Brooklyn. N. Y., Jan. 23.—The sit
uation this imcrmlng was most serious.
The troops had beau fired upon, at
tacked with mones, brickbats and other
missiles under cover ot darkness and
fog. They 'had heroically faced the riot
ous mobs, and »he wonder Is -that they
withheld 'their fire a dozen times under
serious provocation. They had dis
charged volleys over the 'heads of
crowds, they had Jabbed the street
• gangs with bayonets, they had done
everytihlotg but shoot people dawn.
Gen. 'McLeer suld two days ago that
his men did not want to Injure any
one, that they -realized that firing at
’a crowd meant the probatoCe maiming
at.l death of many persons. He added,
however,that if duty demanded it his
men would the on the mobs. Yester-
'day’s experiences showed that his men
had followed instructions.
The point has now been readhed when
forbearance ceases to he 'a virtue. The
'troops 'have -been ordered to Tire upon
any person seen throwing a missile or
eaondng at them. Sharpshooters have
been detailed to pick off people on
housetops and in windows who threw
or shoot from their sheltered loca
tions nt the troops, the -police or the
ears operated ‘by uon-unlon men.
The mobs do not yet appear to realize
these facts. The citizens ot 'Brooklyn
do not heed the proclamation of the
mayor, warning them to avoid crowds,
refrain from assembling in the streets
lin'd In the vicinity of the car depots.
Apparently there -must be serious
slaughter before peace can be restored.
This may come at any moment.

THE FIRST DISTURBANCE.
The first di*\urtmnee of tho morning
was In -the vfefhlty of the Fifty-eighth
arid Third avenue stable. The strikers
made an arifttek on a wagon containing
a -motormnn and conductor. The wagon
. was on the way to the stables. A howl
ing mob followed the vehicle, yelling.
Jeering, throwing missiles of all kinds
at the men. By Che time Cite wagon
had reached .the stables a mob of
nearly 1,000 had gathered, and the situ
ation looked quite threatening. Alt
this point the officer In command of the
troops ordered a elKWge and the streets
were soon cleared. During the dharge a
shot was fired, but no one was hit.
An assault was made about 6 o'clock
this afternoon on Inspector Jennings
of the Brooklyn Heights company. He
wus attacked by a gang of strikers
near the Halsey street station and was
badly- -beaten, -but not seriously In-
Jur^d.

A liftelGN OF TERROR.
On\ Fulton fi street, between Ralph and
Patience avftnue, serious trouble wan
threatened dubring the day. A mob of
1.000 strikers Wand their sympathizers
held 'Atari nel*1iibortiood in terror for
several hours# and only the -timely ar
rival of a ^detachment of police and
cavalry prevented bloodshed. At one
time a y&na'U riot was In .progrem ntul

They hooted »lio unotormen.

The tracks were piled up with
large beams, huge stones, ash barrels,
old stoves and numerous other obstruc
tions. These caused much delay to the
oars -and gave the strikers nn oppor
tunity to plead with the non-union
men to desert their cars. The trouble
culminated at 1:3# p. hi., when car No.
115 came along. Near PatcJlen avenue
It -had Co stop, coving to obstructions.
The strikers crowded about tho car
and asked the condluotor and motor-
man to Join them. They refused.
Strikers then Jumped upon the plat
forms seized both men by the -necks
and yanked them oft and threw thorn
into the howling mob. Once there they
were kicked and punched unmercifully.
Then a dozen strikers picked them up
bodily and ran detwin a side street with
them. A half dozen cats with police
Had in Hie .mantime came up and the
police drew tlhelr clubs and fell upon
the orrtwd. They smashed right and
loft, generally landing on some unfor
tunate striker’s head." The crowd re-
taHated with stones and for a few min
utes -tho fight iwas hot. The poClce
grabbed two leaders of the men and
placed thorn under arrest. The striker.-!
tried to rescue their brethren and
were only prevented from doing so by
the police drawing tlhelr revolvers and
driving the mob back.
THOROUGHLY AROUSED.
The mob was now thoroughly aroused
and they stoned the ears unceasingly.
It was foun'd ItripoeribCe for the few
poDecment In <ho neighborhood to cope
with the strikers and rc-lnfohcements
wete sent for. In a few minutes a de-
itarthtoent of officers under command ot
Capt. Dyer, and a, portion of troop A.
Lieut. Bndgley In command, camo up.
At -Hhe sight of the galloping horses
the mob beat a hasty retreat, rushing
into near-by saloons, up side streets
and across lots. The cavalry Imme
diately formed a picket line and pa
raded up and down the sldew.-iik«,
forcing 141-ors to move on rapidly .There
were a targe number of women In the
throng and they hooted and jeered
worse -than the men. Many of the
women, With babes In their arms,
crowded about the cars, and their
volets, crying in shrill tones, "Scabs,”
“Scabs," ebuld be heard for blocks.

The police -were somewhat gentle
with them, but for all that, the wo
men stoned them on every occasion.
Many of them taunted the strikers for
not tearing tbe non-union men from
tbe cars, and one big Irish woman of
fered to take a prisoner from a po
liceman if some one would hold a
child she carried In her arms.
Up and down Fulton street, from
Ralph to Tompkins avenue, troop “A"
paraded, keeping the crowds moving.
This was a difficult task for the strik
ers would only be driven from one
place to assemble in another. They
were In a very ugly mood and the
eight of so many Golly care stirred
them to a boiling pitch. But the
cavalry did quite effective work and
their efTorts doubtless prevented a riot.
About 8:30 p. tn. a number of strik
ers rushed up Rochester avenue to
Fulton street, threw a rope over the
trdlley wire and attempted to pull It
down. The cavalry charged and the
strikers fled.
COLLISION WITH MUATARY.
A charge was made by the military
at Broadway and Halsey streets at
11 o'clock tonight Some small boys
had been Jeering the soldi res and there
wero but few men about A drunken
man from New York started from
John Conway's saloon on the comer to
cross HaCsey street. He was fired upon
and hit In the face, sustaining a com
pound fracture of the Jaw. HU name
is Thomas Abna He will die.
Mr. Mitchell of the Brooklyn City
railroad, was shot In the a fin. Two
of the ballets from the guns of the
militia went through the glass windows
or the candy store of John Eckoff at
No. 1«7 Broadway, narrowly missing
the clerk behind tbe counter. Ur.
EckofTs daughter, who was standing
In front of the store, <waa Just missed,
by a bullet.
Dr. T. E. Wilson attended the wound
ed man and was an eye-witness to tho
shooting. He says there were but few
people about and much less excitement
than last night when large crowds at the
same place created quite a disturb
ance. An ambulance took the New
Yorker to the St Mary's hospital and
Mitchell went to his home.
At 11:40 tbe neighborhood was al
most deserted, but the few men about
Wero excited over the occurrence.
There were less.thun twenty men pres
ent when tho shooting occurred.
Cars were run on tho Broadway tine
to -East New York until 8 o’clock; on
the Ralph avenue until 8:20 p. m.; on
the Flatburh avenue line unlll :> p. m.:
on the Fulton street line until 7:20; dti
tho Gates avenue line until 6 p. m.. and
on the Court street line until' 9:30 p.
m. The companies did not attempt
to run until midnight. They accom
plished considerable by running
at all after dark. Some of the last
car* In had rather rough experiences.
Fifteen linemen, most of them Gates
avenuo men, struck today. It Is not
settled wfhecher -they did it of tlhelr own
accord or wore ordered out' by their
master •workman, but the latter cer
tainly ordered them back to work and
they'Were reinstated. Asked about the
situation tonight. Master Workman
Connolly of District Assembly 75 says:
LINEMEN ORDERED OUT.
“Every lineman 'Will be ordered'out
tomorrow and those Who remain will
know Wtoi't tlhey are doing. Everything
Is quiet and «he men are ITrm."
iMadter Workman Connelly suld
further:
"About 4 o'clock this afternoon mi'.l-
tiamen of the Bevoifth Regiment for
cibly entered our assembly hall on Pal-
motto Street. I iwas on the outside, but
was unable to gain admittance, not
withstanding -my expoatuhitlons that
the men were assembled therein on
a peaceful mission. Our private papers
and books In the' lodge room wero
scarohcd and the men kept In confine
ment. This city Is not under martial
tew and I cannot understand that 'the
militia have a right to intrude upon
our private rights,
'Instead of withdrawing my order
to the linemen to return to work, I
shall order -them out; taktttg effect to
morrow morning.
THE MILITARY ACCOUNT.
The military account cf the affair
varies materially ' from Connelly's
statement. It is as to-lloiws:
"When tlhe .troops were ordered out
to protect the starting of -the first
oars from Ridgewood on the Gates itvo-
nue line, at 3:30 p. m.. MnJ. Abrahams
of the Seventh Regiment noticed that
a large tfuanber of Strikers who had
been standing nearly all day lit front
of their headquarters retired within the
building. An a im'atttor of prccaulion,
and to assist In preserving the peace,
should any of these men be. inclined to
break It. Ihe ordered the second com
pany to advance on the double quick
down PalmoEtn street until they had
passed Hie ll.'l'll. The police at his re
quest followed imcnediate’.y and caused
the doors of tho hall to be locked. For
oyer Awo hours nearly 200 men wore
secured In Oho room. Ho papers were
seized, nor were any of their rights
Invaded, rave keeping them in i-avd-
m.tary confinement until all the oars
sent out 'had returned and been se
curely housed. /
There are about 400 tlnemen employed
cin the trolley fine*; They are under
opTrnct to work until February 26.
Presidents Lewis and Norton s-'ld to.
night that they had not hoard that
their linemen would strike tomorrow.
ONE ATTEMPT AT TRAFFIC.
President Norton of the Brooklyn
City system, 'which controls the Gates
avenue line, unnaunced that lit would
be operated. Ho moved ten cars over
the line. This nuariber does not mean
that ten cars were In operation all day.
As a matter of fadt. they were started
out dose together after 3:30 p. m| and
were bustled back Into tho barn,-) -by

300 strong, were on duty this morning
at the depots in' ithc Ridgewood. The
depot was also guarded by Potleo Cap

mounted squad of 150 men.
Tne flint car. No. 524, wan started

Alhrahnms and a detachment ot troops.
At Knickerbocker avenue a*d Palmet
to dtircet the militia and police charged
a crowd wfiti'ch had collected, Capt.
Kitzer of tho police fired a shot, as
did one of the militiamen. One man
hissed the miTtiamon and would not
take his head in and the militiamen

ing hit. Other ears wero hit with
stones. Ail were stopped at 8 o'clock.
Superintendent Quinn of the Atlantic
avenue lino stated tonight that the
company had run cars a* day over
nearly all the.llnes of the syrttem. Cant
wore sent over ttte Butler line also, M r.
Quinn said, for the first time since the
•trike was Inaugurated. He declared
there had not been tho slightest dis
turbance on any of the lines. President
Norton, Mr. Quinn said, was very
much pleased at the outlook and was
sanguine that the company nvauM bo
niblo to operatic their roads fully in a
few days.
Caro wero run faker on the Court
street line than ut any time since the
strike. The last ear left the ferry at

LODGE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.
Tbs llou.s Msnagsi <o Slnl.h With tho
Inal III Appropriation Util and Ihe
Urgent Deflbltucy Conference
Committee Blade Rep.irt,
Washington, Jan. 22.—The Hawaiian
question was again debated In the sen
ate today for about two hours. Mr,
Gray (Democrat) of Delaware, occupi
ed the position of defender and advo
cate of the administration and Mr.
Lodige (Republican) of Massachusetts,
that of Its prosecutor. The latter sen-
a'tor was plain and outspoken In advo
cacy of the annexation of the .Islands
declaring that he disliked lo see the
American flag pulled down where it had
once been run up, or an American plan
set bsolc which had been once ad
vanced.
In the course of discussion Mr. Haw
ley (Republican) of Connecticut, took
occasion to correct the impression that
in yesterday's debate he ltad charged
the president with “conspiring” with
royalist Hawaiian coneplrutons. What
he intended to convey, he said, was
that the president had "conferred”
with them.
The Kyle resolution, ■ on which the
discussion had been based, was at the
close of the morning hour, placed on
tho calendar and the remainder of
the day’s session was oocupled with a
speech by iMr. Turplo (Democrat) of
Indiana. In opposition to the Nicara
gua canal bill.
Among the petilons and othe pa
pers presented In the morning hour,
were affidavits and protects from citi
zens of Alabama in reference to the
recent ejection in Alabama, presented
by Air. iAltch (Fopultot) of Nebraska.
The house “pooling bill" was report
ed back from the committee on Inter
state commerce by Mr. Sutler, (Dem
ocrat) 6t South Carolina favorably and
without amendment, and was placed on
the calendar—Air. Chandler (Republi
can), a member of that committee,
giving riotice of an amendment, he
intended to offer us regards rates in
connection with the Interstate com
merce Caw.
The' Kyle wnolutlon disapproves "the
notion of the administration In with
drawing our war ships from tho Sand
wich islands, and requests the pres
ident to order a vessel t\> proceed forth
with frCm-ban Francisco to Honolu
lu."
Mr. Frye remarked that the discus
sion on Hawaiian questions could Just
as well proceed upon Mr. ICyle's res
olution as upon his own.
At the close ot Mr. Gntiy's speech
Mr. HID "tfeted as a substitute for
Air. Kyle's resolution, the one offered
last Saturday by Air. Frye, declaring
that the senate "learns with profound
regret the attempt to restore a deposed
queen to power In the Hawaiian Is.
lands, and extends to the young renub-
lic the warmest sympathy In her ef
forts to suppress tho rebellion."
No vote was reached upon either
subject, and at '4:10 the senate ad
journed. .
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
'After six days consideration. Air. Hol
man succeeded today In getting the
Indian appropriation bill for the year
ending June 30, 1890, through tho
house. A number of amendments were
made in its text, however, before the
committee ot the whole recommended
favorable action, chiefly in tho way of
dropping suggested changes from the
cHtinbll-ned practice by tho Indian bu
reau.
The house bill for tho appointment
of cadets at Annapolis by represent Ur
tlves in congress, whose districts are
not represented there, was taken up.
Mr. Crawford (Democrat) of .North
Carolina, moved an amendment so as
to authorize tho appointment of a ca
det by a representative or dolegato
whose district or territory wns not rep
resented at the academy by a bona
fide resident of the district.
For thin amendment a substitute was
prop sed by Mr. U lutellc (Republican)
of Maine, to restrict the appointments
to those districts where the cadet was
a resident at the time of appointment.
It was agreed to, and as thus amend'
ed, the bill was paused, 161 to 67, over
•the objection of Mr. Reed, who said
such a bill ought not to noss.
Mr. Sayers calieil up the conference
report upon the urgent deficiency bill.
The renate is recommended 4o recede
from the amendment-to tho income tax
Drovlel n and the house to recede from
Its disagreement to the other amend
ments. The report was agreed to.
On oehalf of Chatrmam Wilson, who
was unavoidably absent, Mr. McMIllln
pres.sited the report of the committee
on ways and means, recommending the
passage of the bill to repeal the provis
ion of the tariff law Imposing an ad
ditional duty of one-tenth of a cent a
pound upon sugar imported from a
country which pays an export bounty
on that article. . . . . L
A bill was pasted authorizing tho es
tablishing of a national military park
at Gettysburg. Penn., and appropriating
875,000 therefor. The house disagreed
to tbe senate amendments to the forti
fications appropriation bill and askeu a
conference thereon.

Atlanta, Jan. 22.—(SpedaJ.)—School
Commissioner Glenn to considering a
novel plan of making nn exhibit of tho
educational department of the state
at the Cotton States Exposition. Ho
wants to do something out of the ster
eotyped order of educational exhibits,
something that will not only attraett
attention to the system of education
offered by Georgia, but that will servo
a practical purpose as wed.
Fow people take any nottoo of maps,
charts, books and tbe 1 like, such as
compose tho average educational dis
play, and consequently little or no
good results from that sort ot work.
What the Intelligent visitor, looking
for a place In Georgia tot settle lilmself
and family wants to know, besides tho
wealth of tho soil amt tho products
adapted to It, is tho class of pcoplo
>vho will bo hlx neighbors. Mo wants
to know come thing jnoro definite about
tho children, among whom his own
are to be raised up, than what he learns
from 'the smooth-tongued land agent.
Then after tho prospective Georgian
has natlsfled himself on these'.points,
together with other Inducements of
fered, he wants to see for himself the
faculties tor educating his children,
and hopr these facilities are unUllzed.
In order to meet 'this phase of ihn
problem of developing 'the state Qom-
mlasionor Glenn has conceived the Idea
of haying a school in actual opartulow
at the exposition grounds. He has not
yet thoroughly matured tho plan, but
tho outline of It ig to oreci a building
that will represent the average coun
try,or town school house. In this build
ing ho proposes to conduct a series ot
Bohdols, so to apeak. Every county In
tho stage will he invited to send for
a specified period of time, a day or
probably longer, tho pupils anil,teach
ers of One of the beat schools. In this
way vlstors to tho exposition may see
the children themselves who attend
school In any part of tho state. They
may ulso see the teavhem and observe
the practical working of bhe system,
as well as having personal Intercom wo
with the people and children of tho
various communities.
Commissioner Glenn Is at work per
fecting I4>e plan, and believes that hu
can so perfect It as to make 4t oh*
tirely practicable.
-A school in actual session at the im
position would undoubtedly attract a
great deal Ot attention, and there la
no Duration that it would dt> more to
ward acquainting visitors with tho ed
ucational system and tho people of tha
Mato than nny other form of educa
tional display. i
