friends of pood government, no organization that has stood so faithfully to that principle for the last quarter of a century than the Republican party.” (Great applause.) General Tracy then made a long argument against the position taken by the Citizens’ Lnlon and criticised the deal between the Union and the Henry George committee. REASONS FOR COMBINING. Explanation from the Henry George Cuinpaign Committee. NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—After a meeting of the campaign committee selected by Henry George had been concluded, at the Unionsquare Hotel, after 11 o'clock to-night, a statement explaining the combination of the G orge ticket In New Y county with that of the Citizens' Union was made public. It says: "The purpose of the men associated under the name of the Democracy of Thomas Jefferson is twofold. Primarily they desire to elect Henry George mayor of Greater New York. To this end they will insist that every personal interest shall he subordinated. Secondarily, they propose to light with every weapon at their disposal the domination of the Democratic party oJ Greater New York, by whose undemocratic forces, of which Richard Croker is the personification and through the influence of which that party which, in its essentials, should be a party of the people, has become, in New York city at any rate, the political weapon of the privileged classes. To accomplish these purposes co-operation between the Citizens' Union and New York county and the regular organization in Kings and Queens counties has been under consideration and to a certain extent accomplished. •'ln accepting the nomination made already by the Democratic organization outside of New’ York county, this committee has adhered to its position that it represents a. Democratic body. Rut it denies wholly the assertion that the organization known commonly as Tammany Hall is, under the domination of Richard Croker, either si representative body, si Democratic organization or a political agency to which any citizen of New York can intrust his interests in the government of the greater city. "The defeat of Tammany is the triumph of Democracy. The defeat of Plattism is the triumph of that type of Republicanism which had its origin with the men who nominated Abraham Lincoln for the presidency of the United States. In uniting with the Citizens’ Union to defesit at one etroke Richard Croker and Thomas C. Platt the great body of voters for whom this committee speaks hsis taken the obvious course.” The leaders of the United Democracy and tiie Democrsitic Alliance, who first nominated Henry George, were furious this morning over their desertion by him, but the George, leaders say these organizations will remain in line. A meeting held tonight by members of the two organizations to protest against the committee's action did little but cheer for Henry George. There are decided indications that the deal, which was arranged by ex-Congressman Tom Li. Johnson, representing the Henry George Democracy, and James B. Reynolds, representing the Citizens’ Union, will be repudiated by the latter organization. Reynolds gave out the statement to-day that there would be a meeting of the executive committee of the Citizens’ Union this afternoon to discuss the proposition of putting the names of the New York county candidate of the Citizens’ Union on the Henry George tickets. The executive committee met according to announcement, and after a brief session adjourned, giving out the significant statement, in effect, that the allegation of "an agreement between Tom I* Johnson and James B. Reynolds,” on the basis stated above, “was absolutely untrue and without foundation.” The deal which was projected contemplated the acceptance by the Citizens’ Union of the George Democracy county tickets in Kings, Queens and Richmond. It was not proposed to make any deal as to the mayoralty, the controllership and the presidency of the Council, the Intention being to keep both Seth Low and Henry George in the field. At a meeting of the Democratic city committee to-night, Randolph Guggenheimer, a millionaire lawyer, was nominated to take the place on the Tammany ticket vacated by Jacob Ruppert, jr., nominee for president of the Council, who resigned. The World’s poll of voters Includes 130,693 rames. Van Wyck, Tammany candidate for mayor, is preferred by 43,148; Seth Low, Citizens’ Union, by 31,516; Henry George, Jefferson Democrat, 26,619; General Tracy, Republican. 21,391; Patrick Gleason, Independent, 8,019. The total registration in greater New York yesterday and to-day was 320,828,

Three Were for the Temple Cnp and Two Exhibition Contents—Small Crowd nt Baltimore. ♦ BALTIMORE, Oct. 9.—ls the newly fledged champions do not take the next three games from the "three-time winners" the Temple cup will remain in Baltimore •for another year and the "have beens” will get the big end of the gate money. For the fifth time in succession the Baltimoreans defeated the pennant holders to-day, and as three of the games count for the nilver trophy it looks blue for the Boston contingent. There was a small crowd, little enthusiasm and the game itself was dull and uninteresting until the ninth Inntng, when it looked for a time as though the visitors might win. Heavy hitting and ragged fielding, quite equally distributed between both teams, characterized the contest, and both sides were.- compelled to chunge pitchers because of the bombardment they received.

WATERLOO FOR PURDUE 1 BOILER MAKERS GIVEN A DRUBBING BY OBERLIN ELEVEN. ♦ . Industrial Training School Famished , Exercise for De Pnnw—Color Line nt Terre Haute. Special to the Indie na polls Journal. LAFAYETTE, lnd., Oct. 9.—Purdue’s football team met an unexpected Waterloo this afternoon in the game w’ith Oberlin. The Ohio team won with comparative ease, the score being 22 to 6. Oberlin’s line was old and experienced and a trifle heavier than Purdue's. Every man played with dash and spirit that has not been equaled here in several seasons. Purdue lacked spirit, her line was weak and the interference poor. Oberlin’s interference was perfect and the line-bucking of Washington, Fauver and Chez was strong. Purdue had several substitutes In the line at important positions -Ritchey at guard and Raub on the end, the latter playing a strong game. Sample, at left tackle, was not able to hold McDonald, but Band, who succeeded him in the second half, did more satisfactory work. Hcrbold, who succeeded Ritchey, proved much stronger, but was ruled off for slugging toward the close of the game. The halves were twenty-five minutes each, Oberlin winning the toss and Purdue kicking off. Engle returned the ball, which was fumbled, and two minutes later G. Fauver, by a splendid run around right end, scored a touchdown, Engle kicking goal. After the next kick-off Fauver made another run for a touchdown, which was not allowed. Chez soon scored through the line, Engle kicking goal. At this point Hall w as knocked senseless by Washington, and Raub took his place. In the second half Moore's kick was blocked and Winter made a touchdown on a Iluke, Engle kicking goal. Oberlin pushed Purdue’s line for short gains, but Purdue, strengthened by Bond and Hcrbold, held much better and the second half was a more stubborn contest. Chez scored about the middle of the half, and Engle missed goal. Purdue thence played a strong game, Cult Moore finally making a thirtyyard run for a touchdown, Robertson kicking goal. Time was called on the second half with the ball near the middle of the field. The line-up: Purdue. Positions. Oberlin. Gobin Right half G.

TRAINING SCHOOL TOO LIGHT. Dr Pnuw Eleven Easily Defeated the Indianapolis Boys. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, lnd., Oct. 9.—De Pauw defeated the Industrial Training School eleven of Indianapolis to-day before four hundred people, in a slow game. Twentyminute halves were played on account of the warm weather and lack of practice. De Pauw had no walk-over, notwithstanding the score was 22 to 0, as the Indianapolis lads put up a surprisingly stiff game. They w’ere on an average ten pounds lighter than their opponents and played good ball throughout. De Pauw took the ball and in two minutes sent Darby over the line for a touchdown, Roller failing on goal. It took De Pauw’ seven minutes to make the second touchdown, Cartwright being sent through the line. Roller again failed on the kick. Roller made the tnird touchdown in ten minutes, Williamson failing on goal. The half closed at the score of 12 to 0. There was considerable punting in the last half. Williamson made a twenty-yard run and Fisher a ten-yard run, going over the corner for a touchdown. After a punt for position, Fisher failed c>n a difficult kick. Williamson went over the line in nine minutes for the last touchdown and kicked his goal, the only one scored in the game. De Pauw’ was slow and weak in center, several changes being made. The line-up: De Pauw. Position. Ind. School. Darby Left end Krauss Williamson Left tackle Shideler Foxworthy Left guard Sharkey Messer Center Bates Ivy Right guard Jones Roller (Capt.).. Right tackle Baden Fisher Right end Neidhamer Haynes Quarter back Williams Cartwright— Left half back Braden Davis Right half back Fisher Neely Full back .Rinehart (Capt.)

WEST POINT, Oct. 9.—ln a hard-fought game West Point defeated Wesleyan this afternoon by a score of 12 to 9. The game was marked by the excellent playing of’ the Young brothers and Raymond at half for Wesleyan. For West Point Waldron played as fine a game at half as ever was seen on this liqld. He made runs of twenty-live to fifty yards repeatedly, went through the line strongly, and his tackling was hard and sure. Boender at end put up a very line game and downed his men hard. Scales and Foy played their usual good game. Captain Nesbitt did not go into the game until the last part of the second half. In the second half Wing tried for goal fiom the twenty-yard line and it was allowed oy tne referee, although it was claimed that it failed. This raised Wesleyan's score five points. There was much fumbling on the part of Wesleyan. Attendance, 2,000, Hartford City, 16; Muncie, O. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

In team play the visitors were a match for the Harvards, but failure to take advantage of the wind and poor punting were Dartmouth’s w eak points. The first naif ended without a score for either side. In the second Cabot made a fair catch, but Cochrane missed the try for a goal. Cochrane caught the ball himself, however, a few minutes later, and this time he sent the pigskin over, making the score 7 to 0. Harvard got the ball down near Dartmouth’s goal by a blocked ball on the five-yard line and then Bouve was pushed through the line for the last touchdown. Cochrane kicked the goal, leaving the final score 13 to 0. Cornell, 15; In ft*. O. ITHACA. N. \\, Oct. 9.—Cornell defeated the light Tufts team to-day with an eleven composed of substitutes.

The only hard work was done in the last four minutes, when the Michigan team nearly secured a touchdown. In the first half the whistle sounded when the ball was on the visitors’ fifteen-yard line. Captain Hogg, Teatsell and Henry did the best w’ork for Michigan and Yost was the star of the Ohio team. Yale, .*l2; Williams, O.

PRIZE FOR PILOT BOY ♦ WON LAST THREE OF FIVE HEATS AND THE ASHLAND STAKE. 2:17 Puce at Lexington Taken by Helen I*. and the 2:2t Trot by Zyepha After a Long Fight. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 9.—Weather, track, attendance and the character of the sport combined to make this a gala day in the meeting of the Kentucky Trotti .g Horse Breeders’ Association. Helen P., who had won the first of the three heats paced yesterday in the 2:17 class for pacers, finished the race in two heats to-day, driven out by Bourbon R. and White Hose.

THE W. C. T. U. BUSY DAY THIRTY SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT TO THE STATE CONVENTION. Women Congratulate Themselves on Progress in Gaining Co-Operiition of the Daily Papers. ♦ Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 9.—This forenoon’s session of the twenty-fourth annual state convention of the Indiana W. C. T. U. was occupied with brief reports of departments. There are thirty departments, and about half of them reported. This afternoon the following state officers were elected: President, Mrs. Luella F. McWhirttr, of Indianapol s; vice president,Miss Mary Hadley, of Bloomingdaie; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Mary E. Balch, of Indianapolis; recording secretary. Rev. Mrs. M. O. Cammack. of Marion; treasurer, Mrs. Amanda T. Whiteson, of Indianapolis. Trustees for the Hadley Industrial School for Girls were elected as follows: Two years —Mrs. Lucia Hobart, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Flick; three years, Mrs. Kate Mendenhall, of Hendricks county; Mrs. Wardner, of Laporte, and Mrs. Anna Johnson, of Grant county. Mrs. Adah Whinery White, of Oxford, Ind., state superintendent of scientific temperance instruction, offered the first report, it being devoted largely to the efforts which had been put forth during the past year to extend the teaching of scientific temperance in Indiana. The motto of this department is “The star of temperance reform rises over the American schoolhouse.” Mrs. White desires that scientific instruction be extended to every school district of the State. The report stated that Boone county stood at the head of the counties of the State in this department, and assigned as the reason for this the system used in that county of granting prizes for school essays on scientific temperance. Noble county followed with an excellent report, showing a complete county organization of the work. Tippecanoe county also submitted a good report. Many unions that have felt unable to hire lecturers have secured resident physicians to lecture on the temperance work. Letters were also read from several normal schools encouraging the work of this department. The report of the Sunday-school department was presented by Mrs. Alice G. Geary, of Logansport, who dwelt on the thoroughness of the work in her department. The Sunday schools, as a rule, contribute twothirds of their membership as "pledged members.” In one instance the report showed that the superintendent and a teacher had given up the use of tobacco in order to become examples to the pupils. The report of the state superintendent on “Narcotics’’ drew the interest of the whole convention, and, while the report was brief, the items showed that much work had been accomplished. Mrs. Fannie B. Calkins is the state superintendent of this department. Her report told of the long lists of signatures to the petitions against the sale of cigarettes and the final victory gained when a law was passed prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors. The superintendent accorded the greater part of the honor for this work to Mrs. McWhirter, of Indianapolis, who devoted her time, energy and talent to the work.

BANNER SUPERINTENDENT. An excellent report was presented by Mrs. Mary E. Balch, of the oratorical contest medal department. She holds the honor of being the banner superintendent of the United States. Mrs. Balch is energetic in her work and all items of her report showed good results from her labors. It was reported that forty-four counties had held 228 medal contests during the year. A great gain w r as also reported for the year in the number of boys and young men enlisted, and incidents w’ere cited where "young men on the way to ruin have been brought back to the path of truth and right” by these contests. The reports of the mercy department, of the orphans’ home department and of the unfermented wine department were submitted by proxy in the absence of the state superintendents. One of the best reports was submitted by Sue W. Crouse, of Lafayette, lnd., state superintendent of the press department. Her report was brimfull of enthusiasm and promise for future good things. The report of Grant county seemed to deserve special mention from the superintendent. It has eleven papers, in each one of which is a department devoted to the W. C. T. U. This report urged personal work and laid the burden of the advancement of the union at the hands of the local workers. “Hundreds of dollars’ w’orth of space has been obtained by this department in the secular press and that which is more heartily treasure^—that courtesy, kindness and deference our work which at one time was unknown." The department of “Franchise’ wras handled by Miss M. A. Tompkins, of Elkhart, w’ho began as follows: “Indiana has heard the bugle. She is already marching forward w’ith hastening steps to the time when husband and wife, brother and sister, will w’alk arm in arm to the polls on election day. Noiselessly, like angels of mercy, will women approach the ballot box, and for God, and home, and native land, drop from their fingers the slip of paper which will help to elect men of exalted character to the political honors of the Nation.” The bodv of the report dealt in statements regarding the distribution of literature and letters and the number of lectures and sermons delivered on the subject. Mrs. L. W. Candler, of Richmond, state superintendent of the railroad department, gave a good report on the work of the union among railroad men: also, among fire engine houses and livery stables. The prime object of this department was shown to be the distribution of literature and the extension of help to the sick and suffering. Mrs. Culla J. Vayhinger, of Moore's Hill, reported in brief on “Sabbath Observance,” which was well accepted. OUR JAILS AND PRISONS. Miss Ellen K. Denny, of Vincennes, in a comprehensive report on “Jails and Prisons,” said, in part: “The ingenuity of man has been exhausted to effect a change in our prison system and remodel a criminal punishment, severe, cruel and degrading, and instead, resort to treatment kind and surroundings agreeable: yet, they have failed simply because reformation could not bo effected only through divine agencies. A woman’s hand was needed to lead into the light and a woman’s voice to utter the message that will reach to the uttermost and save a man that has committed all the sins a wicked man doeth. From the different counties that are organized in the State there comes cheering- reports. Jails visited, gospel services held, literature distributed, many signing the pledge, reforms in prison management inaugurated, men incarcerated in jails because they were a menace to society, coming out to be a benefit to society, because they had found the secret of a true life. This word comes from many of the superintendents: ‘I hope to do better another year, my heart is in the work and I am sure the Lord is pleased to have me engage in it, for He does so wonderfully bless me. We have held song and prayer service which we know lias been owned and blest by our great leader. Many letters have been received from prisoners telling how’ happy they are since the Lord has pardoned their sins and what a comfort the Bible is to them.’ ” Miss H.

HARDSHIPS OF WHALERS • ♦ STORY OF SUFFERING TOI.D HY SURVIVORS OF THE NAVARCH. * Fourteen Sailors DrofVned and Sixteen Afloat oil Ice anil Tortured by Hunger for Twelve Days. SAX FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.—The Chronicle says that the fate of the crew of the steam whaler Navarch, of New Bedford, which w'as wrecked in the Arctic on Aug. 11, is no longer in doubt. As is already known, the captain, his wife and the first and fourth officers, w’ho succeeded in escaping from the vessel after she was caught in the ice, were picked up by the United States revenue cutter Bear. The other thirty men on board the ill-fated vessel were supposed to have perished. The news of the death of fourteen of the seamen and the rescue of the other sixteen was brought to this city by E. M. Dias, one of the survivors, who came down on the steam whaler Bonanza from Point Barrow. Dias, who is a Portuguese, relates a harrowing tale of suffering and starvation in the ice-bound north. After the Navarch had been nipped by the icebergs and the captain, his wife and two of the officers had been fortunate enough to reach open water in the gig the others stayed by their vessel as long as possible. The food supply rapidly became exhausted, fourteen of the men died and finally the vessel went to pieces and sank. The sixteen survivors tried to make their way south over the ice, but soon found themselves adrift on a floe. For twelve days they floated with the ice in currents, suffering the most intense torture from hunger. They were driven to the verge of starvation, and in their craving for food ate the skins with which they were clothed. Finally, after all hope of rescue had been abandoned, the castaways were sighted by the steam whaler Thresher and quickly rescued. They were taken to Point Barrow and given every care and attention. Dias was brought to this city on the Bonanza so that his eyes might be treated by an oculist, his sight having been seriously affected by the glare of the sun on * the ice. He was the third mate of the vessel. The names of the members of the lost crew of the New Bedford whaler Navarch who were saved are: First Mate Blaine, Second Mate Egan, Third Mate Dias, Fourth Mate Reed, Boatheader Peter and Steerers Peter, Cora, Santos, Andrews, Silva and Holmes. Charles Brower, agent of the North American Fur Company, was also among those rescued. The following are known to have been lost: W. W. Whiting, steward; John Hannis, cook; Thomas C. Lord, fireman; John Sands, chief engineer; M. J. Scanlan, assistant engineer; Charles Thrasher, fireman, and ten sailors. Those who were lost stayed by the fragments of the ship, drifting beyond human aid, and were never picked up by any passing ships.

White died this morning on the operation table at St. Joseph's Hospital, where he had just been operated on for appendicitis. He was one of the wealthiest men in this part of the State. Last Wednesday morning Captain White was taken ill with severe pain in the abdomen, but it was not regarded as serious until Thursday night, when his suffering became unbearable. It was not until Friday morning, however, that his condition was considered critical. Early this morning the physicians detected symptoms of uraemic poisoning, and it became apparent that unless heroic measures were adopted he would not survive the day. It was then decided to remove him to St. Joseph's Hospital, where an operation would L mmediately performed. The members of his family were driven to the inospita where the rooms were engaged adjoining that occupied by the patient. Captain White, attended by his four sons, was taken as speedily as possible to the hospital. He was still conscious, although suffering intense agony. He was aware of the decision of the physicians, but was resigned. After the patient was placed on the operating table it was seen that he was growing weaker, and it was decided to proceed immediately to the last resort. He w’as etherized and Drs. Greenawalt, Myers. Porter and Sweringen performed the operation. They discovered an obstruction of the bowels, and also perforation of the intestines with the vermiform slightly involved. The operation was completed and the gauze lining placed over the w’ound and slight hopes were entertained of his recovery, but his breathing became heavier and heavier and it was impossible to arouse him from the effects of the ether. He passed away in less than ten minutes after the operation. James B. White, of Fort Wayne, was born in Stirlingshire.

AMUSEMENTS. EMPIRE--* KsT: Commencing Monday Matinee, M’lle Ani’s Monarchs 25 People. 12 Specialties. See “Paris Upside Down." Friday and Saturday, the Famous RENTZ-SANTLEY CO INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGeT Commercial Travelers Protest Against the New Books. i The commercial travelers held a large and enthusiastic meeting at the Commercial Club last night to take action on the new interchangeable mileage books. After considerable discussion the following resolutions were adopted: “The commercial travelers of the State of Indiana, in convention assembled at Indianapolis, Ind., representing the commercial interests of the State, being the travelers over the various railroad ltnes throughout Indiana, furnishing the railroad companies in this State traffic in the way of freights, in this public meeting declare: That tha present mileage book now in use by the railroad traffic association of Indiana ia detrimental to the best interests of the commercial travelers of this State and is a burden to the officials having the sale of tickets for the various railroad lines. Therefore we now here protest and remonstrate against the use of said new mileage book and our reasons therefore are as follows: That said new mileage books require us to deposit with the railroad company issuing the mileage book $lO for each one-thousand-mile book purchased, which is held and retained on conditions which are burdensome to the holder of such mileage books, in this, that it ties up 33 per cent, of his money used for paying railroad fare; it is a reflection on the honesty and integrity of every traveling man in the State; that we are unalterably opposed to the feature of the new book requiring the exchange of mileage for ticket at station. But we desire some system whereby the same can be used on the train. _ , “Further, that the use- of such mileage books is detrimental to the business interfists of our State; that it frequently occurs that the traveling man has but a few moments in which to catch his train at connecting points, and in consequence is delayed or compelled to pay 3 cents fare per mile and not given the benefit in the way of purchasing mileage; or the traveling man may discover that his customer is about to leave on the train just arrived, in which case he is not allowed sufficient time to purchase a ticket or recheck his baggage under the present system. “That the traveling men of this State as a body of men are interested in and have always been the friends of the railroads, paying their transportation promptly and being the chief supporters in the way of passenger traffic over the various lines in Indiana. “The favor of checking our baggage Saturdays and Sundays ready for our departure on early Monday morning or late Sunday night trains has been withdrawn as a result of the new mileage book. The consequence is a rush that overtasks the baggage room force and has seriously interfered with our departure, sometimes making it impossible to get off on the desired trains. “We further protest against the use of such mileage books for the further reason that signatures are compelled to be on every part of such mileage books detached, and in addition signatures are required upon the ticket issued by the railroad company in lieu of such mileage detached. which signatures are always written under different circumstances, and it never favorably compares with the original signature written in ink at the time of purchase, and the burden of establishing the genuineness of such signature on such mileage is cast upon the holder of the book, and in order to obtain the deposit left with such railroad company the holder may be required to go Wo some distant part of the State to bring an action to recover, and in consequence would pay more costs than the amount of the deposit. “We, therefore, appeal to the general manangers of the various railroad interests in Indiana and ask them that this appeal be considered by them before the same is referred to their local passenger management, and that our protest be fully considered. All we desire is reasonable accommodation, good service, without suspicion upon our integrity as traveling men, and that the present mileage book system be so remedied as that the mileage may lie used to tlie comfort and convenience of the traveling public, and we will ever pray. “President—Chnrles B.
