Consul Oscar F. Williams, at Havre, re ports an epidemic of Asiatic cholera at that place, with inanv deaths, and advises an inspection of tho fast liner La Touraine, due here Saturday, Aug. 27. These facts have been communicated to the health officers of Staten Island, and every pro caution will be taken by them in the matter, especially in view of the fact that the epidemic has now reached two of the ' most important ports in Europe with which the United States has direct com munication—Hamburg and Havre. The I latest news here expresses a doubt whether the cholera has not also reached Antwerp. The great importance of this information, in view of tflb" great amount of travel be tween tho United States and Europe, wus at once appreciated by the state depart ment, and the dispatches were sent over tc tho treasury department officers for com munication to the supervising surgeon gen eral of the marine hospital service for prompt precautionary action.

CANADA WILL SUFFER PRESIDENT HARRISON REFUSES HER CANAL ULTIMATUM. And INIUOR a Proclamation Partially Sus pending Free Navigation of St. Mary's Falls Canal and lin posing a Toll of 2(1 Cents a Ton on Canadian Freight. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—8y authority of President Harrison the state department has made public tho important action taken by the president under the Canadian retaliation act of last session in partially suspending by proclamation the free navi gation of the St. Mary's Falls canal and im posing a toll of twenty cents a ton upon all freight passing through that canal from Canadian ports. The president's proclama tion, though constructively executed in Washington city, was signed at Loon Lake and forwarded here for promulgation. Accompanying the proclamation is the correspondence on the subject which passod between the state department and Mr. Herbert, of the British legation. The cor respondence shows that the president re fused to accept the Canadian offer to abol ish the rebate tolls at the end of the season and wanted them abolished at once. Tho proclamation recites tho provisions of tho act of congress passed July 20 last, en titled "An Act to Enforce Reciprocal Com mercial Relations Between the United States and Canada and for Other Pur poses," and continues as follows: The Proclamation. Whereas, The government of tho Dominion of Canada imposes a toll amounting to nbout twenty cents per ton on freight passing through the Wellaud canal, and also a further toll on all vessels of the United States and on all pas sengers in transit to a port of the United States, all of which tolls are without rebate; and Whereas, The government of tho Dominion of Canada, in accordance with an order in council of April 4, 1892, refunds eighteen cents per ton or the twenty cent toll at the Woliand canal on wheat, Indiun corn, peas, barley, rye, oats, flaxseed and buckwheat, upon condition that they are originally shipped for and carriod to Montreal or some port east of Montreal for export, and that, if transshipped at an inter mediate point, such transshipment is made within the Dominion of Canada, but allows no such nor any other rebate on said products when shipped to a port of tho United Statos, or when carried to Montreal for export, if transshipped within the United Statos; and Whereas, The government of the Dominion of Canada, by said system of rebate and other wise, discriminates against the citizens of the United States in tho use of said Woliand canal in violation of tho provisions of Article 27 of the treaty of Washington, concluded May 8, 1871; and, Whereas, Said Woliand canal is connected with the navigation of the great lakes, and 1 am satisfied that the passage through it of car goes in transit to ports of the Un ted States is madb difficult and burdensome by suid dis criminating system of rebate and otherwise, and is reciprocally unjust and unreasonable; Now, therefore, 1, Benjamin Harrison, presl dent of the United States of America, by virtue of the power to that end conferred upon me by said act of congress approved July 2(1, 1802, do hereby direct that from and after Sept. 1, 1892, until further notice, a toll of twenty cents per ton be levied, collected and paid on all frolght of whatever kind or description passing through the St. Mary's Falls canal in transit to any port of the Dominion of Canada, whether carried in vessels of tho United States or of other nations; and to that extent I do hereby suspend from and after suid date the right of free passage through said St. Mary's Falls canal of any und all cargoes or portions of cargoes in transit to Canadian ports. Canada Must Give In. Included in the aftorniath of the procla* mation is a statement that this course has been under careful advisement since before the adjournment of congress. After the act of July 26, authorizing retaliation, had gone through both houses without opposition it was stated that the members of the foreign affairs committees who had reported tho bill had done so at the personal request of the president. The information is now al lowed to leak out that tho precise shape which retailiation should take, so as to produce the most telling effect on Canadian commerce and precipitate a solution of the difficulty, was arrived at after repeated consultations with leading business men on our Canadian frontier, who were called into consultation by the state department from northern New York and other parts of the country so quietly that tho fact of their presence here on this business is only now made known after their departure and tho completion of the act. It is said in administration circles that the ground was so carefully gone over before hand that Canada is not loft a log to stand on, and must give iu to tho American de mands and immediately revoke the order in council on April 4 last authorizing tho dis criminating rebate of eighteen cents a ton on grain products shipped to Canadian ports and refused to all American merchan dise. Equality of tolls in the Wellaud ca nal was one of the distinct pledges made by Article 27 of the treaty of Washington of 1871, under which treaty Canada has profited BO largely. May Ue Ut'bukod by OlaiUloue. Another faot much commented on here is the humiliating position in which Governor General Lord Stanley and tho Canadian ministers havo placed the British legation iu Washington. Mr. Herbert, the British charge of affairs, twice asked of tho United States government an extension of time, stating that he did BO at the request of the Canadian government, and on the last occa sion—Aug. b— holding out, on the snmo au thority, a promise of satisfactory action. Yet the first news of the decision of the Canadian government to continue the ob noxious rebate until tho end of tho uaviga tlon season—that is, nntil a period when re taliation would be harmless—came to the state department, not from tho British le gation, which had been led to promise early and satisfactory information, but from the United Stntes consul in Ottawa. When Mr. Herbert journeyed post haste from Newport to Washington, and was asked by Secretary Foster whether the in formation conveyed by the United States consul general was true, he was obliged to confess that the Canadian government had left him absolutely in the dark; that he had no official communication to make, although ho did not question the truth of the consul general's dispatch. It Is surmised that Mr. Gladstone's government and the new colo nial secretary will not let this apparently gross discourtesy on tho part of the Cana dian powers to the British representatives pass without a fitting rebuke.

DA FONSECA DEAD. He Overthrew Dora Pedro'* Empire and Wit* Firnt President of llrazll. Rio JANEIRO, AUG. 24.—Marshal Deodorc da Fouseca, first president of the republic of Brazil, is dead.

He was about flf ty six years old at that time. The V life of Fouseca was if the life of a sol ' fiier, and his career It) as the head of the DA FONSECA. republic of Brazi was brief and in glorious, a fact due to the circumstance that the demands of the republic at the time were for a man of business, skilled in affairs of finance rather thuu one who knew only the arts of wnr. As a soldier ho had shown himself brave, and as a citizen he was exemplary. His honesty was not questioned by the ma jority and the nation held him in high esteem, but he had not been trained iu the exchanges, and he could not solve the prob lems which confronted him when he be came the head of the new republic. Tho troubles of the country turned large ly upon financial questions, and a few months after Fonseca was heralded as the head of the new nation, public confidence, following the course of exchunge, went to low water mark and he was asked to re sign. His health was failing, his physical as well as his political strength was shat tered, and he resigned. TO PHOTOGRAPH ALL CHINAMEN. Uncle Sam's Officials Have Evidently a Large Contract on Hand.

His statement of facts are to be support ed by the affidavits of two creditable wit nesses, and upon approval of this applica tion tho collector is authorized to issue him a certificate entitling him to continue to re side in this country.

Over 70,000 of these are in Califor nia and 0,000 in Oregon, and there the brunt of tho enforcement of the exclusion act will fall. But there are nearly 3,000 in New York, over 1,100 in Massachusetts, besides 700 in Chicago and nearly 500 in St Louis. The obligations of tho law are discretion ary with the Chinese. If they don't choose to got themselves photographed, and to make their applications within the time prescribed, the revenue officials have no power to compel them. The only penalty is deportation, which falls under the domain of tho attorney gen eral and the secretary of the treasury.
