COUNT TOLSTOI'S THEORY.
Adopts the Single Tax Theory of
Henry George.

New York, Nov. 3.-Count Tolstoi, who
has been for many years one of the most
famous social reformers in the world, his
position in the thought of Russia being
altogether unique, now SENS to abandon
the peculiar features of his own ideas of
community ownership of land in favor of
the single tax theory of Henry George.
The following cablegram from him ap-
pears in todays Journal:
London, Nov. 2.-HeEry George has
formulated the next, article in the pro-
gramme of the Progressist Liberals of the
world. I admire his spirit which was SO
Christian; his style, which was so clear,
and his metaphors, which were so strik-
ing. His ideas will spread-nay, they are
spreading. During the winter have peas
ants come to talk with me. Around the
samovar we have often discussed the fu-
ture of the land found them of two
minds. One section would give every
adult male equal portion of land and
the other would have the whole land held
by the community. cultivated and owned
in common. But when 1 explained Henry
Georges idea they all agreed that this
would be the best.
Il quite agree with George that land
lords may be appropriated without dis
honesty, without compensation, as a mat
ter of principles; but as a matter of eXpe-
diency 1 think compensation might facili-
tate the necessary change. 1t viii come,
I suppose, as emancipation came, The
idea will spread. A sense of the shame
fuIness of private ownership will grow.
Someone will write an Uncle Toms
Cabin about it. There will be agitation.
Then it will come. Many who own land
viii do as did those who owned serfs vol
UNFAIRLY give it to their tenants; but for
the rest a. loan might be arranged so as to
prevent work being stopped by the cry
of cOnfiscation-

rAMmANY's VICTORY.

The fierce political battle which has
ragged in New York for months, has
ended. and the control of the great
municipality is settled for four years
Out of the contest the Democracy
energies reunited and triumphant,
while in the Republican organization
is left a gaping wound which it viii
take years to heal Had Henry George
lived, the result might have been diff
ferent. 1t is now clear that his death
has cemented the factions of his party,
and against the union divided oppo-
sition could not prevail.
Had Senator PIatt been willing to
sacrifice personal ambition and lead his
followers to the support of Seth Low,
Tammany's defeat must have followed,
taking the vote as cast as a guide to
conclusions. PIatt was unwilling to di-
vide honors with another Republican
and preferred the success of Van Wyck
to that of Low
The Citizens Union candidate was
badly handicapped from the start. He
was the only gold standard man in the
race with any chance of success, and
was supported by Wall street and the
mOneyed interests generally. This fact
hurt him with the masses who might
otherwise have been friendly to him.
For a running mate he had Charles
S. Fairchild. who was a member of Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet, and this circum-
stance, coupled with the well known
friendship of Low and Cleveland for
each other, was made the most of by
the Tammanyites.
In addition to all this, the Tammany
managers added strength to their cause
by declaring for dollar gas and a num-
ber of other things of Importance to
the municipality.
The result is that a man compare
lively unheard of, with no sort of cred
liable record and without making a
single campaign speech, triumphs over
all competition in contest where half
a million votes are cast.

tion in it's history today. The fire start
ed in DR.. Porter's residence on Second

MONEY GAVE HIM AWAY.
Rich KIondiker Discovered by a De-
serted Wife and Daughter.

New York, Nov. "A dispatch to the
World from Poughkeepsie says:
When William Hayes returns again
from the KIondike, leaving his son there,
he will learn that two women in Texas
claim respectively to be his wife and
daughter. Hayes left Modena, Ulster
county. twenty-six years ago, after his
wife's death, leaving a baby one year
old He went to Texas, but nine years
later arrived in Alaska. He was one of
the first prospectors in the Klondike, and
has made a fortune there.
One month ago he returned to find his
son in Massachusetts. After guiding the
young man to a paying claim he intends
to return.
The Poughkeepsie police department
has just received a letter from Mrs. Eu-
gene C. Perecia of No. 20 Preston street,
Houston. Tex, in which she claims to be
the daughter of Hayes.
Her father. she says. % years ago mar
ried Emma Carroll, who is now living in
Houston, and deserted her before she

Chancellor Snow Says it was the
Warmest October in 80 Years.

Lawrence, Nov. 3.-The warmest Oc-
tober on our 30 years record, although
the temperature of the first half of the
month was surpassed in 1879 and that
of the second half in 1885 and 1894.
The mean temperature was nearly sew
en- degrees above the average. Only
three Octobers have had a higher max
imum temperature, and only three a
higher minimum. The rainfall was
greatly deficient, being less than half
the average amount. The run of wind
was much below the average, only two

COOKS INLET NOT RICH.
First Estimate of Gold Yield Reduced
to One Fourth.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 3.-SeveraI re
turning miners from Cooks Inlet, Alas
ka, arriving at Port Townsend on the
schooner Norman Sunde, have reached
this city. Their story does not agree
with the one sent out from Port Town
send in respect to the. amount of gold
brought down on the, ,Sunde. Instead
of the amount being $4,000, they say
that it viii not exceed $4,000. They dis
credit the statement heretofore made
that this years output of the Cook In
let would reach 81, 600, 900. One-quarter
of that amount. they say, would be
nearer the amount. The country is not
yet developed.
While there is no big bonanza on the
Cook Inlet, there are plenty OF paying
claims Mills creek is the best of all.
The Polly Mining company, located
there, averaged during the season with
20 men working, $1,000 a day, or $50 to
the man. Claims run all the way from
S25 to $50 a day
It is a significant fact that in Cooks
Inlet the KIondike fever is raging with
virulence, and a majority of those com
ing out intend to go to the Yukon.
On her downward trip the Sunde en-
countered a severe storm off DixOn's
entrance. She was becalmed five days
when off Cape F'lattery.
