House of Commons ENpresses Confidence
 In the Government's Naval Policy.

LONDON, Dec 2O. The great Liberal leader, the Right Hon. William F.. Glad stone, prime minister of England, won an other parliamentary victory after fighting at the head of his followers in a most gal lant manner.
 What was practically vote uf ccnsure was moved by Lord George Hamilton in connection with the alleged weakness of the British navy aS compared with the combined navicS of Russia aud France.
 After an exciting debate the motion was rejected, and Mr. Gladstone's amendment, to the effect that the house had confidence that the government would pay adequate attention To the navy. was adopted without q division, causing much enthusiasm in the Liberal ranks.
 Mir. Giad~tone's foll1,-er.s hope and be lieve that this victory in the house of com mons will be followed by another victory at AccringtOn this week, where the Lib eral candidate for that seat has raised the banner of rebuke to the lords for the re- jection of the home rule bill, and if the Liberals secure n greatly increased ma jor- ity it is thought that Mir. Gladstone may determine to dissolve parliament.

LONG STRIKE ENDED.

The Rhode Island wooIen Mills start Aft
 CT Months of IdIeaesS-
 PROVIDENCE, Dec. 2O.-The long strike in the wooden mill district has been brought to an end. Not only the Olneyville strike, but the difficulty at the British hosiery. the Thornton and at Farwel's Central Falls mills have been satisfactorily settled This leaves but one mill in Providence where any trouble now prevails, that being the Geneva, and this trouble will be ad- Justed today.
 The Olneyville wcolen mill strike has been the longest and most bitterly fought that has ever taken place in the state. It was inaugurated early in October, when the mill owners reduced salaries. More than dozen times q settlement was ex- pected, but each time it failed, and tha strike went on. The Saxony mill oper- atives were the first to accept schedules.
 Then Messrs. Fletcher and Farwell of the Providence National and Saranac pre- scented revised schedules, which were nc cepted by the operatives, but the two mill owners would not start until the owners of the WeyboSset and Riverside mills agreed to a schedule similar to that which they had submitted. The Weybosset mills on Monday agreed to adopt the Fletcher a Id Farwell sche iule, and they added to their concessions Ey agreeing that scab help Wnlcn hau been recently eONlIOycI snoutu not be given preference over strikers. This left only the River silie mill as the stum- bling block
 The executive committee waited on Treas urer King of the Riverside, and 1000 peo- pie waited in Olneyville square to hear the result.
 When the committee announced that Mir. King had come to terms and agreed to adopt the Fletcher schedule, the operatives went wild with joy. The executive com mittee received a communication from the mill owners last evening announcing that they had agreed to pay on Saturday what is earned by the operatives this week, and everything is in readiness to resume opera tions today It is estimated that the strike has cost the help S3oO, GOO and the business men of the district S}oO, 900 more.

THOUSANDS WANTED WORK.
Pittsburg's Unemployed Set to Work In the
 Parks nt 10 Cents an Honr

PIrrspCRG, Dec. 20.-Between 500 and 2,OOO unemployed men called at the city hall and applied for work in the parks at 10 cents an hour. It was an orderly crowd, but all were anxious to secure employ ment. The surging crowd broke down the storm doors leading into the department of public works. Chief Clerk Ben jamin made a speech telling them there would be no orders for work given there but at the sta tion houses, but the men did not seem to understand him.
 The police were then called, but Super intendent O'Mara would not allow force to be used, and the officers were powerless. The men were finally convinced that they could get work at the station houses, and they quietly left. Over 900 are at work in the parks, and all worthy applicants will be furnished employment. The crowd was made up almost entirely of native Amer jeans. Subscriptions for the payment of the men are coming in freely, and it is thought the funds will be ample to keep them all employed until the times improve and the mills and factories resume.

HOPKINS ELECTED.
Chicago Republicans to Contest the Vote
 For Mayor.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2o-John P Hopkins. the Democratic candidate for mayor, was elected over George B. Swift, his Repub- licau rival, by majority Of l,SS1. The total vote was: Hopkins, Democrat, 112,- 7OO; Swift, Republican, ul,3l3; Britzins, Socialist-Labor, 1,5l7; Wakely, Peoples Silver; 36T; total, 225, S95. The vote, which was one of the largest ever boiled in the city, was a decided Republican gain.
 The Democracy carried the city by 5000 in the last presidential election, and in the county election last month several of the Democratic candidates had majorities of 1000 in the city, which were only overcome by the Republican vote in the county.
 The Republican city central committee has decided to contest the election of Hop kins. It is claimed that the police returns, on which the above figures are based, show coo more for Hopkins than were actually cast. It is claimed by the committee that an honest official count will give tho cleo tion to Swift.
