LAST HONORS PAID.
Remains Of the Late Henry George
Viewed by Thousands.
The Obsequies Are Simple But I'M
pressive-Dr. McGIynn's EuloGy
over His Dead Friend EvOkes
Applause from Hearers.

New York, Nov. 1.-The body of
Henry George lay in state Sunday in
the Grand Central palace, and $4,000
people reverently passed the casket
and looked upon the face of the
dead philosopher. From nine o'clock
in the morning till three in the
afternoon a stream of men, women
ind children poured into the hall. The
immense throng was composed of rep
resentatives of all classes of all shades
of life, and of all religious opinions. On
every face was stamped the unmistak-
able signs of sincere regret, while hun
dreds of faces were drawn with suffer
Ing and pain.
Appearance of the Remains.
At nine o'clock the doors opened, and
Immediately several hundred persons,
who were in waiting without, entered
the hall with bowed heads. They saw
al the head of the hall in an immense
bower of floral tributes, plain, heavy,
black, cloth-covered casket resting on a
dais. Through the glass they saw the
remains of the great man reposing
calmly, his features unrutfled, as if in
sleep. The left arm rested lightly on
the breast, the other by the side. The
remains were clad in black broadcloth,
q rundown collar and plain black tie.
The casket itself was devoid of any
ornament save the heavy silver handles
and the plate, which read:

ONLY ONE MAN TO GUARD.
A Great Victory Won by the Miners
Mt DilIOnvaIe, w. Va.

Cleveland, July 9.-The coal miners in
| the Wheeling and Lake Erie district won
Il great victory today. Col. Byron Il.
Herrick, the receiver for the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railway, received private dis
patch today saying that only one man
went to work at DillOnvale. This is the
place where the receiver for the Wheeling
and Lake Erie decided to make the test.
Mr.. Herrick said that he was led to be-
lieve that the men wanted to work, and
therefore secured protection for them. He
! expected 1000 miners would go to the
mine, and was considerably astonshed to
learn that only one man reported. Iwen-
protect the miners.
The full force of this intelligence can be
appreciated when it is stated Cleveland
manufacturers and shippers expected that
if matters came to the worst the district
known as the Wheeling and Lake Erie
would supply them. This means to Cleve-
land now a practical tie-up of all the
Cleveland operators. Mr.. j. B. Seerbee,
president of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
Coal company is the most sanguinary. He
thinks the strike will be over in few
days. and thinks that the officers of the
United Mine Workers are only making Il
grand stand play.
He says of the situation:
'"The trouble with the mining business
and the cause of meagre wages is the
ovcrplus Of men. The introduction of
machinery has increased by 40 per cent
the output Until 40 per cent of the
miners find other employment there is
bound to be ameagre wage rate"

there and will visit several of the river

Telegrams and letters of an encourag-
ing nature from the district presidents
i'm this district are pouring into the
miners headquarters. One of these,
written by a miner on the Wheeling d.
vision of the Baltimore and Ohio COM
5 Mains that the operators are taking I'M
fair means to whip their men. The
writer alleges that they are influencing
the boarding house keepers to issue at

fhe small amounts they owe, and are
also threatening the men having families

If they do not return to work.
Preacher Green, the miner who was
chairman of the meeting at the Forty
Foot cut, Snowden, yesterday was again
in the field last night, and presided at

made and resulted eventually in a
unanimous vote favOring the strike.
In n letter to Secretary Warner, Green
stated that the whistle for the men to

Pittsburg, Pa, July 9.-The situation
OF the miners strike tonight shows but
little direct change from yesterday,

incidents leading up to the decisive action
in the future.

strikers today was the securing of con-

N of them the supreme efforts for wage

President Batchford to make connection
in reaching the city, the conference was
not begun until p. m. An adjournment
was taken at midnight and a general
statement was given to the press.
1t is known that concerted action at
once to make the suspension of mining
in Western Virginia complete, which
move, if successful, will kill off the most
effective enemy the strikers have to en-
counter. 1t was this field that broke the
strike in 1894, and no effort will be
spared to bring it into subsection at this
time
To supplement the conference of this
evening, special meeting of the labor
league of the state has been called for
Sunday night in this city, at which
further means of support will be devised.
The operators, in the meantime. are
viewing the conditions calmly and pro.

PROFESSOR WINSTON SPOKE.
Last Day Of the National Education
al Convention

Milwaukee, July 9.-The convention of
the National Educational association
came to close tonight. George r..
Winston. president of the Texas Univer-
sity, spoke on 'Higher Education in the
South"
The report of the committee on resolu-
tons was then read. In substance the
report is az follows:
THE National Educational association
aflirms its answering allegiance to the
highest ideals of our public educational
system; stands for sound training, thor
ough discipline and good citizenship. 1t
emphasizes in particular at this time the
duty of the school to the COM
munity that it represents; demands
that school administration in all its de-
partments shall be wholly free from po-
litical influence and dictation of every
sort; appeals to educated public opinion
and to the press of the country to en-
force this demand. 1t believes the public
schools are increasing in efficiency as the
tenure of teachers is made longer and
more secure; believe it to be the duty as
well as the opportunity of the American
college to- open it's doors to the largest
number of students possible.
After the induction of the president
elect, Mr.. James NJ. Greenwood, the
convention adjourned sine die.

state of the strike in this district +

state of the strike in this district as
about complete With the exception of
| the pits of the New York and Cleveland
| company, four or five small mines and
| several others in the fourth pool, it
seems that the officials are having more
| trouble in getting miners of the upper
river section out than in any other por-
be made this week by President Dolan to
get all the river diggers in the move
ment. BY his efforts yesterday the
| miners at Whitsett and West Newton
left their posts
Some of the reports from the Monon-
| gahela river district indicate that many
of the miners of that section are weak
! ening and that some have already re-
| turned to work, with prospects of more
following their example before long. This
condition of affairs is causing much eX-
| element in the valley.
A special from Fayette county says:
Crowds of idle miners are gathering
| and unless the miners of these places in
operation lay down their tools at once
| it is said a march of miners, with brass
band leading, will be made from here and
every man will be persuaded to quit
| work. The miners are in deadly earn
| est, and will not rest until every digger
| comes out and joins in the general
strike. The serious condition of affairs
| in the valley has been made known to
| the miners of this district and they will
probably arrange a mass meeting at
| some point in this vicinity within the
next forty-eight hours
The officials of the United Mine
Workers. both local and national. realize
| that this is a crucial time in the strike
| movement, with the greatest interest
centered in the Pittsburg district. Her
culean efforts will be made to get out
all the working river miners. Much de-
ponds upon their success. and in fact it
will likely be the turning point in the
movement.

GALVESTON RATE WAR.
The Mallory and Lone s mr. Lines Are
Fighting in Earnest.

Fighting In Earnest.
New York. July THE rate war be-
tween the Mallory line and Southern
Pacific on the one hand. and the Lone
Star line ON the other. between this city
and Galveston has begun In earnest and
between now and Saturday, when the
first steamer of the latter company leaves
this port. there is likely to be series of
sweeping rate reduction. Taking effect
last Monday, the Mallory company issued
a tariff of class rates to Galveston which
involved cut of 80 per cent. The South
cru Pacific. which Is in sympathy with
the old competitor, followed by reducing
its rates to the same level, and these two
lines are waiting to see what the Lone
Star concern will do. Mondays cut was
the second in the regular Galveston tariff,
the first having been inaugurated three
weeks ago. and it related to commodity
rates. The reduction then was 30 per
cent below the regular tariff, and the re-
suit was increased business for the Nal
lory and Southern Pacific companies. SO
far the Lone Star line has not met the
cuts of its rivals. It has fixed go cent
class rate 10 Galveston, 20 cents higher
than its competitors and it was said today
that IL had secured considerable business
on that basis. 1t was semi-ofiicially stated
that its steamer would leave port loaded
and that fact is thought to have forced the
Mallory into making the latest cut. So
far the fight is confined to Galveston, but
connecting railways Mt that port insist on
full local rates for their haul.

Hottest Day This Year-There Was
No Comfort to BE Found.
Chicago, July 9.--Of all the hot days
that have made life burden since the
warm weather of 1897 began this was
the worst. There were more deaths of
human beings and of animals, and the
number of prOstrations was greater than
upon any other day of the long hot spell
that has hung over Chicago. Sixteen
people are dead from the heat, two are
insane and out of a large number of

Out in the BridewelI, where seven
prisoners went insane yesterday because
of the heat, two others suffered the same
fate today. The night was a sizzling
horror. There was comfort to be found
nowhere; it was the hottest night Chi
cago has ever known. The mercury
was 81 at midnight, although near the
lake it sank to 80 at a. m. The de-
crease in the temperature was more than
offset by an increased humidity, which,
through the night and day, made the dis
the record of the thermometer. BY 7
a. IN. the mercury in the weather Office
had climbed to "a, and there was a
steady Overpowering bull movement until
3 p. M, when 96 degrees was reached.
The day was especially severe on
horses, over 100 dying in the streets
