The city is an armed oamp this morning. The strikers seem tto be overawed by the appearance of the militia, and content themselves with jeers or scoffs at both non-union men and the militia. Snow fell during the night, covering; the ground to" a depth of two inches and delaying the starting Ot cars this morning, but when they Were sent out the strikers showed no disposition to interfere, and thrte was an entire absence at the rioting that was ram pant yesterday. The leaders f the strike were hold ing a meeting at Throop avenue and Hopkins street when informaition came of Che calling out of troops. They de cided as a retaliatory sten to iis every ertort to call a general strike of the trades in Brooklyn. The an nouncement was received with amaze ment and indignation at the strikers' headquarters. Said one of the leaders. I am afraid this step will lead to violence. It has been hard to restrain the men hitherto, and I am afraid they will regard this latest move as an In dication of a coalition between the au thorities and the railroad corporations. Tt is impossible to say what action will be taken by the executive board in the matter, but they will hold a meeting this morningl" rne calling out of troops has caused muah Indignation among labor unions. Master Workman Connolly said a general strike may be rdered before Sunday. At noon there is no chins in the number of roads in operation. The members of the board of media tion and arbitration will make everv effort to bring about a settlement to day, although they concede they have no reason to expect to succeed. The first demonstration of violence toward the sold.'ers took place at the Halsey street depot, where CorooraJ Cherry, of Company I, Forty-sevenith. regiment, was knocked down, and so severely beaten that he had to.be. talc- - an-r to nr as-many. Several cars were attacked by mobs, and the motormen and conductors severely beaten. Com panies F and G. of the Forty-seventh regiment, were sent to East New York depot, on Fulton street, at noon, as a crowd ot strikers had collected there to prevent the cars being started.

The prediction made at the time of the acquisition of Alaska by the United States that her halibut fisheries would in tims compete with those of tha Nttrth Atlantic seems about to be verified; Four years- ago companies engaged U . halibut Sshfatf ttt Seattle conceived the idea that tfieir' product could m sold lii Boston at A f dre pro fit, and sent ltfrgg sminrients td this city up to November fast It proved to be a financial failure, however, and was abandoned. In November last four companies' at Vancouver began to ship large quan tities of halibut to Boston, and their product was handled entirely by the New England Halibut company and the Atlantic Halibut company for NeW England, These shipments are made over the Canadian Pacific rail road, and the ear toad ef halibut is attached, td the passeuge tfttin Which makes the trip in about seven days. When the fish reach Boston" the two companies dispose) Of it to the dealers all over New England. The fish of Vahcduver Compares iu flavor to the North Atlantic" halibut and sells for the same to the consumer, but the dealer has the benefit of a cent and a half difference in cost, the Eastern halibut selling at SV& cents per hundred, while the Vancouver hal ibut sells at 7 cents. There has been about 200,000 pounds of this fish shipped from the West this Week. The price of Western hal ibut is so low that it is Impossible for the Eastern fishing vessels to do any business", as they are compelled to run at a lossi After March these shipTtierits will cease, as it will be imposSibi i han dle the product on account of the risk that is attached to perishable goods. The goodswill spoil before reaching fheir destination unless repacked with ice" along the read, and that would not be profitable. This is the first seasdtt that these companies have shipped their product to Boston. Their object is to drive out the halibut business in the East and to unload their product in Boston. These Western companies can make a fishing trip in about ten days, where it takes our Vessels about four weeks to make the trip. Boston Herald. THE COUNTRY LOSES. . In the suit of Columbia county against G. A. Massie as former sheriff, Judge Shattuck has decided in favor of the bondsmen. Massie was found delinquent in his account between $3000 and $4000, and suit was insti tuted against his boudsmen, who ex ecuted a bond for $10,000, to recover the shortage. The counsel for the bondsmen for Massie signed a bond insuring Columbia county against loss only by any negligence or wrongdoing on the part of Massie in his capacity as sheriff. They held that the money taken by Massie was - shown to be money collected by him as taxes, and that the county court of Columbia county by law should have required an additional bond from Massie as a tax bond. It was on these pleadings that judgment for the bondsmen was demanded. Judge Shattuck held that the point was well taken, and so de cided the ease. From this it would seem that Columbia county will have no recourse to obtain the money. The decision in this case "virtually, decides the suit - of Columbia county against ex-Sheriff Meeker for several thousand dollars that remain amaecounted for. as the pleadings la botfe suit are iden tical -. . Rer Long Voyage at Sea : ' - How She Shipped from Honolulu. Missed Her Regular Vessel and Came Home in a Roundabout . Fashion. 'And the cat came back;" not as the quotation would suggest to the annoyance of the neighbors, but much to the joy and satisfaction of Captain Dow of the barkentine Planter. The feline in question is not of the aristo cratic breed but is built on the lines f a heaty-Weigbt fighter. Neverthe less she has more good hard sense and intelligence than nine-tenths of the pugilists put together, Jim Corbet in- eluded. Like the champion, Jean knows when she has hold of a good thing, -and 6ri the strength of a couple of victories over an euual number of rats in the hold of the- Planter, now holds undisputed sway over every vessel that sails between here and the Hawaiian islands. Captain Dow. of the Planter, Cap tain John Feren of the sailors' home and the skipper of the brig W.' G. Ir win are sponsors for the following story in regard to Jean and her re markable movements. Six years ago Jean was added to the menagerie at tbe soldiers' home. In that Interesting place can be found Id worn-out dogs, cats, foxes, mon keys and other animals that have been brought to San Francisco from foreign ports and of whic the skippers have got tired. In the name congregation are parrots, magpies, linnets, canaries and thrushes.- Into this motley collection Jean was introduced during the latter part Of 1889 by Captain JoEri Feren. The kitten at once made friends With an Id dog honied ''Boatswain," Who had served his time itii. the American' ship Undaunted. For five years these two ate out of the same dish, niade a gen eral walk around the establishment, took a mid-day siesta and at night would make their bed in the north west corner of the clerk's office. This state of affairs could not go on forever, and one fine morning Jean was damned Into a sack, ana, aiong with a number of sailors, was shippedi as part of the crew of thebarkentine Planter. Camain uow xreateu ner Well, and Jean soon got; jised tov her,, iwTiiiart'H. sna maae nve trips w Hawaii and back-: Never once, how ever, did she fail to Sy a Visit to Boatswain on ner return to can rrau- cisco. On those occasions she would be feasted :by the employes of the home", and finally her return came to be looked fof M A matter of .course. When the suear season was over Plantain Dow was instructed to hring a couple of cargoes of guano from the Lycean Islands for use on tne planta tions. He accordingly made ms ar rangements to start from Honolulu, but when the hour of departure came tbe cat could not be found. rvow'a idea searched ; for an nour along the freflt, but finally gave Jean ap as iost and departed for the guano islands. On Ms return the skipper made" f'urttter inquiries, bat no one had seen tiier cat Another round trip was made, and" tftt this occasion the Planter docked alongside the brig W. G. Irwin. While the sailors on the barkentine were unbending sails they aw "a cat on the poop of the brig. The latter was earnestly looking ax thn Planter and seemed to take m every peculiarity from the truck to the main docs, xne sauors naiieu uie deck and called out to the steward that Jean was on the Irwin. When the cat heard the cry she at once dis appeared Into the cabin of the Irwin, j A few minutes later sne appeareu on deck with a kitten in her mouth. She Jumped on board the Planter ana at Once" made her way to Captain Dow'a rooiil, where she deposited her offspring in her own favorite corner. Five trips did she make to the Irwin and on each occasion she brought back kitten to the Planter. Then wnen she had her .family in safety among her old friends she hunted up Captain Dow, who was sitting in the chart room, jumped up in his lap, licked his hands, then his face and finally went to sleep In his lap as though nothing had happened. Twenty minutes later she was looking for the steward in order to get something to eat. When the Planter returned to San Francisco the first person Captain Dow met was Captain Feren. "You've lost your cat Captain," were the first words from the latter. "Indeed I have not," was the answer. "She is here on board and has five kittens." Feren looked surprised and said: "Well, when you were loading guano In the South seas that cat was up at al Baking Powder Absolutely Pure. Baking of its ingredients upon each other in the loaf while baking, itself produces the necessary gas and leaves the wholesome properties of the flour unimpaired. It is not. possible with any other leavening agent to make such wholesome and delicious bread, biscuit, .rolls, cake, pastry, griddle-cakes, doughnuts, etc. - mut BiiiuA Dftunctt the home with old Boatswain. They wandered around the place together, but when I tried to lock Jean up In -the office she jumped through a win- -dow and escaped." A few days later the captain of the Irwin solved the mystery. Jean had evidently lost her passage on the Planter, and the Irwin being the only ship in Honolulu bound for San Fran cisco she stowed herself away and on arrival in San Francisco visited her old friends. On her return to Hono lulu she recognized the Planter and removed her family to Captain Dow'a fostering care. SMALL BOY'S LATEST GAME. An Ingenious Variation of Hopscotch Entitled "the Ferris Wheet" Who has noticed a curious scroll drawn In chalk upon the sidewalk, dotted with apparent hieroglyphs; and serving to interest and amuse the youthful? This is a new game, an echo of the great fair, and it reioicea in the name of "the Ferris wheel." It is a kind of "hopscotch," but much more complex and ingenious. and rose in the firmament of youthful sports, a star of tbe first magnitude, ounng vine tjoiumman exposition. When it will set no astronomer can predict Its discoverer was a Chicago fad. A great double spiral is drawn, lota I arer east to decide who is to lead oft, and then Master A. B.. who has won I the cast; hops into the diagram, as 1 far as the centre, and then retraces ; his hops steps would be inaccurate. In any part of the spiral which appeals to bis taste. The others follow in order. No one .must touch the lines of the spiral, fail to keep one foot clear of the ground, or rest upon any initials except his own. This is no iea3y jmatttetr, particularly after the diagram has become an interlaced con fusion of letters. The players score ono for each suc cessful effort the highest score nat urally winning. The rapid spread of the game. Its naming in honor of the exhibit which probably impressed youthful visitors most deeply, and to wheh they could trace an intended resemblance in the curved lines of the diagram, Its curi ous complexity, all make tha new sport extremely interesting. IN HARD LUCK. A policeman was sitting on one of the North river wharves the other day looking the picture of despair. "What's the matter?" asked a truck mail. . "I'm all broken up." "Had any hard luck lately?" "Lots of it" replied the guardian of the peace, as he wiped a tear off his . cheek. "Up to last week I was sta tioned at the Polo grounds during the (aft3rnoons,j,(while,jbaseaMll ajuftthe Were being played. It was a nicer easy thing, and I was getting fat Just as 1 began to take such an inter est in the game that I kept the records of the clubs on my cuffs, I was sent down here to preserve order." "That's an awful come-down," said the driver.- "I'm always having that kind of ' luck. Last year there was a brewery on my beat Just as soon as I got ac quainted with the foreman and we were on drinking terms, I was shipped off to walk around and watch a 'mile of vacant lots in Harlem. That was awful. There was nothing to watch but the grass, and there were no wagons or sheds around to sleep In, and there wasn't a saloon on my beat" - "That, was hard luck!" "Hard luck well, I just guess it was hard luck," replied the policeman, sadly; "but when I was appointed to . preserve order at baseball matches I thought my luck had changed, and that the future was bright Then I was sent down here. I'd like It down here first rate, if I could only indulge in my favorite sport" . "What's that?" "Fishing. I'm very fond of fishing; but if I undertook to fish, the rounds man would light on me, and I'd be broken before I could put a sand worm on my hook." And the unlucky policeman drummed on the .string-piece with his feet, and looked gloomily down into the water. THE FARMER'S GIRL. Is honest Is sensible. Is not saucy. Is contented. Helps mother.
