New York, Sept. 1.—There is but one ab- sorbing topie in this city today—cholera. It 1s injected into the home circle and into the business life of every man, women and child capable of reasoning, in the motropolis: From the savant to the gamin, the probabilities and possitilities of its gaining a foothold in this couutry have been discussed All admit the danger, but some cover their fears with as- sumed indifference, at the same time care- fully perusing the numerous preventives published in the papers and clipping from them a copy to be taken home and placed in the keeping of tho housewife with many in- Junctions as to their obsorvance, This is the time when the watering places begin to re- turn their crowds of seckers after fresh air and cool breezes to their wintar homes in the city, but today it is safe to say tho tele- graph was freighted with anxious injunctions to absent ones to remain away. The first thought of the man whose family 1s in the city 15 where to send them away from the germs of death, now apparently threatening nis loved ones. Whiie there is confidence in the judgment and avility of the healtn ofli- cers, New York seems smalier than usual to many, and the interior of the country, away from the incoming plague ships, has attrac- tions for even the most reckless. Health Officers nre Bus; President Wilson and Dr. Edson, the sani- tary superintendent, have peen very busy making preparations for the reception and treatment of cholera pasents. Arrange- micuts have been almost perfected for the establishment of & hosvital. ha site has been chosen, and there re n only some trivial matters of dotail to be arranged. Until they have been settled, the location of the bospital will not be made public. Dr. Edson says ho hus no doubt that the deaths on tha steamship Moravia were caused by cholera, but Dr. Jenkins and Prof. Biggs wero making & basteriological examin- ation and the resuit would be made public as soon as concluded. He says positively that there 15 not a case of cholera in this™ oly. % .. here hnd been a number of suspiciou cascs reported during the past week. ‘Lheso had all been investigated with great care and were found to be no worse than aggra- ‘¥ated summer complaint. ‘The disinfecting corps of the health de- artment has been put ou an emergency foot- ng and plans perfacted by which a thorough aiswfection of the cellars, sinks and tene- ment house vards and the street gutters will b accomplished whenever itis dcemed uec- essary. Polieemen Given Orders, following orders in regard to cholera were Teud at the police rolicall: “Patrolmen are to report every violation of the sanitary laws on their posts promptly. They are 1o report av once any dead apimal or anything clse in the streets detrimental 10 public health, also all cases of sickness, contagious or otherwise, that may como under their notice; also tenement houses, stables, manufactories or cellars in o filthy condition. They must arrest all ped- dlers vending unripe or rotten fruit, or de caying fish, etc., and report unciean stroets, ashies and garbago not removed, or anything else that they may observe on their™ posts which in their judgment threatens tho pub- lic bealth, “Sergeants ou desk dutv must at once transmit to the central office all reports made by patrolmen ana other olicers oo sanitary miattors.” All such reports, as soon as they reach po- Jice headquarters, wiill bo forwarded to the sanitary bureau for investigation, ana the prompt abatemeut of tho nuisunces com- plained of will follow. Commissioner of Public Works Thomas F. Gilroy says: ‘‘The city authorities are tak- ing every possible precaution against the cholera, and will continue so to do as long as there is the slightest danger. In this depart- ment everv bureau is working with might ®ud main to carry out the directions which I gave to them in reference to precautionary measures, and I expect to have renorts as to the work that has been done before the end of the week.” Disinfectants Ordered Prepared, All the departments of tne city are work- fng vigorously to keep the scourge away. The corporations, too, are taking a hana in the fight, The officers of the Loung Island railroad sent a communication to the health department asking for iustructions as to what course should be pursued by the em- ployes if there should be a visitation of cholera, The board of health at once sent & copy of the following eircular to all tho rail- road stations and ferry houses in this city, Coples will also be sent to all the fuctories 0 this iy : HuALy 1802, The UgrAuryest, New Youk, Sopt. 1, o the Superintendents of Ferrles, Rall ¥ Munufiectories, ote., in New York Oity: Bhould cholera wppewr in thiscity a tomporary pluce of fsolation and detention shouid be Drovided in forry houses, railroad stutions, factories, cta, for such us may be tukon il thereat. or while riding on furry boits or allronds (street or steam) within this city. his room should be y reachod and huve a watertight floor.

The pilot did not land at quarantine. 'I'he tug touched there for a minuto and then went to the bark Clyde River, upon which Roff was towed to the city, When ho wus Janded at the Battery he went directly to his home. Pilot Roff was interviewed by a reporter, and this is his story ¢ “I boarded the Moravia about 4 o'clock Tuesdaay afternoon, justoff tho- lightship, about forty miles out. As the vessel was so near port she, of course, required all my at- tention. I wentupon the bridge at once and did not_leave it until we came to anchor about 10 o'clock last night off quarantive. Then T went to bed. “F'rom the time I went on board until I left the vessei I aid not notice anything un- usual among tha ofticers, crew or passengers, except that the passengers seemed particu- Jarly anxious to geton shore. [ was told takea off the | that there had been sickness on the voyage and a numbe: of deaths, Thoe deaths were amoug the children. Idid not think any- thing of it at the time for nobody seemed to be at all alarmed,” Ignorant of the Scare, ‘‘Was there any saspicion that there was cholera on board ¢ “'Not the slightest, so far as 1 know. Idid not think there was cholera on board myself. The ship did not leave Hamburg until August 18, At that time, as I understand, it was not known that Hamburg was infected with cholera, or, 1n fact, that tne disease had traveled outside of Russia.” “Then the officers, craw and passengers of the Moravia had no knowledge of tho spread of the disease und the great fear it has aroused on both sides of the Atlantic!” “None whatever. The first intimation they had was from the newspapers which 1 brought them on Tuesday afternoon.” “‘Until then the surzeon had not the faint- est idea that there might be cholera on board (" ““Well, of courso, I cannot speak of that positively, but I don'tthink he had. Idid not talk with the surgeon, so I don't know what he thought aboutit. The general be- hief was tnat thosa who died were suffering from cholera morbus. I think that's what the trouble was. If the people on the ship thought there was cholera avoard, it seems to mo that they would have acted in an en- tively different manner when they real in the papers about the choleca scare. The ofti- cers seemed to be impressed with it. Up to that time I don’t think tho slightest anxiety was felt. Those on board could not under- stand why the health officers made suon a commotion and why the boat was turned down the bay. The officors and craw grim- bled as much as the- passengers. No ono could understand what it all meant.” Anxious to Get Ashore, “‘Were the passeogors at all frightened?’ “No, I don’v think they were when I got aboard, but they wore very auxious to get ashore, Idon't suppose they will see the Battery ivside of a week.” **What was supposed to be the cause of the sickness?” +Ohb, the water, T suppose; I don’t knew,of course. Itisnot my ousiness to know about these things. [ had all I couid do to get the ship into port.”’ “*When did the sickness break outd” “Within a short time after they loft port, 1 was toid.” s there much sickness on the Moravia when vou boarded her” *Idon’t know about that. 1 know that none of the crew was sick. Half the passen- gers might ve in the hospital and 1 might not know anything about it The savitary department will ask thai special harbor police be appointed to patrol the bay with orders to shoot anyone attempt- ing to board any quarantined vessel. Iv is believed this is aimed at inquisiuve reporters. All the big transatlantic steamers scheduled to arrive today have been nheard from. The hoalth officers say all ure cican, and Lho pas- sengors healthy, ‘The steamers Laun and Galliaareobjects of suspicion, as many of their passengers are kuown to have come through the 1nfected localities, The Lahn has 264 saloor passengers and 453 1mmigrants, mostly Germans and Russian Jews. Most of the siloon passengers are refurning tourists from [urope who huve passed through places in Europe now infected with the dis- ense. He Had a Few Minutes Ashore. The captain of th» Moravia went ashore on Staten Island 1ast uigut. As scon as ‘he fact was discovered he was ordered back to the vessel. He had not been in contact with the infected part of the ship and 1t is not velieved any trouble will result. The Board of Health this wmorning ap- powted fifty special cholera inspectors, The department of public works nas issued orders for a [ull force of inspectors of nuisauces in the Crofon watershed to begin at once a thorough inspection and patrol of all streams, reservoirs, lukes and ponds tributary to the city water supply. A sanitary juspection of the steamer Labn this morning showed all the passenzers in exceptionally good health. The captain was instructed to fumigate the vessel thoroughly and romain in quarantine until given permw sion to leave. The immizrauts aboard will be transferred to Hoffman Island for further 1n- spection. The inspectors next wenl on board the steamer Gallia, which carried 225 cabin passengers and 950 third class. All were found to be tealthy. The Gallia will be detained until tomorrow or lonzer. Among her third class passengers are 273 Russian Jews and forty Poles, No New Cases at Quarantine, QuiraxTINg, N. Y., Sept. 1.—Tho condi- tons &t Quarantine are unchanged The steamers Veeadam, Lahn and Gallia are all here vyet., No cases of sickness are reported yet. The steamer Meravia was sent 1o the lower bay two miles south of Swinburn Island this morning. Dr, Sanborn reports there are no now cases on board. The steamers Circassia and Toutonic left Quarantine at 11 a, m, The passongers on_the Moravia will be given a batn this afternoon. The steamer will remain at the town quarantine until all traces of the discase are removed. The heaith officers profess not to oxpect @ further outoreak on board, but from the fact that expert nurses have been called for to serve a month itseems certain thoy are prepared for such a happen- wg, Dr. Jenkins this morning said he way not prepared 1o say the discase on the Moravia was truly Asiatic cholera until the examination of the infected clothing was completed. No oue could say positively what the disease was. He admiticd there s0mo symptoms such as ure not kuown to exist except in cases of the Asiatic scourge, and few doubt it is that. On the Gallis the nealth oMcors found nine hiloren suffering from measles and two with ohicken pox. The officers then went to the Circassia and TPeutoric, ima finding that every precaution had been taken allowed them to proceed to their docl A report from quarantine at 3. m. states that tue results of the examination of tne soiled tinen taken from the Moravia's pas- sengers failed to reveal the presence of cholera bacteria. No more cholera ships expected until the arrival of the Mormannia, with 400 immi- grants trom Hamburg, who left several days after the epidemic broke out there. Latest Keports from Quarantine, Toaigut everything at the quarantine sta- tion is very quiet. The Lihun, Veendam and Gallia are lying off the upper anchorage and the Moravia is down at Hoffman isiaud. A representative of tho Assoclated Press saw Dr. Jenkins at a late hour, The senlor heaith ofticor stated that there were no fresh cases ou board the Moravia and thatthe convalescents Were Progressing very satis- factorily . The search for bacteria in the foul linen on board the Moravia which had been worn by 1he cholera vietims tad up to the present been fruitless, Lut further experiments will e carried oo tomorrow. A strict guard is being kept on board the Moravia uud orders have been given Lo her cuptaiu to Aire at any one endeavoriak to go alongside the steamer unloss & health ropresentative. _Authority of the Preside Wasnixaroy, D, C, Sept, 1.—Attorney | Geueral Miller this afternoon submitted an opinion to 1he pirestdant as tatha anthorit | of the executive io wmatiers of Guarsutine | regulations. The opiulon reviews the various acts of eougress ou the subject sud coacludes Y MORNING, follows: “My conciusion is that the surgeon general of the marine hospitsl service and the secretary of the treasury, with your approval, have autnority to make neeaful riles and_regulations, not inconsistent with tho state laws and rogulations, for the quar- antining of ships coming into our harbors with a view 10 the protection of the health ana lives of our people.” A TWENTY DAYS' QUARANTINE, The Treasury Department Will Take Action on the Chotera Situation, Wasmivatoy, D. C., Sept. 1.—President Harrison roached Washington this morning at1lo'clock. Tho president met Secretary of the Treasury Foster and Attorney General Miller, the only members of the cabinet fu the oity, to consult with reforence to the cholera situation. Assistant Secratacy Spaulding of the Treasury department and Dr. Wyman, surzeon general of the Marine hospital service, wero also present. After an hour's deliberation it was de- cided not to issue a proclamation now, but to issue a special circular. The circular will be issued by the Treasury department. It will amount practically to a twenty dags’ quarautine of vessels, or longer if necessary. It will be coupled with the provision that it will bo enforced whero not in controven- tion to state laws, The issuance may be delayed somewhat owjng to the de- sire of the department to publish at the samo time tho opinion of the attornoy goneral on the question of certain rights of the govern- ment in the maiter which it is thought should accompany toe circular, To Ald the Quarantine Oficers, The Treasury department will have the national quarantine av the Dolawaro Break- water and Cape Charles, Virginia, furnished with revenue cutters to assist in preventing the introduction of cholera by those routes, The condemned steamer Crawford at Cape Charles has been fitted up as a hosplual to be used in case of need. The twenty days' quarantine to be de- clared in tho proposed circular will apply to vessels from ull poris, but the sanitary offi- cers will be allowed to exercise discretion in the cases of those coming from noninfectad vorts with clear bills of health, ‘The effect of the circular will be to discourage immi- gration, as the steamship companies will not ve wiiling to lose money oy bringing over immigrants and supporting them so iong in port. It will also be a notice to foreign governments that immigration for the pres- ent is undesirable, The governor of Michigan has telegraphed to the secretury of the treasury askiag that an addiuonal force of medical inspectors be detailed along the state border to assist the immigrant inspectors already op duty.

Tho beggage of every Russian immigrant was thoroughly fumigated with steam at 212 degrees Fahren- beit. The vessel will ba fumigated later. The immigrants on the Karlscube this trip are yery much above the ordinary. They are strong, healthy looking people. “I am_ not ofraid that tho cholera will bo brought 1Lto this country through the per- sons of jmmigrants this summor. What I fear most is that the germs will be brought ever here in tho clothing and baggage of tho immigrants, lie dormant all the winter and then become active next summer and cause disease.”’ A cablegram to Schumacher & Co. from Bromen notes the sailing from thab porl August 30 of the steamer Stuttgart of the North Germau Lioya line.

ANXIOUS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE WAY They Make a Farce of Examlnlng Them —Only Held a Single Duy Before Belng Allowed to Embark for America —Cholera Notes. Stermiy, Sept. 1.—Hundreds of Russian Jows arrive bero by sea from Meuiel, or by rail from Eidtkuhnen. Oa their arrival here they are quarantined on an isfhnd under supervision of the medical authorities until the saliing of thesteamers for Amer: This quaranting is of little value, however, as the emigrants are not detained any length of time, but are hustied on board the steamers as quiokly ns possiblo, I'ne Ger- man authorites wish to have as little trouvle with them as possible. Thus men may be sbipped off o America, after a single day’s quarantine, That many of them come from infected districts is proved by the statement of United States Consul Kellogg, who _told the Associated Press corresponagnt that tho laststeamer which sailed, Angust 6, had quite @ number of passengers from tho infected districts aboard. Dr. Baroum Scbulz, royal dlstrict vhysi- cian, who has charge of the quarantine, told tho correspondent that tho medical exumin- ation which the emigrauts underwent was of no actual value and was only carried out in order to quiet the foars of the Stottin bour- geoiso. A man might come from the infected districts and not have tho disease himself, but ecarry it along in bis belongings.

An Old Woman and Child Thrown Into the Street and Kicke, Beruiy, Sopt. 1..—The panic smong the lower classes, always increaibly coarse and brutal, gives rise to many revolting scenes. For instance, on Monday a poor old lady was taken iil in the street and began to reel. A workman supported her until sne began to vomit, when he quickly bolted. A crowd gathered around the woman ata safe dis- tance, when suddenly a bricklayer, after carefully wrappiog a handkerchief around his hand, scized bold of the sufferer and dragged her in @ brutal manner to the middle of tue street, where he left her, after kicking her prostrate form and telling her in the vilest lerms that he would stop her from fufecting their houses. In the mean- time the woman’s grandda s present during the revolting sc was crying bitterly, clasped the knees of a man in the crowd and implored him to have pity, when the wretch flung her, with an oath, on top of her unconscious grandmotner, the child being stunned by the fali. Both wers thus left lying in the street until other per- sons passing the spot took compassion on them and belped them to reach their homes. Medical attendance was summoned aod it was found that they were suffering from choleraic diarrhcea, They are now recover- ng. Arrived trom Humburg, _Queskc, Sep. 1.--The German steamor Cremona, Captatn Myerdick, from Hamburg, August 13, via Antwerp, August 16, arrived at Grosse isle yesterdoy and was at once placed in quarantine.

Careless at Engli Loxpoy, Sept. 1.—The Lancet, the leading medical journal of England, says it believes the present state of affairs prevailing at somo of the principal ports in the south of England is aiscreditaolo. Among the pre- cautions taken to prevent cholera from ob- tainiug a footbold in the country, The Lan- cet £ays, no means of isolation of the frst persons attacked by the disease have boen provided. If the present emergency passes, as we believe it will, we hope that the fow months interval wiil ba utilized in preparing to combat the malady next vear, which is likels to bring dangers far iv excess of any now existing.

The restof Dber stort history and the sad fatality is best told in the words of Stewart, who is the only oue left of tho twenty-seven souls to tell the terrible tale: Story of the Only Survivor, “Everything went woll until about sixty miles above Whitefish, when the first warne ing anyone on board hud of impending dan- ger was a terrible crash avout 9 a m,, caused by the huge craft breakiog in two and breaking tne muinmust about half way up the rigging. She took in water fast from the start and the yawl boats were lowered. Captain Mioch, his fawily and the ofticors and crew of the boat, to the number of sev- enteen, got into the wooden yawl and the others took the metallic one. The Iteserve sank in ten minutes and be- foro she had haraly gone out of sight the metallic yawl capsized. The other went to ber assistance, but only succeeded in rescuing two of her occupants, Captain Minch's son and the steward. The nineteen survivors started for Whitetish, sixty miles away. Tho wind was about west when they started, but voered to the north, making & considerable sen. But the boat weathered the breakers ail mght aud until 7 o'clock in the morning, when sbout ten miles from ife suving station No. 1, nud aboutone mile from tho shore it capsized. Stewurt says that be saw none of the oc- cupants after that. Ho struck out for the shore but the cris of the children, fcreams of the women and moaning of men were tor- rible for a few minutes, Then all became silent. Stewart was in tho water two Lours: He struck shore about ten wiles above the station and had to wulk there before reach- ingany one to render him assistance. A search failed to find any trace of any other survivor of the wreck and there is no gues- tion but that they wero ail drowned.
