organized labor on the board of directors ,
was also Instrumental In the Ifesuanco of the
bond manifesto and believed that the nsaur-
unco of Ueraldlno's withdrawal made It pos-
oilile.
IJ , U. Egan , a member of the strike com-
i' t mltteo of the Carpenters' union , stated his
belief that yesterday's action In the directors'
meeting would pass the bonds If anything on
earth could avail to do it. "If Geroldlno
could have gone long ago , " ho said , "thu
trouble of the carpenters would never have
arisen. "
Superintendent Scott of the Labor temple
aaid that 11 was easily apparent that the
retirement of the general superintendent
would change the verdict on the bonds from
"no" to "yes. " Ho stated that the figures
at his command Justllled him In saying that
It would make a change of [ i.OOO votes in
the ranks of labor alone. NTot only that , hut
ho estimated that $20,000 would shortly como
In on delinquent stock asseMiiieutH from
these who owned small numbers of shares.
Tucker Turner of the Dullding Trades'
coiin-ll said that the building trades tad nat
urally been In direct contact with the expo-
Billon management and felt as none others
could thu Injustice and favoritism of the
general superintendent. It wan his opinion
that the change of rule would make not only
the bond issue certain , but would brighten
ttio outlook In numberless other ways.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 20. ( Special Tolo-
gram. ) Supervising Architect Tnylor opened
bids today for the erection and com
plete construction of the govern
ment building at On-.ilia next year.
Fifteen bidders signified their desire
to do the work , the bids ranging froui $ J1-
250 to $ ? 5.Tol. Omaha bidders were largely
In tlic majority , Peter Soudenbcrg bidding
$51,250 ; C. W. Partridge , $58.797 ; E. C.
Wakctleld , 159,515 ; Henry Hamann , 100,432 ;
A. W. Phjlps & Son , $63,325 ; Walter Peter
son , $63.400 ; P. H. Mahancy , JG4.207 ; Goldlo
Brothers , $61,000 ; Bassctt & Perclvul , JGS.750 ;
Counsmnn & Glvln , $74,450 ; Hamilton Broth
ers , $75,574. Other bids camp from Meridian ,
Miss. , Nashville , Tcnn. , nnd Chicago.
Supervising Architect Taylor , In tpeaklng
of the bids mid he was greatly astonished
at the large amounts naked for construction
of the building , In view of the fact that con
gress has appropriated but $ "iO,000 for the
building. It wnrf the hope of the ofilclals In
the supervising architect's odlco that the
bid for construction of the bul'dlngould
bo at a figure which would permit the con-
utruction of the life saving service building
within the amount appropriated by congress ,
But if the contiactors cannot see their way
clotr to construct the building on the plans
as laid down , cither the life saving service
muot go by the board or clso an additional
appropriation must be asked from congress
for the life saving service. ArchitectTaylor
Intimated that there were a number of alter
native propositions Included In the Bpeclfl-
oitlons which would have to bo applied to
bids scaling them down to meet the ap
propriations. One .bid might como within
the limit' set by congress. It will be nec
essary , however , to recast thu bids , and this
will be done at once In order that now
bids may bo Invited should It bo found nec
essary. Soudmbcrg agrees to complete the
building in five and a half months from the
tlmo of securing the contract. This was
about the length of time all the contractors
wanted In which to erect the structure.
There were five bids for poster casts , all by
Washington contractciv , Fred R. Lcmler ,
being the lowest , $2.2.0 It this amount Is
added to Soudc.iberg's bid which Is $1,250
over the government appropriation , It will
be seen that both bids are ? 3,500 , above
the limit s-et by congrrfs.

To Mrs. Henry drome Allow me to ex

To Mr . Henry OorRo 1 ilreply sympa
thize with you and your family in the great
loss you have Html.ilned.
JOHN C. SHKEHAN.
Mr. Croker declined to express an opinion
as to what would be the effect politically of
Mr. George's death.
In response to a number of reporters who
called at Senator Plait's olllco today to ask
him what 10 had lo say about Mr. George's
death ho sent out the following :
"I am too busy ; 1 have really nothing to
say. "
.Mr. Low said : "Tho sudden deith of Mr.
George under the stress of the campaign Is
a great tragedy. No soldier of the battle
field over gave hUs life for his country more
evidently than Mr. George has laid down
his llfo In behalf of the city of New York.
Pure In motive , high , minded , absolu'ely de-
vote.l lo tne services of his fcllowmen as IIP
thought they could best be scnod. he has
fallen In the thick of the battling against the
tyranny and corruption of one man who con
trols the political machine , and thus deprives
the people at once of Ihe'lr rlgh.s as fiee
men and of control of the government of the
city In the public Interests.
"I would like to avail of this opportunity
to cxnroVs to the family of Mr. George my
sincere sympathy In'their Irreparable loss.
"During the campaign Mr. George repeat
edly recognized'that fundamentally this Is .1
fight agaliwt boftUm'bnd ' all that this 'Implies
In political degradation and corruption. In
view of Mr. Gpaige'rf1 death I wish to further
say to the people of the city thai I shall give
mjBelt to this contest In tlu-ir behalf with anew
now and higher resolve , as though I i.vl re
ceived It as a'last ' charge fratn his dying
lips. " i '
The campaign1 committee of thp Citizens'
union unanimously cassed a rcsolutiou de
ploring the death of Henry George , In whom
the committee recpgnize-d 'M pure , high-
minded iran , an urac'lllhli patriot and a brave
and uncompromising champion of the pee
ple's rights against political tynai.uy mid
corruption. " The resolution tenders to Mr.
George's family i "our- sincere condolence nnd
to his followers thcT generous symi.'Uhy of
soldiers In the same battle for political free
dom. " < f . . . r ,
Chairman Qulgg of the republican county
committee said ho would make no state
ment until hu knew what position would \K \
taken by the. George democrats. Houb
very reticent regarding the death of Mr.
George.
Richard Croker said of Mr. George's death :
"Nothing has given mo greater sorrow dur
ing my political life than the death of Henry
George. 1 believe ho has been a falling nun
for some time , .and I am sorry his frienids
permitted him to go into this canva.ss. Ills
family 1-as my most earnest sympathy. I
never met Henry George , and did not know
him even by sight. Please say for me that
I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. "
Rev. K-Jward McGlynn reached the Union
Square hotel shortly before 11 o'clock. ThJ
dispatch which summoned him merely an
nounced that a "de-ar friend" was dead , but
hearing In mini his oun premonitions and
the premonitions tlint Ilunry George had
confided to him he concluded rightly that
b's ' great associate In the single tax battle
of other years had expired. At the hotel he
was met by Henry George , Jr. When he
was taken Into the room whrro his fripnd
lay dead ho burst Into tears. Thp scene was
a iltstroslng one. Afterward Dr. 'McGlynn '
said. "Heu.ry George died as Abraham Lin
coln died. Lincoln was assassinated jnat
after his great work of saving the union was
consummated. It was said that he was
mercifully srnred the petty annoyances and
bickerings of the reconstruction period.
Henry George was struck down by fate In
the zenith of hie powers. But the great
work that he Inaugurated will go on >
"As a man and a philosopher It will be
long before his llko will bo seen again. His
goodness and gentleness singled him out
among all men , and with others I almost
worshipped him. "
When the news of Henry George's death
was received nt the headquarters of Robert
A. Van Wyck , orders were sent to all the
printers who had been printing campaign
literature for Candidate Van Wyck to stop
printing all documents bcarlrg1 the name of
irmiry Georgo. The following was sent by
Judge A'an Wyck to Mrs. George :
I am Inexpressibly shocked. No words
can express my regret or my sincere sym
pathy. HOBEItT A. VAN WYCK.
General Tracy said at his headquarters :
"I regret exceedingly this unfortunate af
fair. I have bad the highest respect for Mr.

WASHINGTON . Oct. 29. Secretary WIVon
today presented his report to the president
reviewing thp operations of the Department
of Agriculture for the past year. The most
Important recommendation made by him Is
one that agents for the department should
be stationed at each of our more Important
American embsesU-s for the collection of
Information of Interest to American farmers.
Kofcrrlng to this subject , ho siys :
"Wo are endeavoring to got. Information
from foreign countries with whom wo com-
ppte In the markets of the world regarding
crops and prices. Wo are * also taking steps
to ascertain what crops are grown on differ
ent thermal lines RO that scedn and planta
mny Intel Igcntly bo brought to this coun
try Vo csslsl In thp diversification of our
crops. There Is necessity for American
agents In every foreign country to which we .
tend re'nre'sentntlU'U who have had oduca * !
tlon In tbo sciences relating to agriculture.
The agricultural colleges endowed by con
gress are cducillug alonj Ihcso lines. "
The secretary recommends an Increase In
tin1 appropriations In aid of a butoau of ani
mal Indiittry of thprather ImriMti and
publication olllccs. llo thinks the depart
ment shou'd be enabled to place the result
of Important operations nt agricultural col
leges bufurp t.ie entire country so that thp.
farmers of each Htato may get the result of
the good work done In other Htutw.
KOItniGN MAIIKKTS.
Ho icfcrs to the efforts of 'department
to extend the foreign markets for our dairy
and live stork.proJnets , which he thinks cin
be done by making thp forclgnors familiar
with them. Instead of sending abroad for
seeds IIP Bays- the policy In the future will
be lo cncruioge the Introduction of such
seeds as will enable the people to diversify
their crops ami keep at homo the money
now sent obion'l ' to buy wh.it the United
States should produce.
Mr. Wilson says the department will con
tinue Its pioneer wrrl : In support of th-3
sugar boot Industry , and expresses the be-
llef that the country will , eon raise thp
sugar It rc'iulrca. HP expresM1 the opln'on '
that neatly all of thu $482.1)00,000 ) sent abroad
lust year for augir , fruits , wines , hides , ani
mals. IKiv , hemp , rlco , whp.lt , barley , bpaus ,
eggs and silk might have been kept at IIOIIIP.
Ho also think ? the United Stales shoulil
grow Its own chlr-kory , castor beans , lav
ender , licorice * , mustard , onlnm , ptc.
With left-ronco to horses the sec-elary
says : "The > Anip.'lcan farmer can grrw
hoi son ns cheaply as lip can grow tattle.
WP have n hcaxy anil profluble trade In
cattle and may have an pxport trade equally
heavy and profitable in horses. The depart
ment Is gathering facts regarding our horse
ImltiEtry at home anil the ipqulreinetus of
purchasers abroad so that our farmers can
leain what forelun bujprs demand. "
'I lie extension of. meat Inspection to ab-
'JaioliH ' in Interstate businc.33 is rcconimendeJ ,
as is the continuance of the Inspection of ex
port animals in order to tr.alntaln thu mar
ket which has been secured for them In
ot'aer countries.
CnOl * UEI'OU'PS.
The secretary criticises the present sys
tem of crop reporting. He says It Is cx-
trcmely cumbersome , and tint instead of con
ducing to completeness and accuracy It
would appear from the report of the statis
tician to In some measure defeat its own ob
ject by its own unwleldlncss and by the
Tact that the indi'linito multiplication of crop
repot tcrs wuikens the spnso of Inlclrldual
re'jonsilility. He strongly favors the
maKluc ; of some pecuniary acknowledgement
of thp service of a carefully selected corps
of correspondents , selected mainly in thi >
principal agricultural states , and that ic-
liancc bo placed upon the statp statistical
agents for rpports of crops from states of
minor agricultural Importance. He recom
mends the employment of a principal sto-
tistlrol agent In each state.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. In bis annual
report to the adjutant general , Hrlgadler
General anafter , commaad'ng the Depart
ment of California , recommends the lemoval
of two barracks from the I'resldio to the
now docks at Kort Baker , where the battery
Is now unprotected against IIP ! approaching
rainy season. The Infantry company at San
Dlcso should be replaced by heavy artillery
as the works arp nearlng completion and the
artillerymen should mount the guns for In-
structloro This battery should be taken
from Angel. A regiment should bp stationed
at the 1'resldlo In addition to the cavalry
and light artillery In order to police and care
for the large reservation , as the present
garrison cannot do this without seTlons In-
torfereneo with their military duties. Two
infantry companies for this purpose might
b drawn , one from San Diego and the other
from IJnlcla.
General Shaftcr announces his purpose to
soon assemble all the batteries of heavy
artillery In San Francisco harbor on the
Piesidlo icservatlon and at I'ort Baker for
a period of twenty or thirty days for a
thorough course of instruction In problems
of cciist defence and the re'hearsal of the
proposed system of "flro control and direc
tion. "
The discipline of the troops Is said to be
excellent.

We all know how we have/ advanced
materially. Do we icallze how we have
advanced sohuitlllcally ? More than in
any other manner. Indeed , it has been
thu advancement In science which .itis
caused the advancement in material
things. The discovery of steam permit
ted the railroad and th.1 steamboat. The
development in electricity made possible
the telegraph and telephone , so that the
development of His sciences has been
the real cause of all modern advance
ment.
We will take for example one depart
ment of .science , but thu mo-it Important
department , one which affects
our very lives nnd happiness.
Formerly thu treatment of human
ills was made a mailer of super
stition , of incantation , the same as it IK
by the medicine men of the Indians to
day. Oradually emorxin ; ; from such
blindness , it was still a matter of big
otry , of folly. What people.must have
suffered In those days can scarcely bo
imagined. They were bled , they worn
cupped , th-oy were leeched , they were

subjected to every device whereby their
vitality could bo reduced and their llvoa
andan eiod. It IK almost a wonder that
the race survived.
Th-ero ha.s been an absolute revolu
tion In thu practice of medicine and In
the treatment of human Ills. Instead of
undermining the vital forces by cupp
ing and bleeding' , the vitality Is now
sustained In every posible miinner. In
stead of tearing down wo seek to build
up. Instead of Incroaslnf , ' nilht-ry wo
heel ; to create happiness.
I5nt the greatest advancement In med
