ISLAND DTHER CASES ON HOFFMAN Proposition Teing Considered to Treansfer the « Bhips to Barracks on Sandy Houk —Secretury Foster's Plans assengers on the Hifated New Yonrk, Sept. 8,—The Normannia and Ttugia have noisted the yeilow flag again ana the same signal 15 flying from Hoffman island. indicating the discovery of additional cholera cases this morning, Up till yoster- day evening there had been thirty-one cases of sickness from the disoase and eight deaths in this port, Tho stokers on the Nor- manpnia this morning seem to be the greatest sufferers, [Eight of tho crew of that vessel wero traunsferred yesterday afternoon to Swinburn island, These men had only the day before been taken back to the ship after a twelve hours stay on Hoff- man island, whera they had been disinfected with all possiole thoroughnoss, along with 500 others. They wero taken back to the ship apparently in exceilent health. Tho doctors will not admitvpositively that theso eight patients have cholers, nor will they deny it. Secretary Fostor says Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Jenkins will inspect Sandy Hook tomor- row with & view to selecting a site for a camp of refuge for the coopad-up cabin pas- sengers of the steamships now detaned ut yuarantine. If the doctors find the @round satisfactory the secretary says the varracks wiil be in shape to receive the passengers by Friday nicht. The ieading railway will extend its tracks to the camp to facilitato the transportation of supphes. Tho secre- tary says & wealthy geutloman has offered to unaertake tho construction of the camp and meet all expense, takine his chances of ceuting his money back from parties liable therefor. Dr. Cyrus Edson, sanitary superintendent, has received this dispateh from Dr. Seibert, who is in Berlin on behalf of the New York Board of Health: “Berlin steams all arti- cles from Hemburg one hour. The highest opinton is that ail the rivers in northern Europo are infected, and new outbreiks a expected. The uew law will stop all Russian immigration passing quarantine, Month will be fusufiicient to stamp out the disease. fhe only eficient method for you in Amer- ica 1s to stesm important baggage or other articles for at least an hour. “They must be stonmed singly, or else immigration must be stopped. The' germs arc everywhere, No rori is safe. ‘The Borough board of health has been sent from Atlantic Highlavds to protest to Governor Abbett against the landing of the passengers of the infected ships at Sandy Heok. The Borough provided a day and night water and land patrol service to that end. ‘The death of a cholera patient was report- ed on Swinburue Island last night, 1 vestigation shows that no deatbs have oceurred in this city yet of asiatic chole Dr. Jonkins today accepted ns a cholern refuge for pussengers, He hopes to obtain permission to use Iire Island also, In addition the steamboat Stoninecon has been purchased by J. Pierre- pont Morgan for the cabin passengers of the detained steamers. A vaby on Swinburne island hus been added to the death rolt. MEX1CO ATTACKED, Cholera Invades One of Her Ports—An Appent from the Normannin, New York, Sept. 8.—It was rveported at the Maritime exchange that cholera had ap- peared in Mexico, A cablegram from Vera Cruz was received stating that four oflicers and four sailors of tho British steamship May were at thut port sizk aboard the vessel. The steamer had put into Vera Cruz in dis tress, Captain Smith, her commander, being seriously handicapped in bis work by the 1ll- ness of his ofiicers. The last previous report the Muritime exchango had of the May wus that sbe sailed from Mobile early last month for a Mexican port. The Mayis a tramp steamer and is owned in London, Sunitary Supevintendent Dr, Cyrus Fdson received the following cable from Hamburg from Dr. Scibert, who is studying cholera there: *Hamburg's methoos in handling chol- era are defective, The city, however, has a fino hosvital, which when full, accommodates 1,200 patiouts. At preseat therc are (00 empty beds. The suuation is exaggerated. The disease 1s on tha decrease.” ‘The quarantine commissioners took down tocay 100 suits of jeans to be used by the men immigrants during fumigation, alse, 100 mother hubuard wrappers to be uscd by the woumen. Diffoulty has been experienced in obtain- g the n ary telezeaph operators, Two bave now been obtain€d. and the third, who is necessars to completo the corps, 15 ex- pected to volunteer for service today., This done, cowplete returns from the istands will come in at short intervals for the informa- tion of the public. A large store of easo- Iize fou lighting the islands, brandy, claret, aicohol and other necossaries were taken cown this morning to quarantine by Com- missioner Allen, Letter from the rmannia, Tho foilowing letter, written oft the Nor- mannia on September 7, was received in this city today at the oftice. of tne Bvangelist from Rev.

Not ouly are new cases breuking out every day among the steerage vasseogers of the iil-fated Normanma and Rugia, the former of whom are on Hoffman island, but 11 has now scttied well among the crew of the big express steamer who are on board, It anvthing car be added to_the horror of the situation, it is the fact that the cabin passengers who have bLeen free from any sign of disease are Kept like rats in a trap, with the cholera raging alongside of them. “No ship to put them on,” “No g whero I can land thew,” says the he officer, while the agents, whose duty it is to seo the passengers cared for, say. nothing. Dr. Jenkins bus made strenuous exertions to obtam o place to pn the well passengers, but up to tho preseut bie has been unsuccess- ul. The government has refused.the use of Sandy Hook. Governor Flower has tuken no action on Dr. Jenkins’ request for possess sion of Eire island, und it Las besn 1inpossi- ble thus far to rent or buy a vessel. As regards the situation ut the quaranune, things are much worse, eleven fresh cases and four deaths being the day’s rvecord, though one of the deaths took place at a very late hour vesterday The upper bay looks far more empty than it has for u long time, La_ Bourgogue, the City of New York and the Elve having been released. At present the only vessels at upper quar- untiue are the Saratoga from Mexico ana Sa- vaunab, the Corean from Glasgow with immi- grants, the Wyoming from Liverpool, the German steamer Spreo from Iiromen, the Dubbledam which arrived late from Rotter- dam, and the Hamburger Stubbenhuk, s lower CANNOT USE THE LAND, War Department Ofiicials Will Not Allow vassengers to Laud at Sandy Hook, Wasmizatoy, D. €., Sept. 8. —General Graur, acting secretary of war, reccived a telegram from Secrclary Charles Foster, now in New York, suggesting that the War department allow Sandy Hook to be used as a place of retreat for the quarantired cabin passengers of tho Atlantic liners now in the lower biy. A similav request was also sent by Austin Corbin and by Ageut Boaz of the Hambure- American line, General Grant took the request imme- diutely underqconsidoration, buv will reach voconclusion today, Hostatéd, however, that it was improbable” that it wolld be granted, owing, for a reason, to tho fact that the gov ernment had important gun ranges on the Hoois,which would be greatly interfercd with by the prescnce of persous from the steamers, Unless tho situation becomes so critical thut 10 is regardud us absolutely necessary to land tne detajned passengors for botter protection against tho plague, it 1s hardly probable that tho land will be 'turned over to the healtn suthoritics, but 1nstead vessels will bs used 10 receive passengers from those ships having the disense aboard. Neglected thix Duty, Wasmixaroy, D, C., Seot, 8. tary of state today ordered the suspension from duty of James C. Keclloge, United States consul at Stettin, and assignedy the vice consul to the duties of the oftice. This action, it is said at tno department, grows out of the complaint of the health ofticers at New York on August9 that the consul was abson? from his post and that the inspection of vessels from tuat port was very lux. Con- sul General Bdwards of Berlin was directed 10 proceed to Stettin and wake a persoual in- vestigation ana a report was called for from the coosul.

Evidence of Police Experience Proves the Cholera to Be Decreasing, HAVE FEWER CASES AND FEWER DEATHS Record of the Service for Three Days Shows o Steady Falling OF-How the Public Reports Have Been Doctored of Late, [Copyrighted 1502 by James Gordon Bonnett.] Hasnura, Sept. 8.—[New York Herald Cavle—Spacial to Tur Bee,|—Most careful inquiries lead me to behave that the epiaemic is decreasing steadily, notwithstanding the high figures of the official statistics, It ap- pears that the number ot cases and deaths in the statistics are swelled by the addition of cases and deaths that occurred as long as three days provious to the day of publication. This 1s evidently teing done to make the official figures tally with the number of burials. Statistics of the number of cases and* bodies conveyed by the police illustrate ,the probable decrease. On September 5 there were 322 cases and 117 bodies; September 6, 224 cases, 102 bodies; September 7, 162 cascs, 92 bodies. These cases and deaths do not, of course, include all that occurred on the dates given, but they demonstrate the downward ten- dency of the epidemic. The statistical bureau reports for yesterday 055 new casos and 815 deaths, but of these 394 cases and 135 deaths occurred prior to yesterday. Tocomotives haye been placea on hand in a dozen parts of tho city for the free distri- bution of bolled water. Herr J. G, Closen writes to the news- papers stating that his wife was taken with cholera August 20 and wus removed to the hospital August 26, Notwithstanding the most careful inquiries he has not yet, up to yesterday, beeu able to obtuin any informa- tion as to whether his wife was ulive or dead, or even her whereabouts. Tnis throws & bad light on the Lospital organization anc partly justifies the popular feeling azainst the city government, which is growing in- tensely bitter.

He received a leuter yesterday from the managers of the pure food exhibit at New York, seeking to arrange for running the Ncbraska train in on their tracks at the expense of the pure food folks. A meeting was beld at 1 o'clock today and anotuer at night to perfect plans. The only question is as to whether or uot the New York people can raise the necesrary expenso money.

The commission has decided to mako a special effort to convince the peopla interested in agriculture that the state of Nebraska is parccularly adapted to the cul- ture of winter wheat. X'hat Nebraska 1s destined to rival Kansas as a wicter wheat stato is not for au insiaut coubted by all who have mado the subject a matter of especial study. Dr. George L. Miller's argument be- fore the commission vesterday afternoon was sufliciout to open the eyes of the mem- vers of that boay to the urgency of includimg a winter whoat cxhibit in the Nebraska dis- play, and the commission has already taken steps to make 1t one of the features of the show. Mr. A, B. Smth of the I, department filed with the secretary of the commission yesterday about filty letters that had been received from as mavy coin- ties in Nevraska in reply to a circolar sent out from tho general offices of that company. The cireular stated by way of introduction that in 1586 Nebraska had produced 106,00 040 busnels of cern: in 1891 her output ex ceeded 215,000,000 bushel In 1586 the wheat crop was 17,500,000 busnels and in 1501, 18,- 080,000 bushels, From these figures it ap- pedrs that while the cultivation of corn has increased in six_vears more than 100 per cent, tho production of wheat has remained about swationary. Will Make a Great Exhibit. Continuing, the circular states that the in- tention of Lhe commission 1s 10 have & nor- tion of the money appropriated for Ne- braska’s exnibit at the \World" fair set aside for the purpose of satisfy- ing visitors, whether from Nebraska or the east, that this state is not sunply a won- derful corn state, but one that can produce wheat equalling in quaiity and quantity that grown anywhors on the continent, Agents of the company were iustructed to confer with the representative farmers in their respective localities and collect datu the following points: The comparativ, merits of sowing and planting by drill; the feasibility of planting corn on the same ground in caso the winter wheat crop proves a failure; the results of winter wheat raising in the several purts of the stato; the valuo of tne product at the stations. Roplies were received from about fifty counties, Letters were also received from 1, I, Stephens of Crete, Prof. Iugersoll of the State university, and Prof. Bessey, also of the Stato universit Some Mr, B, I, Stephens of Creto gave his ex- perienco with winter wheat at length, and his obscrvations are entitled to the cousider- ation of every ugriculturist of the state, This season ho harvested 4,350 bushels of winter wheat from 100 acres, the ground baving been carefully measured before plant- ing. This was un average of 43'4 bushels peracre, Tho exponses of production, in- cluding § per acre for the use of the ground, amounted to §5.55 per acro, and h1s net profit was §11.45 per ucre.

Corbott went away first in triumph, as ho ought to have done, and the conquered gladi- ator followed. The crowd was still massed thickly against tho back of the reserved seats watching every movement of the bruised and sufferiig champion-that-was, whoso body was covered with zore, in the ring and who was too far gone to appreciate what bad happened. His backers and sec- ouds were a sorry lot as thoy gathered their goods and chattels in tho coruer and picked their way to the dressing room. 48 Sullivan started out Charley Johnson vroposed a chicer for him, but i was not the cheer that Corbett got. “‘Well, 1 don’t want too much,” said the defeated chawpion as he stumbled to the door of his room, *Corbett is now the greatest man iu the world and ke is the only one that coutd lick me.” Blubbered Like a Booby, When the little bodyguard got into the room, Sullivan threw himself on lounge and broke down entirely. His selfcontrol was gouo and in a moment he was blubbering liko u child. There wero willing attendants Ly s side, and thoy weut to work with 8 will to cheer up tho ex-champion, who was pitiable in the ruin of his hopes and the sud- den halt in his carcer. Iu a little while he was freshened up, but his spirits seemed to «o down n the propovtion of his recovery from the beating he recoived. His uppor lip was bruised and swollen to twice 1ts natural size, ,There wore blotehes of red, raw as meat, on his stomach, where Corbett had sent home that clever, vicious left, and the nose wns cut and bloody, It was a repulsive foce. The sueer avound the corner of the mouth had goune aud the countenance had lost its ferocity. “I did not feol him but once,” he biubbered, *“T'ie punishment did not burt me oarly in the fight, Tt was only in the last round that he troubled me. When he smashed me in the faco, then I felt as though I was falling backward from a bridge into water,and after that I don’t remember anything.” Sorey His Backoer Lost. And the spell of erying came on, I'm sorry you backed lost your money,” camo through his lips, It w wail of distress, and Johnson felt sad. Never wind, John,” he said, “I don't mind the money. Nobody can lick you but Corbett, and you are bettor than Mitehell, When ibe Englisaman wants to fleht you, my money is at hand.” A waiter brought refreshments and the champion of the past sipped u littlo brandy. It only loosoned his tongue and made him sob more. In & half.dazed style, with his great museulur arms hanging almost limp by lus side and his mouth open, n picture of misfortune, surely the sighi of Sullivan was me and cuough o' draw sympathy trom tho sharers of bis loss. 1twas astudy of fallen groat- s, MeAuliffe was sincere in his sympathy and he tried to comfort the champion. The cast— era lad had won his own creat ight and bis money was on Sullivau, But McAuliffe is & gambler und gulped down his grief. “Why, John, vou were beaten through vour own fault,” he said consolingly. *You ought never to have gone ou the stage. You can’t be an actor and fighter both. You have been strutting across the stazo doing fancy siugging and yow'vo lost your grip. It can's be helped.” Didn't Know What Struck Him, Then they talked about the fight. Every wan had his own view of it. Suilivan had a varicty of opinions. Oue moment he had whipped fairly and the next he had not. W hiile the fight was going on, and whon Sul- livan came 10 his corner blacding, MoAuliffe bad asked him how tie had cotten the cut. The wlove could not huve done it, they thoughit, but of course it was tho giove. “Why, vou've been dead four years, John, and you didn’t know 1L said ono of the party. Sullivan would not admt that, “No, I haven't,” ho said, and his voice was husky with emotion. *“lam all richt.

While it contin- uca President Noel came into the room, and then sent out for Dr. Seewun to examine the ex-king of fighters, T'ho Sullivan party remained late at the club, but a crowd hung at the doors until Sullivan ana his friends camoe out and took a carringe and went to the hotel, Sully 15 w Torrible Sight, It transpires that Sullivan, after his de- feat last night, began the undoing of all the careful work of traiving which he aud his 1rainers hove been doing for weeks past, De- feat and chaerin, coupled with the absence then of motive for furtnertrajuing, doubtles led the man to resume his convivials a bit, No wonder then tnat Sullivan draok.
