IN' OFFICIAL REPORT.
A it*ten of the Thirteenth Regl-
dale an official report today to
Sen. Miller covering the ooour-
rtstcnlay, when Thomas Car-
« killed. He says:
K|«‘ first advance some pans, bot-
"'I. In some Instances, bedroom
will be heard at 10 o'clock tomorrow
as to Which form at writ, peremptory
or alternative, shall be Issued.
The w»re cutting last night was more
extensive than at any time since the
strike began. The wires on some of
the lines were so badly mutilated tnat
a targe force of man and many hours
w ' or £ 1 wer ? necessary to put them In
working shape. The wires of tne Trey
avoaue line wero cut in several places.
On third avenue line whole secUens of
wires were cut out during the night.
Ft\un Sixtieth to Fifty-fifth not a ves-
J*, an overhead wire of this line
was left. The feed wire at this point
wns also cut. At Twentieth street and
Seventh avenue the cross section on the
curve with that point wus cut out. On
tho Fifteenth street Un* the wires have
been cut nearly along the entire line.
It took many houre o repair the many
breaks because the companies had go
few linemen, and cars on the lines
affected did not run until some time
late In the afternoon.
In a lengthy typewritten statement
President Norton of the Atlantic Ave
nue Railroad Company reviews the
strike and Its cause from the compa
ny’s standpoint. Among other things
It cites that had the demands of tile
men been acceded to, it would have
decreased the present profits of the
company by 150,000 per year. In the
Interest of the stockholders, he says,
he refused the demands. He also gives
hts reasons for his refusal to entertain
the proposition of the men to arbi
trate. Hts main reason for the refusal
Was that, so far as the tines of die com
panies which Ik, represented were con
cerned, the strike was practically over
and It would only be a matter of a few
days when the cans on all the lines
would be running as regularly as they
were .before the strike began. ,
“The duty of the company is to carry
passengers through certain, streets of
Brooklyn and to furnish men and run
care enough to fully accomimmue iiie
public. It may not lawfu.ly cease to
perform hat duty for even an hour.
The directors of « private business
company may, actuated by private
greed or motives ot gain, stop business
or refuse to employ labor at all unless
labor come down to their conditions,
however distressing, for such are the
existing Industrial and social condi
tions. But the directors of railroad
corporations may not do the like. They
are not merely accountable to the public
first and to the stockholders second.
They have duties to the public to per
form and they must perform them.
If they cannot get labor to perform
such duties at what they offer to pay
them they must pay more, and os
much Is necessary to get It. Likewise
if the conditions In reaped of hours
or otherwise which they Impose repel
labor, they must adopt more lhtlcnt or
Just conditions.
“They may not stop their oars for
one hour, mudh less one week, or one
year, thereby to beat or coerce the
price of conditions of labor down to the
price or conditions they offer.
“That a private citizen ha» suffi
cient standing to make this applica
tion. whtah is unquestionable, and has
heretofore been decided by this court,
and I must accept it as law. And It
being admitted that the company Is
not fully operating its lines at road, I
feel It my duty to ollow the writ pray
ed for, either In its peremptory or al
ternative form, unless a sufficient an
swer lias been made In law.
“In respect to tho question of hours
and sregert between the company nnd
Its employes, Its duty was to have gone
on. und now Is to go on with lls full
complement of employes, having the
right gradually and from day to day to
supersede Its employes If It-can by new
employes who will work on Its terms,
or to supersede them all at once- when
It has obtained a sufficient number of
new employes for that purpose: but
it has no right to stop Its care for this
purpose. If the people of the state
were running these roads they wou.d
not thus Incommode themselves, and It
must not bo forgotten that his corpora-
Ion Is Instructed with the running of
heso roads as the servant of the peo
ple of the state.
“Such party bus the right to obtain
the best terms it can: and. as was said
In the freight handlers esse. If the com
pany cannot get men at n price that It
thinks fair. It is bound to get them at
a price It may deem exorbitant, because
Its dtuy Is to run Its road."
THE STRIKE HEADERS ENTHUSED
Judge OaynoFs decision seems <o
have Infused a new spirit Into the lead
ers of the strike, who declare they are
now as determined as ever In their
struggles and believe they will be sue-
retarul, but yet are willing. SS they
hare been from the beginning, to sub
mit the questions at Issue to arbitra
tion.

A telegram from Guahmda says that the
Guatemalan minister m llatr.d will not inter

will be the order of business tomorrow.
The poUcy of toe war department In
abandoning outlying military posts and
concentrating toe army in and n«r
large cities, and the Mississippi river
Improvement afforded themes for the
principal debate of the day, but no

MaElvIn waa convicted of gaming In
