General Wood for their opinion on the

time for the payment of mortgages on
real estate, has drawn up reply, whi'h
does not advise any further extension
of time. The reply further says that
the reason reconstruction is not being
carried on faster is due to the fact that
many estates are 10 the hands of insol-
vent owners, who are unable to cult
vate them themselves and are protected
from their creditors. No one will ad-
vance money on mortgage for fear that
another extension will be granted. In
conclusion, the committee declares that
another extension would defeat Its own
aim.

The Street Car Strike.

Albany N. Y. May 16.-Under the
protection of over 2, 600 national guards
men, the United Traction Company
began operating Its lines this morning.
Ten cars manned by militiamen armed
with rifles made the trip from the
Quail street barns to North Albany.
The strike sympathizers, awed by the
imposing military force, offered no
violence. The streets through which
the cars passed were thronged with
thousands OF people and dire threats
and murmurs were heard at almost
every stop but they were directed 10
the main against the non-union men
and inspectors who accompanied them.
The soldiers were free from taunt and
insults. The tower repair wagon man
ned by non-union men, and foreman
Dryer, and guarded by two guards
men, and another repair wagon with
FIVE non.union men and like number
of guardsmen completed the procession
of tie initial trip. They were sur.
rounded by the mounted signal corps.
The escort of the repair wagon ives the
most spectacular event OF the morning.
With sabres sheathed they galloped
along 10 imposing lines and were fire.
quently cheered by their friends along
the way. Apart from one trifing In
cident where q union man called Oh
the train crews to leave their posts,
nothing worthy OF mention occurred.
Each car Yves manned by two motor
men, two conductors, and an inspector
and II members of the 23d regiment,
with loaded rifles. The latest indics.
tions point to a settlement of the
trouble. Counsel for the strikers has
been 10 consultation with the officials
of the Traction Company this after
noon, and q meeting Of the men is to be
held later. The latter have been asked
to draw up list Of grievances.
1t is stated on good authority that as
q result of the negotiations now pend
ing between the city officials and the
strikers, that the United Traction
strike will be settled tonight.
Troy, N. Y, May 16.-There was no
change 10 the strike situation In this
city this morning. Several regular
deputies and the police were assigned
to the different barns of the Traction
Company last night, although there
was not the slightest call for their SER
vices. Private Gallagher OF the Second
Regiment who has brother among the
strikers left the ranks at the armory
Yesterday. He threw bis gUa on the
floor aud said he would not fight his
own Drother-a striker. He. was ar
rested as were several others. Several
openly asserted that they
would refuse to fight if called upon In
