1t Nears an End.

Brooklyn, Jan. 29-Were it not for
the scarcity of cars one would not have
thought that one of the biggest strikes
IN the history of Brooklyn was in pro-
gress. Enormous crowds took possess
sion OF the cars. Otherwise there was
perfect calm. Large crowds assembled
around the depots where military
guards are stationed, but there was no
violence there, and the bantering the
troops received was Of a good natured
kind. ....
Those in position to draw conclusions
from facts and draw conclusions with
out prejudice, say that the strike is
about ended. The companies seem to
be IN position to run their cars. They
are not skillfu.ly operated, and
throughout the day there We're many
collisions and there was much bump
ing together, but there was no acct
dent Of serious nature.
The MURDER Of cars operated was
slightly over the number operated YES
terday. Some were without some Of
their windows and others running
with dissipated looking motor boxes
and badly twisted dashboards, but
most OF them were carrying passen-
gers without molestation The com
panies did not venture to open any
new lines, nor did they seek to run
their cross-town lines Of cars through
the Erie basin district. Many Of the
Inhabitants Of that locality are Of a

police say, DO mischief. if only for the
sake of making trouble. The railroad

INDIAN INSTITUTES.
An Interesting Scheme Now Under
Official investigation.

Washington, Jan. Bottle question
Of holding Institutes in the West for
the benefit Of the teachers and others
in the Indian service is now under
consideration at the Indian bureau.
There were five of these meetings held
last year, but this year the number
will be reduced at least to three,
which will be held during the latter
part of July and early in August, prob
ably in South Dakota in Oklahoma
and in Oregon or Washington. The
Institutes are believed by bureau Of
ficials to be Of great benefit to the In.
dian schools, but the lack of funds for
the purpose may result in the decision
to abandon the plan this year.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-The reading of
President Cleveland's message on the
financial situation formed the most
interesting feature of the session Of
the senate. Most of the day was taken
up by the house bill with senate
amendments disappearing an agree
ment with the Southern Ute Indians
providing for their removal from Col
orado to Utah, allowing land in sew
crafty to those desiring them and re-
moving others from a portion Of the
present reservation and combining them
to the western part Of it and to several
townships in New Mexico The bill
was passed.
The interest in the house centered
in the presidents message which was
read after the body convened. Mem
bers were busy discussing the message
and bill throughout the session, and
gave little attention to the debate on
the bill to repeal the discriminative
duty on the sugar imported from
bounty paying countries. At the con-
clusion of the debate Mr.. Wilson at
tempted to affect an arrangement for
vote, after two hours of debate to-
morrow, but Mr.. Grosvenor Rep.,
Ohio objected. Despite the objection
Mr.. Wilson stated his purpose to try
to secure an agreement at the end OF
that time.

Washington, Jan. 31.-A special or

law on sugars imported by bounty

out amendment by a vote of 239 to 81.
President Cleveland's financial mes
sage has again started the eddies and
currents Of sentiment on the financial
question in the senate. While this has
not yet crystalliZed into definite action
several incidents occurred in the SEN
ate which indicated general tendencies.
Mr.. Henderson Rep.. Neb.) presented
compromise plan. The senator en-
phasized the need of concession and
compromise in a vigorous speech urg-
ing senators to give and take in order
that some common ground for meet
ing the financial emergency might be
secured. In replying. Mr.. Teller (Rep.,
Colo) made the significant declara ton
that no such compromise legislation
could be effected at this session Of
congress. Among the measures passed
during the day were those for the in
corporation Of the National Associa-
ton Of Florists and for the sale of
interchangeable mileage tickets to
commercial travellers. known as the
commercial travellers bill. Most of the
day was given to the bankruptcy bill.

MEETING SOON TO BE BELD

The Representative of the ii: inois Organi-
stances O: Abuses of Dumb Brute What
the Law Says.
The meeting called at the Y. NJ.
c. A. building last evening for the
purpose of recognizing the Rock
Island Humane society was not
largely attended: hence adjournment
was taken until future date-prob-
ably the early part of next week.
Those who compose the Rock Island
society are much interested in the
movement. and the representative of
the Illinois Humane society, who
has been in the city for some time. is
anxious that the organization should
be re-established on basis that will
afford opportunity for an enlarged
scope and field Of work. 1t is pro-
posed not only to have spccia,
humane officer, but board of direc-
tors which will include the repre-
sentativcs of the livery stables of the
city.
Cases Of Cruelty Noted.
"You don't know how many cases
Of extreme cruelty are going on
right here in Rock island" said the
Humane society representative this
morning. I'VE who are in the work
observe these things more closely
than the ordinary citizen going about
his business, although he might
readily see an act if his attention
were called to it. We see horses,
the shoulders of which are raw from
ovcrwork, and the cause Of which
sufferings are concealed beneath
heavy collars. | have seen instancea
where the removal of the collars of
some horses would cause strong
nerved men to faint. There are
cases of this kind in Rock Island.
Then there are instanccs-and many,
too-of horses being subjected to
drudgery, hardships and e1ertion
which are intirm and broken-dow n
from old age. They are crippled
and pitiful, and yet people do not
notice them, as they are accustomed
to seeing them every day on the
streets. Other cases. still. are there
Of horses which are overburdened
ana ONerWOrked.

endorsement of the laws of Illinois
which are very plain on the subjec
the provision being that whoever
shall he guilty Of cruelty to any an
imal in any Of the ways mentione,

than 50 nor more than 5000. Som,
of the instances OF cruelty which tn,
law fOrbids are these:
"Overloading, Overdriving, over
working, cruelty beating, torturing
tormcnting, mutilating. or cruelty
killing any animal, or causing OF
knowingly allowing the same to b'
done.
Cruelty working any old

Unnecessarily failing to provid,
