BASIS OF BIG CLAIM.
New York Said to Surpass London
in Population.

NEW YORK, August 2J.-That New
York can already fairly claim to be the
largest city in the world is shown by
comparison of the census just COM
pleated in London with the health de-
partment's estimate of New York's num-
bers.
The population of the administrative
county and city of London is 4.522, ,62S, as
compared with 1883. 1885, the population of
the administrative boroughs Of New York
city January 1. To retain first place Lon
don must include the outlying metro
politan police districts, which will give
lser more than 1.DO.OOO.
Another significant comparison between
the two cities is the death rates, showing
that the American metropolis is far and
away the healthier city. London's death
rates is given as l91. while New York S
is only 1873.
