PLATT'S OPINION.
Tracy's Chances. If Anything, He
Thinks, Are Improved.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-In a state
ment issued this afternoon, Senator
Plat says: UNLESS the jefferson Dem
ocrats are betrayed by Tom Johnson,
who has been their hoodoo from the
start, their votes will be easily con-
solidated upon the other candidates.
The disreputable deal between johnson
and the Citizens union has further pos
sibilities so far as Johnson is concerned,
but not so far as the real friends and
followers of George are concerned. They
are not deliverable in bulk to anybody
except to another bona tide candidate
of the party. Gen. Tracy will not lose
a single Republican vote as the result
of MI Georges death. The Republican
party will poll it's strength with sub
stantial entirety for Gen. Tracy. and
nothing could or can effect that fact
The Republicans recognize the Low
movement as a Democratic conspiracy
They see in Low an attempt to revive
Clevelandism and betray the Republi-
can party by another of those charac
terlstic tricks of the Cleveland Demo
cracy.
1T is an old and well-understood
thing in every political crisis during
the last twelve years, that the Cleve-
land Democracy has undertaken to
divide the Republican forces by with
drawing from the Republican candidate
the support of Republican voters upon
a dishonest pretense of reform pur-
poses.
I'm the existing situation Low stands
for Cleveland methods and maneu-
vers, but Republicans understand their
game. They remember it's consequent
ces to the republic and Republican
party in former periods. Attempts to
stampede them now excite only their
indignant disgust. They will support
their party their party's trusted prin-
ciples and their party's unconquerable
candidate. If the George party should
split up, the Socialist-Democratic ele-
ment may be carried by Johnson to
Low. Low is something of a Socialist
himself, or rather he is so much of
demagogue, that, as he says, he is
willing to stand on any platform that
will fetch him handful of votes This
will affect Gen. Tracy's chances favor
ably
eff George had lived he would have
secured an enormous labor support that
will now come to Gen. Tracy. The
working people appreciate what the
Republican party has done for them,
not only at Washington by restoring
prosperity, but also at Albany, by pro-
tecting them and encouraging the de-
velcpment of their organization. Tam
many cannot get this vote. 1t has be-
come estranged from Tammany hall,
and in this election it is supporting
Tracy. and it will now support him
more strongly than ever"

THE ANNUAL MILITARY BALL.
AT THE UNIVERSITY A GRAND
SUCCESS AS FAR AS LOCAL
INTEREST GOES.
FEW BADGERS WERE PRESENT,
But They Are Expected to Be Here
in Full Force for TOday's
Games.

That there will be Madison men
enough in evidence today there is not
a doubt but they were not at the
athletic and military ball. This long
anticipated event came off, last night
in the armory on university campus,
and not even the senior promenade ex-
ceeded it in point of attendance. The
ball is over, and there are only happy
memories clustering around the bright
ly decorated ball room, with it's stocks
of arms out of sight, where the drill
hall was cleared for dancing, and
where the standard of colorS was lift
ed against the wall for decoration.
There were few Wisconsin men on the
floor, very few, but the partisans and
adherents of the Minnesotas were out
in force in their dress suits and even
ing clothes. There was a noticeable
commingling of the young and Older,
the freshmen and the alumni, while
dignified professors were not averse to
taking part in the dance. In no preVl-
Gus party at the university, unless it
was a senior promenade in its palmiest
days, have there been so many of the
older society girls among the partici-
youthful university girls, young and
bewitching in their fresh gowns Of
muslin and organdie. The older girls
wore handsome gowns of richer ma
terials than their younger sisters wore,
and the whole made a lovely picture on
the shining floor, polished to reflect
the twinkling slippered feet. There
were perhaps 400 dancing and as many
more occupied the overhanging bal
cony to watch the changing scene be-
low. The ball equalled the brightest
anticipations Of the hopeful athlete.
There was a restlessness among the
dancers as if the momentouS game was
casting it's influence over the assem-
blage. The girls never looked prettier;
their gowns were never more becom-
ing; the patronesses were gracious and
cordial in the palm decked corner
where they received amid luxurious
appointments, rugs, divans and easy
chairs. Watsons First Regiment band
provided music for a programme of
twenty-five dances, and a caterer pre-
sided in the supper room.

ONE OF THE TRIO HELD.
Ward Taken to Fergus Falls, Where
He Will Stand Trial.

At the adjourned hearing in United States
Commissioner Abbott's court yesterday morn
ing, Ward was bound over in 8, 900 bail and
his companions, E. F. Geary and George
Bernon, also arrested for alleged completely
in the Glyndon train robbery, were dis
charged. They seemed to be very anxious to
render Ward all possible assistance.
There is really very little evidence against
any of the three, but some of Wards, state
ments are very unsatisfactory. In one in
stance he asked a question which would
seem to indicate that he in the express
car. When he was questioning Mail Clerk
Todd on the witness stand, Ward said:
Now, this man talked to you all the time
he was in the car, didn't he? Now, does my
voice sound like his?"
The two men who were discharged were
very saucy to officers Fox and Flemming i'm
mediately afterwards and they were warned
that they would be given just one hour to
get out of town.
1t is said that one reason why the author
tiles are so anxious to hold Ward is that
he is believed to be one if not the leader
of the gang that held up a train of stage
coaches in the Yellowstone park last sum
mer and got about 5000.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy United States
Marshal Sheehan took Ward to Fergus Falls,
where he will be tried

BETS TO BE CALLED OFF.
One Result of the Death of the Sill
yer Nominee.

NEW YORK, Oct 29-It is not I'M
likely that all bets on the mayoralty
contest will be declared off as d result
of Henry Georges death. 1t is esti-
mated that something like $150,000 has
been wagered on the stock exchange
alone. Van Wyck has led in the bet
ting with Low second choice. In adj
dition to bets on the main issue, any
number of bets have been made that
Low would poll more votes than Ira
cy, or vice verse. Edward Talcott,
who is one Of the heaviest of the
stock exchange betters and has laid
wagers amounting to about $4,000 on
the election, said today that he had
communicated with the men whose
money he holds with the purpose Of
bringing them together to effect a set
Element of their bets.
1T is my purpose" said Mr.. Talcott,
ito have my betting friends appoint
a committee of arbitration. This com
mittee shall decide whether it is best
or not, in view of Georges death, to
declare all bets off. 1 for one will
abide by the decision of the commit
tee. The only way out of 1t that L
can see is to wipe the slate clean and
begin all over again"
The decision of the committee to DE
appointed by the stock exchange brok-
ers will doubtless be accepted by all
sporting men.

Mild Weather ana Yellow Fever

NEW YORK, Oct 29.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: General trade re-
tans most of the features OF Il week
ago, with a continued check to the
movement of staple merchandise. AT
larger Eastern and Central Western
cities sales of seasonable goods have
not euualled expectations, and at none
Of these points has the volume of bust
aess increased. At Chicago, st. Louis,
Baltimore, New York and providence,
there has been a decrease in the vol
Tine of business in some lines, due IN
Fart to unreasonable weather and in
some instances to the continued quar-
antine of yellow fever districts. Some
jobbers, at cities which supply South
ern merchants, have. delayed sending
out travellers, and in instances nave
called travellers home. Merchantlle col
leCtions are slower, filing in orders are
small and more infrequent, and bust
ness in staple lines for the latter half
of October, aside from that in wool and
metals, has been somewhat disappoint-
ing.
The Northwest continues to make re-
latively more favorable reports as to
trade, although at Milwaukee and Min
neapolis mild weather has checked dis
tribution. Nearly all Southern cities
except a few in Texas, Arkansas and
Georgia, continue to feel the influence
of the yellow fever quarantine, the ex-
tremely low price of cotton and de-
layed collections.
Consumption of iron and steel con-
tinues heavy, but mills refuse orders
for 1898 delivery, in the belief that the
cost of making iron and steel will be
higher. Wooden go2ds continue firm
and in fair demand, with an upward
tendency, but cotton fabrics are weak
and the market is heavily stocked.
Wheat is again above a dollar, on
continued heavy exports. Our wheat
export movement, aggregatlng more
than 100000 bushels within thirteen
weeks, is unprecedented and points to
a keener appreciation of the statistical
strength of wheat by European impor-
ters than by many American trades.
Exports of wheat, flour included, from
both coasts of the United States and
from Montreal this week, amount to
5So1 ,391 bushels, against 1852, 900 bush
els last week; 3,62S, 900 bushels in the
last week of October 1896; 2,743,000
bushels in 1895; ,314,000 bushels In 1894
and as compared with 1850, 900 bushels
in this like week of 1898. Exports of
Indian corn amount to 15S9,193 bushels
this week; compared with LII, 900
bushels last week; 2649, 900 bushels in
the corresponding week of 1896; 1870,
600 bushels in 1885, $4,000 bushels in
1894, and as constrasted with $4,000
bushels in 1898
The total number of business failures
reported throughout the United States
this week, is 21S; compared with 200

ORDERS IN GOOD VOLUME.
BUSINESS IS RATHER BETTER
THAN HAD BEEN EXPECTED,
SAYS pUNss.
FOR quick DELIVERY
Shows That Sales in Many Instances
Have Exceeded the Expecta-
tions ofnDealers.

NEW YORK, Oct. s29E-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say: The testing of retail trade
ably retarded by long continued mild
weather, and also by the fever in
Southern districts. Even from that
quarter some large orders lately re-
ceived show better distribution than
was yet expected. In spite of unsea-
sonably warm weather, which greatly
binders retail dealings in winter goods
at all points east of the plains, the
large number of supplementary orders
with urgent pressure for quick de-
livery make it clear that the sales in
many branches have exceeded the ex-
pectation of dealers so that replenish-
ment of stocks is not yet finished.
Meanwhile wholesale trade and orders
to manufacturers have, been smaller
than when the rush was greatest, but
have, nevertheless, been large for this
stage. even in year of general pros
perity, for the payments through the
principal clearing houses have, for the
week been 3.9 per cent larger than in
the same week of 1892, and for the
month 81 per cent.
Heavy engagements for out going
wheat, covering 100000 bushels this
week. affect monetary prospects, but
still more the produce markets, for
the Atlantic exports are large already,
S,S64.649 bushels, flour included, against
c,344,S44 blu. for the week last year, and
in four weeks Is, 904, 557 bushels, against
9.S17,O5S bushels last year, and in four
weeks, IL, 904 ,557, against 9,817,O5S bush
els last year. Western receipts are not
quite equal to last years for the week,
but have been 27,969,2SS bushels for four
weeks. against 28, 756, 644 bushels last year
The market advanced 27ac with No. g
red actually sold above 81 here, While
sDecu!ation in St. Louis is pushing
prices yet higher. The possibility that
foreign exports may be checked is not
to be overlooked, but the heavy en-
gagements, besides exports for TOUR
months past, provetth that foreign needs
are real and large. The corn move
ment was smaller. though exports fell
only 100000 bushels below last years
and the price advanced but slightly.
The buying of steel and iron products,
though smaller than of late, continues
to keep works we'll engaged ahead ana
induces others to resume operations.
Both buyers and manufacturers find it
prudent to limit engagements ahead,
and the period of adjustment will make
the industry safer for some time to
come. There is great pressure for
speedy deliveries, but in bars and wire
some abatement of demand, with
slightly lower prices for nails.
Failures for the week have been 219
in the United States, against 27O last
year, and % In Canada, against 20 last
wear.

Low, Van Wyck, Tracy and Gleason
Express Regret.


NEW. YORK, Oct. 29-Seth Low,
when interviewed regarding Henry
Georges death, said: 1.-The sudden
death of Mr.. George, under the stress
of the campaign, was a great tragedy.
No soldier on the battlefield ever gave
his life for his country more evidently
than Mr.. George has laid down his life
in behalf of the city Of New York
Pure in motive, higf~minded, absolute
~ devoted to the services Of his fellow
men, as he thought they could be
served, he has fallen in the thick of
the battle against the tyranny and
corruption of One-man power which
controls the political machine and thus
deprives the people at once of their
rights as free men and of control of
the government of the city in the pub
lie interest. During the campaign Mr..
George repeatedly recognized that fun
damentally this is a fight against boss
ism and all that this implies In political
degradation and corruption In view
of Mr. Georges death I wish, there
fore, to say to the people Of the city
that I shall give myself to this contest
in their behalf with a new and higher
resolve, as though I had received it as
a last charge from his dying lips"
When the news of Henry Georges
death was received at the headquarters
Of Robert A. Van Wyck, orders were
sent to all the printers who had been
printing campaign literature for Can
didate Van Wyck to stop printing all
documents bearing the name of Henry
George. The following was sent by
Judge Van Wyck to Mrs. George: 81
am inexpressibly shocked. No words
can express my regret or my sincere
sympathy.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Oct. %
The news of the death of Henry George
caused profound interest here, where
he is we'll known. Mr.. George, as edi-
tor of the Evening Post, of this city,
which paper he founded, was a promi-
nent factor in California affairs many
years ago and his career since he left
this city has been watched with inter-
est He had a large number of follow
ers in this state who believed in and
advocated his single tax theory Mr.
George first came here in 1857 on board
the q. S. S. Shubrick, of which he was
pursers clerk His cousin, James
George, was already established here
His first employment in this city was
in the capacity of laborer in a rice mill
on Fremont street, but in 1858, when the
Frazer river excitement started his
cousin and o. F. Griffin opened a min
erS' supply house in Victoria and sent
Henry up there to conduct it. Six
months later, however, he returned to
this city and started small weekly
paper known as the Home Journal. 1t
was not success. He then went to
work as q compositor. In 1860 he mar
ried Miss Annie c. Fox and shortly
afterward went to Sacramento. He
soon returned, however, and began to
write for the local papers. His work
OH the Examiner led to his appoint
ment as editor on the Chronicle, but
he soon left that paper and started
another weekly known as 1.-THE State"
few months later he was sent East
as correspondent Of the Daily Herald,
published by John Nugent. He return
ed here in 1868, and after working for
several local papers, started the Even
ing Post He disposed of this four
years later and was appointed by Gov.
Irwin as inspector of gas meters, an
office which he held for about four
years. Meantime, during his leisure
