Noe Further Developments Dynamiters’ Case. ‘The greatest activity is stfll displayed at Scotland Yard in connection with the dyn- amite conspiracy, but there have been no further definite developments. ‘The officials of the British embassy at Paris have formally requested the French government to detain Tynan, pending the arrival from Engiand of the documents nec- essary in order to make the demand for his extredition In regular form. State Department Without Advices. The State Department has not been ad- vised that Tynan, the famous “No. 1” of the Phoenix Park tragedy, now under ar- rest at Boulogne, has appealed to Ambas- sador Eustis, claiming exemption from sur- render to the British authorities by reason of his American citizenship. The officials ot the department decline to say, in ad- vance, what action would be taken in such case, but the practice fn the past has been to avoid interference and to permit the sur- render, presuming that the proceedings are in accordance with the usual legal code of the two countries. In other words, Ameri- can citizenship cannot be set up to prevent the extradition of a person arrested in one country for a crime committed in anothe As far as the United States is concerne, it has gone on record as taking an advance position in this matter, although some na- tons claim that such persons cannot be surrendered without the consent of the country of their citizenship. Attitude of the United State: Many years ago when the United States ship Constellation was at Marseilles, three of her sailors on a spree got into a dispute, in the course of which they threw over- board and drowned a native boatman, and then fled to Genoa. The French govern- ment made a demand upon Italy for their extradition, and was informed that the men being citizens of the United States could be surrendered only with the consent of t country. The French minister at Washi ton, by instructions of his government, thereupon made the request to the Secre- tary of State. The latter promptly replied that he would interpose no obstacles to the surrender of the men, for it could claim no jurisdiction over its citizens who committed crimes in one foreign country and fled to another. So the sailors were turned over to France. Within a year or two this government has also surrendered to Great Britain an Italian subject who committed a crime on British territery and fted to New York to escape. In the case of France, the authorities on extradition show that she has always as- gerted a similar right to surrender fugitives of a third country without seeking its con- gent, so the prospects for successful inter- vention in behalf of Tynan are not consid- ered encouraging —— To Settle the Idaho Trouble. P. A. Walsh, secretary of the democratic national committee, has arrived in Boise, Idaho, for the. purpose of making an at- tempt to adjust the differences of the silver forees of the state. He represents not only the democratic committee, but has full power and instructions to speak for the xational populist committee. This is the fecond attempt to secure recognition of the iIver republicans. - in the chaynber S, $49.8). Moses’ furniture sale.—Advt. THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1896-TWELVE PAGES.

The Senators Appronching the De- sired Muth Place. By winning from the Brooklyns yesterday the Senators approached a few points near- er ninth place, and if they can manage to- day to take the fourth consecutive game from the visitors, Loth clubs will be tied in the league race, with the chances in favor of the locat club winning out. The Washington club is playing snappy ball these days, and as the remaining games of the season are all to be played cn the home grounds, there is reason to believe that the club will end the year higher and with a better percentage. Mercer was sent in to pitch yesterday, the second time in the present series. Mer- cer seems to be the Brooklyns’ hoodoo, and the spell was not broken yesterday. Six bits were made off his delivery, and in only one inning was there a suc safe drives. Opposed to Mercer was Stein, whom the Senators found to be easy, con- necting safely with the ball sixteen times tor a total of twenty bases. Bunched with the hits were errors on the part of the vis- itors, so that the local club took the lead from the start end was never headed, nor Was the issue of the geme in doubt at any time. Farrell led with the stick, making a sac- rifice, two singles and a dcuble out of five turns at the bat. Selbach, O’Brien and Cartwright aiso knecked out doubles, and every Senatcr made at least one safe hit. For the visitors, Jones, the right fielder, carried off the honors, making three sin. gles, and at his last turn at bat knock- ed one that looked good for three bases, but Brown captured it after a hard run. Yesterday’s game was devoid of sensa- tional plays, end wes marred somewhat from tne spectators’ standpoint by contin- uous and ineffectual kicking by the Brook- lyn players against the impartial decisions of the umpire, Mr. Heydler. Smith, hoy ever, made a beautiful stop of McCarthy's bunt and threw the runner out at first, for which he deserves credit. The score follows: WASHINGTON, R.H.O. BROOKLYN. R. 1/Shindle, 0: Me Burr.

Pitcher McMahon is of opinion that a base ball player has no real friends. Capt. Joyce of the New Yorks will spend the winter at Hot Springs. Base ball ficurishes in Japan. Small balls and bats are used. Among the Western Union people there are many ball cranks, and nearly every operator detailed for duty.at a ball park is a thirty-second degree fan. Fred Pfeffer has been informed by prom- inent lawyers that he can collect every cent due him from the New York club. Against Baltimore “Cy” Young won four out of five games pitched, and Cuppy won five out of six games pitched. Johnny Ward says: ‘Considered purely from the standpoint of relative innate Strength, I think the Cleveland team to- day is the strongest in the league.” Before Farrell left New York it was given out that his throwing to second was very weak. Since his arrival in Washing- ton Charley's right arm seems to be in great shape, and very few get away with a steal. Mercer speaks very highly of Farrell as a coacher for pitchers.—Cleve- land Plain-Dealer. The Providence and Buffalo base ball clubs having finished first and second, re- spectively, In the championship series of 1806 for the Eastern League pennant, are entitled to compete for the Steinert cup in a series of games, scheduled to be played on September 17, 19 and 20 at Buffalo, Sep- tember 23, 24 and 26 at Providence. The umpires selected to officiate are Gaffney and Swartwood. At a meeting last night of the Virginia State Base Ball League, held at Norfolk, Monday's game between Portsmouth and Norfolk was protested by Owners Watson and Maynard, and taken to the national beard. This decision leaves Norfolk and Portsmouth a tle for first place. To sound Griffith's praises is not to dis- credit Friend, Terry and Briggs, neces- sarily. Friend is considered by his em- ployers the best “‘south-paw” in the league, and he ranks next to Griffith for the sea- son. But it is the history of base ball that left-nanded pitchers do not last as long or improve with time as much as their right-handed brethren. Briggs is young and improving, and may develop next year into a “crackajack."—Chicago Tribune. Umpire Tim Hurst will earn many an easy dollar this winter. He will act as referee for Jim Kennedy’s Empire Athletic Club in New York. It is id that Arthur Irwin will manage the Milwaukee team next season. His con- tract with the New York club expires November 16. The Cincinnati club will probably clear more money than any club in the league, with Chicago second. It is estimated that Brush’s net profits this season will be at least $45,000. Baltimore, of course, will make good money, too, but not so much as one would imagine. The novelty of a pen- nant winner has been worn out.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. During the second game at Buffalo Sat- urday Wadsworth was presented with a bouquet, Piggy Ward, the erstwhile Sen- ator of the hearty taugh, of the Toronto team, who fs becoming more popular with the local fans with each appearance, be- moaned the fact that he was without friends in a strange country. He was mis- taken. He also received a presentation, a young cabbage head, which was later sup- plemented by a sandwich and a bag of pea- buts. Old Rellable Ed. McKean is the base hall Rock of Ages. Season after season his batting averages the same, never less than 3. Taka his average for all the years he has played with Cleveland and it is doubtful if any player in the league, pos- sibly Anson excepted, will show a better recor. Great sums have been offered President Robison for McKean, but when he is sold the genial president of the Cleve- land club will be ready to go out of the business.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Says the Cleveland World: “Cleveland's pitchers are the best in the land. No need to tell what Young and Cuppy are in the base ball world; every one knows. Wal- lace is showing up splendidly, and Wil- son maintains the ability he displayed ear- ly in the season. Both of these pitchers have one failing. They are apt to weaken toward the end of the game. This {s not from faint-heartedness, but because neither has the physical qualifications to stand a long siege. Gear gives great promise, and will surely be heard from next sea- son. Lezotte, the Pirates’ new man, has play- ed in 100 games, went to bat 488 times and made 194 base hits, a batting average of In the field he has had 188 put outs, assists and 15 errors, a fielding average of .%82. He has 31 doubles, 11 triples and three home runs to his credit. He has made four hits in one game seven times, and three hits 15 times. He played 52 games without missing a hit, and made 61 hits in the 32 games and scored 9 runs. Says an exchange: The Cincinnati club is the only one in the league that pays off when pay day arrives and the team is on a trip. The move is a bad one, as the last eastern trip proved. Hill lost a string of six games three dif- ferent times for the Colonels this year. Altogether he has lost twenty-six games, winning seven. Fourteen of his lost games have heen lost by one run. President Andrew Freedman will recog- nize no league passes next year, and he further says that he does not believe that there will be any of the silver souvenirs issued, declaring: “I know there won’t be any if I can stop it.” Louisville has offered Left Fielder Clarke to Boston in exchange for Duffy. Outfielder Wm. H. Hargrove of the Ports- mouth (Virginia League) team is Manager Hanlon’s latest acquisition. Manager Han- lon has decided to carry an extra out- fielder with the club next year. Boston has arranged a series of five g#ames with Providence for the champion- ship of the New England states. “That a team loses many games by one run ig no argument in favor of luck,” says Umpire Lynch. “The very fact that they are unable to score two runs to win shows their inability to rise to the oc- casion, especially when they are defeated game after game by one run.” The Baltimores will probably win the pennant with the highest average on rec- ord since 18864, when the Chicagos took the flag with .725. The highest finishing aver- age in the National League is that of the Chicagos in 1876, the first year, when they ended at .758. BARNIE MAKES CHARGES, Says the Newarks Counted Exhibition as Championship Games. Marager Billy Barnie of the Hartford club, which finished second in the Atlantic League race, is indignant because the New- ark club, as he states, has been awarded the pennant by President Crane. Barnie claims that Newark played a number of exhibition games, and that they were counted in as championship contests. He also claims that Newark played a pitcher in five games who really belonged to Hart- ford, 28 he says the pitcher was legally awarded to his club. He also says that Newark played a man from the Roanoke club who had been blacklisted. President Crane of the Atlantic League, in reply to Barnie’s charges, says that Newark has not been awarded the pennant. 7 we “The official stores,’’ said Mir. Ctane, ee not reached me: yet, and until they do cannot tell who has really won the pén- nant. If Newark has counted in exhibi- tion games, and: thus ied the lead, they will be thrown out and pennant eward- ed the club which Is reajly entitled to it, As to the other chargesImads,by Mr. Bar- nie, they will be attended to if he wants them investigated. ~ MONDAYS CYCLING RACES.

Fister on his attempt after the American twenty-four-hour record, which, it is thought, will start at 6 o'clock in the even- ing. The officials of the meet have not as yet been selected. C. A. C. Tournament Postponed. At a meeting of the tournament commit- tee of the Cclumbia Athletic Club at tife club house last evening it was decided that in view of the continued bad weather,which has ccmpletely soaked the grounds at Co- lumbDia field, it would be advisable to post- pone the event for one week. A large num- ber of entries in every event has been re- ceived, but the lst will be continued open until next Monday evening. A number of prominent gentlemen Haye agreed to act as officials of the affair. Trainer Crossley had the track in excellent condition, but the rain has prevented the finishing touches being put on. Feeling Between Brash and Hart. Chicago having played a tle game at Cleveland Tuesday, refused Cincinnati's request to double up two games in the af- ternoon, so that the Reds could play at Cleveland today. The Reds will go over to Cleveland today and lay off. They had in- tended to play two games there Saturday, but Jim Hart and Anson, by their refusal, compelled the Cincinnat! men to make an extra trip to Cincinnatt over Sunday. The act will not be overlooked, as it will cost the club over $200 In railroad fare, and spoils several exhibition games. a W SCHOOL YEAR. THE N Well-Known Educational Institutions of Wai sion.

HOW TO AVERT CHOLERA Some Suggestions by Dr. James F. Love to Surgeon General Wyman. Rigid Examination of Pilgrims to Mecea Recommended—The Source of the Scourge. Dr. James F. Love, a citizen of Philadel- phia, row practicing his profession in Alex- andria, Egypt, sends an interesting and valuable report on cholera in the east to Dr. Walter Wyman, surgeon general of the United States marine hospital service. ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, August 10, 1896. Sir: The present epidemic of cholera in Egypt emphasizes the importance which at- taches to international sanitation and the geography of disease. The cutting of the Suez canal, when viewed: from some of its effects, is not an unmixed blessing. Restoring to Egypt the position lost to her for 300 years, that of the key to the orlent, it has so altered the currents of commerce and travel that fac- ters are involved which have as much sani- tary interest as any with which medical science has to deal. As the ultimate inquiry deals with the exact origin of the scourge, we may accept without cavil the finding of the Koch com- mission, that the home and source of the comma bacillus is in the delta of the Ganges. The researches of Professor Proust, in- speetor general of the French sanitary ser- vice, are of immense interest in this connec- tion. He reiterates that cholera is endemic in the portions of India named, and that under illy defined or comprehended condi- tions the scourge becomes epidemic. As is well known, there was the origin of the epidemic which devastated Egypt in 1830, 1840, 1865, 1883 and in 1895. Professor Proust's studies indicate an in- crease in the virulence of the germs at their very source. That region of the Ganges bounded upon the west by one of the branches of the Hoogly river, and upon the east by the Brahmapootra and extending as far Into the interior as Benares, is the seat of endemic cholera. The region fs tri- argular, its upper part inhabited, its base a desolate waste. The latter is the Swader- ban region, covering an area of 7,500 square miles. Each high tide resembles an inun- dation, and, on subsiding, leaves vast areas of slimy ooze. Pernicious fever is almost certain to any one staying in the locality. Add to these marshy masses the sewage trought by the great rivers from upper In- dia and there is furnished the soil for the Gevelopment of the cholera bacillus. These ccntaminated waters are used for drinking purposes by the natives. The introduction even of ‘ilters, instead of sterilizing appa- ratus, has reduced the death rate from cholera in Calcutta from 4,000 to 1,400 per year; the entire death rate of India has, however, increased ubout twenty per cent in ten years. From this and similar geo- graphical situations, a stream of travel of Mohammedans 1s constantly going toward Mecca by way of the Red sea. These pil- grims undergo no sanitary examination prior to their departure nor before their entry into Mecca. Pilgrims from other regions come by way of the Suez canal and through the Red sea. Leaving Mecca there is a constant stream of travelers from Mecca to Damietta, Alex- andria and Cairo. Coming in contact with pilgrims from the regions where cholera is endemic, it necessarily follows that in their return the pilgrims from Egypt im- port the bacillus. This was unquestionably the source of the epidemic of 1895. It made its appearance about September, 1805, at Salhieh, a village north of the delta of the Nile. Cholera was epidemic at Mecca at this time, the period of the pilgrimage. A number of deaths occurred in the vil- lage named, before the sanitary officers appeared to be cognizant of the existence of the disease. Their attention was doubt- less diverted by their confidence in the precautions taken by the quarantine coun- cil of Egypt. A month later the disease appeared sud- denly at Damietta. In fact, it was only upon its appearance there that the malady was correctly diagnosed. Vigorous sanitary measures were at once begun by his ex- cellency Rogers Pasha, the director gen- eral of the sanitary service of Egypt, and by his colleagues, Drs. Schiess Bey, Pin- ching, Bitter, Garner and Prince Bey Without aid from the international quar- antine sanitary service, which was strange- ly apathetic, these former gentlemen, un- der the direction of H. E. Rogers, Pasha, by their courage and devotion undoubtedly lmited the spread of the scourge. The path of the disease was up the Nile to the ancient city of Minzalda, and follow- ing a branch of the Nile called the Bahr el Zughair (the Httle Jake), remaining Iccalized until the end of the year 1895. The first case in Alexandria appeared in January, 1896, where its progress was so successfully combated by Dr. Schtess’ Bey and Dr. Bitter that its extent was very limited during four months. The disease became epidemic in May, 1896, and very threatening, but the unceasing energy of the sanitary administration soon reduced the mortality to but few cases a day. Late in May cases of cholera were found in Cairo, and its spread was rapid. The same praiseworthy devotion of the sanitary authorities promptly reduced the mortality to but two or three cases a day in a city of over half a million people. The British army operating against the dervishes of Upper Egypt was not exempt from many victims of cholera. The sanitary service following and check- ing the disease wherever it appeared, noted that the epidemic was much less virulent than those of 1865 and 1883. It is confidently believed and asserted by medical authorities here that the disease will vanish as soon as cold weather ap- pears. The national quarantine against the in- troduction of cholera is as follows: By in- ternational agreement a sanitary cordon has _ been established upon the peninsula of Sinai. At these places returning pilgrims have their baggage disinfected, and are under surveillance for a period of ten days. If no cases of cholera appear, the pilgrims sre dismissed. Should any cases appear, the pilgrims are detained at Gebel el Tor for ten days after the last case is discov- ered. © * 8 Your correspondent dwells upon the sub- ject, as it is in reality the keynote to suc- cessful sanitary service in Egypt that its provisions be actually administered. The cold season appears here in October, when the cholera will probably be entirely suppressed. During the last season there was not one case of cholera among 6,860 tourists in Egypt. In point of fact, the last epidemic experded its force almost entirely upon the persons of the poor classes. It is the rule that epidemics of cholera in Egypt dis- appear with the hot weather. To prevent the deportation of the disease to European and American ports, it been decided that the rags for export, the principal fo- mites, should receive a thorough and de- tailed disinfection, to be done under com- petent and careful supervision. Each ship's cargo is to be accompanied by a certifi- cate of disinfection. One of the principal sources of the direct infection among the natives has been found in their drinking vessels. These are made of porous earthenware and are used in common by all the members of a family, passed frcm mouth to mouth, and infection is common. In disinfection of stricken families and their belongings, these vessels are destroy- ed and new ones provided. The family clcthing is burned and replaced at the government expense. The walls, ceilings, etc. are washed liberally with corrosive sutlimate, and subsequently whiteweshed. The mortality thus far (August, 1896) of the present epidemic is about 16,000. In consideration of the fact that the current of travel, which passes to many parts of Europe and thence to the United States, centralizes in Alexandria, your cor- respondent believes that the safeguard of these countries Hes in the absolute ex- clusion of cholera from Egypt, and sug- gests the following provisions to that end: The Mohammedan exodus from India should be effectually stopped until it is shown that no pilgrim carries contagious or infectious disease with him. When pil- grims congregate prior to the departure for Mecca, rigid sanitary measures should be enforced, in order that no germ-laden devotee shall depart. Again, all pilgrims should be detained to determine whether any cholera exists among them. The sec- ondary points of departure from Mecca should also be carefully guarded, which might best be done at the entrances of the Suez canal. These recommendations should be im- pressed upon the British government and their officials in India, to the end that the Asiatic cholera in the present day of rapid transportation and large transcontinental travel, might not be permitted to follow all who may pass through India or have inter- “with such hearty approval. efforts. sSosdoadoesonsosdontectontondenodbostndiodostonteetestosdenteesoete PEPPY | Seago te er =e 4 Hinteetetetey Se EVENING est just now. 5 cents copy.

The State Department has been informed by United States Consul Wiesike at Man- agua that the Nicaraguan government, finding that the effect of the law of De- cember last fixing duties on imported wines and spirits has been to stop the importa- tion of California and other light wines and spirits which were formerly largely used, has adopted a new law, whioh went into effect August 19 last, readjusting the duties. Hereafter duties will be imposed as follows: On wines not more than twenty Gecrees strength, 6 cents (about 2.61 cents United States coin) for each pound Spanish weight gross, and ono cent more for each degree of strength in excess of twenty degre2s.

The republican netional committee has decided to send campaign speakers of na- tional prominence out through the silver producing statés and the Pacific slope. The advance-guard of these exponents of republican principles will be ex-Congress- man Butterworth of Ohio, who will speak in Wyoming September 28 and 29, and in Colorado September 80. From there he goes to Oregon, where he expects to deliver three speeches, and thence to California, where five speeches are scheduled. Other speakers are being communicated with, and will be sent west when negotiations are completed. WILL DEMAND GOLD. Colorado Miners 4 Forming an Or- ganization. One of the principal owners in the gold- producing mines in the Cripple Creek dis- trict of the United States has made the following statement: “On account of continued statements of the castern press that Colorado is a silver- producing state, and for that reason is for Bryan and Sewall, the owners of gold mines in the state which produce annually more than $20,000,000 of gold are form- ing a close corporation for the purpose of demanding of smelters that they receive payment for their product either in goid coin or gold bullion. In a few days the owners of gold mines will meet in Victor, Col., to perfect the organization and sign contracts. Fifteen mine owners, represeni- ing several cf the biggest gold mines in Colorado, with an annual production of $5,- 000,000, are heading the movement. The gold will be used in paying off employes and will thus go into circulation instead of into the banks.” nm. Buckner Speaks at Mem; Gen, Buckner, vice presidential nomince of the national democracy, and ex-Con- gressman John R. Fellows of New York addressed an audience of 4,000 péople in Memphis last night under the auspics of the Sound Money League. The rece p- tion of the speakers was hearty, and upon the stage and throughout the audience were representative business men, Gen. Buckner confined himself to a general dis- cussion of causes leading to the. Indlan- apolis convention and to an argument against the free coinage of silver. At the first mention of Bryan's name there was much applause, but the demonstration was rebuked by the chairman of the meeting, and no other attempt at interruption §as made. Gov.
