nearly 2.000 people around the stables. Car No. 239,
driven by E. A. Han-cy, a new drivor, was the flrst to
toare tte stables, at 10 a. m., and the track was
guarded on olther sldo by pelicemon, who stood at dls?

Four more cars were run out aud made trlps to the

were made. The flrst real bloodshed took place about
8 p. m. A party of strlkers overtorned a tmek be

Offlcer Patrick Lynch Immedlately chased the men
down Foity-nluth-st. to Elghth-ave., where he caught
and held Jamos Xesdale, a drlver on the Broadway
Rallroad, who said that his addre* was No. 235 West

offlcer on the head, but he luehlly deew It back and lt
fseaped tbe mau'a fooT. Lynch then drew his pktol

Tho crowd tueu made another attempt to rescue

The noise of the firlng brought a squad of pollcrm-n

vlwrous clubbing. Officers Lynch and Thompson
presented a dllapldated appearahce after their gallant
flght with the mob, but fortuuaiely were not seriously

TOXS OF OBSTRUCTIOX OX THE TBACK&
NO CABS RUN ON THE BKLT LINE-TBOUBLE
FEARED IN TENTH-<AVE.
No attempt was made to run a car ou the JJelt Llue
yesterday. Had sueb an undertakHigcbeen venfured
on, lt Is believed that It would have pieclpltatod a
flght between the police and the mob. Insnccti?r
ttstn could not spaio pollcemen enuugh to ftMi a
ear over tbe Pelt Line. The police officlals do not
want to banalo the Belt Llne until they can put not
less fhan 1,000 men Into Tenth-ave. All day, ani
ft*peelally In ttrn aftenioon. the vlclnlty of the stables
wa*. thronged with crowds.
Thore were numero'is sharp eolllRions between tho
p->lke and tbe mob. All durlng the day and nlght tho
Ktrlkers and their friends have been plling up ob
srractlwns on trarks of the H<-lt Llne, until now It |
will requlre flfty men a whole day to clear the path
for a car. All down the avenue tliere have been
dumped loads of aand, aabee, maoure. bricks, etc.
and whatever Ihe strlhers could lay their hands on.
The most formidable obstructlons are on Uie hlll
between thn Ptables and Flfty-nlnth-st. Here tlie
sfrlkers have ptled on tJie ti-ack many tons of, dehrls.
and also about flfteen tons of blg stones.
A ntmor spreart Miroogh the pelghboihood at 2:30
p. m. that the company intended to start a car. In
a few mlnutes tlie avenoe was blaek with peopln.
Captaln KHHlea telephoned for more help and 200
audltlonal pollcemen rstuf over SQ the doubhaquick

"Tho benate blll propoees to tncrease

two cabb rtrr through.
From the goNsip among the striking employea
of the Atlantic Avcnue Railroad Company, ap
prehensioas are felt that the Knights of Lnbor
mav order a strike on all the other Brooklyn
roads withln n day or two. While nothing deilntte
could be learncd on the maticr last night, it was
understood that the various local a*scmblics
would be cillpd uoon to vote on the1 subject at
their meetinga that evening or to-niglit. It was
not thought likely that tbis extremc mensurc
would be adopted within less than forty-eight
hours. but it would not be a surpriso to some
people if no cars were run in Brooklyn aftcr
4 o'clock tc-dav. Thc reason for desiring to tie
ttn all the Brooklyn ronds ls that the Knighta
flrmlr believc that all the companlrs Lwvc com
bined for mutual orotection, with a vicw to
deMrovinz their labor organizations. Efforts are
being made to bring the charge home to the eom?
paniea but even if it ls not absolutcly proven
to be the fact. the mcn may feel so morally oertain
that they have not made a mistako that every
railroad roau will be ordered out
A CONTERENCE AT LAST.
A committee of the employes of the Atlantic
Avetnif Company cnllcd on 1'rcaidcnt Ricunrdson
at his house, and had a conterencc for an hour.
Wallace Seaman, a conductor, aaid that as Mr.
Richardson had aaid he would only receive a
commltue ef his own employes, they had called
to- find out if he would treat with suoh a com?
mittee in the presence of the Exeoutive Board.
or would refcr thc mattcr to arbitration. Mr.
rdson in hit rcply taid:
Now I am wllling on avery polnt that will not tn
creaM tha axpenditura of Hho company for the aarna
imottnt and klnd of aerrtea wo havs xec&lved m tha pa?t

NOT AT AEL A CnEERFUL OUTLOOK.
Although tho Atlantio Avenu* Railroad Com
pany yesterday ran two cars over Ita Fifth ave.
line, it was not bebeved tliat the backbone of the
strike has been broken or tfcatt thc Snuth Ilrooklyn
puhlic ean oxpect a general resumption of trafllc
for aome time. Both Mdes remain flrm. The pre
vailing opinion nmons thc atrikors is that. taM
company has gained nothing, and thnt tlie police
have simply demonstrated that if an extromely
large force of bluecoats is in rcadine&s to protect a
ear there neod b? no fear of vioknee, but thnt
the great number of officer* who escortod tha cars
yesterday cannot be had at all times, and that*
thereforo, it wouM be follr for more than one or
two cars to b* on the roiid at once.
It waa pointed out that the fact thnt almost no
violence was indulged ln by thc strlkers ?<*t#rday
amounts to really nothing; for the strlkers and
their fxienda wwre only amused at what was to
them bot a faroa If tbe polico and the oompany
eaa stand it, they ean, they aoy. and will iaake no
effort to prevent one or two enra bcinj; rui. But
when any attempt is made to operate tlie eara on
aehedule time, or anything approaehlng lt, then,
aay the men, trouble will begin. It would be
aeeeaaary to divide up aJtf luailiibleapo^ce foroe so
that the diatuxbett would hav? no great force to
contend with. On the othf r hsnd, it is claimed
that there woukl bc little (lifliculty in peobecting
ten cars and tlist if that much was accomplislo-d
the company would in a few daya be able to hire
aa many men us they reo.uiro to opmito their wlmle
syatem of elght linea. If tbe stntemente made by
some of the company's employea are true, Ita
preaent force of " scabs" ia not aufticient to man
ten eara At the Atlantle-ave. stablea there are
Mtid to be only four men avallable for duty as
conductor* and driv.ra, and that the force at tho
otber atablea is not any too large to caro for the
stock preperly.

Mr Reagan roaented wlth aome warmth Mr. Snor
raau-s adlualon to the " Fourth of Juiy languace" of
hls amendment; and Mr. bberman dlsclalmed any
offenalve lntontlon ln maklng uso of lt. Mr Reagan
then went on to say tbat he agreed wlth Mr, Frye,
Uiat there waa not a fourthrate European Power
"that would have stood tbo lnsults which the L nlted
States Oovernment has stood from Oermany." lle wao
sorry, ho ssJd, to aee a dl*pos1tion to surlnlt from
mectlug the duty of the Government. The Conaular
Agent of tho I.'ulted btates at Samoa, tho ofllcers and
crews ot American shlps there, and tbe Cnlted btates
cltlrens resldlng there, could not fail to be humllia'ed
by Uia faot that their Oovernment had permitted
Germany lo Iramplo upon their rlghta and upon tha
rlgbts of Samoa, ln tho fsce of troary stlpulatlona and
understandings. Ins-oad of tryhtg to cover them
up, wlbduin and prudence, all tbe Interests of tho
rountry. rcqtilred tho facls to be met. If tho Gov?
ernment of tho L'nlted States had assumed obllgattnns
to Samoa It shonld exeeute them. If lt owed dutles
U? lts cltlzens tbere it should perform those dutles.
\i the flag of tho Cnlted 6tates had been Insulted.
If property of l'nlted Btatos eltlzens In samoa had
bean plsced at tbe mercy of German traders through
tbo acllou of tlie German Oovernment. tbo lact ought
to bo recognlzed; and on* of two thlngs ought to
be done. If tho rlghta of the Cnlted States w'ro to
be abniptly abardoiiod. the American Couiul and the
romnianders of American shlus ought td bo callcd
home, and not s thjected tn fnsult and degradatlon,
snd whatevor rlghta the Unltod Btates had *herc
ought to b-i abannotied. Or e|s'< thc r.ghts wblcb be*
b.nged to this couutry ought to be aaserted squarely
and manfnlly.
Mr. Frye vlded some further remarks ?q to th' lm
portanco of the barbor of l'ago-Pago to the eommercial
and othcr lnterc.il- of tbe ' nlted States on the Pa
rlflo Oeean, and then proceeded to read and commctit
upon an Assoclated Press dlspstch Jtst recelved
from Auckland, New-ZeaJand. The dlspatch and
comment* rau along tn thls way:
"Advtcoa from Samoa atato tbat the Gertr.in ofllclala
havo glven notlco that all vesaels arrlving there will be
seerehed for artlclea oontrabrand of war." Bo that the
rlrht of aearch of American veaseU (lf tftis dlapatch ls
Bjsjtatf ta aaserted by Germany. "They havo suppreaaed
'The Bamosn Tirnea.' "
If that ls true, then frce speech Ia atopped ln Samoa.
"A paaaenger on a Britiah stosmcr who vtalted
Matsafa's camp waa Immediaiely ptit under arrest, but
wsa aubacquenUy released ln compUsnoa wlth tbe de?
mand ot thc Biitlah consui."
If he had been an American I snppoae lt would not
hsre done for the American Oanaul to havo demandod hla
relea*e.
"A proclamatlon has been iasned putttng tho Apia
police foroe under German control. Mausfa'a- foUowera
number 0.000. They are atroogly bitroncbed. Other
bamoaii- are rspidly jolnlng them: On tbe ariival of
the airamer Rluhiuonl aho waa boarded and aoarchod for
guna."
Of course, Mr. Frya contlnuod. I do not know
whether tbo statements In thls dlspatch are true. But
tf they am true, then three asaorttons are made by the
Gcrmans In Samoa. Ono is, tha right of tearrh of
Amerlean vcsssLs golng lnto the barbora of a natlon
with which we are ln treaty relatlons; tho second lt tho
atipprossion of free spaoch; the other ls assumtng thc
oontrul of tbo polico of Apia?a rounlcipailty, which
by tho agrecmeut between Germany, England, the
CTiltad Statas and tho Samoan Ktng, waa made noutral
gruutid.
