The senate, after some unimpor taut preliminary business, took up the education bill. The amendment offered by Logan was agreed to, providing that the secretary of the in terior ii charged with the proper ad ministration of this law through the CDinmiesioner of education, and those two effleeraj are authorizad, with the approval of the president, to make ali needful rules and regulations not inconsistent with the bill to carry out those provisions. Logan said his otje-et was to estab- lien a part of the board instead of ItavU g the ouestiocs arising under the bill entirely to the secretary of the interior. Other amendments were agreed to liqulring from the state i.fflctryeaily reports of the teachers’ salaries, num ber of school districts, relative num bers of white and colored children, substituting the census of 1890 as a basis of apportionment after that cei.bus fhall have been taker:; pro viding that if any state should de cline or relinquish its prorata it ihould go to increase the quota of the states accepting; requiring the secre tary of interior to investigate com plaints of unjust discrimination in the application of the funds, and in cluding the District of Columbia in the bill. A number of amendments locking to the regulation of studies in the sohools aided by this bill were rejected. Plumb ufitered an amendment pro viding that no state should be enti tled to any of this educational fund till it shall have filed with the secre tary of interi or a sample of each school bock in use in its common schools. After considerable debate Plumb’s amendment was rej eted, but on his renewing the part of the amendment requiring that samples of school books ne fl'ed in the interior department without making the state’s title to the money depend on such filing, it was agreed to. Other amendments of detail were rnaiie on motion of Elmunds, Ev ans, Hall, Ddph, Btair, Ingalls, Teller, Eudu, L'gsn, Hampton and Coi.ger The bill having thus baea perfected as in the committee of the whole was reported to the senate and most of the amendments made in the committee of the wnole were agreed to, On motion of George the section letting forth that the design of the act was not to establish an lndepeDs dent echool system in the states, but only to extend aid to the state gov ernment, was restored by a unani mous vote. Plumb read some arttclsa from the New York Evening Post to show that since the agitation of the ques tion of national aid the states of the louth had not put forth their usual efforts for education. The bill was then read the third time aud passed—yeas 86, nays 11. A number of pairs were announced owing to the necessary absence of »ome of the senators.

Galveston, Tex, Maroh 5.—The meeting of the local trade assemblies adjourned afer midnigui last night It was determined that the Mallory boycott should be immediately en forced against the Gulf, Colorado and Banta F - and the Missouri Pacific roads. The order will at onoe be is sued that every knight of labor work- irg on either of these lines must re* fuse to handle freight consigned to or from the Mallory company.

THE CAR LINES TIE UP New York, March 5 —The grand "tie up” oi all the Surface Hues ot the city, ordered by the executive board of the Empire protective asso oiation, took place this morning at 4:02 o’clock. The first car for the day on the Bix h Avenue road should have l.-lr the depot at Forty-.third streel. Tne oat did not do so, and as the night men arrived with their oars they ran them into the stables. The men stood around quietly, laughed and onatted in the best of humor, and did not attempt to resort to any violence. The last oar left the Broadway railroad depot at 3:15 o’clock. The next one to arrive en tered the depot and did not come cu’ again. The men were very quiet. They did not intend to tie up until 4:59 a m, but as agents from rhe Empire protective asso oiation arrived and ordered the men to le .vc, they did so on the instant. They assembled in orderly groups and prepared to march to their hall on West Fifty second street, where they will remain during the day. W en car No 204 <f the Third Avenue line reached the depot at Sixty-fifth street at 4:20 o’olock the drivers turr e 1 from tne main track into the stables and unhitched the horses Every car that arrived sub •equently did the aame. Ther? was nor tr e slightest excitement or noise. At 4:45 o’clock there were only flf teen men about the depot. They all belonged to the night force, for the day men simplified matters by not reporting for duty, President Lamb, of the company, was immediately notified, but hedecidudnot to do any thing until he calls the directors together during the day, when it will be decided whether it will be worth while to make an effort to run the cars A few policemen were sent over from the Fifty-ninth street sta tion, but their services were not Deeded, for everything was quiet. It was said at the polioe headquarters that the presidents of the car com- panics were holding a meeting this morning, and that it was the general opinion that they will advise Rich ards in and the directors of the Dry- Dock, East Broadway and Battery railroad company to accede to the de mands of the men Chairman O’Don nell, of the strikers’ committee, was in Brooklyn. The local oommit tee here, it wae said, will not order the tie-up to be loosened until they hear from O’Donnell that the de mands of the men on Richardson's Brooklyn roads have also been grant ed. At 4:30 the cars in B ooklyn were all running on schedule time, except the A’.lantio Avenue line, which went out on Wednesday. There was no trouble at any place in the city. The strikers have disap peared. At 6:30 every line in the city had tied up. jt t L At half-past ten no disturbance has bs-'n reported to the police. Not a oar is running and the city appears as if dead. Nothing like it hai been witnessed sinoe the worst days of ep- isootio—a dozen years ago. In Brook lyn seven roads operated by the At lantic avenue railroad company tied up, but no violence ia reported. The New York police are thoroughly or- ganizid and confident of its ability to repress promptly any disposition to riot or disorder. Every man able to put oa a uniform and carry a club wasordered on duty during the night, and 1500 men oan to-day be concentrated at a moment’s notice at any point where trouble may threaten. Tne headquarters looks like an enormous bivouac of uniformed men held in readinesi to answer calls from any quarter Bquais of 15 or 20 polloemen were dispatched early to guard around tne depots and stables.

The atrikers of avenue B and avenue D oars marohed to the Four teenth street stables at 1:30 p m Inspector ByreB with 100 policemen were there loo. At 2:30 o’olock the doors were opened, the a'ablemen and “bnohers” marohed in, took off their coats and went to work. Some non-anion men who had been feed ing the horses retired.

The me ) understand from the interview with Whi'e’.y, pub lished yesterday, that arbitration is out of the q lestion, and while noth ing is said, a is very probable that a boycott will be ordered. The trains are watched for incoming workmen, but few have arrived There is per*- reot order and no indications of vio lence. The counsel of the men is dgalDsl it.

Washington, M*cb 6 - During the mouth of F bi nary the secre'ary purchased 1 4<’0 000 ounces of silver for coinage into standard dollars, being about 500 000 leas then 'lie usual rennibly purchase. It is t x- plained at the department that the amount of silver fell short because :to more was offered at the market rates. The price was higher, ■■wing io the incret s' i expenses of transportation (hiring the ha; wta' ! er which pre vailed during the mouth. There was, however, sufficient bullion ou hand to allow ihe coinage of dollars to the minimum limit. These silver purchases are made semi weekly. A c rnmiselon con slating of Assistant Secretary Fair- child, Mr Kimball, director <f the mint, and Treasurur Jordan, consid ers the bids received and reports to the secretary the advisability of their acceptance A division of eentiirent i ties prevailed for several weeks p st among the members ot tbe commis sion as to the legdity of h purchases in question. Treasurer J.m dan holds mat there should be a specific appropria’ion for such pur chases and iu Ihe abseuoe of such appropriation, invariably recoin- m nils the rejection of ail bids re ceived. The two ofbei members o! the commission hold that the coin age act requirii.g ihe purcha e of bullion and the coll ate of not less chan two millions In standard dollars in each month, is in tbs nature of a permanent appropriation and con* re is full authority in the premises Tne result has been that for several weeks past the secretary haw received two reports on the subject, the majority report recommending the acceptance of the lowest hid received, and the minority re pi r recommending the rejection of all bids. The secretary has in each instance approved the majur'ty re port and directed that silver be pur chased in accordance therewith. Had he acted la accordance with the rec ommendation of Treasurer Joni .n no silver would have been purebau-d, and the ootnage of standard dollars to the limit provided by law would have bem prae'ically suspend-d.
