REGIMENT OF CANDIDATES. More Than 1,000 Rnnn'ng for Oflice in Greater New York. New .York, Oct. 9.—There are more than 1,000 persons running for elective offices in the Greater New York. terri- tory to-day and ti e returns are not all in .yet. In the 1,552 election districts in the» territory there are-probably 25,000 men at the present moment who are devoting their time exclusivgly to poll- tics. This is an underestimate, poll; tieians say, rather than an overesti- mate. ' It is not possible at the present time to give the exact figurescven in the matter of candidates. If each party that is in the field had a candidate for each Olllce to be filled, there would be almost sixteen hundred candidates running in the greater city; but as some parties indorse the candidates of other. parties. the total number of actual candidates cannot be compiled at present. Besides, there are four days more for the nomination Of‘ independ- ’ent candidates. so the last of candi- dates may still be largely increased. So far, there are seven candidates in the field for first Mayor of the Greater. New York. The Republican party, Tammany Hall, the Democratic party, the Citizens‘ Union, the Prohibitionists, the Socialist Labor Party and the NO- Tea-NO-Tigcr party. has each its can- didate. There would be eight candi- dates, but the Populists have indorsed Henry George. NAVAL PROGRESS ABROAD. All the Nations Increasing Their Power on the Sea. Washington, Oct. 9.-——A full account of what other nations are doing to- wards naval development is set forth in a special publication issued to-day by the Office of Naval Intelligence, in which it is shown that marvelous strides are being made, even by the smaller governments, in strengthening their forces on the sea. There is not a third-rate power, according to this publication, which is not making some effort to build a navy. Much stress is laid on the advances made by Japan, and attention is drawn to her liberal naval policy, lately decided upon. Italy is the only one of the more powerful countries" supporting large naval es- tablishments shown to be making little progress, and this is accredited to the depleted conditon of her finances. Great Britain’s last programme shows her far in the lead of all other governments. both in the extent of her present programme and in the number of vessels of all types building. France being second, Germany third and pos- sibly Japan next. New \Vorld’s Double Team Record. _ Glens Falls, Oct. 9,—More than three thousaind persons saw the lowering Of the world’s double-team record by John R. Gentry and Robert J. from 2.09, made by them at Belmont Park, to 2.08 yesterday. The track was not so fast as earlier in the week, owing to rain. It was fully two seconds slow. with a cold, fast wind blowing across the stretches. The first attempt was a. failure, only 2.11 being credited to them. Driven Bowne. seemed to be afraid to let them out around the turns. In the next two attempts Rob- ert J. left his feet at the first turn each time, but the fourth time they paced from the start and showed one of the finest speed exhibitions ever witnessed. The first quarter was made in .32, the half in 1041/2. and the three-quarters in 1.8714. Then Bowne turned on the electricity, and the pair responded nobly, the last quarter being covered in 30%, a 2.03 clip. When the time for the mile, 2.08, was announced, the crowd went wild.

Sweetens the foul breath, Cures the pain across the eyes, And in the back of the head. Stops dropping into the throat. Cures scabs in the nose. Keeps the nose always clear. And absolutely cures the worst cases of chronic catarrh. . South Norwalk people say so. Not a. few, but hundreds among the people you see every day, your own friends and neighbors. Here are the words of one of them: Mrs. Lafayette Crew, 3 Hamilton street, South Norwalk, says: “My husband has had catarrh for a long time, suffering at times with pains in the head, hawking, spitting and often gagging, especially in the morn- ing, so that he would not be able to eat much breakfast. He got a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, and already I. can see its beneficial eifects; his throat seems all clear in the morning, and he is able to retain his breakfast. I take the liberty to make these statements regarding his case for I know he has been greatly benefited by California Catarrh Cure, and would willingly recommend it.

THE NEXT CONGRESS. _ l. ’ill Attempt to Pass Some Sort o! 8. Currency Bill. Washington, Oct. 9. — Republican Congressmen in Washington say that, in their opinion, the work of the com- ing session will be confined to very few subjects. It is expected that an attempt will be made to pass through Congress some sort Of a. currency bill, but in view of the Opposition to be en~ countered in the‘Senate, it is doubt- ful if any bill can be framed which will be satisfactory to both houses. Representative Wadsworth thinks the session will be a short one. Most of the Congressmen seen do not think that the session will last beyond the middle of June or the first of July. wing to the fact that the Congression- .21 elections will occur one year from November, it is believed that an at~ tempt will be made to confine legisla— tion as much as possible to such topics only as it is absolutely necessary to touch. UNCLE SAM WILL ACT. Recall of \Veyler Must Be Harriet]. or 'Fgonblc May Ensne. V-Vashington, Oct. 9.—A prominent Cuban of this city, who is in frequent secret communication with the Junta in New York, but who, for ”prudent reasons, does not care to have his name appear in print at this critical period, is authority for the statement that the Cubans in the United States have rea- son to believe that if the Spanish Gov- ernment does not hurry up the recall of VVeyler, the influence of the McKin- ley Administration will be speedily exerted to let the civilized world know that the United States cannot longs. tolerate the barbarous warfare in the island. In addition to the butcheries which are reported from time to time. the United States, on the score of trade, will have to interfere. The Cuban thinks there will be some interesting developments through the State .De- partment in the course of the next two weeks. JOHN R M’PHERSON DEAD. Former U. S.
