LOVING TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD. Thirty Thousand People View the He mains at Grand Central I'aTace, and ns Many More Are Turned Away Dr. McGlynu's Eloquent Address. "j - New York. Oct. 30. Henry George, author of "Progress and Poverty" and candidate of the Thomas Jefferson De mocracy for mayor of New York, died at 4:50 o'clock yesterday morning in the Union Square hotel of cerebral apoplexy. In his great Cooper Union speech accepting the nomination for mayor, less than a' month ago, he said: III make this race if; it costs my life. This is a call to duty: anrl good citizen I have no risht to di srp. gard it on account of mere personal consideration." True to his word. Henrv fiporfp. apostle of the rights of man, died as ne wisnea to die m harness, fighting for the cause-toward the close of the greatest municipal political contest the oria nas ever seen. The end was w V ;w f - HENRY GEORGE, peaceful, and he died without pain. This man of mighty brain and un daunted courage was physically frail, and the strain of an exciting campaign requiring speechmaking at points many miles apart, night" after night, Avas more than he could stand. He kept up to the end, and only a few hours be fore the dread messenger cried halt Henry George had addre-sed enthusi astic audiences in three -.of the towns of the borough of Queens and a still larger assemblage in an uptown hall here. Henry George; Jr., tir "son of the dead leader, was prompt' v placed in nomination as his father' successor, and promptly accepted. New York, Nov. 1. The body ' of Henry George lay in stata yesterday in the Grand Central Palace, and 30. C00 people reverently passed the casket and looked upon the face of the dead philosopher. From" 9 o'clock in the morning until 3' in the afternoon a steady stream of men, women and chil dren poured into the hall. The immense throng was composed of repiesentatives of all classes, of all shades of life, and of all religious opin ion. On every face was stamped the unmistakable signs, cf sinc ere - regret, while hundreds of faces were draw n with sullei ing and pain. To thousand:- of" those who passed by, Henry George was personally kno wn, and it was' there who lingered for a longer moment tc gaze again on t he fac e of the man whom to know was to love. Some of them wept. For the first half hour the throng filing up the hall in twos passed at the rate of 1,500 an hour, but shortly the numbers swelled and grew until at one time .80 passed each minute.. At this rate, 5,000 an hour, the crowd passed until the churches emptied their con gregations into the vast concourse. For the last two hours the crowd came at the rate of 6,000 an hour. This is the highest Tate obtainable under such cir cumstances as these. Any greater ce lerity vould have meant an undigni fied, irreverential rush. A little before 3 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 careful es timate of the number who could not get in places it at 30,000. Before 3 o'clock .the people were per mitted to occupy the seats in the hall. The front seats of the main part of the hall were reserved for the intimate friends of the deceased, the pallbearers and the ushers. All the- rest of the main floor was open to the crowd, and it took but a short time to fill the hall. The reserved seats to the left were occupie'd ' by the pallbearers and the ushers. The pallbearers were: Tom 1 Johnson, August Levis, Andrew Mc Lean, Thomas G. Shearman, Arthur McEwen, Louis Fl Post, Jerome O'Neill and Charles Frederick Adams. The honorary pallbearers, som,e of whom sat - on the platform, included Mayor Yv'illiam L. Strong of New York, Mayor Frederick W. Wurster of Brook lyn, Charles W. ; Dayton, George Cary Egglestbn, Horace White and John Swinton. Mayor Strong sat at the center cf the platform, and he was surrounded by a number of the more distinguished persons present. Behind the mayor sat Seth Low, with Colonel George E. War ing by his side.. The exercises began at 3:25 with the singing of the hymn "Lead, Kindly Light," by the Plymouth church quar tet. Rev. Dr. R. Heber Newton, who was Mr. George's warrn personal friend as' well as pastor, then read the burial service. Dr. Newton qiid not wear his priestly robes, and heVhad no t-eading desk. The service was, therefore, in a way entirely informal, there being also no responses. It was, however, the regular burial service of the Episcopal church. At the conclusion of the burial ser vice F,ev. Dr. Lyrhan Abbott spoke briefly upon the character and public' services of Henry George. He was fol lowed by Rabbi Gotthal, Father Mc Glynn and John S. Crosby.-The latter has. been one of the most active Henry George campaigners, and was the only layman who spoke. A" of the addresses were eloquently, eulogistic of the dead Tfce fac simile ligaature at OASTORIA. is 03 . eery leader, and were listened to witn rapt attention. Prior to the address of Rev. Edward MeGlynn the vast assemblage had pre served a church like quiet, but the ring ing words of the priest evoked an out burst of applause whic h could nnt be re pressed. Dr. MeGlynn spoke with great feeling, but his evident grief at the loss of his- old friend did not prevent the display., of some characteristic flights of eloquence by him. In the course of his address Dr. MeGlynn said: 'The place wheie we meet here this afternoon is j not one dedicated to re ligion or to the service of God, but has generally been used for purposes of rec reation, for amusement, or art. It has today 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. We stand upon ground that is made sacred by the remains of a man who was raised from among us by our Father in Heaven to spread themes sages of truth and righteousness and justice and peace to all. - "He died in a struggle for the cause of humanity, especially that of New York, but it was altogether too small for his broad mind and indomitable energy. The struggle in which he has always been engaged was for the rights of man -and for justice to all. I be lieve I am hot guilty of any profana tion of the sacred scriptures when 1 say there was a man sent from God, and his' name M as Henry George." The eulogies uttered, the day gone, the streets became filled with people, who wished to see the funeral cortege as it passed in solemn procession down New York's greatest , streets, thence across Brooklyn bridge, thence through Brooklyn's great streets to the Brook lyn city hall. There the public gave over the body to the family, and the casket was taken to the modest home in Fort Hamilton, from which they were borne to their final resting place in Greenwood this morning. At the lowest estimate 125,000 people saw the casket as it wended its way to that point where the public was compelled to stand aside in reverence and sympathy, while the family claim ed its own. FATHER AND SON. Life Sketches of Henry Georire mid 11 is lol I tieal Successor. Henry George was born in Philadel phia on Sept. 2, 1S39, the oldest son of eight children. His father, R. S. H. George, was a publisher of Episcopal books. He went to a private school for children, then to a public school, then to a Protestant Episcopal acad emy, and back to a high school, from which he was graduated at the head of his class when 13 years of age. This ended his schooling. He worked as office boy in "a crockery house, and then took a sea voyage as cabin boy. Then he learned the trade of. printer in New York; and in 1S57 he again Went to sea, this time before the mast, his destination being California. On reaching San Francisco he joined a party of miners, but was unsuceesu ful as a gold seeker arid' returned to, the printer's case at San Francisco. While working, at the case he w rote anonymous letters on public questions, which attracted attention. Dr. Gunn, editor of the San Francisco Times, set a watch at a letter box to learn who the author of the' letters was. When he caught .George he offered him a place on the staff. The young man accepted and worked his way up until he became managing editor. His business as edi tor took hi pi .to New Yoik on a trip, and while there he was impressed whir the luxury of the rich and the misery of the poor ;f the .metropolis. His im pression was the seed of "Progress and Poverty;" lie wrote the book in 1S79. and,as he could got no publisher for it, set the type for the first edition with his own hands,- aided by his son and namesake, now nominated for mayor. Later llint.n. of San Francisco, pub lished an edition in California, and then the Appletons brought one out in New York. Jvegan Paul, of London, pub lished a large edition, but' the -books lay piled in the publisher's cellar until the author, as correspondent from Ire land cf the Irish World, was arrested by order of the English government. After that Kegan Paul had to run off more books. Mr. George followed up his success, with a book called "The Irish Land. 'Question." In 1884-85 Mr. George lectured on economic subjects in Great Britain and Ireland. Meantime "Progress and Pov erty" was being .read by the labor lead ers of America, and when the mayor alty campaign c:f lS86 opened they were ready to accept him and no other as their candidate. Tlie campaign, was one cf the most exciting in the Kistory of New York. It led to -the practical excommunication of Father MeGlynn, the eloquent priest, who stumped .for George in opposition to the commands of Archbishop Corrigan. Father Me Glynn was subsequently reinstated and cent to a pastorate at NeWburg, N. Y. In this election . George polled 68,000 votes, the Democratic candidate re ceiving 90,000 and the Republican 60,030. Whi:e publishing a paper in Sacra mento, Cal., which was not a success, Mr. George married an Australian lady. Tliey have two sons and tvo daughters. In addition to his famous work on "Progress and Poverty" Mr. George was the author of "Our Land and Land Policy," published in 1S71; "The Irish Land Question," 1SS1; -'Social Prob lems," 1SS3; "Property in Land," a con troversy with the Duke of Argyle, ISSi; "The Condition of Labor," an open let ter to Pope Leo XIII, 1891 and "A Perplexed Philosopher" (Herbert Spen cer), 1S32. Henry George, Jr., who is named by the Jeffersonian Democracy as the mayoralty candidate in succession to Ills father, was born in Sacramento, Cal., in 18J2. He was educated in the public schools of San Francisco. He was taksn from school and put, to work in a printing office, and helped to set type for "Progress and Poverty." He came east with his father in lSSO. In 18S8 he went to England as his father's private S2cretary. - After his return he was employed for some time on the edi torial staff of Truth, a daily paper then published in this city. Afterward he was ass istant to the late James Red path, when the latter was editor of The North . American Review. When The Standard was founded by his father, as the recognized exponent of the single tax movement he became managing editor of the paper, holding that position until 1S91. Then he went to Washington as special correspond ent for a number of western papers. In 3892 he spent six months in England as correspondent of several prominent American dailies. 1 lii ITCH SPANISH Did 11M 11 )I V hi. It Li 13 ot Causing Alarm Among the Government Officials HOT AIT OFFENSIVE DOCUMENT. Our Government Will Let the Matter Rest Until Con jrre.ss Meets, Glvlntr Sastxtars Government Ample Time .to Perfect Its Plans in Cuba. Washington, Oct. 2S. The event of yesterday at the state department was the receipt of the long expected cable gram from United States Minister Woodford, at Madrid, transmitting the answer cf the Spanish government to his representations in the interest of peace in Cuba. There were a little less than a thousand words in the mes sage, for Mr. Woodford, instead of ca bling the whole of the Spanish answer to his note, had contented himself with reducing the matter to a brief outline. The first copy was taken at edce to the president, not being entrusted to a messenger, but beir.g delivered by Chief Clerk Michaels in person at the White House. After due opportunity hi d been allowed the president to read the mes sage an application was made for a statement of its contents or nature. This was declined by Secretary Por ter, and it was said that under no cir "cumstances would the correspondence be made public before consideration by the cabinet. From unofficial information that has reached administration officials in ad vance of this measure of Mr. Wood ford's as to the nature of the Spanish reply it is evident that in neither lan guage nor subject matter is the com munication likely to be taken as offen sive by our government. It hfiay be, it is true, regarded as insufficient to meet the issue presented by Mr. Woodford in his note, but officials of the' state department say that, in view of what has already been accomplished by the new Spanish cabinet in reforming abuses in Cuba, in removing Weyler and in projecting what appears t o be a liberal measure of autonomy, our gov ernment will certainly rest, at least until congress assembles, and afford the new Spanish government reason able time to carry out its plans. ' Vice Consul General Springer, at Ha vana, has telegraphed the state depart ment that the Spanish authorities have pardoned Frank Agramcnte and Tomas Julio Saenz, two American citizens who have been imprisoned at Santiago de Cuba ' since June, 1895. There are now probably less than half a dozen Americans held prisoners in Cuba, ex clusive of the Competitor crew. THE BIGGEST AUCTION. Undo Sam Soils Out His Claim Against Union Pacific TO EEOEGAMZATION COMMITTEE ATKINSON DENOUNCES LYNCHERS Georgia's Governor Would Arm Pris oners to Prevent Their Mnrdfr. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 28. Mob law was severely Condemned by Governor- At kinson in his message to the "G'-orgia' legislature, which convened here yes terday. The message bristled with a scorching and sensational attack upon the lawless spirit that fosters the lynch law in this state. i He says, that to exterminate the prac tice cf lynching, the 'crime must be made odicus and shamefuL He advocates stringent legislation against rhebs, and. insists that the leg islature pa.ss a law laying every county wherein such a crime is committed to a large indemnity to the relatives of the mob's victim. The northern lynchers are spoken of by the. governor. On this subject he says: "There is ncr'excuse to say that the northern people. Who have less to pro voke it, lynch. Let us not take them as a standard, but rather show a high er type of civilization n our state and erect here a standard to which they may aspire." - The governor says he is in favor of the arming of the prisoners and allow ing them to protect themselves from mobs. Ho Emerges From a Money Deal With -Ills Xepliews Without Leav ing Iiehlud Him Nearly All lie Ad vanced i-'or the Scheme. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1. At 11 o'clock this morning, down in a dingy freight house on the Omaha flats, there was a financial transaction that in two re spects is a record breaker. It was the largest auction sale of which history makes mention, and Uncle Sam emerg ed from a money deal with his nephews without leaving behind him nearly all he advanced for the scheme. About J58.C00.CC0 will be paid by the reorganization committee for the line of the Union Pacific from Council Blufi.3 to Ogden. There was but one bid, and that was the offer of the re organization committee. The actual selling of the road was made in this manner: Master in Chan cery Cornish announced that the" road was to be sold under the 'foreclosure of the 'lien of the government of the United States. He then read a decla ration of the road, giving the mileage, number of cars, locomotives, buildings and other property in the possession of the receivers. Mr. Cornish an nounced that the minimum bid tobe accepted was the maximum of the gov ernment's claim. Attorney W7inslow S. Pierce offered the amount of the re organization committee, and Mr. Cor nish waited to see if anybody cared to make it $60,000,000, and as nobody did so he declared the sale made to the re organization committee, and turned over the check of the committee de posited with him to guarantee its bid to'the representatives of the gov ernment, and the matter was closed. The payment of 'the full amount over and above the guarantee check will be made at some future date to be ar ranged between the reorganization and the government. It will, , however, be within a short time. Tomorrow will be held the second sale under the foreclosure of the mort gage securing the holders of the con struction bonds. The reorganization committee will of necessity by the pur chaser. . None of the members of the committee are disposed to talk of the sale or the probable line of action that will be pursued afterward.' It is likely - that the ro.ad will for a time be left in the hands of the receivers, unless it has been decided who shall be the managing officer of the, new company. No serious thought has been given to this matter as "yet, but it is certain that if Mr. Clark desires to be president of the road, as he was before the re ceivership, he can .have the position. If he will accept it is not likely that any other name will lie considered. Why not profit by experience of oth ers. Thousand of grateful men and women have, been rendered healthy and happy by the use of Fkkricv.ka (Sweet Chin Tonic with Iron), a skill coml inalion of the most approved rem edies, which will promptly cure any case of Chills and Fever.

The sory pub lished in a Washington paper that Gen eral, Fithugh Lee and Governor O'Fer rall' had declared in favor of sound money in 1896 at the instance of Sec retary Carlisle has attracted very con siderable attention in political circles here. The sound money men of Vir ginia time and again appealed to Gen eral Lee to come to their help and write something that couki be used in their interest, but if he ever wrote any such letters they were personal communi cations. Within the past ten days gen eral Lee has declared that he believea j in majority rule in party affairs. He has been asked if he had been here dur ing the presidential election if he would have voted fcr Bryan. His answer, it is understood, was that he would, while differing from that candidate and his platform on many questions. Gover nor O'Ferrall, when shown the article in the 'Washington paper, said: ' If there is no more truth in the story about Geuerai Lee and Captain Wise than there is abcut me, it is a fabrica tion out of the whole cloth."

From the ship Polaria, stranded at Cape Henry, about 100 tons of freight have been taken off. Tbe tug J. D. Jones took the ves sel in tow and started to Norfolk, but the quarantine officials directed that she be left in their care. The reason for this action is that there is a quar antine on at the capes against Galves ton, from which port the Polaria sailed. She is apparently not injured from her experience, and after the quarantine officers are done with her she will take on coal at Lambert's Point and con tinue on her voyage to Hamburg. Nashville, Oct. 30. The Tennessee centennial exposition, which closed to day, has been a success. Not that , great success which was merited by the scope and artistic beauty of the ex position in all its appointments, but still a success, and a remarkable one, considering the disadvantages under which the management has labored. July and August were unusually dry and hot, and the yellow fever far south of Nashville has, during the past two months, kept thousands of northern visitors away from, the exposition. But when the gates closed they had registered 1,700,000 visitors. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 27. A whole regi ment of Uncle Sam's soldiers is lost.
