 NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Not slnce the renewal of the ear strike on Sep tember when the men went out 10 obtain the reinstatement of the men who were discharged during the first strike, has there been anything like the disorder now prevailing in this city. And on very few occasions has there been such scenes of rioting and such d complete control of the streets by men bent on infiicting harm to human beings and damage to property.
 Last evening attempts were made by the traction company to run the cross town cars. As soon as cars had pro- ceeded short distance they were stopped and the crews forcibly remov- ed and beaten by the mob.
 When no more cars came forth the rioters stormed two car barns and drove out their occupants, Cars and equipment were demolished. All rail way employees about the car stations were put to flight.
 For hours the mob moved from street 10 street stopping all surface cars and maltreating the conductors

 The strikers made no attempt to stop the elevated trains but continu- ally pclted them with stones and garb- age. A number of elevated passen- gers were injured by missiles and fly ing splinters of glass.
 Atfer hours of delay and when to d certain extent the fury of the rioters had worn itself out, Police Commis- sioner Woods got together alarge force of policemen who dispersed the mob arrestng many who resisted.

The Senate late yesterday afternoon
voted down the Lee motion to strike
from the bill the section providing for
the volunteer army. The vote was Sc
to "a. The vote came after a debate of
several days, and the closeness of the
vote makes it doubtful whether the bill,
when il comes from conference be-
tween the two houses, will carry the
volunteer army provision, since it is
known that a strong sentiment against
the provision exists in the House. Ad-
vocates of the National Guard as the
first line of defense behind the regular
army oppose the volunteer army.
