DEsPONDENT STRIKERS.

The Car Companies seem to be Victo- | rfous-Cars Are Running in Both Cities With Considerable Regularity The Authorities Think the End o1 the Strike Has Come.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Un.ess the leaders of ! the street car strike in this city have some desperate plans in reserve, they are plainly | beaten in their efforts to make the surface railways accept their terms of hours and I wages, and recognizs ex-Convict Magee and his partners as the proper channel of com munication with their own employees. This fourth morning of the strike found cars run ming early, frequently and with considerable regularity on the principle lines which have been tied up. The schedule which was made out for the day by the police (upon informa- tion from the managers of the companies) was as follows: Forty cars will be run on Broad way, 60 on the Fourth avenue line, 1S0 on the Third avenue line, 20 Sixth avenue cars will make the entire trip for the first time, 80 will go to Canal street and there will be 20 cars running in Grand street.
 It was soon evident, however, that this schedule was incorrect. Matters were so quiet that many more cars were sent ont than it had been expected would be possible. Save in Second avenue, the entire city was without disturbances up to 3 o'clock. The cars that were running carried one or more policemen, but there seemed to be no need of such protection. Few crowds were to be seen on the sidewalks. The wind helped the police in keeping order. At g o'clock it was howl ing along at forty miles an hour, thus mak- ing lounging out of doors decidedly unpleas- ant. On the whole, although there were some demonstrations of wrath against the compa- nies, the cars that were sent over the west sida roufas had little trOub bi0 AnDlicatiOuS for work have been received by all the com panies who have signifed willingness to receive them, and within a day or two all traces of the strike should disappear. The leaders among the strikers. however, declare officially that they still expect to win. new phase of the trouble is the demand of the companies that the department of public works shall remove Instructions from the tracks.
 The official peacemakers, the State Board of Arbitration and the State railroad com sioners, have about given up hope of getting anything to do with this strike. It has been apparently O terrible blow to their feelings that none of the parties to the contest, except the ex-convict Master Workman Magee, would have anything to do with them. It should be said in their behalf that, although the commissioners position has been ridicu lous at times, it was the law that made it so.
 In Brooklyn progress towards settling the trouble on the Richardson lines continues to be most exasperatingly slow. A few cars were sent out this morning and had no trouble in making their trips. But few cars are as none so far as public convenience is concerned. This seems to be recognized by the strikers in Brooklyn, and they say they will not interfere until something like regular service is undertaken.
 At meeting held in the Bowery yesterday 8 short man wearing dark beard, who advo- cated the most extreme measures, said in part: 'I propose that we use dynamite, and that every man here arm himself and march to the company's buildings and blow every one of them up. If we adopt a system in this work, and all work harmoniously togeth- CT, it will be no lambs play, and we can dic- tate our own terms to these greedy monopol- ists."
 Then a young man who looked like @ clerk mounted the platform and advocated peace able measures. He was hissed and hustled off the stage also. The meeting then broke up and adjourned to another place. As a re- suit of thie meeting rumor spread later that the stables of the Grand street line would De burned; but nothing has come of this loud talk.
 The members of the State board of arbitra- tion, who have been in session at the Murray hill hotel for several days, have become tired of waiting to no purpose, and concluding that there is no prospect of their services being acceptable to the street car managements they have decided to return to their homes. Chair man Wm Purcell started last night for Ro- chester, F. F. Donovan went this morning to Brooklyn, and G. Robertson, ,jr., returned this afternoon to Troy. The secretary, CJ. Mad den, told reporter that he should go back to Albany tomorrow.
