 ST. LoUIe, Mo-. Nov. 22-At @ mass
 meeting ID the city tall tonisbt, resolu-
 tloDs were adopted declaring it to be the
 sense of the meeting that congress
 should grant the Cuban insurgents bel
 hgerent rights. Attention is called to
 the fact that the outrsges ID Cuba are equal if not greater than those in Ar
 menis, and should be stopped by the American people.
 NEW YORK, Nov. PA special to the Herald from Washington ssys: Ap- preciatiDg that the return of General Weylsr from the present cam paign wi.h. out making any headwsy against Ma ceo's forces will greatly aggrsvste the already critical situation ID Cuba, of.
 ncisls and diplomats in Washington have been earnestly discussing for some days plans for relieving tfe situs- ation. The plan of Spanish Cuba sr-
 mistice has been widely discussed. If the conditions will admit this, there is every reason to believe that the admin istrstion will exercise its good offices to bring about an armistice in the event that affairs become more critical be. cause of an unsuccessful campaign against Msceo. It is understood that one form of peaceful intervention which OoDsui-General Lee has proposed to toe
 authorities here contemplstes the use of the good offices of the United States
 to bring about modos viveudi for a
 sufficient time to enable negotiations to
 6e conducted for securing the iudepepo-
 ence of Cuba by purchase, the United
 States guaranteeing the payment of the
 debt. General Lee has not advised the
 immediate adoption of thls plan, believ.
 ing there would have to be a change in
 the situation before 1t could be put into
 practical effect.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 22-The Railway Age,
 ID it's issue of this week. will publish 8
 aummsry of reports received from some
 POO railway companies aud man ufsctur-
 ing companies in ell parts of the coun-
 try regarding the effect on business up
 to date of McKinley's election. The con-
 clueions drawn from these reports are ss
 follows:
 First-Has the railway business pick. cd up at ali? We are compelled to sI. swsr: "No, it has not" ID parts of the
 west and south west it has even been dis
 tipctly worse since election than it was
 before. Tbere has not even been an in- crease in the local passenger travel.
 Here and there are isolated cases of in. creased activity, but looking at the country as @ whole, there hss been DO improvement yet in either travel or traf- 6c. This fact is established beyond question by the reports received.
 Seoond-Although there has as yet been DO improvement ID traffic, the rail road com papies have, as a whole. very materially increased their expenditures, especially in two wGys. ss will bs seen clearly from ths abstracts of reports, which ,,o published below. There have Seen many increases of shop forces and a very general tendency to purchase more freely. This last fact is shown more conclusively by the reports of the man ufacturers than the reports of the companies themselves.
 Third-Still more important than the above is the number of companies which report that they had all the plans made Tor @ reduction in force in case the elec> ton had gone the other way These re- porte emphssizs very strongly the gray. ity of the danger from which the sountry has been ssved. The railway companies have, duriog the hard timee, been keeping up their forces and ex- penses at point in excess of what ex- istipg business would justify, ID the hope of return of prosperity, and they are now in Q position to meet any increase of demands that may be made upon l them without further expenditures.
 Fourth-Ths expectation of a revival in the near future is almost universsl. | There is curious unapimity in the ex- pression of belief that this revival will l January. There is also, most cheering | ,f all, an evident belief ID all directions l hat this revival will be permanent. that | s to say, that it will last several years at | east.
 In conclusion, we would say the evil fences of 8n actual increase Ill bueinees | .oday ere more marked than we expect I'd to find. The improvement 90 far is argely one of sentiment. Railways are ,akiLg sdvaut taRe of existing low prices o place orders for goods and many bet which they hope that an inc .ressed demsnd will soon justify. Man. acturers are sim ilarly increasing out- ,uts 90 as to be ready to furnish stock vhe needed. All this implies an actual eturn of confidence. With the evidence # that confidence, so that money will ,e available for new enterprises and for expansions of existing business, the CIT le of improvement will widen, and as 1t sidene, 60 the numb Der of men who are sruinR wages and have wages to spend 70 on increasing, those who have dared O move in advance of the times will cap the reward of their courage.
