Dr. Jenkins just now reports 32 deaths from tbe plague on board during the voy age 29 steerage, two cabin and one in tbe crew. The Scandia has 1,086 passengers in all. Seven cases will be taken off her to Swinburne. The arrival of the Scandia caused a great deal of excitement when it was reported at first. The people of the watoh at quar antine were in a state of anxiety and constantly running np and down the steps of the hill to the doctor's house. Dr. JenkinB persisted in saying that the Scandia would not be boarded until to-day, but every one 'seemed to be dissatis fied. ' t ,j ! i.: r.M.j u: I Ay .u4u .ci , Uf.us Buy ansiver, and in the meantime rumors which whicu reached quarantine that the Scandia bad proved a pest ship drove the people banging around quarantine station wild with excitement. Every tugboat and skifi was zealously watched and a rush was made for the dock every time a tng drew alongside. Waltlnc; for News From the Scandia. It was about 9 o'clock a tug came along side and when a man came off and asked for the reporters, the excitement grew greater, Everyone thought that it brought news from the Scandia. The man only wanted a newspaper man, however, and said he knew nothing about tbe Scandia. Dr. Jenkins was seen, but had nothing to say, and retired before midnight. Other rumors began to arrive about cholera on the Scandia, and one of the rumors stated that there were GO deaths on board. An attempt was made to awaken Dr. Jenkins by a reporter at 12:40, but lights were low in all the rooms and in the doctor's private office. Fifteen minutes of violent ringing failed to bring a response, and utterly disheart ened the group of reporters who were around went down to the quarantine sta tion again. Dr. Jenkins Great'y Kxcited. A little before 1 o'clock this morning a light was seen in Dr. Jeukins' house and a stampede was made for the door. It was opened and Dr. Jenkins appeared in a state of great agitation. He gave out the 'news briefly as above, end said be got the news from Swinburne Island oyer his private wire. It was Dr. Byrou who boarded the vessel. She lies among a bunch of infected vessels about two miles below Swinburne Island in Lower Quarantine. Dr. Jenkins, who looked utterly fagged, declined to five any more details than he has given. He said he would talk fully when he made a thorough inspection of the ship. BEFORE THE SCANDIA CAME.

She car ried 1C1 cabin passengers, but none in the steerage. A yellow flag was fluttering from her masthead when she was sighted at Sandy Hook, and this started a rumor that R Q M HAMBURG there were cholera eases aboard her. Pr.

The ship's surgeon, Dr., Vahland, re ported the passengers and crew all well, and Dr. Sanborn's examination confirmed his report. The Wieland anchored in the Lower Bay, and will .remain, there until to morrow. One death was reported on Bwinburae Island. The violin: was Karl Blossoug, 88 years old, one of the crew of Normannla, who had been removed from the ship three days before. On the Normannla another member ot the crew was stricken. He was Adolph Weiss, 21 years old, and a fqw minutes after the yellow flag had been ran np a tug was on the way to remove Weiss to Swinburne Island.

The New Hampshire may not be prepared to gp down, for the remain ing passengers of the Normannia and those of the Bugia nntil Sunday morning. The Wyoming Sent Back Again. The Wyoming, which anchored at quar antine Tuesday evening, was passed Thurs day evening by one of Dr. Jenkins' depu ties, as every one was well aboard and there were no indications that cholera bad a foot hold on the shjp. The. captain decided to wait for daylight before coming up to the city. Her anchor was already np this morning when two custom officers, George Orr and Thomas Bodgers, were put aboard to take the declarations of the passongers.

Dr. Jenkins said many symptoms of cholera were present, and he told the Cap tain that the permission granted to proceed to his dock was revoked, and at 11 o'clock the Wyoming swung slowly around and steamed down to the lower quarantine an chorage, and lay to near the Normannia within the polioe lines. Dr. Jenkins Threatened With Death. There was an exciting scene in the office of the Hamburg American Company to day when L. Goldsticker, a merchant of the city, rushed in excitedly, bat in hand, and while tears trickled down his cheeks. first demanded and then besought the release of his mother and two brothers, who are detained on the Normannia. Dur ing the efforts of several clerks to quiet him, he talked about shooting Dr. Jenkins. Finally he left to carry his appeal to the Quarantine Commissioners. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held this afternoon to tender to the State and city authorities tjie co operation of the Chamber in protecting the city, and especially to emphasize the im portance oi the prompt removal of all pas sengers from tbe stricken ship. After the Chamber adjourned the commit tee held a session and prepared a letter to be sent to Dr. Jenkins, which read as fol lows: Dear Sib At a special meeting or the Chamber of Commerce held this oayreso. lutions were adopted under which a com iplttee was appofnted.

NEGLECTED PASSENGERS. ' More Plaints From the Normannla Frlson . era Dr. Jenkins and HIb Subordinate Terribly Scored Tor Inefflolenoy Need leu Hardship and Danger on Board. New York, Sept. 9. Special James 8. Bell, President of the Washburne-Crosby Flouring Mills Company, of Minneapolis, with his wife and sons, is on the steamship Normannla. His brother-in-law, O. N, Post, a member of the Produce Exchange and New York agent for the milling com pany, has received letters from him daily, in all of which he alleges that the authori ties have been negligent and incompetent. Here are two of tbe letters: we arrived at quarantine about 6 a, M. Saturday, and received the first supply of WATCHING POB STEAMERS. fresh water and disinfectants on Tuesday evening at 10 o'clock (nearly four days).' Dr. Jenkins promised to remove the sick and dead early Sunday morning. On Sunday he told ua that it would be impossible to fur lhftboat until Monday. A subscription was taken to buy a boat, buf Senator Mc. Pheraon kindly offered a steamboat or his own, and gave Dr. Jenkins an order to fit np and bring it down, regardless of expense. The Dootor accepted the order and promised the boat, but instead sept the regular quar antine steamer, plainly showing he bad tbe facilities, but did not have brains, enough to use them. Dead and Dying Kept on Board. Remember, pur dead and sick were kept on board nearly 20 hours after our arrival: that no dislnfeo tants were furnished for four days. All the quarantine doctor did was to receive the a oo tor's report and make promises. In addition, he ordered us to stop all communications with Xew Tork, threat ened severe punishment and farther deten tion If bis orders were disobeyed. Up to 10 o'clock last evening the quaran tine and the New York authorities did noth ing to help us, except to ruruish a police boat to prevent our communicating with our friends, except through the quarantine boat, wh(cli copies at irregular hours.

The attention of tbe Treasury Department was to-day called to tbe fact that a pillow roarkod "Moravia" has been picked up on the Jersey coast opposite the course taken by ocean steam- ships.

A Hamburg Ship With One Patient on Board Arrives at DuDIln England Pleased With Her Sanitary Arrange ments Inoculation and Cremation Practiced, London, Sept, 9. Official reports show that cholera, has been absolutely stamped out o,f tbe United Kingdom. The, local Government Board officers, the authorities at the chief ports and the greatest populous centers concur in the statement that there are no cases of real cholera, apd bnjy a few choleraic cases have occurred. Experts say that though' tbe disease was brought to England at a dozen different points, it has been limited tq persons arriving from in. fected places. The medical press assumes a triumphant tone at the success of the sanitary arrange ments. The lancet admits, however, that the defensive measures are in two respects defective. The system of keeping people arriving from InfecUd places under Inspeo tion for only a'few days does not sufficiently provide for immigrant aliens not knowing where they would lay their heads next The fact that Hamburg shins replenished their water from the cholera-polluted Elbe was overlooked. Still the results prove, the Lancet savs, that the English system of inspection is superior to the ordinary quar antine regulations. Given general cleanli ness and attention to sanitation, no quaran tine is. necessary to repel an inroad of cholera. The tone of the Lancet accurately repre sents the feeling pf the country. The local Government Board has sent to the Prov inces a staff of traveling inspeotors to ar range everywhere for the treatment of pa tients, Jn the event of death occurring, cremation is officially approved as the soundest method ior the disposal of the bodies. Inoculation against cholera is being practiced at the hospitals upon voluntary patients, xt is reported to Da enective, in volving only slight feverish symptoms. After undergoing the protective prooess for a few days perfect immunity from the dis ease is attained. . John O, New, the American Consul Gen-' eral, says there is no reason to suppose that the steamship companies are trying to evade the regulations laid down in President Har rison's circular. He had consular reports on each vessel sailing, and he found the' cessation of steerage traffic general, A dispatch from Dublin says: The steamer Cjty of Botterdain, from Hamburg, arrived last evening flying a yellow flag. She was boarded by the health offioer, who was in formed that one of the seamen on board had been attacked with cholera. The man was removed to a hospital and the steamer was. thoroughly fumigated.

SPECIAL TEt-rOBAU TO THX DISrATOH-l New Yoek, Sept 9. Ex-President Cleveland started back to Buzzard's Bay on the Fall Biver boat at 6 o'clock this after noon. He will endeavor to return again to New York next week, when another gath ering of Democrats will greet him at the Victoria Hotel. His two days in town ban beenthe busiest since the Chicago conven tion. As he was about to leave the hotel this afternoon he told the newspaper re porters that bis yisit had been eminently satisfactory. "I have seen," he said, "a number of po litical and personal friends, and I am con vinced that the situation of the Democratic party in New York State and elsewhere is, most satisfactory. " One of the ex-President's most distin guished callers to-day was Hngh McLaugh lin, for 40 years the leader of the Demo crats ot Kings county. Mr. McLaughlin could pot attend the dinner conference the evening before. For two hours to-day he talked over with Mr. Cleveland the politi cal situation in New York, Brooklyn and the upper counties. Senator Dill to Open the Campaign, Mr. McLaughlin informed Mr. Cleveland that the Brooklyn Democrats intended to open the ball with a great demonstration next week. Senator Hill had been in vited tq make the great speech of the oc casion, and Mr. McLaughlin was convinced that the Senator' would accept the invita tion. He expected to hear any day, now, from tbe Senator on the subject At the dinner at the Victoria Hotel yes terday evening Mr. Murphy sat on the right and Mr. Sheehan on the left of Mr. Cleveland, It was learned to-day that the preliminary step in the conference after dinner was the spreading before Mr. Cleve land of reports ot the Democratic situation in'all the countiea,-"A," number--of these reports woe not especially pleasint hearing. In effect they announced that lit tle or no satisfactory work had been done by the militant Democrats, especially in some' of the inter)orcounties. Mr. Cleve land was not pleased at this news, particu larly when tbe case was brought to his at tention. The cause, in so many words, was that some of the hardheaded old Democrats of the State had come to believe that )ie had trained altogether too much with the Mug wumps. The anti-snap convention move ment rankled. ' Cleveland's Serenity Is Disturbed. This part of the conference disturbed the serenity of Mr. Cleveland, He assured all at the board that he bad believed firmly in party organizations. He complimented some of the gentlemen present on the mag nificent working ot the local and State ma chines as at present controlled. He an nounced that neither before election nor after, in tbe event of hu election, would he undertake to destroy that which it had taken years of the mo3t arduous labor to build up. The local and State machines, it was pointed out to the satisfaction of Mr. Cleve land, were not close corporations. There was room in them for all William B. Grace, E. Ellery Anderson, Franklin D. Looke, Congressman John DeWitt Warner, Larry Godkm, ex-Secretary Charles S. Fair child, and all hands all must join the pro cession or be left out in the cold, Mr. Cleveland saw the point and practi cally announced that in the eveht ot his election the Federal patronage will be dis tributed by tbe leaders ot tbe local .nd State machines and that any recognition of tbe Mugwumps must come through these channels. A proposition was broached that Mr. Cleveland should communicate his views in a letter to' Chairman Murphy, but certain of Mr. Cleveland's personal friends thought this to be unnecessary just at the present time. Tammany O ut for the Ticket, Tammany Hall came out boldly to-night for Cleveland and Stevenson. A meeting of the general comtaittee had been called to gether to issue a call for the primaries of the districts. Ex-Judge Nelson Smith presided. Well-known local politicians filled the boxes and the hall was crowded. The Chairman made a brief address eulogis tic of the Pemooratie President and Vice Presidental candidates, and at each mention of Cleveland's name the hall shook with cheers. Senator Bourke Cockran, in one of his characteristic speeches, tben presented reso lutions indorsing the declarations of prin ciples adopted by the Democratic National Convention at Chicago, condemning "as tending to subvert our constitutional system the Bepublican policy of establishing a Federal control, oi elections throughout the country, whether that control be exercised br partisan boards, such as Republicans contemplated when in power, or bynon- partisan boards, such as the president, under stress of political conditions, de clares that he is not ready to accept" The resolutions invite comparison be tween the record of the Bepublican ad ministration now in power and the record of the Democratic one which preceded it "By the results of that compansop," tbey say, "we are willing that the merits of the two parties should be decided, believing, as wo do, that the security of the Government, the prosperity of commerce and the happi ness ot the people can best be maintained by tbe success of the Democratic party. We do cordially pledge our uniting efforts to the election oi Grover Cleveland to the Presidency and of Adlai E. StevenBon to the Vice Presidency of the United States."

The Best of News From Maine. Hon. Joseph H. Manley, Chairman of the Bepublican State Committee, gives to tbe press to-day a statement, in which be says tbe returns from every section of the State giving the detailed canvass are very complete and full of promise. Reviewing the total vote for a quarter of a century, be saysi that in 1884, when the standard-bearer of the' party "was our own distinguished citi zen and statesman, we bad an absolute ma jority. of 15,000, and in 1888, when theparty was led by that great statesman, Benjamin Harrison, our absolute majority was 13,000, but in both these years the Democratic party practically abandoned the fight in the last few days of the contest, and did not cast its full vote, "It must be remembered that this year they have tbe best organization tbey have had in Maine in years. They have, since the election ot 1890, thoroughly organized every voting precinct in tbe State. Tbey have been supplied with funds, and are using every means known to the art of political warfare to poll a large vote. They have Ignored the national contest, and appealed to petty selfish and local issues. Voting Under a New Lav. "We vote for the first time under the Australian ballot law, which applies to every city, town and plantation, and tha effect will be to reduce the total vote thrown there, thus reducing the Bepub lican majority, yet the interests at stake in this contest are so great, anil the ends the Bepublican party aims at all so beneficent, that there is no doubt as to the result "The Republicans are assured of a sub stantial victory. We shall elect'our Gov ernor, four Representatives to Congress, a large majority of both branches of the Leg islaturesecuring the re-election of a United States Senator and the county ticket in nearly every county in the State. The State has been stumped by speakers of na tional and State reputation, who have kept to tbe front tbe great questions of protec tion, reciprocity and honest money, and presented the issues of the day with zeal and ability." MINISTER PORTER RESIGNS. It Is Believed In Washington Circles That Ho TVI11 Ee-Enter Politics. Rome, Sept 9. The Jlalie announces the resignation of Albert G. Porter, the United States Minister to Italy. A dispatch from Washington saysr The announcement that Mr, Porter has resigned ,will not surprise persons in official circles here if4he report should be verified. It has been expected for some timn that Mr. Porter would resign as soon as the "inci dent" with Italy 'arising out of the lynch-i ing of the Italians in New Orleans, had passed sufficiently into the history of happily-ended international difficulties to per mit of his resignation without any sugges tion that it was due to the entanglement arising while he was United States Min ister. At the time Mr. Porter returned to Borne after a prolonged absence caused by the recall of Baron Fava, it was stated that he would before long tender his resignation to enter politics, and it is presumed that tthis announced intention has been carried out, thoneh the absence of President Har rison, Private Secretary Haltord, and Sec retary Foster delays its verification.

The commit tee of employes of the Beading Bailroad called on President McLeod to-day. Mr. Clapp announced proctically that the con ference with Mr. McLeod was not satisfactory,- and that there would be another and probably final one on Monday. A member of the committee said it is a mistake to believe that the present trouble with tbe Beading Bailroad is over the dis charge of engineers. It is over clauses in the blanks issued to applicants for employ mens in the company, which read thus: Avo you a member of a labor organization, and lf'so, what one? If a member, will you withdraw and refuse to auppoit or belong to any labor organization H you take service with this company?
