AN UNUSUAL CALM.

It Follows Turbulent Events of the Night
at Brooklyn.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 23.--There was an
unusual calm about Brooklyn after the
excitement of the night. The points
where the military guards were stationed
we're devoid of crowds, and save for a
few petty assaults the early morning
was without incident. -.
It's said that during the day delegates
from New York city, Newark and Jersey
City will come to Brooklyn to confer
with the strike leaders to consider the
advisability of ordering strike among
the motormen and conductors of the
trolley lines In those cities. The execu-
tive committee viii advise the delegates
not TO do so unless they have independ-
ent grievances, az they fear that sym
pathetic strike viii deprive them of pub

Another Conference.
Another conference between Brigadier
General McLeer, Mayor Schieren, the
executive committee of strikers and the
presidents OF the railroad companies will
be held during the day in order that an
other effort may be made to settle the
dispute without further trouble.
The strikers seem to have the best Of
the situation, despite the strong military
and police guards.
The companies are still further ham
pered by the refusal of their linemen to
repair cut wires. This it practically q
strike of the linemen.
It Is Bad IsIbw.
The superintendent of the Gates av-
enue line said that the refusal Of the
hnemen TO work will preclude all posi-
bility of the company running cars for
the day. The fixing of electric wires is
d business which requires much care,
and an expert knowledge. This strike
is the greatest blow the companies have
yet received, as in case of wires being
cut, car traffic will come to complete
standstill. Linemen cannot be secured
as easily as motormen and conductors.
Carsare running ON the Fulton street,
Fifth avenue, Bergen street, Summer
avenue, Putnam avenue and Flatbush
lines. None of them have been mo-
Tested.
Two companies of militia have been
sent from the depot of the Atlantic
avenue line at Fifth avenue and
Twenty-fourth street, to the depot at
Ninth avenue and Twentieth street,
where il was proposed to start the Fiji
teenth street line.
