GROWING sERIOus.

A gentleman who is well acquainted
with Samoan affairs said tonight that
matters had reached very serious state
and he would not be surprised to hear
that a conflict had taken place between
the Germans and the Americans. The
natives had beaten the Germans re.
peatedly, and according TO the Auckland
dispatch (Which he regarded as entirely
reliable) Germany now proposes 10 whip
them by preventing arms being sent in.
The newspapers read by Americans had
been suppressed aud the Germans had
taken control Of tho police Of Apias,

A COSTLY STRIKE.
The New York Street Car situation Strikers
Going In,

NEw YoRK, Jan, Sl,-Thls, the third
day Of the strike, opened much the same
as yesterday, The situation Of affairs is
yet unchanged. The two days stoppage
of the cars has cost the strikers $4,000,
and the stockholders Of the roads about
$4,000, To-day the belt line and the
Broadway line, which have not had q
car on the road since the tie up, have
made arrangements 10 run cars over
their route, The Fourth avenue rail-
road has decided 10 run fifty cars to-day,
beginning at 0 o'clock,
Quietness reigned at all the East and
West Side stables during the night, but
each stable was guarded by police Off
GERS In case OF any trouble, There were
many applicants for work at the Sixth
avenue stables this morning, They
were nearly all green hands, But few
Of the strikers have made application so
far, II was said that over 800 applicants
had asked TO be put to work.
The Sixth avenue road started Its cars
at 1924 o'clock, There were six police.
men placed on each car. Inspector Will
liams with 1874 men and four sergeants
and four roundsmen were in charge OF
the depot,
TROOPS on GUARD,
On account Of a rumor that an attack
was being arranged by the strikers for
the purpose Of securing arms FROM the
State Arsenal, Seventh avenue and
Thirty.seyenth, squad OF twenty
men from the Second battery have been
detailed under Lieutenant Pasco TO
watch the arsenal until the strike is
ended.
A detail Of ten men was also placed In
charge Of the armory OF the Second bat
terry TO protect the gattling guns that are
kept there. The same reserve force Is
kept at police headquarters as yesterday,
aud the same general police precautions
are maintained, The Third avenue cars
are running so nicely that only one
policeman Is now kept on each car.
A little excitement was caused by the
suspension Of an eftigy from tho fire es- |
cape OF tenement house near the
Broadway and Seventh avenue depot, at
about 0 o'clock. After crowd had col
leCted in sight, 1t was set fire to. In-
spector Steers had 1t taken down. The
Twenty.third street line had It's regular
number OF cars running at 10 o'clock,
AT 10 o'clock the first Broadway car
was started. 1t was not one OF the new
est cars, for there was no telling what
might be Its fate, Inspector Steers scat
tered his men on both sides Of Broadway
rs far down as Forty.second street, but
they had nothing to do but to watch the
car as It proceeded quietly down town,
The strikers paid no attention to 1t what
ever.

This method OF cutting Off the iirs,

After the wings are removed, cut OIL

1t is fair 10 say that no young people

Americans of the first half Of the GEN.

ton Of currency in the different states.
y on had TO take il 10 broker, and
pay, perhaps, ten per cent Of its value
in exchange for bills which would err

when, In the first year Of the civil war,
Mr.. Chase, with the authority Of COT,

Illinois, or in. Oregon. What young
readers may not have noticed that bank

change comes from the telegraph. And

would take the bills Of the United States

the anxiety, the roai danger aud the
