The fact toat I earned my breud by the sweat of a lead penci! finally proved the open sesame to an upper berth for Morrison and myself. In this wo enjoyed a fine turk- ish bath to the chiak of beer bottles und tin cups, and the discorduut ribaldry of tough aud courtesan.

At La Moth's there was quite a play this afternoon on the combination of Sullivan, Dixon and McAuliffe 3 to 1. Some- thing like §20,000 went into the book at these rates, and a big play is expected tonight, for it is expected that the arrival of John L. tomorrow morning will boom the champion’s stock up to absolute prohibitive oads.

The arrival of the Moyor delogation late last night with barrels of the Jong green to place on the cyelone from the much adver- tised village of Streator, has haa a tendency to boost him aboye McAuliffe, as the pool Tooms’ posted odds shows, till, as in tho case of Corbett, this sentiment is a forced, prejudiced one, and then even money will rule on the light weights, while in the champion battle thera will be virtually no betting at all, or at preposterous odds. After all the bluster and bombast by tho Corbett_cliques, they have laid no bets worth mentioning, and will lay none uniess they get a very long shot. Even Bob Masterson aud his Donver dele- gation, after all t'eir beiting bluster, still hayo their money in‘their pockets. There are two Denver factions here, one headed by the redonbtable rat, Tom Collins. George Converse, Roland Baldwin and Ed Shinner, the sprinter. aAnother by Johnny Murphy. The Murphy contiugent so far are the only Denver men who have put up any stuff.

What & Mississippl Mun Says of tho Great John L.’s Condition. BirmiNonan, Ala., Sept, 3.—The Sullivan car was detached from the Sullivan special train at Oakdale early this morning to avoid the possiblo dotention in Tennessee of Sullivan’s backer, Charlie Johnson. “There is a warrant still alive azainst Johnson, being a legacy of the Sullivan-Kiirain fighy two years ago. The main section of the train traveled through Chattunooza by tho usval tracks, whilo Sullivan’s car, with Johnson aboard, skirted through the freight yards on the edge of the city. At Morganville, just south of the Tennessee border, the two sec- tions of the trgin were reunited. Meanwhile Sullivan did some training in his training car — tossing the bag and skipping the rope. This was the first exer- cise he had taken since Thursday morning, and it brougnt out a profuse perspiration. Breakfast was served at Morganville. Be- fore lunch Sullivan took more exercise in the baggage car. Aftorwards, when he ‘was being rubbed down, he was observed by & man who saw bim heht Ryun and who has not since then seen Sullivan stripped. This man was asked his impression as to the champion’s con- dition, **He is not the same appearing man now us he was then,” was the replv. “He has fat- tened not only on his abdomen and sides, but his back and arms. Sullivan’s buttocks aro also fleshy and that portion of the body tightens up in the training as quick 1if not quicker thun any other part. If the buttocks have not tightened up 1t is safe to conclude thero is fat elsewhere on the body. Sullivan shcws his yoars, o, more than 1 expocted to find them.” Around New Orleans. Nuw OnLeaNs, L., Sept. 8.—Billy Myer at his training quarters rose early this morn- ing, and during the forenoon pat in some hard work.

Mujor Garrett of the Northeastern this ‘mormng recoived dispatches from headquarters at Cincinnati, saying that Sulli- van's speciul was well under way and that it will reach this city between 6:30 and 7130 to- morrow morning, unless some accident hap- pens. ‘The Olympic club is arranging for the champlon’s reception and will seo that quarters are prepared forhim.

TOTTEN INTERVIEWED, He Discussos a Schemo for Protecting Our Northern Borders. New Havews, Conn,, Sept. 8.—In an inter- view today relative to the anproach of tho pestilence, Prof. Totten romarked to the agent of the Associated Press that the chief danger lay in the direction of Canada, and that it was in that region that our ‘gates” should be most carefully shut aud guarded. At present they are not oven shut and, owing to tho intimate commercial relations existing between the two countries and the great length of the boundary, he said, there was but one way to effect a stringent quarantine —that is to establish a military one, pure and simple. He would bave a cordon of military posts established at once all along the border and the intermediate spaces watche®t and pa- trolled exactly as in the case of war. Of course this would be a more peaceful dsmon- stration and one mmed at cholera suspects only. He pointed out that a wise and liberal construction of the constitution fully war- rants the president of the United States to call out and muster into the service ‘‘such portious of the National guard or volunteers as may by necessary to provide for the pub- I safety." Faclng a Real Emergency. “We are now,” said the lieutenant, “fucing a real emergency, and if action is to be tuken on this suggestion it must be at once. My proposition 1s that at least 50,000 volunteers be called for by the president and duly apportioned throughout the northern states. Then they must be mustered into the regular service and placed in permanent camps along the whole border. Tho term of enhstmeat should be for at least four months, so as to extend into the season of permanent frost.” “This fsan opportunity” said tho pro- fessor, “‘to kill two birds with one stone, and should not be lost. Itisa splendia chance to learn a grand lesson in practical military campaigning, every feature of whish would aud should be similar to war service, except tie preseuce of an armed enemy. In the second place it would insure the public safely as 1o other measure can. *Of course, the sole object of establishing the cordon would be recognized as a mero protection against cholera. The armies of Kuropean nations are now doing this sort of duty. Austria ana Germany, for instance, are against Russis, and why should not we. The factis, we should, and, I maintain, that the president has indisputablo constitutional powers in the premises, and that the exer- cise of them to the fullest Limit of his judg- ment will meet the approval of all con- cerned.’ Fifty Thousand Men Needed. When asked if the number he recommends to be called out, 50,000, was not rather high, he replied : “No, by no means; rather the reverse, It were better to place oven 500,000 men upon such cordon duty for one whole year and at any expense, than fto have 500,000 cases of the epidemic smuggled across the border through lack of eflicient protective measures, This 15 & real emergency, tho scourge is knocking at the Atiantic seaports and we are fighting it there, but we must be ready for the cases that will surely come in by the byways and the hedges by the score. The tide of Kussian Jew immigration 15 now heading Canadawards and they should be awnie to the situation. The regulsr army 18 too small to cope with this question, Now is the time to concentrate it. Let, there- fore, the president inaugurate this practicul ‘autumn manceuver atonce and resultant benefits will be seen before a month has transpired.” PROGRESS OF THE PLAGUE, Reports From Many Points Throughout Infected District—Sad Incidents, DON, Sept. 3.—The Berlin correspond- ont of the News suys: On an average twen- ty cases of cholera are tuken daily to the Moabit hospital in this city, but none of them bave disclosed the symptoms of the Asatic type of the disease, Sad stories of wisery resulting from the epidemic ave roported, In Hamburg a man who bad lost his whole family by eholera be- came greatly despondent and tried to commit suicide, and o servant attempted to drown herself after the death of heremployer from the malady, Deatbs from cholera are announced from Hanover, Pindesneim, Mugdeburg, Stral- sund and neighboring smailer towns. The pestilence has not vet appeared in Austria- Hungary, except along the Gulician trontier, where facts about the appearance of the dis- ease caunot be minutely ascertained. The directors of the Austriun state railways an- nounce that, commencing with September, none of their trains will cross the Germau froutier, and no Germun trans will be per- mitted to enter Austria, Columns of the Hamburg newspapers are aevoted to glowli:gly worded advertisements of cholera specifics, antigholeraic jams and biscuits and mineral water and otber nos- wrums, ‘ihe columns devoted to a list of the deaths of tho persons attacked by the ais ease contain many pathetic paragranhs. For instance, a fathér advortises for a foster- motuer for his child, whose mother died of the cholera. Others vainly ask for doctors, nurses and ambulances. The Hawmburg corresponaent of the Stan- dard says: *“The epidemic seems 10 bo again in the suburbs of this city.

MORE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN. Everything Possivle Helng Done to Keep Out the Plagae. Wasmixaroy, D.

The marine hospital ser- vice fs aware of vhe danger of tho disease gaining admission through Ceuada and will ! not relax its efforts to make the northern boundary as invulnerable as vigilance and care can mwako it, At the request of Dr. Wyman the Navy department turned the old vooden training ship, Jamestowa, now at Norfolk, over to the muin hospital service for duty as a ro- ceiving ship at the Caps Charles quarantine station. Dr. Wymun anticipates no action on the part of Dr. Jenkins that will in any way contlict with the circulur preseribing a twenty days quarantine. Dr.” Hamilton, surgeon genoral of the marine hospital service, and now in Chicago, hins been ordered by Dr. Wyman to Wash- ington for tamporary duty 1n connoction with the quarantine service, It is evident from the talk of offclals of the State department that they do uot con- template taking any action regarding tue complaints against Charles H. Burke, the vice counsut at Hamburg, who issued aclean bill of health to tho steamer Moravia. They do not believe that Mr. Burke is oulpably neglectful of duty, for, when he issued a clean bill of health to the steamer, the city authorities dia likewise. The ofMcials do not think that Mr. Burke can be expocted to have had better knowladge of the existonce of cholera than the authorities tuemselves.

Director Leech says that 1t would tuke eight years to do the work in the Philadelphia mint, which is the only one of the United States mints having a press for such work. “Wo canuou strike them off at tho rate of sixty a minute as we do coins,” said Mr. Loech. ‘‘Each one of them will have to be struck perhaps sixty times to bring up the design, ach time the medal must be taken out of its cellar, put in the anneaiing furnace and softened, put back in its cellar and struck in just the same spot.

Mr. Leech has received a number of lottors from women enclosing photographs of them- selves in the vain hope that their face may be used s models for the face of “Liberty,” if the figure of “Liberty” should be used on tha coins.
