o'clock this afternoon. About 2:30 o'clock the
police had hard work in clearing Yonge street Of
the crowds congregated there. They charged on
the CROWD repeatedly, using their batons most
effectively. The crowd retaliated by throw
ing bricks, sticks and stones The police
succeeded, after half hours hard work, in dis
persing the mob, who, however. congregated
around the street-car stables. The police again
appeared, and after a severe struggle dispersed
the crowd Mayor Rowland has issued a procla-
nation calling upon lawabiding citizens to pre-
serve the peace and not congregate on
the streets. Meantime. the Mayor and
aldermen had met informally, and after
discussing the situation. deputations were ap-
pointed to wait upon the president of the horse
car company and the strikers. The result of
those conferences, it is believed, is that the
strikers will return to work tomorrow morning
upon the same conditions that existed before the
lockout. The rumor got abroad that the COM
pany agreed to take the men back uncondition-
ally, and If the strikers are under this impres-
sicn there may be trouble again tomorrow.

sTREET-CAR TROUBLES.
The Toronto Strike Assumes a Serious Phase
Rioters Clubbed by the Police

The Toronto Strike Assumes Serious Phase
Rioters Clubbed by the Police.
TORONTO, March 12-The street railway
troubles assumed serious aspect to-day Ac.
cording to instructions of the president Of the
company, the running of the street-cars was left
in the hands of the city commissioner. Late
this morning a car manned with force of police
left the stables and started out over the Front
street route. A mob Immediately appeared and
adopted obstructive tactics and before the car
had proceeded very many blocks, the street was
completely blockaded by coal CARTS express
wagons, etc. The police were powerless to stop
this, and the attempt to get the car through was
abandoned The car was then turned toward
the stables, when the mob attacked it and COM
pletely wrecked it. The driver and conductor
were seized by the rioters, and were pretty se-
verely injured before being rescued by the police.
A squad of mounted police here came upon the
scene and charged the mob. using their batons
freely. Several of the mob were struck by stones
and injured. while one policeman was knocked off
his horse, butwas not seriously hurt. Two arrests
were made. and, in spite of the efforts that were
made to rescue them, the prisoners were taken
to the station. The horses OF the car were taken
back to the stables, and preparations were made
to run another car on the King and Yonge-street
route. The police were reinforced, and strong
detachments were located along the route. The
mob repeatedly charged and attempted to dis
able the car, but the police were determined,
and succeeded in getting the car through. The
batons were again freely used, and with good
effect. Tne ringieaders were arrested. At the
present time but few cars are running either on
the Queen or Yonge street routes Each car is
manned by half dozen policemen. The mob
now content themselves with hooting and yelling
at the police, but further rioting is feared. The
police magistrate has instructed the chief of
police to call out the militia if necessary, but the
chief thinks the force he has at his command at
present is sufficient to enforce the law. 1t is not
the strikers who compose the rowdy element,
but the worst class in the city, composed of
thieves, loafers and general .'toughs.n

this was test case. The defense admitted the

Trade Greatly Depressed Because Of. Numer-
Gus and Widespread Labor Troubles

New YORK, March Especial kilograms to
Bradstreets from the more important business
centers report the movement Of general mer-
chandise rather below than above previous totals.
At st. Louis and southwest thereof business is
at standstill owing to the continued interrup
ton to traffic over the Gould Southwestern
railways and the Texas & Pacific line
The number of strikes throughout the country
has increased beyond all precedent,
and the number Of employees idle
is reported as $1,000 east of the Rocky mount
aims In December, 1884, the total covering
the same territory was but Is, 600. Both the
bituminous coal and textile strikes outrank the
southwestern railway strike in point of num-
bers. Contrasted with the stagIation in trade
circles at st. Louis Chicago reports a good bust
ness In almost all staple lines-30 per cent. more
than last year at like period in dry goods alone
but this report is quite exceptional. At lead
ing Eastern cities business has been of moderate
proportions Only, though feeling of confidence
that an Improvement will be felt in the near
future is frequently mentioned. Increased eau
tlon In making contracts is noted on the part Of
textile mill owners. At o.her cities general
trade is less active than had been expected at
this time, while in the Northwest particularly
more favorable reports are made of the amount
and outlook.
Dry goods are in little better request and
print cloths are higher. Stocks of cotton in
first hands are light Wool is quiet. There are
no new features in the iron market. Anthracite
coal is selling very low, and buyers act slowly.
Petroleum Is heavier, and tends lower under
