London, Dee. -23.-There is as vet no

very general. So far as London is
concerned, the tube railways are the
only concerns benefiting and their

Traffic Paralyzed
Railway traffic both for long and
snort distances, is almost paralyzed. A
condition resembling chaos prevails in
the postal service. With the cOntin-
ued accumulation Of Christmas par
cells and letter traffic it is quite i'm
possible to preserve even a sembIance
OF punctuality. All railway trains are
many hours late, and many trains be-
tween London and suburbs occupv a
couple of hours in making a distance
OF eight miles. Mail boats I'm all d.

TiIIman Quiet; Crum will Win.

Washington, December 5.-Wm. d.
Crnm, a negro, will soon be receiving his
salary rs collector of customs at Charles
ton. Senator rillman has decided not to
make determined fight against his
confirmation and it will be easily secured
in tho absence of opposition. Senator
Tillman said to-day that if tho Republi-
can majority wants to assume tho re-
sponsibility for placing a negro like
Crum in such an office in city like
Charleston, the selection being known as
obnoxious to it's citizons and Taxpayers,
he would moroly impress his disapproval
and let the responsibility lay where it
blongs. Senator Tillman says he will
make a speech against confirmation, but
will not resort to other methods en-
ployed by those seeking to prevent con-
iirmation. Dr.. Crum has been appointed
collector at tho beginning Of each session
of tho Senate during tho past three years.
The committee on commerce once re-
fused to favorably report his nomination,
but subsequently reversed that conclu-
sion and made a favorable report. Crum
has been compelled to serve without pay,
pending action by the Senate.
