IPrECIAL TELECnAM TO THE DISrATCn.l
New BntT2.swiCK, N. J., Sept. IS.
What the physicians assert is a positive
case of cholera was discovered here this
morning by Dr. A. V. N. Baldwin, Secre
tarv of the Board of Health, who had been
called to attend James Carr, . boatman liv
ing in the lower part of this cty.
Dr. Baldwin went prepared to treat the
patient for bowel complaint or some minor
ill, and was amazed to find Carr with all the
symptoms of a well-developed case of
Asiatic cholera. Dr. Baldwin administered
what remedies he had at hand to relieve the
man's awful suffering, and immediately
eomnn.n:catcd with the police and his
lather. Dr. 1L R. Baldwin, President of the
Board of Health, -with regard to placing the
house in quarantine. Orders were at once
Issued by the board to have the house in
spected and to fumigate thoroughly all the
premises.
The patient died this evening at 1:20 in
horrible agony and will be buried to-morrow.
All the Inmates Prisoners at Homo.
The inmates of the house, which com
prised Mrs. Carr, mother of James; Hugh
Crosson, wife and one child, were ordered
not to move irom the premises under any
circumstances. John Connolly, a fireman
-who slept with the afflicted man last night,
and who was at the house when Dr. Bald
win arrived, was also detained there, al
though he protested vigorously. The phy
sicians expected that Connolly had been in
fected with the disease through contact with
Carr. The man has shown no signs yet of
it, but the doctors say he can hardly escape.
Both Carr and Connolly were about the
lower part of the city all day yesterday.
They were both apparently in good health
end vibited several saloons. Carr in his
visits partook of a great quantity of liquor
and drank with many friends. Great
apprehension is felt by the physicians be
cause of his contact with them, and the
Board of Health this afternoon detailed
special officers to seek out nil who were in
Carr's company.
He Carried a Jag Uio Ight Before.
"When the afflicted man returned home
last evening, between 11 and 12 o'clock, he
was in a beastly state of intoxication. He
raade no complaint, however, of being ill,
and went to bed with his friend Connolly,
who had been with him all day in his
carousings.
About 4 o'clock this morning, Connolly
was awakened by Carr's loud groanings.
The man lay all cramped up, while his face
was almost purple and his body cold. He
did not know what was the matter, but
aroused all the household. Mrs. Crosson,
his sister, applied what simple remedies
she had at hand, imagining that her brother
was taken with 6ome bowel trouble.
Late this morning they became aware
that Carr was in danger of death. He
vomited a black substanco and shueked
aloud that he was being torn to pieces.
His friend Connolly was dispatched for a
physician, and Dr. F. M. Donohue and Dr.
A. V. N. Baldwin were notified. Con
nolly, ilso, went to the police station, but
did not know there what was the trouble
with Carr.
Scleral or tlie Townsmen Exposed.
In his search for a physician Connolly
came into contact with several people.
Some of them, thoroughly alarmed at the
possibility of having taken germs of the
disease from him, presented themselves
to-night lor treatment.
Drs. Baldwin and Donohue pronounced
Carr's case a very severe type of Asiatic
cholera, and said that his death was a mat
ter of only a few hours. Realizing the
gravity of the situation, a call was at once
mnde for a consultation of the Health Board
and the county officers this afternoon.
At the meeting it was decided to take the
most stringent measures to stamp out the
disease. Chief of Police Harding was or
dered to guard the house on all sides, not to
allow any one to enter or leave the prem
ises except the physicians, "and if efforts
are made by any one to do so," said J.
Kearny Price, Presiding Judge of the Mid
dlesex County Courts, "let him be shot
down. We cannot take too stringent meth
ods to hold the pest where it is."

ns to Carr's whereabouts before he came to
New Brunswick Friday night was from
neighbors. They said Carr was employed
on the canal boat Harry Cahill as a boat
hard. The canaler, up to August 26, had
been lying at the foot of Thirtieth street,
East river, New York, "and after that date
was transferred to the East Sixteenth street
wharf. There the boat was believed to be
in the New York street cleaning depart
ment and used to convey garbage out to the
lower bay.
Carr left the boat Friday and went to
South Amboy, where he boards part of the
time. There he met his sister, Mrs. Hugh
Crosson, and her young ohild, and that
evening they went to New Brunswick on
the steamboat New Brunswick, which plies
between New York and this place. At that
time Carr exhibited no symptom of any
disease. The neighbors say he has been
leading an intemperate life, so that he was
very susceptible to disease.
The Whole Town Excited.
This evening Sheriff Thomas Acken called
special officers together and dispatched
them all over the city with circulars Issued
by the Health Board recommending sani
tary rules for the observance of the citizens
during the menace of cholera. The City
Hospital has been thoroughly fumigated
and fitted up for the reception of any possi
ble patients. A disinfecting wagon has
also been distributing fumigants on the
streets this afternoon.
The whole town is thoroughly alive to the
situation. The healthy sanitary condition
of the town has a reassuring effect upon the
citizens.
Dr. Edson, of New York, has been sent
for, and will make an examination of the
body before the interment for the satisfac
tion of the local physicians. By order of
Mayor vancleel the body was to-night
wrapped in antiseptic blankets and buried
in a six-foot grave.
A guard has been placed at the pest honse
because of threats to burn it. Dr. Walton,
a New York Health Board inspector, pro
nounces the case one of cholera.
PEACE AT FIRE ISLAND.
Passengers Land There and on Sandy Book
Without Opposition.
Finn Island, N. Y., Sept. 18. Not the
slightest opposition was offered by the
Islip health authorities or baymen to the
landing of the Wyoming's passengers to
day. The belief among the military and
civil officers in charge is that the hostile
demonstrations made were due to the people
not being thoronghly acquainted with what
had transpired during the early part of last
week. They did not know that the resolu
tions, of which copies were served yester
day, had been adopted on Tuesdav, "imme
diately after the landing of the Norman
nia's passengers, and that the Islip Board
of Health had withiu a few hours an
nounced that no further protest would be
made, but suits to recover a penalty would
be begun and the matter taken to the Grand
Jury.
At Camp Low, on Sandy Hook, the un
fortunates who have been detained on ships
and at Hoffman Island during the last two
weeks were landed to-day. They are steer
age passengers from the Normannia and
Eugia. According to stories told by sev
eral of the passengers they were all treated
with brutality by the German officer in
charge, except a few women, with whom, it
is said, he was on terms of great friendli
ness. Health Officer Jenkins is pleased with
Camp Low, and said that the sanitary ar
rangements were simply perfect. He stated
that he would send the cabin passengers of
the Goion line steamship Wyoming into
camp within a few days. He ilso said he
had not anticipated that the quarantine
would be maintained ior longer than a
month.
PACKED LODGING- HOUSES.
Diinlnuth e Hungarian Rookeries In Brad
dock Balded by the Police.
Braddock, Sept 18. Special The
Hungarians who are huddled together in
close quarters here will be thinned out.
Their condition is filthy beyond description.
In one house of four rooms as many as 21
persons find a habitation. Last night Chief
of Police Spangler ordered a raid on the
boarding house of Joseph Plavish, which
contained but three rooms. Seventeen per
sons were arrested and three kegs of beer
were confiscated. In addition to this crowd
the landlord had taken in a lodger and his
wife, providing them with an extra bed.
Health Officer Gibson has suggested that it
is necessary to do something in order to in
sure safety from disease irom these sources,
and Superintendent Schwab, of the Edgar
Thomson, has tendered the use of the old
Elder Hotel building at Brinton, where a
rendezvous will be provided for at least 200
of these people.
Notwithstanding the statement of Balti
more and Ohio officials that trains carrying
immigrants would be quarantined at Rankin
no matter what the authorities of that bor
ough might say, no attempt at quarantine
within the borough limits has been made as
yet. All trains are takn through to the
city from stations two miles west, where
passengers are inspected.

Bacteriologists Fail to Find Cholera Spiril
lum Even In Mary Conerty.
NEW York, Sept. 18. Special "No
case's or suspected cases of cholera have ap
peared in the oity since the last bulletin.
No deaths from cholera since Tuesday, Sep
tember 13. Number of deaths between Sep
tember 6 and 13 was five." This is the
latest bulletin issued to-night from the
Health Office. There is no good
reason to believe that the diagnosis
of the attending physician was incorrect in
the case of Peter Callahan, of 318 East
Forty-seventh street, who died September
10 (a suspected case of "cholera), and the
death Is, therefore, recorded in the Bureau
of Vital Statistics as from "diarrhoea and
exhaustion."
In the suspected case of Mary Conerty,
now at the reception hospital, Bacteriolo
gists Briggs and Dunham have reported to
the board that they have failed to find the
spirillum of Asiatio cholera.

Asburt Park,N. J., Sept 18. Special
Harry Kernell came here this week for a
three weeks' rest He had canceled an en
gagement at Shay's Theater, in Buffalo, for
two weeks at $500 a week. He has acted in
a very peculiar manner since coming here.
He went to New York yester
day afternoon on the train leav
ing here at 2:10. Before leaving he
said he was going to New York and would
steal his eldest son, Hatry Kernell, Jr.,
and would bring him back with him. A
few minutes after 9 o'clock last evening
Mr. Kernell returned here and stated that
he had Harry, Jr., with him, and that he
had stolen him from the house of his wife,
Queenie Vassar, who is playing in "A Trip
to Chinatown."
All sorts of statements were made about
his stealing the child from its mother. He
undoubtedly fears her coming here. There
Is no one in his cottage beside the cook and
his valet 'This evening Mr. Kernell was
abont town and showed unmistakable evi
dence that if he is not crazy his mental con
dition is such that those who have any in

to have him placed in restraint
PABNELLITES STILL DISSATISFIED.
They Hold a Meeting in limerick Which
McCarthjites Bcfnso to Attend.
Dublin, Sept. ia At a meeting held in
Limerick to-day, a resolution was passed,
urging the Government to release Daly and
the other Irish Americans' now im
prisoned in English jails for political
offences. The McCarihyito members of
the Honse of Commons and the Mayor
of Limerick declined to attend the meeting.
Michael Davitt wrote to the Committee of
Arrangements that he would not take part
in the proceedings, owing to Insulting
statements which had been made concern
ing him by the promoters of the meeting.
He said these utterances might be repeated
at the meeting, and in that event would,
doubtless, lead to much disorder.
Mr. Redmond, one of the speakers at the
meeting, hotly denounced the refusal of the
McCarthjites to attend. If Mr. Dillon had
the private assurance of Mr. Gladstone that
the prisoners would be released, he chal
lenged him to say so. Until then, declared
Mr. Redmond, the Independents would
continue to hold amnesty meetings, and
would accept no home rule measure as satis

the prisoners for whose lrccdoin they were

Washington, Sept ia Chairman Car
ter is expected here to-night or to-morrow
morning to confer with many of the prom
inent Republicans who are members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. His coming
was intended to be kept secret, but the fact
leaked out to-night -that apartments have
been reserved for him at the Arlington
House. Owing to the pressure upon the
railroad companies in connection with thq
Grand Army encampment the incoming
trains are running several honrs behind
time.
Chairman Carter proposes to use the
Grand Army to help the Harrison cam
paign, and General Sickles' 'declaration at
the Chicago convention that no Union
soldier will vote for Cleveland will proba
bly be worked for all it is worth among the
veterans.
General Alger, of Michigan, Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, General Morrow, of
Kansas, and many other ex-Union soldiers
who are conspicuous in national politics
are invited to attend the Carter conference.
It is said that the question of selection of
a new Commander in Chief for the G. A R.
during the coming year will also be consid
ered at the conference. The Republican
managers are not favorably inclined toward
Colonel Lincoln, Deputy Commissioner of
Pensions, who is making a fight lor the
honor. Th:y suggest that Wisconsin or
Illinois should furnish the Commander this
year, and the man selected should be of
considerable prominence in national poli
tics. It is possible that a Democrat mav
be chosen. The men who are manipulating
the wires are keeping quiet pending the
arrival of Chairman Carter.
Colonel Lincoln's following seems to be
confined to the local veterans, and the
friends of the other aspirants are doing hut
little talking on the. subject There are
now over 100,000 veterans in the city, and
on every hand there is a general expression
of regret at the prospects of the President's
being absent during tho encampment
General B. E. Butler, Senator Palmer, of
Illinois; Senator Proctor, of Vermont;
"Uncle" Jerry Rnsk and others are con
spicuous among the veterans who are to ap

ing. SHERMAN IS CONFIDENT.
He Sees Only Success in Not ember The
McKinley Bill a Sure Winner A Sound
Currency Also Good for Bepnblican
Votes Where Ho Will Speak.
Columbus, O., Sept ia Special
Senator Sherman was here during the past
week in attendance on the Ohio State lair,
a custom which he has followed for many
years, as it gives him an opportunity to
meet the people to. whom he owes his
political advancement and on these oc
casions he can see many of his rural friends
whom he otherwise wonld not meet in
many years. The Senator was the center ot
personal attraction at the fair and at his
hotel in the evening where he was tendered
a reception and citizens called irrespective
of political affiliations. He talks con
fidently on the outlook for November and
will make his first speech of the campaign
at North Fairfield, Huron county, next
week, and then go to Philadelphia and
spend some time in the campaign in New
York.
Sherman is enthusiastic over the McKin
ley law in this country, and says there never
was an enactment more popular, and it will
not only be the leading Issue, but will meet
with a hearty indorsement at the Novem
ber election. He does not think the money
question will be so prominent an issue, for
the reason that the parties do not difler so
much in their positions on the silver ques
tion, and he believes that Cleveland, in his
letter of acceptance, will repudiate the
Democratic plank in regard to State bank
circulation, as it Is a very poor character of
resumption. The Senator lays more stress
upon the McKinley law and . sound specie
and circulatian than he does on any alleged
dissentions which may prevail among the
Democracy In New York.
The Senator notes the lack of bluster and
enthusiasm in the campaign, but calls at
tention to the fact that there is less dissat
isfaction with the present administration
than is usual, which is due to the fact that
the country has been prospering and the
people have very little of which to com
plain. There is the fullest confidence in
the administration and the people will be
slow to make a change in the present pros
perous drift He never was so confident of
Republican success as this year and he is of
opinion that the more publio questions are
discussed and publio aflairs reviewed, the
more certain will be the choice of President
Harrison to succeed himself at the Novem
ber election.
McKinley is no less enthusiastio over the
ontlook than Sherman, and believe it is
going to be a clean sweep-up this time, so
lar as the State and national election is
concerned. These gentlemen, however,
only voice the sentiment ot all prominent
Republicans throughout the State and the
reports which are coming in at headquar
ters bear them out in their assertions.
Republican traveling men who go over
the State with Columbus as a center are
picking up a number of bets that Harrison
will carry New York and Indiana and be
elected.

PBCCTOE NOT ALABHED.
Ho Believes Harrison Will Win With Ease
Why There's No Noise.
"Washington, Sept ia Senator Proc
tor, of Vermont, is in Washington to attend
the encampment of the G. A R. In an in
terview he said to-dayt "The majority the
Republicans got in Vermont's local elec
tion was less than usual, but it was not due
to any lack of interest In the national elec
tion nor of any falling off of interest in the
party. There was no reason for great activ
ity and they felt easy, there being no fight,
such as there is in a doubtful State. The
majority was about as large as we expected.
The result gives no indication of increased
Democratic strength.
"As to the general outlook I am very
confident of Mr. Harrison's election. I
know moro about New York than I do
about the situation in other States outside
my own. I have had no uneasiness about
Mr. Harrison's carrying New York at any
time during the past three months. I
think that many of Mr. Hill's friends out
side the city out in the country will aot
without consulting his wishes and will vote
against Mr. Cleveland, in resentment of
what they consider the bad treatment of
Hill. In" the city, of course, they cannot
do this. Tammany will have to give a big
vote to prove loyalty.
"I think, of course, that Cleveland's un
popularity with the soldiers will hurt him
greatly and Mr. Harrison will have an im
mense soldiers' vote."
A BIG RAILROAD PROJECT.
An Airline Road to Be Built Between-New
Tork and San Francisco The Distance
to Bo Shortened 800 Miles Thorough
Work Being Dono.
Detroit, Sept 18. William Dallin, of
Chicago, Vice President and General Man
ager of the Atlantio and Pacific Construc
tion Company, while in Detroit temporarily,
gives an interesting account of an airline
railroad to be built between New York and
San Francisco, which will be a shortening
oi the distance of over 800 miles and a pro
portionate saving of time. He had the fol
lowing to say on the subject!
"Ever since October last I have been at
work perlecting plans of the company. Pre
liminary surveys have been made and char
ters secured in Illinois, Ohio and Pennsyl
vania, in add! tion to the work already done
in Indiana. We are now engaged in sur
veying the route through New Jersey. The
work of grading for the roadbed and laying
rails will commence in 1893, and the entire
road will be completed and in operation ia
the year 1900.
"The cost of the division from New York
to Chicago will be $100,000,000, and the
Chicago-San Francisco end 5600,000,000.
This includes everything. We will be very
thorough in our work in the various States,
and will secure a right of way extending 20
miles on each side of the road."

Cincinnati Furniture Makers Refuse
to
Give Up Their Organization.
Cincinnati, Sept 18. Some time ago
the furniture operatives in the city made a

nine-hour day at undiminished wages. The
manufacturers declined to accede to the de
mands, and announced that on and after Sep
tember 19 they would shut their iaotoriestif
the men did not continue working ten hours
Eer day. Now 16 of the 50 manufacturers
ave made conditions to their operatives, to
go into effect to-morrow. These conditions
are 10 hours work per day; no employe to
give moral or financial aid to locked-ont
workmen; operatives to sign contracts as
individuals, not as union men.
The workmen, at a big mass meeting this
afternoon, resolved not to consent to any of
these terms. This means a strike and lock
out to-morrow of certainly 1,500 and prob

was Bishop Marty, of Sioux Falls, 8. D.
His sermon was devoted almost entirely to
the objects of the German societies repre
sented in tho convention. He referred
briefly to the school question, holding that
the education of children, as at present
conducted, is on the wrong plan.
There was no reference to the Faribault
system nor to Cahensleyism, but it is in
timated that both these subjects may be
considered by the convention itself.

The evidence is very strong.

SOME HAKD KNOCKS FOR ME. ANDERSON
rSPECUn TELXOBA5I TO THIS DISPATCH.
New York, Sept ia Labor Commis
sioner Peck intends to make things lively
for those who have questioned the correct
ness of figures in his now famons
report, He came to New York to
day, and was seen at the Victoria
Hotel by a Dispatch reporter. He talked
freely and seemed to be perfectly content
with the ontlook in the mandamus proceed
ings which will be settled this week.
When asked as to the truth of the state
ment that he had burned or caused to be de
stroyed the Individual reports from which
his report was compiled, he saidi "The
papers have not been and will not be
destroyed, but Mr. Anderson and the other
Mugwumps or Anti-Snappers, as they
call themselves will not get them. I ob
tained most of those reports on my
personal pledge that no names shonld be
disclosed. I could not have obtained the
data otherwise, as the law does not give me
power to require faots concerning any man's
private business. The same rule holds good
in all the States where there are statistical
bureaus, and also in obtaining figtrres for
the United States census. In Massachu
setts it is by statute made a misdemeanor to
reveal snch facts.
Mr. Feck Was Himself Disappointed.
'1 wrote personal letters to thousands of
manufacturers who had refused to send the
figures asked ior in my circular, and on my
promise to keep their names secret they
entrusted me with the facts. I will not
break my plighted word, no matter what
will be the consequence. I will go to jail
first As to the correctness of my figures
themselves, they were a surprise disagree
able, if you will," but a surprise to me. I had
expected it to be all the other way, and the
first tabulation on the silk Industry was our
way, but nine-tenths of the others, both in
dividually and by trades, showed large in
crease in both production and the wages
paid.
"It was the most searching investigation
ever made in this State, and the figures
published are correot They are borne
out by those obtained by Com
missioner Wadlin, of Massachusetts,
and by Commissioner Peele, of
Indiana,-who is a stanch Democrat He,
like myself, began the Investigation in the
expectation of obtaining different results.
I worked on the line of the facts obtained
from manufacturers, while he took this
obtained from the workmen themselves, yet
our figures coincide exactly. His is an
elective office, and he is a candidate for re
election in his State on the Democratic
tioket this year.
Fully Sustained In His Course.
"I have heard from both departments, in
fact, from a majority of the 28 in the
United States, approving my course in
refusing to give names asked for by
that person, Anderson, and his fellows. I
have a strong letter on the subject from
Commander Hotchkiss, of Connecticut
"The most amusing thing to me in all
this is that the word of a State officer,
who has held the office without
complaint for ver nine years,
and who was good enough to
be appointed by that superlatively pure
patriot, Mr. Cleveland, should be doubted.
Now these impudent persons say
they want abstracts and affidavits,
and they will get them. As a matter of
fact they do not want them, but I intend
they shall have them until they are sorry
they ever made their little bluff. By
Tuesday or Wednesday of this week
I will give them certified transcripts of
20,000 individual oases of increased wages
and production, and I Intend to give them
over 89,000 before I'm through, and they
will all be sworn to. '
"If Anderson wanted the names and
facts he could get them almost as easily as
I did. I took Wilson's Business Directory
and wrote to the manufacturers whose names
were in it Let him take the names
of those in New York City, and seven
tenths of them will admit that they have
sent reports to me, and that in their cases
the facts are as stated. But these howlers
for purity do not want facts. ,
Cleveland's Fool Friends Blamed.
"The trouble is, Mr. Cleveland has a lot
of fool friends, and he has thousands, of
them who should be killed off
before his chances of election
are totally gone. Mr. Whitney
has done what he could, but it's too large a
contract for one man. These foolish per
sons are so elated at having stiffled
the voice of the true Demorcacy
of New York State, and of having defeated
the choice of the real party of the State,
that they seem to imagine that they own
the universe. They are sadly mistaken,
and they should be called off. The Nation
al Committee could do it, but does not So
much the worse for the party.
"The organs of these Mugwumps are not
abusing Senator Hill and his friends as they
did, bnt the Individuals are as bad as
ever, and we all know the papers will
break out in abuse of him just as soon as the
election is over and their end has been
served. The World is trying to read me
ont of the Democratio party. I have been
a Democrat all my lite, while that paper
has bolted time and again. It wants me
out because I have told the exact truth. It's
safe to say it will never be driven out of
any party for the same reason.
"The Sun pleases me, in some thines. I
like it, and if it would only add to
its platform of 'no negro domina
tion in the South' another clause.
'No mugwnmp domination at the North,' I
will be heart and soul with it I am think
ing of getting out a few parallel columns of
what these mugwump and bolting organs
have said of me in the past and are saying

Early as To-Morrow Her Physicians
Very Well Pleased at Her Present Bate
of Progress Toward Becovery.
Loon Lakb House, N. Y., Sept 13
Special The President and the members
of his household are more encouraged than
ever to-day over the favorable reports made
to them by Dr. Gardner in regard to the
condition of Mrs. Harrison. That gentle
man made the following statement of the
case to a reporter in the presence of Russell
Harrison and Llentenant and Mrs, Parker,
while they, with others, were enjoying a
sunbath on the beautiful lawn in front of
the Loon Lake House this afternoon.
"Mrs. Harrison is Improving very rapid
ly. Since the last operation there has been
no reproduction of fluid in the cavity of the
pleura, and, so far as this effusion is con
cerned, Mrs. Harrison may be considered
out of danger. Of course, I cannot say posi
tively that the fluid will not form again,
but I do not think it will. I see no neces
sity for another operation, and there will
be none unless there is an nnlooked-for ac
cumulation of fluid, Mrs. Harrison is now
able to sit up in bed, with her back propped
up with pillows, and she has rested quietly
in that position nearly all day. She is now
taking as much nourishment as she did be
fore the appearance of the recent complica
tion, and is gaining steadily in strength.
That's abont all I care to say about the case
at present"
While the members of the family assert
that no plans have been made for the future,
it is learned on undisputed authority that
arrangements are being made for the early
removal of Mrs. Harrison to Washington,
and that a start will be made as early
as Tuesday morning next providing
the present favorable condition continues.
Mrs. Harrison appeals every day to the
President to take her to Washington, as the
best possible way ot bringing about her
restoration to health, and her physician has
finally consented to her removal provided
her present rate of improvement continues
a few days longer.
It is the opinion of the family that the
fatigne of the long journey will be more
than balanced by the contentment and
peace of mind which the invalid will feel in
the fulfillment of the desire now engrossing
almost her entire attention. It is safe to
predict that the journey will not be at
tempted unless all concerned are fully sat
isfied it can be successfully accomplished.
The details of the proposed trip are pur
posely suppressed.
Religious services were held in the parlor
of the hotel this evening, under the leader
ship of Private Secretary Haltord.
An arrangement was effected this evening
whereby Dr. Trudeau, of the Saranac Sani
tarium, will come here to-morrow to con
sult with Dr. Gardner as to the possibility
of Mrs. Harrison's transfer to Washington.

BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
Berlin, Sept IS. CopyrigTti. Despite
daily assurances from officials that all dan
ger from cholera in Berlin Is post, the peo
ple continue to be suspicious and uneasy.
In view of the persistent falsehoods of tha
Hamburg authorities, it is difficult to per
suade Berliners that nothing is wltheld by
the health board. This apprehension has
gone far toward lightening the work of tha
sanitary inspectors. It has enabled them
during the last few days to- enter the slums
and withour opposition to fumigate bus
pected tenement honses in which, a fort
night ago, they would have been stoned and
beaten.
In many cases, however, tha popular
fears have resulted in acta of brutality
which even the Fire Islanders would ba
ashamed to attempt It is exceedingly
dangerous for anybodyto acknowledge sick
ness in the streets or even in the drug;
stores. For instance, on Thursday, a
Polish Hebrew, staggering drunk, was
seized with nausea in tha Niederwall
strasse. A crowd gathered in a twinkling,
and,howling for the police, the Hebrew' ran,
jumped into a cab and shouted to the cab
man to drive off. The crowd surrounded
the cab, dragged down tha cabman, and
while Borne held the horses others pulled
out the Hebrew and began kicking and
stoning him.
Merely a Case-of Too Much. .Hebrew Beer.,
The Pole was unconscious and bleeding"
when rescued by mounted police. He was
conveyed to the Meabit Hospital, but was
found to be suffering merely from too much,
beer. The cab was fumigated andlet go,
and on Friday fhe man was released.
The Chief oCPoltce of Dillengen,Rhenisa
Prussia, has scntpufr$h follow' uotiEEt
The public is hereby informed tnat flies
contribute to tho spreading of cholera, and
tho inhabitants of Dlllengen are hereby)
ordered to make every eSort to destroy flies
in their houses under a penalty of SO marks,
or imprisonment for each, offense. Sellers
or beer are ordered to keep-several glass fly
catchers on their counters.
The Berlin dallies continne to-attack-tha -Hamburg
authorities for incompetency and
falsehood, some of them demanding that
Hamburg should not he allowed to exist a
an autonomous State Throughout Gen
many persons from Hamburg are boycotted,
socially and commercially.
Hamburg's Way ofMaklng Even.
A few newspapers deprecate the uniea
sonableness of the denunciation andboyw
cott, and contend that the folly oi the Hoem
burg authorities has been more than coun-.,'
terbalanced by the marvelous activity, zeal,
and devotion of all classes of Hamburg citi
zens since the plague has been at its worst.
Nevertheless, the bitterness of other
cities of Germany against Hamburg is io
intense that the appeals of the relief com
mittee are no lonzer heeded. In Berlin
the burgomaster's fund for the stricken city, -is
virtually nil Beside the Emperor's: 30,
000 marks nardly a contribution has been
sent from this city to Hamburg. The Em
press, the Princess Henry and Princess Bis
marck have set examples by sending 3,000
marks each, but nobody seems willing to
imitate them.
The parsimony and prejudice of Berlin
have aroused resentment in Hamburg, and
the people there now declare through tha
newspapers that they do not wish Berlin
money, and that other cities may keep their'
meager contributions, as the city is now
prepared to care for its own. In deferenca
to earnest private remonstrances from Ham
burg, the Imperial Government has aban
doned the plan of including the Hona oities
under the provision of the new Imperial
health law.
Hamburgers Want to Bo Cautious,
Hamburgers will probably live to rue tha
day when the Imperial Government granted
their requests, for should cholera break out
after the passing of the health bill, all Ger
many, outside of Hamburg, would be closed
to the people of that port
The dealings of Baron Hindi with tha
shipping companies have excited consider
able comment here, especially In view of
the persistence with which the Hamburg '
American Company continued to carry his
emigrants after their inlectlon became an
absolute certainty. Truth about this deal
ing is difficult to ascertain, as all persons
officially involved in them are very zealous
in their efforts to hide the facts. Since tha
breaking out of the cholera Hindi's
agents, who are almost exclusively Hebrews,
have absented themselves from their posts.
The commission formed In Berlin in the in
terest of the Hirsch enterprise consists of
ten Hebrew bankers. The officers are Herr
Heinrichsen, Chalrmanj Simon. Loewen
stein, Vice Chairman; Herr Warburg,
Treasurer.
It is asserted that the contracts with tha
Hamburg-American and South American
Steamship Companies were canceled be
cause the Hirsch people knew that the Inv.
perial Gavernment was drafting a bill to
prevent the entrance of Russian Hebrews
into Germany. The contracts referring to tha
transportation to the Argentine Repuhlio
IN
BURS
were canceled because they refused to brtng
back emigrants to whom a landing was re '
fused.
Cheap Fare XoiTWholesalo Shipments,
Recently Hirsch made a contract with tha
North German Lloyd to ship a large num
ber of Russians. The terms are kepi secret,
but undeniably they are very low much,
lower, in fact, than previous terms, which,
have been 108 marks ahead on steeraga
ships, 110 on mall ships, and ISO on crack -liners.
The rate to Buenos Ayres, hown
ever, fluctuates between 180 and 200 marks
a head, with a discount of 15 to 20 per cent,
according to the size of the parties. The
six ships of the South American Companies
were laid up yesterday.
