HENRY GEORGE, JR,
Dedicntes His Life to the Cause in
Which His Father Died.

New York, Nov. 1.-Henry George,
son and successor Of the late Henry
George, has issued the following state
ment:
Il am an affectionate son Of most low
ing father. Between us has subsisted the
closest companionship..r have a clear I'M
destanding of and profound admiration for
all that he has said and done A man has
but one life here to live. l solemnly dedi-
cate mine to the cause to which my father
gave his. If elected to the exalted office
Of mayor of Greater New York l shall
hold myself pledged to fulfill every con-
dition and promise made by him, and most
especially shall l bring swift justice upon
those public thieves and corruptionists who
for so long have Haunted their deeds in
the faces of the common people whom
they have insulted and robbed. To all the
world l proclaim this: My fathers work,
as he planned and pursued it, shall be car
ried forward. without faltering or swerv-
ing. Let all who took hope at sight of his
standard keep heart and follow, for it
presses on. and shall press on and on while

HENRY GEORGE,
"Died October 20, 1897"
Profuse Floral Tributes.

At the back of the platform, on a
heavy Grape background, was a portrait
of Henry George, surrounded with
American flags. At the front of the
platform stood bust of the fallen lead
er modelled by his son Richard. At the
foot of the pedestal upon which the
bronze rested were numerous floral
tributes, including a cross, from one
arm of which hung a wreath Of white
and pink roses from Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
L. Johnson; a wreath of immortelles
and pink orchids, from Joseph Pulitzer;
roses and chrysanthemums in wreath,
from John c. Milholland.
For the first half hour the throng
fling up the hall in two's passed at the
rate of 1900 an hour, but shortly the
numbers swelled and grew until at one
time so passed each minute. At this
rate, 5000 an hour, the crowd passed I'M
til the churches emptied their audi
ences into the vast concourse which
was vending its way down from Forty
sixth street to the palace and which
filled Forty-sixth street and Third
avenue for many blocks. For the last
two hours the crowd came at the rate
of 5000 an hour. This is the highest
rate obtainable under such circum-
stances as these. Any greater celebrity
would have meant an undignified, ir-
reverential rush.
little before three o'clock the line
was stopped and those who could not
get in were compelled to turn back and
get out from the police lines. A care
full estimate of the number who could
not get in is 10000. This number is
equal to the number of those who
passed the casket. Then another
throng came-those who wished to hear
the eminent clergymen praise Henry
George. During the last hour an or
chestra played Chopin's funeral march,
Handels Largo" and "The Lost
Chord"

The Trade Situation.

New York, Oct. 30.-R. G.. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade say:
1.-THE testing of retail trade is in prog
ress, but results are remarkably retarded
by long-continued mild weather and also
by the fever in southern districts. Even
from that quarter some large orders lately
received show better distribution than was
yet expected. In spite of unsea sonably
warm weather, which greatly hinders re-
tail dealings in winter goods at all points
east of the plains, the large number of
supplementary orders, with urgent pres
sure for quick delivery, makes it clear that
the sales in many branches have exceeded
the expectation of dealers, so that re-
punishment of stock is not yet finished.
Meanwhile wholesale trade and orders to
manufacturers have been smaller than
when the rush was greatest, but have new
erthless been large for this stage, even
in year of general prosperity, for the
payments through the principal clearing
houses have for the week been 39 per cent.
larger than in the same week of 1892, and
for the month 81 per cent.
Failures for the week have been 219 in
the United States, against 27O last year,
and % in Canada, against 40 last year."

Spain's Reply to Woodford Not CAL
cuIntcd to Breed an Issue.
Washington, Oct. 29.-The Spanish re-
ply to Minister Woodford's note con-
corning Cuba has been talked of in
formally between the president and
several of the cabinet ministers, and it
may be stated positively that the adj
ministration regards the note, so far
as it's tenor is revealed by the abstract
cabled by Mr.. Woodford, as being con-
ciliatory, and not calculated to breed
an issue. 1t can also be stated that
qualification is felt that the answer was
Forthcoming within so short a period of
time after delivery of Mr.. Woodford's
note, having regard to the Intervention
of the Spanish crisis and change. The
acts already performed by the new cab
met toward correction of some of the
evils of which we complain in Cuba are
regarded as an earnest ofthe intention
of the Spanish government to faithfully
carry out the entire reform programme.
and if there should be speedy al
deviation of the .frightful condition of
the unfortunate reconcentradoes in Gu
ba through prompt revocation of
Weyler's concentration order it is felt
that our government will have little fur
Their to ask.

to Congress on Finance.
Washington, Nov. 1.-Secretary Gage,
of the treasury department, has sub

gestions are summarized thus:

tax of two per cent. per annum on unse-
cured circulation to create safety fund.

BIG SHOW CLOSED,
The Nashville Exposition Came to an
End Saturday Night.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1.-The Ten
nessee Centennial exposition closed at
midnight Saturday, the event being
heralded by the ringing of the chimes
in the Auditorium, the blowing of
whistles, the booming of cannon and
the sounding of horns in the hands of
young and old.
The total attendance at the exposi-
ton since the opening on the first day
of last May is estimated at 1,750,0OO.
President Thomas officially announced
Saturday night that the exposition will
pay out dollar for dollar, and this
promptly. The largest day of the ex-
position was President j. w. Thomas
day, October %. The attendance was
sI,493; this is nearly 10000 more than
the attendance at Atlanta on their red
letter day. The estimate of attendance
by the chief of the bureau of promotion
and publicity was 100000 and his
limit would have been surely reached
but for the senseless yellow fever scare.
Not single casualty has occurred at
the exposition during the six months
of it's existence. The order maintained
at the exposition has been simply mag
nificent.

WALKS UP TO BE SHOT.
Remarkable Honor and Nerve OF q
Condemned Indian.


Kansas City. Mo-, Nov. IA special
to the Times from Chelsea, /. T., says:
John Watka, the Creek Indian who shot
Jonas Deer, another member of his own
tribe, was legally executed for the
crime. The men were rivals for the
hand of the same girl and fought at a
dance at which she was present to de-
eide who should gain her. Watka killed
Deer and afterwards married the In
dian maiden.
Several days prior to the time prepa-
rations for his wife's future welfare
were completed, and the pain of part
ing over, Watka set out alone to the pub
lie execution grounds. In due time he
arrived; the. crowd was waiting. The
prisoner assumed his position, on bend
ed knees with arms tied behind and a
blindfold over the eyes. The rifle was
placed in the hands of good marks
man. A sharp crack, and the white
spot marked for the heart was discol-
ored with the squirting blood caused
by the deadly bullet. Late this sum-
mer Watka went to Kansas City with a
baseball nine of his fellow reds and
played game at one of the parks. He
had ample opportunity to escape, but
returned to the territory of his own
accord that his sentence might be car
ried out

and public services of Henry George.
Rabbi Galtheil spoke next. After an
other hymn by the choir, Rev. DR.. Ed
ward McGlynn spoke. Prior to his adj
dress the vast assemblage had pre-
served churchlike quiet, but the ring
ing words of DR.. McGlynn soon evoked
an outburst Of applause which could
not be repressed. DR.. McGlynn spoke
with great feeling, but his evident grief
at the loss of his old friend did not pre-
vent the display of some character
istic flights of eloquence by him. DR..
McGlynn said in part:
"The place where we meet here this
afternoon is not one dedicated to re-
ligion, or to the service Of Cod but has
generally been used for purposes of
recreation and amusement or of art. 1t
has to-day been made sacred, and we
meet here upon holy ground and stand
ashamed in the presence of a message
directed to us from the throne of God.
1t is no ordinary message. That mes
senger of death has brought to our hearts
that which has immeasurably shocked u.s.
We stand upon ground that is, made sa-
cred by the remains of man who was
raised from among us by our Father in
Heaven to spread the messages of truth
and righteousness and justice and peace
to ALL He died in a struggle for the cause
of humanity, and especially that of New
York, but it was altogether too small for
his broad mind and indomitable energy.
He was" said Father McGlynn, Simply
a seer, a prophet, forerunner sent by God
and we can say in all reverence, and in
the words of the Scriptures, that: There
was a man sent from God whose name
was John. He was sent to bear witness
of the light / believe l am not guilty of
any PROCLAMATION of the Sacred Scriptures
when / say there was n man sent from
God. and his name was Henry George"
DR.. McGlynn was here interrupted
by applause throughout the hall, and
seemed deeply affected. He alluded to
the touching eulogy bestowed upon
Henry George by DR.. Abbott as ex-
pressing what he thought of him as a
friend and brother.
John S. Crosby, who has been one of
the most active campaigners for Henry
George, was the last speaker, and the
only layman who spoke. His address
dealt with the duty of the present, in
accordance with the principles laid
down by Henry George, rather than
with mere eulogy of the dead teacher,
and evoked applause even more ener-
getic perhaps than the remarks of DR..
McGlynn. The last address was con-
cluded shortly after five o'clock, and
the meeting was dismissed.

the British government should cease the
cultivation of the poppy plant in India and

A BURGLARS MISTAKE,
After Killing the Man He Is RObbing
He Shoots Down a Friend.

Aurora, ILL.,, Nov. 1. = Peter Braun,
and his brother Harry conduct small
grocery in the outskirts of Aurora.
The store is in the same yard as their
dwelling. Between the two buildings
stands lilac bush. At ten o'clock at
night the Braun brothers closed their
store and started for the house. As
they passed the lilac bush two masked
men confronted them with drawn re-
volvers. Peter, the older brother, at
tackled one robber and was greeted by
four pistol shots. Every bullet hit, and
the grocer fell dead upon his own door
step. Harry Braun fled from the rob-
bers. The man who did the shooting
saw figure in the darkness and gave
it shot which penetrated the brain of
the human target. But the robber had
made a terrible mistake. The second
dead man proved to be his brother
highwayman. The murderer then went
to the home of Jacob Rink, half mile
distant, where he stole a horse and
wagon. The rig was found at Batavia,
seven miles away, with two revolvers on
the seat. No further trace of the MUIR
derer rewards the efforts of the police.

Panic Causes Many Deaths.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 81. = A terrible
casualty has taken place at the village
of Khnieleff, in the. Kozloff district, on
the western coast of Crimea. While
service was in progress in the village
church, an alarm of fire was raised. A
panic ensued in the crowded congre-
CATION, and the efforts of the officiating
priests to calm the ,tumult were abso-
lutely unavailing. In the stampede
for the exits 81 persons were killed by
suffocation or being trampled and so
others were seriously injured.

THE PROCESSION.
One of the Most Remarkable Ever
Seen in New York.


The procession which accompanied
the remains to Brooklyn was in many
respects the most remarkable ever wit
messed in New York. The catafalque
was a magnificent creation of black
broadcloth and at the base was ~ feet
wide. There were five, steps leading to
the top. Fl. The horses, of jet black, were
covered with black silk netting and
were led by 16 grooms. The only en-
blem on the top of the ,casket was a
small white wreath. The organizations
that paid honor to Mr.. George by fol-
lowing the funeral car fell into line
from the side streets off Madison ave-
nue. and below Forty-second street
There was some disappointment in the
small number of followers and it was
conservatively estimated that when the
party passed Thirty-fourth street on
Madison avenue there were less than
$500 men in line. There were marks of
respect all along the line. Barred heads
were the rule on both, sides of the
street and many men and women were
noticed to be crying.
1t was eight o'clock when the head
of the column rounded into Broadway
again at Fourteenth street. An ex-
pectant crowd of George worshipers
tianked Broadway at Capal street. Here
it was also noticed that there was much
weeping. The procession from that
point to City Hall park was without in
cident save for a repetition of the
scenes of grief which had been mani
tested along the entire route.
To Rest in Greenwood.
Simple private services will be held
at ten o'clock this morning at the fam
lily residence. Revs. George and Lat
timer, of Philadelphia, cousins of the
deceased and both Episcopal clergy
men, will officiate. The body will be
carried to Greenwood to be inferred in
the family lot of the Ocean hill, looking
on the Atlantic.

Armour shuts Out Cattle Competition
by Securing All Vessel Space,

ny securing All tessel space.
New York, Nov. practically all of
the outgoing room on the regular trans
Atlantic lines has been cornered by
syndicate composed of English cattle
buyers and Z. ID. Armour, of Chicago.
This means that independent cattle
shippers in this city will be shut out of
the English markets, and that the price
of beef will thereby be advanced Con-
tracts have been placed with the White
Star line by the syndicate for one year
for all the company's cattle room. 9th
err contracts have been made with the
Atlantic Transport line, of New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore for the
same length of time, and with the Ma
tional line for two years. The corner
ing of the cattle trade has led to nego
tiations for a new line of steamers te
run between New York and London.

ried recently in Paris to Mdle. Viey,
a damsel in his own sphere Of life, at the
Notre Dame de Plaisance church. Pic
quet had only asked for ninth-class
marriage, but the clergy had prepared
the church as if for first-class one and
the small building could hardly contain
the numerous Populations from life
saving and other societies. Picquet re-
cieved number of marriage presents
from persons whom he saved.

VICTIM OF FOOTBALL.
Death of n Player May XIII the Game
in Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. lyon Cannon,
one of the players on the University of
Georgia football team, died Sunday
morning from injuries received in
game between that team and the team
from the University of Virginia in this
city Saturday afternoon. Cannon
never regained consciousness after a
scrimmage at the beginning of the sec
ond half. His death has stirred preju-
dice against the game among the mem
bers of the state Legislature which is
now in session. A number of legisla-
tors expressed themselves as bitterly
opposed to the game and it is probable
that bill will be passed in a few days
making 1t a misdemeanor to engage in
q game of football in this state.
