Situation at New York Ks at High Tension-The Nat ter Is Now in the Hands of General Manager Eed!ey-Elevated Road Ken Have No Grievance But they hi4l Stand by the Subway Workers.

New York, Feb 2.-The critical polnt in the negotiations between tne lntelbUrough hapld Transit Co and it's empioyes Looking to all ad. ustment of the trouble which threatened complete ue-Gp Of both tue subway anu tue elevated lfneS Was reached to- day. Representatives of tine men an- nounced that the matter was entireiy III the hanus Of General Mauager Hedley of the Interborough compuuy and that upon hls reply to the de- ma1ldS submitted to inn yesterday Gepenueu tue outcome or the trouble. They added th;.t nothing but d con- plete acceptance of their demands drastic acton being taken.
 During the morning rumors were circulated that the men were ready to strike and that tile company was pre- pairing to operate it's lines with new men, but August Belmont, president of the lnterDOrough company depre- cated such talk. "I do not think" said he. that the company and us men are so far apart in the matter of the details of operating the subway as to justify frightening the travelling public into the belief that ue-up of the Interborough roads is at all im- minent.
 Superintendent Hedley has the matter entirely in his hands. and from what he tells me there are no grounds to warrant belief that we will not continue to operate the subway and the elevated trains to the satisfaction of the public and of the great majority of the employees"
 At the offices of the Peterborough company in ney street, where most of the men have heen hired In the past, there was unusual activity. Most of to-day's applicants for positions appar- ently were strangers in the city. Out side the offices representatives of the workmen's union kept close watch on all that was going on and the union leaders were advised, as to the number of men applying for positions. In anticipation of a possible tie-up of both the subway and the elevated lines more than sis thousand police men were held in readiness for in Stant service in Manhattan and tho P'"n~ to-day.
 While the grievances upon which the rO''s demH~d> are based have tn do only with conditions iu the subway it Is claimed by the l,hor leN~nrs that the elevated employees will join them to man in event of tbeir demands heinz refused.

His statement was verified by President Iencks nf the engineerS who added that the cor'p"nv had granted ever, demand r'ade hr the men. There vii be no strike. now. said Mir Jencks.
