FOLLOW THIRD INTO RETIREMENT.
The POLITICAL PROSPECT GOOD
Eight OF virginia's Ten Congregations
nj Districts Certain to Go Demo-
egation VIII he solidIy That Way.

WAotlNGION, ID. u, OCTOBER IL
Special There are thue best reasons
for believing that the Second Virginia
Regiment viii be mustered out on the
22d OF the month, when its thrty-day
furlough expires. just as is now being
done in the case OF the Third Virginia
Adjutant-General Corbin was asked re-
Gently II the Secretary OF War was con-
sidering an application to retain the Sc
cond Virginia Regiment in service.
Il think not" he said "at least, he has
not intimated such a thing to me-"
HE would be likely to do so, II he
thought OF retaining the regiment.
wouldn't he?"
Yes" said General Corbin. "he would.
! The colonel of the regiment had an in
| formal talk over the matter with the Sec
rotary. but don't think the original pro-
gramme will be departed from. II has
not been so far. and several applications
TO retain certain commands in the service
! have been refused"
This was eli the Adiptant-General had
TO say. and the Secretary could not be
| seen to-day.
/ found out later that one Of the regi
| nents which wished to be retained in the
| service and one which was turned down
| was the First Ohio, and yet IT was back
ed by powerful influence This is an
indication that the mastering out Of the
commands designated for that purpose
will not be amended. or the orders re-
voked. in any instance.
While Secretary Long has promised that
the Spanish warship Maria Teresa will
be sent 10 the Norfolk navy-yard for re-
pairs no ouier has yet been issued from
the department TO that effect. The vessel
will have 20 be towed, and ii may be
some time before a date can be fixed by
the Bureau of Construction and Repair
to carry out the Secretary's wishes.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

member of the Executive Committee Of
the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, arrived here yesterday, and

not yet put in an appearance, and Mr.
Jones has had most of the work TO do In
his absence. He has been extensively in
terviewed to-day by local newspaper men
on the outlook in Virginia. He told thu
scribes substantially that eight of the
| ten districts were absolutely safe 70
the Democrats. and he was almost conf
dent that candidates would be elected II
the other two. the Ninth and the Tenth
making the delegation solldly Democratic
In the Fifty-sixth Congress.
Representative Hay, who has beer
speaking in Greene county was here fol
two hours to-day, between trains. on hi
way to Shenandoah. He reports the out
look as decidedly encouraging in his dis

aroused the Democrats to such an exten
r as to bring out full vote. which ensure

ever given in the district.
