FEELING OYER THE BOER VAR.
Opinion of u Distinguished Member of
 United States Cabinet.

London, Nov 25. - Sir Thomas Weymss Reid, the author and editor, in an article entitled "A Message from the Nineteenth Century and After will quote "one of the most distinguished members of the cabinet" as saying:
 T do not think you in England real ize the depth of feeling that exists out side of your own country on the sub ject of the South African war, nor the extreme gravity of the situation which that feeling has brought into ex- istence. I am not speaking of Amer ican feeling, which is largely on your side, but the more friendly we are to England the more anxious we are to see you extricated from the meshes of the net in which you are now caught. It is terrible to think of the pitifulness of the whole thing and of the loss suf- fered by universal humanity owing to the effacement of England for two years and consequent absence of her influence from. the side of right and justice"
 Sir Thomas further says the member of the cabinet in question told him that almost daily appeals were being made to the government of the Unied States by representa- tives of European powers to take some step to end the war. These representations from the ministers of the powers were made unoficially, al- though the United States government well knew their respective govern ments were backing them therein.

Demonstrates Its Ability to RoII-A
 Trip in u storm.

Ogdensburg, N. Y, Nov 25.-Knapp's s roller boat demonstrated its ability to roll to-day. In blnding snow storm, with a stiff north wind, it rolled from Prescott across the St. Lawrence river to Ogdensburg, but missed the channel to the upper harbor and rolled into the soft mud on the bar abreast the city and settled hard, surrounded by snow and ice. A steamer following the roller was unable to get near her owing to shallow water Efforts to tow the boat by long hawsers into deep water were unsuccessful and she may not be re- leased until spring. The inventor and a stockholder, who were on board, were taken off In small boats. The inventor declares the boat success.
 The boat is 110 feet long and twenty two feet diameter. An engine Is sus- pended in a car in the center. The mo- tive power is applied in the form of a climbing engine. MT.

LOVER TAX RATE PROBABLE.
Board of Finance Nearly Through
 Pairing Down Esttmates.4

Pairing Down Esttmates.I
 The board of finance last night nearly finished the work of cutting down the estimates of the various departments of the city government for next year, and expects to fully complete the work to- night so that the list of estimates will go to the printer o-morrow to be put into shape to present to the board of aldermen at its meeting next Monday night, as provided by charter.
 Although no information was given out last night concerning the work of the board thus far in cutting estimates, yet 1t may be assumed that there will be, when the work Is completed to- night, a considerable cut. The esti- mated income for next year will be about $200,000 less than the estimated income for last year, but despite this fact there is every probability, and 1t is practically assured, that the tax rate will be no higher next year than this year. while it is probable that the rate will be 13 mills instead of 1872 mills, the rate for this year. There is even some talk to the effect that the rate will be lower than 13 mills, and 12A mills has been mentioned as a possible rate. In the event of any one of these three rates being decided on, there must be a very large cut in the estimates submitted by the departments.
 Since Thursday, the regular day for the finance boards meeting, will be a will hoI Itu if c meeting tonight sign the payrolls and bills and not meet tomorrow night. if the consideration of the estimates is finished tonight, as it is now expected that 1t will be.
 The board of finance has this year acted with more dispatch than usual in cutting the estimates, and general de- sire for economy in the expenses of the city administration has evidently actu- ated its labors on the estimates.

.DR. GREER DECLINES.
VIII Not ccept Election to New Massa'
 chusetts Diocese.


 New York, Nov. 25.-Rev. Dr. David H. Greer, of this city, recently elected bishop of the new diocese of western Massa chusetts, issued a statement this evening in which he refuses to accept the honor.
 The letter follows:
 St. Bartholomew's Rectory, 342 Madi-
 son avenue,
 New York Nov 25, 1901 "The Rev. John c. Brooks, the Rev. Alexander H. Vinton and others. Gen. tlemen: It is impossible for me to tell YOU how deeply I feel and appreciate the honor which has been conferred up- on me by the new diocese of western Massachusetts in selecting me for it's bishop, I should certainly be more than human, or less, not to be greatly moved by the unusual and impressive manner of my selection; and it is only after an earnest, and l hope conscien- tious consideration of the whole subject that I find my conviction unchanged. cannot feel it my duty to go to Massa- chusetts and therefore must decline the great honor which you have paid me. "It has not been an easy thing to reach this decision, but now that have reached it and my mind is clear which way my duty lies it is my fur ther duty to inform you of it at once, and in doing so let me express the hope that whatever you may think of the wisdom of my course you will at least believe I have tried to do, and have done, what seemed to me to be right. Again thanking you most sincerely for such a manifestation of your confi- dence and regard, believe me always,
 ''Faithfully yours,
 rSiened1 David H. Geer."

ANOTHER RAILROAD STRIKE
PITTSBURG SWITCHMEN VOTE TO
 GOO OUT TO-DAY.
Seven Roads VIII bo Affected-Men De- Order-Appltcation Made by PennsyI- vania Road to the Police for sixty Officers to Protect Property One Hum Fdred Pinkerton Men on Duty in the E. and o. Yards.


 Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 25.-The switch men on seven railroads of Pittsburg have decided to strike at 6 o'clock to- morrow morning. At meeting or the Brotherhood of Switchmen tonight which was attended by about 600 mem bers, this action was decided upon and the result of this movement can only be conjectured. In anticipation or possible trouble 1t is learned that the Pennsylvania railroad has made appll- cation to the city police department for sixty officers to be on hand in the Union depot yards at o'clock tomorrow morning and :n the Baltimore and Ohio yards fully one hundred Plnker- tons are on duty tonight.
 The assertion made at the switch mems meeting tonight was that 700 to 1000 men would obey the strike order in the morning. The estimate was that in the Union depot yards of the Penn sylvania railroad 13S men would go out: that at the yards at Pitcairn and Wall, men would go out in the same proportion; that the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pittsburg and Lake Ere yard men would go out solidly and that the Monongahela, the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston. the Schoen- berger terminal and the Pittsburg and Western would be practically without men. It is declared also that the Fort Wayne and Panhandle men would lend a helping hand.
 The demand of the men is that the Chicago rate be paid here. This rate is 27 cents an hour for day conductors and 29 cents for night conductors of switch engines; helps 25 cents day and 2l cents night. The Pittsburg rate at present is 25 cents for day and 26 cents for night conductors 10 cents day and 20 cents night for helpers.
 Grand Master Frank T. HaWley of the Switchmen's union is expected here tomorrow to conduct the strike.
 In the present congested condition of the railroads the strike, if it is carried out, will be disastrous in the extreme to the companies involved

WHEN S1 USAGE IS SA USAGE.
A Decision by New York Board of Ap-

New York, Nov. 25.-The general board of appraisers has decided when sausage is not sausage, and the distinc- ton is set forth in an opinion written by General Appraiser Fischer in the case of a firm which protested against the decision of the collector of customs at Honolulu, Hawaii. Sausage is only sausage when it is enclosed in casing. When packed in cans it is prepared meat, and instead of enjoying free en- try it must pay duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem The fact that the goods in question were labelled "Leberwurst" did not deter the general appraiser from setting it down as prepared meat and imposing 25 per cent duty.
