Irving Hall Indorses George.
NEW YORK, October 1Sth-A. M.-The
World says: The Irving Hall leaders held
a conference last night and decided to IL
dorse George for Mayor and to nominate a
full city, county, Assembly and Judicial
ticket. Robert B. Mooney will be NOM
mated for President of the Bo1rd of Alder
men, and Louis S. Goebt (Republican) for
Register. When this action was announced
to the politicians late last night it was
generally admitted that it would lend
considerable accession of strength TO the
George movement, as it would give it the
benefit of working political organization
and the presence of some Inspectors Of
Election at the polls One politician said
it would add from 5000 to 10000 to Henry
Georges vote for Mayor, but it would not
elect him.
Who WIN be Surprised?
New YORK, October 1Sth-A. M.-The
political pot begins to boil. The great un-
known quantity, the size of Georges vote,
still causes great anxiety among politi-
clans. George himself and his supporters
are sanguine he will be elected, receiving
over 100000 votes. The Sun thinks his
vote will not exceed $4,000, and the HTorld
figures on 80, 900. The Tribune and Times
believe Roosevelt's election is secured, while
other journals merely differ in their idea OF
the size of Hewltt's majority. Evidently a
great surprise awaits somebody, and the
attitude of the leading journals seems to be
one which they can emerge from at the end
by declaring that they had miscalculated
Georges strength.

story that the heirs of Tilden propose test
ing his will is apparently well founded.

whose failure to appear thus far caused a
delay in the probate Of the will, arrived in
this city last evening. He refused to be
interviewed.

Minister and the entire Legation were pres
ent to-day at test of long-distance tele-
phoning about 300 miles The Minister
conversed with the Chinese Consul in New
York. and expressed great surprise at the
distinctness with which every word was
conveyed through, the instrument. The
Chinese realized that the Yankees had in
vented something useful for their country,
which the telegraph, had never been able
to supply.
Where Is this Thing Going TO Stop?
WASHINGTON, October 1Sth.-There is yet
due undertaken SPEAK, of New York, from

$500 appropriated Tor the payment
of Garfields funeral expenses, bu
the Auditing Committee paret
down the bills, which left .
