More Switchmen at Work.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 3.-There was a
continued improvement in the switchmans
strike situation to-day. More crews were
at work and the different terminals showed
that little congestion exists. The Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen have secured
several experienced men to take the places
of the strikers, and the result is that traf-
fic is being moved in a much quicker time
than any day since the strike inaugu-
rated.
Several more of the switchmen on the
Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad, in McKees-
port, came out, but trains are moving
along just as Usual. The mills in McKees-
port are badly crippled, however, on ac-
count OF the scarcity of men at work in
the yards. Only a few men are at work on
the McKeesport Connecting Railroad.
which connects all the manufacturing
plants in that city.

FURRY IN COTTON.
Price Jumped 81 a Bale in Many
Minutes and Then slumped.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Trading on the
local Cotton Exchange to-day was con-
vulsed by the publication at noon of a gov
eminent estimate of short cotton crop for
the year. The figures were 9.674,OO0 bales,
or nearly 100000 bales less than the trade
generally expected. Cotton jumped 81 a
bale in as many minutes amid scenes of
excitement rarely seen. Brokers fought
with each other to cover short contracts
and the pit became a pandemonium for
several minutes after the report was re-
ceived. For three hours thereafter the vol
ume of business transacted was enormous.
After the first sharp advance of nearly
forty points a slump developed, which car
ried prices nearly half way back to the QUO
tations prevailing before the figures were
made known. Before the close, however,
the loss was regained and prices were at
their highest.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
Remarkable Success of Republicans
in Massachusetts Cities.

BOSTON, Dec. 3.-Snow and rain made
disagreeable weather in fourteen of the
thirty-three cities Of Massachusetts, that
held municipal elections to-day. OF four
teen cities eleven went for license, a gain
of one over last year, the change being in
Fitchburg. The great feature of the cleo
lions as a whole was the remarkable sue
cess of the Republican party, ten mayoral-
ty candidates of that party winning and
carrying with them in nearly every instance
a city council in sympathy with them. The
party results were as follows: Marlboro,
Republican; Northampton, Republican;
Fall River, Republican, Taunton, Repub-
lican; Fitchburg, Independent; Gloucester.
Independent Republican; Lawrence, Demo
than, Republican; Haverhlll, Republican;

Nut sanaares.

Vegetarlans have been attending
the annual congress of their Federal
Union at the Memorial Hall, Earring
don street, London, and hoping fer
vently for the reclamation of the car
nivorous millions outside. In accord
Rnce with the custom at these annual
gatherings, there was an exhibition
OF preparations from which every YES
tige Of the hateful meat was rigorous
ly excluded.
A hardened unbeliever who visited
the exhibition was a little astonshed
to discover at one of the stalls a plate
Of what looked like outlets. 1t was
reassuring, however, to learn that they
were absolutely innocent of meat and
that, like the rissoles on another dish,
they might be eaten without blush
by the truest disciple of the turnip,
Nut foods, moulded to counterfeit
the shameless sausage; countless eX-
tracts and preparations warranted to
impart more bone, brain, blood and
muscle than an entire herd Of prize
cattle, and innumerable tabloids, pow
ders, syrups, desiccated foods, breads,
oils, biscuits and soups, all suggestive
ly named and attractively put up, were
on show for the delectation Of the
faithful and the conversion OF those
who wander in the darkness Of unbe-

One day this week American horses
and jockeys took seven places in the

Lord George Hamilton, the British
Secretary Of State for India. has ex-
planned in parliament that the Indian
government is compelled to buy Amer
lean locomotives and bridges because
it can get better goods at lower prices
and in quicker tie than from English
manufacturers. Mr.. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan is buying up the British mercan-
tile marine. American actresses have
just scored a new hit in London. Mr.
Carnegie is handing out Sl0,O00,0O0
worth of education TO Scotch students
Wall street supports the gold reserve
of the Bank Of England and helps out
the British government when it wants
TO issue a new loan. The English
magazines are full of gloomy musings
upon the decadence of the empire and
the transfer of industrial commercial
and political power to the western side
Of the Atlantic. Perhaps when they
have pondered upon the subject a lit
tie longer Englishmen may turn to the
remedy for their ills, which Mr.. Car
negie recommended to them a good
many years ago, and apply for admis-
sion to the United States. They would
be spared a good many troubles in
such an event. If Ireland were a state
there would be no more Home Rule
disputes. If British Columbia were a
state there would be no Alaskan boun-
dary controversy. If Wales were
state her tin plate manufacturers
would have a look in at the American
market. If England were state her
merchant marine would get the bene-
fit Of the American navigation laws
and there would be no more talk about
conscription to defent the country
against invasion.
There are indications that reunion
Of the English-speaking peoples, with
headquarters at Washington, is not an
unwelcome idea to some statesmen of
Greater Britain. Mr.. Barton, for in
