The read affected is the Metropottimn Street Railroad Com pany, which irovereea the residential part of tlhe etty and communicates wtth the caplM. The strike took place about 4 p. an. today, at the dime of the heavtcatl traffic, when HwuaanijB of govern moat employes were leaving the various executive deportments for their trainee. It was brought about by a no tification given the drivers and oon- duotors last night ghat their wages would he cut down from $2.03 par day to $1,418. Further than this, the men have a grievance with regard tto“tlie .number of bourn they work. Twelve hours Is supposed to constitute a day’s work, but the men claim .that they are compelled to work ’from thirteen to fourteen hours -without relief or inter- mtwton, oh tin* privilege of leaving the oar even five minutes for meals or for any other purpose. Toe strikers have the full sympathy of Washington people. • tv. Same years ago congress enacted a Vow providing llhat 'this and other com panies dispense with horses and pro vide some other motive power. The other chief railroad compiled with 4he oondltion, but the Metropolitan Com pany vm vurioua pretexts secured an extension of rime. Senator Hale and others roundly denounced the company In the senate, and congress made It obligatory on rite company to change Its motive power .within a fetv manlths. The oxpcnHe entailed by 'tb*> change Is one of rite reasons given by the com pany for taking the cost out of rite wages of their employes. At 5 o'clock all the streets traversed by the road were blockaded with dri verless airs. The president of the com pany eame to the scene, and by threats and cajolements attempted ,to get the cars going. The police were brought Into play, and one or two cars were started by thetr aid. After they had been moved, the crowd, beqqme some what disorderly and surged around the leading car until the police used main force to dear the streets. A patrol wagon was called :.out, and driven through the street to keep a clear way. Throe stalwart booking men rushed up to the front car, placed their shoulders to the rear, platform anil lifted It off the track, then disappeared in the crowd. 'This seemed, to be a signal for more such work. All the way down the line cazu were lifted from tile track and placed at various angles until tile climax waa reached at Thirteenth and B’ streets,* where oue catr was hauled' directly >,across the street. Tho crowds wero.all .with tho strikers, and when President PhlHIps appeared along the tracks, he was greeted with hoots and Jeers. The road remained blocked for sev eral hours, when, finding .that the men could not be prevailed upon to con tinue their tripe, the oars wtre returned to the burns. Date tonight .a conference was held boween the strikers and railroad of ficers and an agreement was reached. Tile men compromised on $1.75 per day of twelve hours for a day's work. All tho strikers will bo taken back. The line will resume Its operation tomor row morning ns usual, s. : .. t . . ■ UIOtilflTI'S DOOUJfBNTB. The Surprising Detitvina Will Bo Pub lished IVxlay.

All this made the boys wrathy, and they set to work to And out the name of the correspondent. Having traced the matter down to their satisfaction, the Senior class called a meeting yesterday afternoon and one of their members, Air. C t . E. Brand, was charged with being the correspondent. Mr. Brand admitted that fie wrote some of the articles, but denied others, say ing that they were furnished by other persons. He defended himself on the charge and said he had no desire to act In any way displeasing to his classmates and that in what he had written there was no Intention of wrong, If any wrong really had been dOife. Tho meeting was a lively one and .some sharp things were said vhiah may yet bring on a personal encounter. The result of the meeting was that the class denounced the Looking Glass as a scurrilous sheet and referred Mr. Brand to the faculty for a settlement. The faculty will take up this matter at the next regular meeting next Tuesday afternoon and the outcome of the affair will be watched with Interest. (HORTITCUI/TXJRAIj BUILDING.

"Possibly you do not tnko good caro of it,” ventured tho Jeweler, closely regard ing tho Interior of tho watch. "Oh, yes, I do. 1 wind It nearly ovory night, and I nearly always remember to take It out of- lny pocket when I take off my dress.
