Cars Running at Infrequent in-
tervals on the Subway and
Elevated Lines in New York
Today—Both Sides Claim
They are Making Gains
NEW YORK. March 8.-—-'l‘hc second
day of tlio strike on the subway and
elevated lines begun with little change
from yesterday's conditions. 'l‘rnlns
were running in the subway and there
was some improvement shown in the
service on the elevated. but the trains
carried comparatively low passengers
and the greater part of the downtown
truffle was handled by the surface
lines. The Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Company put every trolley car
available into service and did its best
.0 handle tin.- groat crowds.
Their~ seemed to be nothing for the
public to do but to get about as hap-
uazardly during today as they did
yesterday. All during the night the
Second and Ninth avenue branches of
the elevated were lied up almost
completely and the running on the
Third avenue elevated was poor. The
Sixth avenue lines. however. made a
good record and the subway ran trains
Willi considerable regularity.
Tllc hazards of the situation as
shown in last evening's subway col-
lision at 23rd street. in which 28 per-
sons were hurt, kept many pcoplo
from trying the subway or elevated
"day and they returned to the surface
trolleys, These cars were packed to
alliteration, and in many instances
there were passengers on the roofs of
he Metropolitan’s cars.
There was no sign of giving way by
either side when the day opened. The
lnierborough officials said they were ill
a better position than yesterday. that
they would rtln mole trains today. and
that the situation was growing better
tor them all the time. The strike lead-
era. on the other hand. declared that
all their men were holding firm: that
the company had done its best yester-
day. and that from now on it. would
be increasingly difficult for the officials
.o operate the subway and elevated
lines.

There areiugly rumors simulating
the streets that thc.day is. lost and
that. the Russian army is in full and ‘
disorderly retreat. with only the gel-
3 lant rear guard fighting off the victor-
ious Japanese.
According to other rumors. the lack
of news is accounted for by the report
that the Japanese have cut the Rulslan
i {Ace of communications. But these are
ill rumors. All the military critics

Kbropatkin‘s position» is extredteiy
