RAILROAD STRIKE
 WILL NOT OCCUR
Agreement Looking To Settle
 ment Has Been Reached
ARBITRATION IN THE END
Railroads Bind Themselves To Finally Submit Differences With Employees To Arbitration If They Cannot
 Be Settled Otherwise.

London, November 6.--The anticipat- ed railroad strike throughout Great Britain, the idea CT which caused so much concern to the British public has been averted by an agreement drafted by David Lloyd George. president of the board of trade, and signed late this evening by the chairman of the prin- cipal railroads of the Amalgamated So- ciety of Railway Servants
 The agreement provides for the con- sideration of further matters in dispute primarily by a board of conciliation representing the higher grades of em- ployes and the individual railroads In case of disagreement an understanding will be reached by tho board of concil- iation and an equal number of men representing full membership of the society. If these representatives fail to reach d decision the matter then must be settled by arbitration.
 The directors of the railroads thus bind themselves to compulsory outside intervention in disputes with employees. The board will in every case be com posed of elected employees of the com panies concerned and officials of the railroads This dispute, apart from it's effect on public business, has attracted attention from high officials, even from King Edward.

PLANS MADE FOR
 REMEDIAL LAWS Republicans Want To Help Out
 the Railroads PRESENT LAWS TOO STRICT Pooling of Rates In Certain Cases Is Believed By Certain Senators To Be Permissible, Hence the
 Present Project.
PRESENT LAWS TOO STRICT

Washington, November 6.-(Special.)-
 Several leading republican senators are forming definite plans for the enactment
 during the forthcoming session of con- gress of Legislation to mitigate the restrie-
 tions placed on the pooling of railroad
 rates so as to include within the scope of
 legitimate pooling that class heretofore
 discussed in Congress as the reasonable agreement
 A western senator who has talked with President Roosevelt on the subject, said today that the coming message to Con- gress would include d recommendation for legislation legalizing the reasonable
 agreement of freight and passenger rates among competing railroads. And he add cd he believed there was strong prospect that the recommendation would be favor
 ably acted upon.
 In fact plans are already on foot
 toward the framing of the intended leg slation. Those who are assuming its charge are passing the provision of the
 proposed bill upon the decision rendered in the Northern Securities case by As
 sociate Justice Brewer of the United
 States supreme court, who. while he vot-
 tu Nllll lilt iildJoIily ol ANt Jootie'' iii
 decreeing that the merger involved was
 illegal, laid stress upon the contention
 that the item of reasonable agreement
 should receive more specific attention at
 the hands of Congress. and that such
 pools were. in his opinion, not at all at
 variance with the spirit and intent of
 the Sherman interstate commerce law, on
 the violation of which the Northern Se- curities suit was based. The intended legislation, therefore. will probably be IT
 the nature of an amendment to the Sher- man law.
 The purpose of the forthcoming bill will be to place within the power of the inter state commerce commission the matter of
 determining whether pools shall be reas- enable or unreasonable, the agreements
 between railroads agree upon rates to be offered for the approval of the commis- sion before scheduled for the purpose. The Foraker bill having this point in view, has been pending in the Senate for sev-
 eral sessions, but it has not been until the past few weeks that sentiment on the subject has crystalzed Senator Long Of
 Kansas, who has talked with the Presi-
 dent about the matter, believes that Con-
 gress will assuredly do something this session. W. $.

Fusion Forces Are Put To ROut
 h New York
HEARST IS ELIMINATED
Opinion of Tammany Leader Murphy and Timothy Woodruff Is That MT. Hearst Is No Longer
 Political Factor.

New York. November GA clear Tam many victory. which elected every demo- cratic candidate for the supreme court, judges of the court of general sessions and of the city court nine of the b new municipal court judges, the sheriff and eight additional aldermen, was the re- suit of yesterdays election in this city The fusion forces In the borough of Man haitian. consisting of republicans and ln- dependence league men, were able to hold their own on assemblymen in New York county, but the republicans lose one mom- Der of the general assembly in the city.
 In the Board of Aldermen there will be majority Of 24.
 The most sweeping Tammany victory was in the election of Thomas F. Foley for sheriff over NJ. F. Ihmsen, the fusion nominee, by a plurality of N1H MT. Ihmsen has for years been campaign manager for William R. Hearst. The strength of the Independence league m Greater New York was indicated only on the vote for Reuben Lyon, independence league candidate for the court of appeals. Lyons vote was S7 G66.
 In Brooklyn, however, the democratic forces led by State Senator Patrick Me Carren, suffered a severe setback, the re- publitans eleeting their entire county ticket except the district attorney and surrogate. The fusion of republicans and Independence league did not extend to that borough.
 The secondary results of yesterdays g elections. particularly as they may affect the political fortunes of party leaders, were thrashed out at many political meet ing places tonight. rammany leader Charles r. Murphy secs in the defeat of the republican and Independence league fusion i14 New York county the retire. ment of William R. Hearst as factor in local politics Republican State Char man Timothy l.. Woodruff also believes that MT. Hearst has been 'everlastingly eliminated" as a political consideration, and that the Independence league vote will now go to the republicans.
 MT Woodruff bases his predictions on the result in Kings county, where the ln- dependence league vote was lost sight or in the republican victory over the dem ocrats. On the other hand, the league vote did not go great way in helping the republicans in Manhattan where tho fusion ticket was beaten by the straig llt TammanS candidates.
 In 1905 New York county gave Hearst, running on straight independence league ticket for mayor, 12S&2 votes. against 1i0 263 for Mayor Mcclellan, deu- ocrat. The republican vote for William NJ Evans was 6f g24 Yesterday the com bined republican and Independence league vote in New York county was only about 1300o If the republican claim to having boiled the greater part of this vote IS justified the Independence league has lost heavily.
 Chairman Parsons of the republican county committee, who brought about the fusion. however stands by his guns, and tonight said that he would agan favor fusion with the league under the circumstances that govern the present contest He denied that he would resign the craftsmanship under fire

Good Government Wins.

San Francisco. November 6.--Gom- plete returns from III precincts total ing 31,640 votes, or 57 per cent of the estimated total vote cast, give Taylor 15,96S; Mccarthy. 10,261; Ryan, ,453; Langdon, 9.62I; McGowan, 12.560.
 This gives an incomplete plurality for Taylor over Mccarthy of 5701 votes and Langdon over McGowan of 7061 votes.
 Complete returns from Ill precincts give Mulchevy the union labor candi- date for county clerk. lead of 2000 over his good government league oppo- nent. McCabe
 Partial returns from 1s9 precincts indicate the election of Mulchevy for county clerk; Horton. auditor; McDou- gal, treasurer, and Watson recorder All the men are labor union candidates and they are the only ones not on the good government league ticket who were elected.
 There is little doubt that the board of IS supervisors as been elected on the good government ticket.

OUTCOME IN KENTUCKY.
Taylor and Powers Will Probably Re-
 ceive Pardons.

Washington, November G.tSpecial.)- The most interesting feature in connec- ton with the result of the election in Kentucky is that W. $. Taylor, who since the killing of Goebel has been a fugitive from justice in Indiana, Wa in all probability come back to Kentucky and stand trial. Taylor has claimed that he would not return 10 Kentucky owing to his inability to get fair trial
 Governor-elect Wilson frequently an- nounced on the stump during the cam paign that If he were to be elected Fay Tor would come back to Kentucky. II is therefore taken for granted that this will occur and sensational trial will ensue.
 The evidence is very strong against Taylor and other republicans who have been charged with the assassination and the most that can be expected Is hung jury. The upshot of the natter finally will probably be that Governor-elect Will son will pardon both Taylor and Powers.

GOLD SHIPMENTS ARRIVE
Directors of Lincoln Trust Company Hold Meeting and Announce Plans. Oakleigh Thorne Makes State
 ment for His Company.

New York, November 6.--The local concftions of the financial world were favorable today. The runs on the trust companies had practically ceased under the encouraging influence of the sup port of the trust company committee; i; gold engagements were further in- creased and the stock market rose buoyantly under these conditions. The announcement by MT. King, president of the Union Trust company, early in the morning that an agreement had at last been reached by which the Trust Company of America and the Lincoln Trust company were to deposit their stock in the hands of a committee of trust company presidents and in con- sideration of this were to receive all the support required, finally cleared the air in regard to the trust company sit uation.
 Grave apprehension existed as to the termination of the conference at Mr. Morgan's house at 8 o'clock this morn ing that an agreement in regard to the two trust companies would not be reached and that they might be sub jected to a run too strong for their impaired resources. Now that this dan ger is removed it is believed that the situation will gradually simmer down with the continuous arrival of gold un- til the stringency is converted into the plethora of reserve money in banks wh ich usually follows a crisis.

More Gold Engaged.

Additional gold engagements were announced today of $1,000.000 on &C., count of Lazard Frere and $500. 900 for Montreal. This brings up the total gold enga gements for America on the recent movement to $3750G000. which would afford the amount required for legal reserve against deposits of $50.- 100000 The gold which arrived yes- terday was deposited today and that by the Lusitania will soon be in the vaults of tho banks.
 While there is still some apprehen- sion regarding the possible effort of the Bank of England to oh eek the outflow of gold from London by raising it's dis count rate on Thursday, there is a strong feeling among conservative financiers here that the directors of the Bank of England will very reluctantly fix rate of discount which has not been touched since 1873. It might have been found necessary to overcome this reluctance if the Bank of France had not so generously dipped into its im- mense reserves under the enlightened policy of Governor Pallain, by the pur- chase of sterling bills to the amount of f3 900 ,000 to relieve the London market.

Directors Hold Meeting.

The directors of the Lincoln Trust company held protracted session to- night to consider the future policies of the company. and to make plans to ob- tain new business. Frank Tilfort. presi- dent of the company, said after the meeting that q statement concerning the company's affairs was in preparation and would be made public tomorrow.
 Clark Williams, state superintendent of banks, announced tonight that because of the now satisfactory condition of the Trust Company of America and the Lin coin Trust company. he had withdrawn the officers of the state banking depart ment from those institutions. He said that he felt convinced that the situation was now in satisfactory shape and that no weak spots remain undisclosed.
 J. Pierpont Morgan was visited by sev- eral prominent financiers tonight, put as far as could be learned this was no for mal conference.

Stock Market Strong.

The strength of the stock market was the reflex of improved feeling through out the financial community. It is be- lieved that the stock market has pretty well discounted the worst and that prices are not likely to go much lower. even in case of new disturbances. It is un- derstood the arrangement by which the committee of the trust company presi- dents takes control of the majority stock of the Trust Company of America and the Lincoln Trust company is only q temporary device to re-establish confi- dence. What will be the ultimate dis position of this stock has not yet been seriously considered, but it is certain that the trust company committee and the clearing house committee will insist that these companies pursue in future a policy of the strictest conservatism and shall not embark in any underwrit- ings which are not capable of being converted readily into cash.
