MORE ALARMING.


FhaSe.
New ORLEANS, Nov. THE strike of
the labor unions composing the Work
ingmen's Amalgamated council as
sumed more alarming proportions yes
terday and the prospect now is that all
of the city industries, with possibly one
or two exceptions, in which union labor
is employed, will be at a standstill to-
day. sea-.
The conference between the mer-
chants aud laborers' committees was
resumed at the city hall, Mayor Fitz-
patrick presiding, and after an execu-
tive session, which covered two
hours, was finally dissolved with
ont result. The merchants persist
ed in their demand that the men
should return to work before any at
tempt was made to arbitrate the exist
ing difference and the men were equally
firm in their demand that the differ
ences should be arbitrated at once be
fore the mer were ordered back to
work; or at least as an evidence of good
faith that an arbitrator should be
chosen at once. To this proposition
the merchants replied that no charge
of bad faith could lie against them.
The men, they claimed, had failed to
carry out the agreement made with
them and if guarantees were to be
given. they should come from the men.
Up to midnight the men had made no
fresh overtures to their employers. The
electric light workers union has decided
TO Join the strike but the decision re-
uuires the sanction of the International
Electric Workers union of which 10 is q
member before it becomes effective.
When they strike, if they do, the city
will be in darkness. as the gas men
went out yesterday. The longshoremen
have refused to strike and have re-
signed from the American Federation
of Labor.
The Typographical union mot yeSter-
day afternoon and decided to 60 out.

tion of every morning paper in the city

The guards at the armOries of a

doubled and arrangements made to call

There has so far been no demand upon
their services Street car travel ha
been entirely suspended, and the only
means of transit to distant parts OF the
city is by hacks or wagons, which are
run periodically.

AMERICUS VESPUCIUS.
Attitude of Him For Whom the Ne
World Was Named

Attitude of Him For Whom the New
World Was Named.
If by anything which he wrote or did
he sought to claim the original discov-
cry of the New World. the fact has not
been proven. and Columbus certainly
did not know or suspect il. for we find
him at Seville in 1908, after his return
from his last voyage, broken, feeble,
and destitute, sending by Vespucius
letter to his son Diego at the Spanish
court, commencing to him the bearer,
whom he the admiral, had commits
stoned to plead his cause with the obdu-
rate king. The alue of Vespucius for
this mission lay in the fact that he had
himself visited the Brazilian coast with
Alonzo de Ojeda in t499. and could con-
firm Columbus account of the richness
of that country.
As to the final charge that Vespucius
in his letter claimed to have nude
voyage in 1491 which he really did not
make, the evidence seems to be against
him, but at worst it only convict him
of an effort-out of all harmony with
his otherwise upright life-to magnify
his experience as navigator, and thus
secure new employment in that capacity
from King Ferdinand, who was then
inclined to treat him with neglect.
This is perhaps begging the question,
but the essential point in this connection
is that not even this charge, if true, nor
any other established fact, can fix upon
Vespucius the stigma of having sought
to give his name to the realm that had
been found by Columbus That which
actually happened resulted, By curious
accident, from the fact that he had
penchant for writing, which the more
sedate and preoccupied Columbus had
not.-Frank II. Mason. in Harper's
Magazine.
