NOT SURFACE CAR RUNNING.
| At halfpast ten no disturbance had been re-
ported TO the police. Not car is running and
the city appears as If dead. Nothing like this
has been witnessed since the worst DAYS Of the
epizootic, a dozen years ago.
| In Brooklyn the seven roads operated py the

but no violence Is reported. The New York
police is thoroughly organized and confident OF
Its ability TO repress promptly any disposition

sentatives OF the railroads that will decide the
line OF future action.
NO STRIKE PROBABLE on THE Ell. ROADS.
| The rumor that the employees OF the elevated
roads would strike at noon has proved to have
been without foundation. At 1870 O'Clock all
| trains on the elevated roads were running as
usual, and Superintendent Hahn states that he
does not believe his men viii strike, as their
doing so would be OF no possible use 10 the
face railroad strikers.
THEY STRUCK IN sELF-pEFENsE
The strikers were assembled at Adelphia hall,
| and here the same excellent self-control was OBJ
served. The men We're extremely reticent, say
ing in reply to questions that they were pledged
not TO 'give away" what was going on. One of
the leading spirits among the men was finally
| found, who said that the employees had taken
| this serious step because they believed that
| they must act as unit, because they
| had evidence TO prove that the officials Of
| the various railroads in town had been in con-
sultation with the officers OF the Grand street
line and that they had assured the Grand street
officials OF their support and sympathy. The
men stated that they had no alternative but
to do as they did. He said that the public
| might be sure OF one thing, namely, that the
nor would they. III acts of violence were COM
mitted they would be done by lawiess people
not connected with the strike in any way.
THE DIFFICULTIES ADJUSTED.
Superintendent Murray of the police has re-
ceived intelligence that the committee which
met 10 consider the strike trouble has adjourned.
Matters have been adjusted so that the men
will resume work at o'clock this afternoon ON
all lines in this city and Brooklyn.
