official cholera returns from all Russia
show a gratifying decrease in the ravages
of the pestilence. The latest returns,
which are for August 29th, show a total
of 4,859 new cases and 2,529 deaths."
Compared with the latest returns these
figures show a decrease of 1,285 in new
cases reported and a decrease of 212- in
the numter of deaths. It will be ob
served, however, that the death rate con
tinues excessively high, the figures of the
last report showing a mortality of slight

Petersburg also show a decrease ic both
new cases and deaths.

A New York dispatch of Friday says:
The situation at quarantine remains un
changed. President Harrison's order,
caused a sensation among the steamship
agents in the city. The president's cir-
cular letter wi I practically stop an im
migration while the cholera epidemic
lasts. Steamship agents are disposed to
protest as it is estimated that they will
lose two million dollars a mon'h while
the twenty days, quarantine regulations
are being carried out, one million dollars
representing the loss from steerage traffic
alone, while the remainder rep.esents the
.rt.iniy out of diminished evening
cabiu passengers, and loss of freight and
incidental expenses.

The action of the president in order
ing strict quarantine meets with hearty
approval at Charleston, 8. C, and the

Everythiiirwent well until about sixty

number of seventeen, got into a wooden
yawl, nd the others took to a metallic
one. The Reserve sank in ten minutes,
and, before she had hardly gone out of
sight, the metallic yawl capsized. The
other yawl went to her assistance, but
only succeeded in rescuing two of her oc
cupants, Capta n Myers' son and Stewart.
Tne nineteen survivors started for
Whitefish, sixty miles away. The wind
was about west when they started, but
veered to the nor h. making a consider
able se i. The yawl weathered the break
ers all night, and when about ten miles
from life-saving station No. 10, and
about a mile from shore, it capsized.
Stewart says that he saw none of the oc
cup ints after that. He struck out for
shore, and was in the water two hours.
He struck the shore about ten miles
above the city station, and had to walk
there before reaching any one to render
him assistance. A search failed to find
a trace of any other survVor of the wreck.
' The Western Reserva was one of the
largest and finest or new steamers on the
lakes. She was built by the Cleveland
Sup Bunding company, and launched
October 20th. 1890. She was valued at
$220,000. She was 300 ,,feet long and
lorty-one feet beam. She was considered
a thoroughly staunch and seaworthy boat.

antine Proclamation.
A Philadelphia di-patcn says: The
sugar mmket generally was much upset
Saturday on account of the proclamation
of .'twenty das' quarantine for vessels
from cholera ports. Well informed per
sons do not believe, however, a famine i
imsminent. There will, of course, be a
long delay in the importations of rw
sugars, which come from Hamburg, but
the tff ct of the shortage will be appa
rent chi fly in the inceased 6ale of lower

A Circular Issued from the Office of Su
pervising Snrgeon GeneraL
A Washinffton divmteh Pr5
dent Harrison and party reached Wash
ington irom new York Thursday morn
ing and were at once driven to the exec
utive mansion. The president's unex
pected return to the capital at this time
was due to his desire to consult with
members of his cabinet as to what furthvr
measures if any, biumld b6 adopted by
he government to prevent the introduc
tion of cholera into this country.
TWKKTT DATS' QUARANTINE.
At the request of the president, Assist
ant Secretary Spaulding, of the treasury
department, and Dr. Wyman, surgeon
general of the marine hospital, met the
president and members of his cabinet at
conference at 11 o'clock Thursday morn-
ng. Aft r an hour's deliberation it was
decided not to issue a nroclamation at
this time, but to issue a special circular
nstead.
The circular was issued by direction of
the president, and is as follows:
''Treasury Department, Office of 8uperviing
Burgeon General United States Marine Hospital
xemce. wasmngton, u. U-, September i To
Collectors of Customs, Medical OfQc rs Marine
Hospital Service, Foreign Steanubip Compa
nies. State and Local Boards of Heiltta: It hav
ing been offlcially declared that cholera is pre
vailing in vaious pomons of Russia, Ger
many and France and at certain ports in
Great Britain, as well as 1n Asia, and
it having been mad to appear that im
migrants in large numbers are coming into
the United S-ates from the infected districts,
aforesaid, and that they and their personal
effects are liable to introduce cholera into the
United States, and that vessels conveying
them are thereby a direct menace to the pub
lic health: and it having ten furth r sh"Wn
that under the laws of the sever! 8 ates.
quarantine detentions may be imposed upon
these ve-sel a sufficient length of time to
insure agamst the spreading of contagions
disea-en, it is hereby ordered that no Vtssel
from any foreign port carrying immig ants
shall be admitted to en'er at any port of the
United States until the said vessel t-hall have
undergone a quarantine detention of twenty
days unless such detention is forbidden by
laws of the tate or regulation mide thereun
der ani of uch greiter number of days as
miy b fixed in ejch special case by the state
authorities.
"This circn'ar to tako immediate effeit ex
cept in cases of ve sel afloat at this date, which
w ll be made the subject of special considera
tion upon due application to the department."
The circulnr is signed by Walter Wy
man, supervising general of the United
States marine bospical service; C harks
Foster, secretary of the treasury, and ap
proved by the president.
WILL STOP IMMIGRATION
The practical effect of this
twenty
quarantine ci cular it
is -believed
the time being and thu$ wTl 'ORJUjfuT
about a result which the popular mind
believes to be desirable at this time. The
steamship companies, it is argued, will
not ctre to brius immigrants to this
country and support them for a long
period before tbey are allowed to land, as
ucb traffic would be very unprofitable.
The declaration of the twenty days' qunr
antine will be a notice to the foreign gov
ernments that immigration for the present
is not desirable.
GEORGE W. CURTIS DEAD.
A Prominent Writer, Orator and Re
former Passes Away.
Hon. George W. Curt s died at hia
home at Livingston, Staten island, Wed
nesday. He-was conscious at the end
and suff red no pain. Dr Frank G.
Curtis, bis son, wa- in attendance and
Mrs. and Miss Curtis were present.
George William Curtis has long hai
the name of being one of the most ele
gant writers and speakers in the United
States. He was a politician wh had
never acknowledged party allegiance
.s the professional politician un
derstands that term his creed
being that men should not only try
to keep themselves pure, but should work
to elevate and purify politic. Though
often invited to do so, he has never ac
cepted politic U office. Mr. Seward
wished n mike him consul geotril to
E:ypt; President Have off red hi in he
English legation, and afterwnrd that at
Berlin but tie refused to give up hi ed
itorial position. Once he was a candi
date for congress, but he knew that tht
district was hopelessly democratic, and
that hetood no chancn of being elected.
Ia 1884 Mr. Curtis was chairman of an
independent republican convention held
in New York to protest against the
nomination of Mr. B sine for president,
and since then be hat never been a stal
wart republican. He supported Mr.
Cleveland in 18S4 and has been a demo
crat in national politics ever since.
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
More Appointments Made on the Execu
tive Committee.
A special Washington dispatch of Fri
day Shjs: At its last meeting the general
cautionary measurts be taken, praying
him to set oi foot a m vement to secure
the co-opentioo of commercial clubs,
bo ird of trade, coopres-men and any
and all bodies with i fluence with a re
quest to the president to stop all immi
gration to tbi country from infected
countries during the period of the epi
demic. It was the opinion of some of
the members of the committee present
that the president could exercise such
power. A quarantine inspection commis
sion was appointed by the confi-rence to
inspect all quarantine statin- of the
United States, Canada and Mexico. This
commission is to report to the interna
tional board.
, Scarlet Fever Epidemic in London.
Otficial figurts issued Friday show that
the scarlet lever epidetxJc that has been
raging in London for a long time past
shows no sign of abatement. There were
cm Friday in the Metropolis an asyinm and
London fever hospitals 3 5C0 cases of the
djsease. With the scarlet fever epidemic
and cholera threatening to become so, it
will readily be seen that the health au
thorities will hive their hands full in the
fight with the two disorders.
CATTLE HEN XIURDBRED.
Sequel to a Tragedy that Oeere& Two
Tears Ago.
A dispatch from Sedan, Kansas, says:
Two yean ago last spring, Joha 8. Fraxer
and William H. Giusoo. of the panhan
dle, brought a heard of Texas steers into
this county to feed them. The native
fanners became greatly indignant, fearing
the introduction of Texas fevt rand tried
to induce the Texas men to have. The.
latter declined to go. Soon afterwards
Gibson was poisoned by the contents of a
wniakev flask given to him by a chance
acquaintance. A day or two later Fra
rer's dead body was found in a pool
near the place where his cattle were
feeding. J. T. Davis and & N. West,
farmers, appointed themselves detectives
to run down the tnurd )ers and u last
Wednet-dty Frank Kinsley and Jerry
Huston, Farmers' Alliance lenders, were
charged with the crime. Warrants are
out for (he arrest of a dozen other mem
bers of the a'liance. Dvis says the
murders were the result of a conspiracy,
headed by a joint committee from thir
teen suoalliancea. The murder of Fnaer,
he says, was particularly atrocious and
was accompanied by extreme torture.
CUBAN CIGAR MAKERS
Threaten a Wholesale Exodus from
IIaana High Taxes the Cause.
Dispatches of Friday from Havana
state that an exodus of 18.000 cigar
makers from that city is threatened.
The manufacturers are in despair because
of the increased taxation which leaves
them little or no msrgin for profits. The
Florida Land Company has been offering
such inducements for the removal of fac
tories from Culm to Tampa and Ybor
City that there is little doubt of maoy
accepting. The employes are all eager
for the change. A majority of the em
ployes are in sympathy w th the revolu
tionary movement and would be glad of
a chance to unite with the clubs, whose
headquarters are in Ybor City.
