NUMBER
STRIKERS AT WAR
Brooklyn Companies Unable
to Operate Cars.
MORE WIRES CUT LAST NIGHT
A Battle Reported Between tbe Strik
ing Carmen and tbe Beventh Reg
iment, in East Sew York.
)
Brooklyn, Jan. 22. There was an
unusual calm this morning at tbe Alabama-avenue
station, bnt tbe Fulton
avenue line conductors were atoned.
Each stable is crowded with tired sol
diers. Outside in the fog, where they
could see nly three paces before them,
pickets haltr-l every passer-by to know
his business. Tbey were in no humor
for nonsense, and it was with ill grace
that they stood the fueilade of missiles
hurled from the impenetrable darkness.
While they did not make an open
manifestation, tbe mobs busied them
. selves with cutting wires on Gates and
Myrtle avenues. On Gates avenue, be
tweeu Knickerbocker and Central ave
.. nues, they cut the wires and carrif-l
them away. At Flatbush it was disco
ered that a man had made his way into
the stable and attempted to bribe the
new men here to desert their posts an
der the promise of being weli paid for
staying away from work. It was dis
covered that some other miscreant had
tampered with the motor-boxes of some
of the cars. He was discovered in the
stables and fought like a demon, and
finally made his escape.
. Every precaution is being taken to
prevent any stranger from entering the
power-houses, as there have been threats
that the 6table and power-houses would
be blown up. The companies are still
farther hampered by the refusal of line'
men to repair cut wires.
After midnight last night a non-nnion
motorman named O'Neill was knocked
down and kicked until almost uncon
scions. He was then bound hand and
foot with wire, carried into an empty
let and kept there until daylight- His
fetters were then removed and he was
escorted to the Broadway ferry. His
fare was paid, and he was told not 'to
return under a penalty of worse treat
ment next time.
Saloons in the neighborhood of the
car stables are crowded with strikers and
friends.
Two boys were badly injured by being
trampled upon by the strikers in the
conflict between the soldiers and rioters
last night at Ridgewood. The compa
nies are still unable to secure new men
to run all their cars, and it is not mo
pected that any more cars will be run'
ning today than yesterday.
Col. Appleton has ordered bis men
when assaulted henceforth to respond
point blank with lead. '
Another conference between Briga
dier-General McAleer, Mayor Schieren,
and the executive committee of the
strikers and the presidents of the rail'
road companies will be held today.
This afternoon Presidents Lewis, Nor
ton and Wicker say that the outlook is
brighter for the resumption of normal
travel on their lines. I hey made a
slight gain this morning in the number
of cara 'operated, but did not succeed in
starting cars aB promptly and quietly as
Ihey planned to do last night. Presi
dent Norton did, however, run cars on
three lines which have been closed since
the strike was begun. The cut wires
and the refusal of linemen to make re
pairs prevents Presidents Lewis and
Wicker from Btarting new lines. They
made an improved showing on lines
operated yesterday, but on only a half
dozen lines out of a total of 46 lines af
fected was there anything like resump
tion of normal traffic.
The first disturbance of the morning
was in tnn vicinity ot tne f my-eignt
street and Third avenue stables, where
the strikers made an attack on a wagon
containing a motorman and a conductor,
on their way to the stables. A howling
mob followed the vehicle, jeering and
throwing missiles of all kinds at tbe
men. By tbe time the wagon reached
the stables a mob of nearly 1,000 had
gathered, and the situation looked quite
threatening..
At thiB point officers in command of
Lthe troops were ordered to charge, and
. the streets were soon cleared. During
the charge a shot was fired, but no one
hurt.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon a mob
at Buffalo avenue attacked a Fulton
street-car..-Troop A, under the com
mand of Lieutenant Eagley, came to the
assistance of the police, and the strikers
were dispersed.
The cars of the Broadway line have
stopped on account of tbe cutting of
wires at Rockaway avenue. A large
crowd has congregated there. Captain
Gorman and a wagon load of policemen
have gone to the scene of the trouble.
Several other brushes between the police
and strikers occurred.
' It is reported that the seventh regi
ment is having a fierce fight with strik
ers in East New .York. It is reported
several soldiers have been injured. The
strikers are throwing stones and break
ing cars at the stables.
Mexico Will
Not Concede
Guatemala.
One Iota to
City op Mexico, Jan. 22. After a very
stormy cabinet meeting last night, Pres
ident Diaz notified Guatemala throngh
its minister, that he would not concede
one iota, Guatemala would have to give
in to Mexico's demands or suffer the
consequences. Other Central American
representatives at the meeting made a
statement to President Diaz that they
understood Mexico was trying to grasp
Central American territory. Diaz denied
the aesertion. and stated that Mexico
would have her right, and the boundary
lines should be as Mexico claims, but
that Mexico had all the territory she
needed. It looks as if the other Central
American republics were behind Guate
mala. All government students are
marching in tbe streets with bands, and
shouting "Viva Mexico !" "Viva Diaz !"
and "On to Guatemala !"

ANOTHER M4N-IS SHOT
Thomas Carney Wounded by
a Soldier.
RECOVERY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
They Demand Immediate Relief From
the Blockade Notes of the
Strike.
Brooklyn, Jan. 23. Thomas Carney
was shot in the side by a soldier this
afternoon. Carney had thrown bricks
from the roof of a building on the soldiers
below. He will probably die.
Brooklyn, Jan. 23. At least one life
has been sacrificed by the strike of the
motormen and conductors of the trolley
lines. Henrv Ahns. who for disregard'
mg a command to halt, was shot by the
militia last night, died today. The in-
jnred can be counted by scores, but
most have been kept under cover in
order that they may not be prosecuted
by the police for creating disturbances.
This is the tenth day of the big strike,
and still the result hangs in the balance.
Tbe railroad companies can operate their
lines as far as mechanical arrangements
go, but up to the present they nave se
cured only about 400 new men.
At 10 :45 o'clock car No. 304, of the
Court street line, and 300, of the Halsey
street line, came down Third avenue to
the Fifty-eighth street depot. There
were 25 non-union men on each cat,
drawn from the Court and Halsey street
lines. Four police officers rode on the
cars, while two mounted policemen rode
in the rear ot eacn car. ine cars were
escorted by companies I and F. of the
Second regiment, while two other com
panies of the same regiment guarded the
Fifty-eighth street depot. Both cars
were run into the Fifty-eighth street de
pot, through crowds of strikers, who
jeered and hooted the non-union men.
The strikers were 'driven off by the
troops, and the windows and doors of
houses in the vicinity ordered- closed.
The police drove workmen employed on
a number of new buildings, in course of
erection on Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh
streets, from the buildings, and placed a
guard of policemen there to prevent tbe
strikers from carrying off the material
used in construction of buildings, for
purposes of obstructing tracks.
A committee of citizens of the seven
teenth ward who were appointed at mass
meeting, held last night, waited on the
mayor this forenoon and asked that im
mediate relief be afforded them. Rev.
Dr. Laven was the principal spokesman.
The following resolutions, which were
adopted at a meeting last night, were
presented:
"Resolved, That we protest against
the monster monopoly of the railroad
systems of our city, and that they be
compelled by the city authorities to run
their cars in compliance with their char
ters, and that in the event of their non
compliance the city authorities take con
trol of the roads so that the people may
have immediate and permanent relief.
It is now the ninth day since any car
has been operated in the seventeenth
ward, and all business has been practic
ally destroyed at a great loss to our citi
zens, and we demand immediate relief.
In every quarter of tbe city the "wires
were cut during the night, and the
stables and power-houses were subject to
a desultory bombardment of stones. A
few of the malefactors were arrested on
many lines.
The Myrtle avenue line opened about
3 o'clock this morning, three policemen
guarding eacn car. Soldiers were sta
tioned at all cross streets for a distance
of 30 blocks from the depot. Every win
dow was ordered closed, and no one was
allowed to stand in the streets. The car
went on its way downtown without mo
lestation. -
Until 9 o'clock the number of cars in
operation wiia about half that of yester
day. The Fulton street and Flatbush
avenue' lines succeeded in getting only
one ' or two cars ' through to the bridge,
for the reason that the wires had been
cut and the men refused to repair them;
The companies are also short of motor
men. ' . :
'. Despite the assurances of Mayor
Schieren- that tbe military force in
Brooklyn is sufficient to do all that is re
quired of it, it is believed he has made a
request for additional troops to be held
in readiness for an emergency.
The excitement began today about
9:30, when a wagon load of about a
dozen non-union men arrived in charge
of troop A, of New York. At Fifty-first
street and Third avenue, the strikers'
headquarters, a lot of stones were thrown
A it . 3 i A 1 i
ai i ne troops ana wagon, out me troops j
charged the mob and drove them back
into their headquarters and down the
side streets.
Fifty rioters had a fight with the mil
itia at Fifth avenue and Twenty-fourth
street. One soldier got a black eye, be
ing hit with brass knuckles. Red pep
per is freely used by rioters, and many
policemen and soldiers are suffering from
sore eyes.
During the night pickets at Twenty'
fourth street and Fifth avenue were fired
on by the rioters. None of the soldiers
were injured. . They fired in the direc
tion whence the shots came, but proba
bly without effect.
At 8 :15 today a crowd gathered in front
of the Bush wick Cottage h6tel and jeered
at the non-union men at Ridgewood de
pot. Companies G and D, of the Seventh
regiment, charged on the mob and sue
ceeded in dispersing it. No shots were
fired.
Bine Jackets In Che-Fob
London, Jan. 23. A dispatch from
Che-Foo sav8 that eailors from all for
eign warships have been landed to pro
tect the consulates.
Advices to the Pall Mall Gazette, nn
der date of December 4th. published
this afternoon, report that a panic ex
is ted then among the inhabitants of
Che-Foo, on account of the proximity
of Japanese - soldiers to the citv. The
Chinese troops were said to be upon the
point of mutiny. It is added that ow
ing to diplomatiqobjectiona the plan
was not to land any bluejackets from
foreign warships without urgent necea
Bity for so doing, but signalmen ashore
and afloat were to remain on the look
out day and night.
The correspondent says: "All male
foreigners, numbering about thirty, are
armed, and are able to hold the Chinese
in check until help arrives, but God
help outlying American missions.' -
Senator Palmer Wishes the
Mortgage
Paid in Silver.
Washington, Jan. 23. Senator Pal
mer introduced a bill today directing
that the senior mortgage bonds of the
Union Pacific railroad be payable in
silver dollars. The bill provides further
that if there are not enough silver dol
lars coined and in the treasury the sec
retary ' may coin from bullion in the
treasury enough to meet the deficit,
do not expect to see the bill passed this
session," said Palmer, "but it will serve
to counteract . the proceedings com
menced in the federal courts of St. Louis
to foreclose these senior mortgages.'
The Illinois senator thinks the proceed
ing in court is in the nature of a menace
to force congress to pass a bill extending
the time of the payment of its debt to
the government.
Further Proceedings Against the Union
Pacific Railroad.
-. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 23. Proceedings
in foreclosure against the Union Pacific
railway similar to that instituted at St,
Louis, were begun yesterday in the fed
eral court before Judge Dundy by F. G,
Dexter and Oliver Ames, trustees of the
mortgage- bondholders. The plaintiffs
set up that the company defaulted on
the interest of July 1, 1894, and contin
ued in default until November 27th,
when the receivers offered, to pay the
defaulted interest. . Plaintiffs relate the
appointment of the receivers October
13, 1893, by Judge Dundy, and allege
that therefore all property of the railway
is in the hands of the court
Solely for Protection.
Washington, Jan. 23. Admiral Car
penter has cabled the navy department
that he landed the marines at Che-Foo
for the protection of the consulate. . He
reports that commanders of the French
and German warships pursued the same
course.

Broker Quigley Secured 916,000 From
the Pequonnock National.
Bridgeport, Conn., Jan. 23. It was
learned last night that another bank
had been caught by Broker Quigley.
The Pequonnock National bank has a
loan of $16,000, and $26,000 in bonds as
collateral. Cashier Prindle says the
loan was made before the firm of Quigley
& Tuttle was dissolved 'and that he will
bold Tuttle's property to protect the
bank. Cashier, Prindle has not exam
ined the bonds and thinks' that some of
them may be genuine. ' -
Threatened by Famine.
Dublin, Jan. 23. William O'Brien,
M. P., has written a letter to the Free
man's Journal, stating that a famine is
threatened in the west of Ireland. He
declares the situation there is already
more serious than in 1891, when Chief
Secretary Balfour expended 1,000,000
from the British treasury to relieve the
sufferings of the people of that region.

STORM KING'S PATH
Devastating Floods in Sono
ma County, Cal.
AN ALMOST MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Losses Reach Into the Thousands, but
It is Impossible to Yet Tell the Full
Damage Done.
Santa Rosa, Jan 24. Reports of the
damage done by the recent floods con
tinue to come in. It is believed that the
last storm ia the most damaging of any
had in Sonoma county for 30 years
Mark West creek overflowed its banks:
nearly destroying two large wagon
bridges and cutting up tbe roads so that
they are impassible for miles.
Communication with the unfortunate
town of Guerneville, has been re-estab
lished by telephone, it will be at least
10 days before train service can be re
sumea in. mat part ot tne county, as
miles of track are gone.
Tho water in Guerneville, which
IS
higher than it had been in 35 years, has
not yet receded, and people are traveling
about the place in boats. The Grand
Cent; al hotel is the highest building in
town, and tbe water is within eight in
ches of tbe floor.
It is impossible to tell the extent of
damage done. .'The loss of household
goods and provisions alone is very large,
The Sonoma Lumber Company is dam
aged by the loss of lumber fully $5,000,
A number of houses turned over by
landslides and the flood tbe first day of
the storm have been swept away.
Three-quarters of a mile from Guerne
villeTom Varner's family had an al
most miraculous escape from death,
They saw a landslide coming and rushed
out to the barn for protection. They
had barely left the house when it was
struck by the slide and crushed into a
hundred pieces. The next moment the
entire structure slid into Russian river
and floated awav. .
At 'Riley's mill, nve miles away, a
large hotel was demolished by a land'
slide. The water is 10 feet deep on the
railroad bridge and a report has just
been received that it has broken away
from tbe bank and - is going to pieces,
The wagon bridge is still intact, but may
go at any time. .
It is Thought the Great Strike Is Almost
, Over.
Brooklyn, Jan. 24. The beginning
of the end of tbe great trolly strike was
reached today. . Tbe strikers played
their last card yesterday in ordering out
the electrical workmen, on all lines ef
fected. They announced that thd roads
would be paralyzed today by the lack of
men competent to repair trolley wires.
Wholesale wirecntting took place during
tbe night, .and many linemen obeyed
the order to quit work. This gave the
companies more trouble, and several
lines which have been operated for sev
eral days, were tied up for a time in the
early morning. They were started after
repairs had been made by new men and
by those who refused to go out. The
company started new lines today and
while normal traffic is not yet restored,
cars are operated on all the main a. ter-
ies of travel, but smaller branches to
outlying districts and across town are
Still idle. .
Greenpoint today saw its first car for
10 days, and its protesting citizens who
yesterday demanded a forfeiture of char
ters are somewhat mollified. Law and
order is not yet established, though cars
are able to run with some degree of
safety to their occupants. It is definit
ely decided that no more troops are
needed however, and and the troops now
ere are expected to restore order.
Fifty non-union men left Flushing
avenue stables this morning to o the
cross-town line. The cars were guarded
by four policemen and the Eighth hat
talion. Tbe first car which left the sta
bles was held up at Franklin street and
Greenpoint avenue by strikers. All tbe
windows were broken,, but tbe police
used their clubs freely and the car was
taken through the mob. The motor-
man was hit by a brick and flying glass,
but no one else was injured. At 9
clock tbe Court-street car was stoned

Fulton is Coming Back.
Salem, Jan. 24. It is stated here to
day that Charlie Fulton will arrive to
night. He is now in Portland, and, it -is
understood, is awaiting the result of
today's balloting before coming to the
capital city. . Whether Mr. Fulton.will
re-enter the senatorial contest is un-
known, but it is asserted by his friends
that he will become an important factor, -
either in bis own behalf or in the inter
est of his friends.' Fulton's supporters
generally have bolted tbe caucus nom
inee, and they are loud now in their
claims that after the first ballot, Dolpb
failing to secure re-election the caucus
members are not bound by the caucus
result. It is known Mr. Fulton is being
groomed for the leadership of the free
silver faction of his partv in the state,
should he fail of election to the senate,
and it is believed his action in the con
test at present at least wili be with this
end in view, rather than in furtherance
of his individual candidacy. At the
same time he is not expected to take his
eye off the main chance and should
matters so ebape themselves that he has
a fair show of election he will doubtless
become an. active candidate for tbe sen
atorship. Hip desertion of the silver forces after
the caucus might injure his chances as a
candidate at this time, but should the
contest be prolonged it would be likely
to .react in his favor, as in it he has .
bowed his disposition to abide by the
caucus declfion of his party, and this
fact might win him votes from members
who are now supporting Dolpb, in the
event of a breach in his forces. The
friends of Senator Dolph claim, however,
there will he no breach of consequence
in the ranks of his supporters and that
is ultimate re-election is assured.
