STRIKERS REMAIN QUIET
NO ATTEMPT AT VIOLENCE AND MAIL
CARS NOT MOLEsTED.
Appeal of New Orleans Street-RaiIway
Created Public Sympathy.

NEW ORLEANS, La. Sept. 30.-The con-
ditions in the street car strike to-day from
the standpoint of the guardians of the
peace were very satisfactory. No trouble
occurred. being due, it is believed, to the
fact that no effort was made to move any
cars other than those carrying the mails.
Few of the strikers were congregated
about the various barns and power houses
OF the railway company. Several mail cars
were run and delivered mail to the sub
stations without difficulty in the quarter
below Canal street On the uptown lines,
receiving power from the Arabella street
barn, nothing could be done with the mail
cars on account of the trouble on the wires.
A mail car left the Magazine barn and
went to the custom house, but could not
then be taken back, as there was no
power. Ii was reported that wires had
been cut, but ii is believed that the trouble
vas due to the wires being grounded. Be-
cause of this unlocked for occurrence il
was decided that the cars would not be
used to convey the mail to the uptown sta
tions. and wagons were brought into re-

railway Company in causing the arrest of
the officers and members of the union, and
seeking the Intervention of the Federal
courts while the local authorities had
shown that they were fully able TO cope
with the situation. has apparently intensi-
fed public sympathy for the strikers While
the representatives of the company ex-
pressed surprise that the services of the
United States marshal had been invoked
and disclaimed responsibility for this, still
IL ore OF their agents who made the
. sixteen affidavits. At the time the affida-
Wits were prepared the men were closeted
at their quarters considering the commu-
nication that had been addressed TO them
by railway officials and handed to them by
Mayor Capdevielle.
The arrest OF the officers and members
of the union necessarily cut off further
consideration of the communication In
order to allow them TO secure bondsmen.
Six OF them surrendered last evening and
furnished bonds at $500 each. The presi-
dent OF the Carmen's Union assured the
marshal that the remaining ten would sur
render this morning. The bonds for these
ten were fixed by United States Commits
stoner Craig at $4,000 each
This afternoon Acting Postmaster Kur-
sheedt said he had been furnished with
sufhclent ears and wagons to attend to the
distribution OF the mails TO and from the
various suostations throughout the city.
He said that none OF the cars were being
fnterfered with and everything. in so far as
his department was concerned, was moving
along satisfactorily. Mayor Capdevielle
and others are still making every effort for
a settlement OF the strike.

ANOTHER NAVAL SUICIDE.


NEW YORK, Sept. 9o.-Lieutenant Com
mander William Venable Bronaugh, of the
United States navy, committed suicide to-
day on the battleship Kearsarge at the
navy yard by blowing out his brains with
a revolver. Friends of Commander Bro
naugh believe that he was very much wor-
ried over the manifold duties of his posi-
ton as executive officer, which are consid-
cred to be more arduous than those of any
other position of rank in the navy. Purneil
p Harrington. captain of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, said
There is an epidemic of suicide in the
navy, as surely as there was ever an cpl
demic of fever. Such thing may occur
and can be explained. The man has prob
ably been thinking of the other suicides
which are very sad affairs, and then, in
an unguarded moment the desire to try
it seized him and ii was all over in a
minute
Commander Bronaugh was born I'm Ken

UNNECESSARY ALARM,
Porte Unduly Exercised Over the New
Disorders in Macedonia.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept aO.-Diplomat-
ic circles here do not regard the situation
in Macedonia as being so serious as would
appear from the Turkish governments mil
itary preparations in the calling out of
10000 men of the militia reserves. The
Porte's alarm is partially attributed to the
maneuvers and other incidents of the Ship
ka pass fetes, the political Importance OF
which. however is considered to have been
greatly exaggerated, in view of the ap-
proach Of winter, when the movements will
necessarily be stopped.
1t is not thought that the threats of the
Macedonian committee will foment a gem
eral revolution or develop into anything
very serious.
