ISPECtU. TELEGRAM TO TmBISr-ATCH.1 Xew York, Sept 3. Two more cholera infected ships dropped anchor in the Lower Bay just after day break to-day, with a record between them of nine deaths from the disease on the trip across the ocean. They were the Nonnannia and the Bugia, both of the Hamburg-American line. Both of them carried into port passengers ill with a disease which Health Officer Jenkins be lieves is unquestionably cholera. At 11 o'clock to-night Dr. Jenkins, who had just returned from a visit to the two ships, reported three more deaths since the arrival of the vessels two on the Nonnan nia and one on the Bugia. This makes 12 deaths in all on the two ships. They joined their sister ship, the Moravia, which, with the Stubbenhnk, another Hamburg-American boat, which got in to-day, but with no cases of cholera aboard as far as is known, makes four vessels of that line now lying in the lower quarantine anchorage. Three Vessels Arrive In Port. The Stubbenhuk was the first of the three Hamburg boats to get in. The Stubbenhuk left quarantine for the Lower Bay at 6:10 o'clock, and ten minutes later the big 2?or mannia, with its 95 cabin passengers, w hich had come in on the Stubbenhuk, was also returned back to the Lower Bay. 2To time was lost in finding out whether she was a cholera ship or not Dr. Jenkins wanted to be on the sate side and kept all Hamnurg boats at a sate distance from New York. The Bugia, the last of the three to arrive, came up to quarantine, too, and at 6:30 o'clock she turned about and steamed down the Lower Bay at a word from Dr. Jenkins' boat. Cnarlotte Hunger, aged 9 months, a steer age passenger on the Nonnannia, died to day. Mary Bonnichsen, aged 16 months, also died during the day. The steamer Bugia reports the death of Arion Peters, aged 62 years, a steerage passenger. It is claimed that the cabin passenger who died on the Normannia was suflering from diabetes only. The deaths on the Nor mauuia when it came into port: List ot Victims, Living and Dead. Hegert, Carl, second cabin, aired OT, diag nosis cholerine, died August 29; Hegeman, Jacob, nrst cabin, aged 45, diagnosis dia betes (the ship surgeon admits that tho pa tient had diarriiooa), died September 1; Harm, Otilie, aged U months, diagnosis cholerine, died August 30; Harm, Willie, aged 3 years, diagnosis cholerine, died Soj tember 1: Scuoltze, Adolphe, aged 1 year, Omgnofeis cholerine, died September 2.

Health Officer Jenkins immediately or dered bth ships to the Lower Bav as soon as the captains of the vessels had' notified him of the condition ofaflki The Nonnannia failed fromHamburg Au- ivt 20 and touched at Southampton on her av to this po.t She carried 266 first-class gu wav to tins poi r, hue carried 266 first-class and 111 second-class passengess. Her steer age passengers were 462 in number. The first death onboard the Normannia occurred on August 29. Carl Hegert, 57 years of age, a second-class passenger, had been taken down with a disease which the ship's physician diagnosed as cholerine. A simi lar case was discovered about the same time in the steerage in the person of Otilie Harni.a child 11 months of age. The cholera symptoms developed rapidly n both cases and left no doubt in the mind of the ship's surgeon as to the nature of the disease. When Hcgert's death August 21 was fol lowed by the oeath of the other patient, the child in the steerage, on August 30, the REINFORCED authorities of the ship recognized the seri ous condition of affairs. The Disease Spreads In Spite of AI'. They at once took all possible precautions to prevent the disease from spreading among the other passengers on board the vessel. Notwithstanding their efforts, several other cases of illness of like nature were soon dis covered. The surgeon took radical meas ures. He carefully isolated all the patients, and personally saw that the utmost care was exercised by the persons engaged in nursing them to avoid communicating the disease to others. There was great alarm among the passen gers when they learned that the dread dis ease had appeared on board the vessel. The Captain did his best to allay the fears of the cabin passengers by assuring them that every effort would be made to keep the dis ease from spreading, and urged them to give him every assistance in their power to bring about that result. Then he turned his attention to the steer- I age, where the greatest danger was appre- bended. The ignorant steerage passengers were completely panic-stricken upon learn ing that cholera had appeared among them. The Captain and the surgeon ordered a care ful watch to tie kept over them. In spite of all precautions more cases soon developed. The symptoms in nearly all were alike. Quarantine Officers Board the Vessels. The Normannia came in through the Nar rows soon after 4 o'clock. Her sister ship, the Bugia, had already been boarded and sent down to the Lower Bay when the rep resentatives of the Health Office boarded the Normannia. He remained on board only a few moments, and then returned to his own boat and was rowed back to the quarantine station. He had ordered the Normannia to follow the Bugia down the bay as soon as he learned of the deaths and sickness on board. The big steamship obeyed promptly and passed between the forts within half an hour after the Bugia had gone down. She took up her position in the Lower Bay well below Hoffman island. The Bugia, the other pest ship of the Hamburg-American Packet Company, left Hamburg August 2L She had 98 cabin and 436 steerage passengers on board. She tonched at Southampton on her way over. The first death occurred a week after leaving port. Carl Koenig, 39 years of age, and Bertha Koenig, of the same age, were taken ill about the same time. They both died August 28. The symptoms of their illness were alike and were such that the ship surgeon immediately pronounced the dis ease cholerine. The Captain's Eflorts of o Avail. Captain Leithauser and the surgeon did everything to prevent the spread ot the dis ease, but the ignorance and recklessness of the steerage passengers made their efforts of no avail. Other cases of illness of a similar kind soon appeared and seven more passen gers were taken down with the disease. The Bugia arrived off Fire Island early this morning and came on through the Nar rows to the quarantine station just after daybreak. She was the first vessel boarded by Drs. Jenkins and Tallmadge. As soon as they inquired whether there had been any illness on board and had ascertained the true state of affairs, they ordered the ship to the Lower Bav. She weighed an chor at 6:10 o'clock and took up an anchor age a little south of the steamship Moravia. Dr. Jenkins issued the strictest kind of orders, and under no circumstances will he allow anyone to approach the vessels quar antined. Further cases are anticipated on the Moravia also, although the two convales cents were reported doing well this morn ing. Swinburne Island to Receive the Patients. The patients on board the Normannia, Bugia and Moravia would, it was said, probably be transferred to Swinburne Island to-day. Although the diagnosis in each case was cholerine, Dr. Jenkins did not doubt that the scourge was cholera. He says he continues hopeful of keeping the disease in the Lower Bay. However, the worst may be expected," as in 1887 there were over 50 deaths on the hospital islands and very few actual cases when the steer age was transferred. At 12 o'clock the doctors' tug was board ing the City of Borne and the TJmbria. They were trying to get rid of them in order to have the harbor clear for further arrivals. Even a worse state of affairs is anticipated on the two additional vessels expected from Hamburg within the next week. They left later than to-day's arrivals and wnen tne Qiscase Had maae greater rav ages in Hamburg. Almost all of the dead and sick on the Bugia and Aormannia hail from Hamburg or nearby ports. A few were residents of this country. The quarentine officers are in a state of nervous excitement It must be under stood that they are frightened, but they were hoping for the best, and the Norman nia was expected to get by safely. Political Fnlls Are Ineffective. When the saloon passengers on this ves sel will get off, is a question Dr. Jenkins has not yet decided. The steamboat Black bird came down with a crowd to get off two passengers on the TJmbria, but failed. They used influence with Government officers, but this made no difference. Dr. Jenkins early this morning had telegraphed for Prof. Herman Biggs, Consulting Pathologist of the Health Department, and Prof. Will iam Wells, Professor of Bacteriology of John Hopkins' TJniversitv. Thev arrived shortly after noon, and without waiting for Innch Dr. Jenkins took them down to the steamboat whart. At 8 p. m. the Normannia's mail, having beeu tnorUEhly lumigated, Y t 'temVat Jhn mH. .?.. '-itITj. i-r. . was placed on E. Moore and The steamer TJmbria left Quarantine for her pier at fi:30 this afternoon. All the first and second-class passengers were trans ferred from the City of Borne about 5 o'clock, and the steamer left for the pier at 6.30 P. m. To-morrow Dr. Jenkins pro poses to establish a quarantine patrol in the Lower Bay and keep passing vessels and newspaper tugs 1,200 feet Irom the Bugia and Normannia. Another Csse on Board the Moravia. Agent Boas, of the Hamburg-American line, received word this morning that an other passenger on the Moravia had been attacked with cholera. It was a child, 8 years old. To-morrow an armed patrol will guard Hodman Island, and no boat or vessel will be allowed to appear within at least 1,000 TIIE NOBMANNIA. feet of. the quarantined vessels or islands. None of the passengers were transferred from the ship to the island to-day. The news of deaths and sickness on the two vessels created confusion among the steamship men downtown. On the Mari time Exobange it resulted in the cancelling of several charters that had been made for German ports. Crowds flocked to the Hamburg-American packet office and tried to get some informa tion. There were half a dozen oersons in the office engaging passage when the news arrived. They acquired a violent attack of the scare and refused to buy. The Ham burg line will be obliged to send fresh food and water daily to the passengers until their vessels are unloaded. LOTTIE COLLINS ON BOARD. She and Other Famous Personages Prisoners on the Normannia. KewYobk, Sept. 3. This afternoon a representative of Charles Frohman called at the Hamburg-American Packet Com pany inquiring anxiously about Lottie Collins. He said she would be on the Nor- mannia. He also said that Mrs. Johnstone Bennett, who is to take the leading part in the production of "Jane" at the Standard Theater Monday evening, had sailed from Havre and will arrive here to-morrow. The vessel will, of course, be detained for sev eral days,and the play will have to be post poned until she is released. Amcng the passengers on the Normannia were Lottie Collins, A. M. Pamier, wife and. daughter, E. L. Godkin and wife, Hon. A. Wellington Wallace, Prof. Xavier Scharwenka, Mr. and Mrs. C. a Van Bennselaer.lDigby Bell, Josephine Knapp and Laura Joyce Bell. ACTION AT WASHINGTON. Norfolk Threatens to Quarantine New Tork Dr. Jenkins' Assertion of Authority Discussed Spaulding Says tho Govern ment Can Prevent the landing; of Ships. Washington, Sept a tor. Wyman has received a telegram from the quaran tine officer at Norfolk, Va., stating that he would declare a quarantine against New Yorksteamers if it is true that Dr. Jenkins has refused to abide by the 20-day quaran tine circular. A letter has been received from Surgeon Wheeler, at Ellis' Island, stating that the President's order meets with almost universal approval. The attitude of Dr. Jenkins, the New York health officer, was the engrossing tonio In official circles in this city to-day. Fear is expressed that the moral effect ot it may be such as to have some influence on health officers at other ports, who may be led to declare independence of the President's order as Dr. Jenksns is reported to have done. Assistant Seoretary Spaulding said there is no occasion for friction in the ad ministration of the quarantine regulations, and he did not think any existed. Mr. Spaulding said the Government, through its customs service, could prevent thelanding of passengers and merchandise if it was not satisfied with the length of nine u vessel was aetainea at quarantine by theState officers. The Government would hesitate long, however, before taking such a step as that, after the vessel had been released by the State officials, who would be pretty sure to see that there was no dan ger of the introduction of cholera before letting her go. The President designated Dr. E. O. Shakespeare, of Pennsylvania, to proceed under the direction of the Secretary of State to Spain and such other countries of Europe, where the cholera existed in 1885, to investigate the causes, progress and proper prevention and cure of the disease for a report to Congress. Later Dr. Shakespere was directed to proceed to India for the same purpose. A prociammation to the country warning boards of health and the people generally to oe on ineir guard agatnst the intectlon will be the next important move ot the Presi dent LA. BOTJBQOaiTE 5IVES.

She comes from an iifected port and has a large list of passengers. Four vessels are efpected in late to-night or same time to-yorrow. They are the Darmstadt from Bremen, where she left August 24; the Elysia from Mediterranean ports, the Fuldi from Genoa and the Lotimbo from Gibraltar. The first two are looked upon with grave suspicion. IT'S EASY TO GET IHE0TJGH. Official Iiplanatlon That Harrison's Proc lamation Doesn't Mean Mnch. Washington, Sept a In view of the evident misunderstanding by many persons of the President's quarantine circular of last Thursday, Assistant Secretary Spaulding this evening explained its scone. The eir. cular, he stated, applies only to vessels carrying immigrants and sailing from in fected portsafter the date upon which the circular was issued. The circular does not apply to cabin pas sengers if they are furnished with a cer tificate of health by the health officer of the port Neither does it necessarily applv to steerage passengers if citizens of the United States and they are furnished the requisite health certificate.

The port physician has ordered the 623 steerage passengers with their baggage to be taken to Galloupes Island where they will be bathed and their baggage fumigated.

The Californian Forced to Show Ilimself in Washington. JOHNSON SNEAKS THROUGH. TENNESSEE trKOM A 6TATF COBBESFONDENT. AsbubyPark, N. J., Sept a Fully 1,000 people were at Asbury Park railroad station to-day to see Pugilist James Corbett embark for his journey to New Orleans. For fully 15 minutes the big Californian stood beside the tallyho that brought him and his trainers to the depot and shook hands and received good wishes and kind words from all. It was nothing strange that ladies pushed through the big crowd and forced their way up to the smiling fellow and extended their dainty hands to him and wished him well. One young lady who early in the season placed a neat little sum upon the Cali fornian winning the fight went up to Corbett, and taking from under her wrap a 12x8 American flag, made of silk, presented it to him with her wishes for his success. With a neat bow and a smile the man who is ready to meet the world's champion accepted the flag, which he will carry with him until after the fight As the train pulled out Corbett stood on the rear end of the last car and waved his flag to the crowd. A Good-bye Kiss Tor His 'Wire. Corbett spent the morning in punching the bag, playing baseball and hand-ball. Just before leaving he opened the hand-ball court and gave a free exhibition of wrestling with McVey, the heavy-weight wrestler. A thousand people had gathered at the cottage to bid him adieu. Just 03 Corbett was finishing his wrest ling with McVey a carriage drove up to the cottage and out jumped a handsome young woman. It was Corbett's wife, who had come to give him a farewell kiss. Corbett's last words to his friends, were: "I will never be whipped." The Corbett special, which composed the second section of the regular 39-hour lim ited of the Bichmond and Danville Bail road, left Jersey City sharp at 4:45 p. m. It was composed of eight sleep ing coaches, and carried 160 pas sengers from New York City Two more sleepers were taken on at Wash ington. The sleeper Idlewild was chartered specially by a party from Newport D. J. Lyncb, of WalUngfordrConn., ansS21arty of nine occupied a portion of the sleeping car Southrow. "Eobert McGrath, of Water bury, Conn., and a partv of friends occupied a portion of the same car. Arrival of the Train at Washington. At Washington the party was joined by Mike Donovan and many others. Donovan has ?5,000 to bet on Corbett, providing he can get odds of two to one or better, unless it is at the ringside, when he is instructed to put it up at the best odds he can get When the train reached Wilmington, Del., mere was a crowa oi several tnonsand per sons assemoiea to see uorbett Jim Corbett and party arrived at Wash ington at 9.05 this evening on the Con gressional limited. He immediatelv en tered the Pullman sleeper Courtier, which, with a combination car, fitted up for exer cising, had been reserved to convey them to New Orleans. Corbett said he never felt better in his life. Corbett was advertised in the morning papers here to appear at Albaugh's Opera House at Washington this evening in a sparring exhibition with his trainer. Al though strongly protesting against it, he was finally prevailed upon to make his ap pearance upon the stage. He was dressed in an evening suit, and bowed his acknowl edgments lor the applause with which he was received, jmo exhibition was given. The train left the station on its way South at about 11 o'clock, Corbett's Car Is n Cuckoo. The special car in which Corbett is to sleep and do his training is one of the Bich mond and Danville combination cars, and has been fitted out especially for Corbett It is a baggage and smoking car combined, with the baggage end padded and fitted out as a gymnasium, with a punching bag suspended from the ceiling, and, in fact, everything that is required. The smoking end is to be used exclusively for Corbett, and all the seats on one side have been removed in order to make a sleeping compartment for him. In fact, the very bed he used at Asbury Park was sent on to Washington to be placed in his car, so that he will have no change of beds. In addi tion to this special car there was a Pullman observation car placed at Corbett's disposal for himself and party. The eight sleepers comprising the train were the Idlewild, New Hampshire, Marine, Vossar, Southrow, Otranto, Haidee and Armada. It was btated by Mr. Jacobs, of Texas, that 2,500 tickets have been sold for the fight down through Texas and as far down as the City of Mexioo, Arthur B. Conway has $3,000 with him from New York to place on Corbett at the best odds hecan get at the ring side. The choice combination of those on the Corbett special is Corbett, McAuliffe and Dixon, although there are some very strong Sul livan men in the party who do not see how it is possible for the big fellow to lose. Sullivan Hearing New Orleans. The staff correspondent of The Dispatch aboard the Sullivan train, telegraphs to night Irom .Birmingham, Ala.: As an nounced in The Dispatch, Blithedale, with Sullivan and immediate party aboard, was away from the main train just fore reaching the Tennessee line, a new engine was attached to the his cat the six cars remaining. The Blithedale was side. tracked-for ten minutes and the train was sent ahead to divert suspicion from the Sul livan car. Johnson, who is under indict ment in Tennessee for the part he took in the Sullivan-Kilrain affair, was pretty well agitated, and the conductor -promised him that there would be no stops save to take coal and water at some obscure station in the mountains. The first section, containing the general party, was to draw up at the Chattanooga station for breakfast about 9 o'clock, and while the crowd mobbed the excursionists in searched of Sullivan, and the authonties looked forJohnBon, the Blithedale would be drawn through tho yards behind the station, and, making no stops, would be far away before the crowd realized they had been duped. There was a most demonstra tive throng at Chattanooga, and wniie they nerc entering ana moating in " mo j no l'"i j, ? :. t ii ' II Wrr-- - JMlil ' I yfff i'1 '111 lili jfBll . fcfili To Eiercise Such pors He Doesjfotl -33rT-ji lllFREE l'Pi.yip SMmm?

It transpired that the breakfast had been ordered by somebody on the Blithedale and the company refused to accept any pay ment. That being the case, a number of persons went on a foraging expedition and ate and drank whatever they jcould get at the neighboring farmhouses. Sullivan breakfasted very heartily, par taking of fried chicken, chops, stale bread and iced tea. When the remainder of the party arrived from Chattanooga at 10:30 o'clock, Superintendent McCarthy, who had charge of the train, told how a deputy sheriff had been on a still hunt for Johnson while the party was at breakfast. He scruti nized every man at table and was not content until he had looked in every nook and corner on board the cars. John son was troubled when told about the inci dent, and said he guessed he would go home by some railroad that did not run through Tennessee. Sullivan -nas awake at 0 o'clock, having spent a very good night. The big fellow has traveled constantly for years, and he can sleep anywhere. As soon as he had dressed the champion turned to his trainer and asked: "How about a little work this morning?" "Just the thing." was Phil's comment, and the boss handball player of the world went ofl to prepare the baggage car. Steve Brodle's Champagne Punished. Billy Bond, the little Jap who is always at Sullivan's elbow, carried the huge sweat ers, Turkish towels, the skipping rope, rat tan ball and all tne other paraphernalia used to keep a prize fighter in trim into the car, and then went to woke Jack Ashton, who has been having a glorious time, helping Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll and Liner Tracy punish Steve Brodie's case ot "champagne. Jack was hardly in the humor to pass the ball. or help rub anybody down, but at a wink from Sul livan's good-natured heavy-weight sparring partner, got into his clothes and followed the party to the baggage car. Sullivan had not been shaved since he left New York on Thursday, and his blue black beard is now an eighth of an inch long. He was not the sweetest looking in dividual, therefore, as he picked up the rope and began his exercise by jumping the hempen straw 500 times. He blowed some, but not more than -would be expected after such exertion. Casey and Ashton then took turns in passing the ball to him, and soon the per spiration was coming down the champion's face and neek in crystal streams. This was kept up 45 minutes, and then Casey gave orders to strip. The shirts and sweaters, wet with perspiration,were peeled from the great lighter s body, and (Jasey, Ashton and Morgan went ot him with rough, dry towels. Ready for Any Emsrgency. "When the champion's skin was growing cherry red, Casey ordered the Jap to bring a bucket of water tbat stood in one end of the car. Huge chunks of ice had been put in it an hour before, and it was chilled so the hand could scarcely be held in it, A sponge bath of this ice water wound up the morn ing's work, and when the champion had put on a change of clean, dry clothing, he announced himself readv for any emergency. This place was reacted at 1:30 o'olock, where a good dinner was served. Sullivan's reception was as warm as at anyplace along the line, men and boys, and not a few women; crowding about tne Hllthedale. crazy to feast their eyes on the greatest fighter of modern days. The champion went to sleep about 11 o'clock, near Hattiesburg, Miss. He is feeling well physically, and has not the slightest notion that it will be possible for Corbett to defeat him. His calm and com placent confidence in himself is unshaken. The train of the champion made a briefJ stop at tiattiesnurg. it will probably ar rive in New Orleans about daylight.

The crowd is beginning to arrive, and New Or leans is putting on thoroughly sporting airs. Fakirs on street corners are selling Sullivan and Corbett medals, pictures and prize fight guides. The railroad men figure on 10,000 visitors. A delegation of nearly 300 Chi cagons came in to-day on Myer's train. Other delegations came from New York, St. Paul. Leadville, Buffalo, Detroit, Albany, Boston, Brooklyn and the far "West. Two big specials reached here over the Illinois Central and one over the Queen and Orescent irom Chicago.

JL GROYERWHEBE All I ATT A HISTORICAL HEIFER Will Be the One That Boldly Attacked Gladstone the Other Day. RELICS OP IT BEING GOOD MONEY. Proposed Worrying Scheme of the Tories That the Grand Old Man WILL IGN0EB FROM THE BEGINNING rST CABLE TO THI DISPATCrf.l London-, Sept 3. Copyright. Politics have dropped quite out of sight this week as a subject of popular concern. There has been much more interest in Mr. Gladstone's personal encounter with a cow on his Ha warden estate Tuesday than in his plans for securing home rule for Ireland. The unruly beast who tackled the Prime Minis ter and placed him hors-de-combat won al most as great distinction as did the animal whose rampant hoofs upset Mrs. O'Leary's lamp and destroyed Chicago. The head of Her Majesty's Government rallied as promptly after the attack as did Chicago. The fate of the unscrupulous cow was the same in each case one perished in the flames of her own kindling and the other was shot for the crime of lese-majesty. We havs no mementoes of the Chicago animal. Not so the Gladstone heifer. A butcher bought the hide for 2, and imme diately closed with an offer of 5 for the trophy. The marksman who shot the beast has taken the head, horns and hoofs to Chester for preservation. He has refused au offer of 10 made by one of the grand old man's admirers. It may be added that the teeth of the animal are finding a ready market at half a crown each. This mercenary turn to his adventure makes Mr. Gladstone fear that other owner of wild cows may turn their animals into Hawarden Fark'in the hope that they will win a similar distinction and consequent historical value. Ziabouchere Makes Oat No Caie. The publication of the Labouchere-GIad-stone correspondence in Truth has added nothing to the public knowledge of the real cause of Labouchere's exclusion from office, and affords no ground for altering the views set forth in The Dispatch a week ago, Mr. Labouchere produces no evidence to prove his reiterated and emphatic assertion that the Queen interfered in the matter,' and Labouchere ha3 (rone off on a loner con tinental holiday, and the controversy, as far as he is coucerned, is apparently closed. Mr. Morley has not yet settled down to work in Ireland and people are becoming impatient. They want to know whether the Government intends to do anything for the evicted tenants, many of whom are upon the verge of starvation. The subject is an extremely difficult one, but it must be faced, and at least one Cabinet Minister standi publicly pledged to deal with the interests of the tenants. Publicity has been indiscreetly given to a plan which certain younger Tories are quietly arranging for worrying Mr. Glad stone next session. They will insist that he shall lead the House of Commons actu ally, and not merely nominallv; tbat is to say, he must be in his place at Westminster Palace from the opening to the close of Parliamentary business. Should he be ab sent at any time these chivalrous young bloods will move the adjournment of the House "in order to raise a constitutional question of the first order." A Touch as Well as a Grand Old Man. In the course of this year Mr. Gladstone has encountered a severe attack of influ enza, has been half-blinded and found his sight again, has emerged smiling from be neath an enraged cow, has undertaken long and tiring journey sand has done as much hard work as half a dozen average public men, and to-day he is active and as cheer ful as ever he was. It is evident, there fore, that he is and was a phenom enally tough old gentleman, and it is more than probable tbat he could endure long hours and hard work in Parliament, should need arise, as well as the youngest of hit enemies. But he will not permit Tories, young or old, to arrange his work or his time for him. He will please himself in regard to his attendance at the House of Commons, leaving the conduct of its business, when he is not present, in the capable hands of Sir William Harcourt. It is learned to-day that Mr. Baltour, who is a chivalrous enemy when away from Ire land, has caused to be made known in the proper quarters his. entire disapproval of the mean policy of worry, which in cone quence may fall still-born. Although Mr. Gladstone remains nt Hawarden, he is not idle The staffofthu local postoffice has been increased, and the Premier's private wire to London is kept busily engaged from morning to night. Con trary to published reports notbmg has yet been arranged in connection with Mr. Glad stone's European holiday trip, and it is as likely as not that he will remain in Eng land the whole winter.

A Printer Gets the Worst or It While Showing a Tramp Brother the Town He Gets a Fatal Slugging Story Told by the Tramp. New Yoke, Sept. 3. Sptctai. M. J. Walsh, a wandering printer, ill-clad and weary-looking, came to New York from Scranton last night, and to-day went with a local printer, Thomas Cowes, up Baxter street, ''to see how they live" there. After b eing tackled by two pullers-in, and let go because they had no money, they started to cross the street What followed this is best told by Walsh: "Cowes told me," he said, "that the only way to get rid of those pullers-in was either to show fight or call the police. We crossed the street, and were passing the store that has 'No. 4' painted on the win dow. There was a crowd of toughs stand ing between that and the corner store, and one of them, a big, strapping fellow, who seemed to be a little drunk, rushed forward, grabbed Cowes by the coat lapels, and shook him. He mimicked the Hebrew ac cent and said: "You want to buy a suit?' "Cowes pushed him off and said: "Let me alone.' Without saying a word he struck Cowes a terrible blow In the nech. nnder the left ear, with his fist BeforeV Cowes coma fall he struck him again and again. "Cowes staceered and tried to raise his arm, but could not do so. He mumble something that I did not catch, and then fell into my arms. "A crowd had gathered, but the man who struck him had disappeared. They brought mi. a glass of ice water, and I poured some on Cowes' face. It had no eflect He did not open his eyes once, or say a single word. I think it was half an hour before the ambu lance came, but a few minutes before I heard the bell Cowes died." The body was taken to the Elizabeth street station, and Walsh, Samuel Williams, the proprietor of the 'store at "No. 4," and two of his "pullers in." JoseDh Harris and Isaac Comminsky, were held by the police as witnesses. EXCURSION BOAT ATTACKED. Soldiers Board the City or Pittsburg and Arrest Five Men. The City of Pittsburg Tan an excursion yesterday from the Union American Cigar Company's employes to Lock No. 4. There were about 700 on board. While passing the Homestead mills on their way up the excursionists called the men working in the mills "scabs," lacksheep," etc. When the boat returned about 10 o'clock last night tha Little Bill, with 20 soldiers aboard, stopped the Little Bill and arrested five excursionists. Little Bill carried no signal lights, and a collision was narrowly averted. In the excitement attending the arrest Miss Palmer had her ankle broken by being tramped upon by the soldiers in charging the men on the City of Pittsburg. Captain Klein, com andingthe boat, said last night: "I intend to inquire into this matter and see why the soldiers should have taken the men from my boat as they did. A. panio was narrowly averted and a large number of lives were in danger." My office did all in their power to prevent the pas sengers calling out as they did, but could not succeed."

Y., Sept a President Harrison and party arrived here from Wasivl ' ington at 12:30, en route for Loon Lake; ' The citizens of Plattsburg assembled to) i tender the distinguished party a reception. The President was escorted to the Fouquet J House, where an elaborate dinner had been , prepared. Yielding to pressure, the President mads J a brief speech. There was much that wa $ pleasant and profiting in the reception, bufcjjtj tnere was one incident he did not like, lit was not consonant with his feelings to loot' down upon his fellow citizens (the Presi-i dent was speaking from an neper veranda of the hotel). He said the ground upon ' which he stood was consecrated by events which had transpired in our early ' struggles for independence. Tha Champlain and the Hudson, in early days, were made avennes of invasion and disquiet by the Indians who nsed thesa channels to attack and destroy white set tlements. Later, others, more civilized but not less hostile, seized npon these channels of communication.. It was a glad thing that they were now avennes of peaceful inter course betwee n ourselves and the dominion ' of Canada. Harrison Explains His Mission. So great has been that development)! wnicn nas come under the blessing ot liod-'J iiuu su great we power oi our people, saiatf the President, that we do not stand in feapj ot men.

The Presidentthen spoke of the reason for his hurried visit to Washington, the threat- ".' ened coming of cholera, and said he couldy' not quite accept that view of constitutional , law which he had seen in some nnartera.'A;i that the power to "repel invasion" extended 1 to the invasion of Tjlatrue and nestilence."! The policy of our Government has been to leave to the States the exercise of thesa rawers of quarantine to keep out disVise. The National Government has! the-Vnty of hearty co-operation. Thii? attune-Jie had endeavored tot maintain andVrsfngthen. He would greatly'' regret if the Statsaafhorits iiyUr should fail to accept that offer of co-operation in a friendly spirit He had felt that the extreme susgestfon of convening an extra session of Congress with a view to conferring upon the national Government- mesa powers wag not in this emergency tha best Time would be consumed in securing , the necessary legislation and much mora "ujt, ju uio proper equipment oi quaranuns j agencies in all our ports. v Co-Operation the Best Plan. It seemed to the President, therefore, that it would best serve the public interest and protect the homes of his fellow-citizens to promptly co-operate with the State au thorities, and to exercise those powers already conferred by law. For performing this plain duty, he deserved no man'a thanks. Great applause. All thesa , efforts to keep out the cholera by guarding our own seaports would now, however, give full protection, - . and he had directed the Secretary of tha' Treasury to send a special azent to confer with our consuls on the Canadian seaboard, and to watch incoming vessels and to solicit the co-operation of the Canadian authori ties, so that the infection might not be in troduced through interior lines of commu- nication. The President deprecated any nnneces-1 sary alarm. Alarm that would result la r -, the proper sanitation of our cities, towns) M and villazes Is wholesome and com menda-HP ble, but alarm that becomes terror or panio ?'- is unwholesome and unmanly.
