.ST.1TEMENT BY PRES. ROSSITER. Declares Company Will Not Arbttrate--
 Men to Run Cars To-dny.

| New York, July 16.--President Ros- sitter said tonight that the Brooklyn | Rapid Transit officials would not arbi- trate the strike difficulty with their em- ployes. There's nothing to arbitrate," said MT Rossiter. "The men who have gone out came to me with certain de- mands. I showed them that they aI-
 ready had substantially all they asked
 for and would straighten out any in-
 justices. They came in fighting mood,
 and were not disposed to look at the
 subject dispassionately. MT. Delehanty of the arbitration commission had long
 talk with Colonel Williams about the propriety of arbitrating the alleged dis pute. I did not see him. Colonel Will Hams told him there was nothing to ar bitrate, and that is true
 "How many men went out on strike this morning?"
 Not More Than 1000 Men Out.
 ''Between 700 and 1000 Not more than 1000 at the outside About 200 out of 800 or 900 of the Nassau men re- mained loyal to the company and ran their cars as usual and about 200 of the 2,SoO or 5000 Brooklyn Heights men
  dred out of 2,SOO does not make large percentage when it comes to striking, and the result shows what We have held to be true all along, that the Heights men would remain steadfast. They real ize that there is nothing to strike about
 What about to-morrow?'
 Enough Men to Run Every Car.
 "All I can say is that We have enough men to run every single trip tomorrow and will do so, if we are not interfered with Of course, if the strikers should be permitted to pull our motormen and conductors off the cars and cut wires, 1t would be difficult to handle the usual of traffic. We will do the best we can. We have considered it wise to | stop running cars tonight on all the l suburban lines after o'clock and the | cars on the main lines will not be run l after 12 o'clock. Few people will be dis by this, as they can use the elevated trains. The normal conditions | will return in day or two, l hope, so that the suburban trolley service may be continued all night. The presence of the Manhattan police in the city has had a most beneficial effect They have lone splendid work and the good order which was maintained to-day is owing argely to their presence. Our success to" lay in conducting our business in the ace of a strike is almost unparalleled. We have not only kept all our lines ,pen, but we opened the new Culver cute to Coney Island according to chedule- I cannot estimate the shrink Lge in traffic owing to the strike, The eturns tomorrow will tell all that. It eemed to me this morning that there vas a special Providence in the lower ng weather and the rain. People did { lot start off to-day with a rush to the I teaches as usual and this gave us time { o steady ourselves" President Rossiter ] aid the Seventh and Ninth Avenue line { f the Nassau system were manned hy : Ialsey street men, the employees on that ( ne having refused to go out almost to a S nan. q

An Innocent stipufatiun.

The people who rent cottages as

are not tn the habit of Overlooking a
bet, said T. B. Arnold OF New York
at the Normandie. "One of the con-
ditions Of the agreement is that the
tenant shall pay the water rent
which seems. an innocent stipulation
enough, and never meets objection.
The craftiness of it. however. is not
apparent till the occupant gets the bill
which Is presented about the last of
July. and which is made out for a
whole year. No amount Of kicking ia
