Inspector Mclaughlin determined to do without the mounted squad after the early morning hours and they were sent back to the station housr D, and the cars were manned by half a dozen policemen armed with night sticks. The police details were stationed along the Fifth Avenue line and found their hardest work in trying to keep warm. Very few strikers were seen on the streets, the largest crowd being at the Twenty-third street stables, near their headquarters. A RIFT IN THE WAR CLOUD LIVE QUESTIONS IN CANADA. AUSTRIA'S MYSTERY.

Pope, who was the Independent Republican candidate for governor in 1E84, is being threatens! with lynching at Madison, whore he recently wont for tha purpose of procuring evideuce to sustain tho contest of F. 8. Goodrich (Rep.) for tho congressional seat for the district. Rumors reflecting on Mr. Pope's methods spread, and 'certain hot headed individuals took advantage of the popular excitement to instigate a movement against him. The authorities determined that Mr. Pope should be protected at all hazards. Governoi Fleming telegraphed to the same effect. Sheriff Parramore collected a posse and surrounded thi house where Mr. Pope was staying at the time selected for the attack. The would-be lynchers appeared, but were dismayed at the preparations made to receive them, and dispersed. It is feared that they will renew their operations, and the sheriff and posse are keeping careful watch over Mr. Pope. Mr. Pope is a native of Madison, but has become very unpopular of late years on account of his political record. He is plucky and telegraphs his friends that he has no fear.

Combating Laurier's policy for unrestricted reciprocity with the United States, the premier said the price asked for surrendering our proud position as a member of the greatest empire in the world to become a subservient outskirt to the American republic was too great, and commercial union must, in view of Senator Sherman's declaration for political union, be dropped in silence. Sllot fKruugh His Lodge Window. nflfenslve Citizens Attacked. Washington, Feb. 2.—A message from the presidont transmitting correspondence-en the Samoan question was received at the house. Under date of Feb. 1 Count Arco-Valley, German minister to the United States, under instructions from the German chancellor, sent the following communication to Secretary Bayard: Vbtoa, Fob. i —It is officially announced that Crown Prince Rudolph committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. The weapon used was a revolver. Nnw York, Feb. 3.—The scenes of the previous days of the strike were re-enacted in several localities, but were not by any means bo general. The strikers seem to be losing ground. Cars are running on nearly" all the lines with more or less success. e POWDER The Weiner Zeitung says: "Professor Wiederhofer, who performed the autopsy on the remains of Crown Prince Rudolph, found a large wound in the side of the head, which must have caused instant death. The revolver, with one chamber discharged, was found on the bedside close to the right hand of the dead prince. The portion in which it was found proves beyond doubt that the crown prince committed suicide. The pericranium was torn and the skull bones were partially shattered The report of the revolver was heard by no one, the crown prince's attendants having left the house to make preparations for a hunting excursion." At 1:46 o'clock in the afternoon everything was quiet along the route of the west side roads. It was decided not to run any cars on the Belt line or Eighth or Ninth Avenue roads. Around the stables of those roads a few strikers gathered. They were all very quiet The Sixth Avenue roal met with no interference in operating its D-oad, and the officials report that the average amount of passengers are being carried. The other roads in operation were all liberally patronized. The majority of the new men at work are without gloves or overcoats, and many of them have not got the requisite cash to buy a square meal. No rows are reported on any of the lines. A number of property owners have consulted Lawyer W. J. Gayner regarding the advisabisability of securing an order from the court compelling the company to run cars on. schedule time. When the state of war was declared against Mataafa the commander of the Uerinan squadron issued a proclamation by which the foreigners established in Samoa wer» subjected to martial law. International law would, to a certain extent, not prevent such a measure, but as Prince Bismarck is of the opinion that our military authority hss gone too far in this instance the military commander has received telegraphic orders to withdraw the part of his proclamation concerning foreigners.

His final and unalterable decision was reached after a careful consideration of the whole field, and was forwarded to the president-elect at Indianapolis. There is no doubt about this. New York, Feb. 8.—The following advices from Port au Pratre under date of Jan. 1» have reecbed here bj steamer: He Mast Htnnd % Second Prosecution, In negotiation with Hataafa our consul at Samoa has asked thai the administration of the Islands of Samoa might mporariiy handed over to him, which dC ™ »d, not being in conformity to our previous promises regarding its neutrality and independence, Mr. Knappe has been ordered by telegram to withdraw his demand. While Others Go Unmoletttcd, There is but little change in the situation here. The numerous arrests, imprisonments and subsequent trials and occasional executions has quieted all expressions of open opposition to President Legitime's rule in Port au Prince. Hyppolite's forces remain near Laccaer, ou the road to San Marc. The northern forces have received a fresh supply •jf arms and supplies, and they are now well equipped to stand an attack in their present position, to which point they advanced after their victories at Henche, St. Michael and Deicaliue. Only a small part of Hyppolite's forces participated in the recent affairs at Grand Salina, where the southern forces claim a victory. PaBIS, Feb. 2.—It is positively stated here that the Crown Prince Rudolph was murdered by one of th* '-.guest nobles of Austria, in ior the betrayal of his wife. The story goe3 that at a grand ball given by the German ambassador the crown prince paid marked attention to the lady in question. Arrangements had been made to drive him to his shooting lodge immediately after the ball, the object being to enjoy the drive in the early morning hours. New York, Feb. 2.—Ex-Alderman Arthur J. McQuade will appear this morning at the bar of the special court of oyer and terminer to answer anew the charge of his alleged betrayal of the interests of the city while ho sat in the notorious board of 1884. Hold On! The neighborhood of the Second avenue car stables, Ninety-seventh street and Second avenue, was the scene of considerable excitement. A rumor that a car would be sent out at 1 o'clock caused the strikers to gather *in full force. Half an hour later the avenue from One Hundredth street down to Eightyeighth street was filled with strikers, while from the windows of the neighboring tenements were thrust the heads of the female members of the strikers' families. The crowds lost no time, and soon the tracks of the road between Ninety-fourth and Ninety-fifth streets were covered with big stones and overturned wagons. A squad of policemen -was on hand, but did not remove the obstructions, as the president of the road denied the report that a car would start. The strikers, on learning this, became bolder, and began to look for trouble. They attacked an innocent pedestrian who was walking down the avenue, and badly beat him on the suspicion that ho was a scab. He was knocked down by a stone thrown by the mob. This incident happened at the corner of Ninety-eighth street. Three policemen hurried to the unfortunate man's assistance, and succeeded in rescuing him from his assailants. He was removed to a neighboring drug store, where his wounds were dressed. The position taken by the Iowa senator was in accordance with bis own private and political wishes. In a measure he was compelled to take the stand he did, because, had he not done so, he would have caused some of his warmest supporters in the senate and in his own state to grow cold toward him. The news that he had been the one selected by District Attorney Fellows came upon McQnade with an awful suddenness. It is only a very short time since he was released by a decision of the court of appeals from an imprisonment that had lasted twenty months, and he had just succeeded in again getting his business into shape. To the old friends and make new ones with every sale is our success— Secret: It keeps us on the alert to supply the demand and our low price movement seems to grow stronger with each recurring day. Senator Sherman laid before the senate a letter from the secretary of state in relation to the title of the United States in the harbor of Pago-Pago. It is as follows: OUR TITLE TO PAGO-PAGO. Indianapolis, Feb. 2.—It looks as though Gen. Harrison's cabinet had been smashed even before it was completed. Allison has refused to go into it, and Allison was to that cabinet like a stone to an arch. The whole combination had been built to fit the senator from Iowa, and his declination changes all tho circumstances that have controlled the choice of the other men, so far as they have been chosen, and there is every reason to sup pose that practically the whole cabinet had been selected, and Gen. Harrison really thought that his worry over it was ended. Department of Stats, I Washington, Feb. 1, 1839. | Hon. John Sherman, Chairman Committee on After the ball the prince met his companions at the appointed place and told them of an engagement he had made with the lady. They urged him to come with them, and warned him of the consequences of keeping the engagement. He was headstrong, however, and insisted on keeping the tryst. He laughingly told them to cease their remonstrances, which he declared were quite useless, and after specially enjoining them to avoid mentioning to anyone that he had faiU-a to keep to the original plan of driving out with them to the shooting lodge, he disappeared down the Herrengasse, waving in the air a pass key and singing snatches of a popular ballad. Six of his fellow-j indicted equally with himself had never been visited with any greater punishment than the inconvenience of obtaining bail for themselves, and he had expected that some one of them would have been asked to come to the bar. He was taken completely unawares, and his counsel will go to court with actually no preparation whatever other than the experience which they gained in the former trial. Dear Sir—Observing that the question of Tights of the United States at Pago-Pago harbor, Samoa, is under discussion in the senate, I enclose for such use as you may deem proper a copy of the deed of transfer of that harbor to the United States in 18 8, a copy of which was sent to the navy department at the time of its receipt here. With it are two notes of Mr. Qoward, who was the United States commercial agent at* that station, which is explanatory of the transfer. Very respectfully yours, T. F. Bajtahd. Following is a copy of the deed of transfer: U. S. S. Adams, I Harbor op Pago-Paqo, Aug. 5, 1878. 1 To whom it may concern: Foreign Relations, United States Senate. The small force retreated across the Artibonite and rejoined the larger force at Le Verte, which is being held against the souuiern army, as the loss of that place would cut off communication with Cape Haytien, Gonaives and St. Marc. Gen. Prophete, minister of war, commands the southern army approaching Goraives, and Gen. Piquant, minister of the interior, is approaching St. March, each commanding 3,000 troops. Gen. Latariese has left Port au Prince with reinforcements to attack Laccaer. The majority of the volunteers, which compose the greater portion of the armies, are secured in the fields and brought in under guard, frequently bound, and are immediately sent to the front to defend their captors. Hyppolite's forces are largely veterans of the former army and admirers of the late Gen. Thelamaque, and consider themselves his avengers.

Another gentleman, in discussing this phase of the dilemma,'predicted that the treasury would be offered to McKinley, of Ohio. 1 00 Berlin, Feb. 2.—The North German Gazette (Prince Bismarck's organ) says that a declaration of war against biamoa, in an international sense, is altogether improbable. The government has sent no such instructions, and as a matter of fact there is no opponent to declare war against, Germany having not recognized Mataafa. The Germans, on a basis of self defense or reprisals, may have engaged in actual warfare, but the movement has not involved the consequences of actua war. What Rlsmarok's Organ Says. On Monday morning at 7 o'clock one of the richest and most powerful nobles of the empire, a man of princely rank, although not a member of any of the royal or reigning families, was in the act of leaving his palace for the purpose of trying a young horse, which, reared in the imperial stud farms at Godollo, had just been presented to him by the crown prince, when suddenly he happened to catch sight of a man skulking in the shadow of the wall just under the private staircase leading up to his wife's apartments. The prince sprang forward to catch the stranger, who endeavored to save himself by flight. The prince, who was fleeter on foot, soon overtook him, and, clutching his cloak, tore it from him To his horror he discovered that the recreant was no other than the heir to the throne. The latter, taking advantage of the momentary consternation of his pursuer, sprang forward, and quickly jumping into the plain two horse fiacre, which he invariably uses on such occasions, w«s driven off before the wronged husband recovered his senses. .... 1 00 .74 cis lb .7 cis lb 6i cts lb .6 cis lb Be it known that we. the undersigned, being duly authorized and euTDowered by the taiumu and faipule of the Samoan government, do hereby, on this the 5th day of August, 1878, transfer to the government of the United States the privilege of using the port of Pago-Pago and the shores thereof, in accordance with provisions of a treaty of frieudship and commerce concluded at Washington, in the United States of America, between the United States and Samoa on the 17th day of "A" Exira "C Grown.

He finally drew his revolver and fired point blank at the crowd. Eye witnesses say that a tall man in a brown coat staggered and fell ail instant after the shot was fired, but was assisted to his feet and taken away by his friends. A brick thrown by the strikers struck the officer in the back of the head, cutting a gash and knocking him down. Then the whole crowd jumped on him, and pounded him over the head and body with bricks. The policeman got to his feet with difficulty, having seemingly been dazed by the first blow. He fought his assailants away with his club, and then drew his revolver. As the crowd closed on him again he fired, with the above result Assistance was summoned, and soon squads of policemen were hurrying to the scene. The strikers dispelled in all directions at the approach of the liluecoats.

It is thought that Mr. Piatt's appointment to the treasury would freeze Mr. Wanamaker out of the cabinet, and send the postmaster generalship to Clarkson, of Iowa. In the event of the capture of his capital, Legitime will offer to establish his rule only over the southern departments, acknowledging the northern departments under a separate government presided over by Gen. Hyppolite. Because Gen. Ancrona, commander of Touissaint's batteries, fired on San Marc without orders, Legitime has placed him under arrest and in double irons. The supporters of Legitime state that he has the most pacific intentions and claim that his influences would lead to the regeneration of the people of Hayti. January, 1878. Taimua ha Faitclb.

They didn't do much but watch the stables, from which it was said a car was to be started. But neither the company nor strikers did much. Early in the morning the company sent out a note of warning offering a reward of $250 for the arrest and conviction of any person putting obstructions ou the Commander Kellogg, of the Ossipee, has sent a report to the secretary of the navy stating that a disturbance occurred at the coal wharf while the vessel was loading coal. A dispute arose among the carriers, who began to throw stone and coal at the sailors. One of the petty officers was hit by a piece of coal, and he, in return, knocked his assailant down. This was the signal for a general rush of the natives. The officer of the deck, however, turned out the marine guard, who formed across the wharf and kept the crowd back, but did not advance beyond it "The fact is thus removed from the region of rumor to that of certainty. Mr. Blaine and Gen. Alger are closo friends, and the prospective secretary of state has given this information to the general." "To-day I was waited upon by the German minister at the capital, who read me a note from his government which I transcribed from his dictation and now inclose a copy of its text." On Wednesday morning the crown prince awoke very early and called to Johann to open the blinds and bring him his letters. It should be mentioned that the shooting lodge at Meyerling is a small two story building, and that the crown prince occupied an apartment on the ground floor, scarcely five feet above the level of the garden. On opening the blinds the valet remarked that there were two strange men in the garden, and mentioned the fact to the archduke. The latter carelessly replied that they were probably some of the beaters come for orders, and then, sitting up in his bod, propped the pillow up against the window, and, leaning his head against it, commenced to read his letters.

Instead of a two-thirds vote in its favor there was more than a twothirds vote against it, and it was finally shelved. It was not disposed of without debate, however. It occupied the attention ol the senate for nearly three hours. The debatewas carried on with some display of oratorical pyrotechnics, which undoubtedly had a great effect on the ultimate result.

When tho vote was taken only fifteen senators voted for the resolution to ratify and thirty-eight voted against it. All of the liepublican senators present voted in the negative. The action of the Republicans was undoubtedly due to a desire to leave the new administration unhampered, as, if the amended treaty had been ratified, it would have been pending unsettled between the two nations on March 4.
