11. After the adjournment of the street earmen'a conference atanearlr hour this morning Mayor Koche made the following statement to a renorter A man connected with the West Ride CofflMnr called at my offioe this morning and asked if I wonld not like to see tbo west side men. By all means. I said. Alderman Nohe telephoned me shortly afterward to the effect that the men wonld like to see me.

The result was that a committee of ten, representing the west division. called at mv office and bad a long talk with me. I stated to tbem that all I eoald do wonld be to conciliate the on-posing parties, bnt that I was power- less to speak in behalf of tbe absent artv. Ther said they did not care to meet Yerkes. bnt told me jnat what thev eonld do.

While it wonld not be fair at this stage of the negotiations to say what their propositions were, I may ssy that they showed a disposition to yield in fact they did yield two or three points. With tnat as A BASIS OK rTJTTJR GUTDASCE, I sens word to tho attorney -for Mr. Yerkes and told him that I would like to see Mr. Yerkes. A room at Union League Club was secured, and Mr.

Yerkes and 1 talked tho matter oyer for several hours. I urged him to make some concession and a proposition, but could not get nun to do it. He saia bo thought more of the fact that be would hare to discharge some of his men than be did of the money. lie said that the west side men wonld first bare to show a willingness to go back. He told me that he did not contemplate any reduction of wages on the weet side, and even went so far as to say that be wonld agree to make no reduction bnt I could not get him to make any proposition in regard to the north side men that would come np to what he bad eaid before.

I do not mean what bo said at the former conference, for he renewed that proposition of 20. 22 and 23 cents. After the other conference I went np to his bouse and he seemed disposed to yield more at that time. To-night, however, ho would not go beyond his first offer for tbe north side men. That is all I could get out of him." When the mayor announced the result el bis conference to tbe waiting committees of strikers.

President Coyne seat out bis order to tbe west aide, as gaven in these dispatches last night, to report at the different barns early this morning and see that HO C1BS WIM TAI1K OCT. The men received this order with loud cheers. After the departure of the committees Mayor Koohe, Inspector Bon-field and Chief Hubbard held conferences at once. It was determined, in the face of a probable conflict, that the police should act vigorously in any riot ous proceeding. The police captains were given their orders this moraine The mayor prepared the following proclamation, which baa been printed and spread broadcast over the city Cirr of Chicago, Mayor's Offioe, Oct.

11. Whereas, difficulties have arisen between three street car companies and their employes, and as it necessary for tne preservation oi tne pence ana good nftaie of the city that law and order be maintained: therefore, citizens are re quested not to congregate on the streets la any section of the city, but to follow their usual vocations. If a crowd collects at any point, and evil disposed persons intending to commit an overt act conceal themselves in tbe midst. when breaches of the peace occur inno cent onlookers are liable to be injured. The law imposes upon tbe authorities toe auty ox preserving order and pro- tecting property, and this will be done.

Johx AoocHKf Mayor; TKTTNG TO BB8UMB TBAVZX. An effort will be made to run ten ears on West Madison street to-night. This was the announcement made byOen- eral Manager Parsons last evening. The company will not attempt to oper ate any of the other lines at present and will not endeavor to fill op its depleted ranks until next week, having strong hopes thai manjof the old men will re turn. The same nnmber of ears will be run on the north side as yesterday.

Mr. Yerkes claims that tbe north side has secured 200 new men, about one-third of the usual number employed. A committee of the west side strikers called on Captain Aldrioh this morning and informed him that they would assist the police in maintaining order; that they would all wear their official bat bands, and that if a not occurred the police might call on them with safety to. assist in suppressing it. Mr.

Yerkes was seen this morning. He said: "All negotiations are off and the comDany is now prepared for a long siege. Cars will be running to-day. and the mayor has promised ample protection. I will make no mora offers, nor will I receive my.

Alt negotiations are off. The fight is on." Superintendent Nagle, of the West Division Company, said: We shall ran fifteen cars to-day if we have adequate police protection. Thecal a will start from tbe Western avenue barns at 4 o'clock. We have got- plenty of new men and will rua cars in spite of the mob." THE BIOTOUS EUMKST on the north side was bnsy during the night. On tbe Sedgwick street line the strikersor tbeirsvuipathizershad pulled np the rails at two points along the road an Menomee street and Wisconsin street.

Obstructions were also placed along the track. The rails had not only been pulled np, but bad been carried away. Six cars started from the Sedgwick street barns at 6:80 o'clock s. m. They were loaded with police.

The car had to stooevery few.ininntee in order that tbje tracks might be cleared and while MVS was being done the crowds along tne streets set up their usual yells. Wbere the rails were torn np. the oars were dragged overt the street until the traok was reached again. On the Garfield avenue line the cars were started early and but few obstructions were met with. The cars made the trip in safety, although there were fears of a collision at Market street, where a crowd had gathered in considerable numbers and had placed oo tractions on the tracks.

These were removed. This afternoon a policeman allowed two of the new men to be beaten by a couple of strikers without interfering, and when tne fset was reported to his captain, the latter at once suspended biro. The executive committee of the. west side strikers have issued a card to the police depreciating the use of violence scd commanding ail of tbe strikers to tveid all disturbances. Shortly before 4 o'clock two ears, the first sent out daring tbe day In the west division, left tbe Western avenue barns.

About 125 policemen were on doty and succeeded in keeping the crowd, which numbered about fiOUO persons, far enough from the track to prevent interference. The cars oame oat at a rapid pace and with the patrol" wagons filled with policemen in front of and behind trem. made tbe trip down town in safety.

Besides the regular troops, all of the military clubs and popular associations of the city, with bauds and colors, were The two monarehs entered an open state carnage, drawn by six horses, and escorted by cuirassiers.

Of all the orators bnsy in extolling the virtues of the political party employing them, and pointing out wherein the other parties might be better.

Anna Dickinson is the one most talked about at tbe present time. Sbe is tbe only woman "on the stump," exoepting Belva Look wood, who seems to be the solitary speaker in ber party, and has the talk all to herself: and ber efforts in Indiana are followed remarkable results, both parties claiming to profit by them. More years ago than it would be polite to say, the fair Anna waa a publio speaker of triumphant power. That her prestige is still eminent appears in the fact of her engagement as an orator by tbe great Republican party. Anna Elizabeth Dickinson was born in Philadelphia on tbe 28th of October.

1842. Owing to ber mother's limited means, she was educated at the free schools of the Society of Friends. When about 12 years of age, sbe entered Wes-town "Boarding School of Friends," and remained there two years thence sbe went to tbe "Friends Select Shcool' in Philadelphia, where she pursued a dozen branohes of study at a time, yet seldom failed in a recitation. At 14 she published an article on slavery in the Liberator. When 17 she left school and began the hard work of life.

A remark which she msde about this time, to the committee man of a country school, aptly illustrates her independent spirit. He bad told ber that the position she was about to fill had formerly been occupied by a man at a salary of $28 a month, but that tbey would not pay a girl more tban $16. Something in his manner aroused tbe rebellious spirit within ber. and she replied, with great vehemence: "Sir! Are yon a fool, or do yon take me for one Though I am too poor to-day to buy a pair of gloves, I woul rather go in rags than- degrade my womanhood by accepting anything at your After a few efforts in the line of speech making at the meetings of Progressive Friends, she waa invited to speak in Mullica Hall, New Jersey, in April, I860. Her subject was "Woman's Work." At this meeting and also at the many which followed at which she spoke she created a profound sensation.

Her earnestness of manner, the cogency of ber arguments, her entire foigetfulness of self, held her audiences spell-bound. and she seemed to be able to rouse them to enthusiasm or fill their eyes with tears at wilL Her success was assured, and speech after speech followed in rapid succession, for which sbe received $100 a night. As a campaign speaker she did wonders. Wherever she went the halls were packed. Her vigorous efforts during the contest between Seymour and Buckingham in Connecticut, during the war, were among the.

crowning glories of her life. Her name was on every lip: gifts were showered npon her, and she was aerenaded wherever she went. For her lectnie on tbe nigbt preceding the victory of the Republicans she received $400. Miss Dickinson attempted the stage during recent years, appearing in her own and in Sbakspearian plays, but her success was not marked. She recovered from a severe illness lately, and is speaking with great physical and mental vigor.

30." Fan eral of Wight Chief HIgdoa. of the Western Union. Thea saddest of deaths is that of a man in the prime of life. Sadder still when death calls away such a man as Ben C. Higdon.

whose very busy life could not still the promptings of the warmest of hearts, and whose fidelity and human sympathy made him the best of friends. So the great sorrow that sobbed in the little household of the deceased spread to a large assemblage of people who attended the funeral. Tbe solemn ceremony took place at No. 438 Baronne street yesterday afternoon. Rev.Mr.

Mc-El wang.of the Franklin Street Memorial (Presbyterian) church, officiated and spoke tbe words of farewell. The funeral cortege moved from tbe house at 8:50 o'clock. The pallbearers were: Messrs. I. K.

Higdoui was the night' chief at the Western Union telegraph office. Many of the employes, all ot whom dearly lored their former companion, eoald not leave their poets. But the funeral passed tbe place and as it came in sight the entire staff of the operating and clerical departments were gathered on the gallery and stood with uncovered beads nutil tbe hearse went from view. There were a number of floral de some ox tnem particularly significant. The operators handle a great mass of Associated Press matter each night, and when the tickers have ceased their tale of happenings throughout tbe world, the ohief writes the figure "30." This means "Finis." A large wreath inclosed a floral 80 and the initials B.

C. and was a beautiful way of saying "All is over." A large telegraphic key formed in flowers, and a harp, neariv as tall as stringed instruments famed in song, were among the otber tributes.

Our planters have been making the best use oi the good weather and any a bale of cotton has been gathered and many a stack of hay put up. Several soger planters have com menced grinding. Last week was thA that Messrs. A. A.

ana T. R. Lorio started their mill on tbe Helena plantation, and this week the mill on Ingleside. belonging to the Iew York Warehouse and Seoarity Company, and managed by Mr. Joeepl Lorio.

will start to grinding on the sweets. That excellent F. O. Lieux. who manages the Monmouth Grand Bay plantation, which is situated next to Hermitage, commenced cuttin cane on Monday, and will start tbe mill towards the end of this week.

All of these places have magnificent crops; the J'ield per acreage will be given soon as earned. A Saturday and Sunday nights seemed both cold enough for frost, but tbe earliest risers have failed to report seeing friend Jack. 4 Since Monday tbe weather has moderated and the clouds now threaten rain. A good shower would be welcome by all exoepting those who bave cotton white their fields. Just now the dust in the Ttniitm mads is very deep and makes hauling very heavy and travel ing unpleasant.

All the publio cotton gins throughout the parish are kept very bnsy now from early morn till late at night, although there are many planters and farmers who will not atop picking in order to haul to the gin. The general health of the pansh is now good, and the physicians claim they hare little to do. The different merchants throughout the parish are now beginning to get in their fall stock of goods. In this tbey were delayed for a oou pie of weeks by the absurd reports of yellow fever and by quarantine. Our Deo Die here are beginning to be jealons of tbe fact that the gifted uatbance Cole." of tbe Picayune, naa published accounts other trips through so many of the parishes of the state and has thus far aDnarentlv slighted Pointe Coupee, one of tbe oldest parishes of the state, and which can present not only beautiful scenery, but can also furnish many evidences of progress which are deserving of notice.

It is really to be hoped that tbe best of all correspond ents will soon make us a visit and give at least a week or two through tbe parish, beginning at New Roads, tbe Sarish seat which is situated on the anks of La Belle Fausse riviere, one of the most beautif ul spots in Louisiana so far as natural scenery is concerned, and from here making excursion trips to the island, the Chenal, Grosse Tete, bayou Fordoche, New Texas, Racconrci, Old river, Smithland, Red River Landing, bayous Latauaohe and Litsworth, and the great Atchafalava. of which the United States government proposes to raise the bottom many feet by system of dams! By all means let the lady come here, and let our people have tbe opportunity of seeing themselves in print as pictured by her. J. W. The Great Architect.

Some Glimpses from His Very nary Life. F. G. S. Bryce bas been writing in a fascinating way of Henry Hobson Richardson, tbe Louisiana lad who became Boston's greatest architect, in the Springfield Republican.

It is a little more tban ten years, says tbe author, since Brookline lost a notable personage, whose passing away may well turn out to be of worldwide significance. In a curious, rambling bonse or collection of bouses there bad lived and worked a taiL dark-bearded man of distinguished bearing, to whom twenty-five years of devotion to his profession had brought nnoommon fame, a tremendous increase in weignx and predestined death by a slow aod painful disease. Tbe man was au accepted art Messiah. He was tbe chief inspiration of a new era in a noble calling, whose ranks were beginning to fill with highly-trained young men nil of aerioos love for their art. His strange and beautiful home and workrooms were the Mecca of high and low of those who delighted to call themselves his followers.

Mneh as he should' have liked it. Richardson could not stay forever in He returned to America a few years alter tne close oz tne war. so ex- Satriated that it with difficulty resumed his mother-tongue. He at once sought employment, but fared poorly. He tried everything, even attempting to design chandeliers for the Tlffanys.

but tbe artistic status of tbe great American jewelers was not then snch aa to easily co-ordinate with the talent of this handsome, lordly young man. who with proud humility asked only for a obance to earn bis bread. He got into great pecuniary straits, owed his Brooklyn lanulady for board. wane wearing, as ne ssia to her in Poole's coats, without a dollar in bis The landlady, be it to her eternal blessing, was a sympathetic woman and nobly helped him in these times of supreme struggle, confidently giving him his regular moaning cup of black coffee, for whioh he specially asked as stimulant for the day's battle. Tbe way out of his troubles came at last.

Through the kindness of J. A. Rumrill of Springfield, who, -by the was one of his Harvard classmates and lifelong friends, be waa permitted to submit, in competition with other architects, designs for the Church oi tne unity in icoo. ax. itnmrui- was one of the building committee, the other members of which were an willing to give even a competitive chance to a person of norepatation and uncertain Kuinnll, however, so strongly advocated our hero's cause that a reluctant assent waa voted.

At tbe close of the competition, young Richardson journeyed np to Springfield to hear the fateful verdict, and, he stood waiting in hope and fear outside the committee's dodr until Mr. Rumrill came out and told him that his design had been adopted. He burst into tears, exclaiming: "That was all I wanted a chance i His success changed his mode of life. He had the generio southern nature, luxurious, lavish, aristocratic, aelf- oen tered. ne ngutiy proclaimed to all seeking his services a high tariff of fees, gradually enlarged his office wjiich was joined with bis home, till it became a wilderness of offices, rented bv a tribe of enthusiastic draughtsmen for whose instruction bis splendid library and collections were brought together, and for whose relaxation tennis courts were provided, and who.

when they bad to work late, were soothed, we are told, by champagne suppers. His studios became veritable art moseuins, the master himself ransacking Europe for photographs for his beloved assistants, who in their turn adored him as the Old Guard adored the Little Corporal. Clients and corporations sought him. His time grew to be as precious as rubies, he became a monarch, dominating pupils, clients and the whole order of beings and things which pertain to a great architect's otace witu a magnificent despotism, eager aud thankful for the homage loyally paid him, untiring and ambitious past belief. He made plenty of money and spent vast sums.
