London, Sept. s.--what is now designat-

the prospects OF the continued concert of

II Is thought that the announcement of
the names OF the four personages appoint

commissioners, will furnish Russia with
a plausible reason to join in the American
demand for a more satisfactory commits
sion, and give Russia ground for delay
ing the Withdrawal of her troops from Pc
kin until the Chinese imperial party
shows more conciliatory disposition.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE VICTORY.

Made Great Inroads Into Republican and
Democratic Ranks at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-Returns Of
the election in this city did not come in
from outlying wards till almost day
Light. Sixteen magistrates were voted
for and the result shows a decided VIC
tory for the candidates nominated by
the municipal league in opposition to
the regular Republican and Democratic
nominees. While the Republicans
elected by reduced pluralities 10 candi-
dates they were entitled to under the
law, only two of the six Democratic can
didates were successful, the municipal
league electing the other four. The
four men elected by the municipal
league are: Albert q. Ladner, William
Esenbrown, J. M. r. Jermon and John
M. O'Brien. Jermon, before whom ex-
Senator Quay was first arraigned, was
denied support by the Republicans.
Eisenbrown is the magistrate before
whom the ballot box suffers were ar
raigned and held in heavy bail.

Let Hogs run.

Accurate experiments have proved
time and again that hogs fatten better
when given the run of an acre lot than!
when confined In a close pen. Then a

reasonable to suppose that cholera and
other diseases are introduced into the
swine herds by their being compelled
to eat and breathe while eating SO
much dust during the dry season; also
by being deprived of plenty of good
drinking water. Cattle will proclaim
their thirst BY d constant bawling. but
the pig will endure 1t with a much
greater degree of silence, hence should
have all the D watching In this di-
rection. 20 you feed your hogs Id the
