New York, Nov. Hearts placed across the streets with locked wheels, today, were called into play by Gotham's police as a barricade to defend themselves from a mob of the street cleaning department strikers. For time 14th. street and Second avenue had stage setting not unlike the picture of the streets of Paris during the French revolution.
 Fortunately, 1t wasn't so bloody. Ten policemen, including two mount ed men, guarding strikebreaking drivers, were attacked by a mob which held them powerless. All traf- fife on 14th street was suspended while the police protected their men behind the barricade of carts.
 Repeated attacks on 35 other wag- ons resulted in the desertion of the men from all except five carts These continued with a doubled police guard.
 Mayor Gaynor and Street Cleaning Commissioner Edwards are as much determined, today, as lever, not to give in
 Officexs are being told to .knock down the strikers with clubs'' The strike leaders intimate that a general strike of 5O,000 union teamsters in the metropolitan district will be called In addition, they threaten to secure injunctions against the city officials, restraining them from exercising the night work scheme.

Plague Will Greet King and Queen
 0n Reaching India
Millions of Pounds Spent for Durbar Fetes, But Nothing Done to Stamp Out Ravages of Horrible Disease.
Special from United Press,

London, Nov. liking George and Queen Mary sailed from Portsmouth at 2:30. today, for India. to attend the Coronation Dunbar. The festivi- ties in India will continue until Jan- uary ' and will be of unprecedented pomp and magnificence, this being the first visit of the Emperor and Em- press to that country The King and Queen will return to England the last of January.
 Latest reports from Bombay tell of horrible plague conditions that will greet King George and Queen Mary on their arrival in India for the Dur bar.
 The last weekly report accounts for 6.667 deaths from the plague through out India, 4,700 of which were in the presidency of Bombay itself. Reports from all the southern districts indi- cate that the plague is increasing rap- idly While millions of pounds are be- ing spent on the Durbar fetes, no means. have been found for stamping out the ravages of the plague.
 The "Durbar" is the Indian name for the "court" at which George and Mary will be crowned emperor and empress of India, as they were crown ed King and Queen of Great Britain at Westminster a few months ago. It has not been customary for English monarchs to visit for this ceremony in the past but King George decided to go through it in person for the sake of the impression he hopes to produce on the Indian mind
 The affair will be, in the words of an officer of the guards who accom- panied the royal pair as an< escort "a jolly splash that the bally niggers won't forget for the rest of their liveS,'' but. the start was compara- lively unostentatious. Accompanied by detachment of the household cav airy, their majesties simply went down by train from London to South ampton, got aboard the P. & O.. liner Medina" and steamed out to sea.

ELECTION FIGURES.

The election figures are interesting when compared with the ante-elec- ton forecasts given out by the man agers of the three parties mixed up in the strenuous municipal campaign One year ago Governor Baldwin had a plurality of 569 votes over his Re publican rival and the Republicans saved but one of the city's legislative delegation at that time. It appears as if the convention slaughter of Democratic Mayor E. T. Buckingham had not been to the advantage of his party in Fairfield county and per- haps, away down in his consciousness, Mayor Buckingham is not altogether surprised.
