The strikers to-day threatened, unless
some agreement was reached during the
day, to lultll their threat of Monday and
call out the surface roads, the employees
of the elevated roads and ferries. The
two forces were face to face to-day. and IA
bitter struggle may break out inside of
two DAYS more.

were presented to the Railroad Commits
sion this afternoon. The Commission
then announced that they would leave the
city tor Albany his afternoon.
STILL IN SESSION.
NEW YORK, April -, = A. M.-The men
on strike at 12:3O o'clock this morning
were yet continuing a long and secret
session, over and about which they we're
extremely mysterious. 1t was at that
hour generally believed, and the police
were so impressed, that an extensive tie
up would be ordered for to-day. There
is not a little uneasiness as to the possible
events OF the coming day.
