FREIGHTED WITH DISEASE AND DEATH Thirty-two of Her Passengers Died on the Voyage Across the Ocean, CHOLERA 1S AGAIN SEEKING ADMISSION Evrope's Discase Spot Trying to Dump Its Boourge Afflicted on Our Shores. PRESIDENT HARRISON ~ TAKES ACTION Wn Orders Part of Sandy Hook Set Aside Por the Reception of Passengers on Cholera Ships—Plague Notes. QuarANTINE, Sept. 10.—At 1 o'clock this morning Dr, Jenkins had been sleeping for over an hour and a half when the telegraph operator called him to deliver a messago from the long awaited Scandii, which was expocted in momentarily. Reporters nad been standing around waiting for him, hop- ing against hope to get news of tho safe arcival of the Scandia, which had left the plague stricken port of Ham- burg on August 27, loaded with 1,086 She had the enormous number of 051 steorage, twenty-soven cabin and soventy- seven members of her crew. Before she had been many days out the cholera had broken out, and before she arrived the pest was fairly raging on board of her, thirty-nine cases occurring in half a week. OF these thirty-two suceumbed before she arrived at She lower quarantine anchorage. Consigned to the Deep. One by one, by couples and by throos the bodies of the unfortunate victims were dropped overboard. Dr. Byron boarded all the vessels at mid- might. He found all well on board the Nor- mannia, the Rugia, Moravia and Wyoming, but when be reached the Scandia he found this torrible tale of disaster and trouble. Thirty-two deaths had of which twenty-nine wero in the steerage, hwo the and one in the enbin. There wero still soven virulent cases on board and these Dr. Byron removed to Swinburn island. The Scandia is the first ‘ressel to wrrive thoroughly infected with cholera. The Moravia, Rugia and Nor- mannia had broughs it in their steerages, and 1n the caso of toe latter it had worked Among the crow. Filleg, with the Pestilence. The Scandla has it from her bow to her torn, from “her ‘main deck to her kelson. Cabin passengers, crew and emigrants all bave it in their midst, and she will probably be the hardcst cholera importer to fight of the lot. As though tho Scaudia was not enough for ove night, another horror was added to the situnuion, Yesterdsy the Wyoming was the ouly one on the suspect list, Now, at 2 in the morning, she can be classed as a cholera ship. Mrs. Person, the mother of the two little children, Elias and Adeleide, who died yesterday of a suspicious disease, bas berself succumbed to the dread disease. She with three more were removed from the Wyoming during vhe late forenoon yesterday. They were placed in the hospital and Mrs. Person died duriug the night. The removal of the seven cases to Swin- ourn 1sland was successfully accomplished souls. taken place, in crew Loox Lake, N, Y. aent had a full day todsy. He drove with Mr, W. D. Phillips to Saranae, deliverea a speech there and returned in time for dinner. At Saranac tho president wus tho guest of L. W, Fisner, Atnoon he delivered an ad- dress to the people of the town, very briefly, an the public square. He thanked the people for the cordiality of his reception. He would not, he said, attempt to discuss public ques- tions or to say more to his hearers than that they could not escape the responsibility as American citizens, aad it was well worth the ‘while of each to think what contribution he can make to the peace and happiness of his neighborhood aud to the glory of this great nation. Before leaving this morning the president was advised that it was desirable to use a portion of the Sandy Hook reservation as a camp for delained” passongors of vessels quarantined in New York harbor, Later, on the receipt of telegrams from the secretaries of the nuvy aud treusury, he sent thi ToTHE ACTING SECRETARY OF WAR: In view of reprosentitions m ade by taries Poster und Tracy I desire thitasufficlent nortion of ho reservition atSandy Hook bo set apart for uso us u camp for quarantined steamship P Ssengers. BRNTANIN HARIISON, ‘The president advised tho secrotary of the treasury of this order, at the ssmwe time cau- tioning him as to the dificulty of msintain fug # proper quavantine of such a eamp if established, and also of a possible embar- rassment that might ariso from the removal of the passougers out of the jurisdiction of New York oficers. Both these questions must be left to the judgment of the officers on the ground and those who kaow the situa- tion, He also directed that notice be given all steamship companies that if they per- pisted in bringing immigrants from infected ports that it might rosult in thetr being de- nied entrancoe to our harbors MORE DISE AND D Further Ravages of the Ol Quarantined Vessols. QuaraNTINE, N. Y., Sevt. 10.—A message from Swinburne Islaud 4t 6:30 this morning reported ten more dead bodies and eleven move cases on board the Seandia. Since the hour of the above message no further detinite fuformation Lias beon received, but a report Dus it that still more deaths have occurred und further cholera cases have been discovered, This is the sad tale which reaches quarantive from the lower bay, where the Normannia, Moravis, Rugia, Wyoming, Wieland and Beandia now form the ghostly fleet enveloped 8 pal like s fog which prevents the watchers on the shore from waking out ‘whether or not the dreaded yellow fag is agalu thrown to the breeze. But there is a silver lining even to this dark cloud, for the helm, from Bremen, has passed Fie sland after hoistiog the happy flags, whi i denote “'all well on board.” There is no dou’ nowever, that the n :w addition to the cholera fleet has increased the gravity of affairs existing at quar- antine, and that the already over- taxed quarantine officers have more than they can well do in fighting the cholera off our coasts, But nobody has lost heart, and the belief that the scourge will be driven back 1s strengthened instead of weakened as the days go by and no cases of cholera appear in Now York. This feeling of seourity arisos irom tho fact that every day araws us nearcr to cold weather, and that the city is getting cloaner and cleaner every day, and that bealth fortitications are erected everywhore. The crew of the quarantine tugboat Fleteher, which was ordered this morning to transfer the passeugers of the Normannia and Rugia to the relief vessels Stonington and New Hampshire have refused to do duty with the tugboat on this service, and the henlth officer is now endeavoring to secure another crew. Dr. Jenkins has received a telegram from Dr. Byrom, in which the latter states he is fust back from the Scandia with two dead bodies and elevon cases. This is four addi- tional cases and two mors deaths over last uight's report. PEST'S VICTIMS, Names of the Thirty-Two People Who Diod on Plague Ship Seandia, QUARANTINE, Sept. 10.—Dr. Jonkins has just received a telegram from Dr. Byron on Swinbuarne island, eiving the names of the thirty-two peonle who died on the Scandia as follows: ge 0. 18 months, . 10 years. 5. £ JDEMER BRAUN, Augustil, 18 y A SCHAMBURG, September L 7, 32 years. 7 years. yeurs. The Complaints of the gors nre Entirely Yonrg, Sept. 10 lishes the following intery ins: When Dr. Jenkins dropped into an easy chair in his office and cousented to an inter- view, 1t was after9 o'clock last night. I asked him about the uppeal of the Norman- nia’s passengers to Governor Flower. He laughedvas 1 read the appeal aloud to him, paragraph by paragraph. “What nonsenss ' How ridiculous! That's & lie; were his emphatio comments us Le listened, and not one of the counts the least disturbed him, He said: * “In a general way, I will say that the gen- tlemen who have drawn up and signed this appeal—excellent people 1o doubt— are en- tirely mistaken in tneir assertions. They have not been neglected, we are not incom- petent and the situation on the Normannia is not at all what they declare it to be. You an sum the whole thing upin a nutshell by saying that these cabin passengers waut very much o get ushore and write accord- ingly.” “But, doctor, they make positive and de- tailed statements, for 1ostence, that the dead bodies of cholera naticnts have been left on the steamer for twenty-four hours or more.” “*And | make a positive statement that such 1s not the case. I have not known of u dead body being left for that length of time on the Normannia—have you Dr. Tal- Herald pub- W with De. Jeuk- 61, was the deputy officer’s prompt hoy say that the steamer has not been erly fumigated.” bat is silly. Why, we have done noth- g but fumigate and disinfect these steam- ers over since they arvived. Jtis truo that certain portions of this work ordered were lett to be carried out by the oficers of the steamer, We canuot be everywhero ut the same time, and the Normaunia peopie must not imagine that theirs is the ouly ship the bay. Possibly on one or two occasions thore has been a luck of disinfectants on the steamer, 1 bolieve that is a fact, but it is not my fault. We have issued instructions to send disinfectants to the ships in sufficient quantities. I cau't take the blume if they will not do whut I tell them.” *Do you mean that it is the business of the steamships to furnish disinfectants *I understand it so, but [ would add that in view of the importance of the matter I have myself repeatedly sent disinfectants on board. Dr. Walsen took enough bichloride of mercury to the Normannia the other day to disinfect a dozen steamers. Isn’t that so, doctort" ‘It certainly is,” said the New Brighton physician, who is acholera veteran, *I would say after a thorough visitation and inspec- tion of the Normannia that this complaint or appeal is absolutely without justitication." “Aud how absurd it is for them to pre- tend that they have not baen in communica- tion with a medical expert,” continued Dr. Jenkivs, *‘Dr. Sunborn, who has been a quarantine ofticial for years. has been aboard the Normannia several times & duy, and is now stationed there rormuncnuy day and night. Besides that, from tho fiest, full in- structions were given to the ship's'surgeon for any emergencies which might arise.”’ “How about tho water?” “I'he captain of the Normannia immediate- 1y on his arrival received positive orders to boil bis eatire supply of drinking water so that it might have been used with impuoity whether it came from the river Elbe or any- whoro else, Furthermore, the Hamburg _Ameriean company was ordered to send Tegular supply of water to their ships, In this respect ngatn they have, 1 believe, failed in their duty.” “Then you admit that the Normannia, and perhaps the other steamers also, may bave been insufiiciently supplicd with driaking water " “1t is quite possible, but it is the com- pany's fauly, not mine. 1 have felt the urgency of the matter so keenly that several times, although it 1 quite out of my jurisdic- tion, 1 bave sent supplies of water down to these steamers from my own reservoirs here on Staten island and in my own tug, the Mankattap,” NEW YORK' DAN opt on the Pest Fleet Condition. New Yous, Sept. 10.--Three steamers were released from quarautine this after- noow, the health officers hiving been con- vinced that no sickness occurred on tho ves- sels duriug Lhe voyage to this port snd a vigorous wedical exawmination on their ar- rival hore showing not the sligatest trace of the dreaded ciolera or any eholersio dis- order whatever, To rprenaer assurance doubly sure, however, each of these vessels Strict Wateh HBely ~The Clty Bealth officials still keep the “no | hud to uadergo a thorough course of fumigs- ebolera bere” signal flylng from | tion aud alseufsction, sud every porson on She lnand, woa g Keser Wil { Lourd wus DUl io such shape thav it was practicably impossible for them to convey sny contagion to this city. The first of these steamers to sail from quarautine was tho Brittanic of the White Star line, from Liverpool, which left the place she had occupied 1n the lower bay at 4 P. m. About an hour later the British steamer Joseoh John, Captain Miller, from the cholera infected vort of Hamburg, steamed toward the city, followed ten min- utes later by the Datch Steamer Zaadam, from Antwerp, which arrived at midnight last night. Mr. Boaz of tha Hamburg-American Steamship ., line savs that A number of the Normannia's passengers, who are physicians, were appointed by the other physiciaus as a committee to order waat was necessary 1n the way of food, to be brought aown from Now York. ‘The committee, Mr. Boaz says, ordered that the pissengers should bo placed ona plain and simple diet while they wera held aboard the steamer. Inmigration Agents Anxious, The immigration agents in this city whos business it is to forward now arrivals at this port to their various destinations, are much disturbed over the announcement maae by the lllicois State ‘Board of Health refusing admission to all immigrants 1to that state unless they bear cortificates from the health officials of the porv of New York that they are freo from disease ana that their baggage and belongings have been thorouzhly disin~ fected. Commissioner Farmer recently noti- fied Mr. T'homas Faulkner, the agent for the pool railroads, stativned on Ellis island, of this refusal. A consultation with Colonel Webber was the result. Yesterday Colonel Webbor wrote to Mr. Faulkner as to the practi- cability of issuing certificates of health to each emigrant leaving. The latter suggested that the Iilinois Board of Health does not clearly understand the status of thoe island and its heaith oficinls with regard to quarantine or the process which immigrants ana their baggage are subjected to by the quarantine officials. T'he (etter also explains that ail questions of contagious diseases aro decided at quarantine. Colonel Weber con- cludes by saying: “It is not possible for our surgeons to issue tho coartificates required according to the ciccular from tho Iilinois Board of Health, Th would not certify truthfully that the bazgage of the emigrsnts bad been thovoughly disinfected and con- tained uo disease germs, or that the immi- gradt bad no aiseass lurking in his system.’’ of 1 Board 1th Bulletin, ‘The board of hoalth issued the following bulletin at 4 o'clock this afternoon: “No cases of cholera in this ity today.

The North German Lloyd steamer Fulda, which sailed for Genoa and Gibraltar, carried fifty cabin passengers. The Cunard steamer Umbria, which loft for Liverpool, carried 100 cabin passengers. The Royal Nethorland's steamer Vicada carried but thirty-eight cabin passengers. The North German Lloyd steamor Eloe, for Bramea, carried no cabin passengers on her outward trip, Tue Erench liner La Bourgogae, which has been detained at quarantine, and woich was to have salled toaay, will leave tomor- row on her return to Havre. Canadian Spies in tho Clty, One of the most important and iaterestin g features of the quarantine agaiust cholera at this port developed when a reporter ascer- tained that since Monday last, two secret representatives of the Canadian government have been in tho city aud _have visited quar- antine stations daily for the purpose of keep- ing wie healtn ofiicers of thut government fully informed as to what was being done by the authorities here to prevent the cholera from entering this city. Upon the report of the sceret agents, it is smid, depends the question whether the Canadian gove rument will establish a complete rigid guarantine by water and rail against New York, I'he es- tablishment of such a quarantineagainst this city is of great interest to merchants, as the result would be a great loss to ull commer- cial interosts. It is impossible to learu whether the reports of the secret agents were favorable. Action by the Ch ber of Commerce. The medical advisory committee, whicn was requested by the special committes of the Chamber of Commerce to co operate with the health ofticevs at quarantine, met this afternoon at Columbus coliege. The result of the meeting was tue drafting of tho following 1etter: Do W. T. JEsKiNs: Dear Sir—This letter will be forwarded to you by the advisory com- mittec of physiclans appoirted by the com- wittee of the Chamber of Commerce.

Cholera s bad enough 1u the poorer and old quarters of the city, but the middle and upper class residents would not have known of the ex- istence of the epidemic except for the infor- mation gleaned through the newspapers, If the view that Hamburg is pest-polluied throughout its bounds could have been jus tified, the imporial board of health wouid have assented 1o the su ggestion of tho alarm- ists to isolate the city and i suburbs ana interdict all communica- tion with them, The micisters, how- ever, took special advice of Prof. Virchow, Prof. I{och and other authorities, and arcived at the conclusion that a rigorous system of surveillance would be sufticient protection. A large number of fugitive fam ilies feom Hamburg have now sought shelier tralsund, Rostock aud other places in cklenburg-Schwerin aud the disease is al- most unkuown among them. Many of these families have just reason to complain of the arvite and illegal measures taken by the petty local autnorities in trying to debar them from adwission to hotels and lodging Louses. T'he imperial board of health has sent instruction to the local authorities with aview Lo restraining the men from adopting immoderate measures. - Stand Taken by the Socialists, A debate of the Berlin mumcipal officers on the proposition to vote 800,000 marks for anti-cholera sanitatioa was the occasion for the development of their party programn by the socialists members, Dr. Zeadek declured that tewporary relief, such as the appropria- tion of 300,000 marks, however desirable 1t might bo, could not be held as permanent se- curity against an epigemic. If the prosent scave stunulated the energies of tho muni- cipal authorities tv apgtiorate the condition of the working classes with respect to food and houses, it wi be a blessing in dis- guise. The socilists contended that the sunitaty, Bmbiiance “ind hospital services ought tobe placed’ undor the control of the municipality, and that the poor ought not to be lefu to th mercy of occasional charity. Dr. Zeadek's remarks elicited strong oxpres- sions of both approval and dissent. Upon the whole the socialists scored a hit through the effect of their arguments upon the public outsido the council. Borlin 15 Not Alarmed. Count von Eulenburg, Prussian minister of the interior, to whom the municipal au- thorities appealed for permission to cremate the bodies of chiolera victims, has given his assent to the cremation of bodies when an autopsy absclutely proves that death 1e- sulted from cholera. Nota siugle case re quiring cremation has occurred here siuco the minister's assent was given. As a mat- ter of fact, Berlin is remavkably healthy, A sunitary commission 15 preparing a report showing that the city is free fror choleraic disorders and that the chances of cholera be- comiug epidemic hero arg very remote. Among the public here tbe scare has utteriy vanisned. Even the hotels have now ceased to reject guests from Hamburg. A panicisy feeling, however, continues to pre- vail in the rural districts. An fustance of this fecling is given at Alt-Ruppin, & town of Prussia, where a volunteer corps aas been organized to guard the approaches to the town and to keep strangers out until they have been subjected to a week’s quarantine, The town of Pine is similarly couditioned and has sbut itself off from all communica- tion with visitors, even from adjoining dis- tricts. Hamburg's Flnancial Loss, Business reports from Hamburg grow worse. Itis estimated that the financial and commercial losses tnere alreaay reach a tota of 200,000,000 marks. T'he aisclosures of tho terrible unsanitary state of the city and its suburbs have raised the question as to whether the Hamburg senate ought uot to be deprived of its ad- ministration of affairs and the Prussian gov- ernment assume control. Prince Bismarck’s people at Friedrichs. rube, who drew their supolies from Ham- burg, have been 1n a condition bordering on @ state of siege since the outbreak of the dis- ease in Hamburg, Ail counection with the city bas teen eut off agd supplies are now taken to them from I uplin. Visitors are not at present welcomed at Friedrichsruhe, Prince Bismarck showsgreat sympathy with the people of Hamburg, He daily recewves telegrams from friends in the eity giving de- tals as to the prograss of the epidemic, Be- sides subscribing to the public rolief funds he nas sent privately woney with which to purchase meaicines.

Rumors of the Evacuation of the Land of the Lotus Are Delusiy [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bonnett.) LoNDON, Sept. 10.—[New York Horald Cable—Special to Bee.|—In oficial circles the rumors of a speedy evacuation of Igypt by tho British are reccived with amusemont. 'he question has not even come under the consideration of the new ministry, and Lord Rosebery certainly will unot take upon himself the responsibility of deciding anything in the absence of Mr. Gladstone ‘and his colleagues. It is not a matter that can bo arranged in correspoudence between Hawarden castle and Downing street. More- over, Mr. Gladstone has never expressed himself in favor of the clearing out of Egypt suddenly or in haste. He admitted that the work of reorganizing the finances of the gov- ornment of that country cannot be broken off orleft where it is. Any immediate stcops, therefore, in the direction of withdrawing the troops are not to bs looked for, The neutralization of Egypt may again come up for discussion whea the cabinet meets, but it must be remembered when Mr. Gladstone was last 1n power, in August, 1582, that he instructed Lord Granvflle to write to Lord Dufferin, then the British repre- sentative at Constantinople, approving his informing the sultan that ihe neutralization of the suez canal was a “principle which the British government wonld never subscribe to.” He may bave changed his mind since then, but he has not said so. Therefore wo haveno reason to believe he has, Will Hang on to the Canal, The eanal must remaln open for the pas- sage of British war vessols under all oir cumstances. This has always been the position taken by England, and it 15 incom- patible with any schems of mneutralization. Itussia would object to Bugland’s using the canal for the transport of troops or tho ma- terials ot war in the event of hostilities breaking out in Indis. She1s not hkely to give way on this vital point, and it is a mere dream to suppose that Egypt can be neutral- ized by an understanding between rance and Great Britain to which Russia was no party. We do not ever. seo it proposed in the F'rench journals that the sultan should be cousulted as to the creation of an “African Belgium,” and yet leave him out of the ac count altogether. It is utterly impossible for theso reasons to anticipate that Eng- land will begin at once sny important move in Egyot. 1t Is sheer delusion 1am giving the substanze of the views b in the highest ofticial circles, and you may rely on their accuracy. Mr. Gladstone remains at Hawarden as quictly as the cows will permit, hemmering out his home rule bill and oblivious of Egyptand foroign af- fairs generally, 7The usual red dispatch boxes go round from the foreign office and back again, but they contain nothiug of any interest or moment. Lord Roseberry re- mains in or near London, having an inter- view with foreign ambassudors and mini ters, chiefly formal and complimentary in their nature. Aotual business is practically suspended sor tho remainder of the holiday season, not & single minister with the ex- veption given, belug at his post.

The official complaint has been made to Chairman Vining, Such stories are not uncommon just now and are probadly due in a great measure to the gen- cral nervousness existing o regard to tra continental rates, Interosted poople are waiting anxiously for the noxt move on the part of the Great Northern, now that the road has been de- feuted in its attompt to cut commodity rates from San Fraucisco by the rofusal of its Pacific connections to recognize 1ts redue- tions, but it is fully expocted to create trouble elsewhere. ln the meantimo the sweeping reduction in all classes of freight rates inaugurated by the Canadian Pacific from Boston to . St. Paul is regarded as a sigual for tho coneral breaking down of westbound tariffs to the Pacific const. All the passener ofticlals of the Atchison are here and bave been in confarence for two days. ‘Therois reason to believe that they havo practically agreed upon a vlam which will either bring the other roads to terms or precipitate a war that will bo far reaching in its effects, 1t is claimed that competing lines aro ting the rate from 4 to 10 per cent over their own counters in San Fraucisco aad Los Angeles. and if tho de- moralizing methods aro not promptly discon- tinued, it 1s the intention of tho Atchison to make un open reduction of $10 or $15 per ticket between California and Cuicago. Aud this will be only the beginning. Chai an Caldwell of the Wostern Pas- senger ussociation has requested tho Travs- missouri association to adopt tho same ur- rangements concerning return portions of Knights Tomplar tickets coming through lower Missouri gateways in regard to their colloctions west of the river and the issuance of the continuous bvassage train ticket in their stead, as have been adopted by the roads carrving passengors through the Omaha gateway. Tne object 1s to provent the stocking of tho markots at the lower gateways with the roturn portions of theso tickets, Tariff rates aro to be restovod Sop- whilo these coupons are good until October 11. Tagship, o5, D. (%, Sept. 10.—Admiral instructed this afternoon by Secrevary Tracy to sail in his fagship, the Chicago, at daylight tomorrow for La Guayra, Vonezuela, to look after American in- terests in that country. Tho Chicago is sent only as a precautionary measura to assist the Covcord and Kearsarge, which ara now due at Lia Guayra. in cuse of an_emergency. Adwmiral Walker, it is believed, bas been directed to pursue a vigorous course in deal- ng with tho situation especially in conuec- tion with foreign aggression, und to protect Amorican lives and proporty shonld it be recessary. It is understood that the Chicago will proceed direct to La Guayra and that sho will go with all possivle haite. e Wostern Pensions, Wasmiyaroy, D.

Berlineso wera prompt euough in finding funds for Bushoff, when that interesting butcher was acquitted by the Cloves tribu- nai.

They were not shocked when they were bid by their polico to treat cholera victims Iike levers, and wo know in most houses in the city one can vead the uotice: *No beggars allowed here.”” Perhaps they would be more openhanded if the pestilence really were in Berlin and not in Hamburg. Although there seems no danger of their having to copo with a bad outbreak, yot cholera has an odd way of doceiving one. We are not sufe vet, though the scourge so far has sparred us. Berlin's Arrangements Consid n stand tho test if it had to face an epidemic. The streof here are clean. Tho houses look —clean. The polica are admirably drilled, and Berlin doctors are famous. But in the poorer quarters, in the Verstadter and many older streots, liko Grunerweg, thero 18 much misery, much squaler and much dgrt, which would all help to spread tho disease, Nor am I sure that the arrangements at the cholern hospitals are quita as perfect as wo faney. The other day a servant feli in a house in Cuoavlottonburg, An uppeal for an ambu- lance was sent to the Moabit hospital. The answer sent back was No vehicles avatlabl here, bot meaus of transport may be found with Mr. So and S5"'—a milkman being named, The milkman, it app2ars, rents two sides of o courtyard. In a stable inside he koeps his cholera carts. In another stable his milk carts, He might, of course, ba caseful not to mix milk and cholera, but on the other hand he might not be so careful. If this is how things stand now, when thero is no strain put on the authorities, what would oceur in the eyent of a panict Moauwhile much virtuous wrath is ex- pressed at the gross carelessness and biun- ders of the Hamburgers, When Dr. Koch was sent to Hamburg lately his fivst visit was to the headquarters os the medical commission, He was received at 9 a. m. by a charwoman, whom he asked whether Dr. Kraus wus visible, *“T'he herr doctor never comes here ull 11," said the charwoman. He live at Reinbeck.” “Are no other members of the commission here?” askea Dr. Koch, O, thoy don’t come till 9:30," auswer, On further Inquiry he found that the men to whom the inhabitants look for protection nst cholera wero in the habit of settling: downto work at 11 and adjourning at 2, But many things are strange in Hamburg. It is some comfort to reflect that Dr, Kraus, who was the head of the commission, has been sent about his business. As aunounced a aay or two ago Kmporor William bas postponed his trip to Hamburg, where he was Lo have visited the Empross froderick. A great doal may depend upon this visit. It may lead 1n tho first place t> the re-establishment of kindly intercourss between the sovereign and his lady mother, from whom he has so long been estranged, and in the next placo it may prepare the way for an eleventh-hour effort to bring about a reconciliation with Prince Bismurck by the Empress Frederick, who long since maoe ner peace with Prince Bismavck, She strongly counsels the cessation of strife be- tweeu the court and the ex-chancellor. The emperor seems, or rather lately seomed in- clined to act on her advices, but Count Ca- privi, of course, opposod piace. He knows what that might mean to himself. 1 have reason to believe that, though tha emperor was & trifle taken back when he heard that Count Herbort Bismarck was to visit Hamburg, he was not nearly incensed cnough at the idea to please tho chancellor, 1 am assured his majosty’s consent was asked before the count was invited to Hamburg, and granted, But the mere disclosure of these facts may change the upperisl mind, for, like Fope 120 and other great men, tho omperor had to have his course mapped out.
