Some Physicians Pronounce it a Species
of Cholera.
HAMBURG IN. J.), October 4th.-In this
village, with population of 500, there has
been no less than fortv-6ve cases of malig-
nant dysentery within the last two months,
and many of the inhabitants in little
hamlet near by have suffered with the
plague, and nine died. But in Hamburg,
where the disease originated, its rsvages
have been the greatest. Twenty deaths
have occurred.
A doctor says it is Enthusiastically plague
of epidemic contagious dysentery. Others
believe it is a species of cholera, such as
was predicted would follow the general
epidemic of la grippe last spring. There
is foul pig-pen in the village, on the end
of pond and within ten feet OF large
cemetery. For years it has not been
cleaned out, and the offal has been accumu-
latiDg during all this time.

RESIDENCE BURNEp.
FIRE IN THE soNoMA NoUNTAINs.
MISLEADING REPORT CORRECTED.
Very Little Damage Done to Fruits by
the Late Rains.


San FRANc1.ce, October 4th.-A tele-
gram from E. L. Goodsell, one of the larg-
est dealers in California fruit in New York
CITY. states that on account of the recent
rains in California, no more green fruit
shipments may be expected from thence.
One of the leading fruit-shippers of this
CITY declared this morning that such q
statement was entirely unfounded. The
rain of last Monday did but very little ma
terial damage to the green fruit, with the
exception of wine grapes, which were dam
aged to some extent. Peach shipments
are nearly over for the season, last week
being the eliminating point. The rain
had nothing to do with peach shipments
Stacking up. In fact, the weather lately
has done wonders toward saving the crop.
The slight damage done will not be felt to
any degree.
The rain compelled a great many who
would have dried their wine grapes to sell
them to the wineries, with the result that
instead of making an overstocked market
in dried grapes and possible great decline
in price. the grapes already dried will come
into consumption. If they had persisted
in driving the grapes they had intended,
there would have been twice as much as
the market could stand at the present high
prices. The growers will not lose anything
by it. for the reason that the grapes they
are now selling to the wineries they can
get from 81 to S. per ton more than at the
beginning of the season had the grapes
been sold to the wineries.
There has been a marked advance in
dried aprieots in the last few days, as they
sre entirely cleaned up. This advance has
also extended to the Eastern market, as
they are getting gradually cleaned up
there. At the same time dried peaches
have been declining in price and the mar
ket has been very weak. 1t is expected.

Documents and Speakers Being sent 10
the Various Districts.
WAsHISeroN October 4th.-A remarkable
line CT campaign literature has been pre-
pared by the Republican Congressional
Committee. These documents are short
and attractive. They relate almost en-
tirely to issues that have been developed in
Congress. One of the pamphlets Is en-
titled, Facts from the Treasury" inns
pamphlet shows how this administration
mas saved the people no less than SOL co.,
GOO in lis redemption of the bonded debt.
Another is entitled, Fair Elections, or
Foul Choice" the significance CT which Is
apparent. Another, entitled a" Better Days
for Farmers" relates 10 the effect OF the
Mckinley bill upon all agricultural pro-
ducts aud supplies. The silver bill, pen
SIGN bill, and various ether issues are also
treated.
These documents have been circulated
by the million, and force OF about one
hundred men and women Is employed
night and day in sending them OF. The
scene thus presented by all this activity IS
unique and interesting.
Speakers also have been engaged by the
committee. Those orators who have been
intimately connected with the passage and
discussion OF any measure are employed to
explain it to the people. Congressman
Lodge and Rowell, who conducted the
battle in the House in behalf of the Federal
election bill, are mainly relied upon TO
present the arguments made in Congress
from ss many platforms as possible.
General Grosvenor of Ohio, Congressman
Dolhver of Iowa, Cannon, Burrows and La
Toilette of Wisconsin are among the orators
of whose talent the committee is making
use. Speaker Reed will go to Mckinley IS
district, Cannon's district and probably
the remoter parts Of the West. These
speakers are being sent mainly into dis
tricts where there are the greatest diff
culties to be encountered. but where there
is still chance of victory. The committee
is confident of carving the next House.

WARRINGTON. October 4th.-The pro-
posed investigation of the Office of General
Dumont, Supervising Inspector of Steam
Vessels, appears to have come to an abrupt
end. The reference of the resolution in
structed by Flower back to the Committee
on Rules is probably the last of it.
Last Monday, when General Dumont.
the Supervising Inspector General, was be-
fore the Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries, which has been given
charge of the investigation, it was dis.
covered that the charges were not signed.
Flower was sent for, and asked by the COM
mittee if he wanted to take the response
bility for the charges, and he replied that
he did not; that he knew nothing about
them except that Mr.. Hustled come to
him with q letter of recommenoation and
introduction from George L. Norton, editor
of the Marine Journal, and claimed to
represent the Grand Harbor of Brotherh God
of Pilots-3300 licensed pilots-who
claimed persecution by General Dumont.

EXCITED IMPORTERS.
The New York Custom House Presents
a Lively Scene.

IAe New 1Ork custom mouse PRESENTS
a Lively Scene.
New YoRK, October 4th.-The most in
tense excitement prevailed IN and about
The Custom House all day. Whole troops
of importers and brokers kept coming and
going. As three o'clock approached the
numbers increased, until the rotunda was
filled with a solid mass of humanity,
which punched and yelled. All wished to
get their entries in under the old law, and
stood ready to make entries the moment
the vessels were sighted at Fire Island.
BY a decision of yesterday the Custom
House was 10 have closed at three o'clock
to-day, but the mass of importers was so
great at three o'clock that Collector Err
hardt announced the time extended until
four o'clock. Each moment after three
O'Clock the excitement became greater.
Those in the rotunda appeared to be going
crazy. They shouted, yelled and made
futile efforts to move about. The clerks in
the various divisions were swamped with
business.
Not for years has such q scene been en-
acted in the Custom house. The Collector
was in quandary. His Office was jammed
full of importers, who waved rolls in their
hends and shouted to him not TO close.
The pressure on the Collector became so
great that finally he teleeraphed Secretary
Window for advice. The Secretary soon
replied for the Collector to use his dis
cretion in the matter. Accordingly, the
Collector decided to keep the Custom house
open until u o'clock to night. The inn
porters cheered.
The steamships Regnals, City of Chicago,
Vandam and City OF Columbia, the latter
from Havana with cargo OF tobacco, are
expected to arrive tonight.
At P N. the City of Chicago was entered,
and great part of the waiting crowd was
relieved at Cos P. n. the steamer Regulus,
with cargo of laces, silks and velyets,
entered. There was still due the Etruria,
Thingvalla and Zandam, and news of them
was anxiously awaited at 1880 P. II. 1t was
rumored that the Etruria was sighted of
the outer bar at 9:S4 P Il. At one minute
of IL the Captain of the Etruria had not
arrived. Ten seconds later, when half the
lights were out, carriage came up on
rush to the door, and q great shout went
up. From the carriage jumped Captain
Harness, who was Immediately behind
the counter, and entered his vessel just be-
fore the clock struck midnight. Three
cheers and tiger were given for him. The
Captain had come up on special tug and
was driven at break-neck speed from the
dock TO the Custom house.
The receipts at the Custom house to-day
were 81, I54, 5S3, the second largest amount
taken in there since the war. The receipts
for the week were over six million dollars.

persons of high rank" writes Mr.. Ben
ton, Especially the ladies, have the privi-
lege of being kissed by the Queen. Other
ladies make low courtesy and kiss the
Queens hand, which she places in the
palm of their hand. If the Queen conde-
sends to kiss an untitled person this per-
son must not expect to return kiss in
kind, but must only kiss her hand. Of
course lady before reaching the Queen
must have her right hand ungloved.' In
addition to this it is also worth while for
Americans to know that, according to the
best etiquette, they do not have to kiss the
Queens hand unless they want to.

Window, Assistant Secretaries Spaulding
and Nettleton and General Appraiser ITCH
enor spent to-day over questions that have
arisen regarding the execution of the new
tariff law which takes effect Monday morn
ing.
Several importers, DESTROYS of receiving
the full benefit of existing tariff rates, ap-
piled to the Treasury Department for per-
mission to enter their goods ct the Custom
houses up to midnight Sunday.
Assistant Secretary spaulding has in
formed them that this is a matter entirely
within the discretion of the Collectors of
Customs at the various ports, and that the
department is not disposed to interfere in
the matter General Spauldipg said to. day
that he did not anticipate trouble with re-
gard to the execution of the new law on
the Pacific coast by reason of the failure of
customs officers TO receive official copies of
the law at the date it goes into operation,
as entries made on and after Monday un-
der the present law can be readily liqui-
dated under the new rates with very little

SAN FRANCISCO, October 4th-The trav-
cling show of California products known
as california on Wheels" is now at Tren-
ton, n. ]. For two weeks the cars have
been at Philadelphia, where they have at
tracted great attention and been visited by
several thousand people. Major Lauck, in
charge, writes that the success of the show
in drawing visitors has been better at Phil
adelphia than at any place before visited
during The tour. Every night when the
doors were closed between 500 and 900
people would be turned away. The after
noon crowds were the largest that he had
ever seen waiting outside in line for adj
mission.
From Trenton the cars will move slowly
through New Jersey, and will reach Jersey
City on the 14th. Arrangements are now
being made, and will likely be successful,
to send the cars over the New York Central
tracks into New York city. If this is done.
they will be kept several weeks in the
great metropolis. 1t is expected to have
the show back here By New Years. 1t will
come west by the Northern Pacific.

WINEMAH EIDDELL.
The Heroine of the Modoc Massacre
Pensioned for Life.


WASHINGTON, October 4th.-Winenah
Riddell, the heroine of the Modoc massa-
ere, has been granted pension of $50 per
month for life.
In 1873 General Candy and a force OF
United States troops were engaged in a
campaign to subdue the Modocs. These
Indians, led by Captain Jack, had taken
up an almost IMPROBABLE position in the
lava beds. A Commission was sent out by
the Government 10 negotiate peace. AT
the head of the Commission was Colonel
4. B. Meacham. The Interpreter for the
Commission was a man named Riddell.
His wife was Modoc woman named Wi
nemah Riddell.
The Commissioners offered amnesty and
the Modocs sent back fair promises. Sew
eral oyertures were made and each time
Winemah warned the Commissioners that
the Indians meant trickery. Later came a
proposition from the Modoes for council,
at which half dozen on each side should
appear unarmed. The Modocs repeated
the request for council next day and said
that if the talk was satisfactory they would
all come into camp and surrender.
Riddell went before the Commissioners
and told again of Winemah's warning.
He said to the Commissioners that if the
meeting must be held, he wanted to be free
from responsibility. But General Candy
and DR.. Thomas, of the Commission, re-
fused to believe there was danger. They
insisted on keeping the appointment and
going unarmed.
A conference with the Indians was held.
General Candy was asked to withdraw the
troops. His refusal was the signal for the
massacre. Candy and Thomas were shot
dead. Colonel Meacham fell, with two
bullets in his body, and brave had torn a
portion of his scalp off when Winemah
rescued him and carried him back to camp,
where be recovered.
