Henry Gcorgo nt the IJroolilyn Academy oi'Musie--Sctli Low Talks at Flushing. New York, Oct. 20. General Benja min F. Traev, cnmllilnte for mayor; Secretary of the Interior Cornelius N. Bliss, and Governor Prank Black ad dressed an audience of l.r.00 persons nt a Itepublteati meeting held tonight in the Lenox Lyceum heie. The speak ers and their speeches were enthusi astically applauded. This Is the llrst time Secretary Bliss has spoken In the great municipal campaign. Secretary Miss, nfter a few Intro ductory remarks, said: Situated as I am. separated somewhat from the polltleul activities of tho town, I have had an opportunity to look over tho ground from a distance. 1 have sect, tho Republican patt. rny party and your party with the doors -rude open all the time to make arrangements to Klve all who desire good government a chance to combine for one great success. 1 have seen their efforts despised, until you havo risen in your majesty and made your own nominations. In my soul and heart I approve what yon havo done, and 1 am with you and with your noble candidate for mayor as against all tho world. Why should this bo so? 1 remember twelve months ugo when men came to my olllco In this city, with pale faces. Tney said- "Is It possible that Una Ilryan bus iness is to succeed, that disorder, social ism, anarchy are to be the fate of this great country? Peoplo weio pale. They doubted; they feared. When election camo it was all right, but over six million votes were cast In support of tho Chicago plat form. That tight Is not over. That light is continuing nil over the country, and It seems to be expected by our some time friends that we are to submit and let theso peoplo get their way. There aro two candidates In this town standing on tho Chicago platform one squarely, tho other not saying much about It but stand ing there Just tho same. The state of Kansas is raising money lor George's campaign. A fund to elect George Is being contributed by Kansas Populists. I can say that I hear from all over tho country, "what Is New York go ing to do?" They ask, "arc the peoplo of New York going back on what they did last year?" That Is the question. Thero Is but one thing for the great Republican party in this state to do. It is to get be hind Ilenjamln F. Tracy, elect him mayor of this great city and guarantee for four years honest government In every way and concurrence with the country In hon est money and the killing of anarchism and everything that goes with the Chl- cugo platform. OVATION TO GKNERAL TRACY. When General Tracy rose to speak lie met with another ovation, but It was not so lasting as the one he got when he entered with Mr. Miss. Gen eral Tracy in his speech dwelt largely on Brooklyn politics and made an ar gument against the Citizens' union. Governor Frunk Mack, of New York, was the next speaker. He said, In part; Tills Is no time for honest men to keep their faces frcm tho light. We are Just bin emerging froir. a period so crltleul thttt Its full significance will not be seen lor many years. We havo only passed tho point where ilimster seemed almost cer tain, we are slowly gaining, but are still within leach of that disaster if through itiiliflereneu or design wo Invito it to re turn. If tills year we relax a single effort or do but llttlo where we might do more, we are no wiser than he who, stricken with fever, yields himself to folly and Imprudence at the lirsl sign of returning health. I.ess than a year ago tho whole country was engaged In a political contest almost the gravest in Its history. Mi n were then ar'uis' I . only war had ever aroused U. in In tor-. Tile menace uttered at Chl ago in July had beforo November driven thuuiMiids from the associations of a life limp, and had forced them with new alii an -s tu meet the peril then Impending. The had heard all their lives of Issues In political campaigns, but thoso of last year were not questions of policies or of men, .is they hail been mulnly heretofore, but issues that Involved tho pernianeneo of government, this safety of soilety; and when these tilings are reached and lost the true frlend3 of the republic may well he fearful of Its future. The heresies that were loud and defiant last year havn not been converted or subdued. They aro ac tive, hopeful and determined, and deser tions from their ranks aro few. Thoso who arc now falling down or retiring from tho fight or Interpreting vlsllons of their own come mainly from the ranks of thoso who then touglit for order and the su premacy of law. It Is a strange element In human nature that cements together those who pursue an evil object whllo the friends of a Just causo will soon grow weak and scatter. THH SAMB OLD KNRMV. Contests are row waging in many slntes and cities of this country. Tho same army that threatened is last full Is again abroad under tho same commander. In .ho anie cause, with the same purposes, but moving in smaller groups. Kvery victory they win now In separate companies, ev ery eh-nunt of strength you permit them to acquire In detachments, will be used against you In every contest hereafter, whi n their forces are n Bused again In uno I'limplMu anil perchance victorious army. The isM'es now aro tho Issues nt last year, Thero has been no attempt to change them, and they aro not cvtn ills. giiUcd by phraseology. In every spot where tho fight is on, It Ih waged on the llnet. of St, Louis and Chicago, Social ism, anarchy, Junk money and every wild, eyed hybrid thai stared through tho Uhl ca.go platform of a year ago will gather In knots next month around tho polling places of this republic. Ho who pretends that unarchy is dungtrous only once In four years, that repudiation Is dishonest only In national elections and Is willing at other time to keep them lompany. Is himself a dangerous citizen and unworthy of his privileges. You ennnot divorce a city from tho state, n state from tho country, any more than you can drive a citizen from his community. All are In terwoven nnd dependent. A man who does not realize this fundamental truth, sclf-ovldent and so necessary to our pre servation and our growth, does not un derstand tho basis of tho government un. tier which wo livu. And yet In theso times we aro told that polltlcnl contests should bo fought upon non-polltlcal lines. I utterly repudlato that doctrine. I be lieve In tho principles of the Republican ljarty not for a day or a year; not with in termittent and varying fidelity, but for all time, as the best expression of a po litical creed, and eis the safest guide to those who, enjoying the marvelous rights of citizenship, would prepare themselves to meet Its gravo demands. I believe In partisanship always, for when devoted to noblo purposes, It attains the piano ot pa triotism. It should never fall Into dlsusn through Indifference of thoso who would overcome us when they have lulled us to sleep. HENRY GEORGE'S MEETING. A Henry George meeting In the Brooklyn Academy of Music tonight called forth nn audience which filled the big building to overflowing. The principal attraction was the appear ance of Henry George in Itrooklyn for the first time during the campaign. Mr. George was received with tremen dous cheering, at the conclusion of which ho began an address that was Interrupted repeatedly by prolonged npplause. He made his customary ap peal to tho "true Democracy" in the name of Thomas Jefferson. A second meeting was held In the Clermont avenue rink, Brooklyn, where an immense audience was addressed by Mr. George. Seth Low addressed a large meeting in Flushing tonight. The executive committee of the Man hattan Democracy so-called Stockier Democracy unanimously indorsed the Citizens' union ticket tonight and is sued nn address to the people giving the reason for so doing. The breach In the Henry George ranks caused by tho refusal of the United Democracy to indorse the Citi zens' union end of the Jeffersonlan De mocracy ticket and later Henry George's refusal to allow his name to appear at the head of the United De mocracy ticket, was healed tonight in a conference between the United De mocracy nnd tho Henry George cam paign committee. Mr. George will re ceive the full support of the United Democracy, A POLITICAL POINTER If you Indorse the free traJe and free silver Chicago platform as tho Lacka wanna Democracy does, "fully and without reserve," then work and vote for Sihaelt, Horn, et. al. If you be lieve In McKinley, protection and pros perity, turn these agents ot Urjan down. YELLOW FEVER SPREADING. All Previous Records Broken by the Cases nt New Orleans. New Orleans, Oct. 20.

Council Votes Against the Trcnty ol Dnwcs and Creek Commissioners. Muskogee, I. T., Oct. 20. The Creek council, in session nt Okrnulgco, L T., yesterday evening rejected the treaty recently agreed to by tho Dawes and Creek commissioners. The vote in the lower house of th council wns unanimous against the treaty and only elsht members of the house of kings voted in favor of It. The councilmen objected to tho treaty principally on the ground that It favor ed the non citizens and the railroad companies, to the detriment of the Creeks, and did not give eanh citizen pro rata of nil lands In the Creek na tion. An endless amount of litigation will doubtless be the result of the coun cil's rejection of the treaty, as tho act of congress which takes effect on Jan. 1, 1SB8, abolishes tho Creek courts, places the members of (he tribe under the jurisdiction of the United States courts and makes their acts of council of no force until approved by the pres ident of the United States.

'WORLD'S PACING RECORD REDUCED Joe Patcfaen's Wonderful Jollct. Feat at BEFORE A FOUR-WHEEL SULKY Tho Ulg Hlnck Takes tho Place of Stnr Pointer nnd Pacos Against Wagon nnd High Wheel Sulky Itec-onl8"-rormor Time Hold by W. W. P. nt Tcrro Haute Lowered. Jollct, HI., Oct. SO. Without nny preparation for such a trial, Joe Patch en, the black pacing stallion, this af ternoon reduced the world's pacing rec ord to a four-wheeled sulky by nearly four seconds. The record was estab lished at lirgalls' park track, tills city, before 2,700 people, who had been at tracted by tho announcement that Stnr Pointer would go against both the wag on and high wheel sulky records, nnd that Joe Patchen would try nnd bent his own record of 201'4. Star Pointer was lame, however, and Owner Mur phy refused to let him fulfill his en gagement. But Mr. Marks, the owner of Joe Patchen, agreed to let the black horso tako Star Pointer's place und go against the wagon nnd high-wheel sulky records. Previous to this, about 3 o'clock the great son of Patchen Wilkes had again made a remarkable time In attempting to beat his own record of 2.0U.4. Driv en by Atkinson, he went the circuit In 2.02, lowering the Ingall's park record. The time by quarters was 31, 1.02; 132'i. 2.02. Several watches caught tho time in 2.02',. The horse was urged a great deal In this heat, but he did not appear until 4.1.r o'clock to make his trial ngninst the wagon or four-wheel rec ord. After scoring once, Ames, who now drove, signalled for the word and away the big black went with the running mute trailing a length or two away. Ames rated his charge splendidly, cov ering tho first quarter In 32!, skim ming along the back stretch with the stallion almost easily in 31,i. The far turn the pacer faced tho breeze, what ever there was of It, but it was hero that Ames first urged him, with the running mate, too, running alongside, and, responding: to the call, the noble Patchen sped over the third quarter In 30',. seconds. It was now a foregone conclusion that tho record would be broken, and outbursts of applause be gan before the horse was well straight ened out for home. Ames knew the staying power of his horse and never relinquished, urging him by voice nnd an occaslonnl sharp crack of tho whip. The result wns the last quarter was made In 30V1 seconds, the time of the last half mile being 1.01'i and the great pacer finished strong and true, nearly four seconds ahead of the rec ord. THE FORMER RECORD, The former record Is held by AY. W. P., having been made at Torre Haute In 1S9j. The announcement of the time elicited prolonged cheers. Joe Patchen appeared fairly tired after the trial, but, nevertheless, he was taken to .the stable, rubbed down and prepared for his trial again at the high wheeled sulky. The general ver dict was that he would be able to re peat his record-breaking, although the high wheeled record, held by Jonston, Is 2.0GV4, and the black would not need to go an fast ns his mile to the "wagon In order to win. After two scores, Ames signalled for the word and they were sent away, the runner trailing as before. The quarter was reached in 32, tho same time as made In the trial with the wagon, but the second quarter showed a decrease of speed, the time being 1.03. Three-quarters was reached In 1.33 flat, and the mile in 2.06. half a second short of the record. This, how ever, beats the best efforts made by John R. Gentry this season against the same mark.

It will now ho necessary for the mayor nnd comptroller to re-adver-tlse for bids for the sale of bonds to comply with tho new condition of things. LUETGERT JURY IS STILL OUT A Disagreement Is Looked l'or--lt Is Rumored That tho Jury Stands Eleven for Conviction and One Cor Acquittal. Chicago, Oct. HO. At S.30 tonight It was announced from tho office of State's Attorney Denecn that there would bo no announcement of a verdict In tho Luetgert case before the opening of court tomorrow morning. Judge Tut hlll went home eariv In the evening, leaving matters with State't. Attorney Deiieen, who wns to send him word In case a verdict should be reached dur ing the early part of the evening. Tho attorneys for tho defense nlso left and went home to await arrv word that might come from tho Jury room. The state's attorney sat in his office until S.20 and then gave orders that his office be closed. For a time tenight It was rumored that If the Jury had not agreed by to morrow It will be discharged' as toon as It reports Its Inability to reach a verdict. This, however, Is not the case. It Is the firm determination of Judge Tuthlll to keen the Jurv until Satur day night or late Saturday afternoon before he permits them to go with a disagreement. Tho jury stands about whore It stcod twenty-four hours ago. Reports vary from nine for death to three for acquit tal, to eleven for death and one for aceiulttal. The one juror holding out for Luetgert Is Harley.and It Is thought that If h'e would change front thero would be llttlo time lost in arriving at a verdict. Juror Holablrd Is nlso cred ited with favoring the acquittal of the prisoner, but It Is thought ho will come around quickly It Harley can bo Induc ed to vote for conviction. There is very little thought now of anything but a disagreement. It Is the general opinion that Harley will prove firm to the end and he may keep Hola blrd with him.
