About 4:30 this afternoon there was a small crowa of newspaper men, summer residents, bay men and others gathered around the end of the dock at tho pier, from which the little excursion boat “Typple,’ now the property of the state, put in between Fire island and mwain- land. In the middie of this throng was & handsome rig, in which four gentlemen were seated, The more prominent of these was the much ebused David Sammis, the late proprietor of the Surf hotel, Fire islaud, whose action 1n selling his property to the state of New York for quarantine purposes has aroused a maritime plot which bas been very much exaggerated. An Assoclated Press correspondent asked Mr. Sammis to make a statementof his viows of the whole affair and he said: 10 wholo matter hus been a tempest in nteapot. 1did whatany other man in my position wo 1d bave done. I was mudo u fair offer for my property and I uccepted it. That is all there 1s iu it. Some of tho men, excited by people who had litical measures to serve, became pressed more or less with the that the establishmant of a quarantino sta- tion at Iire island would injure their busi- ness, This is all bosh, aud they uow kuow that it is so Ana practically admit 1t The politieal leaders led them on for effect and ,the domonstration when tte Coplicus first at- tempted to land the Normaunia's passengers was the rosalt.

A number of newspaper cor- Tesponden!s also landed, some of them laugh- ing and joking over their experiences. 1t is said that when the steamboat Ty pple left for Fire 1sland on ber last trip, she carried nbout & dozen Bubyloniuns and others who were going to Fire island to spend the nicht and come vack hore in the worning.

[Now York Herald Ca- ble—Special to Trr Bre.~The Herald's ar- ticle on chiolera moculation has created quite astir. As I sat with Dr. Hoffkine today, Dr. Roux came in, bursting with excitement, si ing he haa beeu literally besieged by news paper men wanting to know the truth of your correspondent’s story, and the details, The mistake all made was in going to Dr. Koux, insteaa of to the Russian savant. Dr. Roux strongly resists any publicity, and morcover 18 oxceeding spare of words, Dr. Hoffkine is tho discoverer of the virus in conjunction with Dr. Pasteur. He is a clear, explicit speaker on the subject which he has made his own. He Is the bacteriologist who makes up the virus, attends to tho detaiis, examines the microbes, ete. Dr. Roux merely per. forms the operation, as it is necossary toat 1t should be done by a modical practioner. As/Dr. Roux has given his opiaions of the effieacy of the virus and the tests which tho Herald’s correspondent will make, it may bo more Intoresting to near Dr. HofTkine's opiu- fon. Ho says tho tests, 1if mdto in the wan- ner proposed by the correspondent, would be of immeuse scieatific value. Will Tackle th ague in Enrnest. Now it may be explained that the p:oposal made by the correspondent is to live as nea a5 possible in the midst of cholera patients, 10 eat with them, to sleep witn them, and many other tests, the details of which, out of respect to unscientific readers, it 15 best to leave unmencioned, as out of delicacy the correspondent left unmentioned in his report some of thosymptoms be experienced. It will suftice to say the 1dea is to breathe con- tinuously, and even eat, cholera microbes, to live with those contaminated with cnolera vaccine, ard to digest theso microbos, Lasked Dr. Hoffkine what he thought of tho schome. His reply was that such a test would be an immense moral victory if not a mathematicil one, but he firmly believes in the resistinz power of the virus. This coincidos with what M. Pastecr had said. Suppose tho correspondent dies—that will prove somothing? 1 asked. *Yes, a groat deal, but it will by ao means prove the failure of the vaccine; but it will show thatwe have not yot discovered the right quantity of virus for an injection, In that it will be of great use to sciouce.” “Suppose he took the pest mildiy?? *“I'aat also would be a very valuable proof, and if his notes were minutely and carefully Kkept thoy would be highly vaiuable. The would indicate to us how far this virus oculation sas. effective. We consider at presont three days long enough for the virus t0 do its work. That is another point which death would be useful in disproving.” “Aud if the correspondent survives?” *That would be a victory—u moral ove if the cerrespondent has the courage and op- portunity to carry out the tests he provoses.’ The Herald’s correspondent wos again in- oculated yesterday av hall past 12, Dr. R C. M. Page, the woll known New York physician, was ono of the most interested spectators of the cholera inooulation at the Pasteur institute today. The Herald’s arti cle bad brought him liko the rest. He suid: Endorses the Plan Warmly, discaso by attenuated “To stamp out the inoculation with is an all-important subject. Tae idea is not entrely new. Iun August, 1881, 1 first bad the honor of hearing the matter discussea by Dr. Pasteur at the inter- national medical congress in London. As o result of his puper there have been various attempts, but it begins to look as though Dy, Hoffsine would carry off the prizw. He prepares the virus with the utmost care in o manner that reduces all risks 10 a minimum. Tuers i1s vothing particular about the syringe orthe preparation of the dose to be injected which is not well under- stood by careful, well informed physicians. Tho fact that Dr. Pasteur approves this method after several years of observation would seem to place the matter beyond rea- souable doubt. Altogether I have great hope of the Hoffkino-Pastour method, and believe it will prove a great benefit to mankind." FORGOT means of virus JOY.
