very small counties, and the cost of public

Carroll, or were several years ago. Below we

most of which are less in population than Car

Eight Hours I'm Pennsylvania to Depend
OH the Illinois Miners Strike.
PITrsBURG, Pa, April 9.-The eight
hour question, which threatened to dis
rupt the interstate conference of coal
miners and operators now in session
here, will probably be amicably settled.
1t developed in the discussion to-day
that the miners would be willing to
bear any loss resulting from the change
to eight hours. James Mcbride stated
that it was not the intention to force
the eight-hour question in Pennsylva-
MIA and Ohio at present. If the oper-
ators in these states agreed to grant the
eight hours after tho battle had been
won in Indiana, Illinois and elsewhere,
the miners would be satisfied. This
proposition was received with favor.

WASHBURNE IN THE LEAD.
Little Doubt That n Republican is Klected
Mayor of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, April ,9.-The Tribune
claims the election ofHempstead Wash
burne (Rep.) by a plurality of 1876 votes.
This result is arrived at on complete re-
turns, partly of those sent by the judges
of election to police headquarters and
partly through ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
made by its reporters in cases where
police returns were missing.
The Inter-Ocean (Rep.) makes Wash
burne's plurality 1888.
The Daily News Ind.) gives no fig
ures on the mayoralty, but charges Gre
gier's friends with attempting fraudu-
lent work on behalf Of their candidate.
The Herald (Dem.) says that it will
require the official count to determine
the result, and quotes the claim of Gre
gier's friends to the effect that on COM
plete returns he has a plurality of 235.
The Herald's tabulated statement, how
ever, gives Washburne a plurality of
$50.
The Times Dem. says Mayor Cregier
and his political managers claim his
election by plurality of 235 on the
face of the returns brought in by the
police
The new City Council as near as can
be ascertalned, will stand as follows:
Republicans, %; Democrats, A; indie
pendent Democrats, l. The present
Council consists of 81 Republicans, 81
Democrats, 2 Independent Republicans
and i Independent Democrat.
Manager Ballantyne, of the City Press
Association, has taken the returns of
Tuesdays election as gathered by the
City Press Association that night, and
has locked them up for safe keeping.
This action was taken with view, to
their use, if necessary, in case a contest
should result over the mayoralty.
