The town Is full erf hubbub mid grotesquery incidental to the campaign and the Equal Rights party is so gv- -rally subjected to ridicule that nothing unreasonable is seen in this demonstration at the first look.

As for MOB- dames Lockwood, Gilbert, and Leonard, they are going through with a pretense of a canvass with serious BBLVA. LOCKWOOD. faces and energetic talk. Bolvo bos made stumping trips in all directions, and will koop at it until the Saturday night preced- ng the election. Sho has not yet been able to complete her sets of candidates for electors in many of the states.much less to recruit an army of voters, but she says that those who dosiro to vote for her will be enabled to do so.

They may make sure of ballots by writing to her at 150 West Twenty-third street. She is now in town, and is personally perfecting arrangements for election day In this city There are thus far registered In Now York I two women, and as nobody can vote without registration that would seem to bo tho total possible number of ballots cast for even admitting the possibility that those two will bo permitted to vote. But Belva declares thut tho Equal Rights parly is making a moral effort upon tho nation, anyhow. Linda Gilbert has been suspected of disloyalty to tho cause. Sho seemed little too proud to associate with the out and-out agitators of woman's rights, and only accepted the nomination for govornor lato in the campaign.

Sho has not spent enough time at the headquarters, or effort anywhere else, to satisfy her companions. Nevertheless, she avows herself a sincere men: her of tho Equal Rights party and promises to undertake to vote. As she has not registered, there would seem to be a difficulty in the way of carrying out that intention. Linda LIMDA QrLBSM! was favored above Belva and Cynthia by tbo Women's National Christian Temperance union, at whose convention she was welcomed by the loaders, while her two sisters on tho ticket wore frowned away. Cynthia Leonard, the candidate for mayor, may bo not unjustly styled tho sans culotte of the cause.

She Is ono of the two women who succeeded in registering, and the innpectors at that partlcticular polling place await election day with considerable dread. Cynthia Is going there to vote. They aro under instructions to decline her ballot Then thore will bo a row of words- such profuse and emphatic words as Cynthia is famous for using. Sho says that she will march to the spot at the head of 600 women, and she intimates that a riot is not altogether impossible. However, as a demonstration planned by her In Harlem, in which a largo number of women wero to march in a body to tho registration places, resolved Itself down to herself and four companions, there is hope that we will escape her feminine mob election day.

Heavy and murky was the outside atmosphere when a reporter started out to interview Mi's. Look wood nt 150 West Twenty- third street, whore the candidate was found discussing the situation with Cynthia Leonard and her pretty daughter, Miss Hattie Leonard. Mrs. Leonard was calmly reposing in a folding bed, with her head buried deep In a downy pillow of spotless blue.

At the southern end of the stable reposed the corpse in a handsome black cloth-covered casket wit heavy silver handles. Tho plate read: "Le Yu Doo, died Oct 10th, 1888. Aged years." The body was exposed to the waist, on the breust of which was a number of slips 01 paper. Thoso represent the good will of hia friends aud pass-ports to the Celestial king dom. A long narrow strip of yellow cam brio emblazoned with white figures with black spots at the top stood at the sido of the casket The white figures represent the sins of tho deceased over which he must climb to reach the black spots typical of heaven.

The body, which was embalmed by Professoi Ronnurd, ot tho United slates College of Embalming, looks remarkably life-like. At the foot of thn casket wus a table spread for a meal. On it wore chop sticks and plates on which rested stack of Mundarion oranges, a pile of dyspeptic looking dough biscuits, and a conical shapod mass of paste. Several plutea of preserves were also thore. Next to it was tuble ou which wore two largo bods of white flowers flanking a very largo roasted pig.

A third table representod a sort of altar on which burned joss-sticks and candles. About this latter table stood livo or six Chinamen in light blue suits of cambric, strongly suggestive of dominos.

The president would not express an opinion on Lord Sackville's action, but said he did not understand how any one could have been deceived by the let- tor, as it was worse than tho Moruy letter and showed its purpose in every line.

NEW YonK, Oct 80. Herald calls at- tentiou to the fact that it will bo impossible for all tho citizens who have registered in this city to vote, owing to tho unexpected Increase in their number, while tho number of polling places has not been Increased. In some districts there are over 1,000 namei registered. The law requires the polls to open at 6 m. and close at 4 p.

and it it impossible for 1,000 votes to be cost with the necessary formalities in 600 minutes It Is doubtful if 400 can be cast in every district in time, yet in 217 districts the average registration is aud in many it is over OOa. The Herald also points out the opportunities thus afforded for intentional delays and concludes that from 20,000 to 30,000 persons will bo disfranchised, even under the most favorublo circumstances.

NEW YOHK, Oct The Herald'a Washington special says the belief growi that Lord Suclcvillo's letter was not a blunder but was inspired by a desire on the minister's part to hurt the administration.

Tho correspondent claims to have Information that Lord Backville, whilo seeming to up- prove tho administration's suggestions for settlement of tlio Bunioau difficulty eighteen mouths ago by a joint American, English nml German council to manage the affairs of the island, was withholding information that England was acquiescing in Germany's seizure of tho Islands, and thut when Secretary Bayard luarnod of his dupliciiy lie ceased to be ou cordial terms with the minister.

Some were dressed in uniforms indicative of the different bands to which they belonged. Banners and lantors of peculiar colors and designs were carried by the Chiuamen. As they entered tho stable they ranged themselves on both sides ot the corpse and tables. When they entered tho inineso cymbals were struck nnd comparative quiet reigned. For a time there was a great bustling about.

The edibles wera repeatedly changed from table to table, and in addition to those already there a skinned and dressed goat was brought forward on a tray together with a dressed pig. These were finally placed on thn table near tho casket and surrounded with pies. Some paper flowers wore then placed upon the altar, and a huge floral Masonic tribute was placed at the foot of the casket. A now set of officials then took charge of the ceremonies. These wero dressed In gray with red caps, and wore Masonic Everybody jabbered at this point.

Tho native band played on instru- inonta that sounded like discordant bagpipes, and wero followed by a short dirge rendered by Lowell's military baud. Cymbals crashed again, the Chinese fiddles moaned and the chief priest began an intonation in which the presence of the Almighty was invoked. A complicated ritual was then performed before each of the tables by oho high priest, and two satellites, thn leader keeping up a wail in a penetrating falsetto voice. A number of papers wore then burned In a large tin pan, tho officiating priests making low obeisances before the flames. All present kept their hajs on, nnd tho majority either smoked cigars or cigarettes.

They seemed to be very lil.tlo awe-stricken by the solemnity of the occasion, nnd laughed'and talked throughout the greater part of the ceremony as though they were enjoying a picnic. An old follow in a yellow gown trimmed with black advanced with his head bowed to tho alter, where ho threw himself prostrate and began to sing a weird hymn with a number of versos. At the conclusion of his song ho advanced to tho coflin, placed his I Ips on the glass and uttered three terrifically long wails mid then bucked away from the corpse. This ceremony was repeated by another agodCMnnmon. Throughout this ceremony tho Chinese In pairs'con- tinued to present themselves before the tables and pour out thu wine and rlco into tin troughs.

At tho conclusion of tho services, at 3 o'clock, a procession was formed, the casket sealed and placed in a hearse, nnd the fu- ueral cortege started for Evergreens cemetery, where tho interment took place.
