l thing. The New York World confesges that MT. Tilden is a candidate. The reliable New York correspondent of the Hartford Times says of the physical condition of the sage: Mre Tilden has not been in better trim since his vigorous fight with the Tweed ring, over ten years ago, than at the present time. Of coarse he is not . robust man, for he neverwas, but he eats and sleeps well, takes his regular exeroise with zest and is in as good condi-
 tion as nineteen men out of twenty at his
 time of life. He does not run up ladders, or climb trees, or jump fences, but he can go about in 8 moderate way, with little fa- tigus as when he was still under 60. A good many farmers of 50 are stiffer in the joints
 and more worn by their years than he is. He has always taken good care of himself
 and he is free from anything like chronic
 disorder. The ailments he sometimes has, and which occasionally make him seem fee- ble, are only those to which nearly all men of slight physical structure are subject.
 The press regulations recently issued by
 the Japanese government are causing much dissatisfaction which, is not at all surprising when the nature of these regulations is con- sidered. The proprietor, director, editor, printer, writer and translator of 8 newspaper are all to be considered equally culpable in l respect of any offence Again, if one Of sev- eral papers published blythe same company or individual be suppressed or suspended all the others are similarly treated. Al! persons connected in a responsible position with prohibited journal are debarred for two years from having anything to do with the l public press. Editors are compelled, under l heavy fines, to keep original manuscripts tor ! three weeks for the inspection of the police, l and are required to state the source from which an item of news is obtained. The I Ministers of War, the Navy and Foreign Af- I fairs may, at their discretion issue 8 general 1 order directing editors to abstain from dis 1 cussing, under any circumstances, the affairs l of the departments Substituting journals l and other insidious methods of tampering | with the press having failed, this measure | has been devised to stamp out the free ex- pression of public opinion.
 English papers are telling how the signal I man at Llandudno saved the Irish mail pas- sengers from what might have proved a terri ble fate The signal man at the junction red ceived message from the signal man at Conway, the next station toward Holyhead, that light engine was coming. The june ton signal man, knowing that the Irish mail Il was due, decided to run the engine into \ siding in order to permit the express to pass. | He accordingly put up all the signals against | the light engine, but to his extreme astonish- ! msnt the engine came straight into the junc- tion at full speed, swept round the' corner, dashing past all the danger signals and disap- pearsd from view down the line toward Ches- ter. A moments reflection convinced the signal man that both driver and stoker must be asleep. He accordingly wired to the Colwyn Bay station signal man-"Engine coming; driver asleep; put fog signals on line" The man at Colwyn Bay was equally prompt. for, running out of his box, he had hardly time to lay number of signals when the engine came laundering along and an ex- plosion followed which effectually awoke the men. The engine was stopped and run back into siding when it was discovered that the 4 fire had gone out. that tue wstst had diasn- peared from the boiler and that the men had been asleep some time. Inquiry resulted in their immediate discharge. They had been fifteen hours on duty and were tired out
