"SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCII.l QUARANTINE, NEVT YORK, Sept 4. There were lour deaths from cholera in the Lower Bay to-day. Two little children on board the infected vessels were stricken Trith the dread disease, and they will probably die. Both these were on board the Rugia. Several vessels arrived from Europe, prin cipally freight carriers, but none of them bore the signs or the effects of the plague. Ko one can say to what extent the cholera will spread on boanf the detained vessels, and what the next vessel from a European port will bring is equally uncertain. After a hard day's work in the Lower Bay, Dr. Jenkins returned to Quarantine at 9 o'clock and reported these four deaths: Emma Horn, 8 years old, died this morning on the Normannia, after an illness of five days; Heinrich Lammers, 47 years old, one of the steerage stewards of the Normannia, died this morning after one day's illness; Abra ham Sneidecker, 8 years, taken sick on the Moravia this morning, died during the transfer to Swinburne Island shortly after noco, .frtonio Ha'1- 17 yeirs old, taken sick yesterday on board the llugia, died at 6 o'clock this morning. After the brief sum ming of the events of the day, Dr. Jenkins said: One Passenger's Terrible Misfortune. This makes a total of six deaths in tho harbor since the vessol's arrival. Tbe woman named Horn, on board the Xorman nia, has had a terrible misfortune. AH her children were stricken with the disease, and the last ono died tills morning. I went down tne bay at 11 o'clock this morning, and boarded the Normannia. While I was tliero several members of the Board of Health came alongside In a tug. 1 went down the ladder and had a long talk with thctn. I -would like to have it nnderstood, though, that they are simply looking ont for the health of tbo citizens ofXewTork City, and have no Jurisdiction over the steam ships that arrive here. Commander Martin, who was with them, said that I could have all the police assistance from New York that I wanted. I returned to the Normannla, and about noon w e began transferring the steerage pas sengers of tne Normannia to Hoffman Island and started disinfecting ttie steerage of tbe -vessel by steam. Theslckof tbe Xormannla were, transferred to Swinburne Island on the boat Cyrus Ldon. During the transfer the steerage steward, whose name Is Lammers, died. lie had been nursing the hick on board tho vessel, and had been taken during tho night Norxnnnnla Passengers a Disgusted Lot. The passengers of the Normannia, I want to say, are making the best of their situa tion and do not feel at all alarmed. They do. however, feel very much disgusted at the world. If any tug comes alongside tho Normannia or any other vessel 1 w ill see that its license Is revoked and those on board will be con fined in the hospital. The polico patrol in the Lower Bay has not yet been established. I have been too busy to-day superintending tbe transfer of passengers to bother about details. Tliero are at present five cases on Swinburne Island. Those that died yesterday and two that died this morning wore ciematod to-day. The other will be crematod later to-night. I have given the most detailed instructions to tho officers of the three vessels as to the burning or nil garbage and refuse. I do not think there Is any chance of stray germs floating ashore. They are going on with tho work or disinfecting by steam and carbolic solutions all the time. At present there aro no sick on board the Moravia or the Normannia. For want or transports we have not been able to take the sick off the llugia. I have been too busy in the Lower Bay to-day to pay any attention to the new vessels that arrived, but I under stand there Is no cholera on board any of them. SCENES AT QUARANTINE. Dr. Jenkins' Movements In the Lower Bay The Normannlu's Impatient Passengers Snpt Bjrnes Takes a Hand What a Dispatch Keporter Heard. rsrrciAt. telegbam to the DisrTcn.i New York, Sept 4. The Stubbenhuk weighed anchor at 1 o'clock this afteruoon and steamed slowly np to quarantine sta tion, leaving tbe cholera-infected ships the Normannia, the llugia and the Moravia with their positions unchanged. At 2 o'clock the steamer William Fletcher began taking steering passengers and their bag gage from the Normannia to Hoffman Island. Tne passengers will be bathed and cleansed aud their baggage will be fumi gated. The floating hospital ship Catlin, was anchored about three-quarters of a mile north-northwest of the Moravia yesterday morning. It was said that the cholera patients from the pest ships, would, if pos sible, be transferred to the Catlin to-night The hospital ship showed signs of unusual activity. Men could be seen hanging about the decks. The old Black Ball was decora-J YORK ted with the Stars and Stripes and the yel low quarantine flag. Many tugs chartered by friends of de tained passengers, dropped down to the three ships in the course of the day. Tnchts Hover at a Respectful Distance. The Vamoose appeared at 3:30 o'clock. and,after circling aronnd the ships, steamed away toward Fire Island. The steam yacht TJydia approached to within 600 feet of the Normannia at 2 o'clock, but went on up the harbor without stopping. Dr. Jenhins' boat, the Crystal "Water, reached the Normannia at 2:40 o'clock. She lay on tbe port side of the big steamei lor three-quarters of an hour, when she steamed np to Hoflman Island. On her way np she passed the State of New York, with, the Health Board aboard her. The State of New York had touched at Hoflman Island on her way to the Normannia. After drop ping down among the three ships she started for the city. Tbe cabin passengers of the Normannia were even less cheerful yesterday than they were on Saturday. They are becoming very impatient and are anxious to laud. A Dis patch reporter on a tug asked a passenger from hailing distance whether there had been any deaths on board. Tbe answer, as it could be nnderstood, was: "No; but we are all miehty tired ot staying here." Cabin People Not In Good Humor. When the steerage passengers were being transferred, tbe cabin passengers gathered on the upper deck and watched the pro ceedings with interest, occasionally sug gesting that greater haste would meet with much favor. Sergeant Ivory, in charge of the steam boat squads, said he bad received no orders to send men to quarantine or establish a patrol aronnd the pest ships in the Lower Bay. It had been the intention to do so, he said, but he thought the idea had been abandoned. On Saturday Inspector Byrnes ordered the steamboat Patrol under steam, and accompanied the order with an inquiry as to how long it would take to have her ready to move. Sergeant Ivory sent word in reply that the United States Inspectors of steam vessels had had the steamboat a boilers nnder repairs for six days, aod that she would not be ready for service before September 10. PASSENGERS IN A PANIC The Horror of Their Situation on the Nor mannla Only Dawned Upon Them Tes terday Three Other Steamships Arrive, but AH In Good Health. BT ASSOCIATED PKESS. J New York, Sept 4. The cabin passen gers ot tbe steamer Normannia have been transferred to Hoflman Island. The panic among them to-day is described by eye-witnesses as something frightful. They cried out against being confined in a pest ship, and the ladies on board of the vessel were in a state of tbe greatest terror. Their fears were relieved to a certain extent, however, by their removal to Hoflman Island. The Commissioners describe the terror prevail ing among the passengers as of a heart rending chaarcter. There were some doubts among the cabin Sassengers as to the presence of the dread isease on board of the steamer, but the deaths and new cases which occurred to-day have brought terror to the bravest hearts on board of tbe infected vessels. All now fully recognize that the grim specter of cholera is really in their midst The Malls Thoroughly Disinfected. The mails from the Normannia, which were brought up to the postoffice late last night, have been distributed, and those for inland points sent on their way. The post office officials say the mail matter was thoroughly disinlected before being brought np to tbe city, and as the bags were there it was possible to do this eflectively with out breaking tbe seals. Three large steamships with immigrants on board arrived here to-day irom Europe, but there was no evidence of cholera among the passengers. They were the North German Lloyd steamer Fulda, from Genoa, August 24, with 508 immigrants; the North German Lloyd steamship Darmstadt, from Bremen, August 24, with 380 immigrants, and the French steamship La Bourgogne, from Havre, August 27, with 840 immigrants. The health officers boarded the steamers at Quarantine, where they were detained, and after making a careful examination reported that all on board were well. The sculptor, Signor Gretano Russo, was among the passengers on board ot the steamer Fulda. Prof. Itusso was among the passengers brought to the city. The famous sculptor of the Columbus statue was loudly cheered by his enthusiastic admirers among the Monument Committee assembled on the quarantine pier. W here Money Doesn't Tulle. The cabin passengers on the Normannia begged the Health Commissioners on the tug which came alongside to take them off, and said they could get 53,000 together in a minute if it could get them ashore. u.nere cannot be any doubt of the virulent nature of the disease. Heinrich Lammers, who died to-day, was only taken ill this morning. Antonio Herla, on board the Rugia, was also only sick lor about 20 hours. The last remaining child of the Horn family, an infant of a few months old, is not ex pected to live through the night The stories of the danger at South Beach and Coney Island from refuse being thrown overboard we without foundation, as all the refuse was cremated and disinfected with bichloride or sulphuric acid. 20 DAYS AT DETROIT. The City Health Officer Is In Line With the Government Quarantine. Detroit, Sept 4. Dr. Duffield, in his capacity as Health Officer of Detroit, and backed by the authority of the United States, has decided to establish a 20-days' quarantine at Detroit The decision was made after reading a telegram from Quebec, giving the report of the International Health Commission upon the Canadian quarantine station at Grosse Isle. As soon as this order is enforced, immigration be tween Montreal, Quebec and Detroit mnst cease. The railway men have declared that they will not attempt to bring any immi grants irom Montreal after that order is made. When Secretary Foster was telegraphed to in regard to the 20 days' quarantine cir cular, Assistant Secretary Spaulding tele graphed back that while it did not apply to railways, yet it is the duty of the customs officers to detain all immigrants "until the health authorities are satisfied that their admission would not introduce cholera." It appears that the city has the right under general police powers granted it to prevent anvone passing through the city who is liable to injure the health of the city. A Quarantine Established at Cleveland. Cleveland, Sept 4. Collector of Cus toms Gary has established a cholera quar antine for all Canadian vessels. This morning the first Canadian boat subjected to inspec tion was the propeller Alma Munroe, from Montreal and Kingdston. She passed the examination readily. Ohio to Have Quarantine Stations. Columbus, Sept 4. The State Board of Health to-night- decided to eitablish quar antine stations against tbe cholera and ar range a hospital service, with physicians at Sandusky, Toledo, Cleveland and Conneaut, pu the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern; Burg HilLon the Erie Eallroadj Youngs tbwn and East Palestine, on the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago; East Liverpool, Stdubenvllle, Martin's Ferry, Bellatre, Belpre, Cincinnati and Ironton. THE DELAWARE GUARDED. A Strict Quarantine at tho Breakwater No Ships to Be Allowed to Enter at TYUI A Cholera Camp Established The First Victim. Delaware Breakwater, Sept 4. For the first time in a number of years the national flag floated from the quarantine station here to-day. It was a notification to all incoming vessels that the Federal Gov ernment bad established quarantine. The first vessel to feel the effects of the opening of the station was the American line steamer Lord Gough, from Liverpool. The Lord Gough was sighted out at sea about 10:30 o'clock this morning. Quaran tine Phvsician W. B. Orr boarded the steamer while she was still eight miles off here. The ship's surgeon reported a clean bill of health among the 22 cabin and 342 steerage passengers. Nevertheless Dr. Orr compelled the steerage passengers to pass in smcle file before bim so that he could personally BatiBfy himself as to their con dition. Findincr all in good health as re ported by the ship's surgeon the steamer's captain thought Dr. Orr would allow him to proceed np the Delaware river. He was suprised and considerably put out when Dr.. Orr directed the yellow flag to be hoisted and ordered the steamer into quar antine here. Dr. Orr says that any incoming vessel from any infected cholera port no matter whether or not she shows a clean bill of health, will be detained here until all danger ot the plague breaking out is past As another precautionary measure Dr. Orr will have all arriving vessels from cholera ports discharge their supply of drinking water here and take on water procured here in its place. Preparations to meet cholera on any in coming vessel have been made by the estab lishment of a cholera camp. The camp is a short distance from the beach and is pro tected by sand hills. It consists of a Btreet 101 feet long by 40 feet wide, with six tents on each side. Each tent will contain from six to ten persons. WIVES AND DAUGHTERS Or Cabinet Officers on Their Way From Liverpool May Be Quarantined. Washington, Sept 4. Secretary Charles Foster left the city this afternoon for New York to meet his wife and daugh ter, who are expected to arrive there soon on the steamer City of New York, from Liverpool. They are accompanied by the daughter of Secretary Rusk. Dr. John B. Hamilton, of the Marine Hospital Ser vice, who was ordered to Washington lor consultation in regard to the adoption of measures for the prevention of the intro duction of cholera into the United States, accompanied the Secretary. While Secretary Foster and Dr. Hamil ton are in New York they will look to the precautions to prevent the introduction of cholera, and will confer with the State health officials on the subject The field of duty to which Dr. Hamilton will be assigned has not, it is said, yet been finally determined upon. The officials ot the Treasury and of the Marine Hospital Bervice had a qniet day to-day in compari son with those of the past week. FAVORITISM SHOWN. Sirs. James Brown-Potter Allowed to Land at Boston Some Kicking. Boston, Sept 4. The Scythia, after being fumigated, was released from quaran tine to-day, and arrived at her dock at 0 p. sl Of the steamer's passengers Mrs. James Brown-Potter was the only one who was allowed to land, she being taken off at quarantine at 3 o'clock by a tug that went down the harbor "especially for that purpose. The other passengers were brought up from quarantine by the police boat Vigilant at 8 o'clock to-night They were put on board the Scythia, where they will be detained until to-morrow. The intermediate passengers bitterly complain of their treatment at quarantine. They claim that the fumigation was im properly done, the steam ruining their clothing. They say that when their clothes were taken from them they were given blankets to wrap about them, and that these blankets were filled with vermin. TALES WITH THE D0CIOBS. Health Officer Jenkins Warns Tassengers Not to Give Ont News. New York, Sept 4. Dr. Jenkins called all the cabin passengers of the Normannia on deck and requested them to retrain from sending news to any of the newspapers, and added tbe threat that if they sent news up he would keep them much longer in quarantine. That he can easily do this is a fact The doctor laughed when he was asked if he disinfected him Eelf before leaving the infected quarters, but there is no doubt that he takes every precaution. Seemingly, the Health Com missioners do not think there is any fear of their carrying infection or any necessity for them to get disintected after visiting the cholera ships. Dr. Byron had a long talk with the news paper men to-day. He told them of the various symptoms of cholera, but a most important statement he made was that he was in his own mind convinced that the sick people on board the Normannia, Eugia and Moravia were suffering from Cholera Asiaticus, though he had in his examina tions and experiments been unable up to the present to discover any bacilli. THAT OHIO TBAGEDY. Evidence Tending to Show That Jealousy Wns at the Bottom of It. Steubenvtlle, Sept 4. Special On no day since John Skinner committed the terrible murder and then committed suicide has the crush of buggies and people been so great as tcnlav. Skinner. it is now nnderstood, belongs to a family that have for years been out laws. The Coroner has nnderstood from neighbors that Featner was jealous of Skinner, who was partial in his attentions to Mrs. Featner, and his idea is that a big shooting match took place between Feat ner and Skinner, which was further strengthened by the fact that Featner's re volver was found under his hip. Mrs. Meiske had lain unconscious for four days, and when she suffers with pain the assistants are compelled to use force to hold her down. She has taken but little nourishment, and her death before morning is looked for. Mrs. Featner was still able to take nourishment nntil yesterday, when paralysis of her face set in, and now it is only with great difficulty that she can take liquid nourishment She cannot recover.

STEAMERS FROM ENGLAND Carrying Steerage Passengers From Infrac ted German Ports to America All Looked Into by American Consols Local Authorities Taking Precautions All Well at Eoathnrapton. London, Sept, 4. So far as known, there are no cases of cholera at Southamp ton, where the most precautions are now taken. The steamer Hansa, which brought mails and baggage from Hamburg for the steamer Columbia, sailing from Southamp ton last night for New York, was ordered to atop outside port, where her bilge water was emptied and the ship thoroughly disin fected. The North German Lloyd steamer Allerv irom .Bremen lor jxew xork, arrived at Southampton to-day. Those of her passen gers destined for Southampton were mi nutely inspected before being allowed to dis embark. The Aller then took aboard the passengers awaiting her at Southampton and proceeded. The Guion line steamer Alaska, which sailed from Queenstown to-day for New York, carried 313 saloon passengers, 161 second cabin passengers and a crew of 251 men. The Cunard line steamer Aurania also sailed hence to-day for New York. She has on board 408 saloon passengers, 1G5 cabin passengers and a crew of 251 men. All aboard both steamers were in the best of health. The American Consul visited the two vessels and issued a clean bill of health to each. The authorities at Queenstown are exer cising the greatest precautions, as is in stanced in the case of the steamer City of Rotterdam, which is expected to arrive to night at Cork from Hamburg. Tho author ities there have sent out a tug to intercept the steamer off the port and send her to Belfast, whither the bulk of her cargo is consigned. It is intended to have her pro ceed thence to Dublin, where that portion of her cargo destined for Cork can be dis charged and sent by train here. SPREADING IN RUSSIA.

Whittier is lying critically ill at the home of Miss Gove, in Hampton Falls, and his condition is such that the gravest apprehensions are entertained of his rallying. Mr. Whittier has spent the last seven weeks in this town and has very often remarked on his improved health and how very much enjoyment he has received from all the pleasant surround ings amid which he has found himself. He has been free from all labors and received but few callers, that he might derive all the benefit possible out of his stay here. On Monday there was a disturbance of the bowels but, while medical assistance was immediately called, no apprehensions were felt Yesterday (Saturday) morn ing about 6 o'clock an alarm ing change was manifest in Mr. Whittier's condition, and there has not been any improvement Dr. Douglass, bis regular medical adviser, was summoned at once. But the patient did not show any fa vorable symptoms during the day. In the evening Dr. Donglass again came in to see Mr. Whittier and remained the entire night Thu morning Dr. Howe, of Newbury port, met with Dr. Douglass, and tbey both pronounced the condition of Mr. Whittier as extremely critical, and gave but little hope of his recovery.

Special' The discipline to which Private lams, of the Pennsylvania militia, was subjected to re cently at Homestead, is said to have been imitated in this vicinity. William Booth, a lad ot 19, claims to have been the victim of the torture, and he says the scene of the punishment was at the Bridewell. Dr. Alfred Lascbe is sponsor in part for the story of the Torquemada methods of punishment About August 9 he was ar rested by a raiding party of the police which was out on the lake front arresting the hoodlums who had terrorized that sec tion of the Country and made it unsafe. Young Booth happened to be sitting in the park after working hard all day, having stopped for a rest on his way home. Next morning he was sentenced to the Bridewell lor 43 days. His story is as follows: He had been put to work inthe brickyard. One day the boss sent him r a bucket of water, and return ing to tie -WTrfcing party, heated -and thirsty nnder an August day, all the work men rushed to the pail and began quaffing the water. In an excited voice the boss ordered the guards to march the men back to the prison. Each was returned to his cell, and being ordered to thrust his arms through the bars of tbe cell door, had his wrists handcufled on the outside, with his hands and arms on a level with his shoulders. Young Booth was kept in this position for 27 hours without food or water. HABRY KEENELL'S CASE. One of His Friends bays It Is Inhuman to Let Him Appear. New York, Sept. 4. A writer sends the following to the Sun: Having read of Harry Kornell's plight, I, like fully one-hair of the audiences at Tony Pastor's theater la9t night, went to see Harry ont ot mere curiosity, for I have seen him peiform at least 100 times during tho past 12 years. I voice tho sentiment of at least one dozen spectators who sat near me when I say it is Inhuman to allow him to appear in his weak con dition. Ho is certainly a physical wrook. Tho exortion last night wns too much for him. He cannot deliver any of his old-time jokes, and cannot tell a connected story, and it Is only tho familiar strains of the music that give him his o.ucs and help him In his dancing. It was really painfnl to watch him. The house is doing a good busi ness at the oxpense of Harry Kernell's health. When I first read or this some time ago I had my doubts, but seeing is be lieving.

CAPBIVI'S NEW SCHEME. Imports on Tobacco, and the Domestic Cul tivation of It to Be Prohibited. London, Sept 5. The Berlin correspon dent of the Times says he believes that Chancellor Von Caprivi will introduce mil itary bills in Parliament early in 1893 to raise tbe 70,000,000 marks required for the army by increased taxation on beer and tobacco. The correspondent adds that the Chancellor will not venture to ask for a State monopoly of these articles, but will raise the import duties on them and will forbid the domestic cultivation of tobacco. If such action is taken br the Govern ment, it will provoke serious opposition on the part ot the small farmers in the southern part of Germany. A NAPIHA LAUNCH EXPLODES.

BT CABLE TO TOT DISPATCH. 1 Berlin, Sept 4. Sedan Day, the anni versary of the surrender of Napoleon III., was celebrated throughout the Empire, ex cepting Hamburg and Altona, with unob trusive, but fervid patriotism. In the two cities which are under the shadow of the plague the observance of the day was lim ited to church services at which prayers were offered that the people might be spared further suffering from thS cholera. Each city was like a great deadhouse while the services were in progress. There was no display of flagB, no muslo and no patriotic gatherings. In most other cities the streets were decorated, and at night meetings were addressed by oratorical patriots. The meetings were smailer and less demonstrative than usual, but the speeches showed no abatement of loyalty to the Crown. All the principal dailies of the empire contained Sedan letters, which ex horted the people to stand fast in their de termination to retain every jot and tittle of the rights won by them 22 years ago. A Boast for the City Government. The sensation of the last week has been the revelation of the criminal inefficiency of the Hamburg city government in its treatment ot the plague. Reports from the city nine to ten days ago conveyed the in formation that the municipal author ities were acting with intelligence and en ergy, and numerous details of administra tion were cited in corroboration. These re ports were inspired by the city officials. When the Imperial Health Office in Ber lin took charge of the cholera statistics and established communication with its own agents in the stricken city the culpability of the Hamburg government was revealed. Prof. Koch has' told the Emperor that cholera appeared and was recognized in Hamburg two weeks before any warning was given, and thus the city was kept in condition to infect the world. The effect of this policy in Germany, Prof. Koch said, would be that hardly a oity or village in Germany wduld escape a more or less seri ous outbreak of tbe disease. Tils Emperor In a Bago. In official circles the Emperor is said to have been so enraged by the reports of official incapacity in Hamburg that he sent to the Senate a stinging rescript, which, when published, will cause a sbaking-up of the dry municipal bones of the old free port By implication the rescript threatens the ancient privileges of the city and shows the intention of the central government to incorporate the free town and State of Hamburg in the Imperial municipal system as a means of protection against the stuDidity of local officialdom. This is not the first time that Hamburg has shown'its complete incapacity for self government The municipal police, for in stance, aro a standing monument to the folly of Its administrators. They have been for years the most incompetent force in Germany. They have traced hardly a quarter of the burglaries or murderous as saults to their sources, and it has long been a common report among the criminals of the empire that in Hamburg they might prac tice with impunity. Police Laughed at br Thieves. The police are the laughing stock of the organized eanrs who infest Hamburcr. even 'more generally than they infest other great seaports, and the respectable people ot the city have been obliged to turn to private watchmen for protection. The average Hamburg policeman is represented here in. iierlin as a ouiiy ana macKmauer. since the outbreak of the epidemic the Hamburg police have shown the utmost cowardice, refusing often to handle cholera patients, and leaving the worst infected districts almost entirely at the mercy of sneak thieves and highwaymen. In the snburbs, crimes are committed daily and nightly with impunity, as the employes of the police department will not investigate cases where there is danger ot infection. Airthese facts have been set forth in the report to the Emperor from Hamburg dur ing tba'last week, and have been forced more Strongly perhaps on his personal at tentionvby the incidental rumor that a case of chrlera, traceable to infection at Ham burg, had been discovered in the official reSideiiee of Prince Henry in Kiel This minor was circulated more thoroughly yes terday ? but as yet has not been verified, al though it is known that in the city of Kiel several cases of cholera have been dis covered. PoTIcillv a Jllxed Evil. The appearance of the epidemic in Berlin is rfgarded by the social Democrats and Radicals as ouly a mixed evil Irom their point of view. The cholera fright has done inufch good in directing general attention to thefpestilential wretchedness of the work inamen's tenements in the eastern and noTthem districts. The sanitary conditions in these districts are appalling alleys flow in with stuff that should be in the sewers ann cesspools, where they pollute the air toi thousands, aud buildings with hardly a single sanitary Improvement during the las generation. The Social Democrats laugh at the boast thatlBerlin is one of the clean cities of the worlil, and say that only the streets fre quenied'by court officials are in proper con dition. In other parts of the city, they say, the filth exceeds anything ot the kind in London or New York. Alter allowing for socialistic exaggeration, there can be little doubt that the increased strictness of sanitary Inspection in the last week has re vealed, a state of affairs quite beyond the knowledge of prosperous Berliners. The precautions of the health officials affect thp evils in the worst districts.

Street Blots Too Common to Notice. Street riots in the lower neighborhoods are so common that the newspapers hardly notice them. Daily health officials are stoned in the streets, ejected from houses or beaten off for trying to enter apartments which tenants have locked against ihem. This deplorable obstinacy, which has be-come-a'st ""- menace to the whole city, is large! 3jSfT a the Socinl Demo crats. 1 T6fn,r O r0-;nt sitnations as espec. '" bjt.

One daily quotes the words of the lite Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, that a man is the most precious kind of capital, and adds: "The Prussian Government evi dently does sot share this opinion, as it allows a process of social putrefaction to proceed steadily beneath the surface." Elllitary maneuvers In Danger. The prospect of the autumn army maneu vers is not regarded with favor by the people at large. The gathering of troops from towns where cholera has appeared and their exposure to the fatigue of sham battles and the Impurities of local water supplies are believed to be full of peril as long as the country is threatened with a cholera epidemic. The course of Emperor Franz Josef, in countermanding orders for maneu vers, would be followed, it was hoped, by the German Emperor. Numerous repre sentations to this effect are said to have been made to Emperor William, but as his tour in the annexed provinces has been one of his pet plans of the year he was unwill ing to give it up. His arrangements, how ever, are understood to be held subject to change in case the plague- should develop rapidly during the next two or three days. The heat is abating. The thermometer to-day registers but 60 decrees. This change inspires some expectation that the epidemic is near its end. Bulletins as to the progress of the disease here and in Hamburg are presented to the Emperor twice daily. Prayers to Be Ottered TJp. The sanitary police posts are kept open in the night as well as in the day. The Empress has subscribed 80 toward the cost of their maintenance. Arrangements have been made for members of the fire brigade to assist in ambulance work. A site ha3 been chosen for a cholera barracks and 1,000 beds have been ordered. Prof. Rosenbach, of Breslan, recommends a subcutaneous injection of opium in the cases of cholera patients to whom it is im possible to administer medicine owing to vomiting. All the health resorts in the Black Forest have decided to exclude per sons coming from the infected districts. The city authorities of Hamburg have pro hibited tbe hawking of fruit, and are pre paring a cholera barracks. The Bishop of Breslan has ordered that a certain day be set apart for supplication to the Almighty for a cessation of the cholera epidemic. CONSUL BURKE EXPLAINS. The Fact That Cholera Existed In Hamburg Was K-pt From Him Other Consuls Misled Clean Bills of Health Kefased Wnen He Ascertained tbe Facts. TBY CABLE TO TOE niSPATCH. Hamburg, Sept 4. Copyright Act ing Consul Charles H. Burke is not to blame for giving the Moravia a clean bill of health when she sailed from Hamburg on August 17. He explained the matter as follows to The Dispatch reporter to-day: Tba Moravia received her bill of health on tne afternoon of August IS, and sailed on the morning of tho 17th. According to the rules of the State Department I granted tbe bills upon her agents presenting the regular certificate, which is mado out in French, German and English, and is issned by tho Senate of Hamburg, asserting that in Ham burg, its port, and among its shipping, good health vrevaile and no contagions disease whatever existed In form of an epidemic This certificate is Invariably authenticated by consuls simply as a notarial guarantee for the seal and signature of tho Secretary of tho Senate. Late in the afternoon of August 22 1 heard the vaguest rumor that a caso of Asiatic cholera had beon discovered in Hamburg, and 1 at once went to Senator Vacnmann, who is chief of police, and asked him if the rnmor was true. He replied that it was not Tbe next noon he was not at tho restaurant where wo usually lunched together, and X was Informed that he was In conference with the Hoard of Health. I went there and waited until he came out, when he informed me that Medical Inspector Kraus had Just informed the boad that there was Asiatic cholera in the port I at once cabled to tho State Department in Washington: "Cholera officially re ported in Hamburg." I then went to the consulate and found bills of healtn for three steamships, one of them the Amain, of the Union line, bonnd for New York awaiting lay signature. I destroyed them and gave orders that no farther bills should be Issued. There were four more applications that atternoon, all of which Irolused. On August 23 tho Senate of Hamburg, two days after the offlcial announcement of cholera, granted the usual certificate I havo referred to, saying that in Hamburg, its port and shipping good health prevailed and that no contagious diseases whatever existed in the form of an epidemic, to the Normannia. This was presentod to me for authentication which, of course. I refused. My onlv means of Knowing whether or not there is disease In the port is through this certificate from the Senato, to which body tho medical officer of the port makes his re ports. Several other foreign consuls have told me that tbey issned clear bills of health up to August 22. Tho Fortugueso consnl told me that ho gave tho first dirty bill on tbe afternoon of the 23d, and tho Mexican consul gavo his last clean bill to the Galicia, of the Hamburg line, on the 22d. "It is offi cially declared that the first case of Asiatic cholera occurred on August 18. tho day alter the Moravia sailed." There are 00 or 200 Russians confined now in the Hamburg Packet Company's barracks on the other sldo of the Elbe, whose destina tion is tho United States. A COMPANY EHBAEHASSED, The North German Lloyd Badly Hit by tho 20-Doy Qaamntln-. IBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCn. Berlin, Sept. 4. President Harrison's proclamation as regards the cholera'quaran tine has aggravated the embarrassment of the North German Lloyd. The company recently petitioned the Government to be allowed to abandon the nnre munerative services, which that company were bound to continue in consideration of the subsidy of 4,400,000 marks annually. It is nnderstood that the request refers primarily to the Mediter ranean and Samoan lines, in which the net loss in five years has been 3,400,000 marks. To this sum should be added 1 the annual writing off on account of depreciation of the value of steamships, which brings the total for ibe five years up to approximately 9,300,000 marks. Nobody qnestions, hower, the soundness of the company's management It has been suggested that an official in quliy be made into the conduct of the cor poration before the petition In question is acceded to FULL OF SPORTS!

The Crescent City never contained as many sporting men of high and low degree as are within its gates to-night, and the number will be largely augmented to-morrow, when special trains are due to arrive from all points. Already every room in the prominent hotels has one more occupant, and the resi dents of New Orleans are reaping a harvest, as there is an abundance of moneyed men coming to the city with something to wager on their respective favorites in the three., battles. As soon as Sullivan reached his quarters at 45 Rampart street this morning he took a bath, shaved himself and put on some clean clothes, after which breakfast was served. The champion ate very heartily, and at Casey's suggestion he took a half hour's walk in the garden in the rear of the house. Then he was stripped, rubbed down and put to bed, where be slept as peaceful ly as a child for three hours. Dinner was eaten at 2 o'clock, and at 4 the big fellow, accompanied by Casey, Mor gan and the Jap, went across the way to the Young Men's Gymnasium bnilding, one of the Dest appointed club3 in the South. The Champion's Sunday Exercise. The champion skipped the rope several hundred times, punched the bag and passed tbe ball Among the onlookers was President Noel, of the Olympic Club. The big fellow banged out with all the force in those ponderous arms and mighty shoulders, and the leather sphere almost burst with the impost The blows were terrific and when the champion finished Mr. Noel, who was carried away by what he had seen, stepped np to Sullivan saying: "IhC fijat-fls-over" and I will enclose that 525,000 check for yon at once. I don't think a living man could stand such punishment as that" This greatly gratified Sullivan, and ha said in a hoarse aside to Johnsont "Wasn't that a funny crack for him to make?" When the big fellow reached New Or leans this morning he weighed 219J pounds, and when he quit work thi3 evening he was weighed in the presence of a dozen per sons, among them The Dispatch corre spondent He weighed exactly 214 pounds. A Change In Solly's Headquarters. When Sullivan arrived at his quarters in the American the quick eye of Johnson saw almost instantly that it was no place for Sullivan, aad during the afternoon the Brooklyn boniface and Jim- Wakeley went to tbe St Charles Hotel and engaged a par lor and bed room for tbe big fellow. He had supper in his apartments in the hotel, and none but a very few favored friends were admitted to see him. While at the Young Men's Gymnasium a number of the members scrutinized Sulli van closely, aud those who saw him when he met Kilrain at Richburg in 1889 say that he is in better condition than npon that occasion. His girth is Bmaller and his face looks healthier. There is naturally a great deal of discussion as to whether Uorbell s youtn win siaau ou ouin van's great rushes and terrific) blows. Sullivan's supporters think the fight will be a short one, and the followers of Corbett say it will be a long one, as Cor bett will not stay and mix it np with the champion during the early rounds, but will rather try to tire the big fellow and then defeat him at his leisure, all of which is beautiful in theory, but extremely difficult-' in practice Looking for a Long, Weary Fight Bat Masterson, of Denver, one of the gamest ot the Western sporting contingent, i. nt the St. Charles Hotel. He is a Cor bett man, just as he was an ardent admirer of Jake Kilrain. "Sullivan is growing older and Corbett is hardly in his prime, but vou must admit he is a great young one. I've bet J250 on Jim, ana J. want to see him j win. If it's a draw I get my money, but " between von and me I think it will be a; lnnr. wearv fiaht If bullivan thinks Cor bett will stand and let him rush he will be'r greatly misiaKen, uuuause x uappuu i,u jluuvt that he won't" "How about Myer and McAuliffe, to morrow night?" "Well, I'm going over to see it, but nixey bet; that will last all night" Strange to say there is no great amount of enthusiasm over the fight to-morrow night between Jack McAulifle and Billy Myer, and still less on the Dixon-Skelly contest on Tuesday evening. Sullivan over shadows everything, and the streets buzx with the sound of his name. Eastern men will learn with regret that reports from Bay St Louis as to Jack Mc Aullfie's condition aro non too reassuring. Out at the Bay hundreds of men can be found ready to swear that the popular light weight champion has had all he wanted to drink, and that his training has been de sultory, g Jack's Friends Are All Confident. Jack's admirers here say: "Ob, jack don't need to be more than half fit t & But Myer's admirers and they lSe the whole West and Northwest, with him to a man say to-motrnw night wii;' tell a different tale. Jackrvlll come to town late to-morrow, and remain in seclusion nntUlt Is time to enter the ring. Myer spent the day qnietly at Carrollton, none but hla intimate Iriend3 being permitted to see him. Skelly is regarded as a picnic for Dixon, and there are grave fears thht this flght will not be brought to a conclusion without trouble. Tne sentiment jln the South is strongly against the negro, and a prominent man said to-day to The Dispatch reporter: "Vein can say that this will be the last flahe in this city Detween a white and colored mnn as 1 think the local nanera will tell the Olympio Club In the plainest . terms ne.&i euiiwusy morning, ino negroes are hard enough to keep In tbelrJ places now, and they wlU not bo rendered? jvtb Ml".
