The President Set Apart November 85

Washington, Nov. 1. President Mc-

as a good citizen I have no right to dis

consideration."
Today the cheers of the workers have
suddenly been changed to sighs, lor,
true to his words, Henry neorge, tne
apostle of the rights of man, died as he
wished to die in harness, fighting for
the cause toward the close of the
greatest municipal political contest the
world has ever seen.
Last night noisy, shouting throngs
rushed into halls and streets to hear
the speeches that in a great part were
filled with personality and bitterness,
rockets flared and fires burned, men
argued and urged, and all signB bore
witness that the oampaign was at its
height. But when today dawned all,
was changed. Men were loth to be
lieve that one who had been so much
in the public eye in the last few weeks
was no more, and for the time being
the complexion of the political situa
tion was forgotten in genuine grief.
Those who lust night bitterly de
nounced the man who said "I stand for
the real democracy, the democracy of
Thomas Jefferson," today recalled
many touohing kindly acts in ihe life
of tlie dead man, which showed his na
ture and joined in the words which
came as a reply to the lips of all:
"An honest man is dead."
This man of mighty brain and un
daunted courage was physically frail,
and the strain of an exciting campaign,
requiring speejhmaking at points many
miles apart night after night, was more
than nature could stdnd. He kept ifup
to the end, and only a few hours be
fore the dread messenger cried "Halt"
Henry George had addressed enthusias
tic audiences iu three of the towns of
the boroughs of Queens and a still
larger assemblage in an uptown hall
here. He spoke at Whitestone at 8
o'clock, and made a speeoh at College
Point and Flushing before returning to
New York to speak at the Central
opera-house. At Whitestone he drove
from the railway station to the meet
ing hall at a gallop. To the cheering
crowds he said:
"I believe that all the needed re
forms are summed up in that phil
osophythe right of every man to eat,
to drink, to speat, as lie sees ni, so
long as he does not trench on the rights
of any other man. I believe that

of the tremendous demonstration in
March, 18 J5, againBt Marie Van
Zandt, the American singer.
M. Goron. formerly a high offioial at
the prsfeotme of police, deolares that
ihe memorablo and . offensive attacks
upon ihe singer was engendered by the
followers of M. Ferry to counteract an
intended demonstration against him by
radicals and socialists after the disas
trous defeat of the French at Langson,
Annam. M. Cainorcarz, the prefect
of police of the day, was consulted as
to how to prevent the intended demon
stration against the unpopular M.
Ferry, and according to M. Goron, he
suggested a monster demonstration
agaiust M'ihs Van Zandt. All the avail
able detectives and theatrical claques
were sent to the opera oomique to howl
and hiss the American singer: When
ever there was a lull in the uproar the
crv was raised that Miss Van Zandt
was going out by another door, and so

the 914,000
Package.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 1. Postofflce
Inspector Frederick and City Detectives
LonmiB and Burlew. of this city, today
arrested, in Cheyenne, Wyo., Walter
P.. Houghton, a postnl clerk running
from Cheyenne to Ogden, on a charge
of Btealing a registered package on
taining $14,000. A telegram received
here during the afternoon stated that
Houghton had confessed the theft.
The package which Houghton is al
leged to have stolen was mailed by a
Chicago bank to a correspondent in Sac
ramento, Cal., about September 26. It
diaappea-ed somewhere en route, and
an investigation by the postal author
ities disclosed the fact that the disap
pearance occurred somewhere between
Om.iha and Ogden. The secret service
officers learned tiiat Houghton's mis
tress, who had been staying in Denver
f..r three weeks, had chancel three
tlOO bills, and, as tho $14,000 stolen
was all in $100 bills, they at once made
arrangements for Houghton s arrest.
The woman was at first taken into cus
tody, and her statements went to veri'y
the' opinion of the officers. After
Huuirhton had confessed his crimo, he
offered to refund the amount stolen,
excent $400, which ho had spent, pro
vidcil the officers would agree that he
should not be prosecuted. He declared
that if the" would not so Hgree, ti e
money would be immediately burned.
United States Commissioner T. J.
Fisher and United States District At
torney Clark both refused to aocept
Houghton's proposition. Houghton re
fused to disclose the hiding place of the
money. He was held over to the fed
eral court by Commissioner Fisher.
Any Company May Operate at St. Mich
aels Upon Obtaining the War
Department's Consent
Washington, Nov. 1. Senator Mc-
Bride, of Oregon, saw the secretraytf
war and the president today regarding
the report that the new military reser
vation in Alaska would create a mon
opoly for the two transportation com
panies now operating between that ter
ritory and points in the United States.
He was assured there was no such in
tention in the order; that no one would
be excluded from tho territory or pre
vented from engaging in any business
on the reservations. Secretary Alger
said he would telegraph the chamber
of commerce of Tacoraa to that effect.
The intention of the order was solely
that of protecting life and property in
the territory, and any company or per
son entering the territory would be
given tne same rignts ana privileges
allowed companies or persons already
opeating there
Senator MoBnde said he nau no
doubt there would be no trouble for any
persons operating in Alaska, and the
assurances of the president and secre
tary were sufficient to quiet all appre
hensions that might be felt either in
Oregon or Washington.
The first formal protest against tne
creation of the St. JUicnaels military
reservation reached the war department
from Tacoina aB follqws:
"Hon. Secretary of War We ask for
a reconsideration of your order setting
apart a military reservation at St.
Michaels, believing that should it
stand it must work to the detriment of
thousands of our citizens and give a
monopoly to the two companies vw
located there.
"Citizens' Committee, Tacoma,
"By George Brown, Secretary."
Secretary Alger made the following
reply:
"Telegram received. The military
reservation at St. Michaels was estab
lished in the interests of the security
of life and property, the preservation
of order and the protection of legiti
mate business interests. No monopoly
was given or intended to any company
or persons. Any proper company or
person who desires to conduct a legiti
mate business there will, on applica
tion to the war department be given
permission to do eo."

The news announcements of the week
have been uniformly favorable to high

cate less than an average acreage seeded

tracted drought, which has been broken
only in certain sections of the winter
wheat belt. Receipts at primary points
are falling off and promise from this on
to prove smaller than last year." Ex
port clearances continue large, 6,991,

largely in excess of our exportable sur
plus weekly. The export demand shows
no Bigns of diminution. On the con
trary, it is urgent and increasing, ine
last few days of the week having re
sulted in very large sales for export.
Foreign advices continue extremely
bullish. The reports of our own con
suls in Europe more than confirm the
maximum estimates of European im
port requirements. Advices from Lon
don assert that Mediterranean ports are
outbidding England for Russian wheat.
The French chamber of deputies has
been petitioned to reduce the import
duty on wheat, and some action in this
direction will probably be taken sooner
or later, although not necessarily at
present, Russian advices, although al
ways unreliable and largely mythical,
are" extremely bullish and must neoes

The Argentine crop is still an unknown
quantity. Reports are conflicting.
Drought conditions have prevailed.
Locusts have caused some damage, and
in the absence of reliable reports it can
not be assumed that the crop will be a
large one in yield. Local speculative
conditions are extremely favorable for
higher values. Stocks on contract grain
are very small, practically exhausted,
and there is no immediate prospect of
their being replenished. We can dis
cover nothing in the situation at home
or abroad warranting any declines in
values, and would regard any decline as
but temporary, unwarranted, and
therefore a good speculative opportun
ity to buy wheat, the final outcome of
which we anticipate to be much higher
prices.
time since for Dawson City, and got no
further than St Michaels, and Edward
Hamilton, the journalist.
There has been no reoent communi
cation with Dawson City, the Yukon
being impassable, but the latest infor
mation received from Fort Yukon,
which now constitutes the base of sup
plies, is to the effect that the people
are swarming out of Dawson City and
Circle City by every possible means to
escape suffering and possible starva
tion. Small boats can still be used on
portions of the Yukon, and in one of
these an agent for the Alaska Commer
cial Company came down from Circle
City to Fort Yukon He confirms 1b
reports of a great scarcity of provisions
at all the mining camps. Those who
suoceed in getting out in time will be
very fortunate, for hunger will surely
be the fate of most of the midwinter
dwellers in the Klondike.
The rnsh to escape from the gold
fields exceeds the influx, and the indi
cations are that a large colony will
winter at Fort Yukon.
Captain Higgins, of the Exoelsior,
eonflrms the news of the probable loss)
of a portion of the whaling fleet, bo.
can add no details to those brought
down by the Thrasher. He also tells
of the rescue of the men of the Nevarcb.
from an ice floe, but says there were IS
saved, and not 14, as at first supposed.
It is not expected that much, if any,.
gold will come down this season, un
less some cf the miners succeed in
reaching sailing points by land routes
from the interior. Sam Wall and
some other newspaper correspondents
got as far as Cirole City, 80 miles from
Dawson, but were obliged to retraoa
their way to Fort Yukon, where food ia
obtainable. They may romain ther
until spring, but it is more likely, if
opportunity offers, that they will try
to reach St Miohaols and return bomst
to recuperate for a fresh start next
spring. Captain Higgins Bays it un
worse than folly for any one to go t
Alaska now.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 1. A son was
born to the household of Grover Cleve
land, the former president of the
United States, at noon today. It is
said that the new-oomer resembles his
parents in point of good health, but
neither Mother Cleveland nor the threa
family physicians will say anything in
regard to the new-comer other than
that he is getting along nicely and is a
fine boy. All the afternoon Mr. Cleve
land has received at his home the many
callers who wished to pay their respects
to him in honor of the occasion. Prince
ton undergraduates have taken a great
interest in the new Princetonian.
On the college bulletin board in front
of Reunion hall was posted this notice:
