st. Paul, Jan. 25.-Unless congress
Wakes some action to straighten out
the tangle between the railway mail
clerks and the postofflce department
in the next two or three days a mass
meeting of the clerks of six states
will be called in st. Paul, at which
some action will be taken to force the
hand of the department, or to force
congress into some action.
In the meantime the men are work
Ing in every possible manner to obtain
some relief for themselves. A repre-
sentative of the Twin City Railway
Mail Clerks association, with one from
Pierre, one from Tracy and one from

Mass Meeting Will Be Called.
A. committee meeting was called at
the clerks headquarters, 1902 Pioneer
Press building, at noon. Four mail
run represented. At the con.
clusion John l.. Thornton, who has
been appointed publicity agent for the
clerks in the Twin Cities, said that
arrangements have been made for the
calling of a mass meeting to take up
the matter.
"A meeting can be called. in twenty
four hours" he said. MEN from Wis
consin, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Iowa and Montana will be
present. We believe that If the de-
partment tries to make a wholesale
suspension of men, that will be cause
enough for a meeting. II the next
three days go by without any con-
gressional action the meeting will be
called anyway and we will undertake
to do something to force the hand of
congress and the department"
Mr.. Thornton said that the commit
tee meeting endorsed the stand taken
by the clerks on the Tracy-Pierre run
to walk out on Feb. 15 unless some re-
lief is in sight. He would not say,
however, that any definite date for a
walkout would be set by the Twin
City clerks.

HELPS COTTON PRICES.
Government Estimate, Though Larger
Than Anticipated, Produce Com
paratively Small Effect.

New Orleans, Dec. 11.-Although
this was the important bureau day
in the year and the Governments
estimate Of the crop of 1855, 900
bales was larger than expected. the
net change for the session was a de-
cline of only to 10 points.
Up to l o'clock the market was
tame and fluctuated over about ten
points. The opening was unchanged
to two points off, but within a few
minutes the trading months were one
to two points down. Then they re-
covered to the level Of Saturdays
close and March made a net advance
Of one point. This was the highest
Of the day. Sentiment grew bear
ish as the time for the governments
guess drew near and at 10 o'clock
prices were seven to eight points un-
der Saturdays figures. Following the
publication Of the crop figures there
was a drop of Is to 16 points, but
this did not last long as it tempted
proft-taking by shorts on a grand
scale, and a recovery was almost
immediate. This reaction amount
ed to ten points before the edge of
the desire Of shorts TO realize profits
was taken off. The close was steady.
That the market did not decline
more with the average expectation
for 14,75O,000 bales from the gov
ernment was due to heavy short
interest that existed. That such a
large interest should still exist after
the heavy covering Of the last week
or two was considered remarkable.

has announced that in his opinion the
Argentine ant, Louisiana pest which
Is the despair of housewives, Is the
South's most effective enemy Of the
boil weevil. 1t was found that the
ant will destroy the young weevils and
eggs, but the assault on a mature
weevil is another matter. The scient-
st is firmly Of the opinion that in
time the ant will bolster up sufficient
courage to attack grown up weevils
but not until he is educated" up to
it.
II believe that these ants will final
ly exterminate the boil weevil," said
Father Biever. "They destroy all
other ants by attacking the nests
and destroying the eggs. They will
treat the weevil similarly"
Further experiments are 70 be
made.
