Philadelphia, Dec 26. The great trolly strike is ended. This is the final. John Waunamaker is the man who brought about the settlement He was aided by members of the Chirstian League. The basis of the settlement Is as follows: First While the Union Traotion Company will treat only with the workmen in its employ, it will allow them membership in any lawful organ ization. Second It will take up their greiv ances and give them full and fair con sideration. Third It will immediately put on the old men as fast as vacancies arise; will give preference to any of the old men yet unemployed, and endeavor to arrange the trips of the cars to favor the old men as far as possible without violating its contract with the new men. The questions of compensation and hours are left for future determina tion. Concessions were made by both sides. The battle has been mainly fought on the question of the employes' member ship in the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes, which the company has persistently refused to recognise.

It being gen erally understood that the ways and means committee would not be pre pared to report its bill for the relief of the treasury situation before Friday, the attendance in the house today was comparatively small. Mr. Dingley, chairman of the ways and means committee, said the com mittee met this morning and unani monsly deoided, in view of the presi dent's message, that it was not appro priate for the house to adjourn until a proper response had been made. un jfrioay, he contnued, "we hope the house will make a response to the urgent request of the president and take some action which will relieve the situation in which the country finds itself." Beach of Ohio will introduce in the house tomorrow a bill providing that duties imposed by the tariff laws of the United States shall not apply to food products and raw materials from suoh nations as may make equivalent reciprocal concessions in favor of nier ohandise imported from the United States. Washington, Deo. 27. The two bills to be presented to the house for action and their text are as follows: No. 1 "A bill to maintain and pro teot the coin redemption fund, and to authorize for the resumption of specie payments," the issue of certificates of indebtedness to meet the temporary de ficiencies of revenue. "Be it enacted, etc., that in addition to the authority given to the secretary of the treasury by the aot approved January 14, 1875, entitled 'An aot to Provide for the Resumption of Specie Payments, he ia authorized from time to time, at his discretion, to issue, sell and dispose of, at not less than par, in coin, coupon or registered bonds of the United States to an amount sufficient for the object stated in this section, bearing not to exceed 3 per cent inter est per annum, payable semi-annually and redeemable at the pleasure of the United States in coin, after five years from their date, with like qualities, privileges and exemptions provided in said act for the bonds therein author' ized. "And the secretary of the treasury shall use the proceeds thereof for the redemption of United States legal tender notes, and for no other purpose.

Washington, Deo. 81. The house today passed the bond bill by a vote of 170 to 186; and the bouse, having dis charged the task for which it had been sitting during the recess, effected an agreement by which it should adjourn next week, three days at a time, in or der to give membres an opportunity to rest and visit their hemes. The clos ing hours of the debate today were lacking in spirit, and there was prac tically no excitement until the vote was taken. The margin of 84 by which the first section of the bill, against which the Republican opponents of the measure massed their opposition, was passed showed that the friends of the measure bad marshaled every vote in its favor available. As it was 47 Re publicans refused to act with the ma jority of their party. . The Populists and Democrats, with the exception of Hutchison, who voted for the bill, presented an unbroken front against the bill. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT. INSURGENT! ADVANCE THE CAPITAL CITY OF CUBA IMMINENT DANGER. IN Movement to Substitute the Popular Vote for the Electoral College. New York, Deo. 20. A local paper ,ys: T. M. Curtin, a cousin of the late Andrew Curtin, who was governor of Pennsylvania, and a relative of Jere miah Curtin, who for many years was connected with the United States lega tion at St. Petersburg, is preparing to spend f 100,000 to secure an amend ment to the constitution of the United States. Most of the money will come from Mr. Cnrtin's own pocket The balance will be given by two friends, who are earnest believers in his project and who have the utmost faith in his ability to accomplish his object Mr. Curtin and his private secre tary are at present visiting friends in this oity. The amendment to the con stitution for which Mr. Curtin is now working is the election of the presi dent by a popular vote instead of by a college of electors. After he has accomplished this, as he feels sure he will, he intends to work for a change by which United States senators will also be chosen by popular vote. 'Suoh a change, Mr. Curtin thinks, would be of great bene fit to the country and would prevent much injustice from wbioh the people are now suffering. ' As a first step toward bringing about the change, Mr. Curtin and his friends are about to establish a bureau in Washington through which an expression of opin ion as to the best man to he nominated for president by the leading parties will be secured. This bureau will be opened in a few days and will be at work until after the Democratic and Repulbican conventions. SHOULD THERE BE WAR. An Army of IS, 000 Inaurgent March on to Havana la Spite of the Effort of Captaln-Ueneral Marline de Campo A Cuban Victory. Havana, Deo. 27. Further details reached here today from Matanzas of the rapid advance of the insurgent army, numbering about 12,000 men, upon Havana after forcing ita way through . the province of Santa Clara and into the province of Matanzas, in spite of the efforts of Captain-General Martinez de Campos and about 8,000 troops at his disposal in the territory invaded. The reported important battle be tween the Spaniards under Campos and the insurgents at Coliseo plantation, twelve miles from Cardonas, does not appear to have been a very severe engagement Cardenas is a seaport, and quiet an important place for Cuba, of about 40,000 inhabitants. It is only twelve miles from Matanzas, the capi tal of the province of that name, and the largest town between Cardonas and Bavana. The Spanish forces do not appear to have encountered the main body of the insurgents, as at first announced. The fight at the Coliseo plantation was be tween a portion of the northern column of the insurgent columns, now pushing through the province of Matanzas, and instead of turning out to . be a great victory for the Spaniards, the result of the engugnement was virtually a de feat for Campos' forces, for the Cuban army pushed onward uuohecked, and is still advanoing on the city. The fighting took place amid burning cane, underwood, tall grass and trees, and was of the usual guerilla nature. At times both the troops and insur gents were surrounded by walls of flames, and the smoke was so dense over certain portions of the ground con tested that the Cubans and the troops were unable to see each other, and kept banging away at open space, wasting good ammunition. It is true that this indiscriminate ring was more noticed upon the part of the troops than on the sido of the insurgents, but for one in surgent killed, at least 2,000 shots mnst have been fired. The Cubans, following their customary tactics, seemed to melt away into the distance as soon as the troops got within fight ing distance of them, and nealry all the firing was at very long range, al though the soldiers made several gal lant charges through the burning tern tory. This style of fighting is termed a defeat for the insurgents, but as they succeeded in accomplishing their object holding the Spaniards in check while the Cuubns pushed on southward the result was really a Cuban victory. The captain-general was as near to the front as possible throughout the battle, encouraging the troops by words and actions. One of the captain-gen eral's orderlies, who was sitting on his horse beside Campos, received a bullet in his breast and fell to the ground badly wounded. The shot was, no doubt, intended for the Spanish oommander. THE VENEZUELA MATTER. Spirited Opinion Prom All Shadat of the American Pre. Chicago Chronicle.)

Lack of Uniformity In Small A rme and Signal Cod. Washington, Deo. 26. Lieutenant Niblock, in charge of the naval militia division of the navy department, has urgently called attention of the author ities to the serious inconvenience and confusion that is apt to arise in case our military and naval forces are called into joint action, as they must in de fensive war, growing out of the lack of uniformity in small arms and signal codes. The army is armed with the Kragg- Jorgenson rifle of thirty caliber, while the navy has contracted for a supply of Lee magazine rifles of twenty-three caliber, so that the same kind of ammunition will not serve both arms, and grave mistakes are apt to occur in issuing it to the men. Lieutenant Niblock suggests in the interest of the naval militia, as well as on broader grounds, that it would be well if the war and navy depart ments would settle as soon ss practic able by competitive tests, which is the best weapon, that of the army or that of the navy, and stop at once the mak ing of the less desirable arm. In the case of signal codes, there is a like conflict He said the army depart ment used the present naval code for twenty-five years, with the greatest success. When tne change was made the navy department followed, but after a fair trial was obliged to aban don the present army code, and return to the original code. The navy cannot use the army code. The army can and has used the present naval code. The Terrible Fate of Albert 8taub, Sauaage-Malter. Portland, Or., Deo. 27.

It is impossible to believe that twe- great civilized nations like Great Britian and the United States are go ing to war over a petty dispute of this kind that ought to have been settled by friendly adjustment years ago.
