New York, September Ist. —Henry George reached here this morning on the steamer Servia. The delegates of the Single Tax Club met George al the pier and extended a welcome. In addition a large number of single tax men marched in a body to meet him. George informed his friends that he felt tired after tbe voyage and needed a few hours' rest. He will be present at the con ference of single tax men tbis afternoon. George looked better thau at any time since the campaign of 188(3. He went to the Westminster Hotel, where he again talked to friends. He said his trip around tfae world was more successful than he anticipated, even in the protection strong holds of Australia. His most pronounced views on free trade were given an impar tial hearing eveiywhere. "Single tax clubs," be said, "had sprang up all along tbe line after my speeches. The issue has already entered Australian politics. Sir Henry Parkes, Premier of New South Wales, is a convert of ours and an earnest advocate of single tax. He used his influence to make my trip a Buccess." Two thousand people attended the recep tiou this evening to Henry George, at Cooper Union. Judge Maguire. of San Francisco, welcomed George, and verses of welcome by Frances M. Milne, of Califor nia, were read. In response, among otber utterances, George eaid tbat America was a great and beautiful land, but not free. The Americans were not free to build and sail ships; not free from the dominion of poli ticians; uot free to buy and sell a peck of apples without a license. Tbe speaker was not proud of this republic, but he had hopes of it Speaking of the dissatisfaction existing between capital and labor and tbe manner of curing it, George said: "Labor combina tions won't do it; strikes, co-operation, sharing of profits, the dealing out of cold victuals won't do it. The only thing that wUI do it is justice; the carrying into effect of the gospel of free trade. [Cheers.] 8o give every man tbat which belongs to him. What will you give him then? Single tax." [Jheers.] L ■* INTERVIEW WITH GEOEGE. The Press Committee distributed an in terview, which follows, as the sentiments of Henry George. The questions were written out and sent to George, who filled in the answers: "Will you run for Mayor?" "No." "Would yon run if a monßter petition, such as that of 1885, were presented ?" "No. I did that once under a sense of duty, but I think I discharged my duty then." "Will you run for Congress?" "No." "Under what circumstances would yon run?" "I would not run at all. I see no pros pect of circumstances that would induce me to run for anything. I have other work to do." "Will you go to Pennsylvania to stump the State for Pattison?" "I have not been asked." "Then if yon should go would Pattison commit the Democratic party to free trade?" ''I don't know how it is within my power, by doing or not doing anything, to commit the Democratic party to anything. It is committing itself to free trade pretty fast, and if I could hasten its advance to the only logical and truly Democratic position of absolute free trade, and no tariff at all, I would go further than Pennsylvania." "You have said the Salvation Army is inclined to assist the single tax movement. How far has it gone in the single tax direc tion?" "That is hardly the way I put it, I have said the Salvation Army is about begin ning to grapple with the poverty and destitution which exist in all the centers of Great Britain, and I am satisfied any at tempt of this kind mnst ultimately lead them to the single tax views. I think I am breaking no confidence in saying that Mrs. Booth, who has been a sharer of all the General's labors, and who is now pass ing to her rest through the slow agony of incurable disease, bas been for years what we would call a single tax woman. General Booth himself had not, I think, got so far, nor is tbe army in any way committed to single tax; but it has been seen that the work of true Christianity cannot be ac complished until every one who is willing to support himself by honest labor shall have an opportunity to do so." "Is there any probability of single-tax candidates being put in the field in 1892?" "I do not think there is any probability of a single-tax party being in the field, for the single-tax candidates will in many cases be run, and the Democratic party is rapidly on its way to free trade.''

Little Rock (Ark ),September Ist.—The Gazette says: "The State and county elec tions to-day passed off quietly, so far as is known. Nothing more than a few disturb ances of an ordinary character have oc curred, and these did not affect the results. Partial returns and estimates received by the Gazette from thirty of the seventy-five counties in the State indicate a largely in creased majority for Governor Eagle and the Democratic State ticket over two years ago. The Democratic majorities on county officers and legislators have been corre spondingly increased. The Democrats claim the State by from 25,000 to 30,000 majority: In the Third Ward and several townships in this (Pulaski) county double polling places were established, owing to the charge that the County Judge violated the law in appointing Judges of —lection." LODGING HOUSE BURKED. The Remains of Three of the Occupants Found in the Ruins. Dekver, September Ist.—The Wolford House took fire at 1:40 o'clock this niorn inp, burning the whole building to ashes. Tbe fire caught in room 3 on the second floor, which was occupied by an invalid, who, it is thought, kicked over a lamp and started tbe fire. Although the department was on hand promptly, the fire was under too great a headway to save the building. Three persons were burned to death and their remains were fonnd in the ruins. One has been identified as William Prior, who has been employed by the Western Union Telegraph Company as a line re pairer, but the others are unknown. Some other parties barely escaped, and everything is totally destroyed except some of the furniture. The Columbian Fair. New York. September Ist.—The Mail and Express advocates holding a Columbian Fair iv New York in 1892, and says: We nesd n*b help from Congress. We can go on independently and so may Chicago. One thousand miles is country enough to support two fairs. our 3 wiil be over be fore Chicago wishes hers to begin, and most of the exhibits can be tracsferred from ours to hers. Chicago can see that her way to get any foreign exhibits is to have them massed here firsl, and once in the country it will be for the interest of exhibitors to send them to both exposi tions Let the country demand, or even let the Eastern, Middle and Northeastern States demand a Columbian Exhibition in New York in 1892 and it will be held. Let us have a Globe's Fair in New York in 1892 and a World's Fair in I hicago in 1893. An Exploring Party. Princeton (N. J.), September Ist. —Pro- fessor Lum holts, the Norwegian explorer, famous among geographers by expeditions in Australia, is about to explore lower New Mexico and Arizona under tbe direction of the American Geographical Society of New York. About a dozen scientists, archteilo gists, botanists, and zoologists accompany him.

DISTATCHBS TO TBS RICORD-UNION.' SONS OF TOIL.. Thousands of Mechanics and Laborers Parade at the Bay.

Flags were dying from many of the business houses and from tbe na tional and municipal buildings. These, with the decorations already far advanced for the celebration of Admission Day, and the glorious sunshine, formed a scene of color unsurpassed. The weather, al though somewhat close, was not of a na ture to oppress the paraders on their long line of march. As early as 10 o'clock the crowds began to form and were mostly made up of the wives and children of the paraders. The arrangements for the par ade were so perfect that at the appointed hour, 11 o'clock a. m., it started promptly on time. Some surprise was manifested at the absence of a police escort to clear the way, which necessitated not a little de lay and frequent gaps in the procession. The line of march was from Drumm and Market to Montgomery, to Pine, to Kearny, to Market, to Van Ness avenue, where the procession countermarched across Market to Twelfth, to Thirteenth, where the review took place, after which the line entered Woodward's Gardens, where the literary exercises were carried out. The procession moved without a stop from the time it started. By actual time it was just an hour passing a given point, and was watched by thousands of people. Taken altogether the celebration of Labor Day by the different Unions was a grand success in every respect. Fully seven thousand men were in line. In the evening there was a grand ball in the pavilion at the Gardens, which brought the festivities of the day to a close. AT SEATTLE.

Acrowd of fully 20,000 people lined Front and Second streets during the parade. Two trains of fifteen cars each took the labor unions to Renton, where the afternoon was devoted to athletic sports and amusements. The best of order prevailed. When the parade pissed a building on Second street, upon which scab bricklayers and hod carriers were at work, the unions of the two trades passed and jeered them. There was no other demonstration.
