REPtfDiATEU AGREEMENT.

The striking express drivers and
helpers OF Jersey City nuiifed yester-
day afternoon the agreement reached
early yesterday morning between the
New York strikers and the five trans
continental express companies. That
agreement WAS conditioned on the
consent Of the Jerseymen to return to
work, and they hav, refused.
The situation noI reverts TO precisely
the position it occupied before Mayor
Gaynor took hand in the negotiations
with this exception, that the mayor
is angry and resolved to tcmpor'ze no
longer Some OF the New Yer; drivt r
and helpers who believed the Jersey
men would also ratify the agreement
were on their wagons yc ;terta:, bat
if tho International brotherhood OF
Transfers makes good its word, they
will all be called out again. The
chauffeurs are fighting their own
battle. and it promises to be a bitter
one. Five hundred cab drivers went
out to aid them yesterday, and they
all VOW that they will never go back
until the union is recognized.
When the decision OF the Jerseymen
became known to the brotherhood Of
6cials in New York, General Organizer
Ashton called on Mayor Gaynor. At
the end of the conference, which was
brief, Mr.. Ashton had nothing to say.
but Mayor Gaynor expressed himself
succinctly.
They can reject the agreement il
they want to-" he said, but J beg to
say that a committee OF their Own Sc
lection came to me voluntarily, with no
request OF nine, and made al honor
able agreement. If the men reject
that honorable agreement, I shall teach
them that express wagons can be nun
without their help, even il We have to
man every one of them with po-
licemen."
Judge Coke, in the United States Cir
cult Court, decided that all express wag.
ons may be run in New York under
the conditions that have hitherto OBJ
tained-that is, without municipal
iicenses-until the status Of driver in
charge Of inter. state express matter
with reference to municipal ordinance
has been fixed.

STRIKE UNSETTLED.
New jersey Drivers Refuse Terms
About to be Accepted In New York.
Mayor CaynOr's Ultimatum.


New York, Nov. 12.-New York is
facing either a final settlement OF its
express drivers strike or else fight TO
finish, with the city on the side of
the express companies.
The test will come this afternoon
when an effort will be made to induce
the New Jersey strikers to accept the
peace terms that have already been
tentatively agreed to by the strikers in
New York. These terms late yesterday
we're rejected by the New Jersey men,
who declare they would accept no settle
ment that did not provide for the
closed shop" A committee was at
once appointed, consisting OF eight OF
the oldest men, to draw up new terms
OF settlement, but this committee, after
having been in session until after mid
night, decided instead TO recommend to
the meeting OF the New Jersey strikers
this afternoon that they accept the
original terms ofthe express companies.
With the announcement that the
New Jersey strikers had refused the
peace terms that he had been at so
much trouble to secure, Mayor Gaynor
at once laid down an ultimatum to the
strikers. The proposed settlement, he
declared, was perfectly honorable to the
strikers, and if they refused to abide by
it, the entire police force OF the city
would be used in helping the express
companies to win the strike.
New Xork, Nov. 12.-The strike OF
the Long Island Express Company, OF
Brooklyn, Long Island city and other
Long Island towns, was settled today
and the men will return to work Mon
day. The company agreed that there
should be no discrimination against the
meu who had gone out.

THE LIBERALS IN CONTROL.
Party Backed by American Eold-Cou-
ditions Mean General Election
War on House of Lords.

War on House OF LORDS.
London, Nov. 12.-Out OF England's
political turmoil following the failure
OF the conference committee 10 reach
an agreement regarding the veto power
of the House Of Lords, there stands to-
day the significant fact that the liberals
are apparently in control, backed by
American gold.
Liberal control means general
election almost Immediately, placing
before the people the question Of TAX
ing away all vestige OF power from the
lords. The liberals believe there is
every chance for success, else they
would not force the election at this
time.
Commenting on John Redman's re-
turn to England from the United States,
the Mail today said:
England should real re the humili.
ating truth that America bids her change
her constitution. II the House OF
Lords be abolished, that abolition will
be bought with foreign gold" referring
to the fact that Redmond and his com
panions raised fund of S200,0 900 in
the United States for campaign pur-
poses.
AS soon as parliament reassembles,
the question OF abolishing the House
of Lords, or ut least taking away all
its power, will be precipitated by the
liberals. !;
Premier ,Asquitl's partyis expected
to place its Joint resignation in the
hands oil. the king and thus force 4
general election. The main issue to be
decided by the voters will be the
question Of humbling the lords and
placing the entire governmental powers
in the House OF Commons and an
upper body, whose members shall be
elected instead of being hereditary.
The cabinet, it is said, feels that
with its present small majority in the
commons, it will he impossible 10
carry on the reforms it demands. 1t
is equally confident that al the present
time general election would result
in an overwhelming liberal victory,
for the conservatives are suffering
from lack Of cohesion, due to poor
leadership.
Such complete liberal victory, it is
believed, would mean the overthrow
Of the lords.

THE total campaign expenses o!
Judge Baldwin, the successful candl-

During the campaign the governor
