Milwaukee Lines Open.

Milwaukee, May 13. — I The street railway strike is practically over. The company is operating 155 cars, two more than usual number, and traffic is maintained without interruption on all the lines. Thirty experienced men came from Cleveland to-day, and the same number from Buffalo. The latter were, in uniform. The company officers say they now have nearly enough men to operate the lines regularly. Defections have to be figured on, however. The strikers cut the trolley wires on North avenue this morning and the police made eight arrests for the act, including a member of the grievance committee of the strikers.
