ALL IS QUIET IN BROOKLYN.
ONLY ONE INSTANCE IN WHICH THE
 TROOPS WE'RE CALLED.


 Stones Were Thrown at Car-Police Un-
 able to Cope With the Mob and the Mill
 tary Were Called Upon--An Officer Hit By Brick and Knocked Down.
 Brooklyn, Jan. 29.-A Third avenue car was attacked this evening at Sev- enth street and Third avenue by a mob of several hundred persons. Vol leys of stones broke the car windows and damaged the front of the car Special Office Smith, who was at the front of the car, was hit on the head by brick and knocked down. In ad- dition he was kicked and clubbed, but finally escaped from the crowd and sought refuge with detachment of the Fourteenth regiment at Third ave nue and Second street. Ills wounds were dressed by Dr. Barton of the regiment. He sustained lacerated wounds in the face and on the scalp. Dr. Barton reported Smith as unfit for duty tonight and the man went home.
 John Weijal, conductor of the car, was hit in the temple with brick and clubbed over the head. Dr. Barton att tended him also. The police finally dis persed the mob and the car was taken to the stables. A number of railroad cartridges, which had been placed on the track of the Bushwick avenue line at Myrtle avenue near Irving avenue, were exploded by the wheels of a car at S:15 o'clock. There was some ex- citement among the passengers which, however, was soon allayed. The car was not damaged.
 Both the Brooklyn Heights and Att lantie avenue companies ran till mid night. No serious interference was re- ported.
 There were several skirmishes dur ing the day on the Third and Fifth avenue lines. A number of cars were stoned and some of the passengers were hurt Only three arrests were made.
 Only once to-day were the troops called out. About o'clock p. m. a gang of men placed a wagon on the track of the Fifth avenue line at Twen- ty-first street, and mobbed the crew of the first car which arrived The po- liceman was powerless. He whistled for help, however, and another police man and some of the Twenty-third reg iment boys came. The troops rushed to the rescue at the double-quick and the mob scattered. Lewis Grade, one of the crowd who attempted to remove the lever used by the motorman to turn on the current, was arrested.
 A car of the Halsey street line ran into a coach at the corner of Fulton street and Oxford avenue this after noond The two Misses Anderson in the coach suffered from the shock, and the driver, Henry Day, had his ribs frac- tured The driver was taken to the hospital.

hour session. The amendments adopted

hour session. The amendments adopted are:
 Permitting the bonds to be redeemed after ten years at the pleasure of the government;; reducing the tax on na- tional bank notes from 1 per cent to one quarter of one per cent per annum; striking out section five, which pro- vldes that customs duties shall be paid in gold.
 An amendment providing that the bonds shall be paid in coin instead of gold was lost.
 Two other amendments were offered and debated at some length without any final conclusion being reached One was offered by MT, Russell of Connecti- cut It provided that the amount of treasury notes cancelled in any one month shall be offset by a corresponding issue of national bank notes. This amendment was carried and then re- considered. Another amendment offer ed by Mr. Walker provides that the re- serve to be held by the banks shall consist one-haf in gold coin or gold certificates, the other half in silver coin and silver certificates.
 Ile uiSCuSSlOn upon tnlS proposition was purely an economic one, and 1t turned upon the point whether the forcing of the banks to procure gold would not create a greater demand upon the treasury than now exists. MT. Walker met these objections with the argument that it would put the banks in a more solvent condition by requiring them to keep specie on hand. These latter amendments would be considered tomorrow, and the indicate tonight are that the bill will be ready to be re- ported tomorrow.
 Representative Tracy of Albany, N. r., who is a conspicuous champion of the administration, and was active at the extra session in 1893 in helping to secure the repeal of the Sherman silver law, says he believes the bill will pass both houses of congress.
 All the members of the committee were present at to-day's session except Messrs. Johnson of Ohio, Johnson of Indiana, Ellis of Kentucky and Culber. son of Texas.

PRESlDENpS MESSAGE ENDORSED
Action Taken by the National Board of
 Trade.

Washington, Jan. 29-The National Board of Trade met in annual meeting opened in the Shoreham to-day. It was shown pretty clearly that the or ganization was heartily in sympathy with President Cleveland in his efforts to obtain some financial legislation. A reference to the subject resulted in some discussion in which MT. Raymond of Detroit appeared to voice the senti- ment of the meeting in his statement that the board was going to help the president and was in sympathy with the objects outlined in his message yes- terday.
 Resolutions were presented reciting the belief that congress would not do anything at this session in the way of securing permanent financial relief and declaring that the opinion of the board was that congress should make some provision for providing for the expenses of the government and to keep unim- paired the national credit. The presi- dents message was endorsed and con- gress was called upon to enact some financial legislation. Hon. Frederick Braley of Philadelphia, the venerable president of the national board was reelected.

MANDAMUs GRAYTED.
Decision Granted by Judge Bradley of
 Supreme Court.

Decision Granted by Judge Bradley of Supreme Court.
 Washington, Jan 29.-Judge Bradley
 of the District of Columbia supreme court to-day rendered an opinion grant ing mandamus to compel Commission
 order reducing the pension of Judge Charles D. Long of the Michigan su- preme court from $72 to $50 per month | The opinion is similar to that delivered
 by Judge Bradley in the same case ih January, 1894. A mandamus was then issued against the reduction of Judge Longs pension, but on account of an error in the proceedings and the act of December 28, 1893, prescribing forms of notice in cases of reduction, the pen sion had been restored and there re- mained no issue except that of costs. Later suit was brought asking an in junction prohibiting the reduction of the pension, in which the same law was involved. This case was decided by Judge Cox in favor of Judge Long, be- cause the notice of reduction given was not thirty days, as required by law. In the matter of law, however, Judge Cox decided contrary to Judge Bradley's de- cision of last January.
 On account of technioality the case was not clear enough to take to the court of appeals and another petition for writ of mandamus was filed.
 This is the case in which Judge Brad ley rendered his decision to-day, Judge Bradley says he feels strengthened in the views to which Judge Cox could not agree, and makes suggestions addition al to those in his original opinion. These are that Commissioner Tanners issu- ance of a certificate giving Judge Long a pension of S72 per month was justified by law and by the pensioners disabil- ity; that Commissioner Lockren had no power to revive and reverse the action of his predecessor upon the same state of facts, for alleged error in judgment and no power to change Judge Longs status on the pension rolls, and that the court has a right to command the com missioner to revoke his order
 Secretary Hoke Smith was made a party to the action with Commissioner Lockren but Judge Bradley dismissed the petition as to him, holding that no act of his is involved in the case.
 The case will probably be taken to the court of appeals.
