ily Virtually Abandoned bjr the
ger« of George'* Campaign.
New York, Oct. 2G.—With onlr five
days reniiduiug iu which to complete 1
the work of the municipal campaign
the situation in Greater New York con
tinues to afford lar^e opportunities foi
conjecture. So far as the betting is in
dicative of results, Tammany appears
to have the Lest of it, although there is
a lot of Republican money up at odut
that would prove alluring to those who
have cash to back up their predictions
that Van Wyck will be chosen the first
mayor of the great municipality. The
odds on Van Wyck against the field are
quoted at betting headquarters as a to
1, but at the rooms of the Republican
campaign committee it is said those wn->
desire to bet against General Tracy cun
be accompanied with even money to any
extent they desire.
That the strength of the OittEsns'
union ticket is not held in contempt, is
shown iu the space which is given iu
the journals advocating one or the other
of the regular fiolitical parties. Columns,
and even pages, are devoted to assaults
upon Mr. Low’s record as a public offi
cial, and as the head of Columbia uni
versity.
While the Jeffersonian Democracy’s
strength, within ceitiin limitations, is
conceded on all sides, it is only among
the most enthusiastic adherents oi
Henry George that the claim is made
that he will be elected. The real im
portance oi ins candidacy lies iu tue
source from which ms votes will be
drawn. The Georgeite campaign man
agers have virtually abandoned the
claim to regularity iu the following sen
tences:
•‘Tammany Hal) claims to be the reg
ular Democratic organization «f this
city and county. We dispute that chum.
Although they have possession of the
title, winch is nine points of the law.
they have not as yet received one word
of approval from Senator Jones or Wil
liam J. Bryan who are the leaders of
the national Democratic party today,
and we don’t think they will get it.”
Whoever snail be the victor iu the
mayoralty contest will win by a plural
ity vote only. The total vote may be
fi!l5,000. The secretary of the Citizens'
union asserts that Low will win with
11)0,000, Van Wyck receiving 135,000
and Tracy and George 100,000 e«eh.
The Republican claim is felO.OOO tor
Tracy, 145,000 for Van Wyck, 1)0,000
for George and 00,000 for Low.
In a recent article Bishop Henry 0.
Potter pointed out the imperative ne
cessity of every citizen registering. He
deprecated in the same article the laxity
of citizens iu tins respect, and moralized
to a great extent on the subject. An
examination of the list showed that
Bishop Potter failed to register this
year. He declined to say anything
about his failure to euroll as a voter.

Raixiuh, Oct. 26.-Newberu people
ere discussing a rare sensation. Rev.
J. A Lee of Kinston was sent for to
officiate at the marriage of Rev. Francis
E. Dixon, pastor iu charge of theVauce-

lovely daughter of Seth West. When

bade the marriage. Miss West was
also engaged to a rich young farmer of
Craven county named Kinsey, aud the
cards were out to their marriage on
Nov. z7.
The parents of Miss West favored the
suit of Kunsey and opposed that of
Dixou. The youug lady found that she
did not love Kinsey aud did love Dixon
aud wrote to Kinsey to break the en
gagement, but her letters were inter
rupted. Eventually the father cuu-
seuted to the marriage, provided she
would go across the Neuse river. He
said she should not be married on his
side of the river. Therefore a party of
youug people accompanied the couple
across the river aud the ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr. lywi on the
north bank. The couple left for the
home of Mf. Dixon’s mother.
Kinsey has employed counsel at New-

IXntiugulrttiMd Doctor Tnlk* of the Yellow
Fever (Jure Dino<»Vs>ry.
New York, Oct. 26. —A dispatch to
The Herald from Bueuotf Ayres says:
Dr. Sanarelli, who has been iu Uruguay
for many months studying the yellow
fever problem, aud who recently an
nounced the discovery of a curative
antltoxiue for the fever, has been inter
viewed as to his work by The Herald
correspondent in Montevideo.
In the first place, Dr. Sarauelli states
that American physicians are com
pletely mistaken as to his discovery’s
uses. It is not a serum to be used for
inoculation to prevent yellow fever, but
a serum winch he believes will cure it.
Dr. Sanarelli said that he had inocu
lated many dogs, horses and other ani
mals with a serum which was intended
to give them a mild form of fever and
immune them. Tnis method he found
to be slow, difficult and varying iu its
results, according to the class of animal
on which the experiments were made.
In order to immunize a horse he found
inoculaiiorj would have to bo made at
intervals covering 14 months.
Then 8anarelli turned his attention
to experiments which resulted in the
discovery of a curative serum. He first
inocnlated certain animals in order to
give them yellow fever, then tried his
curative serum with most satisfactory
results. Several of the animals were
almost dead with the genuine yellow
fever when the curative serum was in
jected. In each case they recovered.
He believes that the same results
would follow the same treatment of a
person who suffered from yellow fever,
although as yet he has been unable to
make a practical test on a man. Ho
will soon leave Montevideo for Rio Ja
neiro, where he will continue his ex
periments.

Woodford, as an answer to the com
munication which the general placed in
the hands of the Duke of Tctuan early
in September last, while the latter win
minister for foreign affairs, ou the sub
ject of insurrection in the island oi
Cuba.
The United States minister admit*
having received Spain’s reply to th«
note of the United States, but he de
clines to discuss tbe matter beyond sav
ing that the text of the Spanish answer
will be immediately transmitted te
Washington.
While the government of Spain will
not give out the text of its reply to the
United States on the subject of Cuba, It
was officially announced that the rei ly
of the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs, Seuor Gallon, is ou the follow
ing lines: It expresses regret at the
fact that the insurructiou iu Cuba •‘re
ceives support from frequent American
filibustering expeditions” aud that oth
erwise the rebellion in Cuba wooki pos
sibly not exist. It is hoped by the
Spanish government that by the grant
ing of autonomy to Cuba and the with
drawing of American support,

It is also officially announced that the
Spanish note is marked throughout by
an energetic tone. According to re
ports in official circles hero, the United
States minister will confine himself to
acknowledging the receipt of the Span
ish reply, and, after forwarding it to
the government will request instruc
tions from Washington before proceed

It is not expected that the text of the
answer of Spain will be pnblisned here
before the senate has had au opportu

document may not be published in the
