VOTING IN PHILADELPHIA.
Hot Contest Over the Municipal Election
 Is on Today.

Is on Today.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.-Philadelphia is today voting for q mayor receiver of taxes, II members of select council, 70 members of common council and l2 police magistrates. The campaign, which prac- tically ended Saturday night has been ono of the hottest that this city has seen for many years. Charles F. Warwick, the Republican candidate for mayer, has been aSSailed as the creature of the famous com. bine, or machine, which has dominated the city government for several years, and the charge has been made that if he is elected tine rule of State Senator Charles A. Porter and David Martin will continue for four years more.
 There is some disSenSion in the Repub- lican ranks because of the turning down of Senator Boies Penrose after he had been slated for the nomination, many of his friends refusing to support Mir. Warwick. Many of the leaders of reform movements in past years have openly advocated the election of MT. Warwick's opponent ex- Governor Robert k. Pattison and the votes these gentlemen will influence to- gether with those of the disaffeCted or Pen rose element, will have the effect 1t is ex- pectcd, of materially cutting down the normal Republican majority of 35, 900 or possibly of wiping it out altogether.
 Ex-Governor Pattison has made a wig orouS campaign, and he promises in his letter of acceptance that if elected he will give Philadelphia Q nOnpartisan, business administration. His opponents, however, point to his turning Republicans out of office to make room for Democrats when he was city comptroller and governor and claim that he will do the same thing if elected mayor.

and Domestic Exchange

New York, March S.-Two announcements
were made today of serious import TO the
street The frat of these came from the reor-
ganzation committee OF the Union Pacific and
was to the effect that the committee had dis
banded and that all securities deposited with
1t would be returned to their owners. This
action is taken in accordance with the agree
ment entered into for the deposit OF the secur"
tiles, which provided that in case perfect
plan of reorganization had not been agreed
upon by March the committee should cease
to exist The date was fixed as that for the ad-
journment Of Congress for the reason that the
failure of that body to act on the matter OF the
company's debt TO the Government would be.
positive bar to the formation of an organiza-
ton plan. Congress failed to pass any meas
ure OF relief, and hence it only remained to
carry out the agreement The committee will
not formally disband until it has returned all
the securities it held. There was no movement

ing OF 100 shares at a decline of Z, per cent;
