ference, Makes Concessions.

Following the conferences between the repre-
sentatives Of the elevated road employees union
and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company

ference was held yesterday forenoon, which
brought the troubles nearer to a settlement.

before the representatives of the men arrived,
and appeared to be pleased with it.

agreement would be ratified. II provided for
further advances in wages amounting in the
aggregate to a large sum. Regarding the nine

Mr.. Hedley declared the men were better paid
here than in Brooklyn Chicago There were
some disa greeable things on the schedule when
the InterbOrough COMPANY took charge which
were not to the advantage of either side, he
said. Everything could not be made shipshape

COURTESY TO GERMANY.
FLEET WILL VISIT KEEL.
Criticism Of This Countrys 4ction
Based on Misconception.

Washington. April 1S.-From the highest Off
cial quarters it is learned that the criticisms
in few German newspapers directed against
a supposed decIination of the Navy Department
here to send an American naval squadron to
Kiel this summer based on a complete
misunderstanding OF the situation. The facts
explained as follows: No set and formal
invitation from the German Government TO
send American squadron to Kiel was ever
received, but through semi-offieial channels
intimations did reach Washington that the Ger
man Emperor would be pleased to have the
North Atlantic Squadron stop at Kiel in the
naval demonstrations. Failing that. it was
in the same Informal way suggested that when
Admiral Evans retired from his command In

to have him touch at some German seaport

Of the friendship which he cherfshes toward
Germany, and the President and Secretary Hay
have the same disposition. They were resolved
to miss no opportunity to recprocate the
many kindly expressions of regard for America
that had come directly from Emperor William
But circumstances cOnspired to make 1t I'M
possible to meet either of the hints thrown out
from Germany. First, as to the North Al
lantic Squadron, the General Board here had
planned an extensive scheme of manoeuvres and
drill work which had advanced so far toward
execution that the results of failure TO com
plete the work would have been disastrous 70
discipline.
AS Admiral Evans's invitation, II was de-
cided that the Kentucky, having been in semi
tropical waters for d long time, and having De
fore her voyage of nearly $4,000 miles, return
ing to New-York in the shortest line would De

not have been an attractive ship TO inspect at
