Looking to n Settlement of
the Questions at Issue.

NEW YORK, July 21.——Cars were
running on all of the electric lines of the
Metropolitan Street Railway company
yesterday, and the officials of the compa-
ny declare that the regular schedules of
the lines are being observed. Thestrike
leaders assert they have gained many re-
cruits and declare the Madison and Sec-
ond avenue lines are badly crippled.
They also assert that the Eighth avenue
line is running far behind its schedule.

The rioting which marked the begin-
11ng of the strike has ceased. Deputy
Chief of Police Curtright said yesterday
afternoon that no serious trouble had
been reported from any part of the city.

President York of the police board
called on Mayor Van \Vyck yesterday
.- fternoon. He said afterward: “The po-

' lice are amply able to cope with the
strike situation. This talk of calling out
the militia is pure nonsense. I have been
asked by the railroad companies to ap-
point special policemen at their expense,
and I positively refused. If the police
oflicials cannot cope with this emergency,
they should go to Europe. The strike, I
think, is almost over."

The elevated roads have been crOwded,
many persons Tearing to ride on the sur—
face cars because of the violence of
Wednesday.

All the barns of the Metropolitan line
Were guarded by strong forces of police
during the night, but the squads general-
ly t'bok a much needed rest. It was fear-
ed tlle're.would be trouble when the day
schedule was put into effect, but the po-
lice found nothing to do. Policemen rode
on the night cars of the various lines, but
had little trbuble.

From present indications the Brooklyn
strikers are losing. Cars are running
on schedule time nearly everywhere
throughout the city. For the most part
verything has been quiet. Another aft-

our-men report that not a whisper was
heard.”

The strikers last night held eight se‘cret
meetings throughout Brooklyn borough.
Most of the 'meetings were ,visited
by General Master Workman Parsons,
who made short addresses to the strikers.
A unanimous vote of confidence was

DEWEY AT Tallest:
- Warmly Welcomed by the Austrians.
Health Excellent.

TRIESTE, Austria, July 21.—The
United States cruiser Olympia, with Ad-
miral Dewey on board, arrived here yes
terday morning. a

The principal paper, 11 Picnic, has a
flattering article welcoming the admiral
to Austria. .

Admiral Dewey’s secretary said the
passage of the Olympia from Port Said
was a pleasant one. The Olympia will
remain here aboufi two weeks.

Admiral Dewey’s health is perfect.

Upon her arrival here the Olympia
fired a salute of 21 guns, which was re-
turned from the fort and four Austrian
and :one Greek warships subsequently.
Admiral Dewey received visits from the
port authorities, the United States minis-
ter to Austria, Mr. Addison C. Harris,
and the staff of the legation and the con-
suls of the United States.

Admiral Dewey passed the day quietly
on board the Olympia. He expressed
himself as delighted with the scenery in
the gulf of Trieste. This is his third
visit here, his first being. in 1867. He is
an old friend of the Austrian Admiral
Tegethoff, the victor over the Italians in‘
the battle of Lissa, the thirty-third anni-
versary of which occurred yesterday.

Admiral Dewey has made a good im-
pression upon all who have come in con-
tact with him, and his unaffected- mod-
esty has won him golden opinions.

 

Dewey Coming Soon?

LONDON. July 21.—The Trieste cor-
respondent of The Daily Mail telegraphs
that Admiral Dewey, in the course of a
conversation with the correspondent, de-
clared that he had small claim to be re-
garded as a hero, as nervousness and bad
coffee made him dreadfully seasick be-
fore thé battle of Manila began. The
correspondent also said that Admiral
Dewey will return to America shortly
via Bremen in a mail steamer.

Deafness cannot be

by local applications as they cannot.
reach the diseased portion of the car.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
aid that. is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. ‘ When this tube Is
enflamed you have a. rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when It. 159
entirely closed, deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out. and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing WIll be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth-
ing but. an inflamed condmon of the
mucous surfaces.
