''The Blanket Ordinance" which purposes to regulate the service of street railway corporations in Mont xomery, Is in effect and Mayor Teague has instructed City Engineer A. R. Eilchrist City Electrician B. A. Blakey and Chief of Police ". H. Taylor. to keep supervision of the system of the Montgomerv Traction Company.
 Several of the sections of the ordin- ance are suspended temporarily by order of the Council. however. and General Manager ". H. Raxland. of the Traction Company, said last night that with fhe exception of the sections which concern the installation of fend- CTS and air brakes. the ordinance is be- ing complied with by the ComDany.
 To each of the city officers to whom is delegated part of the general en- forcement of the ordinance. Mayor Teague sent communication. Mayor Teagua advised strict surveillance pointing out to each officer the sections which will be especially under hts care. and indicating what parts of the ordinance had been suspended tempor- arily by the Council.
 The chief points of the ordinance which are for the time excluded from the force of the ordinance are in re- gard to lenders, afr brakes and the segregation of races.
 The much discussed problem of the carriage of white and negro passengers without mingling the two kinds, has

not yet been finally determined. The ordinance requires that the Traction Company shall place in It's cars either permanent or temporary barriers TOT the separation of the members or the two races. or that 1t shall provide sep arate cars. but this plan is held in allowance and for the present only pis- cards indicating what seats may be used by each race are piaced.,
 Cars must be operated on fifteen minute schedule. They must be stopped only at the far side" of the street except that at theatres, churches halls or other places where there are considerable numbers of persons to pc taken aboard they may be stopped Ten miles an hour Is the maximum speed for the cars on straight tracks; on curves and turn-outs they must not exceed a speed of four miles an hour.

This Nuisance Inevitable at This Season.
 If much of the sidewalks is occupied by cranberries, and mackerel and
 wagons and fireworks. and fruit and dolls, and shoes, and cabbages, and chinaware. and pianos, you must get through as best you can, for there
 seems to be no other way around 1t or over 1t or under 1t, either. There is an ordinance forbiddfng the utilization of sidewalks as storage places for goods and chattels. but the officers of the city say that 1t is im- DOS ;ible to enforce the law literally. especially at this season of the year. It is contemplated that merchants shall utilize the sidewalks only In the recep- tion and the shipment Of merchandise

But 1t is impossible for merchants in the stores of Christ mas cheer and trade to do all these things at once, and so it Is that the pedestrian person must walk around unless he wishes to take an alpenstock and climb over
 The troubles really hark back to the time when Montgomery was first grow | ing up. Those who nursed 1t in its infancy forgot the alleys that they have in some towns. where the oldest inhabitants had time 10 think what they were doing before they did It. So there are no back doors and the merchandise comes in the front door with the customer.

 of the city maintained a passageway 1, of several feet and had otherwise to place a liberal construction upon the section of the code bearing upon the sidewalk question.

 Denver. Co.,. Dec 5.-When Wm. D. Hay wood, secretary-treasurer of The Western Federation of Miners. was informed yester- day that Governor Sparks of Nevada had asked that Federal troops be sent to Gold field.
