The witness O’ Connor, who swore that Timothy | ngen lustruee- d him to visit ‘we night and intimidate them, has masse a sworn information, declaring that the evi- dence was absolutely false. O'Connor being sick, and fearing death, sent for a priest and confessed, whereupon the priest insisted on his making reparation. The Parnellite leaders are disappointed, however, in not ob- taining from O'Connor the names of the ver- sons who instigated the perjury. The evident reluctance of the commission jodges to deal with casesof contempt of court causes in- creasing boldness in criticising their conduct. The other day at dinner Justice Day was asked by a gentieman how long the commission would last. His reply was that he thought it could only end in one way—that was the death of one of the judges. O* BRIEN’S ARREST. Accounts of Mr. O'Brien’s arrest in Manchester, one of the divisions of which is represented in Parliament by Balfour,say that it is impossible to describe the enthusiasm on O’Brien’s behalf. Even the city authorities showed him every consideration. O’Brien passed the night in the Mayor’s private apart- ments,the last tenant of which was the Prince of Wales’ eldest son. „The Bismarck Dynasty.’ Lorpoy#, January 30.—The Contemporary Re- view contains an article eutitled Tue Bis- marck Dynasty,’’ which bears no signature, but which contains internal evidence of hav- ing emanated from a high authority. It is probable thatthe article will create a sensa- tion. It opens with a reminder that the Chancellor cannot live long. The American Minister at Berlin, the article says, five years ago, remarked with surprise that Prince Bis- marck was preparing no one to succeed him. The Chancellor, waking suddenly to this idea, set about developing Count Herbert Bismarck. ‘The article frankly alludes. to Count Herbert’s youthful brawis, to his later intrigues, and to his embroilment with «a woman at Bonn, from which he had to slash his way with his sword, receiving an ugly cut on the head. The Bismarckian contempt for women, accentuated by this and another in- trigue after the war, is represented as the origin of all that is baneful in the Bismarckian character. iu 1 ° ~ 4 PETTICOAT MEDDLING.. „We shall have no more petticoats med- dling in politicg, now, Was, according to ru - mor, the exe ation of the exultant Count Herbert onthe death of Emperor Frederick. The article affects to dismiss as monstrous the insinuation of the opponents of Prince Bis- marck that the Ohancellor meditated the death of Emperor Frederick when he insisted that Frederick ghould leave San Remo for Berlin, but depicts the idea that his ascendancy would be menaced by Empress Frederick as a night- mare to the Chancellor who further saw, by Frederick’s refusal to discuss state affairs with Count Herbert, that it was useless to hope that Herbert would ever be Frederick’s Chancellor. Who could, therefore, be sur- prised, the writer asks, had Prince Bismarck wished the cancer to make haste? PUTTKAMER’S DISMISGAL. make up his mind whether it would be wiser to resist or to Frederick’s desire, even after advising him tosign the decree of dis- miseal, and says that directly the decree was published the Chancellor told the Emperor he had gone too far. Entries in Emperor Frederick’s diary confirm this statement. ‘| The writer of the article asserts that a com- The article ia hardly 88 NN D 5 7 b 5 7 * ‘ = a = — 7 Er ee A ee vf AN ass e <a a 2 r 2 od bd my 5 6 e » 48 n wi: 2 * * 4 . — difficulty, moral or sentimental, in treating his mother in a manner after Count Herbert’s own heart, and iu treating the Prince of Wales with such discourtesy as to prevent any inter- course between them.

The prevailing feeling in parliamentary circles is that the Government will have a ma- jority in the Chamber of Deputies on the bill for the restoration of the Scrutin d' Arron- dissement system of voting, as members be- longing to the party of the Right prefer a oon - tinuance ofthe Floquet Ministry to an Op- portunist Cabinet.

A strong military guard is posted around the Parliamentary Building and no one is allowed to pass into the Chamber unless he can give convincing proof to the guards as to his iden- tity. The boulevards in the vicinity of the Chamber are patrolied by hussars. Members of the Opposition in the Lower House of the Diet to-day protested against the presence of the troops as impeding access tothe Chamber and pre- venting free debate. They therefore de- manded that the Chamber adjourn, which was acceded to. Upon the resumption of the sit- ting the House adopted a resolution offered by the President, empowering him to act in con- cert with the authorities to secure free access to the building and public tranquillity.

Overpowered and Roughly Handled by the Strikers and Syuspathizers—The Situationin Breoklyn. New YORK, January 30.—The situation in this city this morning, so far as the street-car tie-up is concerned, remains in practically about the same condition as yesterday. People accustomed to take the Twenty-third Street Crosstown road had to foot it this morning. The neighborbood of the Sixth avenue car stables was deserted, except by the police, this morning. It was said that cars would be started from there, beginning at 9 o'clock this morning, or as soon there- after as a sufficient force of police could be mustered to man them. Matters were quiet around the stables of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad Co. this morn- ing. The strikers stood in knots on the cor- ner, but were very orderly. A notice was posted inthe office window stating that em- ployes who did not report for duty before noon to-day would be considered discharged and those who returned to work.would be fully protected in the discharge of their duties. It was not known when this com- pany would start a car. The strikers appear to be very well posted regarding the situation thoughout the a 4 At the Eighth avenue stabies severai of them said that the Twenty- third street and Christopher street lines had been tied up. The police anticipate some trouble at the various stables when attempts are made to run cars this morning. Fears are entertained, especially with regard to the Sixth Avenue road. A LITTLE TROUBLE. There was a littie trouble on the Grand Street Cross-Town line at Fifth avenue this morning. Strikers overturned a coal wagon on the tracks, and it looked as ifan encounter was imminent. A patrol wagon full of re- serves was sent there from police headquar- ters, but when they arrived at the scene Capt. Thompson's reserves from the Eighth Pre- cint Police Station had removed the obstruc- tion and dispersed the strikers. CARS MANNED BY POLICEMEN. The Sixth Avenue road sent out their first ; licemen were on undred * attem he will not run more than ten or a dosen cars during the day. The Broadway line advertise in the morning papers for conductors and drivers to take the place of the strikers. STRIKERS GETTING DESPERATE. Large crowds of strikers and their sympa- thizers began to assemble early at the stables of the Belt Line. Additional police were tele graphed for and sent to the scene and cleared the sidewalks. Atl0o’clock the excitement was at fever heat, but upto that time no car had been started. It was said that if cars were started there would be bloodshed, be- cause the strikers were getting desperate. Police Supt. Murray was at headquarters at 5 o’clock this morning detailing men for the day’s work. He has at his command 2,500 men, and all have been detailed to points where it is thought trouble may occur. UNDER STRONG GUARD. Dispatches to headquarters reported that the Third avenue line had run eight cars dur- ing the night and that no trouble had been experienced. Policemen rode on the cars, while others were stationed all Sheng the route. Notice has been served on ead- varters by the officials of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue line that they intend to start a car at noon. OLD DRIVERS GIVE UP. At the Fourth Avenue Depot a notice is posted to the effect that 175 conductors, 175 drivers and 150 stablemen are wanted to take the places of the strikers, and all newcomers are notified that those who go to work now will be retained in the employ of the com- any whatever the result of the strike may be. bp to 11:30 about fifty applicants for the ai- had been accepted, and at that hour twenty-six cars had been started. Six ofthe old drivers reported for duty before noon and were put to work. The cars are being run only as far down as Fourteenth street and as far up as Eighty-sixth street. The avenue is lined with people watching the running of the oars and evidently expecting a collision. Thus far, however, the operations of the strikers have been without violence in this quarter. RESTING QUIETLY. Supt. Foulk of the Ninth Avenue Line stated to a reporter to-day that his road would not send out any cars till the trouble was all over. He did not care to incite a riot. The men had been forced to leave their work without any reason for it, and he was not going to increase the complications of the situation. Mr. Fouik says he can see no reason why the State Board of Arbitration should have any part in this matter, and that he should certainiy decline to treat with them. A LIVELY ENCOUNTER. Atllo’clock a mob of strikers gathered at the corner of Bedford and Carmine streets and overturned half a dozen wagons on the Sixth avenue tracks. They also compelled two ash- men to dump their loads on the tracks and thirty milk cans and a lot of paving stones were scattered along for the length of an en- tire block. The only policemen on duty there at the time were Officer Byrnes and Shanaban of the Ninth Precinct. They did the best they could with the mob until a Sixth av- enue car came Gown when they were rein- forced 4 oe four policemen who were on tions men. low Fitty-ninth street, where two vehicles, a on that line to-day. 1 . 5 43 e . 1 Sa a eae 2 4 ey „5 a . ao 1 ao . 2 —— 5 — ae a aa 2 te 22 3 2 e R F N 1 a) F 8 r : 8 1 2 “ ay . thronged with strikers, and as many of them are under the influence of ; serious trouble is feared on.

The 1,450 horses in the Atlantic avenue car- stables, in Brooklyn, are growing stiff for want of exercise, and some have not been cleaned since Friday. Citizens are forced to walk, store-keepers are losing trade and theaters are sparsely peopied at night. Former opponents of elevated roads are urging the extension of the Union Elevated through thoroughfares in Brooklyn. Judge Robertson ofthe Board of Arbitration said he thought the trouble might be adjusted, but Richardson refused to meet the Board and no proposition can be discussed. The strikers seem anxious to enter into some sort of agree- ment, but Richardson will not listen to anything. Minor assaults continue, but there is no serious trouble. Police Commissioner Bell says the police protection is ample and that the delay in running cars is due to Rich- ardson’s indecision. ‘‘Whenever he’ gets ready to act, said Commissioner Bell, ne will ing that the police will preserve order.“ CASUALTIES. Threwan From His Carriage—Accidentally Shot—Seriously Injured. By Telegraph to the PoRT-DISPATCH. New YorK, January 30.—The big ferry- boat Brooklyn of the Hamilton Ferry left the Brooklyn side of the river at 8 o’clock last nightand alittle steam launch belonging to the German steamer Hanson Court left Pier 5, East River, witn five men on board, afew minutes later. There was no light on the lit- tle launch, and the lookout paid no heed to where they were going. Thus it is that in the darkness the ferry-boat crashed into the little launch and noone knew what had hap- pened untilthe men cried for help. A pas- senger on the ferry-boat named Will- lam Hickey of Brooklyn happened to be standing on the deck atthe time and saw the launch just before it was struck. He said there were no lights and as it was very dark the ferry-boat was hanging over the launch before he could see the little boat. He eried to the engineer to reverse his engine but it was too late. The bow of the Brooklyn had struck the launch amidship, and ‘turned it over like a crushed egg-shell. Three ot the five mien on board the launch escaped, and two were drowned. The men appeared to have no idea how their lives were saved and attributed it to nothing but luck. The Captain of the Hanson Court, Au- gust Beckmann, who was one of the five, knew nothing of the accident until the Brooklyn rushed down on his little craft. He reached out biinaly and seized the first thing his hands could reach, which, ut turned out after- wards, was the side of the launch, and there he clung, although he was dragged through the water and his boat was turned completely over. When the launch rolled up from beneath the water, he was still holding on. He was thought to be drowned until he was heard cry- — tor heip. The tug Garlick, which was lying beside pier 4, pushed out and after a great deal of work managed to pick him up. Capt. Beckmann was so thoroughly exhausted that he could not hold the ropes thrown him, and he bad to be picked up with ape pole. His wet clothes were removed and he was biankets and taken to the wetting. He was in a dazed condition and said of the accident: don't know how it happened. I — 4 clung to the side of the boat and was saved. Two of the men, I hear, have been drowned I do not know their names. He 1s 31 years of age, a German and unmar- ried. The other two who were saved had even more remarkable experfences than the Cap- tain. Howell Eckert, the chief engineer the Hanson Court, and Thomas Lad, the sec- ond mate, said that after the accident they were crying for — and clinging to the big bunoh of chairs which hung about the rua- der ofthe ferry-boat. Their cries attracted the attention of the people on board the Brooklyn and they were soon relieved from their dangerous position. Beyond a thorough scare and wet feet they did not suffer any in- jury.
