to my inexpressible joy, the right brigade
was all over, in place, and moved forward
also without any break in the line. There
was no firing, and the line was well up to
the fort before its defenders were ready to
assail it: so well had the sharpshooters,
who now advanced with the main line, done
their work. On account Of the open order

The Company Refuses 20 Grant the De.
manGs Of the Men.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Eleyen Of the branches Of
the Brooklyn city railroad tied up this morning at
O'Clock and the men went on a STRIKE The
cause OF the strike is that the company refused TO
agree to the demands OF the men as set forth In an
agreement submitted for signature to the COM
pany by committee OF the men.
REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE TIE wORKMEN's UNIoNa
The cause OF the trouble was that the company
would not recognize the Knights OF Labor, or the
Empire Protective association, I'm its negotiations
with its men. The knights claim that the men are
forced to work sixteen hours and over, and some
for as low as twenty-nine cents. This, President
Lewis says, is an outrageous untruth. Though
the company has maintained good faith with It's
men, and not man on a straight run or trfpper
worked more than twelve hours day. Regular
men were also not paid less than 81 day and trip
pers Sl.jO.
About , O'Clock twenty-five OF the old drivers and
conductors returned to work without solicitation
from the company. They were at once assigned
to cars and by O'Clock about a dozen cars were
running on the various lines. Soon after a score
OF new men were hired and sent out 10 the stables
A CAR ATTACKED BY STRIKERS.
All the stables OF the company We're put under

were put on any OF the cars save those running
out to east New York. and then only from Bedford
avenue on In east New York a ear was attacked
by nve OF the strikers, who unlocked the team.
but were prevented from doing further damage by
their prompt arrest by the police. East New York
is the only place that President Lewis expects any
trouble, and extra precautions are being taken
there.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.
The Treasury Surplus Problem.

4M0 keooWIy SNHPlu8 EIOOkeW1s
UNLESS IT rs SATISFACTORILY SOLVED, IT rs BELIEVED
THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL CONVENE THE FIFTTETH
CONGRESS IN EXTRA SESSION EARLY NEXT SPRING.
The probability Of the Fiftieth Congress being
convened In extra session at an early day in the
spring is being discussed among public men. Un-
less the present Congress shall provide some
means OF relieving the Treasury from the steadily
increasing surplus 1t Is the belief Of some promi-
nent democrats that the next Congress win be
called together to perform that task.
WHAT TREASURY OFFICIAL SAYS.
One Of the high officers OF the Treasury says he
has no doubt OF an extra session unless this Con-
gress shall deal with the surplus question He
added thaS the President would not permit the
peoples money to 60 on accommodating In the
Treasury without any legal way OF again putting
1t into general circulation until the subject could
be reached by the next Congress at its regular ses
SION next year. This official expressed the opinion
Gnat Ine PRESIDENT would convene the F1ftteth Con-
gresS within thirty days after the 4th OF March,
should nothing be done in the way OF relief for the
Treasury by that time He pointed out the evils
surplus, and remarked that the President
could put the. responsibility for continued
neglect 20 provide against these dangers upon
Congress; that he would call an extra session and
In plain, straightforward message admOniSh that
Congress OF its duty. Then, II diverse views upon
ton, no blame could attach to the administra-
ton.
AMONG MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
the opinion that an extra session would follow a
failure to leg1sate at this session for a reduction
of taxation can be heard; but many of them are
quite positive that this duty will not be neglected
There are members, however, who fully appreciate
the difficulty OF any such legislation by the pres
ent Congress. They point out the fact that any
measure relating to the revenue brought before
the House will bring up the tariff question, and
that it seems impossible to pass any bin changing
the tariff.

became white In the last few years the change
has appeared to follow the principal nerves and In

Of Mrs Eldr1dge that it was not the arm OF white

YEARS OF PROSPECTING NEAR PApUCAH By rWo


PADUCAH, KY, Dec 23.-1he existence OF gold
and silver Ia this vicinity has long been believed,
and for the past five years two brothers. Frank
and William Rupertls, have been prospecting.
Some time ago they commenced boring a well for
the purpose OF determining the distance down TO
weeks ago. At the depth or eighty-one feet they
found rich ''color," and are so confident that they
have commenced sinking shaft near the well
The announcement that the Rupertus brothers
had actually discovered lot OF rich gold bearing
quartz on their property, some eight miles from
this city, was received by those who were fully
informed regarding that locality with but little
surprise. There is positively no doubt that the
specimens OF quartz exhibited are exceedingly
rich in virgin gold and there Is also doubt that
they were found exactly as represented. The Ru-
pertus brothers have been rendered assistance
and will push the work OF sinking a shaft as rap-
idly as uOSSfOle
