The Strike New In York.

NEW York, Feb. NEARLY all lines
are running cars this morning and very
few strikers are on the streets.
The Ninth avenue line paid off the
strikers this morning and announced that
hereafter no member of any union would
be employed.
BROOKLYN, Fob. 4.-The street car
strike has assumed a more serious aspect
and the police anticipate a dangerous out
break before night. The strikers have
congreeated in large force on Eighth
avenue. There have been several en-
counters between the strikers and scabs,
and the police have taken u hand in the
scrimmage.
A committee from the striking en-
pIoyes of the Richardson Brooklyn street
car ines and Commissioner Donovan had
a conference with Richardson tonight,
the result being that Richardson said he
would take back such drivers and con.
ductors AS he needed to fill places, but
would not discharge any competent new
men employed in the places of strikers.
He would not take back the tow boys but
would employ men in their places. This
morning the proposition was submitted to
the various assemblies for action.

AnothGr Version.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-Another sensational
story relative to the death of the Aus
trian crown prince comes from Brussels.
1t is asserted that the crown prince be-
came entangled in an affair of honor with
an Austria family, and it was decided
that the prince and the son of the family
N question should fight a duel on the so
called American plan, accordinglto which
method they were to throw dice to decide
which of the duellsts should commit sui
eide. The dice we're thrown and Rudolph
lost. The time specified for the suicide
of the loser was three months, and at the
ex EXPIRATION of that period the crown prince
fulfilled his engagement and took his W
life. The fact that during the time men
toned Rudolph was apparently preparing
for his coming death, seems to give color
to the foregoing story.
The Brussels correspondent of the
Chronicle alleges that a letter from the
Vienna correspondent OF that paper as
serts that when the door of Crown Prince
Rudolph's room was forced open the body
of a beautiful young Bohemian lady was
also found. The correspondent asserts
that the crown prince first killed her with
a revolver and then shot himself, and that
the body OF the lady was conveyed secret
ly to the seat Of her family in Bohemia.
Two other rumors of the alleged tragedy
are current and have already been called
abroad, but the foregoing account is most
generally believer.

PugiIistic.

Boston, Feb. George Lannon of
South Boston and George Godfrey, the
well known colored heavyweight pugilist
of this city, fought a fifteen round battle
with four ounce gloves to night for a purse
of 81 1000. John l.. Sullivan acted as
referee. There was much bad temper
shown by both men and much clinching
was done. In the fourth round Lannon
apparently had his. opponent whipped,
but he failed to follow his advantage. For
the last five rounds Godfrey showed to
better advantage, but both we're weak and
their blows did very little execution. At
the end Of the fifteenth round Lannon ex-
pressed a desire to continue, as the under
standing arrived at previous to the fight
was that in case neither contestant was
knocked out at the end of the fifteenth
round the match should be declared a
draw, and the referee so declared.
BALTIMORE, Feb. Jake Kilraiu to-
night telegraphed K. X. Fox of New
York that he would accept the challenge
of Jem Smith. champion of England, for
another fight and he was willing to accede
any terms that might be proposed for a
fair contest for the championship of the
world.

A Cold Wave.

ST. PAUL, Feb. A cold wave is
prevailing in the Northwest and the
temperature is dropping RAPIDLY. 1t is

Northwest are to the same effect, although
over in Manitoba there appears one

like unto those same changes being

ally below zero being Just under that point

ed, the velocity ranging from light breezes
to as much as sixty miles an hour. The

Ministers Visit Gen Harrl SOU.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. A memorial
signed by forty two members of the In
dianapolis Association Of Ministers, was
presented to Gen. Harrison this morning,
paying to him the sincere respects of the
associ alton, regretting his departure from
among them and wishing him God speed
in his new task. The general replied
f~eelingly, thanking the ministers for their
kind words and saying that he would be
glad for all the sympathy ofthe good peo-
pie of the naion. In conclusion he said:
IF | am conscious that | am possessed of
a single qualification for the duties to
which | am called it is the serious and
settled purpose to do night as l may be
guided"
Among the callers to-day were Con-
gresham Steele, Supervising Surgeon
General Hamilton of the marine service,
and Hon. A w. Iddings and wife of
Nebraska. The best opinion here in re-
gard to the cabinet situation is that
Blaine will be secretary of state, VIM.
Window of the treasury, Rusk of wal, and
W~annamaker for the navy, with Eyarts
as attorney general. As Gen. aarrison
desires the treasury department to go
West, it is reported on good authority
that he has selected Window for the
place. His selection is looked upon as a
good one.

BERLIN, Feb. 4.-Commenting upon
the action of the United States in voting
credit for a coaling station at Pagopago
the National Zeitang says: America
obtained the right to establish a coaling
station from Malietoa, but she did not
take advantage of the privilege within the
specified time. The establishment of a
station now would appear to be an
American protest against German annex
alton.
The North German Gazette tonight
makes ~allusion to Pendleton being unwell.
This is construed as an indication that the
appointment of a new American minister
is desirable.

LONDON, Feb. At is stated that Sir
Julian Paunceforte, the present under
secretary of state for the foreign Office, has
been appointed British minister to the
United States. Although the report is
not officially confirmed it Is credited at
the foreign office. The appointment is
creating intense irritation in British dip
lomatic circles as a departure from the
ing to rank in the service. Sir Julian
Paunceforte is a lawyer, not a diplomat,
and was never attached to any embassy.
He was appointed to his present position
on accoun of his extensive knowledge of
the legal bearing of treaties.
