DIR. Swallow, the Prohibition candi-

making a surprising canvass and his
vote promises TO be large. The Swal-
low movement, the Philadelphia Even

hooks in on the thoughts and con-
science of the plain people all over the
State, and it is daily making inroads
among Republicans who are thinking
that if Swallow may be crank. the
crankism which is on the side of hon
est government may be worth expert
menting with in preference to Quayism.

The following extract from an AS
sociated Press dispatch from Havana
tells a sad and significant story:
Many planters and merchants who
recently returned here anticipating an
early resumption of business are going
abroad again to wait until affairs are
settled in Cuba, as they do not care to
embark in business venturers or risk a
cent in the present unsatisfactory and
indefinite condition of political affairs.
In the meantime the country daily
grows poorer. The sugar and tobacco
crops are unsown.

The president of the American evac-
uation commission at Havana sends
word to Washington that six thousand
Spanish soldiers have already left Cuba
and that forty thousand are to take
their departure in the near future
Thus the work is going slowly and the
decision of the President that SPAN
must officially get out by December
stands good. If the evacuation is not
completed on that day the Americans
will proceed to take charge, directing
that the Spanish troops be gathered at
certain designated points ready for de-
parture. If there is any attempt to in
terfere with that programme the Amer
ican troops may have some work to do.

GREATEST RAILROAD STATION IN THE
WORLD. When the Southern Union
Railway Station of Boston is compile
ted it will be the largest building of
the kind in the world. Ground was
first broken ON January -, 1897, and
now the major portion of the work on
the building is completed, with much
grading yet to be done. The main
structure is of stone, and of an impos-
ing appearance. The train shed will
accommodate nearly 30 tracks that will
come to dead ends as is the case with
the Broad Street Station in Philadel-
phla. But one of the greatest features
In railway passenger stations is the ar
rangement to accommodate suburban
trains in the cellar of the new struct
ure. These suburban trains will run
in and out on a loop, and thus save the
shifting of trains and the backing
out, as is the case where dead ends to
tracks are used. The ground area of
the suburban cellar is about three
hundred feet in diameter, which gives
some notion of the size of the building.

The Episcopal Bishops could not
agree on an amendment of the canon
of the Church to prohibit the remar-
rlage of divorced persons. A majority
of the Bishops, however, are in favor
of uniform divorce laws throughout
the United States. While such re-
form would be of conceded propriety,
and is stoutly advocated, there is no
more probability of agreement upon
the subject in State legislatures than
in the Church legislatures. Indeed,
the pretensiOn of the question of uni
form divorce has operated as bar to
progress in the effort to procure uni
formity of State legislation in matters
of undisputed propriety and advantage
