TELT.GRAM TO TJTE DrHPATCH.l New York, Oct 10. All the bis men and most of the little men of the Republi can party in New York State assembled at the grand council of war called for noon to day at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The morn ing trains brought in squads of Republican from the Mohawk Valley, the great coun ties of the North and the more thickly populated regions of the Southern tier. In honor of the event all the big chiefs of Republican National headquarters and ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt and ex-Senator "Warner Miller, were on band to receive them. A Republican county leader is a great man just now. He was a great man four years ago, when tbe State was carried for Harrison by over 14,000 plurality. But he is a creater man to-day. The leaders of tbe party and those brought directly in communication with the Presi dent lean upon him. Most of the connty leaders who came to town to-day did not dream of their importance until they were all assembled in the creat council room of the Republicans on the parlor floor. Republicans of National Reputation. As they dropped into their seats promptly at noon they saw before them Republicans whose names are almost as familiar as the President's. Lounging back in an arm chair that was twice too large for him was Hon. T. H. Carter, chairman of the Repub lican National Committee. Beside him was General James Clarkson, who, with Senator Quay and the national campaigners of four years aco, won the battle for Harrison. Near by was Senator John Sherman, the great financial statesman of the Republican party. Cloe to the Senator from Ohio was Cornelias BBIiss, Treasurer of the Nation al Committee, and next to him were Mr. Piatt and Mr. Miller. Not far off was Hon. Dave Martin, whose mission in town is to prevent the wicked Democrats from col onizing either white or colored voters. Upon the rostrum were Chairman Brook field, of the Republican State Committee, and Chairman Charles W. Hackett, of the Republican State Campaign Committee. A Conference 'With Closed Doors. The doors were closed and bolted. An derson Lawrence was stationed at the key bole,and staved there until nearly 5 o'clock. Ail this time the big chiefs and the little chiefs consulted. Mr. Rrookfield called tbe meeting to order, and on his propo sition L. H. Humphrey, of Wyoming county, was made Chairman, and John S. Kenyon Secretary. There were no representatives present from Albany, Allegany, Chautau qua, Clinton, Columbia, Essex, Fulton, Genessie, Greene, Hamilton, Kings, Queens, Suffolk and Washington counties. These counties were heard from by letters addressed to Chairman Brookfield and Chairman Hackett. After a consultation lasting five hours the assemblage dispersed. It was then made known that the chiefs had listened to speeches from Mr. Carter, Mr. Piatt, Mr. Miller, Mr. Sherman, General Clarcson and Mr. Bliss. Mr. Martin also pave his ex periences since he came to town. The Connty Leaders Warned. The speeches of tbe leaders refers entirely to their jontest in New York State. All warned the county leaders that the battle on hand was the most important in the history of the Republican party. It was pointed out that the Democrat were soundly entrenched, and, even though the State was carried for Harrison lour years ao, the greatest efforts must be made if that success was to be accomplished again. In the words of one who participated, the speeches were made for the purpose of encouraging and stimnlating the connty leaders in the present fight. The first day's registration in the cities out side of New York and Brooklyn was discussed. In certain interior cities the re sult wa gratifying to the Republicans. In others it was not. Better nork must be done on October 15, 2G aud 29 in those in terior cities. The d.ij s for town and rural registration, October 20 and 23, must also not be forgotten. rienty or Money Tor the Work. Mr. Bliss announced that there was money enough on hand to pay all the legit imate expenses. The Connty Commit teemen ore to have more than the usual liberal amount, and this money is to be used in petting the Republican voters to the polls on election day. That day promises to bring small fortunes to the country liverymen and anybody who owns a horse and waion. Mr. Martin told of his efforts to prevent colonization in New York and Brooklyn. Mr. Martin is co-operating with United States Marshal Jacobus aud John L Daven port. Deputy United States Marshals by the regiment are to be appointed, and Mar tin and Davenport have instructions to arrest all suspicious characters. The 46 Connty Chairmen out of 60 conn ties of the State present had an important document submitted for their consideration. It is an address to the members of the In dustrial Alliance and to all "citizens in sympathy with the great doctrines of pro tection, reciprocity and honest money." The document declares: An Appeal for Proper Protection. "The action of the late Democratic con- ntion at Chicago, in declaring forfree trade gainst the-protectiT system under which J this country has become the greatest among the nations of the earth, has cansed in tense and widespread dissatisfaction am one the members of that party, as veil as among a great body of Independent voters who have frequently voted with the Democ racy in national as well as in State and local contests. "This dissatisfaction has found expression in various torms and in various places. In this county it has crystallized into the Industrial Alliance, an association which, founded upon the disappointment of the industrial masses with the free trade plat form, now exists in a permanently organized lorm in every district ot the cur. A Convention to Be Held. "In order that the fullest expression may be civen to this movement, that its princi ples my be more definitely enunciated, and that its organization mar be made more comprehensive and effective, the undersigned committee of 100, repre senting the various assemblv organizations, hereby request that the members of the Alliance and all citizens in sympathy with the purposes meet at the respective district headquarters of the Alliance on Thursday, October 13, at 8 r. m. for the purpose" of choosing dele gates to the convention to be held in the main hail. Cooper Union, Friday, October 14, at 8 r. M. The basis of representation at said convention, as arranged by the Ex ecutive Committee, is three" delegates from each election district in the county. All classes of workingmen have been en rolled, and the Alliance is to work hand-in- hand with the Republican County Com mittee. Most of the county leaders and their friends remained to be present at the meet ing of the Republican State Committee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel at noon to-morrow. The committee will nominate a candidate for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals Hon. Joseph Manlev was in charge of Republican National head quarters. Programme for Governor McKinley. The itinerarv of Governor McKinlev was announced. The Governor will attend the World's Tair ceremonies, and be in Cnicaio on October 21 and 22. He will sneak in that citv and probably in Northern Illinois. He will leave Chicago the night of October 23. Hon. R. C. Keren, of the National Executive Committee, has been detailed to accompany Gov ernor McKinlev nn the following tour. Reaching Missouri on the morning of October 24, Governor McKinley will make brief speeches at certain towns alon? the line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. lie will peak at Kansay City on October 24 and at Leavenworth", Kan., the, same night. He will leave Leavenworth the next moroning for St. Louis over the Missouri Railroad, speaking briefly at stations on the route. He will Bpeak at St. Louis October 25. He will leave East St. Louis the next morning, traveling over the Wabash railroad speaking briefly at some of the stations in Illinois, and will cpeak at Danville, III., and at Terre Haute. Governor McKinley will go thence to Columbus. A DISTRICT IX DOUBT Because tlie Workinginen Threaten to Voto With, tho People's Party. Nr.w Lisnov, O., Oct. 10. .sy-wJoZ. A rather startling statement bearing on the political situation is made here to-day. This county (Columbiana) is the Republi can backbone of the Concessional district, with a nocmal majority of from 1,700 to 2,000. In Stark countv the Democrats win oftenerthan they lose, and in Mahoning county the Republican majority in the Campbell-MrKiniev Gubernatorial ejection was t.nt far from 400. It is alleged" fliat a' Repi.blicAn canvass through the Township Committees of Mahoning and Columbiana counties sl-ow an obliteration of the usual Republican majority in .Mahoning, and a reduction ot the prospective majority in this county of fully 40 per cent. As a mat ter of fact, local committeemen in the man ufactures towns admit that the labor vote will go int'ch more extensively to the Peo ple' arty than is generally supposed, 'inis is nul to be due to tlie'inflnence of the Amalgamated Association, which is strong in such toui-s as Alliance, Salem, Yniiigtown, Canton and other t smaller places Ii these figures are anv approach to the truth the Democrats have only to make small gains iii Stark county to sweep the district which has become so well known as McKinley's. On the other hand, Mr. Morgan's lieutenant here at the Columbiana county seat says that these Republican statements come from men who want to work his political ruin in the interests of candidates whom hedeleated forthe nomina tion, and' that much of the hostility to him conies from the un-Republicin elements of the Grand Army who still profess loyalty to the par.v. Certain it is that thesplit over the i.omination of Mr. Morgan has raided a doubt, for. the first time in a I'resi dental jear during the past quarter of a centurv, as to wlmt Columbiana county will do at the poils in November. S0LDIEE3 SPEAK FOB G20VEB. St. Paul Veterans Declare He Never Vetoed a Worthy Pension BUI. St. Paul, Oct 10. The St Paul Demo cratic Veterans' League organized last night 125 strong, and isue I a long address to the old soldier and sailors of Minnesota and Wisconsin, stating that Cleveland had never tetucd a general pension bill, but only a lot of private bills, which were of the most unworthy character. The address concludes: Wo do not ask cx-snldiers to tnnnnrt Glover Cleveland lor the single reason that he has always proven himself thotrue friend or the eteran or the late war, but for the added reasons that his candidacy is a declaration of war against monopolies, com binations and trusts, as also aitainst the domination of theplutocratlo class that has placed its fetters upon the masses; because it means that taxation shall he just; because It me ins that the wealth or the pcoplo xhall be ailouel to remain In control of thoso whoeirn it; because It mo. um to nil toilers rnoie work, more lucid, more happy homes, moro general pioapcrlty. JIAGEE IX ALABAMA Trying to Unite the Antl-Democratio Forces Under One Banner. Birmingham, Ala,, Oct, 10 Special C. L. Magee, the prominent Pennsylvania Republican is bere in conference with tbe leading Republicans of both factions and the Third party, endeavoring to effect a union of all anti-Democratlc forces in Alabama, in an effort to carry the State against Cleveland. Tbe Republican party is split in this State, one faction having out its own ticket, while the other is supporting the fusion ticket, made up ot Third partyites and Republicans. The two Repub lican committees meet here to-morrow, to see what can be done toward forming a union. WATCH1N3 THE BEPEATEES. Washington Negroes to Be Looked After If They Go to New Tork. Washington, Oct. 10,' Sptrfal From the talk among tbe colored politicians of the District to-day It is evident there is no doubt of the truth of the stories that were sent out from New York yesterday that an attempt was being made to colonize colored voters in the metropolis in tbe in terests of the Democrat's. It ii possible, however, that the matter had only reached the stage where the "strikers" who pro- PITTSBURG, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11. 1892-TWELVE posed (o engage, in the colonizing scheme had made ready to unbosom themselves to the Democratic ward bosses in New York. The true Republican colored people are much excited over the matter, and the ne gro who goes to New York between this and the election will be spotted from the time he leaves Washington. As for the Democrats, they say that if there is anything in the report at all, it is merely that the negroes concerned are try ing to get a pot of money out of the Deny ocrats, and that such scoundrels would not be worth buying, as they could not be trusted. Secretary Lawrence Gardner, of tbe Democratic Congressional Committee, said to-day that the whole story was a can ard; the 'Demoeratio managers would not spend 5 cents to colonize voters from out side in New Yorki even if they were so unprincipled as to desire to do so, a9 they do not need them. New York, he says, is absolutely safe for the Democracy, with thousands of votes tD spare.' CLERKS COME UP SLOWLY. Contribution! of Cash From Government Employes Few and Far Between. Washington, Oct 10. lipxla'. Com plaint is made from Republican headquar ters that the Government officials are not responding to the call of the Cam paign Committee for funds. The de partment employes in Washington are noted for their tardiness in responding to campaign appeals, aud at this time they are more than ever shy. A large majority of them have relinquished their right to vote in their native States, and as they feel safe behind the civil service law, they refuse to be taxed for campaign purposes. There was a time when nine-tenths of the department emploves were Republicans. Now there is a good number ot Democrats in office, some of whom came into the service during the Cleveland administration and hold over, while others entered the civil service gateway. In this mixture of Republicans and" Democrats there is a hesitancy abnnt committing them, selves to one party or the other. In other words, many of them are afraid to make a contribution, feating they may be, on the wrong side after election flay is over. An enthusiastic Republican worker said be fore the civil service law went Into effect that the departments at Washington were good for $40,000 to 530,000 every four years to the Republican partv, and was. indignant over the change of heart. ANXIETY ABOUT QUAY. The Senator Not in a Hurry to Visit National Headquarters. Philadelphia, OetlO. S ccial Na tional Chairman Carter is anxious to have Senator Qnay hnrry pp his visit to head quarters in New York, and expressed his anxiety in a telegram to-day, urging expe dition, as it was more than important for a meeting between tbem at an early date. Mr. Carter's telegram had hardly been disposed of before a second one came, this time from General Clarkson, backing up tbe request of Mr. Carter to make it a special point to run over at once and revise present opera tions. They have been waiting for Mr. Quay with all due patience at 516 Fifth avenue, New York, and the repeated postpone ments have created the feeling that the Senator does not propose to go near the Harrisoq hustlers this year. Senator Quay sent Mr. Carter an icicle of a reply as an answer. On Wednesday he expects to be in Harrisburg, and Thursday will find him in Pittsburg on the way home. r l FDglOH IT08.A 3ENAT0B. Michigan Fopnllsta BJufDeinocrats Go Into an Odd Combination. . Detroit, Oct. 10. The Democrats have gone into a combination with the Populists on Legislative candidates, the object being, it is said, to control, if possible, the choice of a United States Senator bv the next Legislature. They have indorsed each other's nominations in -G cases so far, and the Legislature nominations are not all made yet. ' The understanding is that where the Pop ulist candidates were first named, as they have been in most of the distiicts, they shall be at liberty to vote as their first choice for Eugene" H. Belden for United States Senator. When his candidacy lie comes helpless thev are then to support the Democratic candidate, who will probably be Governor Wjnans. Another Election Case to Settle. Harrisbueo, Oct. 10. This afternoon Judge MePherson bad another Philadelphia election case before him. This time it is William J. Reed, Democratic candidate for the Leeislnture, who objects to the nom ination certificate of Williani J. King, al leging it to be fraudulent. Several wit nesses were called to prove that certain names on the certificate were forged. Un less it is decided to call other witnesses, the case is down for argument Thursday morning. McKeesport Marchers Waking Up. McKEESrORT, Oct 10. Special Gen eral Hastings and Congressman Gibson will speak here in White's Opera House Wednes day evening under the auspices of the Har rison and Reid Club. A parade of march ing clubs, bands, and other organizations escorting the speakers, will be made over the main streets of the city prior to the meeting. There are now three Republican marching clubs here, and the Democrats are ojganizing equally well. No Fusion In Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 10. The Repub lican ticket of Georgia will not be fused with that of the People's party. This was decided at a meeting of the selected candi dates. The question was put to them whether halt their number wouldn't give way to the same number of People's party nominees. The refusal was emphatic. Thus there will be four electoral tickets in Georgia Democratic. Republican, People's party and Prohibition. Peculiar Fusion in Minnesota. St. Paul, Oct, 10. .The Democratic State Central Committee, to-day withdrew three of their candidates for electors who are connected with National banks and substituted three of the People's pa'rtv can didates, as well as indorsing a fourth Peo ple's party elector. As they say, they are "sure tnat ii eiei elected they won't vote lor Harrison.' Vindication of a Chairman. AniLESE, Kax., Oot. 10.

TELEOKAM TOTHKniSFATCn.V . Washington, Oct. 10. Before he Jeft Washington for the West,Secretary Charles Foster reviewed the work of tbe Treasury Department in the cholera emergency, and expressed his approval of all that had been done by the department to establish a quar antine and keep tbe plagne out of the United States. He outlined, also, the proba ble course ot the department for thefutore, subject to tbe action which Congress may take at its meeting next December. It is altogether likely that the Secretary, in his annual report reCongress, will make a recommendation that steps be takeu for the establishment of a national quarantine to lake the place of the State quarantine and maintained under me existing jaw. In fact, there is no doubt that the Presi dent, in his annual message to Congress, will make this recommendation, and very little doubt that some action to this end will be taken. "I do not hesitate to say that I favor a national quarantine system," said Secretary Foster. "Now we have 45 States quaran tining against each other, and even cities and towns establishing local quarantine re strictions according to their own ideas. I have leceived some very amusing letters, recently, from towns in the State ot Ohio, telliug of the quarantine regulations which had been established. Some of tbem had their own sanitary police board the trains and examine passengers before they were allowed to enter the city. Uniformity Is Sadly Needed. "Now all of these 45 States have similar laws, but each can apply the law according to its own judgment. There should be uni formity in the application of the law, aud this is particularly true of the seaport towns. At Baltimore and Philadelphia we established a quarantine ot our own below the cities, by which we were able to stop vessels before they came within the jurisdiction ot 'State authori ties. For Baltimore we established a quarantine at Cape Charles and for Phila delphia at the capes at the mouth of the Delaware river. In these cases the ves sels first fell into tbe bands ot our represen tative, then they passed to the State au thorities, and then they came within Fed eral jurisdiction again. At Boston the local authorities got hold of the incoming vessels first. "But the chief dancer, of course, was in New York harbor, and there the local and the Federal authority cane into conflict. The New York State authorities were better prepared for tbe emergency than we, and they had had more experience. Vfe felt that It was ne'cessaiy to establish our own quarantine regulations as supplemental to theirs. That is, we would not interfere with any of their regulations, but after tbey had done with vessels, we would take charge of them and impose any other restrictions that we thought necessary. This we could do through the customs officers. Friction That Conldn't Be Avoided. "When the health officers passed the ships we put a doctor aboard and gave them another examination before we allowed them to land their passengers. Of course this had the appearance of a slight on the health officers' at New York and created friction. Then there arose the question ot modifying the department circular estab lishing a 20-day quarantine. The steamship companies wanted to be allowed to land passengers who had assembled at the point of departure at the time of the issuance of the circular, September 1, with their tickets already purchased. To this I agreed on condition that the companies would discon tinue accepting immigrants. Then the American citizen came to the front. He wanted to be treated like any other Amer ican citizen, even if he came over in the steerage. I wanted to treat all American citizens alike, with due regard, however, to the precautions necessary against contagion. So where these precautions had been taken, I gave orders that American citizens should be landed, and that those who were not Americans sbonld be held for tbe period of the quarantine. I think tbat the American has some rights and privileges to which the immigrant who onlyintends to be an Ameri can citizen is not entitled." "Do you think tbat Congress, in the light of the plague scare, can do anything in the way of restricting immigration to avoid a like danger in the near future?" The Dis patch reporter asked. A General Problem Before Congress. "I do not see what else Congress ean do in this particular matter," said the Secre tary. "We have the power to re strict Immigration Ui an emergency, Of course, ' Utere is the great gen eral problem of restricting immigra tion which is before Congress. There is no question in tbe minds of anyone, I think, that we are glad to welcome the German immigrant or the Irishman or the Swede or the Norwegian all of that class of people. But there is undoubtedly a strong prejudice against the Italian and the Russian Hebrew. The question is, have we the' courage to deny the entrance of the Italian or the Russian Hebrew," "We did it in tbe case of the Chinamen," "Yes," said tbe Secretary, "but tbe China man had no vote. However, the problem, I believe, is solved for the present, so faras the Russian Hebrew is concerned. He can not enter any of the countries at Europe to cross it to get to any of the sailing ports," "How long will the restriction oq immi gration continue ?" was asked. "ft may be for a year," said the Secre tary; "certainly as' long4 as there is anv danger of contaiion. If the plague should disappear from Europe of course the re strictions would be removed. In the mean time, it will not be long before the depart ment will bo opportuned by the steamship companies to.allow them to bring ini mi grants over. 'And suppose that a company had COO Scotch immigrants awaiting pas sage at Glasgow and asked permission to bring tbem over, well, I am not prepared to say just what I would do. The Order Subject to Modification. "I have not considered the matter fully, But the department's order is subject to modification in particular cases, it it should seem wise. Of course, Liverpool as well as Glasgow is not an infected port; but Liv erpool is a port to which immigrants from all parts of Europe come for embarkation." Tasked Secretary Foster ir he was satis fied with the result of the department's work to keep the cholera out of the country. "Yes," he replied. "We started on this work without, experience and without pre- AAifonA Knfc wfn T lnnlr tianlr n what we'hare done J think that if I had to do it PAGES. UNCLE SAM'S GIFT -TO PITTSBURG. all over again I should not alter my course at all. It was the most difficult problem which I have had to meet since I took charge of the Treasury Department. It had so many phases, but when I look at the re sults I congratulate myself tbat we have escaped so safely." Speaking of the possibility of establishing a permanent national quarantipe system, Secretary Poster said it would not cost the Government much.' "We have not used up all of 'the appropriations which the last Congress made for an epidemic emergency," he said, ''although the amount was cut down considerably. The appropriation was only (100,000, but there was an unexpected balance from the last year of (90,000, which made the total sum available $190,000." Secretary Foster said that if Congress made the necessary appropriations the sta tion at Camp Low would be maintained for another year, or as long as there was danger of contagion. JAMES I, BENNETT DEAD. A Man Identified With the Irqn Industry of Pennsylvania. James I. of Giatt, Bennett, formerly of the firm Bennett & Co., and at one time burg and President of the Pitts Lake Erie Railroad, died at 12:15 o'clock this morning, of pneumonia. n had been ill since last Friday and his sudden demise will be a surprise to both the financial and social world, James I. Bennett was of the old firm of Graff, Bennett & Co., which owped what was until 1882 one of the largest iron, mills in this vicinitv, situ ated at Millvale borough. The firm failed a few years ago, the mill went into tbe hands of a receiver and is now owned by other parties. This mill was rebuilt in 1880 of the structural iron which had formerly composed the main hall of the centennial buildings. Mr. Bennett was interested in a number ot other large manufacturing concerns; among others he owned a large share in the Isabella Furnaces at Etna. He was also director in several of the prominent banks of the city and for many years regarded as one of the city's solid financial men. MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. New Rules Adopted by the Episcopalian Ilonse of Slshops. Baltimore, M. D., Oct. 10. The new canon on marriage and divorce came in for a large share of the attention of the House of Bishops of the P. E. Church to-day. Aetion was not completed, although a por tion of it was acted upon favorably.

Young, of K Company, Forty-seventh In fantry, Brooklyn," ho for 17 years had been a militiaman, having served his latest term of enlistment, has decided to withdraw from tbe National Guard, his reason beinir that as a trade unionist, he cannot do mill tary duty against his fellow-workmen, as in the case of the recent Buffalo strikes. Captain Hart, of Young's company, said the latter had told him the workingmen had asked him id withdraw from the regiment, and that he would not be surprised to hear ot an organized labor movtiuent azainst the National Guard. H2 KEVINS OET A yOSTUUE. Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr.'s, Mother Falls Heir to Quite a Fortune. Philadelphia, Oct. 10.

LOST TO CARiNEGIES. The Navy Department Transfers Con tract From the Local Firm TO TOE WORKS AT BETHLEHEM. Secretary 'J racy Tired of the relay to tha aval Cruisers. DUE TO TIIE LOCKOUT AT HOMESTEAD rSPKClAT. TFLVOBAM TO TltK DUPATOtt. 1 Washington, Oct, 10. The Navy De partment has quietly taken act.on which shows how aggravated is the delay of the Carnegie? in completing their contracts for armor plates. The department's action consists in transferring the contract for the armor plates ot the crniser New York from the Carnegies to the Bethlehem Steel AVorks. The orginal contract with the Carnegies called for 6,000 tons of steel plate, of which armor for the New York formed a part. Tne uncompleted armor for the New York, which will now be made at Bethlehem consists of 11 plates for tbe water-line belt and all the turret armor. Secretary Tracy is said to feel anything b.utpleas.aritly toward the Carnegies, and he is sorely chagrined at the delay in com pleting the New. York. This crniser is a special pet of his, and it has been one of his bobbies to have her finished and in commis sion before the end of his term of office as Secretary of the Navy, so tbat in the great naval review next spring she could fly the flag of the Senior Admiral in command of the American squadron; but owing to the protestations of the Carnegie people, who have claimed that the trouble at Home stead would not prevent them from fulfill ing their Government contracts, it is likely that Secretary Tracy's successor will put the New York in commission.

HIS EEPOET EE0EIVED the Natives With Anger and They Gather at His House, STONING IT VERY VIGOROUSLY. The Tolice Now Protect IJim Night and Day, and He WILL BE KECALUD IMMEDIATE!,! .'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH.l Montreal, Oct. 10. The people of Three Rivers, a thriving city on the St. Lawrence, between Montreal and Quebec, are wild with excitement over a report by Nicholas Smith, the United States Consul, on tbe sanitary condition of the city. Mr. Smith's report, which is dated September 17, has been published in the abstract of sanitary reports, the official organ of the marine hospital service of the United States. Mr. Smith attacks the habits of the peo ple in very strong language. In the course of his report be says: "The town is built on a sandy peninsula of slight elevation, and, as there are few sewers and no gutters, there being no paved streets, it is almost wholly dependent upon tbe insatiate thirst of the soil lor drainage. Of its 2,000 houses 1,500 at least are cottasres of not more than three rooms each, without yards, and banked up to the window sills with sand. Seven persons and a pig, which is made to feel at home, constitute the average family. For six months of the year the necessity of economizing heat is so great that a draught of fresh air is rarely admitted to their rooms. I ' Soap Called a Scarco Article. "Soap as a detergent is practically un known, and a thrifty housewife would a soon think of tearing the boards off her house for fuel as bathing her ofispring in winter. The Greeks anointed with oil a prophylactic, but as a defense against both disease and cold the French Canadian pins his faith to a crustaceous integument. In deed, I have sometimes thought tbat they, like Hindoo fakir, believed in the holiness of dirt. If emacntion and pallor can be accepted as the evidences of innutrition', a large proportion of the people go to bed hnngry every night in the year. "Now, the best thing known concerning the cholera is that its favorable subjects are those who from poverty have badly neglected their persons and live In dirty, ill-drained and badly-ventilated houses, yet notwithstanding the unhealthy conditions I have described, and the presence of the cholera at their gates, the au thorities of Three Rivers are only now be ginning to move. It has seemed next to impossible for them to realize that if tho city was to be protected from the plague it was they and not the clergy who were to bs the means ot saving it. The Board of Health Aroused. "The long habit of attributing pestilencs to divine wrath and- looking to the church for deliverance appeared to hold them in its fatal spell, but the Bishop, a really great man who practically rules the com munity, intimated to them that eternal vig ilance is the price of safety in time a3 well as in eternity; that in emergencies like the present ,action is prayer, and they have gone distrustfully to work." Tbe Three Rivers Board of Health on receiving this report at once passed a serie3 of resolutions denying thS charges in the report and protesting against its insulting style. Copies of these resolutions were sent to the United States Consul General at Montreal and to the Dominion Secretary of State. The citizens were highly incensed, and wben the news became generally known a crowd gathered at the consulate and a num ber of stones were thrown, breaking the Windows. The police were summoned and further violence was averted. It is feared, however, that the wrath of the Triluviana might carry away some overzealons persons and that something serions might occur. The city authorities are now maintaining policemen on duty at the consnlate day ana night, but the force is not large, and serious trouble is feared. The Canadian Govern ment will be asked to request the recall of the offending Consul. HACKED TO PIECES. The Terrible Fate or an Alabama Farmer and His Daughter. Mobile, Oct. 10. Hacked to pieces with an ax and then cremated was the awful fate of Richard L. Johnson and his charm ing 18-year-old daughter. A gang of des perate negroes is supposed to have commit ted the horrible crime. The tragedy occurred at Johnson's plantation near Davis Perry, Monroe connty, Friday night. There are no telegraph lines near the place and tbe news of the awful butchery did not reach here until to-day. Seven negroes have been arrested and tha people of w neighborhood are searching the country ronnd about for several moro who are thought to have taken part in tne bloody afiair. The indications are that Johnson died in defending his daughter from the assault of the brutal blacks. That there was a terrible struggle la front of the house there can be but little doubt. The sod is torn up and bloodstains cover the grass for several rods from the front en trance to the house. Just how it occurred may never be known, unless soma of the ferocious blacks confess.
