THE OMAH " OMAHA, TUESDAY MORNING, FIGHTING FOR FIRE lsmni Parsengors of the Normannia Not Allowed to Land in ‘he New Refuge. BABYLONIANS FRE;ZE—D BY A BABY FEAR Alleged Men of Islip Refase a Refage to Their Countrymen and and Would Force Them Back to the Floating Pest House, Countrywomen Quanaxmise, 8. I, Sopt. 12.—This day will probably be looked on in future years as ono of the worst reproaches on American civilization that has ever occarred i Ameri- can nistory., Federal government on one side, state government on the other, both anxious to be the rescuing party, and in front the local authorities aud private people foroing the victims oack from their haven of refuge. The Normannia's cabin passengers, who had been for eight days confined to a cholera- stricken ship, were greeted on Saturday with the long hoped for relicf in the shape of the Stonington, to which vessel they wero transferred that ovening. For the first night for days they slent in peace and satisfaction. Oun Monday they were to go to Fire island,which,through Governor Flower bad been secured with all its hovses and the Surf hotel for the accom- modation of tho first and second cabin pas- sengers. On Saturday they slept on tho Stonington, but in the mormng it was dis- coverod she had no means for cooking, was 00 deep in draught to cross the bar, and, ac- coraing to statements made, 100 unsea- worlhy to ven’ure so far iu the open ocea Theiron stenmboat, Cepheus, was then hired and the firsyand second class cabin passen— gera started for tho promised land. The weather was rough and many wero seasick. After o voyage of about thirty-six miles the captain weakeued and said he was afraid to take the Cephous over the bar without & pilot, In consequence of this the fron steamboat started back to the Horseshoe bend and the first class passengers wera otce more put on bonrd the rickety old Stonington liner. The second cabin passengers were kept on board the Cepueus without a bed or even a pillow on which to lny their hosd. They were strewn about the settees and carpeted decks of the steamer. rly this morning the captain of the phous discovered that he reguired coal nd water and conla novget to kire island without them. He calmly steamed up to the quarantine jetty and made fast alongside and sent word shortly atter 4 to wake tho health officer up. After aburried conferenc® with Dr. Furguson and Mr. Wall, Dr. Jenkins decided to water and coal her at his own dock. This was done and av about 10 o'clock thoe Cepheus ouce more started down the bay to cravark the ealcon passengers and take them to Fire island. The trip was again & rough one, but there was more than tne ele- ments to be met. d Governor Kiower bad been congratulated on his gonerosity in advancing the $30,000 deposit necessary to ovtain the property, whose vajue had advanced from $150,000 to 210,000 since the cool season had set ln. All scemed plain salling. A storm had boen brewing, however, around Babylon aud Islip since the first rumor of Iive islana veing turnea into o quarantine station bad been beara, The Babyloninns and their near neighbors eared not for the sufferings of toeir fellow countrymen ana_ womes they did not care 1if they died of cholera, “starved or were drowned, all they thovght of in their craven hearts was the the totally improvbable proposition of their being attacked by the pestilonce, owing to the propinquity of a uumbver of ladics, gentlemen and children, who never had chol- era in their midst, who bad Lived for a fort- pight on board a plague-stricken ship with- out being touched and who were returning to their own homes, These people not only in- voked the arm of the law but bad sent an srmed mob 100 stroug to drive them back to the cholera ship. Tbe governor begzed and fmplored. Dr. Jenkins prayed that tue pas- sengers be allowed to land. Telegram after telegram was flashed over tho wire ing the men of Islip and those of Baby that they ran no risks. They were obdurate. They would not give in and the passengers of the Normannia are now, this Monday night, lyiogin the inlet by #'ire island. The passengers appointed a committee with Sep- ator McPherson as chairman to coufer with the mob. The latter refused to withdraw the iujunction, and so far tonight, at least, they can claim the victory. a victory gained over 471 belpless women and children and equally unoffending husbands, BRUTAL BAYME BEAT THEW BACK. Fire Islanders | 1 Fear Prevent pannin Pass iug. Fine Isuaxp, N. Y., Sept. 12, 5 p. m.— Taere have been exciting scenes here this afternoon and up to the present hour, owing to demonstrations by 800 to 40) baymen and others, led by Supervisor A. W. Young and ex-Surpervisor John H. Vail of Islip town, *who took possession of the docks armad yith b shotguns, vars and other Weapous and twice resisted all attempts made to land pussen- gers from the Cepheus. At this hour the Cophbeus is anchored about 200 fect from the dock. As the Cephous ran alongside the dock the first time 100 voices shouted: ** You can't land here; go back to New York. Others shouted threats of throwing them overboard if they stepped from the vdssel outo the dock. A hawser was thrown to a post, to be immediately thrown back. Five policemen oo tho Cepheus climbea to tho gunwaleand yiotioned as though to draw re- volvess, but went no furtber. C. L. Wall, whomn Governor Flower au- thorized to take charge of the hotel here, who was also aboard the Copheus, asked the mob to listen to him, and then said: *1 represent the state of New York aud am suthorized to laud here and assume charge.” “Tno crowd shouted: “Show Us your au- thority 116 thereupon produced a paper which he began to read, but could not make himself beard. Many passcngers, mostly women, appealed to the crowd to allow them to lanc but the answers that came were derisive shouts. Lawyer Reid and Supervisor Young in- formed those aboard the steamboat that Jus- tice Buruard bad granted injunction re- siraining them from landing. Recognize no Authority but Themselves. The Cepheus was then backed out and turned. Wrile turning Dr. Voignt secured & row boat ta tuke him to the steamer avd he pad gone half way when the men rowiog re- fused to go farther and turned back. He made Lwo other unsuccessful attempts Lo reach the steamer, "The Cepheus again ran alongside the dock, but a sohd hine of de wed baymen re- poiled an attewpt to land. Mr. Wall again asserted his authority, but when he stated that the authority was from Dr Jeuklos, the Dealth ofticer, the crowd jeored and wisor Young shouted: **Wae dou't rec Dir. Jenkins or Governor Flower's authority here. % . o Lottie Colligs, who stood in the first row of the passengers that lined tho decks of the Cepbeus, .put out both hands and cried: “Soname, shame! Do you really call your- sclves Americans! Shame!” And as the steainer again backed from the docks the Euglisb actress kissoa Lher haud snd smiled After the Coplieus was anchored & boat was lowered and U. L. Wall and Captain Trip- ple were rowed iu itto the dock, but were not allowed to step ashore. M. Wall said that he desired to confer with the committee, whoreupon several persons shouted: “'Super- visor Youn, . “Then lof me ashore and Supervisor Young and 1 will talk this mater ovor,” said Mr. ‘Wall A score of volces answeres “No, O, YOu 0D uot come Ashore bere: go back toNew York.” Mr. Wall replied: resent the state of New ork. your authority, then,” responded the vrowd. Mr. Wall thereupon took u paper out of his pocket ana road from it as follows: “To whom It may cono: L Wallis authorized to take ehar urt hotel neers.

Everybody 1s well, and 1 appeal to you iu ehaif of the American woman and chil- dren, to allow theso people to land,’ said Mr. Wail. ‘“We think of our own women and chil- dren first, and iutend to protect them at all hazards,” reolied the supervisor. , While this conversation was going ou Dr. Voight appeared on the asck and_began teil- ing Mr. \Wall that he had charge there, when bavmen crowded around him, shont- “Parow him into the water,” “Drown and would have probabiy carried out their threats but for reportoes, The boat re- turned to the Cepheus, whero the dejected spirits were being Kept up by band music, the band plaving “The Star Spangled Ban- ner,” “God Save the Queen” and “‘Yaukes Doodle.” he boat eame off again, however, and Mr. Wall asked to bave provisions sent avoard the Cepheus. Some in the crowd shouted: *All right; let her have all the provisions they want.”) But the greater number an- swered: ‘‘No, no; give them noothing, Let them wo back to New York." Dr. Voight had just stated that he was in- formed Governor Flower bad telegraphed Saeriff A, B. Lina of Suffolk county to comd here with deputics ana keep the state proverty cloor of wtrudors and protect the Cophous’ passengers in lauding. Many threats were made of burning or cutting down the dock if the puassengers began to laud, and a numoer of men procured axes with which to cutaway sufficient of the aock near the hotel to provent persons reaching e lutter. I'he arrangements to insure the carrylng out of Goveraor Fiower's orders and pro- tecting the hotel have been lamentably in- adequate. If a force of tweaty or thirty policernen had been sent here by way of Babylon, they could have kept the mob oft the property and the passengers on tho Ce- pheus would by this time have been located in their rooms at the hotel. At 4:45 Lawyer Bugeno Fishel of Babylon, counsel to the Islip Board of Health, reach- ed here with a copy of the injunction grant- ed by Justice Baraard. His arvival was greoted with cheers from the crowd on the dock. Everviting is in_roadiness in the notel for the caro of tho 570 passengers on the Cepheus whenever thes are landed. A carload of provisious has just urrived from New York. Another Appeal Tried, As it was growing aark, a small boat came from the direction of the steamer. It was rowed by two policemen ana in_the stern st0od o gray-baired man, tobert M. Thomp- son. As the boat approachoa the lunding. the mob gathered threateningly. He said that the men on the stean dia not ask to lana. ‘The vouug women would remain if uecessary, but tho old womeun, some of them granamothers, and the children, suffering not for comfort but for decent care, should be allowed to land. They were to be re- turned to the steamer after a night's rest and one meal. Attoruey W. P. Re i answered that if the cantain of the steamer would come ushove the people to w! he spoke would consider tho request. Saying that he wouid attempt to bring the captain back with him, Mr. Thompson returned to the steamer. It was aavk, excopt for the light of the stars, when the boal was seen coming back to the lauding place. When tue boat bad almost touched the landing ® tall, spare figure was sven stauding in tha bow. = "It 1s Senator MePherson of New Jersev,” called out Mr. 'thomp stil 10 the stern, pator, MePherson Pieads in Vain, “Citizens,” said the scnator, “'the captain declines to ome astore. 1f_you will give mo rour injunction papers I° give you word of honor I will give them to him and he will accept them as lozally ssrved.” Attorney Reid replied that the captain must come ashore, 1 do not uuderstand you,” said the sen- ator, “'you upbear to hesitats over some legal question. aad your hasitation means unspeak- ablo suffering and probavly death to women and children.” The senator turned his faceup to the mob and 10 an impressive tone said: *1 appeal to you wen, in the name of God, notto bo longer led into heartless cruelty by this at- torney. Remember your own wives and children. Do not bring an everlastiug dis- grace on your names, 1e men,” The crowd stood there sullen and sieut, while the law, said: “Th ot land. If we permit them we will give away our cuse. 'Thoy cannot land.” “They canuot ented the mob. McPherson sauk down in the boat overcome. Mr. Thompson cried out: **You are being duped by a tricky lawyer.” “We are no more ricky thau you," an- swered Lawyer Reid, Refused Them Food and Blaykets, Mr. Thompson then said: *‘You will at least allow Dr. Voignt to send us food and blankets.” “Not uuless the captain comes ashore,” auswered the lawydr, and tho mob ap- plauded At o'clock & meeting of the hoard was held in the hotel oftice, where u resolution was passed that if Dr. Voight would go with Lawyer Keia to the steamsr and see that the injunction papers were served, the board would allow food and blankets to be taken aboard. Tho reporters took the following netition from the passengers to be telegraphed to Governor Flower: ON BoARD Orr Fire ISLAND.

NUMBER &7 AN DEBATE [FIELD AND BRY | Campaign in the First Congressional Dise triot Formally Opened, ISSUES OF THE DAY DISCUSSED What Nebraskn Owes to the Republican Party—Friends of the I Champion Disappointe i Remarks, tie Lixcovny, Neb,, fram to T ] —Tho congressional cam- paigu was opened in this city this evening by a joint discussion of the issues of the duy between Hon, Allen W. Field ana Hon, W, J. Bryan, revuolican and democratic candi~ dates for cougress, The event was marked by no blazing torches or marching bands, but the Lausing theater, in which the debate was held, was packed 10 ovarflowing by tho friends of Lotk candidates, Every seat in the vast auditorium was filled and every foot of standing roym was occupied, Promptly at 8 o'clock the spaakers appoared upoa the stago and were greeted with hearty applause. Hon, C. A. Atkinson introduced Judge Field, who openca the discussion. Juage Pield’s address was o sincere and mauly presep tation of tho 1ssues of the cam- vaign, He recountod the history, the pro- gress, the prosperity of Nebrasks, and pointed to the iufluence of republican logis tion upon the material development of tbo state, Ho glanced briefly at the hostility of the democratic party to the howestead law us proven by tho defeat of tho howestead bill four times by democratic votes and votoes. On tho Taril Question. Taking up the taviff question Judge Field then analyzed the tariff plank of the demo- cratie platform. He denounced it as a freo trade plank pure and simple, and refuted tho claim set up by the democrats that a pro- tective tariff was unconstitutional. While dwelling upon this point Judge Field alluded to the historical fact that the democratio Sent. 18.—~ pecial Tele= party had declared unconstitutional the homestend Iaw, the offorts to preserve the union, the reconstruction acts and the re. sumption of specio payments the promises made by democratic candidates two vears ago that the McKinley bill should be repealed and then pointed to the fact that after the people had tuken them av their wora the democrats could find no vuloorablo spot In the M Uil and the best they could do was to *tinker" with it a hittle. He recalled Field referred to Commissioner ort and backed it up by an extract m tho bau king commissioner of tho state of w York showing the rapid increase in savings bank deposits in that state in tho past two years and tho furthor fact that within tho past two years the number of depositors in the savings banks 1n_ the Em- state had increused_ by more than D00. Bryan's Friends Disappointed. After speaking an hour Judge Field way to Congressman Bryan, who was to snaak for an hour and fifteen minutes. It is 1o bo regretted, perhaps, that Mr. Bryan did not rise to the spiritof the occasion in a manner to show that he was sincere in his desire for a joint discussion of the issues for the campuign. Ho spoke with his usual bril- und fluency, but those who listened to eply” to Mekinley tivo weeks ago und heard uim again this eveniog recoenized a strikingsimilority between the two specchos. In other words; Mr. Bryan simbly redeliverod bis anti-tariff speech, He mado but o faint piateuse of repiyiug to the assertions of Judge fierd, Altor congratulatinz himself that his op- ponent had not challenged the record made by himself in congress he passed on & gen- erul denunciation of the principles of pro- tection. He made no defense of the declara- tion of his own party platform that the pro- tective turiff was unconsiitutional. He merely gluncea at Judze i's demonstra- tion that the price of cutlery hna decreased under tho operation of the McKiunley bill aud toth tatement that American manufactur- ers were now able to supply the home mal ket with cutlery for the first time in the history of the country he simply replied that if Ambarican manufacturers were able to pro- ducw all the goods needed by the American people and sell them cheaper than the for- cign goods could be sold, the country would have no means of raising a revenue, That Binding Twine Bill, He devoted a largo share of his specch to a defense of bis biil to place binding twine on the free list. e derided Commissioner Peck's report and said that no man of sense would believe it He udmitted tbat the Homestead strikes were not caused by the protective tariff, but tickled his friends in the address by asserting that the strike at tiomestend had caused vrotection to tremble from turret to foundation. He ndmitted that protection enabled the American manu- facturers to pay bigher wages but claimed that it did not compel therm 1o, Judge Fleld had been given fitteen min- ates in which 1o reply, but he hadn’t boen on his feet two minutes before he had the audi- ence wild with enthusiasm. So hearty anda 80 continued was the applause that he was compelled to request tho audience to listew to him in order that his time might not be oucroached upon. Brought Down the fdouse, To Mr. Bryan's assertion tnat the govern- meut had paid its soldiers in greenbacks and its hondholders in gold, Judge Field b t %::vu the no:a; by ropllylngh v.l[z!:[. repu ol ty had cared for the ?2.'4.,. ot D8 Gnien. by Iiboral pensions, and that, too, in the face of the Grover Cleveland, who had vetoed hundreds of peusion Referring to Bryaw's record, he asserted thut there was nothing n it wo eritcise or eomnsnd. To Bryan's assertion that woolen goods wero deaver by reason of the McKinley bill Judee Field read lotwers from A. M. Davis & Co.," Miller & Paine and Herpolsheimer & Jo., all prominent merchants of Lincoln, in which thoy asserted thet they were selling all grados of carpets and woolea goods cheaper than before the McKin- lev law went into efiect. To Mr. Bryan's assault ou the tn plate industry, in wiiich he told of the tallure of a singie mill 4t Anderson, Ind., Judge Feld showed that the great industry had develoved rapidly by veason of the McKiuley bill and quoted offi clal figures to prove it He proved that he was the mateh for the young congressman’s Jogic and earnestuess if not in eloguence and the use of specious arguiwent, and tho meeting closed with three cteers for Judge Field.
