ous roads, through the instrumentality of the Knights, prepared an agreement which was sent to the companies to sign in reference to their employees. One clause provided against allowing men to work overtime, and also against ''trippers"
 The men desired that all employees should be restricted to working only the regulation ten hours, that by working overtime they would not diminish the number of employees. The companies refused to concur ill this clause. The men also charged that the Atlantic Ave nue line was seeking to get more than ten hours work for ten hours pay by a shrewd manipulation of the schedule. In New York the great point at issue is the refusal of the roads to recognize the executive committee of District Assembly 226, and their determina- ton to deal with the men singly. There is no special grievance on the Eighth Avenue line, for instance, and the strike there is ''sympa- thetic," to aid in forcing the recognition of the chosen representatives of the men.

Routine Business in the Senate-The old

Routine Business in the Senate-The old
 Soldier in tho House.
 HARRISBURG, Jan. 3O.-The senate put in a day of quiet, steady routine work, in which there nothing of particular interest to the public. A number of general bills were introduced, and the anti-pon tax bill passed without reading.
 Among the bills introduced in the house was one to regulate the running of street cars by other motor power than by animals in cities of the first and second class The bill provides that cable motor and other such motor cars shall not pass by each other at street crossings that two such cars shall not be coupled together, and that grip men or drivers shall not act conductors.
 The house took up on third reading MT. Stewards bill amending the act to give pref erepce of appointment of employment to hon. orably discharged soldiers of the late war, and providing for penalties for the violation of the same.
 Upon motion of MT. Bean the house went into committee of the whole for the purposes of amendment, Mr. Wherry in the chair. Mir. Bean offered amendments extending the provisions of the act to officers and employ ment in cities, boroughs and townships, in- creasing the penalties provided by the act, and providing that the fines obtained from the operation of the same be paid for the sup port of the soldiers orphans schools. Mr. Skinner opposed the measure on the ground that it was not wanted by the old soldiers and that their pecuniary reward should come from congress.
 MT. Bader opposed it on the ground of the political theory that ito the victors belong the spells" and this measure would spoil that doctrine.
 Mr. Bean said that the soldiers were the victors in the greatest conflict this country ever saw, and upon the theory of the gentle man from Delaware, if the offices were spells, | the old soldiers deserved them. The amendments were agreed to, and the bill went over to be printed as amended. Mir. Patterson offered a resolution that a l joint committee of four senators and five | members of the house be appointed to meet @ like committee of the New Jersey legislature l and the councils of Philadelphia to inspect at low water that part of the Delaware river front as may be effected by the operation of | the river and harbor bill

cal effect of that action Unauthorized as 1t was) had been to check the action of the Ger man local authorities. After the German fleet had sailed away the German and Ameri- can consuls had again joined in declaration that Tamasese never had been recognized by either of them as king, and that Malietoa was king.
 This act had been wholly without author ity, and MT. Greenbaum's part in it had very properly been disavowed by the American government He had no more right to assert a protectorate there than the German or English consul had. It was whilst the agents of the three conferees, Mr. Bayard and the English and German ministers, were engaged Ill obtaining Information that the German government deposed Malietoa and set up Iamasese. This was the worst feature of the case, because at this very time the negotia- tlons were going on on sound basis for the restoration of the status quo There were in- dlcatlons, he thought, that the German gov ernment was coinciding with the German policy. He was not stating the facts for the purpose of saying who was wrong or who was right, or whether Germany was justified in the course ill which she pursued He could not say, however, that he found in the papers any justification for Germany. Prince Bis marck, whose strong and imperial will was shown ill all of his communications, asserted the equal rights of each of these governments, but insisted as a matter of policy that it would be better to place the custody of the islands under the control of one of the powers, and as Germany has the largest property in- terests there that it would be best to place it under German control and power. That was now the point i'll controversy.
 As to the newspaper correspondent, Klein, who has been playing knight errant there, the government of the United States was ill no way responsible for him. The statement Of the man himself, although somewhat vain glorious in style, shows that he had nothing to do with the attack on the German sailors He sympathized with those who were in re- bellion against Tamasese, went along with them as newspaper correspondent, and pos sibly took a hand in it, but the United States government was in no sense responsible for him.

Tho SeQuoyah Alphabet.

The.Sequoyah alphabet Is and will long remain curiosity to scholars. Knowing nothing of the phonetic force of the American letters, he adopted them at random and invented other characters, one for each sound, in the Cherokee lam guage, and thus produced by ignorance and native intellect completely phonetic and thoroughly scientific alphabet. So admirably is it adapted for the purpose of written speech that 8 white man of ordinary intelligence can learn to read the language fluently in 8 week without understanding 1t. As the Cherokee lan- guage Is, however, like that of all other Indians, polysyntheto Chat is, it consists of number of radical syllables, each conveying primitive idea of form, color, number, size, intensity, etc., chiefly ad- jectives, the combination of which sylla- bles go to make up any needed word), it Is etymologically the simplest of ton gues, and after mastering its radical sylla- bles one is master of the language, and two months study enables a man of ordf- nary intelligence to speak 1t with fiuency. There are three newspapers published in Indian territory, one at TahleQuah, the Cherokee capital, in Cherokee and Eng fish, the others in the Choctaw country in English and in Choctaw represented by English characters.

the strike is the elevated systems Every car and engine was pressed into service and the men were worked extra time yesterday, and then the accommodation was altogether inadequate. Thousands of business men walked to their homes from four to eight miles up town rather than get into the terrible jams at every station, particularly those on the Sixth avenue line, which runs through the business center. The same experiences are being gone through to-day. Everybody down town last night wasimpressed with the unusual stiffness of the streets. ill which more than the Sunday calm prevailed, as on Sun day nights the jingle and rattle of the cars is heard but last night the silence was unbroken and oppressive to the average New Yorker.

POLICEMEN ON A SIXTH AVENUE CAR. kept busy in clearing the way and ill dispers- ing the crowds of strikers who gathered in threatening manner at various points along the route. At about } o'clock the crowd at Thirty-ninth street overturned peddler's wagon in front of an approaching car. This caused good deal of excitement and some delay, but the policemen succeeded in driving the crowd away after arresting the ring leader. Another arrest was made at Thirty fourth street, where the track had been ob- structed by large truck being placed across it. Three other arrests of strikers charged with rioting were made during the day At 4 p. m. the company decided to suspend opera tions for the day, and no more cars were sent out of the depot.
 The Fourth Avenue line only succeed in getting two cars over its road during the day. The strikers of this line were much more demonstrative than those of the other roads, and very serious trouble was threatened sev- eral times during the day. At Twenty-third street the strikers unhitched the horses from a cross town car, and then overturned the car across the Fourth avenue tracks. This obstruction was removed with great difficulty by the policemen. The mob attempted to drive the officers away, but were compelled to succumb to the free use of clubs by the policemen. Capt. Ryan arrested the ring leaCer ol tnlS crOWu, ana was lInneQlately surrounded by hundred men bent upon res cuing their leader. The captain drew his re- volver, and gave warning that he would shoot dead the first man who interfered with him. He then succeeded in getting his pris- oner to the station house without further in- reference. The officers of the company claimed to be satisfied with their days work in getting the two cars over the route, and no others were sent out
 The presidents of several of the roads re- newed their demands upon the mayor for police protection. Master Workman Magee called upon the mayor, and complained that the police officers were too officious in their opposition to the strikers. The mayor stated that the police department was responsible for the preservation of order and that he was satisfied that they were acting with discretion and would not exceed their authority.
 The causes of the present strike are deep and far reaching in their bearing upon the rela- tions between the companies and the men, and in reality they mark decisive point in the controversy between the two sides. The com panies have for some time been taking the ground that they should deal with their em- pioyes singly, and refuse to treat with the executive committee of the Knights of Labor or any representative body from the men. T. is upon this line that all the companies Brooklyn and New York-seem to have falle. back. In Brooklyn the employees of the var

 NEW YORK, Jan. 30-The tie up of the horse railroad lines in this city, which went into effect yesterday morning, embraced all the roads except tine Third avenue, the Twenty third and Bleecker streets and the Fourteenth street lines. The Third avenue road is a non union one yet to insure safety policeman rode up and down in each car.
 The great feature of the day was the insult put upon Commissioner Donovan by the president of the Sixth Avenue company, in the language he used toward that official of the state, and on the view taken of it by his fellow commissioners of the state board of mediation and arbitration. Commissioner Donovan was bluntly told that the company had no use for him or his committee.
 The state board of mediation and arbitra- ton sent communication to each of the presidents of the tied up companies, inviting them to confer with the board at the Murray Hill hotel. The only response they received was the personal attendance of Superintend- ent Skitt, of the Fourth Avenue. He said that the company was disposed to settle with their men, but was determined not to nego- tiate any agreement with the district eXecu- tive board. They were willing, however, to discuss the matter with committe of its own employees.
 The arbitration commissioners also invited the district executive board to a conference. This invitation was accepted. They ex- pressed willingness to submit all differences to arbitration except that they must insist on an agreement to pay the men not less than $2 per day.
 The Sixth avenue line managed to get cars over their route at intervals of from fifteen to twenty minutes, each car being guarded by four police officers. These cars met with numerous obstructions, and the police were

His Taxes Were Not Paid.

Ole Olson, of Southern Emmons, was

stead was expected in town that day, on
his way home from Bismarck, and Mr..
Olson wanted to have him face the bows
at the county building regarding little
matter of vcracity. Bumstead, however,
gave this town the go by and went home
through Danbury. After waiting several
hours for Bumstead, Olson left for home.
It. seems that about two years ago Mr..
Olson borrowed money to prove up on
his pre-emption, Bumstead acting as
agent for the loan. The latter kept out
between $40 and $l1 for taxes due on the
land, and Olson thought they had been
paid. But, some time after, lie received
notice from the treasurers office that his
taxes were due. He then saw Bumstead
and that pious individual stated that il
had been paid. Thus, for two years,
Bumstead has had the use of Olson
money as drop in the bucket of his loan
business. And the RECORD has positive
