The Great Street Car Strike. A Loaded Anarchist Appears Upon the Scene. BROOKLYN, Jan. 25.-No decided change for the better was noticeable io the trolley ?trike situation to-day. The men and the companies are as far apart as ever aod there seems to be o o immediate prospect of either side wak? ening. President Lewis, of the Brooklyn Heights Comprit!y, claimed to-day that a dozen of his old hands had applied to him for their old positions and had been reinstated, and he expressed the opinion that this was the beginning of the end. as a general weakening in the strikers' ranks might now be expected. Strike leaders emphatically denied that any such break had occurred, deolariog their ranks were jost as solid now as when the trouble began. The strike of the linemen was materially extended to-day, as was evidenced by the difficulty with which the companies operated lines on which wires had been cnt or barned out. Early in the afternoon wires were cut at Fulton Street and Saratoga avenue on one of the main lines of the Brook? lyn Heights system. Although the company was immediately given ampie police and military protection, no Une? aten had appeared up to 6 o'clock this evening and no attempt had been made to repair the wires. As a consequence, that road bad been blocked ail the after? noon, and at present it iooks as if the j blockade would bold until morning. J The crowd about the neighborhood was large, but orderly and seemed to under? stand that the military are there for business. A number of other wire cuttings were reported during the day on the different lines, causing more or less trouble to tbe companies, bat this sort of warfare oo the part of the strik? ers or their sympathizers was not so ex? tensive as yesterday. The eastern district of Brooklyn, Ridgewood and Maspeth were the scenes of various disorder and violence to-day. Cars were held up and stoned and in several cases, pistol shots were fired at police. In the eastern district a mob of about 2,000 persons attacked seven stalled cars of the Flashing and Graham Avenue line at Briggs and Manhattan avenues at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon. After drawing off the motormen and conductors the men wrecked the cars completely. The mob then moved on to Bedford avenue, where it demolished six more ears belonging to the Cross Town road. It also cut the trolley wire for four blocks. The police charged the mob, which moved on toward Green poi ot. At Nostrand and Park avenue more ? cars were stalled. An attack was at? tempted on them. For nearly an hour the police plied their clubs continually. The mob refused to move, but after several charges, edged off. There was no militia in that section of the city Father O'Hara of St. Anthony's church bad assured Mayor Scbieern that be would undertake to keep order in that i part of the city. This afternoon he was summoned to the scene of disorder to use his influence in quieting the mob. The mob, numbering several ' thousand, had mr rou nd ed a car and was shouting for the motorman to de- \ sert. Then he refused to do. Father | O'Hara pushed his way through the j crowd, and jumping on board the car, j offered the motorman a ?10 bill to ? leave in order to restore peace. The motorman took the money and departed. This act was received with cheers and , order was gradually restored. Just at that moment Father O'Hara received a message from Mayor Schieren, in which the mayor said if order was not maintained in Greenpoint be would be compelled to send the militia there. The priest read this message aloud, and then appealed to his auditors to disperse. He told them of his assur? ance to Mayor Schieren, and he hoped that the people would assist him in keeping order. Shortly afterward a mob at Bedford avenue and the Bashwick creek bridge tore down the trolley wires and were j about to attack a half dozed stalled j cars when the police and a detachment j of Troop A. hove in sight The green motormen had deserted the ears, and a patrol wagon with oth? ers were brought from the car stable. When they saw the crowd they re? fused to alight from the wagon and were taken back. The police and sol-1 diers are guardiog the stalled cars. Special Police He-ban, while rid? ing on a car oo Manhattan avenue, was shot at by some one in the crowd The bullet grazed the officer's bead. Prior to the shootiog the car bad been stoned and every glass in it shattered. Late this afternoon, a car from Newton, [ containing forty non-union men, was held up near Maspe'h and a number ! of the men were induced to join the ! strikers. A detachment of the Seventh regiment from Ridgewood, assisted by the police, captured a few of the non anion men and took them to the Mas- j peth station of the Brooklyn Heights 1 Company. The strikers claim that thirty men deserted, joined them and were sent to their bornes in other cities, j In Ridgewood, a Gates avenue car ! was held up at Gatea and Hamburg avenues this afternoon. Thc crowd ! tried to overturn the car, but were dis- ! persed by details of the Seveoth regi ment and the Sixty-ninth battalion Two women on the car were badly frightened. No arrests were made. At the corner of Gates aod Evergreen avenues this morning, a motorman the Greene and Ga'es lines was str with a stooe thrown from the crowd the corner of Evergreen avenue knocked down. He recovered sho and took bis car, with several wind broken, to tbe end of the jourc These were the chief disorders of day and occurred practically in ihe s urbs of the city. In the city prc outside of the ?r:re cutting, the disc ers reported were practically of a a or character. Rumors of dynamite were current day. An alleged bomb was found the trolly tracks at Fulton street Flatbush Avenue. A man who fa: to give his name, carried tae bc to the first precinct station hot The suspiciuos looking thing was once sent to superintendent of pol: Campbell, who with some alarm, h ried it to the navy yard for the exp* there to make an examination. C< mander Elmer of the Ordoance Dep ment, turned the supposed deadly plosive over to Gunner James Ha and Lieutenant Commander Ham The alleged bomb was one and one-t inches thick and five inches in len] It was cylinder shaped, weigl twc pounds and had a metallic ca covered with Japanese black. A lc cotton fuse protuded from one et The gunner first tried, to explode it the use of tbe "slow match," but f ed. Then a fire was built and tbe leged torpedo placed in it. After h an hour's wait, it refused to exploi Another fire was built and the outs: of tbe cylinder saturated witb oil. was placed in the second fire, this ti; for the purpose of melting the case a thus explode any destroying propert that might be inside it. After anotl half hour's wait, no explosion to place, and the navy officials came the conclusion that the thing wa; hoax. Commander Elmer said he woe have a more thorough examin?t! made ?B the morning and report to t police John Strong was held in the L Avenue Court. Williamsburg, to-d on a charge of carrying conceal weapons The police think be is dangerous anarchist. Special Offic Tammany found Strong at an ear hour this rooming acting in asuspicio manner in the vicinity of Grand Stre on Diggs avenue. His answers questions did not suit Tammany, wi locked him uo. When searched at tl station, Tammany nearly fainted whe he found tuat his prisooer bad sma dynamite bombs and a large lozde revolver in his pockets. **I wanted to make things pleasant f< somebody," he said when asked that ? intended to do with the bombs. The were placed io pails of water in th Bedford avenue station. Strong seea unconcerned when arraigned in coui and told Justice Goetting that be di not care what became of him. He re fused to say if he was concerned in tb strike, either through sympathy or b employment. Judge Gaynor said late to-nigh that his decision in regard to th form of writ to issue will not b handed down until to-morrow mon. ing The board of arbitration am mediation has returned from Alban; in response to the resolution adopt ed by the Legislature and will a once take hold of the situation. Tin board has located itself at the Rote St. George and sent subpoenas t< Mayor Schieren, Gen. McLeer, Presi dents Lewis, Xorton and Wicker tlx members of the strike committee anc others who can give them informa? tion about what is going on. The board will also attempt to bring the warring factions together. The hear ing was begun this afternoon. The companies began shutting down their lines at dark On some lines, one or two cars were ruu an hour or two after dark. On Butler street, a car was stoned and one on Flatbush avenue had a window smash? ed There were other interferences and at 9 o'clock no more cars were sent out. As on other nights, when the cars ceased to run, disturbances came to an end and quiet settled over the city. Mayor Schieren drove to police headquarters at 9 o'clock to-night and held a secret conference with Commissioner Welles and Superin? tendent Campbell. They were in? formed by the presidents of the three systems affected by the strike, that presumably in anticipation of the writ of mandamus, all lines are to be operated to -morrow. Thev knew that 6uch an attempt would mean plenty of trouble. The mayor declined to discuss the nature of the conference. When it was over, all police cap? tains were summoned to headquar? ters at midnight, lt is suppose?! they expected concerted action in the wire cutting line between mid? night and morning and were ordered to prevent it if possible. They were also instructed as to their duties in case attempts were made by the companies to open all lines in the morning. A portion of the Seventh Regiment is under marching orders ai>d it is supposed that they are to be moved to Greeupoint, Erie Basin and other | danger points in the morning. The cars were moved on several new lines, and baning numerous ac? cidents, the companies made a good showing to-day. But the end is not yet. The wires of the Ralph avenue line were cut at the junction of Ful? ton street at 8:10 p m The cutting was done in the presence of 100 men aud boys who, however, showed that they approved of the proceedings. ( Neither policeman nor soldier was sight and the wire cutters proceedi with their performance without tl least apparent apprehension of arref BROOKLYN, Jan. 28.-The strike practically surrendered to the corn pani this afternoon. A formal statement the public was issued by the executi committee and the meo tendered th? services to the presidents for $2 p day for motormen and conductors ai $1.50 per day for trippers. The terms have never been in dispute. T men say that the move is made io t interest of .public safety and quiet ai that the non-acceptance of their o? will be followed by application f peremptory mandamus against all linc The following letters were given o by the executive committee by tl Knights of Labor, D. A. 75 this afte noon : BROOKLYN, N. Y., Jan. 28, 1895. To the Public : We have this day sent to Messrs. ] F. Lewis, Benjamin F. Norton aod I M. Wicker, representing the diff?re systems of street railways which ha' ceased operations in the city of Broo lyn, the subjoined letter, which speal I for itself. We will add that we bai j made this offer, not because the stril Mas waning or our cause weakening never was stronger-but in the iute ests of Brooklyn, our home, aod i citizens, our friends, we are willing make the sacrifice suggested in the le ter. Martin J. Connolly, John Giblin, P. J. Collins, Andrew D. Best BROOKLYN, N. Y., Jan. 23. 1895. Benjamin F. Norton, Esq., Presidei of the Atlantic Avenue Railroa Company : Dear Sir : I am instructed by th representatives of all the employes < the Atlantic Railroad Company, inclue ing iiueojeo, who were in the service < the company on the 13th day of Jam ary, 1895, to offer you their service upon the same term and scale of wage obtained in January 1894, which wa= as you know, ?2 a day for motortue and conductors having full day cars an not. iess than ?1.50 a day for motorme and conductors having trippers 1 these terms are accepted, the committe will meet you and arrange to resum work wtthin six hours. In conclusion, permit me to observ that though this is a great concessioi on the part of the employes of the com pany, they are willing to make it ii he interests of the public, who have been great sufferers from this contre versy existing between the corporatioi and its men. I have sent a similar let ter fo the president of the Brooklyi Heights Railroad CompaDy and to Mr Wickers, the representative of th< Brooklyn, Queens County and Subur ban Company, Martin J. Connolly. The action of the strikers in offering to return without the many stipulations which their former offers have con? tained, is generally considered a sur? render. The strikers say it is not, and intimate that applications for peremp? tory mandamus will follow a refusal from the presidents At 12:20 o'clock this afternoon, a gang of strikers held up a car of the Nostrand avenue line at the Boulevard A detail of police was 6ent to the scene and three of the strikers were arrested. Brigadier General James M. Var nuro, paymaster general on Governor Morton's staff, to-day sent a communi? cation to County Treasurer Adams, of Kings county, stating that he held Kings county accountable for the ex? penses incurred by the National Guard of the State during the strike. Forty deputy sheriffs, who bave been working under Sheriff Dohl at Maspeth preserving order at the car stables, struck at 12 o'clock to-day No cars were run from Mas pe th to-day. The Nioeteeth and Eighteenth bat? talions of the first brigade, who have been doing guard duty here for the past week, received orders this after? noon to start for home. The Seventh, Seventy-first and the First battery, all of the First brigade, went home this morning, being the first troops released from strike duty. The situation to-day was much im? proved. The lines which have been opened during the past few days were all running, and with more cars than ou any day since the strike was begun. Three new lines were open this morn? ing. The companies apparently gain steadily in the number of new men and is but a question of a few days ap? parently when normal traffic will be re? sumed There was less wire cutting during the night and less stoning of cars this forenoon. The strikers still stubbornly refuse, however, to admit that they : are beaten. They held the ground well and less than one hundred men out of j the original 6,000 men have returned to work. The problem that now remains ; is to run the cars at night. There is no certainty that the withdrawal of troops will not be followed by increas? ed disturbances, and even in the day time the police are either incapable or do not desire to prevent interferences with the wires and cars of the compa? nies. But few arrests have been made. The stone throwers did not hit policemen except, in rare cases and then hy ac? cident, aod the policemen do not arrest stone throwers except in rare instan? ces. The presence of a militiaman with a gun on the platform invariably saves the car and passengers from damage. How long the troops are to remain and do police duty is not decided. Police Comm?8sianer Welles has ? sworn in 700 special policemen. About 100 of these have resigned. The spe? cials are the targets for stones and abuse, and seldom make an arrest. Wire cutting during the night was reported on the Grand Street line, the Nostrand line, Flatbush avenue line, Flushing avenue line and the Tomp? kins avenue line The electric light wires, leading info the depot of tbe Crosstown line at Erie Basin, were cut during the night, leaving the depot in darkness. This region is one of the toughest in Brook? lyn and no cars have penetrated it io two weeks. Cars were ruo to-day on the Second avenue line to Fort Hamil? ton. The line was opened yesterday. The Lorimer street line resumed opera? tion for the first time this morning. Ten cars were in operation at noon. The Union avenue line from city line to 23rd street ferry was also opened this morning, ten cars being pat on. THEY SHOT TO KILL. BROOKLYN, Jan. 28-Two men were shot by policemen io different encoun? ters with mobs today. One man is dy? ing in the hospital. The other is less seriously wounded. A dozen other riot? ers have been injured by policemen's night sticks and the but end of revol? vers in hand-to-hand encounters. Non? union motormen have been assaulted and severely beaten. Car tracks have been blockaded, car windows shattered, and trolly wires cut. These occurren? ces have been less frequent than during the days of last week, but they indicate that the safety of the public is far from being estabiisbed. The man who was fataly shot was Michael Madigan, a striking motorman. The shooting oe curred within two blocks of the Nos? trand Avenue barns, and was precipitat? ed by a riotuous mob. Car No. 3105 of the Nostrand Avenue line, with Motor? man Mahoney, Conductor Dell and in charge of Officer Roberts, was attacked by the mob on Nostrand Avenue, just back of the Kings county penitentiary. Seeing only one policeman on the plat? form, the mob became very bold and or? dered the conductor and motorman to desert. When they refused, the mob stoned the car and bad pretty nearly finished the solitary policeman and mo? torman and conductor, when the police reserves-ten men arrived. The mob gave the policemen a pitched battle. Shooting over their heads did no good and at last the officers shot to kill. Then the mob ran, leaving Madigan on the ground and half a dozen of his friends prisoners. PITCHED IT IN THE WASTE BASKET. President Norton, of the Atlantic road, when he received the letter from Master Workmen Connelly published above, pitched it into the waste bas? ket. The presidents of the Brooklyn Heights Company and of the Queens County Company replied by offering to employ as individuals, such of the strikers as they could find places for. None of the presidents treated the letter as of any consequence. Gold Withdrawals. NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-There were withdrawn from the sub-Treasury to? day for exports tomorrow, ?4,750,000 ingold coin; and $1,000,000 gold bul? lion was purchased fi om the assay office at a slight premium and was deposited in the Mercantile Safe De? posit Company and will not be ex? ported. Total for the week $12,030, 000. The treasury officiais decline to state the amount of premium paid for the gold. There was a report in Wall Street in the afternoon, that a formal call for subscription to $50,000,000 five per j cent, bonds would be issued Monday. I It was said that the administration j had decided not to wait for action of I Congress regarding 3 per cent, bonds as the heavy withdrawals of gold 1 were too formidable a factor in the ; situation. The gold balance of the treasury is now about ?57,500,000. The lowest balance on record was ! on August 1894. when it was $52.- i 189,000 Help for the Helpless. e State received yesterday, through Mr. Chas. A.

Our correspondent states that he is authorized to guarantee lOO bushels of corn and will try to raise 300 bushels towards a carload to be sent to the starving people of the blighted district. This is a handsome beginning and The State will receive aod forward any con? tributions that may be made to the re? lief fund.

Native Red Rust Proof Seed Oats for sale by VT. M. Graham. Cleveland on Finance. He Recommends a Large Is? sue of Bonds, and the Retirement of Legal Tender Notes. WASHINGTON*, Jan. 27.-The Presi? dent to-day sent to Congress his special message on the financial situ? ation, as follows : To the Senate and the House of .Rep? resentatives : In my last annual message, I commended to the serious consider? ation of Congress the condition of our National fiuance, and in con? nection with the subject endorsed the plan of currency legislation which at that time seemed to furn? ish protection against impending danger. This plan has not been approved by the Congress. In the meantime, the situation has so changed and the emergency now appears so threatening, that I deem it my duty to aBk at the hands of the legislative branch of the govern? ment such prompt and effective action as will restore confidence in our financial soundness and avert business disaster and universal dis? tress among our people. Whatever may be the merits of the plan outlined in my annnal message as a remedy for ills then existing and as a safeguard against the depletion of the gold reserve then in the Treasury, I am now convinced that its reception by Congress and our present advanced stage of advanced perplexity neces? sitate, additional or different legis? lation. The President lays dewr. the propo-1 sition that we are suffering from the results of a false financial policy and that the real trouble which confronts us consists in a lack of confidence, widespread and constantly increas? ing, in the continuing ability or disposition of the government to pay i its obligations The only way, he ; says, left open to the government for procuring gold is by the issue and sale of its bonds payable specifically in gold. The most dangerous and irritat? ing feature of the situation. Mr. Cleveland says, is found in the means by which the Treasury is despoiled of the gold thus obtained without cancelling a single govern? ment obligation, and solely for the ben . it of those who find profit in shipping it abroad or whose fears induce them hoard it at home. We have outstanding about $500, 000,000 of currency notes of the gov? ernment for which gold may be de? manded ; and curiously euough the law requires that when presented, and in fact, redeemed and paid in gold, they shall be reissued. Thus the! same notes may do duty many times in drawing gold from the Treasury; nor can the process be arrested as long as private parties, for profit or otherwise, see an advantage in re? peating the operation. The aggravations that must inevi? tably follow the present conditions and methods wiil certainly lead to misfortunes and loss, not only to our National credit and prosperity and financial enterprise, but to those of our people who seek employment as a means of livelihood and to those whose capital is their daily labor. It will hardl}- do to say that a simple increase of revenue will cure our \ troubles with the apprehension now ! existing and constantly increasing, as j our financial ability does not rest1 upon a calculation of our revenue. I cannot see that difierences of op-1 iniou concerning the extent to which ! silver ought to be coined or used in j our currency should interfere with the counsels of those whose duty it is to rectify evils now appa? rent in our financial situation. ? They have to consider the ques- ; tion of National credit and the con sequences that will follow from its ! collapse. Whatever ideas may be insisted upon as to silver or bi metalism, the proper solution of the question now pressing upon uson'Iy i requires a recognition of gold, as well as silver, and a concession of? its importance, rightfully or wrong- j fully acquired, as a basis of Na tiona] credit-a necessity of an i honorable discharge of our obliga- j tions payable in gold and a badge of solvency. I do not understand that the real friends of silver desire a condition j that might follow inaction or ne- j gleet to appreciate the meaning of j the present exigency, if it should i result in the entire banishment of; gold from our financial and curren? cy arrangments. While I am not unfriendly to silver, j and while I desire to see it recognized \ to such an extent as is consistent with | the financial safety and preservation of National honor and credit, I am not willing to see gold entirely abolished from our currency and finances. To avert such a consequence, I believe thorough and radical remedial legisla? tion should be promptly passed. I therefore ask Congress to give the subject immediate attention. In my opinion, the Secretary of the Treasury should be authorized to is<ue bonds of the government for the purposes of pro? curing and maintaining a sufficient gold reserve ard for the redemption and cancellation of the United States \ legal tender notes and the Treasury! notes issued for the purchase of silver] under the law of July 14, 1890. We should be relieved from the humiliating process of issuing bonds to procure gold, to be immediately drawn oat on these obligations for purposes not related to our government or our peo? ple. The principal and interest of these bonds should be payable on their face in gold, because they should be ?sold only for gold or its representative and because there would now be difiiculty in favorably disposing of bondu not containing this stipulation. I Biggest that the bonds be used in denominations of twenty and fifty dollars and their multiples, and that they bear interest at a rate not exceeding 3 per cent, per annum. I do not see why they should not be payable fifty years from their date. We, cf the present generation, have large amounts to pay if we meet our obligations, and long bonds are most saleable. The Secretary of the Treasury might well be permitted at his discretion to receive on the sale of bonds legal tender and Treasury notes to be retired, and of course when they are thus retired or redeemed in gold, they should be canc3?ed. These bonds under existing laws could be deposited by National Danks as security for circulation, and such banks should be allowed to issue: cir? culation up to the face value of these or any other bonds deposited, except bonds outstanding bearing only 2 per cent, interest and which sell in the mar i ket at less than par. National banks i should not be allowed to take out circu? lating notes of a less denomination than $10, and when such as are outstanding reach the Treasury, except for redemp? tion and retirement, they should be cancelled and notes of the denomina? tion of ?10 and upwards issued in their stead. Silver certificates of thc de? nomination of ?10 and upwards should be replaced by certificates of denomina? tions under $10. As a constant means for the main tainance of a reasonable supply of gold in the Treasury, our duties on imports should be paid in all gold, allowing all other dues to the government to be paid in any other form of money. I believe all the provisions I have suggested should be embodied in our laws if we are to enjoy a corcplete reinstatement on a sound financial condition. They need not interfere with any currency scheme provided for the increase of the circulating medium, through the agency of National, or State banks, since they can easily be adjusted to such a scheme. In eoe du sic J, I desire fran's ly to confess my reluctance to issuing more bonds in present circumstances and with no better results than have lately followed that course I cannot, how? ever, refrain from adding to an assur? ance of much axiety to co-op3rate with the present Congress in any rea? sonable measure of relief, an expres? sion of my determination to leave Cloth? ing undone which furnishes a hope for improving the situation or checking a suspicion of our disinclination or disability to meet with the strictest honor every national obligation.
