"Washington, Sept. 3 The officials of
the administration to-day continued un
willine to say anything, even in the most
unofficial manner, to npset Dr. Jenkins'
theory and assertion of State rights. They
say it will he time enough to come to a
trial of strength when the health officer at
New York takes some step that is at vari
ance with the order of the President.
It is by some admitted that it wai an
oversight, however, that the difference be
tween the power of the State and of the
Federal Government was not more clearly
defined, as it was quite certain that some
nincompoop of a health officer somewhere
would try to advertise the grandeur of his
litt'e brief authority, even at the expense
oflileandthe health of thousands. It is
thought that Dr. Jenkins and the Attorney
General of Xeir York, now that they have
had their deliverance, will fettle down to
business, and that the last thing they will
attempt to do will be to make a practical
assertion of the superiority of their author
ity over that of the President ot the United
States by admitting cholera-laden vessels,
or.my essels whatever, contrary to the
spirit of the order of the President.
"A Conflict Criminal at Prespnr.
"When the least infraction of the spirit
of the order issued from the Treasury De
paitment Thursday is committed by Dr.
Jenkins or any other New York State offi
cial, or any official of any of the States,
the people of the country will quickly find
out who is the superior power in this coun
try," taid a high legs' authority of the ad
ministration 10-day. "Though some dis
agree with me," he continued, "I do not
think it would have been wise to go into
anv discussion or any explanation of the
order of Thursday. It would have been
unwise to have assumed in the faintest
manner that there could happen anv occur
rence so foolish as a discussion of authority
where every citizen posFessed of an atom of
tense would be thought anxious to work
with every other citizen to the end that the
cholera might be kept from gaining a foot
hold if pos-iole.
"Of course, a Collector of Customs has
the power to preent any vessel from en
tering the port where he is stationed if
thereis good reason for doing sa I do not
think it would be well for a Collector ot a
port to act upon his own responsibility as
a Collector; but in case a disposition be
shown by any of the authorities of the
State to" vitiate the order of the Federal
Government in the interest of the health of
the ccuntrv, the Government can quickly
as.scrt its absolute right to supplement and
control the quarantine, that the foolish act
of a State official may not endanger life and
health throughout the length and breadth
of the land.
Iitchi f the General Government,
"The State may make and enforce such
laws as are deemed necessary for the safety
aid h -al'Ii ot the State but in all matters
of foreign commerce, or in case of foreign
invasion of any kind, the general Govern
ment has the right and the power, aside
lrom any of the questions involved in the
old do;ma of State rights, not to go counter
to the laws and regulations of the State, but
to go to whatever length beyond and above
the laws of the State is necessary for the
protection of the people of all of the
State. The federal power may not do less
than the State, but it may do infinitely
moic, to that extent which is prudent and
sensible.
"Suppose a State should refuse to enact
any laws or regulations at all to prevent the
entrance of a plague, or suoula altord only
partial protection; surely the 44 States
ot the w hole federation must not be left
wholly at the ineicy of such a chance. Even
in the contingency tiiat Congress may not
have enacted specific laws to reach such a
case, or the passage of an act placing the
qucrantiiie abvolutelv under the control of
the Federal Government, as it might do
under laws ard decisions and precedents al
most numberless, the President may take
tne matter in his hands and issue a proclama
tion that shall be absolute.
No Slistikct About tlin Fremlsrs.
"I only regret that the Preiident did not
tise firmer and farther-reaching language in
his brief order ot Thursdav, but there can
be no mistake about his power in the prem
ises a the State authorities ot Sew York
will discover it they attempt to do less than
is contemplated in the order. I fancy that
no such attempt will be made, and especially
in iewot the fact that vessel after vessel
is arriving with cholera cases on board and
with reports of deaths from cholera during
their voyage. I have every assuiance that
the order will be as comprehensit e in its effect
as though it had been absolute and with an
assumption of sole authority."
Jne of the most important incidents of
the dav in connection with the treatment ot
the cholera question was the arrial of Dr.
Hamilton, late Surgeon General of the
Tilaritie ilomtal Service, but now engaged
as an instructor in one of the Western med
ical collegei at Chicago. Dr. Hamilton
conies at the riqu"st of the Secretary ot the
Treasury and will be assigned to assist in
th organization and supervision ot the
quarantine. He is still a surgeon in the
Marine Hospital Service and at the com
mand of the Government. Dr. Wyman,
who is uow Supervising Surgeon General ot
the ten ice, has proed himself to be
very euergttic, but his head has been
somewhat swelled by the suddenly in
creased importance of his position, and be
sides that, he is i.ot as thorough an organ
iser as Dr. Hamilton, who has passed
through a uumber of invasions by one
plague cr another, and has shown excep

Dr. Hamilton had a conference with Dr.
W fflan ai.d the Secietaryof the Treasury

in the main with what has been done, and
ready to do anything that is required of
him to assist at tne prevention ot the spread
ot the contagion in this country. It is de
sjred that he shall have special oversight of
the Canadian border, which is considered
on" of the most dangerous points, but he
will be at all times ready to give advice in

Settlement ot a Yexd Question.
Though the Board of Finance of the
World' Columbian Exposition at Chicago
has not announced to the public that it has
decided upon a design for the souvenir half
dollar, word has been received here to that
effect from Director General Davis, and
there is much satisfaction expressed on ac
count of the disposal of the vex
ing matter. On the one side will
be a portrait of Columbus, which Is
a facsimille of that which was used for one
side of the memorial medal issued by the
Government ot Spain on the occasion of the
celebration of the quadri-centenniai of the
departure of Columbus on his voyage of dis
covery. The decision was reached upon uie
strength of a pictorial reproduction ot this
medal, "Illustraciou Hispanola X Ameri
cana," of the issue of July 30.
Whence the Government of Spain se
cured a copy of the picture is not known
here, but it is supposed it is from that
portrait of Columbus that Is supposed to be
most authentic It represents Columbus as
an elderlv and dignified man with flowing
locks, and it is altogether a pleasing figure,
whether it be anything like the man or not.
The portrait was sent from the ofiVe of the
Director of the Mint, and the suggestion
was made at the same time that an appro
priate design for the reverse side of the
half dollar would be a map of the Western
Hemisphere. The suggestions of the Di
rector of the Mint seem to have been ac
cepted, and therefore the danger of a war
between the respective champions of the
two portraits by Lotto and Suardo Is hap
pily averted.

New Tobk, Sept. 3. Special." Chair
man Carter, of the National Republican
Committee, left town this afternoon for
Long Branch. It is doubtful if he returns
before Tuesday. He announced that head
quarters would not be open Uabor Day.
Mr. Carter, General Clarkson and Treasurer
Bliss, like their Demociatic opponents at
Mr. Harrity's bureau, have had a rushing
week. Ex-Senator Thomas W. Palmer,
President of the World's Fair Commission,
John P. Saborn, and Henry Howard made
up a delegation from Michigan, and pleased
Mr. Carter with theirs views.
Mr. Palmer said: "The Republicans of
Michigan are enthusiastic, and can be de
pended upon as they have been heretofore
in Presidental contests, although under the
new law by which electors are elected, by
Congressional districts, the Democrats will
get three of the 14 electors. I think it is
better tft concede them a chance at four,
which is the utmost limit of their possibili
ties." Ex-Representative William M. Moore, of
Memphis, told Mr. Carter that he might
nope for Republican success in Tennessee,
through the aid of Governor Buchanan's
candidacy.
Chairman Carter's dav was chiefly taken
up consulting with a number ot Irish-American
Republicans.
It was announced at headquarters that
ex-Senator Thomas C Piatt is preparing
his iews on the Republican situation.
After his consultation with the grand
mars'ials of the Demrcratio camp to-day,
Mr. Carlisle gave out this expression of his
opinions on the situation: Mr. Cleveland
was the first and only President
since the war who fully recognized
vtlie Southern States as equal members of
the Union, and he was the first and only
one who ignored all sectional lines and all
sectional prejudices in appointment to office
and in the general policy ot the administra
tion. "In New York, New Jersey.Connecti
cut and Indiana we are, I think, in a much
better condition than in '83," said Senator
Carlisle, "while Massachusetts, which was
then one of the most reliable Republican
States, is now, to ay the very least, a
doubtful one. I think the election of a
Democratic President and Vice President
bv the votes of the people is reasonably cer
tain, but it wili not be accomplished without
hard work all along the line."

FIERCE M0B8 PRETEST AN AUTOPSY
Bekltx, Sept, a The intelligence in re
gard to the condition of affairs in Hamburg
shows that the decrer -e in the violence of
the epidemio there is slowly becoming no
ticeable, although in the center of the city
the ambulances are at preseut busier than
ever.
Publio charity and medical societies'
committees are engaged in the work of pal
liating widespread distress caused by the
ravages of the disease. Special measures
are being adopted to provide for numerous
children who have been made orphans
through the epidemic. The interments of
bodies are now being made in a more expe
ditious manner than formerly. Yesterday
the remains of 590 victims were deposited
in the earth, and arrangements were made
for the burial of 450 bodied to-day.
The cholara statistics for yesterday,
issued by the Imperial Board of Health,
show that there were 626 new cases of
cholera in Hamburg, while the deaths num
bered 116.
Cholera Still as Bad as Ever.
These figures show a decline of only two
cases from the number reported Thursday,
while the number of deaths is exactly the
same. The board's report also shows that
six cases of disease and two deaths oc
curred in a new district of Stade, near the
mouth of the Elbe, 22 miles from Hamburg;
five cases and five deaths in Harburg on
the south branch of the Elbe, six miles
south of Hamburg, and two cases and one
death in Gross Stretitz, a town of Prussian
Silesia.
There are no fresh cases of Asiatic cholera
in this city, although 24 cases pronounced
by the physicians to be nothing more than
extreme diarrhoea have been reported.
At the Moabit Hospital, Charlottenburg,
two deaths from cholera are reported and
one new case, that of a nurse who contract
ed the disease while attending patients.
Consul General Edwards has sent to the
State Department at Washington a dispatch
that cholera was officially declared to exist
in 40 places in North Germany. The city
of Hamburg shows an increase in the num
ber of cases and a decrease in the death
rate. Consul Johnson, at Hamburg, cabled
to the department to-day that the steamer
Malabar sailed yesterday.

The Inman Line steamer City of New
TTork, for New York; the American Line
steamer Ohio, for Philadelphia; the White
Star Line steamer Britannic, for New York,
and the Cunard liner California, for Boston,
all have steerage passengers. It is said all
vessels sailing from Liverpool for American
ports would carry no steerage passengers.
This was true, so far as it went, for none of
this class of travelers sailed from Liver
pool. They boarded the steamer at Queens
town. The ship's agents say their instructions
relative to tne aisiniection ot oaggage re
ferred only to the belongings of steerage
passengers. The baggage of the passengers
on the Alaska and Aunana has "not been
disinfected. The steamer companies are
making arrangements to dispatch special
steamers to convey emigrants to the United
States. These plans are being made with
the understanding that these emigrant
steamers will be subjected to 20 days' quar
antine at American ports.
The Hamburg-American line steamer
Columbia, Captain Volgelgesang, sailed
from Southampton at 7 o'clock this evening
for New York. Owing to the cholera epi
demic, the company decided not to allow
any emigrants in the steerage, and the ouly
persons tne vessel carries besides the offi
cers and crew are 436 cabin passengers.
NO SAFETY IN SALT WATER.
Bacteriological Experiments Prove That It
Doesn't Kill Cholera Germs.
New Tork:, Sept a Dr. Paul Gibier,
of the Pasteur Institute and President of
the Bacteriological Institute of this city,
completed this afternoon an investigation
of the cholera germs, the results of which
puts a new phase upon the work of ward
ing off the disease. As a preventive of
cholera salt water bathing has been recom
mended. Dr. Gibier has been experiment
ing for some time at his laboratory to de
termine if the cholera germ; possess the
necessary vitality to live in salt water or
the ordinary sea water.
As a res'iltof these experiments, he con
clusively demonstrated that the germs can
exist iu salt water a long time for several
days at least, and possibly for a week or
two. He is, moreover, authority for the
statement that the cholera germ propagates
in salt water. He believes that while ex
isting in the water these germs naturally
drift with the tides or currents, and, coming
ashore, spread the poison upon whatever
they attach themselves to.

Buda-Pesth, Sept 3. An illustration

peasantry of parts of Hungary is given to
day in a dispatch from Neusaz, on the Dan
ube. A patient suffering with a choleraic
disorder died at Kiszach, and the authori
ties desired that a post mortem examination
be held.
The peasants assembled in force, and in
formed the physicians that under no cir
cumstances would they permit an autopsy,
lor if they allowed the physicians to cut the
body of the dead man the vengeance ot
heaven would fall upon them in the shape
of a storm that Mould destroy all their
crops. They were so numerous and so de
termined that even the gendarmes could not
interfere. The'peasants decided that the
body should be at once buried,

FOREIGN MAILS FUMIGATED.
A Strong Odor of Sniphnr From AH Letters

New York, Sep. a Special Post
master Van Cott says that he has had as
surance from Health Officer Jenkins that
all the foreign mails arriving on trans
Atlantic steamships will be thoroughly
famigated under his direction. The New
York postofiice has received the mails of
only two ocean steamers since the arrival of
the Moravia with cholera. These mails
were brought over by the Lahn and the
Teutonic, and were delivered to the post
office offic'als Wednesday. There were 376
sacks of letters and 612 sacks of newspapers.
The mails were put aboard the tender
George B. Starr, where they were fumi
gated. When the sacks were dnmped into
the general postofiice an odor of sulphur
filled the whole place.
'AIl the foreign mails received are put
up in London. They pass through what
one might term a clearing house there. All
letters which come from an infected place
are fumigated in London before they are
put up for America. The postofiice is receiv
ing many letters which have passed through
the fumigator's hands. Some of them have
tiny holds punched through them. Others
are slit in crosses. These letters smellJ
strongly of sulphur. Alter the mails have
been fumigated thoroughly in London they
are put up in sacks and put through a fumi
gating process when they arrive at quaran

sistants say that they have taken special
pains in all cases not to injure anything.
They say that they were especially careful
with the finery of women.

MAES AND THE MOON.
They
Carried on a Courtship Last Night In
tho Sky.
Mars and the moon came apparently
nearer each other about 12:30 o'clock this
morning than they have for several years,
and closer than they will be for several
years to come. Both cross a certain point
in the heavens, which is termed the
node, but they reach the node at or
near the same time but once in seven years.
Mars paises the node once in 780 days,
while the moon "gets there" once per
month. Last night the occuitation oc
curred. The two came almost
close enough to shake hands. The
sight could be witnessed by all
close observers situated within the
limiti ol 66 degrees north latitude and one
degree south latitude. The phenomenon
was of about one hour's duration. Ob
servers in different parts ot the territory
embraced between the imaginary line's
above mentioned saw the occurrence in
apparently different ways, due to the
difference in the apparent position
of the bodies. It takes the planet Mars
several months to pass throueh the limits
at the node in which it can be entirely or
partially eclipsed by the moon. Still, at
such times, they are 39,760,000 miles apart
The nearest approach of Mars to the moon
last night was 23 minutes lrom the south
limb of the latter.

An Effort Made to Have the Will or Mrj.'H.
I Tanee Broken.
A petition was filed in the Orphans'
Court yesterday for permission to appeal
from the probate of the will of the late Mrs.
H. L. Vance, of Allegheny. The petition
is filed by Kobert G. and B. L. Vance, B.
V. Spjoul, W. H. Spronl, a N. Sproul and
E. E. Sproul, the nearest relatives and
heirs-at-law ot Mrs. Vance- She died Jan
uary 16, 1892, and her will was probated
June 27. By it she leaves almost all her
estate to Miss Eetta J. Woods, who, it is
stated, is no relative whatever.
If the signature to the will is genuine,
which the petitioners doubt, they believe it
was obtained by undue influence on the
part of Miss Woods, who had great control
over Mrs. Vance. It was signed three days
before death. It is further charged that the
will is fraudulent, there having been no
will when the one in question was alleged
to have been made.

MispectM! Recollect!! SeconsicW
It doesn't require extra strong retrospective genius to recollect what
Pittsburg was a few years ago. In most cases the buildings of 50 years ago
were good enough for our best merchants, both as regards residences and
stores. The brilliant gas light was considered the very acme of perfection
for illuminating purposes. There also existed a great many other ancient
improvements that 'twas thought impossible to improve upon; but, like a
mighty giant rising from sleep, she stretched, and still continues stretching-
forth, her mighty arms, pulling down here, building up there, beautifying
to-day, enlarging and modernizing to-morrow; the dingy, low-roofed build
ings are rapidly giving way to 8, 9 and 10 story mammoth business palaces.
The once lustrous gas has. given place to the sparkling, shining, brilliant
electricity, and so on all along the line. Business methods have also kept
pace with the improvements. Well, we're right here with everything that
is calculated to contribute to the comfort, happiness and enjoyment of men,
women and children, in the line of first-class, useful and home embellishing
merchandise at very much lower prices than elsewhere.
