Tho United States senate PhOtO-
Eraphed.


Ore of the most interesting and sue
cessful newspaper enterprises of the
past few years is what is known as the
Senatorial Edition of Washington, ID.
c., local paper. 1t is eight pages illas-
trated, printed on fine tinted paper,
life. like, hoto-portraits, and biogrsphi-
cal sketches Of each member Of the
United States Senate, together with q
full history Of that distinguished body
from its organization to the present
time. In addition to the individual
pictures, a most remarkable group OF
the entire Senate, standing on the steps
Of the Capitol, forms the frOntispiece
or title page, the picture being taken
especially for this edition, and with
such artistic care that each face is q
striking likeness. Senator's have given
it their couutenance and liberal sunccccIlss
and already the sales have reached
nearly half a million. This Is the first
instance ever offered where so concise
and striking 3 history Of the United
States Senate has been given to the
public. 1t will serve not only as .
souvenir of the times, but as political
record for reference in the event Of the
death Of 4 member, his rise in public
career, or for data in the choice Of fu-
ture Presidents. There are but few
advertisements, and the paper is Of such
intrinsic value that it should be bought
up and laid away as prize.
The Blake Publishing Company, Of
Baltimore, Nd, have procured control
of the senatorial edition, and are fur
nishlng same by mail upon receipt Of
ten cents.

ter from Supervising. Architect NJ. +.
Bell, at Washington, instructing him to
have the stone. cutting done by day

teily efforts to secure the work for our
mechanics. lie is now, as he has always
been, true friend to the laboring man.
This is the first public building that
the Government has ever had done by

20,C00 tons of granite to be used in

two bidders were tho Richmond

At one time the former, or the Phila.
delphia quarry, which is operated by

A telegram from st. Louis saws

ST. LOUIS. September s0-The knights OF
labor In the West and more particularly
those in ST. Louis, have decided that strikes
like the boycott, must go, and that they
should no longer be recognized ~ q neces-
sity In the order. While this important
decision is not publicly announced, yet tho
Information comes rom unquestioned au
thority. The feet IL that some OF the
knights consider that this has been one oi
the greatest obstacles the order mas had 10
meet. What action on this measure will be
taken IN the Richmond Convention is
yet uncertain. The st. Louis delegates
ho Eever, IL 10 understood. are instructed IN
favor OF law whish will dispense entirely
with the strike system. Arbitration Will
hereafter be the policy OF the Western
Knights In oil questions OF wages and labor
that require adjustment. Tue ST. Louis
knights may ask the Richmond ConVsn-
tion fora committee whose special duties
will be TO investigate and settle all diftlcul'
ties OF this character. with suggestions from

what tho Company wants aud What
ItP,Oposes TO DO.

A Dispatch reporter called on Mr..
Charles Selden, the superintendent OF
the streetrailwsy company yesterday,
with a view to ascertsiniDg what the
plans OF ths-- -sompsBy- are for the
future in regard to extending their
tracks, &C., &c.
In reply to the first question asked
Mr.. Selden SAID Yes, we wish to ex-
tend our tracks, and. have petitionsd
the Council for permission to do so,
but as yet have attained nothing.
"Whst is the substance Of the petit
tion?"
Well, we ask permission to lay
tracks aud run cars from Ninth and
Broad to Ninth and Leigh, thence up
Leigh to Brooke avenue, thence to
Broad. We have also asked leave to
extend our Msin-street line out to the
corporate limits. We have urged the
matter all We can, and will begin work
as soon as the petition is granted.
There is no possible reason that | can
see why the Council should object to
our extending our lines. 1t seems to
me they ought to be willing to furnish
their constituents with the best facili-
ties for city travel"
"Do you expect to run your cars
later at night any time soon?"
I" In few days we propose that the
first Broad-street car to come to the
stable shall not leave the lower end of
Main street until about 10 O'Clock.
That is, up to 10 o'clock all of the
Bioad.street cars will run on day
schedule, when they will begin going to
the stable, the last one leaving Rockets
at ten minutes past IL. We have, you
know, already commenced running our
Main-street cars until IL o'clock"
In regard to the petition before the
Council inquiry at the Council cham
Der brought to light the following facts {:
That when presented the petition was
referred to the Committee on Streets /;
that on the Cd of August the commit
tee reported to the Council an ordinance
granting the Richmond City Railway
Company the privileges asked, subject
to The usual restrictions, and recon-
mended its adoption; that, on motion
Of Mr.. Pizzini, the paper was laid on
the table and ordered to be printed for
tic Information Of members that Mr..
Ammons moved the following amend
men:, which was saddled on the ordi-
nance: : "And to extend track from
Main street along Twenty-frst to
Church.Hill avenue, to Twenty.flfth
ard NJ streets, out Twenty.lifth to P
street, and out p street TO 0skwood
avenue, and thence to OakwOod Gene
terry -; that at the last meeting of the
Common Council the matter was called
up, but, as the hour was late, it was
sgain laid on the table, where it will re-
main until again called up.

JACKSON WARD.

The Republicans Of Jackson Ward
met at Nsvy-Hill Hall, near Navy-Hill
School. The room was packed, most
ly with celored men. John 7. Anderson
(colored) was elected president, and
Councilman J. R. Griffin secretary.
The greatest disorder prevailed, and
at 10 O'Clock the Chair ordered short
recess in the hope Of getting the turbu-
lent element out Of the hall.
Policemen were sent for, aud 10
about ten minutes the session was re-
sumed, and continued until after mid
night. The meeting was so inharmo-
nious, however, that no delegates were
elected, though several were nominated:
About 1915 o'clock, some one moved
to adjourn. Before the motion was
put the lights were extinguished, which
broke up the assembly.
There was some talk Of calling an
other meeting this morning, but no
steps were taken to that end.
