NO STRIKE ON SUBWAY.
Trouble Averted ut Conference Yes
tcrday.

New York, Jan. 26.-Threatened
trouble between the Interborough Rap
id Transit company and it's employees
on the Subway and Elevated railroad
trains was ayerted at a conference be-
tween representatives of the company
an dthe employees to-day, After the
conference Vice President Bryan of the
Interborough company announced that
the demands of the men. had. been met
and that all danger of a strike was
past.
The trouble arose over the demands
of the men that several subway motor
mon who had been dismissed by the
company be reinstated. The dismissals
had resulted from accidents in which
the matormen were involved and which
the men claimed We're due not to the
motormen's negligence but to the fact
that the local tracks in the subway are
not equipped with the block signal sys-
tenn. --'' -

SPREAD OF THE STRIKE.
st. Petersburg Says the Situation is
Nowhere Acute.

Nowhere Acute.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 27--2 a. nl.-Al-
though the strikes in Reval, I4ibau,
Kieff, Odessa and a few smaller places
are extending, the situation is nowhere
acute. An increasing number Of work.
men are out in Moscow, but there is no
general tie-up or disorder there. The
whereabouts of Father Gopon still re-
mains a mystery, although it is believed
the priest is in Moscow.
The Russian capital presents almost
a normal appearance, and the authori-
ties are confident that the backbone of
the strike has been broken. Some fac
tories and mills already have resumed
and a general resumption of operations
lis expected on Monday. The authorities
expect that the failure of the strike
here will have discouraging effect up
on the workmen in other cities to which
the troubles have been spreading, and
believe that there is no longer danger
of complete suspension of all the in
dustrial concerns of Russia.
Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk-
Mirsky has promised a delegation of
editors who called upon him that he
will investigate the matter of the arrest
of number of prominent writer's who
are now confined in the st. Peter and
ST. Paul fortress, and secure their re-
lease as soon ais possible.

prominent men In the city, all favoring
the Lewis plan, Were read, however,
before the matter was opened for dis
cussion.

Henry Donovan. He said that it would
not be necessary to change the present
arrangement if the members Of the
board os finance whose duty it was,
saw that the military and poll taxes
We're collected, as they should be-. He
also thought a railroad tax, which he
claimed was 2 per cent, should be coll
lected. He said that by properly at
tending to these matters the floating
Indebtedness could be quickly cleared
away. In closing the speaker said that
the tax collector was under a bond to
collect the taxes, and that the work
should all be done.
Anthony Carroll was opposed to the
plan because he thought that it should
work a hardship on the poor people
who could spare the tax money a
great deal better in the summer than
they could in the winter. He said: "I

founded at the statement of Senator
Hale. He declared that the secretary
had now more power than he ever had
before. There was. he said, plenty for

National guard in different states. We
are specially favored in Ohio, and
deeply interested.

Break Through Gordon.

Break Through Gordon.
Moscow, Jan. 26.-Although the strike
is steadily spreading the movement
thus far has not been accompanied by
collisions Of great gravity. To-day's
events were restricted to minor slSir-
mishes on the northern and eastern
outskirts of the city, in which the
troops successfully resisted all efforts
Of the crowds to break through the cor
don. No bloodshed is reported Both
the authorities and the masters have
shown admirable GOODNESS in the face
of the situation, the former avoiding
provocation by studiousIy conceling the
troops and the latter by displaying a
readiness to meet the mems demands.
In the meanwhile the workmen and
masters are negotiating for settle
n1ent Of their differences. Several
firms are negotiating for settlement
os their differences. Several firms al
ready have offered an advance in
wages which would bring up the aver
age earnings of their Workmen to $40
per month and lodgings. One firm Of
fered to knock off one hour from the
legal working day of eleven hours, but
this is a burning question on which the
majority Of the masters are unwilling
or unable to agree to concessions.
The DaniloWslSy textile factor alone
continues working. The district across
the Moskva river is heavily guarded;
the authorities remain confident and
the police patrols have been reduced.
The situation, however, is none the less
uncertain, as it is still question
whether the workmen will remain
