EJ-EV.'XTEO'Tl'O.VWVAYfi. ' Another point tit difference is the amount the eompnny shall be nsscssed In the con struction and maintenance of elevated roadways occupied by the company. The city, in the ordinance submitted by the railway people, required theju to pay one half of the cost of the substructures and all of the covering used by them. The company considers this excessive and asks that It be required to pay for only one quarter of the substructure. This matter was considered quite fully, but no agree? meat was reached. The matter of compensation was not takei; up. The ordinance is being guarded with the Utmost secrecy and thn&c who have a copy absolutely refuse to show it. Another meeting will be held Monday evening to further Consider, the subject. THR MA YOU TALKS "What did Noil do at the conference J'esteirtiy nfternnon on the blanket fiur Jliise?

It takes supplies of all kinds to them, and those who luive al was been taught to believe that men aboard ships an kept in a half-starved condition, would be surprised i;i glancing over some of these orders. The seven '. ,ssels in port which still have lull crews take 30 pounds of fresh beef every day. In addition to a large supply of veget ables. The beef constats of the linest of porterhouse steak, roasts and boils, und crews are evidently living as well as the avt iuu'c working man on land.
