Loxnox, Sept. 24.—The Berlin correspondent of the News says: “Affairs in Hamburg are im- proving a little, but the total number of funerals of cholera victims which took place on ‘Tuesday and Wednesday were 600 as against 200 on Saturday. ‘The funeral traftic is so great that it is proposed to build a temporary Failway to the Ohldsdorf cemetery #0 as to fa- cilitate the transportation of bodies and to shorten the time occupied by the ordinary methods, ‘The extent of the panic caused by the epi- demic in Hamburg is thown by a letter which the burgomaster of a town in cast Prussia re- cently sent to a citizen of Ham- burg, who, it had been learned, in- tended to ‘visit the town in question. In his communication the burgomaster earnestly prayed the Hamburger on bebalf of the excited citizens of the town which he represented to either postpone or abandon altogether his intention to make the proposed visit. A further case in point where commercial traveler was expelled from Velten because a Hamburg label was found on his boxes. Despite the man’s protests that it was an old label and that he could prove that he had not been in Hamburg since the outbreak of the plague, the authorities refused to allow him to remain in the place, and he was com- pelled to leave the town immediately.” The Hamburger Borsenhalle says it notes with eatisfaction that the German people dis- play shame at tho inhuman treatment ac- corded Hamburg in certain quarters, It ap- als touchingly to the people to continue ir good will toward the stricken city, and thus enable Hamburg to resume her regular trade and commerce. Otherwise, the per declares, the citizens will starve.’ The Porsonhalle aids. that ‘those merchants are wrong who think they can free themselves from their obligations by a ransom in the form of a gift of money. a CHOLERA HELD AT BAY.

CONGRESSMAN CABL HOPES. | He Expects the Democrats to Cay iinots and to Make Other Gains in the West, 4a Dispatch: to The Even / New York, Sept. 24—Western headquarters of the democratic organization have been heard from at first hands, Congressman Cable of Illinois, who is practically the head of the Chi cago headquarters, is here. He reports things | moving beautifully ont in his bailiwick, and | predicts great things as a result. é “The outlook in Hlinois,” said he, talking for Tux Stak on the subject, “is very en- couraging.” “Do you have any expectation, Mr. Cable, of carrying Illinois, astate which never bas given ademocratic majozity in a presidential year since Lincoln?” “Yea,” he answered, “I have confidence that we shall carry the state. Our hold upon it is progressing rapidly, and as the returns come in from various parts of the state our cunfidence increases.” ; “Where do you expect to make your gains to overcome the republican vote?” “All over the state, but particularly in Chi- The situation ‘there is becoming some- Chicago is a great million inhabitants, is largely demo- ins in Chicago. The democratic organizations have just nat- uralized 4,000 voters in Chicago alone, while the number naturalized by the republicans is only about 1,200. The democratic gains in other’ parts of the state will, I think, be about this proportion. i : “How is your party organizationin thestate?” “Very satisfactory. The best we have ever had. And everybody connected with it doing hard work and a great deal of it.” “What do you think of the prospects in the other western states?” The prospects in Wisconsin and Iowa are excellent. Wisconsin democrats do. not admit that Wisconsin is even now a doubtful stato from our standpoint. They claim that they will carry the siate for @Cleveland by a good round majority.

In Minnesota the republican plurality in 1884 waa 41,000, and in 1885 33,000. “In Towa the republican plurality in 1884 was 20,000, and in 1888 it was 31,000. In Illinois the republican plarality in 1834 was 25,000, and in 1688 it was ‘over 22,000. ‘A good many people who are pretty familiar with the situation in the west have been of the opinion all along that Nebraskn is more Likely to" be lost to the republicans than any other of the western states.

A Millionaire Fell From the Second Story and Broke His Neck. Drrnorr, Miow., Sept. 24.—J. H. Wickes, » well-known New York millionair in a house of ill repute on Monroe avenue about 10 o'clock last night. He bad entered the place early in the evening and after drinking @ quantity of liquor repaired to » fall room on the second floor. About 10:30 o'clock he went to the window and opened it te-let in some fresh air. In some way he lost hie balance and fell to the sidewalk below, breaking his neck. Mr. Wickes was the presi- dent of the Wickes Refrigerator Company of New York and wasin Detroit on business con- nected with the company. { eee IN WALL STREET TODAY. ‘The Market Opened With Considerable Activity. New Your, Sept. 24—Tho heavy liquidating of short accounts in stocks during the Last two days left little of that kind of operations for today, but the demand from that source was still enough, coupled with the scat tering new business brought in by the rise, to impart a firm tone to the market this’ morning and to stimulate considerable activity among the few leading shares. Open- ing figures showed great irregularity, but were generally higher than last evening's, The subsequent gains in no case ex- ceeded 14 per cent, and even this advantage could not be maintained by tho bulls, called forth by the high prices and the desire to even up over the end of the week. The concessions in Reading, Northern Pacific _ preferred and some’ others among the lend- ers were materinl and their prices retired below those of the opening. The late dealings developed no feature, however, and at 11 0’clock the market was duli and stagnant,with prices at about the level of those of the opening. Money on cail was easy during the two hours of business this morning, closing offering at 834 per cent, Exchange quiet. Posted rates, 450340488; nctunl rates, 48034 for sixty days and 487 for demand.

Mr. D. R. MoKee, agent of theAseociated Press, said: “I know that no other encampment was ever covered as Tr San covered this one. In fact I never naw in any paper anywhere better work throughout then Ear Stan has done this THE NEWS FEATURE THE TRIUMPE. “What struck the practical newspaper side of my nature," said A, J. Halford of the United Press, ‘‘wae the remarkable fullness and accu- racy of the reports of the daily proceedings which Taz Stan presented. Some of the ha Peninge did not take pince until well on fo the afternoon, but Tu Stan captured them and placed them before the public within the briefest possible period. This excellence, praiseworthy in iteef, was by no means all of 2 Bran. In every one of its many pager was evidence of the bet brain work and tireloss energy, but to mo the news feature was the trinmph.” BEYOND ALL COMPETITION AND COMPARISON. W. R, Bell of the Pittsburg Leader and the Louiville Post was especially pleased with: the war chapters and the illustrations. ““Ifany one wants a comprehensive idea of the war,” said file of Taz Sram for this week, I have rend every word of the many special articles as they were printed from day to day and am grateful for the valuable information which was 60 pleasantly imparted. There must have beon & tremendous expenditure of energy in the collection of so much that to me was novel. The combination of reminiscence and news— finely illustrated—presented in this week's Stam is above and beyond all competition or com- parison, RELIED ON THE STAR. Smith D. Fry was remarkably frank: “I represent nine daily newspapers,” said he,“‘and not one of them would have received proper or adequate service had it not been for the activity, energy and accuracy of ‘Tux Stan's corpsof reporters. ‘The work done was marvelous alike for its quantity and quality. Ican pay it no higher compliment than to say that I depended upon it.” AN IDEAL SOUVENIR. “Tue Stan was an idgal Grand Army sou- venir,” said Chas.C. Randolph of the New York Tings. ‘Not only did it print all the news of the @Acampment, but it spiced the issues with dashes of the most interesting history—much of it new. “To me those sketches were the most at- tractive of the many features. So far asI know, no newspaper in any city over did so much’ good work 01 cial subject as THE Stan has done this week. A MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION. “The Grand Army Stan was a magnificent producsion,” said Manager P. V. De Graw of “Vigwed from any stand- point it was a success. It contained all the news and much special matter that was deeply interesting. Its illustrations were most su- proud of Tux Stan's achievementa. A MODEL PAPER. Said E. M. Hood of the Associated Press: “@bc encampment edition of Tux Stan should, every student of history. Not only is it inter. to the men who fought the nation’s bat paigns of the rebellion contain much matter valuable to the historian which bas never before been so attractively presented. Tux Stan was @ model paper. A MARVEL OF THOROUGHNESS AND ACCURACY. “Newspaper men in ‘harness” can appreciate the work of others,” said John Boyle of the United Press. “As one I regard the work done on Tux Star during the present week as a marvel of thoroughness and accuracy.” NEVER BEEN EXCELLED. 3.8. Van Antwerp of the Minneapolis Jour- nal and Denver Times said: “The Grand Army Srans were wonderful productions. They have never beon excelled. The record the will remain unbroken for a long while." ‘A SPLENDID NEWSPAPER. “Tax Eventxa Stan,” enid H. B. F. Mac- farland of the Boston Herald and Philadelphia Record and president of the Gridiron Club, “has done itself infinite credit by its Grand Army encampment edition. We of Wash- ington know by experience the capabil- any event Jn the best ponsible way, but it must have been a surprise to visitors from afar, who have so much to learn of Washington, to find a metro- litan evening newspaper ‘hero at the cap- Tila tuave con terecy bad clear oe complimentary allusions to Tue Stan's news reports and pictures. Its epecial articles were, Tknow, in many instances preserved and made portions of libraries. Tue Stan isto be con- gratulated not only on its admirable work, but also on the business results, which must bare been gratifying to it. No one could have been othorwise—than pleased with the issues, Tux Stan is a splendid newspaper.” THE YLOOD-TIDE MARE OF HIOH-GRADE WORK. “Great is Tue Stan,” ‘Max F. Johnson of the Philadelphia Worf American, ‘and especiall great is the Grand Army Stan. To name ite many excellent features would be sim- ply to st the titles of overy chapter. It Teached the flood-tide mark of high-grade news- paper work.” CANNOT BE COMMENDED TOO HIGHLY. Henry E. Elend of the Rochester Union and. Advertiser said: “Tux Stan cannot be com- mended too highly for its Grand Army num- bers. Only a newspaper man can comprehend the immense amount of toil necessary to pro- duce such papers." BEYOND oRITICINN. “Several friends in the west sont to me asking for somo souvenir of the Grand Army encamp- ment,” sald Chas. T. Thompson of the Chicago News Record. “and Ihave forwarded them files of Tux Stab for this week. nothing conld give them such a true idea of the t event as Mr. Spencer Gets s Divorce.

Maj. Gen. John Pope of the volunteer service | and major general of the regular army of the United States, was born in Kaskaskia, I, on March 19, 1828. He graduated in 1842 from ‘West Point, standing seventeenth ina class of fifty-six.
