TIE prosecution of the bailot-bo1 stuff
ers and falsihers Of election returns in
Philadelphia does not appear to have
stopped with the conviction Of Mouatt, the
ex-ciiy councilman sentenced to two years
imprisonment for altering a precinct tally
list. The grand jury have since found
true bills against several judges of election
fer making false return Of the number Of
votes cast and the state of the poll.
THE prospects for the adoption of legis-
lation this Winter to set On foot further
funding operations or to settle the silver
question do not look favorable at present.
A number of Republican members of the
House are talking against Senator Sher-
mans funding bill, and on the silver ques-
ton there are marked differences of opin-
ion. A growing feeling in faver of full
value silver dollar among men who sup
ported the present silver law is, however,
= significant and hopeful feature Of the
situation.
THE probability of the loss of three
Atlantic steamships, the City OF London,
the Henry Edge, and the Lord Byron, in
creases every day. The City Of london,
belonging to the Centaur Line, sailed from
London on November 18th, and has not
been heard from since she got out Of the
channel. The Henry Edge left Antwerp
for Boston on November 21st, and was last
seen passing st. catharire's Point the
same day. The Lord Byron. from Ham
burg, is now out since November 2Sth.
Neither vessel carried passengers.
Dispatches from St. Petersburg state
that most of the crew of the missing
steamer JcanSette arrived at the mouth of
the River Lena IN Siberia about three
months ago. The Jedpaette was crushed
by ice en- jane 23I. several hundred miles
North OF the Siberian coast. The creY
embarked IN three boats, tY0 of which
have been heard FROM There i. 70 news
