Xet a Car Rsaalag 1 the Ntreeta of the Great City. 8pecial Dispatch to Dlly Journal Nw York, March 5. The grand "tie-up" of all the surface lines in the city, or dered by the executive board of the Em pire Protective Association, took place this morning, and not a car is running. At o'clock the first car for the day on the Sixth avenue road ahould have left the depot at Forty-third street. The car did not do so, and, as the night men arrived with their cars ttaer ran them into the stables.

The men stood around quietly, laughed and chatted in the best of humor and did not attempt to resort to violence. The last car left the Broadway railroad depot at 3:50 o'clock- The next one to ar rive entered the depot and did not come out again. The men were very quiet. They did not intend to tie up until 4:50 a. but the agents from the Empire Protective Association arrived and ordered the men to leave, which they did ou the instant They assembled in orderly groups and re pared to march to their hall on "West Fifty-second street, where they will remain doling the day.

When car No. 204 of the Third Avenue line reached the depot at Sixty-fifth street at 4:20 o'clock, the driver turned from the main track into the stables and unhitched his horses. Every car that arrived subsequently did the same. There was not the slightest excitement or noise. At 4:45 o'clock there were only fifteen men about the depot.

They all belonged to the night force, for the day force simplified matters by not reporting for duty. President Lamb, of the company, was immediately notified, but he decided to do nothing until he calls the directors together during the day when it will be decided whether it be worth while to make an effort to run a car. A few policemen were sent over from the Forty-ninth street station, but their services were not needed for everything was quiet. Nsw York, March 5, 10:45 a. m.Up to this hour no disturbances have been reported at police headquarters.

Not a street car is running, and as yet no attempts have been made to send out cars. The city appears as if dead. Nothing like the present trouble has been witnessed since the worst days of the great epizootic epidemic a dozen years ago. The police force are thoroughly organized and are confident ot their ability to repress promptly any disposition to riot or disorder. Every man able to put on a uniform and carry a club was ordered on duty last night, and this morning 1,500 men are held in reserve.

Police headquarters look like an enormous bivouac of uniformed men, held in readiness to answer calls from any quarter. Squads of fifteen or twenty policemen were dispatched early to guard all railroad depots and stables. Mounted men patrol Grand street and the route of the Dry Dock railroad from end to end to keep the route clear in case of any attempt being made to run a car over the road as yesterday in order to save the company its charter. Police Superintendent Murray is determined to suppress a repetition of yesterday's scenes. No trouble is however apprehended.

The strikers preserve an attitude of quiet determination, awaiting the result of a conference now being held between the executive committee ot the Empire Association and Railroad Commis sioner O'Donnel, who arrived from Albany this morning, in answer to a dispatch demanding his presence. It will be followed by a meeting between the Commissioner-and the representatives of the railroad that will decide the line ot action. SETTLED BY ARBITRATION. New York, 1:30 p. m.

Police Superintendent Murray has received intelligence that the committees which met to consider the strike troubles have adjourned that matters have been adjusted and that the men will resume work at two o'clock this afternoon on all the lines in this city and Brooklyn. The company made a proposal to pay the men two dollars for twelve hours' work, leaving all other questions (or arbitration, and it was accepted. Beyeett of a Texas Railroad.

Thx ladaatrlal situation will no. be im proved by the circalation of exaggerated reports of difficulties. There is bound to he trktioain the conduct of basines operations amounting to millions of dollars an-nually: differences of opinion must from time to time arise between employers and employee, and it is inevitable that these i should occasionally be serious enough end in strikes. From these it is easy to construct reports of irreconcilable troubles tlut may involve the total suspension of manufacturing and to create a damaging prejudice ajrainit the city as a place lor the investment of capital. While it cannot be denied that recent derelopmeuts in the way of strikes, boycotting and the or ganization of branches of a powerful labor sjciety, indicate the existence of serious labor troubles, it is, nevertheless, true that Eacine Is bo worse off than many other towns of its class.

All the great manufacturing cities hare been or are now passing through contests between capital and labor, physical force sometimes being employed on both sides. The struggle has now-reached the smaller cities such as Racine; doubtless there will be many manifestations of trouble, bat it is unjust to the unwise, to represent it as in a peculiarly inflammable condition. It is merely one of a hundred industrial centers where an upheaval of classes is in progress. IT has been the aim throughout the waterworks campaigu.which has now entered upon the final stage, to get as good a bargain as possible for the city. There has ever been mnch doubt that a reasonably fair contract would secure the sanction ot the people, and the work has been leas to obtain that result than to fully protect the interests of the town.

The ordinance ap-- proved by the council and submitted to the people has been constructed upon the theory that both parties hare rights that must be protected. The city has not all that it wants but all that the other party would concede. To reach an undersUnd- ing concessions bad to be made on both sides. Thus the criticises made by Mr. Clancy upon the section of the ordinance providing for the purchase of the works by the city, while conceded to be well taken, could not effect an amendment because the constructing company would not accept it, and rather than forego the opportunity of securing a water supply upon fairly lavor- la terms, the council approved the ordinance contract as it stood.

Uad it been so amended, there would certainly be a more general and cordial approval of the plan adopted, bat even as it stands, defective in an important particular, there is little oubt that the popular desire for waterworks will override all objections and give he Howland plan a majority of the votes. The Gladstone ministry will be npheld by the aid of Paroell votes until the authoritative declaration of its Irish policy is made.
