RIOim.Y liUAUAN'TINED.

NBW onit, Sept. 2.—The steamship Moravia, which arrived from Hamburg on Tuesday night, having had, it is alleged, twenty-two deaths from cholera among her passengers during the trij, has been sent to tin- lower quarantine, 2 miles south of Swinburne island. She lay in tlraveserd bay Wednesday night, ami at daybreak hoisted the yellow flag, warning all vessels to give her a wide berth. No new cases of disease have broken out among lier passongers. Dr. Talmadge, after working among the vessels in the upper quarantine visited the Moravia. He was met by Capt. Shiele and the ship's doctor, and the three made a tour of the sliip. The two women who were attacked "rith the disease on the voyage here were found to be on the road to recovery. They are convalescing in an isolated part of the ship. The Moravia's passengers were all compelled to bathe during the afternoon. The steamer will remain below Swinburne island until the health ollicers are certain that all trace of the plague is removed from her. S.ViO'

Not Sure of the OlMulto.

Dr. Jenkins, before leaving quarantine to attend a meeting of the health board, saii he was not prepared to say that the disease on the Moravia was true Asiatic cholera. Until Dr. Byron's examination of the infected clothing was completed he said no one could say positively what the disease was. Dr. Jankins announced that he was going to have four special harbor police appointed to patrol the bay. with orders to shoot anyone attempting to board any of the quarantined vessels. "I am not prepared to say that the cases of so-called cholerino aboard the Moravia are cholera beyond a doubt," Dr. Jenkins said to a reporter. "Dr. Byron is now making a bacteriological examination of the bed-clothing taken from the two women who are convalescent, and until he reports I cannot absolutely pronounce tlio disease cholera."

All Make Good Reports.

All the big transatlantic steamships scheduled to arrived have been heard from, their reports have been received, and the announcement made by the health ollicers that these vessels arc all clef.n and their passengers in a healthy c.Jiidition.

No Bacteria Discovered.

A late bulletin from quarantine says: "Everything is very quiet at quarantine at present. Dr. Jenkins, with four other medical men, has gone down to Hoffman island with supplies. Dr. Jenkins reports that tlio examination of the Moravia's passengers resulted negatively, no bacteria being discovered."

Hud No Fresli Cases...

Dr. Jenkins' deputies said that in their belief the reason there were no fresh cases of cholera on the Moravia lies in the fact that her officers and crew have been condensing the Hamburg water for the last five days. They profess not to be alarmed over the possibility of another outbreak, but is noteworthy that early Wednesday night an attache of the department telegraphed for the expert nurse, Mintliorne Cornell. lie wired a reply to the effect that he could not respond, but wanted to know how long he would be needed. Ansv.er was sent that lie would be needed for a month, and up this time he lias not been lu-ard from. Steps were taken through the New York lieaitli department to seenrc additional nurses and this emphasizes the gravity of the situation. More cholera is expected to cither develop within the quarantine limits or arrive here in its active stage, hence the efforts to procure nurses.

The health officials do not expect any more eases of cholera to arrive here for a day or two. when the steamship Normannia is due from Southampton with 400 immigrants transferred from Hamburg to the hitter port. As these immigrants left Hamburg several days after the epidemic had broken out there is some danger of the disease having appeared among them.

Two Su.poct,.

Capt. Cross, of the Eldrcdge street station, reports that he was informed V- Dr. H. lleek, of 'J4 Riviugton street, that he attended a man named Elwaiuig, who lived on the fourth floor of 95 Orchard street, and that he found him manifesting symptoms of cholera. The man. he said, was a Russian and arrived on Sunday on the steamer Russia. The board of health was notified. A health officer visited the sick man and said the sickness was not cholera ami was not serious.

Dr. Reek was summoned to No. 142 Orchard street at 11 o'clock Thursday night on a similar case. The patient was Krauk Ilouzer, a German plumber, 27 years old. He is marriod and has two children. Uke Ettringer. lleuzer was taken suddenly ill and his V111F toms were exactly similar. Ihis ease, however, Dr. Beck said he ould not report to the board of

that he had never had any professional experience with cholera, but said he was in Austria during the epidemic 1878.

Dr. Talmadge, of Health Officer Jenkins'staff at quarantine, says in regard to the cholera contagion: "It cannot be too flUUnctly understood that cholera ennuot be taken through the air.

Will Stop Immitrrnlion.

When the copy of the circular of Surgeon -General Wyman. sent out by the Associated Press, was ported in the maritime exchange it caused a Herniation among the members. All the steamship agents at once sent for copies of it. It formed the chief topic for meditation and conversation during the rest of the day. All of them, however, submitted without a murmur to the conditions imposed and declared themselves anxious in every way to hold up the president's hands iu his efforts to keep cholera out of the country.

Tlio Mayor lavues Proclamation. Mayor Grant has issued a proclamation to the public asking all citizens to take extra precautions and promising the utmost vigilance on the part of the city authorities. Especial attention will be given to the (,'roton watershed to prevent all possibility of contagion in the city water supply. The greatest peril now is from ships expected in from one to ten days. Many of them left infected ports after the breaking out of the epidemic. Tliev carry hundreds of immigrants. y*tock» Took a Tumuli?#-

The cholera scare was the all-absorb-ing topic on Wall street, creating uneasiness in nearly all circles and causing sharp declines in stocks, bonds und all speculative futures.

Will Disinfect tlio Malls.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Measures have been taken to procure the thorough disinfection of incoming mails from infected ports. Telegrams have been sent, by directiou of Postmaster General Wanamaker, to the postmasters of Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, I'ort Huron. Suspension Bridge, Burlington, \'t., and all other important points on the Canadian frontier, directing them to consult with the local health officers and ascertain whether there is any necessity oxisting at present for the fumigation of Canadian mails crossing the border into the United States. It is said that no mails from any of the infected ports reach Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, or, in fact, any other American port direct, except Ncv York, where the utmost vigilance is being exercised. A telegram received from Postmaster Van Cott at New York state* that all mails coming from any port where contagion is suspected are now being thoroughly fumigated at quarantine

Many Death. In Ilnmlmrn.

liKr.i.i.N, Sept. 2.—According to the imperial board of health there were 490 new cases of the cholera on Wednesday and the deaths numbered 181. The imperial board of health also reports that on Tuesday there were 73 new cases and i51 deaths in Altona, 78 new cases and 31 deaths throughout Schles wig, 2 new cases and3deaths in Lucnc berg and 1 case in Charlottenburg, the last-named place being a suburb oi Berlin.

The city presents a most funereal appearance. There is scarcely a house in the streets along the water front from which several victims of the disease have not been taken. In some instances houses are entirely vacant. all their occupants being dead There is yet no resumption o: general business and so many of the shops nre closed that the streets look as though it were Sunday. Tlier is a .steady stream of vohicles convey ing the dead to the cemeteries. The greater part of the 400 bodies reported as lying unenred for in the drill-shed have been interred.

Great Mortality lu I!us«l»

ST. I'KTKBSBVRO, Sept. 2.—The oflieial cholera returns show that since the last report there have been 0,144 new cases and 2.741 deaths in Russia. 1 St. Petersburg Wednesday 155 newcases were reported. There were fifty one deuths from the disease. Up to August 22 the total number of deaths throughout the Russian empire is given at 107,047. but owing to the known in completeness of the official statistics the real number may safely be reck oned as high as 100,000.

Big Payment for I.If* Insurnnrr. ST. PAUL, Sept. 2.—J. J. Hill, presi dent of the Great Northern railway, on Wednesday gave his check on the l-'irst national bank of this city for $130,350 in full payment of an insurance policy in all eastern company of SI 00.000 on his life and an annuity of 812,FIOO, commencing ten years hence. This is the largest sum ever paid for a single life insurance policy in the history of the business.

'hursdav upon the hasty arrival of resident Harrison and his .summary cull for a conference to consider the best means of keeping out the disease. It was determined to proclaim a twen-ty-day quarantine against all vessels •urrying immigrants coming to this country from any foreign poll, and the following circular was issued by the direction of the president:

Th® Circular.

"Quarantine restrictions upon immigration to aid in the prevention of the introduction of cholera into the United Stutos: "Treasury Department, Ofllce of the Supervising Surgeon (Jenoral, United States MarinoHosnltal Sorvieo, Washington, Srpt 1, 1WJ.— To collectors of customs, medical oflleers of the niiirine-hospStal service, foreign steamship companies, stale and local boards of health: having been officially declared that cholera prevailing in various portions of Ilussia, Germany aud France aud at certain ports in fireat Uritain. as well us in Asia: and it having been made to appear that immigrants in large numbers are coming into the United Slates from the infected districts aforesaid, and that they aud their personal effects are liable to introduce cholera into the United States, and that vessels conveying them are thereby a direct menace to the public health: and it having been further shown that uuder the laws of the several states quarantine detentions may be imposed upon these vessels a sufficient length of lime to insure against the introduction of contagious diseases, it is hereby ordered that no vessel from any foreign port carrying immigrants shull be admitted to enter at any port of the United States until said vessels shall have undergone a quarantine detention of twenty days (unless such detention is forbidden by the laws of the state or the regulations made thereunder) and of such greater number of days as may be Uxed in each special case by the stale authorities.

Marine' Hospital Service. "CIIAKI.KS FUSTI:H, Secretary Treasury. "Approved: HHN.IA.MIN HAIUIISON."

Held a Hurried Conference. President Harrison dnringf his stay at Loon Lake had been in constant communication with the heads of departments in Washington and had been kept fully informed of the situation regarding the. threatened invasion of cholera. These communications followed him to Ophir farm, the residence of Hon. Whitelaw Keid, and Wednesday when it became known to him of the arrival in the port of New York of the first actually infected vessel to reach these shores he concluded that the time for action had arrived. He immediately determined to come to Washington for a conference with the oflieials, and he reached this city at a little before 9 o'clock Thursday morning. Within two hours he was met at the white house in response to Ids hasty summons by his legal adviser,

Attorney General Miller Secretary Foster, of tile treasury department: Assistant Secretary Spalding and Supervising Surgeon General Wyman, of the marine hospital service.

I.ftultod l'mver of (he J'rosldont* The latest reports were laid before the president and the question of combating the disease was at once entered into. It was suggested that the most effective way would be the issuance of an order for the absolute suspension of immigration until the epidemic died out. The question then arose as to whether the president had the power to issuo such a regulation, and after some discussion it was finally agreed that it would require a special act of congress conferring the authority upon him. It was decided that it would take too long to call congress together, as the situation demanded immediate treatment. The next best course was then suggested by Surgeon General Wyman, who proposed that a regulation should be adopted by which all ships should be detained in a safe place and under constant supervision for a suOicient period of time to permit of the development of any latent case of the disease which might be on board. The period of time during which the cholera bacillus is supposed to retain its virility is ten days, but in order to be on the safe side it was suggested that the period of detention for vessels arriving at any port should be twenty days. This suggestion was at once acted upon and the conference after being in session one hour adjourned.

Have Done All Possible.-'V

It is admitted in official circles that every precaution necessary has now been taken by the government officials who are charged with the responsibility of keeping out the pcbtilonce and nothing remains except to strengthen the medical examiners along the Canadian border and provide for better methods of inspection and disinfection in many southern ports which are now admitted to be weak in this respect. Neither the president nor any of his advisers is sure that the regulations adopted will prevent an invasion of cholera, but they say that they have exhausted every resource, and if the disease comes it will have to be met aud dealt with in the proper way.

Going Hack to Loon Luke. When the president had disposed of the cholera question he set aboX, arranging the plans for his departure today. His anxiety over Mrs. Harrison's health made him desirous to return lo Loon Luke as soon as possible.

Tlio Vessel llrimkft Apart During" a CJi.Ip—' l'nssengor* and Crew Take to the lluaU, Which Art* :ip»lz«(l-Tw»'ii-ty-Sl.v I.lve* Lost.

PEATH IN AXGltV WAIT'HH. SARI.T STE. MAHIK, Mic.li., Sept. 2.— The large freight steamer Western Reserve has been lost off Sable banks, near Deer Park, and of the twentyseven persons on board only one has been saved. Six of them were passengers. one of the latter being Peter Minch, of Cleveland. O., the owner, who recently became a millionaire. The other passengers were the wife, sou and daughter of Capt. Minch and Mrs. Mary Kngleberry and her daughter Bertha, of Vermillion.

On the previous trip of the Western Reserve its crew consisted of twentytwo men. No new men were taken on in Cleveland at the shipping office for this trip, so it is likely that most of the old crew were on board when the vessel went down.

Split Asunder.

The Western Reserve, bound from Cleveland to Two Harbors, passed Suult Ste. Marie Tuesday evening. Although a heavy wind was blowing from the northwest the steamer ptiid no attention to it and plunged into the tremendous waves running. No sooner had it passed out

The Load 1'roved Too Heavy. It was a heavy load for the yawl boat. The wind had steadily increased and the waves were tremendous. When within a mile from shore it, too, capsized. and all were thrown into the water. Of the twentj'-seven only one, Henry Stewart, of Algonae, Mich., reached the shore. Stewart walked 12 miles to the nearest life-saving station, where he gave notice of the disaster.

Three Uodiett Recovered.

The life-savers there began to patrol the beach and Thursday moruing found two bodies. One of them was identified as that of Capt. Minch by his watch. The other was that of a darkhaired woman. Thursday night a telephone message to Newberry stated that another body had come ashore.

Story of th« Only Survivor. Never was a jollier party on board a steamer than on the Western Reserve when it passed through the canal Tuesday night. Capt. Minch anrl his three children stood upon the bridge, and all were in the best of spirits. When the news reached here that the Western Reserve had gone down in GOO feet of water the report was generally discredited. It could no longer he doubted when Henry Stewart, the only survivor, reached here Thursday night on the fish tug E. M. B. A. Mr. Stewart said: "Everything wont well until about 0U miles above Whltelish point when the Urst warning anyone on board had of Impending danger was a terrible cnish about 9 a m.f eausod by the hugo craft breaking In two und breaking the tnainmuHt about half-way up the ripping

Stic took in water fast from the start, and the yawl boats were forward, ("apt. Minch, his family und the officers and crow, to the number of seventeen, got into the wooden yawl and the others look to the metallic one.

Sunk In Ten Mtuotes.

•The Reserve sunk ten minutes ahd'tjcfore she had hardly gono out of sight the metal, lie yawl capsized. The other went to her assistance, but only succeeded In rescuing two of her occupants, Capt, Minch's son and the steward. Tho nineteen survivors started for Whiteilah, CO milos away, The wind was about west when they sturtml, but veered to the north,• making considerable soa. Hut the yuwl weathered the breakers all night aud until 7 the next morning, when, about 10 miles from life-saving station No 10 and about a mile from tho shore, it capsl/.ed.

Stewart says that he saw none of the oocupants after that. He struck for tho shpre, but the cries of the children, screams of the women and moaning of men were terrible for a few mo ments. Stewart was in the water two hours. He struck shore about 12 miles above the station and had to walk there before reaching anyone to render him assistance. A search failed to find trace of any other survivor of the wrcck, and there is no question that they were all drowned.

The terrible tragedy was not discovered until morning, when a neighbor passing the house was horrified to see the dead bodies of the two men iying in the yard. He entered tho house and found Mrs. Feetner, the wife, still alive, though fatally wounded. The old lady. Mr. FeeAiior's mother, was dead.
