The following are the latest cholera bul

turned from the lower quarantine and re
ports ten new cases among the crew on the
steamships Normannia and Rugia and no
deaths.
San Fkaxcisco Tho American ship
Frand Pendleton arrived to-day from Cal

bald McDougal and William E. Whitty,
chief officer, died of what was reported on
arrival here to be cholera. The deaths oc
curred last April, and since then there has
been no sign of disease. The vessel, how
ever, was fumigated.
Washington The Secretary oi State
has received a telegram from the United
States Consul at Brussels, saying) "Brussels

TEN NEW CASES,
Bat No Deaths at New Tork Quarantine

New York, Sept 7. Special. For the
erst time since last Saturday cholera
claimed no victims in the lower bay to-day,
and all oi the patients at Swinburne Island,
of whom there are now about 24, -were hold
ing their own.
Ten new cases of the disease developed
aboard the Normannia and the Bngio, how
ever, and the new pdtients were removed to
Swinburne Island as soon as a quarantine
tug could be obtained.
The scourge is spreading rapidly among
the crew of the Normannia. Eight of to
day's new patients were members of the
Normannia's crew, and the other two were
steerage passengers on the Bugia. This is
to-day's record of new cases:
Normannia Max Gehrman, 21 years old;
Stanislaus Knans, 26 years old; Riobard
richer, 21 years old; Franz Gent, 31 years
old; Julius Folnrz, 30 years old; Wilbelm
Bennenbeg, SO years old; Carl Borandt, 21
years old.
Bugia Catherine Tesarowa, 23 years old;
Orakle Knperan, 23 years old.
The nurse on Swinburne Island, Ade
laide Merries, who was taken ill Monday,
was reported as very much better to-night.
The surgeons on board the pest ships have
been instructed to prepare a history of
every case on board since sailing from
Hamburg, and the physicians on Hoffman
and Swinburne Islands must do the same
with all cases which come under their
charge.
Cold Baths Causing Disorders.
There was no delay in removing those
of the Normannia's crew who were stricken
down. The cholera symptoms broke out a
short time after the crew had been returned
to the ship from Hofiman Island, where
they were thoroughly bathed and disin
fected. One of the health officers suggested that
the cold bath which the men had to un
dergo might be responsible for the severe
attacks of drarrheca which were noticed
almost simultaneously in the cases of
the patients.
There was a bigger array of ships than
ever in the Narrows to-day, 21 in all riding
at anchor at Bunrise. During the day the
Darmstadt, the Brilliant, the Persian Mon
arch, the Masrachusetts, and the Vene
zuela, which had been held since Tuesday,
were released, but as many more came in to
take their places and crowd the bay off
Quarantine. The big Inman liner, City of
New York, was at Quarantine at 11 o'clock
with no serioks illness among her 1,139 pas
sengers. Depew Not Allowed to Get Off.
This afternoon Dr. Depew, on the City
of New York, sent his compliments to Dr.
Jenkins, and regretted that the Health Offi
cer had not been able to board the Inman
liner in person. This message was received
by Dr. Jenkins just as he was about to leave
on his daily trip down the bay. He replied
by the following message: "Present my
compliments to Dr. Depew and my regrets
that I must detain-ium and the ship until
to-morrow at least"
Secretary of the Treasury Foster, whose
wile and daughter are on the City of New
York, went' alongside the steamship in the
Bevenue Cutter Grant and greeted his fam
ily from her side. He had a permit from
Br. Jenkins to go aboard, but he did not
use it and returned to the city. The City
of New York will probably be released to
morrow, with La Bourgogne, whose passen
gers have now been held since Sunday
within half a mile of the Staten Island
shore.
To-morrow the Hamburg boat Scandia,
which sailed August 28, is due. She car
ries passengers both in the cabin and steer
age, and is the last but one of the Hamburg
ships which sailed with immigrants aboard.
The Bohemia is the last The Wieland,
which is dac Saturday, carries no steerage
passengers.
No Extra Vessel" Can Be round.
General Passenger Agent Boos, of the
Hamburg American Steamship Company,
said to-day that he had a conference with
Dr. Jenkins about transferring the cabin
passengers of the Normannia to some other
vessel. It was found impossible to get any
vessel sufficiently large to accommodate the
passengers.
A reporter from a distance hailed Captain
Hebich, of the Normannia, at 1 o'clock this
lufV
morning,. and was informed that the passen
gers were all" very well and enjoying them
selves as much as possible under the circum
stances. In fact, there was a rousing "bop"
on board the steamer, and the sound of
merry mnsic was wafted across the bay to
the silent -watchers who patrol the waters lu
which the pest ships are anchored.
(Some fishermen who live down the bay,
and are thoroughly disgusted with the reg
ulation which prevents them from plying
their trade, -even went so far as to take a
humorous view of the situation and sailed
past the quarantine landing singing the fol
lowing lines in high glee:
"Cholera germs are in the bay,
, We expeot them upto-day,
And with Lottie wewill say:
'Ob, ta-ra ra-boom de-ay.' "

New York, Sept 7. The following let

this morning by a member of her family:

MORE SHIPS EN ROUTE.
Two Coming From Bremen One With, the
Other Withont Immigrants.
London, Sep t 7. The Medical Inspec
tor has made ah investigation into the case
of the farmer's wife who died Monday night
at "Whaley Bridge from what is said to have
been Asiatic cholera. He declares that
death was not caused by cholera. The case
of the seaman, Murphy, who, after being
discharged from the cholera hospital at
Havre, came to London, where he showed
suspicions symptoms, caused some appre
hension here. He was taken to the London
Hospital where the symptons were care
fully studied by the physicians.
The local Government Board has issued
an amendment to the regulations, requiring
shipowners, nnder a heavy penalty, to re
tain aboard ship all foreign immigrants who
are unable to inform the port medical offi
cer as to their destination and address.
This order practically stops the importation
of foreign paupers. The steamer Trave, ot
the North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany, irom Bremen, sailed from Southamp
ton for New York at 6 O'clock this evening.
She has on board 307 passengers in the
saloon, but, in accordance with the new
regulation of the company, her steerage is
empty. The steamer Hermann sailed from
Bremerhavcn for New York yesterday alt
ernoon. The Hermann has no cabin pas
sengers, but has immigrants in the steer
age. HEALTH OFFICERS HOPEFUL.
Preventive Measures Still Sncceed In Keep

WAsniNGTOir, Sept 7. Acting Secre
ary Spaulding said to-day that the measures
nstituted to keep cholera out ef this coun
try have proved eminently successful so
for, and that he saw no reason to apprehend
that the dread contagion will obtain a foot
hold in this country. The Secretary of
State received a telegram this morning from
the United States Consul at Bremen saying
that the health reports show that there is no
cholera in that eity. He also received the
iollowing from the United States Consul at
Quebec:
Immigrants from steamship Circassian
started for points in Western States via
Canadian Pacific, entering at Sault Ste.
Marie and Detroit, quarantined for 80 hours.
A copy of this telegram was sent to
the Treasury Department and was immedi
ately forwarded by telegraph to Collector of
Customs at Detroit and Sault Ste. Marie.
ONLY CHOLERAIC DISORDERS
In rrancr.but They're as Fatal as An J thine
Ever Imported From Asia.
Paeis, Sept 6. Pour cases of choleraio
disorders occurred to-day in St Ouen, a
village four miles north of this city. The
frightful suddenness with which some per
sons succumb to the disease is shown in the
case of a workman at Fermaize, in the De
partment of Marne, who died in great
agony two hours after being attacked with
illness of a choleraic nature. Thirty-one
persons died in this city yesterday of
choleraio disorders, and 329 patients suffer
ing from the malady were admitted to the
hospitals during the same time.
There were reported in Havre vesterdav
27 new cases of cholera and 7 deaths from
the malady. Since Monday the disease has 4

Berlin, Sept 7. The oholera returns
of the Imperial Board of Health, agree to
day with'the report of the Hamburg author
ities, placing the number of flew cases in
that city yesterday at 702 and the deaths at
333. Compared with the last official figures,
these returns show an increase of 28 new
cases and an increase of 69' deaths. The
board also reports 18 new cases and nine
deaths in Altona yesterday.
The newspapers of this city make grave
charges against the Hamburg-American
Steamship Company in regard to the vessels
of Its fleet reported from New York to have
arrived at that port with cases of cholera: on

the matter. The Hamburger FremdUait main

' The epidemic has increased in violence in
the Hamburg Bnburb of Barmbeck and

QUEBEC MUST BE PROTECTED.
It Will Exclude Immigrants Unless the
Dominion Uses Force Against It
Montbeal, Sept . 7. Special Con
siderable disaffection exists in Montreal,
owing to the fact that the Dominion Gov
ernment refuses to prohibit immigration
through the St Lawrence until the cholera
epidemic is over. The authorities at Otta
wa have been petitioned to grant this boon
to the Province of Quebec, but so far have
refused. Dr. La Chapelle, President of the
Provincial Board of Health, says:
"If the Federal Government does not ex
clude immigrants and disinfected vessels,
not in a week or two weeks, bnt immedi
ately, then the Provincial Board will pass
a by-law excluding all Buch vessels from
provincial ports. This will be sanctioned
immediately by the Lieutenant Governor
in Council, 'and means will be taken to en
force it strictly. Should the Federal Gov
ernment consider such a regulation as an
infringement of its prerogatives, it will
have to assert them bv main force."

UNIONTOWir, Sept 7. Special Con

on the street last night when the news
reached town that Sherift'McCormick would
be arrested. Deputy United States Mar
shal Charles Garber, of Pittsburg, was ex
pected to arrive on the morning train with
the warrant, but up to noon to-day he had
not put in an appearance. Garber came up
here about a month ago, quietly collected
information and reported to United States
District Attorney Walter Lvon, who
brought the charges against the Sheriff yes
terday of contempt of court
Sheriff McCormick was seen and said: "I
have npt yet been arrested. I will say this,
however: None of the prisoners have ever
been permitted to go to their homes."
Whe asked if the prisoners had been

prisoners were employed to do light work
in the park, but none were ever worked on

that the conference held to-day between

The only new development to-day in the
pending struggle between the Pennsylvania

W1UT LED UP TO THE FATAL iPPEAI
tSFECTAt, TELEOBiM TO THE DISFATCB.1
Chicago? Sept 7. Horse owners .re
fused to race at Garfield Park to-day and
the track shut down for the afternoon. To
morrow afternoon, after they get through
mourning for their deceased friend, Colonel
Jim Brown, they will be ready for the re
newed raids of the police. For to-day, at
least, the police triumphed. The racing
folks deolare, that, come what may, sport
will be resumed to-morrow.
Sensational results will grow out of the
warfare. On one side will be the gamblers'
millions ready to overthrow the Mayor.
The Mayor and police, once the warmest of
friends, have been estranged, and are now
in such a position that the reputation of
one or both of them for personal honor and
official integrity is jeopardized.
And all this comes of jealousy between
two sets of gamblers, one at Garfield Park,
the other at Hawthorne. The old fight be
tween Corrigan, who was then running the
former Garfield Park traok, and the down
town gamblers, who now control it, Is still
on. Corrigan started the Garfield Park
track, and through some mysterious influ
ence downtown poolrooms were closed.
Later things came the gamblers' way. Mc
Donald, Hankins, Condon, Dahl and the
trust had the best of it Corrigan heard
that money was being paid by the gamblers
to somebody close to the Mayor. Then he
filed a sensational bill, charging the Mayor
with receiving money for letting poolrooms
run.
t
McXanghry Wasn't to Be Persuaded.
The administration did not defend itself
against the accusation. Corrigan did all
he could to defeat Cregier. Some of
the gamblers worked for Cregier and others
for Harrison. Washburne wastelected and
Corrigan claimed credit for it He had no
need of protection because his trick was
outside the city. ,
Again the pool rooms were suppressed.
After that, Hankins et ah started the
present Garfield Park Club track. Mc
Claughry was haunted day and night by
emissaries of both parties, one trying to
persuade him to close Garfield track, the
other to induce him to leave it alone. He
was offered bribes but refused them. Then
he was threatened. Intimations that
crooked work In his penitentiary connection
had been found out and would be exposed
were made to him, but he declined to be
frightened.
Then systematic work was commenced on
the Mayor. He was easier than the Chief,
and it is claimed that the Garfield folks
now hold a club over his head and? that he
must obey their bidding. The war against
Garfield Park actually commenced last win
ter. The club continued its races long after
the regular season, and Chicago was for a
time a second Guttenburg. Finally the
newspapers refused to notice the track and
the meeting came to a sudden, end. This
spring a license was granted to the club for
30 days, but was extended for a week
The Conflict With the Ordinances.
The meeting opened' May 21 and closed
June 24. On June 25 the meeting of the
"Washington Park Club opened before the
Garfield and Hawthorn tracks were shut
down. The summer meeting of Garfield
Club commenced July 25. The club could
not secure a license and started in without
one. For a dar or two the' admission was
free and then the usual prices were charged.
The meeting of the Northwestern Associa
tion oi Trotting and Faoing Horse Breeders
opened August 15 and continued a week,
daring which time both race tracks were
closed.
It was after this meeting that" the trouble
really began. The club secured an injunc
tion and later the City Council passed an
ordinance obligatory on the Mayor to Issue
a license to any mile race track within the,
city on payment of ?100 per day. The
Mayor vetoed this ordinance. Then the
counsel for the Garfield Park tried to prove
that the Kenny ordinance, forbidding pool
selling within, the city limits, bad not
been printed in the newspapers and
was therefore void. The Court held that
the ordinance was invalid, and Gar
field, which was shut down for a day,
again resumed racing. No admission was
charged, bnt the receipts irom the bookies
paid lor the purses, and, as tho'public spec
ulated liberally, the officials did not worry.
bnt they had no licenses. While the pool"
cases occupied the attention ot courts,
racing was continued, and to evade the law
no admission was charged, butthePinkerton
gate keepers would not admit anyone who
did not display a badge. The ticket sellers
required patrons to fork over a dollar at the
window. Then the dollar and a ticket was
shoved back.
Then the Balds Commenced. f
The first actual raid was made last Fri
day, when the officials, track employes and
jockeys were arrested. Then on Saturday a
more decisive raid was made. This time
bookmakers, sheetwriters, cashiers, officials
and horse owners were roped in. On Mon
day Garfield was in a state of siege after the
races had been run. , The police demanded
admission at the gates, and being refused,
battered them down. The patrol wagons
rumbled, and about 15 arrests, including
several unruly spectators, were made, and
yesterday came the climax in the running
gnn fight whioh ' laid low Colonel Jim
Brown, of Texas, and two brave policemen.
This statement of the Garfield side of the
case is from its attorney, Knight
"Previous to these raids," he said, "the
police have treated us fairly. When we
differed on a point of law we submitted to
the arrest oi one man, ana the case was
tried in the higher courts. In 'the manda
mus proceedings against the Mayor to com
pel him to issue us a license, we abided by
the decision of Judge Baker. The police
then arrested one man, and we tested the
validity of the act ot '1877. Then Judge
Kettle decided In our favor, and. the next
move on the part oi the police was to arrest
another man under the Kenny ordinance
and one under the amusement act
"Judge McOonnel held that the Kinny
ordinance was invalid and discharged the
prisoner. In the other coses he decided we
could not ran races and charge an admis
sion fee without a license, and we gave free
admission. Then McClaughry came along
with his opinion, and a man named Wind
sor swears ont warrants charging us with
keeping a disorderly place. It 1b a con
spiracy, and the Chief of Police is the head
and front of it"
r
The SIuyors Saddrn Change.
It is certain that the Mayor and his Chief
of Police are not working 'harmoniously to
gether. ,lt is known that the Mayor li not
in iavor of raiding Garfield, although a lew
short eeks ao ho was its must prououuead
immmsi&t
opponent HI change of front was the
sensation of hour. The Chief's well con
structed plans were knocked side-wise. Af
ter a few days of detective work, Mc
Claughry satisfied himself, as to the reasons
that led Washburne to abandon his fight
Against gamblers. He remembered the
Mayor's solicitude as to the appointment of
Harry Wilkinson, Vice President of Gar
field Park Club, and editor of Mike Mc
Donald's organ, the Globe, as chief of Chi
cago detectives.
Wilkinson was a Democrat and not in
sympathy with a Bepublican administra
tion and knew there was something behind
it Major McClaughry is 'regarded as a
man of honor with positive morals and re
ligious views. He was warden of the peni
tentiary at Joilet once, and his honesty or
good moves have never been impeached. He
and the Mayor and others held conferences
on the Wilkinson case. The Mayor not
only Implored, but demanded that Wilkin
son be given the important position he
sought, bnt McClaughry heard of the man's
record and turned him down.
It was evident that Wilkinson and the
crowd back of him exercised some evil
power over the dudish cigarette smoking
Mayor. Degree by degree the fact devel
oped that the city's chief official was landed
in the Garfield net There were stories, v
and they have not been disputed, of visits
to the two sisters who lived on the South
side. One is charged with fringing about
the change of heart in the head of the city.
She is said to have vigorously urged the
claims of her sister's friend for chief detec
tive upon the attention of the susceptible
official.
The Sporpf at Woman's Will.
Woman's influence may, after all, be re
sponsible for the triple tragedy of Thurs
day. One night, so the story goes, Harry
Varnell, who recently discarded prison
stripes, John Condon aud other Garfield
officials happened in the Southside bouse.
Who was there and what happened is not
recorded, but ever since it is charged that
the city's .executive has been lukewarm in
his prosecntion of Garfield Park. Dread of
exposure on the one hand, and the ruina
tion of political prospects on the other, J
have haunted him day and night
The Mayor did not'eome to town to-day.
He is spending the season at Highland Park.
He was expected to take charge ot the Be
publican convention which met to-day and
direct the party machine, but he foiled to
show up. His office at the City Hall was
deserted, and he did not wield his official ax
and drop the head of his Chief, the man who
so flatly contradicted him on the stand, into
the executioner's basket He did neither
of these things. What to-morrow will bring
forth nobody knows. McClaughry, though,
is thoroughly posted as to the escapades of
of the Mayor, and asserts with positlveness
that he will not desert the ship nor resign
while under fire.
"I have no intention of resigning," he
said, "neither have I received any intima
tion from the Mayor that my resignation is
wanted. I have not seen or heard from him
to-day. We will continue to raid Garfield
Park and arrest all people who are on the
ground alike. I am sure that the police did
their duty yesterday."
Three weeks ago it was given out the
Mayor had promised to let np on Garfield,
and that he would make things so hot for
'McClaughry that he would be forced to re
sign and that then a chief favorable to the
Garfield Park people would be appointed.
But the Mayor reckoned without his host
In Sympathy With the Police.
Publio sympathy is with the Polioe De
partment not with the Mayor, "Hemp"
Washburne. In his fight against Garfield,
Majoi McClaughry hBs the indorsement and
support of the strongest and most influential
citizens. Should he be arrested, as the
gamblers threaten, bail will be offered to
the extent of millions and his defense will
be provided for by the good will of the best
men in Umcago.
"We shall have Chief McClaughry ar
rested and charged with murder," said At
torney Paul Brown, who represents Gar
field, "to-day. "I have had conversations
with different eye-witneBses to the shooting
yesterday, and, according to them, we can
easily form the charge of murder against
the Chief. Inspector Lewis will also be
arrested on the same charge. Perjury, con
spiracy and attempting bribery will be the
other charges against the Chief. We also
intend to arrest Windsor on the charge of
perjury."
Alexander Sullivan, counsel for the club,
said: "I cannot tell you what we will do.
I have no statement to make."
"Do you intend to prosecute the Chief ot

"I know nothing about it I am not res

AN INFORMER OUTWITTED.
John A, Bayburn Does the Detective Act
Among; Disorderly Houses Seventeen
Information! Made One Case Heard by
Bohe, la Which, the Detective Was Left.
John A. Bayburn, a riverman who for
several weeks had charge of the dining room
in the Homestead mill, has been running a
Law and Order Society of his own. Yester
day his first case was heard by Alderman
Bohe, and Mr. Bayburn came out at the
small end. He is now threatened with
prosecutions against himself, and there may
be some very Interesting developments be
fore the affair is closed.
.Bayburn last week made before Alder
man Bohe informations against 17 keepers
of disorderly houses charging them, under
the'act of 1855, with selling liquor on Sun
day. -Under that law the fine is $50, of
which one-half goes to the prosecutor If he
does not testify in the case. It seems that
Bayburn did not know about this "it"
Several of the women prosecuted retained
John Marron as their attorney, and they
told him that Bohe's constable, when he
served the warrants, advised them to go
quietly to the alderman and pay the fine;
that if they retained a lawyer other charges
wonld be made against them.
Eleven of the cases were set for hearing
yesterday morning. When the first case
was called Bayburn was not present, but
his chief witness, Bichard Elliott, was on
hand and testified. No lawyer appeared
for the prosecution, but Mr. Marron was
there for the defense. Elliott's testimony
was racy, and he himself was a good speci
men of the rounder. He interlarded his
statements with abundant slang and pro
fanity. He hod come from Philadelphia,
he said, to work in the Homestead mills,
where Bayburn employed him as a steward.
He lasted a little over a week there,
afterward made a trip to Cincinnati
on the steamboat Pacific, and since then
had done nothing except to make two
rounds rof the disreputable houses with
Bayburn. These tours were made on Sun
days, August 28 and September 4. He said
Eaybnrn spent all the money, buying beer
in each place. Elliott had no casn. "I'm
a broker," he said. He declared he had no
idea at the time what Bayburn was at, but
noticed that he put down the name and
number of each place. Elliott said Bay
burn was paying his board. "If he didn't,"
he said, "I'd have to carry the banner."
Just as Elliott finished Bayburn ap
peared. The Alderman asked him if he
wished to testify. Bayburn tnmed to the
constable and said: "I told you not to set
anytime for a hearing in these cases."
"Never mind that," said Attorney Marron,
"the time has been fixed and this case is on
trial." Babburn then wanted a continu
ance to get his lawyer, but the Alderman
said he did not need a lawyer. Bayburn
then testified to buying beer from the de
fendant on Sunday, Augut 28. On cross
examination he said he had lived in Pitts
burgoff and on, for 22 years. He had been
a riverman most of the time, hod been a
policeman in Cincinnati and had done de
tective work in Pittsburg. When asked
for whom he is now working, he declined to
answer.
Alderman Bohe fined the defendant 50
and costs. Bayburn was chagrined when
told that he could get none of the fine be
cause he had testified. The Alderman after
ward called Marron aside and said: "I
hear you intend to have Baybura arrested?"
"Well," answered the attorney, "we ex
pect to institute some prosecutionsr" The
Alderman scratched his head awhile, and
finally said: "I guess there has been a mis
take in this case, and this fine will be re
voked." The ten other cases were con
tinued until the morning of September 15.
Some of tbp Schools Crowded.
The reports which the Central Board of
Health has beard from a few of the schools
show them to be very crowded this year.
The Liberty school Is overcrowded in the
lower rooms and will probably require an
other teacher. The High School, Normal,
'Mt Washincton and Grant schools are all
crowded, and will likely have to convert
some of their halls into rooms.
