In the house the coinmitttee on rules scoied a point in providing more hours of work, The Democrats will hold a caucus tomorrow and an effort will be made to form a combination with the Martin-Porter people to fight Quay and his friends. The Democrats are anxious to defeat the bill being urged by the state administration to reorganize the state banking depart ment and Increase the. salary of one superintendent $4,000 to $0,000. They ere in a hopeless minority, though. In both branches, and even if they were to combine with Quay's opponents, this could not rally enough votes to defeat this or any other measure in which the Heaver senator Is Interested.

COMPLICATIONS OF STRIKE Much Grief in Store for the Brooklyn , Trolley Car Magnates. STRIKE PRACTICALLY OVER Vet the Street Car Olliclals Will De Ar raigned for Violations of Labor and Other Lows and Roads Will lie Iloycotted. By tho United Press. Brooklyn, Jan. 29. The withdrawal of the Vtvst brigade was followed by many small disturbances. President Ltwla declaimed with muoh emphasis that It was a serious mistake to with draw the brigade. He said that he had received anonymous information that If the remaining troops are disbanded. sheol will break loose. He had a body guard of detecMves about his person, and President Norton never moves without an armed guard at his side. On the other side the mayor, General McLeer and other officials believe that quiet Is restored and turbulence at an end. Master Workman Connelly still in puts that the strikers are not beaten. There are no signs of a break In their ranks. Only a few of them have made personal application. The formal ten der of 'their services by Mr. Connelly wa l a move upon which to base an ap plication for u new writ of mandamus. This was made against the Atlantic Avenue company today and was the first proceeding In court against that company. Similar writs are to follow against the Brooklyn, Queens county, and Suburban. The Brooklyn Heights company was served with formal notice In the mandamus proceedings against them. They have twenty days to an swer. They have also 'to appear before the attorney general at Albany tomor row in the application for action look ing to the forfeiture of their charter. In addition to this, warrants are to be upplied for tomorrow before Justice Tlghe, for the arrest of the officers of the line for violating the ten hour law. One motorman has made allldSvIt that he was forced to work eleven hours and f ix minutes for the company. Violation of the ten-hour law Is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $500 for each offense, or lmirl9onment ror three months. There are J.ooo em ployes who threaten to bring action. Still further proceedings which are In the programme are suits by each em ploye for one week's salary, and suits for damages by merchants whose busi ness has been prostrated. While the strikers are pulling all these strings to give trouble to the companies and force athem to surren der, there are other complications. Other Complications. The board of aldermen are seeking for some means of demolishing the com panies; the labor organizations have decided not to ride In their cars; the grand Jury is looking into the loss of life and limb due to violations of the laws regulating speed of cars; the board of arbitration has gone to Al bany to report upon the causes of the strike, and a new committee from the legislature Is on Its way to Investigate the whole matter. All In all ,the lot of the trolley magnate Is not a happy one. Tha companies made a good showing In the number of cars run and lines operated today. They have shown that all they need Is time to engage and break in new men, and protection for the men and property of the roads. Snow and cut wires In the early morn ing gave them some trouble, but by noon about two-thirds of the number of curs operated previous to the strike were in operutlon. Cars run close to schedule time all duy and later at night than has been attempted In two weeks. Only once toduy were the troops called out. At about 3 p. m. a gang of men placed a wagon on the track of the Fifth avenue line at Twenty-first street and mobbed the crew of the first car which arrived. The policeman on the front platform was powerless. He whistled for help, however, and another officer nutified the Twenty-third regi ment boys at the stables of the line at Twenty-third street. The militiamen rushed to 'the rescue at double quick. The mob scattered In all directions. Lewis Grim, one of the men In the crowd, attempted to remove the lever used by the motorman to turn on the current, and was arrested. Numerous Accidents. Tlfcre were many accidents today due to the Inexperience of motormen. Trol ley car 1310, of ithe Hnlsey street line, ran Into a coach at the corner of Ful ton and Oxford street at 3.40 p. m.

The motorman was arrested. In tho police courts today twenty-two1 men were arraigned charged with stone throwing, wire cutting, track obstruct ing or otherwise Interfering with trol ley roads. They were all held for trial. ELECTION AMMUNITION. AThousund Hottlcs of Whiskey Alleged to Have Been Used, By the United Press. Indima, Pa., Jan. 29.

He is hav ing a vote polled on the Southern Pa cific, along the entire system, on the uqestion ot ordering a general strike If the Southern Pacific company will not recede from the schedule pre sented the first of the year.
