Those Are the orders Given TO the
New York Guards.

BROOKLYN. N. Y, Jan. 2i.-several
thousand National Guardsmen and hf-
teen or sixteen hundred policemen have
not today been strong enough TO enake
the resumption OF the street railway
traffic in Brooklyn practicable. In fact
the gain over last Saturday IL scarcely
perceptible. The calling out OF the
First brigade. composed OF New York
city regiments. has seemed rather TO
add to the tension than 90 bring n so
luton of the difficulties. The task of
restoring peace and order along nearly
200 miles of street car line Is vast one.
The new levy numbered not far from
1000 mer. They were moved across the
great bridge early in the day. The
various companies went by elevated
trains wherever Il was possible TO the
points which they had been ordered to.
Generally speaking the greetings they
met with on the streets were far from
friendly. Boys guyed and men jeered
them as they passed through the sec
lions inhabited by labOring people.
The elements which early in day
We're suspicious soon took on an un-
friendly aspect. A Scotch mist settled
down on the city, increasing in density
as the evening approached ana added
To the difficulties which attended the
carrying out OF the announced inten-
ton Of the street lines upon lines not
operated SINCE Ine strike WAS utClhleu.
Such attempts in this direction as were
made We're futile. A car started from
the Rldgewood station OF the Brook
Ign Heights company a little after
o'clock. and was assailed with volleys
of stones and bricks from windows
and vacant lots before 1t had pro-
ceeded far on It's way down town. a
private soldier was struck In the head
with stone and disabled. The officer
iu command ordered his men 10 shoot
and two v1llcys were fired toward the
windows and house tops, from which
the missiles had mostly been hurled
Tie soldiers aim was, however. rem
dercd uncertain by the dense fog.
About $50 bullets were sent shrlekius
in r"arch Of victims. but how many,
If any, Of them found human targets
cannot at present be determined
The militiJmen's orders were that II
they shot, it should be to kill Police
men also did some shooting at this
point, With what effect Is as uncertain
as in the case OF the militiamen. 1t is
asserted by the militia officers that they
only ordered the VOlley which the
violence Of The mob made necessary.
