BRINGING WITH HER THE DREAD PEST

Twenty-Two Person* Die of Cholera During tliu I'ttHHUgu of the Moravia—J'onrt That tho Tutat Gerinn May lluvo lluoii Scattered.

AT OL'lt VICHY DOOIIS.

New YOKK, Sept. 1.—The Asiatic cholera reached tho port of New York 011 board the steamship Moravia edneMlay. Twenty-two persons bound from Hamburg to America wero burled at sea during the voyage. Twenty of ttiese were children. They all died from Asiatic cholera, according to the health oflicors, though the ship's surgeon reported the disease as cholerine. There are now on the ship two persons convalescing from the disease.

The city is now threatened with tho pest and the authorities are thoroughly alarmed. Should tho plague break out afresh among the Moravia's passengers it will be almost impossible to prevent its spread, and the conditions in tlic city are such that the disease could not be checked.

Although it arrived Tuesday night the Moravia was not sent from the upper to lower quarantine with the yellow Hug Hying uutil almost noon Wednesday. The ship is now there, and, with its passengers, will not be released from tho eyes of the health authorities until every known menus is employed in stamping out the dreaded plague. IJr. Jenkins is hopeful that he will be able to keep the cholera away from the city of New York, lie is a very much worried man.

Ordered to Holl'man Island. Ilo has ordered the transfer of the Moravia's passengers to Hoffman island, and will not only make a personal examination of the disease as it is aboard tho ship, but he will also confer with the health authorities of this city aud consider ways and means to keep it from entering the city.

More vessels will arrive from Hamburg this week. It is probable that further deaths will be reported, and cases in thoir worst form, it is now conceded, may arrive within the next few days. The situation is serious. Unless all immigration from the infected ports is stopped it is not believed that this country is safe, and it is believed now that this step will be taken.

Ilnried at Sea.

August 18 the Moravia sailed. The following day tho cholera broke out and the iirst death took place within twenty-four hours. The disease spread rapidly among the ship's 2S0 steerage passengers. There were no cabin passengers. The children suffered most, and by August 20 tho number of deaths had readied the total of twenty-two. Of these two were adults and twenty children. They suffered much pain and their symptoms were those which are peculiar to oholera. Tho death list was made up of thirteen natives of l'oland, three natives of Hesse, one native of Austria and five of Prussia. They were all buried at sea.

Dilatory Quarantine Ofllnorn. Although tho Moravia arrived at 10 p. m. Tuesday, she was not boarded by nny of the quarantine oilicers until after 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. After making tho discoveries mentioned above the vessel, in obedience to orders, steamed for the lower bay, and is new anchored in Gravcst-nd bay, between Fort Hamilton and Norton's point, about 200 yards east of the main channel Slits is out of the way of passing vessels. She will be indefinitely detained. The passengers and crew, even to the cabin boy, will be landed on Hoffman island, livery rag of clothing will be disinfected and every person bathed. When the ship is cleaned she will be disinfected and tho passengers then put aboard and detuined there for an indefinite time, being obliged to land on the island daily for inspection and baths.

Why Didn't Ho Turn Hack? A phase of the case of the Moravia which deserves investigation, and which should be looked into with thoroughness, Is the action of the captain of the Moravia in continuing tho voyago to this country under the conditions which prevailed on his ship. If tho discn.-ic broke out on the day following his departure from Hamburg, why did he not, those connected with tho quarantine department ask, turn back home instead of bringing tho disease to a new country?

Aotlon of tlio Health Hoard. President Wilson, of tho health board, remarked that he was not surprised that cholera had arrived and that the city officials were prepared to fight it. The island to which the patients will be sent has not been made public, although agreed upon by the health board. As to the danger of the infection of the Croton water ho said that the nuisance along the watershed had been abated as much as possible and the only tiling that could bo done now was to remove the houses along tho banks of the river, but as thero were 25,000 of them he did not think the schome practicable.

Churacter of Cholcriiic.

Cholerine is thus described: Thero are ccrtaiu premonitory .symptoms, called by soma authorities the first stago of tho disoaBC, to which the name of cholerine has been given. These consist of a general feeling of uneasiness, weakness, nausea and diarrhea, and sometimes vomiting the dejections at first, though frequent, aro natural. Cholerine is usually caused by eating over-ripo fruit, and while It may develop into Asiatic cholcra It is not always a necessary precursor of that dread disease. The quality of unsound food or rotten cheese which must be taken into the system to procure cliolcrine mm.t be large. It differs from cholcra proper in this, as a single germ of the Asiatic

plaguo introduced into the intestines takes a rapid course, and the whole mucous membrane in tho course of a couple of dayB is eaten away. (leuulue AKlatlc Cholera.

I)r. Jenkins said the discharge of tho patients had all the characteristics of Asiatic cholera, and that he knew of no other disease which had these characteristics. This statement was pretty conclusive evidence that Dr. Jenkins believes the ilisease to be genuine cholera, but he did not wish to say so in as many words.

Heign of Terror In Hamburg:. 11amiii.'lto, Sept. 1.—There is no questioning the fact that the present cholera epidemic is the worst that lias ever visited this city aud every hour the situation becomes worse. The people aro dying off like sheep and the plague is spreading. A fearful feeling of apprehension hangs over the whole city aud the belief that the doctors are. helpless to fight the scourge grows in strength. The people feel that tliey are helpless in the face of the terrible visitation that has conic on them, and many of them have given up hope of escaping the disease. This in itself is a calamity. for coinage is one of the essential factors in lighting the epidemic.

Cannot Hurj- tint Head.

The representative of the Associated I'ress here has seen in the military drill-shed the bodies of 400 victims awaiting burial. During the twentyfour hours ended at midnight Tuesday night the ambulance conveyed to the hospitals rOS patients. Of this number 2(ls have since died. Owing to redtape it is impossible to bury all the deail under the usual regulations, for the law requires the production of papers of identification before the body is consigned to the grave. Under ordinary circumstances these papers are easily procurable, but now when whole families have been carried off bv the scourge, the greatest difficulty is experienced in getting the papers. Unless the frightful mortality abates it will be necessary to shortly set aside the law anil bury the victims as hastily as possible. Already it is believed that the infection lias been spread by the dead. homo Heroes Left.

A reign of terror prevails and every person who can possibly do so is fleeing from the city. An exception must be made, however, to this assertion. Those whose duty calls them to attend the sufferers, physicians and those who have nobly voluntereod their services, arc doing a work thai requires the extreme of heroism. Among the hospitals, everywhere where they can help, they take their lives in their hands without hopo of fame or reward and do their utmost to alleviate the awful suffering of the plague-stricken victims. In many parts of the uity the shops of grocers, bakers and butchers have been closed by tho police, the owners and their salesmen having been stricken down while attending to business. liEUMN", Sept. 1.—limperor William has abandoned his intention of visiting Sweden. lie has telegraphed King Oscar that he does not wish to be absent from home during the cholera epidemic.

Two Denthtf »ar London.

LONDON, Sept. 1.—The infection con tinues to spread slowly, but, it is foared, surely. Two deaths from Asiatic cholcra were reported Wednesday at Islington, a northern suburb of London. Tho clothing of tho victims and their bedding lias been burned. tien. 1'ratt, the American consul at Queenstown, has notilied the agents of transatlantic lines that passengers whose effects nre not thoroughly purified with sulphur will not be allowed to land in tho United States. The companies announce that all baggage will be subject to fumigation for six hours. The disinfecting process will be under the inspection of American officials.

OFF FOK THIS CAPITAL.

Jfisw YOKK, .Sept. 1.—Cholera brought President Harrison's visit to Whitelaw Ueid at Ophir farm to an abrupt termination, and lias .postponed indefinitely the president's proposed trip through the state on his return to Loon Lake. Mr. Harrison was first informed of the arrival of the Moravia at quarantine with c'wlera aboard by Air. Kcid at 4 o'clock. He expressed the deepest coi.ce.rn, and at once began to consider plans for some action toward restricting immigration during the continuance of the plague abroad. It was not until 7 o'clock that he arrived at a decision. In the meantime he had received from Secretary of Treasury of Foster official notifi cation of the arrival of tho scourge, and from Attorney General Miller dispatch slating "that ho would during the night look up the question of the president's powers in a crisis of this kind, there being some doubt as to whether the president is authorized to prohibit immigration by proclamation simply or whether lie must apply to congress.

Decline* to Discus* rrolmbln Action. President Harrison arrived at the Pennsylvania depot at Jersey City at 11: IM p. in. The president was asked if lie would say what he intended doing when he readied Washington. His reply was concise and to the point: "I can say nothing at present."

When.asked when he would return he replied: "1 shall return within two or three days."

The president, accompanied by his party, then entered the Pullman ear Niinrod, which was attached to the train leaving Jersey City at 12::i0. Chairman Carter when asked if lie was going to Washington replied: "No, I am not."

Postponed for a Time.

At 7*:JO Wednesday night Chairman Hackctt, of tho republican exccutivo committee, issued the following bulletin: "I am compelled to announce the postponement of the president1*) proposed special trufn from here to Lroan Lake on account of tho reported cases of disease at quurantine, the president linvini? Informed the committee that ho feels It hto duty beyond question to bo in Washington. to which ulty lie ffooH Immediately, but At later dale on his return from Washington he will carry out the programme proposed lor this week."

Duty Calls Hlin.

The president sent tho following message to Warner Miller at Utica: **The alarm ahout and danger of Introduction of cholcra linn made It necessary that 1 should abandon for the present my trip to the north and GO to Washington to be sure that no othclal precaution is omitted to protect our people upainst the threatened scourge. Will make the eontemphilcd trip atalutcrdatc to be named. Sorry to miss seeing you. "URNJAMTN IlAICItZSON."

A Special SCAHIOII Not Necesttary. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—President Harrison is coining back to Washington to consult his cabinet about issuing a cholera proclamation. An extra session of congress is not one of the probabilities. There are only three members of the cabinet now in the city— Secretary Charles Foster, Secretary lilkins and Attorney General Miller. They have 110 idea that an extra session will bo called. As one of them said Wednesday night: '•An extra nosslon of oongrcss to legislate against cholera would be more likely to cause a panic than anything else. It would scarc timid people, itnd this, the medical men say, always helps spread contagion. 1 jliinli it will be found that Ihe uationalanrt the utate governments, acting togethor, can accomplish as much as an exlra session of congress could, for I take it that the pn-pose of the extra session would he to pass a law uhsoln'i'ly prohibiting immigration.1

May IHMIC I'roclaiuatlon. The best informed members of the administration think that a proclamation may bo issued by President Harrison, but they are not certain he will think this necessary. However, scores of telegrams are received daily at the treasury and state departments, and also at tho white house, urging that this course be faken. The president could not prohibit immigration, as such, by proclamation, but lie could "warn vessels from chorcra-infected ports from undertaking to bring passengers to this country. Tho stoppage of immigration from infected districts would be a protection, though not un absolute prevention of cholcra. The benefit of such a proclamation would bo In the notice It would give to Europe that its infected population could not be unloaded In tho ports of this country. The Europeans would accept the president's proclamation as conclusive evidence that a national quarantine had been established. Aud It is believed that tliq power of the president to issue such a proclamation can be found in the statutes.

Ample power exists in the federal government to keep out persons who arc likoly to bring in the dreaded cholera. Its policy is to cooperate with the. state governments, but where a state is negligent or iueflieient the federal government may step in. This is tho view taken by tho attorney general and other members of the administration. It has been made known since the discovery of cholera 011 the Hamburg vessel Moravia. The president cannot stop or turn back immigrants merely because tliey arc immigrants. As lias been truly said, he has no power to suspend tlic immigration as such. But lie has tlic power to lteop out all persons who may bo suspectcd as infectcd.

DEATH CI.AIMKLL HIM.

NEW YOKK, Sept 1.—George William Curtis died a few minutes after 2 o. m. Wednesday at his home in Livingston. S. I. He was conscious at the end and suffered no pain. At the time he was seated in his big easy chair with his son, Dr. F. G. Curtis, of West Newton, Mass., standing by his side. Death was painless. Mr. Curtis WHS conscious up to within a few minutes of the end. Then he sank into semi-unconsciousness. Justus he died he muttered something unintelligible, and his head fell over 011 his breast.

GEOHOE W. uriiTlS.

Mrs. Curtis and his only living daughter, Elizabeth, were in tiie house at the time, but Dr. Curtis did not summon them to the side of the dying man. lie said he believed ills father knew that he Was about, to die.

Hlft Ailment.

Mr. Curtis became ftl about two months ago. when he began to complain of pains in the abdomen. Dr. Janeway was called and he. in consultation with Dr. MelSurnov. of tins city: Dr. Walker, nf Stutcn Island, and Dr. Curtis, made a careful examination. There had been some talk of cancor of the stomach. These physicians announced that it was impossible to learn the exact nature of the trouble until it made further progress or tho swelling below the abdomen which had developed. subside 1. They were of opinion, however, that there was a tendenoy to dropsy with other complications not then determinable. At that time Mr. Curtis suffered a* great deal of pain, and spent much time in walking up and down Ills room. He was told that opium would give liim relief, but he declined to take the drug.

Could Not Be C'urcL

At the request of Mrs. Curtis It was decided early Inst week to adopt homeopathic treatment and Dr. Reisig was called. From that time Mr. Curtis suffered little or no pain, and during the last days ho seemed perfectly conifortuble. The swelling did not diminish, but his family were hopeful, being much encouragod by the cessation of the pain. His condition was not thought to be by any menus critical, but throe days ago he began to sink rapidly. Tho pain did not recur, however, and until the end he seemed able to recognize those at his bedsido.

The funeral services will be held on Friday morning at tho Curtis residence and tliey will be private.

Hketoh of Hid Career.

Gconre William Curtte was born at Providence, K. L, February 24, 1821. He received hltt education at a private uohool at Jamaica Plain, Mast*., and at tho age of 15 removed with IIIH father from Providence to New York, where for a year he was eleric in mercantile house. In Ittl'J he went with liifi elder brother to reside at Uroolt Farm in West Koxbury, Mass., where he passed a year and half In study and agricultural labor, afU whloh he went to Concord. Mass., and with bU brother npent eighteen months there, living \fkh a farmer, And both talcing part regularly in tho ordinary worh of the farm, and afterword for months tilling a small plec-e of land on their own account. Iu 184(1 Mr. Curtin went to Europe, and, after prolonged stay In Italy and Herlin, truvelod In Egypt and Hyria. In 18&0 be returned to tbo United States, and published hit booh: "Nile NOIOH of Howadji." He «OOD after joined the editorial Matt ul the New York Tribune, and !u the summer of 1851 wrote a Kcries or letters to that Journal from various watering places whieh wero afterward •olleeted In a volume under the title: "Lotus fating. His second book, however, was on "llowadjl in Syria," published .in 185!!. In the autumn of 18A2 Putnam's Monthly woe commenced ID New York, of whlcB Mr. Curtis wan one of the original editors, and with which he continued connected till tho mauazlnc ceased to exist. In the meantime it had passed Into the hands of the firm of Dlx, Edwards A Co., in whioh Mr. Curtis was a bpccial partner, pecuniarily roHpouHihle, but taking no part in It* commercial management. In the spring of 1857 the houje was found to be lu&olvont for a large amount, and Mr. Curtis sank his private fortune In the endeavor to save Its creditors from loss, which he finally-accomplished In 1673. Other book.s of Mr. Ourtls. besides those already mentioned, are "The Potlphar Papers ond "Pruc and I." Ho was connected with Harper's Monthly from 1853 until his death, aud was chief editor of Harper's Weekly. for which ho began to write in 1RT7. In these publication* he ha9 printed some of the most charming essay* iu the Kng* linh language. Mr. Curtis took an active interest in politics, and was a delegate to several of the natloual conventions of tho republican party. He left the party In 1884 on account of the nomination of Mr. Hlalne, and was at one time the recognised leader of tho mugwumps. He was president of the civil service reform league and an oloquent advocate of tbo reform to whloh it is devoted.
