AUTHORITIES CONFER.
The city authorities got themselves to-
gether at an early hour yesterday morn
ing for conference concerning the re-
ports of disorder and improper conduct
/, on the street at a late hour Monday
night. Mayor Dick Taylor was heard
from in a style which admitted of no I'M
certain interpretation. The Mayor Is de-
termined that our country cousins shall
depart with no unfortunate recollections
of their visit to Richmond The only
Justice John IS of the same mind. Allied
with these worthless in the cause of law
and order is Major Howard. who has
lately sworn in a large force OF extra and
special police. 1t is believed that the con-
ference OF these representatives of the
majesty of the city government will in
spire the police, regular and special, with
a. desire to hold the situation in hand
with a somewhat tighter rein than on
Monday night The first offender who
gets before Justice John will probably be

A ROYAL PROCLAMATION.
The King. too, has spoken on the point,
and the following royal proclamation was
yesterday heralded forth:
ut is my desire that all of my subjects
shall enjoy the Carnival to the fullest eNo
tent: therefore 1 command that the peo-
pie attend all of the parades. free shows
and other attractions, for by SO doing they
will profit thereby, thus adding TO the
pleasures of the week

from unduly iostling pushing and other
wise making it uncomfortable for the Ia
dies and children. who, in obedience to
my con ,cands. will appear. on the street.
''It is not my intention that the use OF
confetti CT other innocent amusements
shall be relaxed or interfered with.
The Chief of Police will see that this
command is complied with. Pen
SOCIETY OUT IN FORCE.

passing along with the crowd. or had q
feathery-, bushy thing on stick thrust in
to the treatment they expected when they
started out to receive, they did not grow
angry; and launch forth into a diatribe
arent the rudeness of the beauX Of the
present generation. They did no such
thing, but on many cases paid the young
man back in Kind and frequently the
latter came out OF the fray worsted. The
throng there was fun-loving one, and
the instances of bad feeling were rare
indeed.
The megaphone man and the cane girl
were familiar figures on the street. The
latter is the daInse with a red. white and
blue Carnival stick, and the former is the
fellow who tells people across the street
that Reuben has come TO town
ELECTRICAL ILLUNIINATION.
The electrical illumination of the street
was much admired last night. The hong
lines of incandescent lights We're peculiar
iy soft and pleasing in effect. The power
is the gift of the Virginia Electrical Rail-
way and Development Company, whose
sple.ddly Illuminated building. at Sew
enth and Main Streets, is probably the
most notable example of work of this
character in the city. IT is much re-
gretted that this building is not on Broad
Street.
