CANNOT STOP USE OF STEAM
NEW YORK CENTRAL OFFICIALS
 WRITE MAYOR LOW.
Declare 1t is Not Practicable to Run Than by Steam-Willing to Run sub- Loop Thus Relieving Pressure in Tunnel.

New York, March 4.--William K
 Vanderbilt, Chauncey M. Depew and
 six other directors of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad,
 have written letter to the mayor say ing they are informed he has given his
 support to the Wainwright bill the ob-
 jeet of which is to name a fixed date
 on and after which the use of steam in
 the Park avenue tunnel be prohibited
 The directors say that it is not prac-
 ticable to run heavy through trains
 through the tunnell other than by
 steam, They say that if the necessary authority can be had they will run
 their suburban trains by electricity
 through the bore by means of loop and thus relieve the tunnel conditions This they are ready to do as quickly as the change can be made, and they also pledge themselves to extend electric ally equipped trains to all the tunnel tracks when a practicable system can be devised. They mention, however, that to fix an arbitrary date for this would be unreasonable Finally they ask the mayor to withdraw his support of the Wainwright bill and to agree to a bill which shall confer the necessary authority upon the state railroad com mission to pass upon the company's plans, and give that board power to determine upon the plan for necessary changes and additions to the com panys stations and terminals
 The mayor sent copy of this letter to Assemblyman Bidell, chairman of the assembly railroad committee. He added that he considered the word of the directors as good as their bond He said that their letter seemed to lay a good foundation for the waiving of fixed date for the prohibition of steam in the tunnel, but that he would like to l confer with MT Wainwright on the | matter before changing his attitude. He | expressed himself as averse to referring the matter to the railroad commission.

 ALIzE STR EFT CAR TRAFFIC.
Cars Repeatedly Derailed and Wagon Loads of stone Dumped Upon the Trncks-Froe Flights Between Military Guards and the Croyvds-Tulk of Placing City Under Martial Law.

Norfolk, Va, March IA mob of five
 thousand strike sympathizers thronged
 the streets of Norfolk to-day on which
 runs the main line of the Norfolk Rail-
 way and Light company, and the police
 were unable to cope with it. From
 noon until after dark when the cars,
 which had been run with difficulty all
 day, guarded by attachments of mili-
 tia, were housed in the barns, the mob had things it's own way. Cars were repeatedly derailed, wagonloads of stones were piled on the tracks and free fights between the military guards and the crowd occurred during the day at frequent intervals.
 In one of these a sergeant ran bay onet into the arm of H. Harmanson, barber. Mrs Harmanson was standing by her husband at the time, and she knocked the sergeant down with both fists and discolored the face of Lieu tenant F. R. Gale, who was near her, with a well-directed blow. Several sol diers were hit by bricks and other mis- siles thrown through the windows of. the cars. A number of arrests have been made both by the police and mlli- tary.
 A conference between Mayor Beaman, Chief of Police Vellines and Colonel Higgins, commanding the Seventy first Virginia regiment, eight companies of which are in service, was held to-day relative to placing the city under mar tial law The police force of one hun dred men has been on duty for forty eight hours and is unable to meet the It is possible that the four additional companies of the regiment and a battery of artillery will be called for in the morning. No settlement of the strike Is in sight.

CRISIS IN DidMOND IRADE.
Impending Failure of Antwerp, Am-
 sterdam and London Firms.

Brussels, Feb. 4.-Numerous and con- tradictory reports are current here as to the crisis in the diamond trade, and the newspap pers refer to the impending failures of several firms in the diamond business at Antwerp, Amsterdam and London. They allege that some dia- mand merchants have been guilty of ex- tensive defalcations and have fled to London and New York. The crisis is said to be due to the large quantity of goods on warrant, which can only be disposed of at a loss The Masseger deBruxelles says that the extradition of two men who fled to New York with 800, 900 francs worth of diamonds has been demanded. A telegram received here tonight from Antwerp says the diamond market is calrner as a result of the proposals of three diamond mer- chants to effect an arrangement with their creditors.
 London, March 5.--The Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Mail says in dispatch that 4,00O min in the dia- nond trade there are idle It Is declar- ed, says the correspondent, that unless the diamond cleavers abandon their strike soon every Antwerp and Amster- dam factory will be closed.

DEFENDS BRETISH VAR OFFICE.
Mir. BrodricE Declares It Has Done Its
 Work We'll.

|
 London. March 4.--In introducing the
 army estimates. e69,310,000. IT the
 House of Commons to-day, the war
 secretary, MT. Brodrick, entered into a l long defense of the war office, which, he contended, had done it's work well, con
 sidering that a war had never before
 been waged on such a scale as the
 South African war. The war office to-
 day was feeding 300, 900 men and 245000
 horses in South Africa and there were
 no complaints on that score. The experiences of the past year had confirmed the necessity for changes in the army administration in decentrali- Zation, etc, as outlined by the govern ment last year. Military officers and clerks were being rapidly substituted in the war office for civilian officers and clerks.
 In regard to the recruiting, MT. Brod- rick believed tat the limit had been reached
 No reduction in the strength of the army could be expected, probably, the Indian garrison must be increased, and the country had already had enough ex- perience in allowing the colonial gar risone to sink below their proper limits. With the view of giving a flip to re- cruting the government proposed to allow enlistment for three years, with nine years in the reserve and with the object of inducing men to enlist for h. da and elsewhere abroad it was pro- posed to give every one a clear shilling per day. If, after two years, the sol dier decided to serve eight years with the colors and four years in the reserve he would be paid an extra six pence daily. MT. Brodrick believed this would result in the enlistment of a better class of men
 In regard to the much discussed ques- tion of volunteers, MT. Brodricl de- Clared that if the volunteers were to be a bar to conscription they must make themselves efficient. It was proposed to establish volunteer reserve, of men over forty years of age, who were una be to comply with the ordinary regu- lations, and establish during the pres ert year militia reserve of 90. 900 men. The education of all officers would be prosecuted and the expenses of young officers would be frightened

ENCE ON BLATCHLEY
 AVENUE SEWER MATTER.
Received from Harbor missioners in Regard to Improv- ing Approach to Tomlinson's Bridge Proposed investigation Concerning Chief Wrfnn's Horse Knocked fin tho Hoad-Other Business.
Hcad-Other Business.

At the meeting of the councilmen last
 night the board concurred with the al
 dermen in referring to the committed
 on sewers the communication from
 Mayor Studley in regard to the new
 sewer on Blatchley avenue. This com munication suggested that the common
 council take immediate action on the
 proposition to make a. new sewer on
 Blatchley avenue for the convenience
 of the Housatonic company, of Wall | lingford, and in the papers yesterday, 1 through a misunderstanding, it was said that the communication was tabled for printing. As 8 matter of fact, the
 aldermen and councilmen voted to refer the matter to the sewer committee, with the suggestion that the matter be acted upon as soon as possible.
 Resolutions that were adopted at the
 last meeting of the board of harbor commissioners and sent to the mayor were received from his honor at the meeting last night, with the suggestion that action be taken on them. They are as follows:
 Whereas, The present condition of the west approach to Tomlinson's bridge is detrimental in navigation in prevent ing the free flow of water, therefore be it
 Resolved, That the matter be respect fully called to the attention of his hon. or the mayor of the city of New Haven, with the request that the matter be taken under consideration with a view to improving the conditions by remov- ing the old piers and piling.
 The communication was referred to the committee on railroads and bridges
 A long opinion by Corporation Coun- se Daggett in regard to the licensing of journeymen plumbers was read before the board and 1t was referred back to the committee on ordinances
 The resolution of Alderman Walter F. Walsh which was submitted to the al- dermen Monday night, and by that board referred to committee, was ta- bed indefinitely by the councilmen. This was the resolution to investigate the reports to the effect that the horse of the chief of police which is kept at police neadquaftefs DaTn, was uSeu -Dy the chief for other purposes than those of the office. By the action of the coun- rilmen on the matter last night it is probapsA that the proposed investiga- | ton will never take place and that the matter will be hung up between the two boards. The chiefs steed will therefore eat city oats without interruption.
 All of the recommendations of the on streets and claims that | were adopted Monday by the aldermen were concurred in by the councilmen ast night.
