 Attack the Police.

The Tieup Is still Practically Complete.
 Mobs Hold Up Guarded Mail Car-The
 Police Force Not Big Enough to Cope
 With the Strikers.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. 16.-The second day of the big trolley strike was not characterized by much excitement. There were many little clashes between the police and the strikers, but nothing of a serious nature in the way of a riot occurred. Up to noon everything was comparatively quiet. After that hour. however. the strikers let them solves out trif1e. and the police had some difficulty in keeping the great crowds un- der restraint
 The necessity of patrolling so extensive a territory has become a matter of concern to the police officials, and it is thought now that outside aid may have to be call ed upon before the strike is ended.
 The chief trouble of the day occurred at the Atlantic Avenue company's barns at Twenty-fourth street and Fifth avenue when an effort was made to run car to Ninth street. Five or six thousand strik- CTS and sympathizers had gathered at this point
 Although the car was surrounded by a police guard. it was found impossible to proceed until the mounted squad was or dered out.
 Great excitement was also accustomed at this point shortly afterward on the arrival of a wagon containing 35 men, who came to take the strikers places. Stones and sticks were hurled at the newcomers, but no damage of any importance was done.
 At Prospect park plaza a mob number ing 3, GOO held up a mail car and attacked the guard, but the arrival of a squad from police headquarters put an end to the hos tilities for time at least.
 Early in the morning the Brooklyn Heights railroad started cars on the Court Street line, and by noon the line was run ming at about one-half the ordinary head way. The same road put tho Flatbush Avenue line in operation early in the aft ernoon, although but flow cars were sent oSer the circuit
 President Norton Declares War.
 President Norton of tho Atlantic Ave nue trolley system declared that he would have his road in operation today regard less of the efforts of the strikers. He said that he had secured sufficient experienced men to take out the allotted number of cars, and that on the morrow he would start with a vengeance.
 In regard to tho situation Master Work man Connolly said that the men were more determined today to continue the tieup than they had been Monday. He said also that the trcaSurers of the differ ent locals connected with the district as sembly had reported n sufficiency of funds on hand to allow of the continuance of tho strike for n month at least.
 At the various railroad offices it was given out that no difficulty whatever would SC experienced in filling the places of the strikers. as already suporabun- dance of applications for work had been received, anu that the companies were only waiting tu perfect some preliminary arrangements before putting their roads into full operation again.
 This, however. the strike leaders dis credit. claiming that the railroad officials have not been able to secure men from out side cities. and that if holp has been Sc cured il Is from inexperienced men inca pablo of properly handling the cars
 Abandoned the Car.
 Inspector Mckelvcy. with about a score of police officers, had quite lively time with a crowd of some 200 strikers on Flat bush avenue. The strikers surrounded q FlAtbush avenue car. which was on its way toward the ferry in charge of n mo torman and conductor. The attacking party was re-enforced by some 1900 sym pathizers, who helped them to fro stonos and bricks at the car
 The two men in charge sought refuge in the inside, but the missiles were com ing so fast and furiously that the men abandoned the car and were soon lost in the crowd. The police drove the mob back up the hill, and Inspector MoKelvey sent for re achievements. Before the latter ar rived. however. the police succeeded in making nine arrests and locked the pris- onerS m in the EiUhth DrcCinct pOliCe sta tion house.
