THE NEW YORK srREET-cAR TrE-UP.
NEW YORK, April 20.--Ths tis-up
on the streetcar lines has been partly
unlocked, and cars on all the roads are
running, all but the Third-Avenue
road sending out their regular number
Of cars. The order to relieve the
tie-up on all the lines but the
Third-Avenue was issued early this
morning by the officers Of the En-
pire Protective Association on tho
assurance being given them that the
officials Of the other companies were
not assisting and would not assist the
Third-Avenue road. The latter road
ran . number of cars with new drivers
and conductors, hut the inside and plat
forms Of these cars were filed with po-
lice officers. All along the route the
new drivers and conductors, aud even
the police, were saluted by the jeers
and yells of the crowds which collected
at different points. At Park Row, the
end Of the journey, the sidewalk was
lined with the crowd, but no one inter-
fered to oppose the progress Of the cars.
Twenty.eight cars were running on
the Third-Ayenue Line to-day. Some
cars will be started on the One-Hun-
dred-and- Twenty-ffth- Street Line this
afternoon. The strikers will ask the
Aldermen to amend the drivers license
law and have the unlicensed drivers
subject to police-court offences. Du-
ring the morning no trouble was ex-
perienced in running cars.
THE SITUATION IN ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, April 20.-It is generally
conceded here that the Knights-of-Labor
strike, so far as the business Of the va
rious roads centering in this city aud
East st. Louis is concerned, is gradually
loosiDg its effect.
Two sentinels patrolling the railroad
yards in East St. Louis we're fired upon
before daylight this morning by some
persons as yet unknown. Neither OF
them were hit. They returned the fire,
but proved bad marksmen, as their
sssailants escaped.
A special from Little Rock, Ark, to
the POSt-Dispatch states that Deputy
Sheriff Williams, who was assaulted
and badly beaten by strikers while he
was guarding the Mountain railroad
property, has received a check for $500
from Jay Gould.

The Locai-OpriOn Hastings
Court-Changc Of Gauge.
As the day for the local-option cleo.
ton approaches interest in the subject
increases, and both sides hold meetings
almost daily. The local-optionists hold
open meetings ard have speaking, and
the anti's hold secret ones. The latter
met over Dayis's saloon yesterday
afternoon, and discussed the mat
ter at some length. The several
committees made encouraging reports
of progress committees fox work on
election'day were appointed and such
other slm'rar measures taken as were
considered necessary. 1t was decided
not to hold mass.moctipg at all. The
"wet "-men are confident of success,
and some think the vote will be two to
one in their favor.
The temperance-men are likewise con-
fident of success, and are working ear
nestly. They have organized q prohi-
bition club, with the following officers !:
Robert Peasley, president; James Fitz-
gerald, vice-president Frank Dumford,
secretary.
Mr.. Tanning, Of Michigan, addressed
a large crowd in front of the market last

and ably sustained his reputation as q
speaker. lie will speak here again
Thursday afternoon at O'Clock. There
will also be temperance speaking here
tonight and probably every night this
week. The local-optionists hoped to
have DR.. Hawthorne to speak over
here, but he will be unable to do so, as
he will have to leave for Lynchburg
Friday.
The only case tried in the Hastings
Court yesterday was that Of Thomas F.
Hancock, of Chesterfield, who was fined
500 in the Mayors Court for assault,
and who took an appeal. The jury
brought in verdict of mot guilty."
Mr.. Thomas w. Gentry, master ma
chiuist Of the shops of the Danville sys-
TEN at Atlanta, Georgia, left for that
city yesterday afternoon. lie has been
at the shops here since Sunday intro
ducing his new system Of removing car
wheels. The new method has been tried
with perfect success at the Atlanta end
Of the road, and will no doubt work
efficiently here. The change of gauge,
which great undertaking it is pro-
posed to accomplish in two days, will
be made about the 3lst Of May.

senate I'm Executive Session


WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The Sen
ate in executive session to-day rejected
the proposed treaty to reopen the
We'll and La Abra claims against Next
CO. The object of the pending treaty
is to reopen the case in order to give
Mexico a chance to prove that the
claims were fraudulent and the origi-
nal treaty procured by fraud. The
money claimed has been paid by Next
co and portion paid to the claimants,
but q larger part is held by the State
Department to await the result Of the
effort to reopen the case. The vote
upon the treaty was 80 yeas to &c
nays, being less than the two thirds
necessary for its ratification.
Proceeding to the calendar Of confr-
nations considerable number Of cases
were disposed Of. Among those con-
firmed is Zach. Montgomery to be AS
sistant Attorney-General for the In
terror Department.

RALEIGH, April 20.-The State
Board of Agriculture meets tomorrow.
The session will be an interesting one,
as it will perhaps settle the fate Of the
proposed industrial school, about which
so much has been said and so many dis
sensions have arisen. No one can tell
what action the Board will take. Some
persons are using arguments looking to
the adoption of industrial education as
a branch of instruction in all the pub
lie schools. This is manifestly in
many, if not in most cases, impractical
bic.
Governor Scales to-day decided to
leave here Sunday night for the great

pleasure from it.
The late Colonel John A. Sloan had
in manuscript history Of North Caro-
lima during the late war. A small part
of it was published. His means gave
out, and he sought to have the
Legislature make An appropriation for
it's publication. The bill failed to pass,
and this largely increased Colonel
Sloan's mental depression. 1t is said
that the manuscript Of the remainder
Of the work has been secured, and that
a prominent gentleman will republish
the book. The publication will be Of
interest, while 1t will not pay pecu-
piarily.

Each club presented different bat

game, and the Rochesters were unable
to catch on to him for moro than three
singles and three-bsgger.
In the fourth inning the Rochesters
made three successive hits, and got as
many men on bases, but the third man
was put out before they could get

made during the evening were the
three-base hit by Hackett and the

In introducing the bill providing for
the retirement Of disabled officers of the

Military Committee, to which the bill
was referred, the urgent need of some
legislation to relieve the active list of

disabled and eligible for retirement, but
who cannot be retired under the present
laws, because the retired list is full.

morning business tomorrow he would
