THE GENERAL SITUATION.
Mayor Sweeney and labor leaders
were seen yesterday concerning the
prospects for a resumption of nego-
tiations, but nothing of a definite ma
ture could be obtained from anyone in
authority, although there were rumors
galore. The Mayor said late last night
ton as to future developments to-day,
but at present had nothing for publ
cation. He was asked if he knew defl-
nitely whether or not the Board of
Directors of the Company would meet
here Saturday, but replied that it was
uncertain, as yet. Mr.. Salisbury, OF
the Trades Assembly, was equally un-
certain as to what might take place,
but thought there could not possibly
be anything definite before the last of
the week, if then. Representatives OF
the company are very uncommunica-
tive. Mr.. Reeves, of the International
organization of street car workers, re-
turned to bis home in Pittsburg yes
terday AS he was about to embark
on the train a rumor was reported to
him that President Conderman, of the
Wheeling Railway Company, was in
the city, but brief investigation
showed this to be false, and Mr.. Reeves
went home. He will return to Wheel
ing whenever he is wanted.
IMMENSE WAGON TRAFFIC.
The. presence of the curcus in the
city yesterday gave an immense i'm
petus to wagon traffic, and very large
number of people were carried, both
from remote quarters Of the city and
from neighboring towns. The yacht
ferries over the river also carried an
immense number Of people, particu-
larly the upper ferry, which had two
boats running as fast as they could
travel On many trips they had fifty
passengers on one boat, and must have
handled two or three thousand people
during the day. There were few
passengers in the street cars going to
the Island during the day, seven be-
ing seen in one car by Register re-
porter, but the aggregate number car
ried was very small. The cars ran
regularly, however, and no trouble
of any sort occurred.
