THE BALL A BIG SUCCESS,
Large Crowd Enjoys Stage Employees Asso-
Cations First Dance.
t has happened.

L 1t has lappened.
The first ball Of the Stage Employees
Association is a thing of the past, but
only in date. Its memory will not soon
fade from those who enjoyed the affair
at Monticello Hall last night. There are
no Bromo Settler heads this morning, but
there is many a sore foot, for the ball
began promptly at O'Clock last evening.
and when the sun came over Fulton
Heights the orchestra was still whizzing
off rag time, marches, Schottishes, qua
drilles and jigs for the merry crowd:
The men who swing scenery with the
same respect that Engagement smash
iron-bound trunks, had promised every
one that bought a fifty cent pasteboard
a good time, and they fulfilled the prom
Use tenfold. The Entertainment Commit
tee and the floor managers were hardly
able to cope with the crush, and as a
flank movement they had a pair of the
road-Street squad of Captain Angles
finest on hand. There was no disorder
dense that a little pushing and jostling
sixteen inches of space.
Bohemia of Richmond was never so in
its glory, and fafter the girls whos go to
bed in time toicatch their beauty sleep
had gone, it broke loose in orderly fash
ion. The sport wore his biggest diamond
and the man who carries sporting events
on his fingers top was surrounded by his
satellites. And above all shown the
beauty and wit Of the "A Trip to Buffalo,
Company. Every. girl of the chorus had
one and two partners for a dance, and
the comedians won many a. Richmond

TRACTION MEN ARE
TAKING A STAND.
Disposition Not to Work With
Norfolk Company's
Sympathizers.

Tho report was everywhere on the
streets yesterday that the men OF the
Richmond Traction Company were con-
tempting strike. But this seems to
be without much foundation
The runlor is an exaggeration Of what
many of the Traction men have said, that
they would not work with the two men,
Davis and Cowardin, who went to Nor
folk to take the places Of the strikers
there. A good deal Of Indignation is felt
by the men of both the Passenger and
Power Company and the Traction Com
pany that Richmond men should have
gone out of the. city and taken sides
against their clansmen of that city. a
prominent membcr4of the Association of
Street Railway: Employees said yesterday
that he did not think there would be any
trouble in Richmond growing out of that
in Norfolk. A sympathetic strike here
would do no real good, and there was no
grievance here to warrant strike. But
this same man said4he did not blame the
men of the Traction Company for saying
they would not work 1with the two men
who went from their ranks to the COM
panys side in Norfolk.
GENERAL NALLEs THERE.
Acknowledgement Male returned from
Norfolk yesterday morning. He spent
Wednesday and Wednesday night there
aco,1ainting himself with the situation Of
the strike.
The General was seen upon mis- return.
He attributes the seeming improve
ment in the situation there yes
terday afternoon and last night to the
additional troops called into service,
which enables the commanding officers
tn patrol the streets and man the cars
with such formidable numbers as to
keep in subsection the rioters who seem
bent on mischief.
He considers that the conditions pre-
sent. many ugly phases, and says it is
impossible to form any idea as to how
long the situation will continue.
ALL DOING THEIR DUTY.
s'The officers in command and the men,"
said General Male, are conducting them
selves in most comnsndable and soldier
ly manner, handling the situation with
firmness, and having Il thorough knowl-
edge Of all the phases of the controversy"
At this time there is no thought Of cur
failing the troops, but on the other
hand, If the strike is prolonged others
may be called into service. The duty
is falling heavily on the soldiers Of the
Seventy-frst, but under the strain the
men seem in good spirits, determined and
fearless in the discharge of their duties.
General Nalle held Il brief conference
with Governor Montague early to-day,
reporting the situation as he found it
and assures him he considered the Off
GERS, and troops now on duty equal to
the demands of the occasion.
General Male could not say whether
he would return to Norfolk or not.

Your statement of alleged facts and o.
liz. n0sition of this committee is entirely

Your statement of alleged facts and o.
tic position of this committee is entirely
erroneous. We have never acquiesced in
the justice Of your attitude toward the
Car Mems Union. It is true that we agreed
that proper bonding for HONESTY OF
suci, men as handled money was reason
able. Neither the Central Labor Uuion
nor the Car Mems Union will tolerate any
thing but honesty, as tar as we have any
influence whatever. That principle is one
of the primo objects of these unions. The
fact that q man holds a lowly position in
a company is no reason why he should
not be as honest as those above him. In
this case we leave the public to judge
by the record who are the most honest
in any and every way.
So far as the bond was represented to
us at the conference in question we saw
no objection to it, and the men agreed to
our report and tried to carry out the
agreement. That the matter has been
further agitated is not our fault.
"A proper bond, however, might not con-
template putting the motorn1en and con-
ductors both in the power Of one foreign
company. whose partisan inspectors
could, in effect break up the Car Mems
Union, and ina effect pass upon the char
acters and ireput atoms Of the men, espe-
cially when it is nlanifestly to the inter
B est Of the bond company, as well as the
financial interested the railroad, to drop
as many men as possible. as we are now
convinced might be the case. The profit
to the bond company coming entirely
from dropping men. Just as some insur-
ance companies, run from the lapses of
the policies of members, it is evident that
the 5000 paid for bonding these men will
not pay for inspectors even. SO the bond
company must expect its profit from this
process. So
ass5 we still aver that a good bond in a
good company or with good individual
security, is reasonable, but do not think
thu men should put themselves In the

situation is unchanged. The strikers de-
clared themselves as opposed to Vio-

MAY CHOOSE SWANSON.
Talk OF Him as Chairman of Congressional
Campaign Committee.
Especial Dispatch to The Time:


WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
There has been a good derll of talk at
the Capitol for the past day or so of
the probable successor to Representa-
tive Richardson, the minority leader, as
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee. Among
those spoken of for this position is thu
Hon. Claude NJ. Swanson, of Virginia.
At present it is too early for predictions,
as the strength of the different candi-
dates cannot be gagged Swanson is,
however. a very active man in Congress.
and is sure to have good deal of sup
port in case he should decide to make q
fight for the place. There have been
rumors afioat that he would not be a
candidate for reelection to Congress in
the autumn: but this report has been
denied The rumors were to the effect
that Mr.. Swanson had. upon being given
a try for the governorship of Virginia,
agreed to step out OF the race for the
Fifty-eighth Congress. These were
denied to-day by Mr.. Swanson's init
mate friends.
AS a member Of the Congressional Cam
paign Committee from Virginia, Judge
Rhea would seem the logical candidate
for the Craftsmanship If any Virsinian
were run!
There is still no change in the situation
as regards the Virginia marshalships.
Jim Browning. who was at the White
House to-day. when asked his opinion as
to when the appointments might be
looked for. said: From what learned
at the White House to-day think it will
be a week or two before anything is done.
AS to predictions, the state of affairs is
more uncertain to-day than 1t has ever
been. 49,.
Judge Rhea was at the White House
to. day, also. to introduce Judge f. w.
Strotl1er, who was there to recommend
Rosser, the incumbent OF the CuIpeper
restofflce. for reappointment. Cuipeper
is Judge Strother's old home.
