New YORK. March 5.-Nothing like the
present street car strike has been witnessed
since the worst days of the great epizootic
epidemic, a dozen years ago. The police
force is thoroughly organized and confident
of its ability to repreSS promptly any dlSpo-
sitOn to riot or disorder. Every man able
TO put on uniform and carry a club was
was ordered on duty last night, and this
morning 800 men were held in reserve.
Police headquarters looked like an enormous
bivouac of uniformed men, held in readiness
to answer calls from any quarter. Squads
of fifteen or twenty policemen were dis
patched early to guard all railroad depotS
and stables. Mounted men patrOled Grand
street and the route of the Dry Dock rail-
road from end to end

in the event of any attempt being made
to run car over the road, as yesterday,
in order to save the company its char
ter. Police Superintendent Murray is
determined to suppress a repetition of yes
terday's scenes. No trouble is, however,
apprehended. The strikers preserved at at
tItude of quiet determination, awaiting
the result of a conference being held be-
tween the executive committee of the En-
pfre association and Railroad Commissioner
O'Donnell. who arrived from Albany this
morning in answer to dispatch demand
ing his presence.
Commissioner O'Donnell, after his con-
sultation with the executive committee,
took a cab and went over to Brooklyn,
where he met President Richardson at the
Office of the Atlantic Avenue line, together
with the directors.

to the commissioner, contained in the fol-
lowing resolutions, and directed to ''Joseph
O'Donnell. chairman of the executive COM

road of Brooklyn will agree TO pay the men
at the rate of 81 per day for twelve hours as

amid the cheers and yellS of the thousands
of people in the neighborhood Four blocks
away from the stables the streets were I'M
passable owing to the throng, but the tone
of the talk was jubilant instead of defiant
as yesterday. All along Grand street the
buildings were
