
to their men.
Tho above comblions do not apply in
any particular to tho street railway. The
additional cost of coal at thn Seventh
Street power-house alone Is SfiO per day
greater for tho samo number of tons
than It was three years ago. This is
over $20,0 ?1 per year. Doubtless the Fame
Is.trun of oil, waste, copper and other
commodities used by them.
No fnult enn bo found with the men
for trying to botter their condition ln
any reasonable wny, but. tbe company
must, look wltl? great alarm on constantly
Increasing charges with no possible way
of Increasing revenue to moot them.
They doubtless feel that a continuation
nf those demands by the Union would
mean ultimate ruin nnd the situation
might as well bo mot and fought out one
tlino as another.
FAIR PLAY.
Mobs of Other Days.
Editor of The Tlmos-DIspatcb:
Sir,?In ono of your editorials ln last
Sunday'.** paper bonded "Riots of Other
Days," you remind nie, an eye-witness of
tho scene, of ono of the most exciting
events ever seen in Richmond. Tho cen?
ter of tho disturbance was on Cary Street
from Tenth to Fifteenth, whero most of
tho commission stores wore looted. It
was thought thorn were 10.000 persons In
that portion of Cary Street?mode up
mostly of women.
You say speeches were made by the Gov?
ernor nnd Mayor; I listened to.them, and
they produced about as much effect as
those speeches mado during last week.
Whilo the mob was at its height I saw
a man on a powerful grny horso turn
from Twelfth Street into Cary, followed
by a platoon ot Infantry. Tho rider, In
a most penetrating volco, holding his
watch in his hand, shouted to tho mob:
"I givo you throo'minutes In which to
disperse and retire to your homes." lie
was greeted with joers and yells, but when
the three minutes had expired ho ordered
tho soldiers to fix bayonets and charge,
and Cary Street was soon cleared of the
mob. ?
Personally, I havo had deep sympathy
with the cav men and think their demands
reasonable, but tho moment their sympa?
thizers attempt tq inaugurate the rule of
mob tho one only! remedy is the man on
the Iron gray horse, who I learned after?
ward was Jefferson Davis.
Temporizing .has cost our city dearly In
reputation and hard cash, while the rioters
have proven themselves the worst ene?
mies to tho causo of the car men.
I earnestly hope that calmer judgment
will prevail.

RICHMOND MAN'S SUCCESS
Mr. Barney's Church Buildings Attract?
ing Much Attention.
Richmond and tho Stato aro always gl-id
to hear good tidings of their sons In their
chosen fields of work In distant cities.
It was with no llttlo pride thnt we nf
'the Southland had; laid beforo our eyes
In the Saturday "Evening- Post nf some
months back nn admirably prepared nr
tlcln on "The Success of Southern Men
ln New York." *
Tt was a singularly strong and Impres?
sive array of facts, setting forth the
splendid nchicvementn In religion, science,
politics, law and medicine of our South
born, trained and educated men. Their
genuino ability, pluck, energy and at?
tainments had led thorn onward and up?
ward. In this same connection we must
bo pardoned for noting that just a few
days ago ono of our young men, not yet
thirty years old, educated at tho At?
lanta Polytechnic Training Schools, was
called to tnko charge of large cotton mills
at Fall River, Mass.
But this is not all. A very fine article
has just appeared In the Juno number of
'?The Architectural Record," Now York
city, with the heading, "Recent Church
Building In Now York." It is written by
Montgomery Schuylcr art critic in New
York, also connected/ with Columbian
University, a man of broad scholarship
and perhaps the highest authority on
architecture ln this country."
In describing many new church build?
ings just erected in New York city, Mr.
Schuyler refers with beautiful half-tone
Illustrations to some of the onrly nnd
lato work of our young Rlchmonder, Mr.
J. Stewart Barney.
All feel honored In thn success that
Richmond's son has achieved In this
fino field for display of ability, Mr.
Barney's acknowledged work now places
blm alongside the very flnesl workers
In ecclesiastical architecture In this coun?
try?such men aa McKIm, Meado .and
White, Carero nnd Hastings, Hiues and
I ?afargo. Hunt, Burnliam nnd Prlco and
tho now Important -Boston firm which
has Just secured tbo government West
rolnt additions,
Tho fact of these buildings nf Mr. Bar?
ney's being Illustrated! and described at
such length and with such learned com?
ment In the Architectural Record Is
much in Itself, but when such words of
genuino praise accompanies tho detailed
nnn.lysoH of Mr. Barney's work by Mr,
Schuyler, our pride In our young friend
, Is just an?- pardonable,

THE RELIANCE WON
IN STIFF BREEZE
Beat Both of thc Older Boats .
in Thirty Mile Race In a
Lumpy Sea.
(Py Assodateli Press.)
NEWPORT, R. I., June ?tf.?Tho new
cup yacht Rebaneo proved to-day her
worth as a heavy weather boat, when she
defeated the Columbia nnd Constitution
In a ?tiff easterly breeze and lumpy sea
over a thirty-mile course, fifteen miles of
which wns a boat to tho windward. Tho
Hollance sailed the course In four min?
ute?, nino seconds lem time than did
tho Columbia, nnd four minuten, fifty?
eiglit seconds lens than did tho Consti?
tution.
All tho racing In which these boats
havo participated up to to-day has boeu
in light airs ?nd smooth water, but this
afternoon there was a smashing good
whole sail breeze blowing nnd considera?
ble jump to Ilio water, conditions that/
are exactly suited to tho Columbia. With
her owner, ?. ?. Morgan, at the helm, the
old cup defender Billed a grand race,
reaching tho windward mark only one "'
minuto, fifty seconds ?dern of the Re?
liance, and one minute, thirty-one seconds
ahead of tho Constitution.
On the run home, however, the Re?
liance pulled away steadily from both of
her opponent!?, while tho Constitution
gained considerably on the Columbia.
Captain Barr sailed the new sloop for all
there was In lier, and gnvo her rigging
and spars a thorough testing.
To-day's raco wns the first of a series
given by the Now York Yacht Club, and
thnro will bo racing every day this
week.
