Novel Road Proposed.

Those who are engaged in the industiJ
of making brick and whose plants are
located near the southern end of the
Long bridge are considering PROPOSE
ton for theimprovement of the road which
is the only means of communication
between their plants and the bulk of the
consumers of brick who live in Washing
ton. The plan is to lay an iron track
along the road for the wagons to run on
with stretch of macadam between the
rails. The rails, however, are not of the
usual type. They are Ito be broad strips
of iron some eight inches in breath,
placed on a strong bed, and with a sub
stantial footing for the horses between
tracks.

Ferry Rumors.

There is no ferry communication be-
tween Alexandria and Washington, nor
has there been since last Saturday and
from present indications there is no
likelihood of it being restored in the
near future, 1t is now said that before
a double-ender can be put on the route
it will be necessary to remove the hulk
of the burned steamer Columbia from
the slip in Washington. 1t is not
known when this will be done, as the
insurance company has sixty days in
which to adjust the loss. In the mean
time the managers Of the new company
recently organized are represented as
being anxious to charter boats for the
line until two new ones can be con-
structed.

An Historic Figure.

The old Indian of a pleasant counte-
nance who for half a century stood at the
northeast corner of King and Fairfax
streets holding bundle of cigars in
his hand seemingly inviting passersby
to help themselves, is now the central
figure in flower garden of the premises.
Vines are gradually covering the vel
known red man who from his pedestal
muteIy witnessed so much of AleXan-
drias history. He is now headless,
that portion of his makeup having sue
cumbed to the tooth of Time. The
composition of the aborigine is red
cedar. Disintegration is in rapid
progress, and ere long the ivy vine will
have become his winding sheet.

CHICAGO STRIKE
 STILL UNSETTLED
PROPOSITION HAS BEEN SUBMIT TED TO THE COMPANY BY THE STRIKERS AND ANSWER WILL BE GIVEN TODAY.

Chicago, November 22.-The strike on the Chicago City railroad is still unset tied. Peace negotiations, which have been in progress for nearly week, were confined today to the consideration by the board of directors of the road to a proposition submitted to the company last night by the strikers.
 The proposition, 1t Is said, provides for the arbitration of the grievances of the union whose members have struck What action the directors took on this demand is not known, as their answer will not be given to the union until tomorrow. A basis of settlement of all the other differ ences In the controversies 1t Is said, have been agreed upon. and unless the com pany shall refuse to accede to this new demand of the union, an amicable adjust ment of the whole dispute should be reached not later than tomorrow night.
 There was a marked increase in the patronage today on the four lines oper- ated by the company under police pro- lection. There were a few acts of vio- lence, however, and the day passed off quietly, only three arrests being made for interference with the operation of the
 
 cars
 The teamsters have become more deep ly involved than ever before in the strike of the street car men, At a meeting to- night of representatives of all the locals of the union in Chicago, the stand taken last week when the drivers employed by the Chicago city railway were ordered on strike in sympathy with the trainmen and all teamsters belonging to the union were notified to cease deliveries to the plants of the traction company. was ap- proved When the order was first issued it was decided by the associated team ing interests of the city to be in direct violation of contracts, and an ultimatum was presented to Cornelius Shea, presi- dent of the International Brotherhood Of Teamsters, demanding that the order be rescinded or the employers would abro- gate every contract existing between them and the teamsters' union. Tonight s meeting was to consider the ultimatum and the result was a refusal to comply with the demand. President Shea ad- vised against the teamsters' course, but his word went undeeded, and the decis- ion to ignore the ultimatum of the em- ployers was almost unanimous.
 It was also decided to call a strike of the teamsters employed by the R. N. Jones Transfer company, who have been making deliveries to the Chicago City railway. This action, together with the stand taken on the ultimatum of the em- ployers, 1t Is believed, may result in a general lockout, or a strike of the SC, 900 union teamsters employed throughout the city,
