Brooklyn, N. Y.. Jan. 22.—The sit
uation Mila morning was moat serious.
The troops had boon Bred upon, at
tacked with atones, brickbats and other
missiles under cover o£ darkness and
fog. Tliey hod heroicully faced the rjot-
ous mobs, and fhe wonder fa that they
withheld their lire a dozen tlrhs* under
serious provocation. They 'had dis
charged volleys over the heads of
crowds, they had jabbed the street
gangs with bayonets, they had done
everything but shoot people down.
Gen. Me Leer said two days ago that
his men did not want to Injure any
eiw, that they realized that tiring at
a erowd meant the probaMe maiming
and death of many persons. He.added,
however.that tf duty demanded it h!s
men wviu.d fire on the mobs. Yeator-
day’s experiences showed that tils men
had followed instructions.
The point has now been roadbed when
forbearince cojees to be a virtue. The
troops have been ordered to Tire upon
anv person s?en throwing a missile or
•.lotiting at mom. Sharpshooter* have
been detained to pick off people on
housetops and In windows Who throw
or khoot from their siheWered loca
tions at the troop*, the police or the
oars operated by non-union mea.
The mob* do not yet appear to realize
these facts. The citizens of Brooklyn
do not heed the proclamation of the
mayor, warning them to avoid crowds,
refrain from assembling In the streets
and In live vicinity of the car depute.
Apparently there must be serious
slaughter before peace orn be restored.
This may come at any moment.
THE FOG CLEARED AWAY.
The clearing off of the fog and rain
tills forenoon mu hi aid of public
sifoty. The dloak for violence wus
removed. The mobs which caused Che
trouble yesterday afternoon and last
night did not assemble today. There
wire disturbance*. however. Wires
were cut and car* interfered with n.t
points oiwny from 'Uhe st itlon* or the
troop*. The linemen refused to repair
cut wire* today, widening the breach
and giving Che companies more trouble.
No genemf. resumption of running ear*
has followed the arrlvaf <* tile troop*
nnd the companies have made a poor
showing despite their borst# of plenty
of new men. President* Lewis Norton
and Wicker* ray Hie outlook is bright
er for Ml* resumption of normal travel
on their tines. They made a slight gain
this morning In the number of car*
operated, but did not succeed In start
ing cars a* promptly and as qulekly as
they planned to do last night. President
Norton did. however, run cars on three

THE FIRST DISTURBANCE. ,
The first disturtwnre of the morning
was In the vicinity of the Fifty-eighth
and Third avenue stable. The striker*
made an attack on n wagon containing
il motormsn and conductor. The wagon
was on the way to the stnbtes. A howl

had reached the stables n mob of
nearly 1.000 had gathered, nnd the situ

this point tile officer In command of the
troops ordered a chHTge and the streets
were soon cleanM. During the charge •
shot was fired, hut no one was tilt.
An assault wa* mad” about * o'efock

A REIGN OF TERROR.
Ou FuSton street, between Ralph and
Patience avenue, serious trouble was
threatened during the day. A mob of
1.000 striker* and their sympathizers
held that nelgh'oortiood In terror for
several hours and only the timely ar
rival of a detadament of police and
cavalry prevented bloodshed. At one
time a small riot was In program anti

side streets, but qulekly returned it

forces Its demeanor became much
bolder. Tliey hooted the motormen.
Jeered at the police and stoned thu
ears. The tracks were plied up with
large beams, huge stones, ash barrels,
(id stove* and numerous other obstruc
tions, These caused much delay to the
oars and gave rhe strikers an .oppor
tunity to piead :vitil the non-union
men to desert their cars. The trouble
culminated at 1:30 p. m.. when car No.

The strikers crowded about the car
and asked the conductor nnd motor-
rrnn to Join them. They refujed.
Strikers then Jumped upon rhe plat
forms seized both men by the necks
and yanked them -off and threw them
Into the howling mob. Once there they
were kicked and punched unmercifully.
Then a dozen strikers picked them up
bodily and ran down a side street wits

police drew Chelr club* and fell upon

THE MILITARY ACCOUNT.
The military account at the affair
varlt* materially from Connelly'*
statement. It Is as tollowa:
“When the troop* were ordered out

Many of thejn taunted the strikem for
not tearing the non-union men from
the 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 Tompklnn avenue, troop "A"
paraded, keeping the crowds moving.
This was a difficult task for tbe strik
er* would only be driven from one
place to aflsccnble In another. They
were in a very ugly mood and the
sight of »> many trolly can stirred
them to a boiling pitch. But the
cavalry did quite effective work and
their efforts doubtless prevented a riot.
About S:M p. m. a number of strik
er* rushed up Rochester avenue to
Fulton street, threw a rope over the
trolley wire and attempted to pull it
down. The cavalry charged and tbe
•trikero tied.
COLLISION WITH MILITARY.
A charge wa* made by the military

of the randy store of John Eckoff at
No. l«7 Broadway, narrowly missing
the clerk behind th* counter. Mr.
EckofTs daughter, who waa standing
in front of the store, was Ju*t missed
by a bullet.
Dr. T. E. Wilson attended the wound
ed man and wa* an eye-witness to the
•booting. He nay* there were but few
people about and much Iras excitement
than last night when large crowds *t the
same place rreated quite a disturb

Gray (Democrat) of Delaware, occupi
ed the position of defender aiid advo
cate of the administration and Mr.

ator wa* plain and outspoken tn advo
cacy of the annexation of the .Islands
declaring that he disliked to see the
American ling pulled ylown where It had
once been run up, or an American plan
set buck which had been onco 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 had charged
the president with "conspiring" with
royalist Hawaiian conspirators. What
ho Intended to convey, he said, waa
that the president had "conferred"
with them.
The Kyle resolution, cm which the
discussion had been baaed, was nt tho
close of the morning hour, plaocd on
the calendar and tho remainder of
the day’s session wa* occupied with a
‘Mr, Turpls (Democrat) cf
Indiana, in opposition to the Nicara
gua canal bill.
Among the petiions and othc pa
pers presented in the morning hour,
were affidavits and protests from citi
zens of Alabama in reference to the
reesnt election In Alabama, presented
by Mr. Allen (Popuflist) of Nebraska.
The house "pxdlng bill" was report
ed back from the committee on inter
state commerce by Mr. Butler, (Dem
ocrat) of South Carolina favorably and
without amendment, and wus placed on
the calendar—.Mr. chandler (Republi
can), a member of that committee,
giving notice of an amendment, ho
Intended to offer as regards rates in
connection with the Inter-state com
merce law.
The Kyle resolution disapprove* "the
action of the administration In with
drawing our war ships from the Band-
wloh islands, und request* the pres
ident to oraor a vessel to prooeed form-
With from bail riaiicisco to Honolu
lu.”
Mr. Fry* remarked that the discus
sion on Hawaiian qu.u.iona could Just
a* well proceed upon Mr. ICyie’e res
olution a* upon bis own.
At the close at ilr. Gray’* speech
Mr. Hill offered as a substitute for
Mr. Kyle's resolution, the one offered
lost Saturday by Mr. Frye, declaring
that tho senate '.earns with profound
et the attempt to restore a deposed
:r to prwer in the Hawaiian la-
lunds, and extend* to t.V young repub
lic the warmest sympathy In her ef
forts to suppress the rebellion."
No vote was reached upon either
subject, und at 4:40 the senate ad
journed.

to authorize the appointment of a ca
det by a representative or delegate

report upon the urgent deficiency bill.
The senate is recommended to recede
from the amendment to the Income tax
nrovia!on and the house to recede from
its disagreement to the other amend
ments. The report was agreed to.
On bchnlf of Ch.ilrman Wilson, who
