A STREET-CAR TIE-UP.
The Business of a Brooklyn Company Brought
to a Stop-Trouble Expected To-day.

The Business of a Brooklyn Company Brought
to a Stop-Trouble Expected To-day.
New YORK, Jan. 25.-All the horse-car
lines of the Atlantic-avenue Railroad Com
pany, Brooklyn, seven in number, of which
road Deacon Richardson is president, were
tied up this morning by the employees. Yes
serday Richardson held conferences with
committees of his men, but practically
without any good results. The men then
threatened to tie up the road, but Richard
son would not yield his points or agree to
the terms of his men. When the men
brought their cars to the depot last night,
they left them there, with the determ-
ination not to take them out again until
some arrangement could be agreed upon
whereby they could have 81 day for ten
hours work. The lines of the Atlantic
avenue railroad are not in the section of
the city through which the elevated rail-
road runs, so that it made travelling incOn-
yenient for those living along the route of
that road. The police have perfected ar
rangements for keeping the peace. No
trouble is apprehended, however, as the
men are orderly and quiet. Richardson,
this noon, said he was determined to carry
his point, and advertised for men to take
the places of the strikers.
State Arbitration Commissioner Donovan
had conference with Mr.. Richardson this
afternoon, and endeavOred TO effect con-
ference between Mr.. Richardson and ID. A.
75 in regard to the surface road strike, but
to no effect. Mr.. Richardson stated this
evening that he had employed thirty Amer
ican citizens, and would attempt to run
cars tomorrow. The company has issued a
circular giving the men until Manday next
to come back. He said no new men would
be discharged. Trouble is anticipated to-

TALK ABOUT A DUEL.

A Fracas Between Two Southern Members
Causes a Good Deal of Cory Gossip.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-It has been GUS
tomary for many years to talk about duel
whenever the slightest trouble arose be-
tween two men in Congress. Bladensburg,
the famous old dueling ground, is located
but six miles to the north and east, and the
red sand hills of Virginia, just across the
Potomac to the south, which have absorbed
the blood of many hot-headed statesman
in years gone by, are in full view from tho
Capitol. Although there have been innu-
merable quarrels and fist contests between
men in Congress during the past quarter or
a century, and there have been many talks
about duels, no meetings on these sanguina-
ry fields of contest have ACQUIRED since the
war. The last incident TO start reports
about an impending duel occurred yester-
day afternoon, at the Congressional Hotel,
which is located just across B street, on the
south side of the Capitol grounds. Repre-
sentatives Grain, of Texas, and Barry, of
Mississippi went over TO the hotel to get
something to eat and drink. While they
were indulging in luxuries for the inner
man they fell into conversation about the
late unpleasantness, which result
ed in the Mississippian. springing
like a tiger upon his - friend
from the Lone Star State. The Texan is
six feet high, strong of build, agile as a
cat and as courageous as lion. He simply
pinned his antagonist to the floor and held
him there till his anger had subsidized. Late
last night and to-day there were all kinds
of wild rumors about meeting at Bladens-
burg or duel ON the soil the Old Domin-
ion. Mr.. Grain said tonight that the whole
difficulty grew out of misinterpretation
by Mr.. Barry of something said
in the conversation, and that there
was not the least i'll feeling
between them now. He denied that they
had a fight, although it is true that they
came together as indicated. An evening
newspaper announces that Barry went TO
Bladensburg with dueling pistols and
waited several hours for the appearance of
his antagonist and that duel is promised.
Those who know most about the difficulty
saw there has been no likelihood whatever
of any more trouble than that which oc-
Cured Yesterday afternoon. In fact, Mr..
Barry this afternoon sent his apologies TO
MIR. Grain and the whole affair there ended.
There is a sad streak in the life of Mr..
Barry during the past few months, which
is sufficient TO excuse almost any of his ac-
tions. He had a brother who was recently
shot dead in Texas; then his wife died under
distressing circumstances; Mr.. Barry was
not himself in good health, and these ex-
treme sorrows so preyed upon his mind that
he has suffered intensely from insomnia. Ii.
under the circumstances, he has indulged
in anything to make him forget his grief for
a time he is to be more pitied than blamed

1t Reaches the House, Accompanied by O
Statement of Unusual Character.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--The tariff hill
reached the House, this afternoon, and is
still on the Speakers table. 1t will be laid
before the House tomorrow, and the prob
ability is that no effort will be made to take
it out of the hands of the committee on
ways and means. The solid vote of the
Democratic Senators against the bill has
aided the free-trade leaders of the House in
subjugating the rebellious members of their
side, and all the talk of the latter
about a reference of the bill to
some other committee has ceased. 1t
is doubtful if such motion
will be made, but there can no longer be
any doubt that the bill will go to the COM
mittee on ways and means. Most of the
leading members say that under these cir
cumstances, the bill cannot possibly pass
the House, and will, perhaps, never be dis
cussed there.
Before the tariff bill went to the House
from the Senate, this afternoon, there was
indorsed on it, in compliance with the mo-
tion of Mr.. Allison and adopted by the Sem
ate, the statement that the Senate adheres
to its amendments and requests a confer
ence: This is an unusual, but not unprece-
dented, course to pursue, and is adopted for
the purpose of eXpediting consideration of
the bill. This action of the Senate
caused mild commotion among interested
members of the House when it was made
known to them. The impression in some
quarters was that the Senate had very
cleverly trapped the ways and means COM
mittee. 1t would be out of the ordinary
course for the House to refuse to accede to
the request of the Senate for a conference,
yet If this request is. granted, the result
would be to prevent the ways and means
committee from passing upon the. Senate
amendments to the tariff bill Again, 1T is
argued that if the House shorld refuse to
comply, this refusal would put it in the
position of declining to second the
efforts of the Senate to secure
speedy action upon the tariff bill. Several
members of the ways and means committee,
when spoken to about the matter, expressed
the belief that the request for a conference
would not be granted until the bill had
gone through the regular course In the
House and committee. Mr.. Breckinridge,
of Kentucky, said the rules of the House re-
quire all bills coming back with Senate
amendments to be referred to proper COM
mittees. The tariff bill could not be sent
to conference in violation of this rule, for a
single objection would suffice to prevent II.
He agreed with other members of the COM
mittee in the opinion that the Senate's re-
quest for an immediate conference would be
refused by the House.

Ex-Secretary Thompson Gives His Recol-

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
. TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Jan. 25.-Col. Thomp-
son, who was at the head of the Navy De-
partment when LIE Mamea. the Samoan Sec
rotary of State, came to this country, in
1873, to negotiate treaty, says it is his i'm
preston that Samoa then desired pro-
tectorate established by the United States,
fearing that the active efforts of traders
from different countries would bring about
just such complications as have ensued.
The treaty was signed, and Colonel ThOmp-
son gave lie Mamea transportation home on
o man-of-war and speedily established a
coaling-station at Pagopago; the best har-
Dor in the islands. Capt. George Brown
was sent with the Alaska to Pagopago to
protect our interests until the cargo of coal
bought in Philadelphia was taken around
the Horn to the islands. There was then
supposed to be need of haste in the matter
to have this governments rights estab-
lished, and the Colonel says that the coal
ing station was supplied before either Ger
many or England arrived. Commodore
Chandler made a report, which Is now on
