by Mayors Strong, Gleason and Wur-

time and the big crowd OF office-holders
and ex-ofice- holders made a circle
around them About one minute before
u o'clock Mayor Strong said:
'Mr. Van Wyck, the people OF this new
city, made up of five boroughs and $780,
900 people, have decided that you should
be the first mayor and descend from
your position as judge 10 assume The po-
sition Of magistrate
My impression Is that this old city,
En which you and 1 have lived for about
the same number of years-this old city
Of New York that is passing away, will
contribute So, ,000, 900, 900 worth of property

el in the cluster Of five. You have been
chosen to be mayor of one of the largest
cities in the world. congratulate you
and welcome you as mayor OF Greater
New York.
Mayor Van Wyck said In reply,
'SThe people have chosen me 10 be
mayor. I received the Office from them
and 10 them I will answer"

CAVALRY in THE GUARD.
Members OF Troop A are Sworn Into the
Service OF the State.

Dies MONIES, Nov. 1.-The first step
toward the reorganization of the Iowa
national Guard was taken when Troop
A, cavalry, was mustered into the SER
vice by Adjutant General Bycrs. The
men were enlisted for three years.
Harry II. Polk is captain, Benjamin
+. Kaufman, first lieutenant: Warren
j.. Whitney. second lieutenant. Thir-
ty-two men were sworn in. When the
four regiments of the national guards
were sworn into the service OF the
United States for the Spanish war, the
guard was composed of but one man
and that man was Adjutant General
Hycrs. Now it is composed of Troop
A. which not only enjoys the di>t'nc-
ton of being the entire guard. but is
the first cavalry organization to become
affiliated with the guard. This state
of affairs will not exist long. however,
for General Bvcrs said that it is his in
tention to push the work of reorgani-
cation. lie will organize four regl-
mcntS of twelve companies each. with
from sixty to eighty men to a company,
a second troop of cavalry and a battery
of light artillery. AS quick AS the
guard can be rcorganizcd. it will be
uniformed and equipped at the expense
of the state and national governments.

London dispatch: The arrival OF
Major Marchanl at Khartoum, on his
way to Cairo with the portion OF his
report which was not finished when
Captain Baratier left Fashoda, is
canardcd as rift in the clouds over
hanging the Anglo-French relations.
for. in spite Of the >cmi-of1icial denial
issued in Paris that no orders were
sent to the major to 60 to Cairo, it is
fully believed here that the French
officer would not be on his way to
Cairo unless he had received Il hint to
that effect from the French govern
ment, who consider that his leaving
FaShoda will take the sting out of the
situation and at the same time prepare
France for the astute withdrawal Of
the whole expedition. which now con-

Minister Dupny Declines to Have Any
thing to 10 With Fasi,oda Matter.
LONDON. Nov. 4.-The most reliable
information from Paris confirms the
earlier reports that NJ. Dupuv, the
premier. has decided to wash his
hands Of Fashoda and to recall Ma jor
Marchand, for whose mission he is not
responsible. This decision is, to some
extent, due to Il desire to allow moth
ing to interfere with the success of the
exposition in 1000.
LONDON, Nov. Am official note is
sued yesterday says: "Therc is now
good reason to hope the political sit
uation is ameliorating. 1t can be con-
fdently stated that when the cause Of
irritation which has unfortunately re-
Gently existed in Great Britain and
France on the upper Nile is removed
which is expected soon to be the case,
the door will again be open for the
resumption of those friendly negotia-
tions which happily characterize the
normal states of the relations between

The skies have been for Il time darkencd

the conflict has been of II brief duration.

PATENT OFFICE MANAGEMENT

Dies MONIES, Nov. 1.-The Inventive
Age, published at Washington, d. c..
has the following in its issue of
October Is, 1898:
sThe condition of business in the
United States patent office is deplor-
able. The only reason why it is not
in as bad odor as the medical and sup
ply bureaus of the war department is
because it is less conspicuous than
they arc. Ii the search light which is
now turning the war department in
side out could be made to bear on the
United States patent office there
would he sensation. conservation and
official dccapitaton.
Personal knowledge Of unlawful.
arbitrary and seemingly malicious
official actions by Comm s>ioner Ducil
and Assistant Commissioner Greeley
seem to warrant us in joining the Age
to demand a congressional invcstiga'
ton of the patent office management.
This is stilln free country and the peo-
rle rule. Officials have no right to
dictate to inventor, what attorneys
they Shall or Shall not employ to pre-.
pare and prosecute their appli~
for patents.
Our Office was established in 1870 for
the convenience of western inventors
and is continued to the advantage OF
those who prefer to have their work
done here in place of employing attor-
ncys in the east.
Consultation in person or by letter,
free. Information about securing,
va,u.ng and selling patents sent Tree
when called for.
