Renee Richmer, and were finally taken
off by the Corwin-
The Eel Norah, under low sails only,
was standing towards Cape Mendocino
on the starboard tack, making four or
five knots. The breeze was light, but
the swell was very heavy. Captain
Erickson was on deck, and sighted
ships lights about two miles away,
but having the right of way, and being
unable to come about on account of
the sea, he held the FL Norah on her
course.
At 4:3G a. m. the big iron ship crash
ed into her abaft the main mast, cut
ting her clear to the after hatch. It
was apparent at once that there was
no hope of saving the FL Norah so the
Richmer. which was safely accomplish
ed by the six men composing the crew.
At daylight the FL Norah was still
afioat, but in half an hour she was no
longer to be seen.
The Corwin was finally signaled off
Point Aguiles and brought in the
crew The ships papers, log, etc, were
lost. as it was impossible to go below.
The watch on the Richmer claims he
did not see the FL Norah's lights until
they were close aboard. The ship was

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Campaign
Committee of the Henry George forces
decided tonight, after a long meeting,
not to formally invite William J. Bryan
10 come to New York 1t was stated
that the Henry George forces believe
they now have Tammany at a disad-
vantage in this respect. They claim
that Mr.. Bryan has declined to come
in response to invitation from Tam
many, and this, they claim, is practi-
cally a triumph for Henry George.
If Mr.. Bryan were asked to come in
The interests of Henry George, and
should refuse the Georgeites argue
that it would reduce them to the level
of Tammany in Bryan's estimation.
Henry George spoke in the Ice Pal
ace on upper Lexington avenue to-
night to large and noisy audience.
From there he went to Suffers Harlem
River Casino, where 39,OOO people,
many of them ladies, were waiting for
him. Mr.. Georges appearance on the
platform was the occasion for most IN
tense enthusiasm. 1t was fifteen min
utes before the Chairman was able 10
introduce him.
At the conclusion of his address
George received a perfect tempest OF
cheers. Men 1eaped from their seats
and shouted themselves hoarse, While
the entire audience was reused to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm. Nothing
like this ovation in point of intensity
and force has ever been witnessed in
the Harlem Park.
A Republican mass meeting was hesd
in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, to-
night under the auspices of the Nc
KinIey war veterans, in the interest OF
THE ticket headed by General Tracy
In point of numbers the meeting was
hardly up to the mark of those which
have preceded it, but there was no
lack of enthusiasm. Several veterans
spoke before the arrival of Corporal
James Tanner and General Tracy, who
reached the hall late and addressed the
meeting.
Henry George to-day began his noon
day meeting for business men in Lib
erty street, near the banking district.
The meeting-roo was too small. There
was great enthusiasm when Mr.. George
rose to speak. The cheers were taken
up by the crowd on the outside, after
the noise had subsided within.
After an hours conference to-day
with all the district leaders in the Re
publican headquarters, Chairman Quigg
announced that General Tracy's elec-
ton was absolutely certain, and he

Discouraging News From the

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-The
news from the whaling fleet is discour-
aging, Nearly all the vessels have
been caught in the ice, and some OF
them may not last through the winter
Not since the winter Of 1889, when the
fleet was caught in the ice off Herald
Island, has such wholesale disaster
threatened Fourteen steamers, barks
and schooners are known to be in the
pack and only five of them are sup
posed to have more than two months
supplies aboard
A dispatch received by the Merchants
Exchange says: THE whaling steam
ers Orca and Belvidere, the whaling
steamer Rosario and the steam tender
Jeanie are frozen in to the west of
Point Barrows, and may be crushed in
the ice. There are no provisions on
the whalers, but as they are near land,
the crews may be able to reach an Es-
quimaux village"
The whaling steamers Alexander and
Kariuk arrived at Unalaska prior to
the sailing Of the British steamer Tyrol
for Victoria.

LAND DEPARTMENT.
Commissioner Hermann Submits
His Annual Report:

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-Commis-
sioner of the General Land Office Her
mann has submitted his annual report
to the Secretary of the Interior. Com
pared with the previous year, it shows
a decrease of 1928 original homestead
entries, aggregating 37S, 800 acres. In
the entire disposals of public land there
was a falling off of 5.370, 406 acres.
Touching the famous Benson surveys
in California, Commissioner Hermann
says six surveying parties under Mr..
Benson's direction are now in the field
correcting the surveys under the re-
cent agreement.
The report calls attention to the neces-
sity for some further legislative enact
ment to make sure the capital invested
in the reclamation of the arid LANDS.
Owing to the recent financial depression,
especially felt in the arid land States,
but comparatively little advancement
has been made toward reclamation.
but now, the report says, with the re-
vival of industries generally. and the
more ready supply of money for invest
ment purposes, there also has been re-
vival of the former interest in this sub
ject.
