It Isn't Fair to the Business Men.

1.-THE business men of Norfolk are
not being given anything like consid-
Grafton by the city administration, so
long as a man past 70 years of age is
left on the police force to guard the
business district at night" Norfolk
merchant said Friday. Personally,
like Mr.. Livingston and I'd hate to see
him lose the city salary that he has
had for so many years, but really
don't feel that the business men are
being fairly treated when downtown
property is left under the protection
of man who, despite his spirit Of
gameness, is altogether too old and
feeble for such position. Livingston
could not stay at South Norfolk, be.
cause the people of the Fourth ward
demanded change. They had moth
ing personally against Livingston, but
they were tired of being left practical
ly unprotected, which 1t meant as long
as Livingston was on the beat"
Mr.. Livingston's recent desire to be
transferred back to the Fourth ward
has caused storm of protest among
Fourth warders. He can't come back
they say, and they declare the mayor
will be given to understand that point
very clearly.
Meanwhile, uptown business mer
are justifiably nervous at night, be
lieving that a man of past 20 years
would be in no way equal to any emer
gency that might arise, in which rea
policeman was needed. And the pro
lection of thousands of dollars worth
of property, they declare, is of more
consequence than political job, will
tap on the city treasury, for a mar
untitled for the place.

SETTLE WITH EMPLOYERS.
Two Large Steamship Companies Give
Sailors Increase,

London, June 15.-It was announced
this evening that the White Star line
and the seamen's union had arranged
settlement of their difficulties, the
White Star conceding an advance Of
$3.50 a month in wages to all EN-.
ployes involved.
This is one-half the amount demand
ed by the strikers. Work proceeded
as usual on the London docks today,
with nothing to suggest that a general
strike of seamen had been called. At
the provincial ports there was some
response to last nights strike signal
and few ships were without crews.
Other vessels, however, were getting
away without difficulty.
The coal porters at Southampton
who precipitated the strike, returned
to work this morning. The coaling OF
the American liners st. Paul and New
York is proceeding smoothly at South
ampton. The New York is scheduled
to sail on Saturday, the st. Paul
