Now that the city election is over
everyone is speculating on the probable
appointments of the mayor. In this city
the mayor has the appointment of the
city treasurer, collector, city marshal,
street commissioner and numerous other
minor offices. Among the names men,
toned of those who may be street COM
missioner are Ii. Fl. B. Halves, Abner
T.. Hawkes., Alonzo Libby, Frank Il.
Grant and Marrett Lamb. City Treasurer
and Collector Winslow is reckoned on as
sure to be his own successor. For city
marshal it il thought that Walter V.
Knight will be his own successor. as this
is his first year, and it has. been the GUS
tom to give man in this place two
years, although the name of ex-Deputy
Sheriff Chute has been frequently men
toned for this place.
The benefit entertainment given In g.

Weave, violin; Miss Files,F whistling
soloist, and readings by Miss Alice Hut
chings and Miss Warren and Mrs. g. F..

A Matter of Justice.
% the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
DR.. Pudor steps down and out as city
physician and this position will be filled
by either DR.. Owen P. Smith, who has
been the capable assistant for two years,
or DIR. Frank A. Pitcher. DR.. Arthur
S. ellison is also in the feld.-Evening
Express.
The above item is likely to create a
false impression in regard to the office OF
city physician. No such official as assist
ant to the city physician exists. A
board of consulting physicians is annual
" appointed to act as consultants to the
city physicians when occasion demands.
Neither of the candidates for the Office
of city physician are members OF this
board.
That no injustice may be done to any
candidate, desire to Atate that both Dr..
Pitcher and DR.. Smith have ably per.
formed the duties of city physician dur.
ing the absence of the present incum.

That Are Hanging on the Municipal
Tree

And Some Laps Into Which They Will
Fall-Others Who Are "Willin"-More
Laps Than Plums-Fewer Fights Than
Usual-"Can You Name the Next
Marshal?!'
From studying the figures of the cleo
ton public interest in general and much
individual interest in particular, now
centres In the various city offices to be
elected by the incoming city council.
One mem Der of the incoming city gov
erEment who is an early riser on reach
ing his office on Commercial street yes
terday, found three aspirants for city
jobs, waiting on the door steps OF his
office, at 6. 45 a. M, yesterday morning.
LII goes without saying, that the stalrs
leading to this gentlemen's place OF busl-
ness, will be considerably worn away,
by the miniature army of office seekers
that will march up and down them be-
tween now and next Saturday evening.
This week Is by far the hardest any CITY
father has to endure during the NUM-
cipal year. Unhappily there ere not
enough offices to go all round. Many
anxious ones are therefore doomed to dis
appointment this year as ever.
There are not as many prospective
contests this year as ordinarily, but
there are several very warm ones.
Of the more important offices. City
Clerk Dyer, City Treasurer Libby. Audi
tor Ssnborn, Messenger Mcgowan. Elec-
trician Cummings, Superintendent
tlowen and Agent Douglass will proba-
bly, succeed themselves, though thsre
have been rumors OF contest for audi
tor.
In the organization Of the Common
Council there is apparently to BIZ 10 con-
test. W. W. Virgin is the only man
mentioned for president, and Mr.. g. G..
Mitchell has no competitor for clerk,
and undoubtedly will be his own success
sor.
For city physician there is lively con-
test. The fighting ward three has a
candidate in DR.. George S. Pitcher, an
old Portland boy and graduate of her
schools and son of the late Frank
Pitcher, ESQ.,, for many years director
in the CaRoo bank, and leading bust
ness man of Portland. DR.. Pitcher re-
oeived his diploma from the college of
Physicians and Surgeons (Columbia) N.
Y, and has bsen in constant practice
since his graduation in 1888.
DR.. O. P. Smith of ward five is also
candidate. He is native of Cornish
and graduated from the Bowdoin Medi-
cal school in 49, and has since prac-
ticed here.
DR.. A. s. ellison, (Bowdoin Medical
school ,'94, } of ward six, is a recent can
didate in the field.
There is triangular fight for solicitor
between Carroll W. Morrill,. Charles A.
Stront and Charles P. Mattocks with
prospects of lively "scrap."
"Who will MIR. Randall appoint mar

ia asking of every other man he meets.
If Mr.. Randall knows he doesn't tell.
Mayor W. II. Green, II. r. Sargent.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-The bureau
Of foreign commerce Of the state de-

the preparation for publication Of the
volume known as Commercial Rela-
tions Of the United States" embodying
annual reports from United States con-
sui in every country in the world upon
the trade conditions in their respective
districts. Within the past three years
the quality, and the value of this pub
lication to the business interests of the
country, have improved in an astonish-
ing degree, owing to careful selection of
material, patient suggestion to consuls
of information likely to be desired and
the addition of .compendious and thor

the bureau, setting out conclusions as to
general trade tendencies that may be
impartially drawn from vast store Of

ton Of such variety as to be valuable

the work is afforded by extracts made

benefit of advance publications.
From Hanover comes an account of
the installation Of an electrical railway
for handling heavy freight; suggestions
for placing American tools in Germany
and talk of an opening for breakfast

The consul at Barcelona reports upon
the trade of Spain as affected by the
Cuban war; upon Spanish women's
aversion to the bicycle, and upon tariff

From Santo Domingo comes a report
Of railway development, of tariff changes

American credit systems. The depress-

upon the Swiss watch trade is described
by the consul of Geneva, who also tells
of the preference for American bicycles
and of the growing demand for Ameri-

So far indeed as stock operations are
concerned, special remittances in cash
are being made to New York in connec-

combine to indicate a somewhat large
drain in gold, an advance in the bank

doubtless be met to some extent from
