SAN FRANCISCO, Jan, 18.—The steamer ‘Alameda arrived from Auckland and Sydney via Honolulu this afternoon and brings news of a revolu'ion and bloodshed at Honolulu. Charles L. Carter, who was cne of the annex- ation commissioners, was killed and several other government supporters wounded, There has been much fighting, and at least twelve natlves have been Killed. Nearly 200 royal- {st§ are under arrest. Robert Wilcox Is the leader of the rebels. The fighting was still in progress when the Alameda left Hono- lulu on January 11, but the government forces had practically cvercome the revolu- tionists. The Associated press has the fol- lowing correspondence: HONOLULU, Jan. 11, 1895.—There were no fresh developments in the threatened up- rising until last Sunday afternoon, the Gth instant, when tha marshal's detectives brought news for that officer immediately to summon the cabinet and leading officers of the military and Citizens' guards for con- sultation. In a few minutes after their ar- rival Deputy Marshal Brown and a squad of police, under Captain Parker, left for the beach at Wal-ki ki, with orders to search the premiscs of Henry Bertelmann, a prom- inent royalist, for arms and ammunition. Just previous to reaching the place the posse was joined by Charles L. Carter, Alfred Car- ter and J. B. Castle, who lived near by, all members of the Citizens' guard. On ap- proaching the house the deputy marshal left the squad on the lawn while he entercd the house, and, finding Berte'mann and a strange white man there, procesded to read his warrant. When half way through shots were heard from the house. The officers asked quickly: that mean?” Bertelmann replied: “I know about it; there are no arms here.” MET BY A VOLLEY. Brown rushed out to Join his squad just as Charles Carter shouted: ‘‘There they are under the boatshed,” pointing to a shed in the rear of the lot, and rushing forward, fol- lowed by his cousin, Castle, and the others. At that Instant a volley was.fired by a crowd of natives under the shed, and Charles Car- ter and Lieutenant Holl fell wounded. The police charged and drove the natives out on the beach, when the latter retreated to the brush, keeping up a desultory firing. As the police only numbered elght, and there were three or four times as many natives, they returned to the house, taking with them three of the rebels whom they had captured in the melee, during which some sixty shots ‘were fired. Taking the wounded men caring for them as well as aearched the prisoners, placing under arrest. The first one was recognized as John Lane. He had a heavy revolver, belt of cartridges and rifle; the second a pocket pistol and belt of cartridges. other was unarmed, but a short rifle was _found behind the door, which evidently be- “longed to him, as Holl says he was the man Who shot him. There is no doubt that Car- ter's three wounds came from Lane's pistol, it having three empty chambers. By this time the rebels regained their courage and surrounded the house, firing into it repeat- edly. Leaving one man to guard the pris- oners, the officers returned the fire, but without cffect, as thelr assaflants could not be seen. Realizing that thelr case was and that word must be got to town at all hazards, it was resolved that Brown and Parker should make a dash for their horses, which were tied near the house. This was done with success, and they were soon at the nearest telephone. Alfred Carter, who had been missing since nothing in and possible, first they Bertelmann desperate the wounding of his cousin, was supposed to be dead, but in reality had escaped with the same ‘ddea and for the purpose of getting a doctor for his cousin, He had already tele- phoned to the marshal's office, besides being fortunate in finding a doctor, with whom he returned to the scene of the fight alone. On apprcaching the gate they were met with a volley. Dropping to the ground, Carter re- turned three shots, but realizing the impos- #ibility of getting into the house unhurt, they both made their escape. About this take it by storm, when one of the officers told Bertelmann he would blow his out on the instant the first man went side the house and hurt any one. mann called to the natives outside to that effect and they at once withdrew and ceased firing.

They met with no resistance until they reached Palolo val- ley, over the ridge of which a_stone wall extends, behind which a large body of in- surgents, with a small howitzer, were es- tablished. The first Intimation Murray's force had of an enemy was a shower of bul- lets and shrapnell, which did no harm. Had the natives waited a little longer Murray's troops could have been annihilated. They retreated. a short distance, established and fortified a camp and_established telephone communication with Lieutenant King, the object being to prevent any possible retreat. This fight occurred on the side of a mountain, whose serrated sides form almost in: essl- ble valleys of little width. It was the object of the government troops to drive the rebels around the base of the mountain from whence there s no escape except over the famous Pali road, which ten or twenty men could hold against a small army. As foon as It was known in Honolulu on Sunday afternoon that there was organized resistance to the government, no time was lost in communicating the fact to its sup- porters, both by telephone and messenger. No general alarm was given, it not being deemed necessary. In response the four com- panies of militia donned their uniforms and repaired to their armorles, the members of the Citizens' guard reported to their re- spective rendezvous, and yet o quietly was everything done that many In the city were unaware that anything had happened out of the usual Sunday quiet. Between 8 and 9 p. m., however, the ap- pearance of squads of the citizens' guard at every street corner told the tale. Peo- ple were quietly warned to go home and stay there. Every important avenue was guarded by equads numbering from twenty to forty members of this body, leaving the entire military force at the immediate dis- posal of the government. Cabinet and army officials made their headquarters at the mar- shal's office during the night, but nothing occurred to warrant particular alarm. PROCLAIMED MARTIAL LAW. In the morning the news from the front decided the government to take immediate and stringent measures for its protection. At 9:30 martial law was proclaimed, and all saloons and liquor etores closed. The news of the death of Carter, who was a popular young lawyer, and was recently elected a member of the legislature, intensified the general feeling and it would have gone hard with his assassins had they not been strongly guarded. By noon Monday all the stores were closed, and there were few peo- ple on the etreets. The street cars and *buses were stopped, and the only excitement was at the marshal's office, where arms were being distributed. The announcement that the writ of habe: corpus was suspended was quickly followed by one requiring all persons not engaged in the military cr police force to deliver all arms or ammunitions in thelr possession to the marshal within twenty-four hours. Af- ter conferring with Captain Murray at noon on Monday, Captain Zeigler and a company of regulars was dispatched to his ald, taking with them an Austrian field piece. The ten pound shells from this gun scattered the natives in every direction, but did not seem to hurt any one of them. At 2 o'clock the troops advanced and forced the rebels in the brush, Lieutenant Ludwlg and ten men be- ing detailed for a flank movement. As soon as Ludwig got Into position the natives were beaten »nd scattered into the dense brush, fcllowed by the troops. It ls certain many of them were wounded here, as blood, shreds of clothing, etc., were seen every- where. The only man wounded from the government force was Ludwig, who received a flesh wound In the thigh. TOOK THE FIRST PRISONERS. Here the first prisoners were taken, seven in number, and from them it was learned that the leaders of the rebels were Sam Now- len, formerly colonel of the queen’s house- hold guards, and Robert Wilcox, who was the leader of the revolution in 1887, the other prominent ones being halt whites, formerly in the service of the queen. After the first surrender the natives came dropping into the government camps in bunches, until there were soon more prisoners than troops. The prisoners claimed they had 600 rifles, but only 500 men were arrested. At 6 o'clock the government forces camped for the night, pursuit being impossible in the dense brush. While this was going on the tug Eleu, with a field piece and a detail of the sharp- shooters company, left Honolulu, and in a half hour was In a position to shell from the rear the natives whose camp fronted Lieu- tenant King's command. A few well-di- rected shots scattered them like sheep, one shot falling directly into the native camp. It is known that five men were killed here and a large number wounded. The natives were pursued by Lieutenant Coyne's com- pany as far as the nature of the ground al- lowed. A shot from his fleld plece scattered a crowd of them who appeared on the edge of the crator, and four dead"bodies were the result, Thirty-six rifles, two 100-pound boxes of cartridges and two dynamite bombs were found in an improvised fort, also a lot of clothing, including a s United States navy dress coat. Squads of troops scoured the summit of Diamond Head, but no natives were found. Two cases of gin were found and brought to headquarters. After being examined by Dr. Cooper, the army surgeon, the stufft was pronounced poisoned and de- stroyed. A government spy who had been sent to the rebel camp returned on Tuesday at 10 p. m, stating that he had succeeded In reaching the camp and gaining the confi- dence of the natives, There were about 150 under command of Robert Wileox, who claimed to have 1,000 men, with plenty of arms, provisions, etc. Sam Nowlein, with seventy-fiye more, was said to be within a short distance. The rebel program was to march to Punch Bowl and capture the pow- der magazine there. The spy's storles caused two companies of volunteers to occupy Punch Bowl before midnight. One fleld piece was taken along. At noon on Wednesday there were 163 prisoners in jail, about 100 being' prisoners of war. “ REBELS PENNED 1IN, During the afternoon heavy firlng was heard at Manoa valley. At 4 o'clock a com- pany of sharpshooters and another of the Citizens guard drove the rebels from the ridge downward, while the companies and battery from the Punch Bowl were in pos- session of the other side of the valley. The rebels were hemmed in, with no possible es- cape except by hand {o hand climbing for 2,000 feet. The lowest estimate of the rebel force is sixty, the highest 200. At 6 p. m. a courier brought word that one rebel had been killed, one mortally wounded and six captured, At midnight another rebel was captured, Carl Wideman, son of Liliuoka- lani’s latest envoy to the United States, has been missing since last Thursday, and it is believed he wil be found among the rebels. Taere were no casual- tles on the government side. Two prisoners from the seat (f war were sent in yesterday, One is a half white car- penter named Pool, who says he left the Wilcox party the night before. When cap- tured he had a Winchester and 100 rounds of certridges. None of the Wilcox party had had anything to eat since Monday except guavas and & bullock they had killed. Pool ald Wilcox had thirty men yet. The rest of his party were either wounded, dead, de- serted or taken prisoners. Another capture was Arthur Fitzgerald. Straggling prisoners were brought in during she afternoon, and at this time it looks as though all, with the exception of Wilcox and his band of thirty, have been wiped out. A cavalry corps is belng organized. The city is quiet, and the banks and many of the stores have resumed business.

FAURE Perier's Successor Praised by the Press of England's Capital, FRANCE'S FIRST PROTESTANT RULER A Man Without Angles, with the Imagina- tion of the Southerner, Practical Senso of the Norman and Serlous. ness of a Sewite. LONDON, Jan. 18.—The Paris correspond- ent of the Daily News says: *‘The members of congress arrived at Versailles practically unpledged. One of the results of the multi- plicity of parties in France is that they are unable to put forward a strong man on an emergency. There cannot be that sclentific organization which is used to perfection in America, where the successor of an American Casimir-Perier would have been- there when wanted, ““Congress hall had a hurried look. The ladles’ dresses were the best they could show, but were not made for the occasion. Baron de Courcel, the French ambassador to ireat Britain, is said to have spent two hours in handshaking. He scemed to Know every- body. A lady who was taken by many to be Sarah Bernhardt sat on the tribune reserved for the wives of senators. Her figure, fea- tures and style were strikingly Bernhardt- esque. When M. Waldeck-Rousseau’s name was called, she blew a Kiss to him with the tip of her fan. She was his wife. He showed no anxiety during the first ballot, but be- stirred himself during the second. M. Faure was little noticed until the first count, when it became certain that he would win. “I regard this as the most reassuring sign we have yet had for the quiet of France. President Faure is a moderate. but unlike Casimir-Perier or Waldeck-Rousseau he will have no prejudice against calling radicals to office whenever they have a majority. M. Waldeck-Rousseau would have dissolved the Chamber. This accounts for his defeat. M. Faure, on the contrary, will try to agree with ‘the Chamber. In’ many respects he will be a president like Carnot, that Is to say_without angles. He is a fast friend of ex-Minister Siegfried, who takes a deep in- terest in the Young Men's Christian associa- tion. T dwell upon this fact, keeping in mind the proverb that ‘A man is known by the company he keeps.” This friendship speaks volumes of praise for the new president. M Siegfried showed as much joy over the elec- tion ns though M. Faure was a beloved son. M. Faure’s protestantism is not narrow, since Lis daughter married a Roman Catholic, but he himself never embraced Catholicism. Therefore he is the firet Protestant ruler that France has ever had, for Henry IV. mounted_the throne after recanting at Notre Dame M. Faure s an able speaker, of southern fluency and imagination, with’ the hard head and practical sense of the Norman. Like Carnot, his opinions are rather neutral, but in fast hues. He has a gravity that is the opposite of dullness, and he is so free from conceit that he can agree with almost any one. His presence is finer than that of any other president. His figure is tall and well knit, but is that of a man in whom the nervous system predominates over the mus- cular. There is the seriousness of the Arab-Semite in the well set eyes, though he can have no Semite blood, unless through the Saracens who overrun the south of France and settled for some time at Nimes. His features are finely shaped. When a smile lights up his pensive countenance it makes it charming. He has the name ot being an obliging and kind and conscientious master. His character s too harmoniously developed for etreaks of dishonesty to in- vade it. His black eyebrows and mustache contrast with his snowy close-cut hair. He has the look of Clemenceau in his eyes, forehead and the shape of his head, which is round and well poised. “M. Faure has had his eye a good deal on China since €he and Japan went to war. He looks forward to startling developments in foreign affairs. He is not one of the jingoes, but the reforming spirit he showed at the marine ministry and his great ac- tivity have endeared him to all there. He has been too hard and serious a workman at his own business and in public affairs to be mixed up in the Relnach, Felix, Martin or other financial affairs that have been so detrimental to the republic. FAURE NO BETTER THAN PERILR. Press of Paris Hardly Satisfied with the New Chief Exccullve, PARIS, Jan. 18.—The election of M. Felix Faure has been well received by the moder- ate press and is violenty criticized by the radical and socialists newspapers. The Journal des Debats says it is gratified at the defeat of M. Brisson and that in electing M. Faure, who is a man of liberal and moderate mind and clear and sound in- tellect, the national assembly places the destinies of France in good hands. The Radical is of the opinion that the election leaves matters in the condition of uncertainty and of Instability from which the republic is suffering. M. Millerand, the socialist deputy and editor of the Petite Republique, says in his paper this morning that M. Faure is not president, but a mere supernumerary, add- ing: “The soclallst party cannot be di- verged by the election of ‘a man who has neither individuality of character nor par- ticular worth.” The Lanterne predicts the beginning of an era of violent reaction, and addz: “‘Where Casimir-Perier failed Faure will also fail. We shall return to Versallles before the year expires.” Parls_was very tranquil last night. The boulevards were no more crowded than usual and the suburbs were not exc'ted, The work- ing classes were astonished at M. Brisson's defeat, but no demonstrations were reported, The entire police force was held in readiness for an emergency, but their services were not required for anything further than the polico duties. A meeting of socialists and others took place yesterday evening at the Maison du Peuple at which a number of exciting speeches were mad Resolutions strongly condemning M. Felix Faure were adopted and other resolutions demanding the suppres- sion of the presidency were passed amid cries of “Viva la revolution sociale!” “Down with reaction!" BERLIN, Jan. 18.—The National Zeitung says M. Faure was only elected with the help of a majority of the senate, which was the fate of M. Casimir-Perier, whose political leaning 1s identical with that of M, Faure. The paper does not predict greater perma- nence for the presidency of M. Faure, The Vossische Zeltung says that M. Faure has hitherto been known abroad as a poli- tictan, but s regarded as being above re- proach. It adds that he is a very energetic and earnest worker. The Tageblatt says it expects M. Faure's policy will be a pacific one. The question Is how long he will be able to withstand rad- fcalism and socialism. ¥iji Islands Swept by u Storm. AUCKLAND, N.

The government has a bill tabled providing for the winding up of the bank, but it is opposed by the shareholders and many of the creditors.

D., Jan. 18.—(Special Tele- gram,)—Bx-Governor Arthur Mellettee, who has been attending a meeting of the bondsmen of ex-Treasurer Taylor in Chicago, returned to the city today and granted an interview, in which he declared in his judg- ment the treasurer has left the country. The b:ndsmenshad a conference with Law- yer Tenney of Chicago, who was in con- sultation with Taylor before his flight and who has the present management of his affairs. Tenney refused to indicate the where- abouts of Taylor, but declared that he had full power of attorney in the case and could, when necessary, produce the signature of Taylor and his wife. Mellette states that Taylor had very little money with him, and that there is every reason to suppose that most of the cash which he was supposed to have In his possession at the time cf the flight was paid over to secure loans made to tide the treasurer over until the end of the campaign. As a matter of fact, Taylor did during the last weeks of December take up a number of his private obligations. He owed the Chase National bank of New York $20,000, secured by his personal n-te, en- dorsed by his father, and the Lafayette bank $10,000 similarly secured, and he paid oft these notes. He also discharged a number of cther debts which had been guaranteed by personal friends. CRITICIZES TAYLOR'S JUDGMENT. Mellette states that Taylor has probably been short for a number of years, in fact, ever since he went into the office. In fact, instead of being the cool, conservative busi- ness man he was universally considered to be, he seems to have gone Into every wild en- terprise he could find, and has evidently been the tool of designing men. For ex- ample, he invested $15,000 in Anacortez on the Pacific coast in town lots which are not today worth a cent. He put $35,000 into Chicago real estate at the time of the World's fair, and bought property which could not be sold today for a third of that sum. He also invested $10,000 in a World's fair hotel, which proved a great financial failure, and bought town lots in Cripple Creek, Colo., which resulted in heavy financlal loss. These, in connecticn with the wild way in which he placed the state money, $20,000 in one place and $100,000 in another, wrecked him, as it was sure to do. When the campaign was on last fall he found himself close to the wall, adn, though friends and relatives rajsed all they could to prevent exposure before the election, and it took all or nearly all, the money he got from the special call for taxes In December to square these. Mellette thinks he did nct carry away to exceed $50,000. The bondsmen will attempt to secure a release from the state, and, In case they can't get that, will fight the collection on the ground that the state did not use due diligenice in watching the treas- urer, and that the heavy shortage could casily have been discovered at any time dur- ing the past two years. CUTTING ALL SALARIES, South Dakota Legislators Devote Some Time to the Discussion of Econumy. PIERRE, 8. D, Jan. 18.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The senate spent the day largely in discussion of economy. It began well by pass- ing, with a vote of 42 to 1, Senator Boyce's Dbill for a constitutional convention. Then the matter of pay for the senate employes was taken up. The committee on legislative éxpenditures reported favorably on cutting the salaries from 50 cents to $1 a day over those of two years ago, but after an hour's discussion, which Senators Boyce, Lothian and Lawrence supported the committee and Senators Pease, Rice, Howell and Wilson op- posed it, the senate, by a vote of 21 to 16, gave the clerks the old schedule. After the _introduction of a considerable number of bills Senator Alpin moved to adjourn over until Tuesday, and General Pease and one or two others supported him, when Senator Foote jumped to his feet and read the riot act to the senate, declaring that in the present condition of the state it was thelr business to work, and that if they wished to finish their business in good shape during the ses- sion they ought to keep clean books every day. Foote's speech was supported by Lothian, Doran, Howard and Allison, and it carried the senate with him. On the motion to adjourn, there was not a negative vote. In the’louse Mr. oHsmer's bill, providing that outside insurance companies shall not place fire insurance In this state except through resident agents, licensed by the state auditor, passed. Also Mr. Hair's bill legalizing the election of 1894 In Butte county, under which the county seat was located. Viek's bill raising the exemption of personal property to $100 and providing that each person shall ist all his personal prop- erty with the county auditor, came up. After a lievly discussion, in which it was advocated by Glass, Dowdell and McCaughey and opposed by Herrick, Wilson, Parker, Donohue, Lucas and others, it was indefi- nitely postpcned. Speaker Howard was granted leave of ab- sence for three days and Glass of Coding- ton county was unanimously elected speaker protem. SCANDA MINNESOTA, cgisiative Investigations Stir Up Rotten Deals on Appropriations. ST. PAUL, Jan. 15.—In the house today Mr. Feig called up his resolution to investi- gate the financial status of al public funds which are alleged to be deposited in the interest of and for the benefit of those public officials having them in charge. B. Smith of Hennepin county introduced a sub- stitute resolution for the same investigation to be made by a joint committee instead of simply by a committee of the house, but gives the chief authority fn the matter to the public examiner. Mr. Felg positively op- posed the surject on the ground that the one official, who could have nothing to do with the matter, since it was largely through his failure of duty that suc a state of affairs as the resolution indicated became possible, was the public examiner. He asked simply for a fair and honorable investigation of these most serious charges. A letter from the attorney general of Wis- consin on ‘“the treasury 6candal” In that state was read, in which he #ald he had heard that minor officlals had recelved personal benefits from funds in their charge in the same way as in Wisconsin, and gave details of the amounts received from former treasurers in Wieconsin, Mr. Feig sald this inveatigation is not- intended for persecution, nor should a whitewash be permitted. He Qi not say that the &tate (reasurers of Minnesota had been doing anything wrong, but since such allegations had been made in the newspapers, he thought there should be @ thorough investigation. These reports. of illegal actions by state or other public treas urers gave the amount as from $160,000 to $250,000; the reports showed over $300,000 of tate bonds deposited in banks that have failed. He wanted proof of the truth or falsity of the charges, and expressed the hope that the charges would be proven false. He ended with an eloquent appeal in sup- port of his request for an investigation. Mr. Underwood of Hennepin favored the Felg resolution. The Smith substitute was defested by & unanimous vote.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 18.—After taking six bal- lots without much change the republican caucus, by a vote of seventy-one to forty- one, adjourned at 12:03 without setting a day for meeting and without having de- ded on a candidate, This throws the natter on the floor of the legislature next uesday unless a new caucus i< called, which is not likely.

All business was suspended for the day. The military, with mufled drums, civie societies aXnd all the fire departments of the state marched in the procession. All buildings were draped in mourning. Ten thousand people followed the dead to the cemetery, and thousands lined the streets. Nine hearses contained the bodies of the dead firemen. One hearse contained the bits and shreds of humanity, over which wept the widow and orphans of the brave Marshal Cameron. Behind the dead firemen rode James Flannery, sole survivor of the crew. Eight unclaimed bodies were buried by the relief committee. Five of the wounded at the hospital are sinking and cannot recover. Several parts of bodies werg found today half a mile from the scene of the explosion. Several of the victims were burled privately vesterday, after the coroner's jury had been empaneled and viewed the remains. The in- quiry into the cause of the disaster which is expected to develop some strong evidence against the owners of the warehouse where it s Jdeclared many times the amount of glant powder that is allowed by law was stored, was postponed until next week. The ‘work of relief is making excellent prog- ress. Nearly $12,000 were subscribed, the Northern Pacific Railroad company and sev- eral mining concerns contributing $1,000 each. The committee visited the families of all the victims and found many of them in most dis- tressing conditions. It is significant, in look- ing for the cause of the explosion, that nearly all the railroad men who were em- ployed about the Montana Central yards fled when the fire began. It is said that most of them knew that there was a large quantity of powder stored in the neighborhood, and they informed everybody they met to that effect. There was but $6,600 insurance on all the property outside of that owned by the rallroad companies. Hour after hour the disaster has been put- ting on more distressing proportions, and it looks now as if the real weight and extent of the terrible calamity would never be known. The list of known dead has swelled to fifty-three, and there are at least four in the hospitals who cannot recover. Included in the list are the four missing firemen—Dave Moses, Sam Ash, P. J. Norling and Ed Sloan —but not Hoffbauer, nor any of the other missing. The report scems to have gone abroad that “the entire city was blown up. Telegrams and cablegrams to the number of several thousand have been received from all parts of the globe making inquiries as to the safety of friends, — - HALF A MILLION BURNED UP.

The leaders are advocating moderation, but there is a large number of wild spirits who want to see trouble. The Court street and Flatbush line of the Brooks Iyin railroad are being operated with theis entire complement of cars, The Fifth avenua line of the Atlantic system was also running, and there were more cars than have been in operation since the strike began. There ara in this city now about 150 men from Philas delphia. They are for the most part experienced motormen, and cars were found for them they were put to work. Law= less demonstrations were frequent in the carly hours. As a Court street car was passe ing First plase a group of strikers stopped 1t and so terrorized the motorman that he des serted his car and took to his heels. When the second car started out there was some excitement caused by the firing of two shots by somebody in a crowd that surrounded the car, and drove the motorman from the plate form. The police chased the crowd away. No arrests were made. The five cars fol- lowing were tied up at the corner of Court and Second place by strikers, who asked the' motorman and conductor of each car to' leave. Bight men deserted their cars and left them standing on the track. | On the Putnam avenuo line a crowd stopped a car, pummeled the m-torman and smashed the car windows. The police drove the crowd back for a block. John Nesbitt was arrested. Several of the strikers on this line applied to Superintendent Campbell fon reinstatement, During the night motor boxes of several of the Fifth avenue cars, while standing in the shed at Ffith avenue and Twenty-third street, wero destroyed. President Ncrton of the Atlantic avenus railway has made formal application to the mayor for the calling out of the militia _and the federal troops to protect his new employes, to open up his lines and protect the mail cars from dams age. A Halsey street car was attacked by a mob of seventy-five strikers. The motorman and conductor’ were dragged off the car and beaten. A passenger named E. A. Spink was knocked down twice and seriously injured by, tho strikers for denouncing them. The mob was finally dispersed by the police. As a car of the Putnam avenue line was passing Saratoga avenue it was fired upon by, a party of men, said to be sympathizers with the strikers, but nobody was hurt. There Were no arrests. President Lewis of the Brooklyn Helghts company prothises that within forty-eight ‘hours he will have cars running on all that company’s lines. He says that hereafter cone tracts will be made with Individuals and not with organizations, The inability of the police to guard all the carsin the city is shown by the fact that alk told there about 2,300 surface cars and only 1,500 policemen. The letter of the Board of Arbitration in reply to a communication froml Mayor Schierer simply reviews the work of the board and states the board sees no way clear to settling the strike by mediation on arbitration. Mayor Shiren made a requisition this even- ing upon Brigadier General James McClerth for the Brooklyn militia to be in readiness tomorrow, as the police from the beginning have been inadequate to cope with the diffi= culties. The purpose of the authorities is to have militiamen stationed at the depots while the police force is to protect the cars. The entire Second brigade, which consists of all the companics in the city of Brooklyn, has been ordered under arms. It is ex- pected that 2,000 men will be ready for duty. by 4 o'clock Saturday morning. The ma- jority of the men are rapidly gathering at the armories and will probably be started out about 5 o'clock. ot T REDEEMED THE WATER WORK! as Clarenco H. Vennor Upsets tho Some Denver People.
