The Militia Instructed to Respond With Lead to All Attacks By the Strikers. Associated Press. Brooklyn, Jan. 22. The first fatal en counter of the great strike took place eibout 11 o'clock tonight, when, in an encounter wltih a few boys at the Hal sey Btreet station of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, a volley was fired by the militia. Henry Ahen, of New York City, was fatally shot, a musket ball entering his mouth and passing through his head. Another man nam ed Williams was wounded In the arm. The ninth day of the tieup lias clos ed without bringing a material dhange in the situation!. It has been a day of allarmlng rumors, which, fortunately, had slight or no foundation. There were between daybreak and nigilitfall numerous brushes between the police and militia dn one side and t'he strikers or headstrong law-defying citizens with their cause on the other. The develop ment of the day have not been reas suring as a whole. In spite of the fact that there are under arms in the city 8,000 state soldiers, an'J l,i00 policemen are on duty, traffic is suffering a vir tual paralysis In which all the indus tries of the city participate to a greater or lesser degree. Lawlessness is ram pant, and altogether fhe conditions are such as may excite the gravest appre hension. , ANSWER WITH LEAD. That Is the 'Order Col. Appleton Gave the N. Y. Militia Yesterday. Brooklyn, Jan. 22. There was unus ual calm this morning at the Alaba ma avenue station. Fulton avenue conductors were stoned. While they did not make open manifestations, the mob busied themselves cutting wires, Another conference between Brigadier General MeAleer, Mayor Schleren, the executive committee of the strikers, and the presidents of the railroad com panies will be held today. The com panies are still unable to secure new men to run all their cars, and it is not expected any more cars will be running today than yesterday. The companies are still further hampered by refusal of Bhe linemen to repair the wires. Col. Appleton has ordered tils men when assaulted "henceforth to respond point blamk with lead. Police Superintend ent Campbell has been notified that the trolley men have gone on a strike. The other electricians may follow suit. THE ASPECT SERIOUS. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 22. The Sixty fifth regiment bas been ordered to hold its men In readiness for a call to arms If needed at the Brooklyn strike. FLOODS IN CALIFORNIA. San Francisco, Jan. 22.

AFTER THE ADMINISTRATION. Washington, Jan. 22. The policy of the administration as to Hawaii was Again the subject of attack .and de fense In the senate today. The person' al element of the controversy drew large crowds to the galleries. It Indt cated no dlmlnuatlon of public interest in Hawaii now that the course of the administration Is tfiie main question of discussion. Gray and George justified the administration. Lodge and Haw ley made the principal speeches of the day against the administration. The Nicaragua canal bill was taken up and Turpie spoke against the meas- ur for three hours.

A Splendid and Legitimate Offer Made for the Water Bonds. Those on the outside who have not been familiar with the whole affair, have doubtless criticized Mr. Van Du- sen and the water commission In gen eral that some proposition bas not been accepted for the purchase of the bonds. But there are always matters connect ed with affairs of 'this kind, that un less personal study Is made of them, the general public cannot readily un derstand. It was so In the bond sole by the water commission, and since their rejection of the Lamprecht Bros.' contract, Mr. VanDusen has been be selged by telegrams and letters from various parties Who claimed to be an xious to take the bonds. But there are sharpers and fakirs among bond buyers or brokers, rather as well as in any other business. In conversation with an Astorlnn representative a couple of days ago, Mr. VanDusen said: "Yes, I bave received quite a number of offers for the bonds, some of which are legitimate. But there are a good many of the offers that come from parties wholly Irresponsible, who only want an option on the bonds, that they may peddle them around the streets of eastern monejc centers, chancing their Vln placed. To these people we pay no attention. In fact, Astoria Is not in that great a hurry to hove her bonds o:d, that she need ruin her standing throurrh this class of brokers. W4 wilt get a good offer for the bonds yet, and you can dfpend upon It, the city will be the gainer by the delay." It now transpires that Mr. Van Du ron as well as the rest of the commis sioners, bas acted with excellent judg ment through the whole botid contro versy. A frentleman representing one of the strongest trust companies of New York city, will arrive In Astoria t.M momlntr for the rr'rf xse of plos In? nr a pnrehse of the $;00,000 worth rf rft-vear 5-ner-eont tinrds.

Her Sincerity Loulied Upon With Doubt by Jajian An other Advance, , Associated Press. Toklo, per stiiamer Peru, Hun Fran cisco, Jan. 22. The only change In Die diplomatic situation since the last ad vices Is the announcement that Chang Ylng II wan, China's accredited ascut, is actually on his way to Japan. The capture of Wol Hal Wei Is now re garded as a foregone conclusion, and may, however, again alter the aspect of affairs. The Chinese dignitaries move slowly In their own country, and It Is anticipated that Japan will have occupied the naval station near Cue Foo before the suitors for poace are ready to leave their own country. The fact that Mr. Foster will accom pany the Chinese envoys in a capacity of legal advisor, does not chan;re the opinion of the Japanese with respect to the sincerity of China's Intention.
