LOOKS Litt PEACE Arbitration Proposition At Chicago Begins to Receive More Favor. Peace Negotiations Looking to an Amicable Adjustment of Streetcar Strike Are in Progress. Outlook for a Settlement by Arbitration Is Now Decidedly s'lattering. Chicago. Nov. 18. —Pec.ce negotiations looking to an amicable settlement of the struggle between the man agement of the Chicago City railway and its striking employee have been begun and the indications now are that both sides to the controvresy will agree to submit their differences to arbitration. After a conference which lasted several hours, between Mayor Carter H. Harrison, the officials of the company and the special aldermanic peace commission appointed by Mayor Harrison at the direction of the city council, followed another meeting in which President Mahon of the Amalga mated Association of Street Railway Employes and his legal advisers took part. Mayor Harrison declared that the outlook for a settlement of th* strike by arbitration was decidedly flattering "I was agreeably surprised at the conciliatory attitude displayed by both sides to the controversy.” said he. "and we made more progress at our first meeting than I had anticipated.” He declined to enter into the details of the discussion that took pl-ce. but

it is significant that a further conference with the railway officials was ar ranged. The object of the meeting was to bring the two sides to a point where arbitration Is possible. This the mayor believes has been accomplished Despite the promising outlook for a peaceable ending of the trouble in the near future, the management of the road today renewed their efforts to break the strike An effort was made today to open another of the branches of the system This attempt was made on the electric line running through Indiana avenue, and makes a total of three branches that have been opened for traffic since the inception of the strike last Thursday. The other important developments In the strike were: A petition was filed in the superior court asking that a receiver be appointed for the Chicago City Railway company and challenging the company's right to operate its lines on the ground that its franchises expired last July and that the 99-year act claim i« invalid. Five trains consisting of a grip car and trailer, each operated on the Cottage Grove avenue cable line with a guard of 1.000 policemen. Twentyfive cp.rs operated on the Wentworth aven: j line tinder a guard of less than 400 policemen. A crowd last evening attacked a wagon bearing provisions for non-un-ion men which was bound for the Ar cher avenue car barns The crowd cut the horses loose, overturned the wagon and threw the contents into the river. By the time the police ar rived the mob had scattered.

WILL STAND TRIAL Senator Dietrich Will Waive Hls Constitutional Right. Washington. Nov. 18. —Senator Diet- - rich called on Attorney General Knox , and had a conference with him regarding the case of District Attorney Summers and the trial of the charge of conspiracy and bribery against the senator in connection with the appointment of Postmaster Fisher. The senator said he intended to go to Nebraska to stand trial, but felt that his case would be prejudiced if District Attorney Summers has charge of the prosecution. As a result of the talk with the attorney general, the latter will have a consultation with the president about the case, and it is probable that Mr. Summers will be relieved from the conduct of the Dietrich prosecution and that some attorney from the department of justice at Washington will be detailed to manage the prosecution. The question of Summers' retention in office also came up, but it cannot be learned that any promise was made by the attorney general in the matter. Senator Dietrich when asked what course he would pursue in view of the action of the federal grand jury at Omaha, yesterday said: “The charge that I had accepted, directly or indirectly, money or anything of value for my influence in securing the appointment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster at Hastings. Neb., is absolutely false. I shall waive the protection afforded a senator by the constitution while congress is in session and shall go to Nebraska and insist on an immediate trial, with perfect confidence that my innocence will be established."
